Standing on One Leg – Nataraja

“The best thing about Swami Ekapada is that he can neither take a step forward nor back – firmly rooted in a status quo that is pleasant, efficient, and non-threatening. This said, whenever required, Swami is the first to hop in,” says Swami Vibhu, who has known him from the day Swami did his Isha Yoga class in 2000. Together, they are also part of the Isha Home School.

An architect by qualification, Swami Ekapada is a gifted orator, actor, and drama teacher – a role he accidentally fell into. His extraordinary ability to communicate, control, and project his voice, with equally dramatic expressions, enthralls adults and children at once.

“Swami brings in a very different flavor of drama. Not the serious kind, but one that makes you take yourself less seriously by the second. Yet another creative way of demolishing the limited personalities we build,” says Tina Jabr, who attended a theater workshop with Swami, which was especially designed for the Ishangas.

On the last day of this theater workshop, Sadhguru came to watch the Ishangas’ perform their acts. As soon as he came into the hall, Sadhguru looked in the direction of Swami Ekapada and stood on one leg. This is because Sadhguru never misses an opportunity to tease Swami about the meaning of his name. Here we reproduce the short banter between the two from a Brahmacharis’ Meet, for you to enjoy.

“Stand on one leg and ask, Swami?” said Sadhguru as soon as Swami took the microphone to ask the question.

One striking change about Swami ekapada is his English accent. Now he has to work hard if he has to convince people that his origins are in Lebonon. He had surprised me with his Tamil and now his English accent😄
My daughter left IHS 6 yrs ago yet she keeps talking about how Swami had taught her drama and public speaking 😇

« Very hard to choose, because all of them where he spoke to me and looked at me with that look, and he gave me very profound thing that I didn’t understand. Those are all etched in my memories, hoping that maybe I’ll understand them sometime. » 😢
May Sadhguru also give us all those looks and give us those things 🙏🙏🙏
