A passionate researcher's journey through Natya Shastra, Vedic philosophy, Indian classical arts, and the aesthetics that shape our society — by freelance writer, blogger and editor Naredla Ramachandra.
Freelance writer, blogger, editor — and a passionate researcher in the field of Indian classical dance, music, Vedic philosophy and aesthetics.
Passionate researcher in the field of dance and music. Working as a free lance trainer, blogger and YouTuber. Active for 5+ years in digging and working on aesthetics, Vedic texts and Natya Shastra.
Naredla Ramachandra is a freelance writer, blogger and editor with 8+ years of experience working across diverse domains. A self-described "secret blogger," he has dedicated years to researching the philosophical depths of Indian classical arts — especially Natya Shastra and its cross-references to the Vedas, Upanishads and ancient cosmic sciences.
His research is not academic in the conventional sense — it is lived, intuitive and deeply personal. He believes that every step a dancer takes has a direct connection to the universe, and that music, dance and art are ultimately tools for spiritual realization and the resurrection of Sanatana Dharma.
The aestheticsofsociety platform was created to bridge the gap between ancient Indian knowledge systems and the modern world. Through YouTube videos, WordPress articles and social media, Ramachandra aims to educate dancers, gurus, scholars and art lovers on the practical importance of Vedic texts, Sanskrit grammar and the Natya Shastra.
The blog's subtitle — Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitaha — captures the philosophy: when we protect Dharma, Dharma protects us. Art, music and culture are not separate from this protection — they are its very expression.
Worked across various cross-domain profiles with 8+ years of experience. Currently working as a freelance trainer, blogger and YouTuber. Also offers services in spiritual and emotional healing. Available for writing, editing, training and consulting work in the areas of Indian classical arts, philosophy and culture.
