| "Dhananjayan
gave a touching description of the story of Nandan and his vision of the
Lord of Chidambaram. The music and the dance interpretation blended
well, bringing alive the scenes and Dhananjayan as Nandan gave an enjoyable
performance"

Nandini Ramani, The Hindu, September 26, 2003
"That such a simply
dressed man, standing alone on stage clad in a plain dhoti, without any
adornment, not even the mandatory bells on his feet, could have such a
profound effect on the audience might seem implausible, but when the dancer
is V.P.Dhananjayan, the awe is natural, nay even expected. His 70-minute
long expose �Nandanar Charitam' in Kalakshetra, Chennai, was one that every
artist aspires for, the ultimate performance that moves an audience to
tears... one that will be remembered forever..."
Such brilliance
is not an everyday affair. Little wonder then that those of us left standing
in the packed auditorium chose to remain so for the entire show...."
