Anu Papp has been in Second Life since April 1, 2007.

Anu is a philanthropist, poet and musician who embodies the spiritual world, be it dance or photography, she is always interested in opening the hearts and letting light in.

She began her musical journey at the age of four, made rapid progress and became one of the youngest concert pianists at the age of nine. Her love for photography awoke at the age of 15.

As a Kundalini Yoga teacher, she feels strongly inspired by meditation and spiritual music.

Guided by strong feelings and emotions, always with the desire to “leave a golden nugget in the souls of others”.

Anu always manages to connect the world with the power of music, be it through the creator of the sacred dance Shamballa to a live performance.

As an established content creator and photographer, Anu has always been involved with art.

Anu says that for her, dancing is like dreaming on the feet.

As part of a group of people who share a common admiration for movement art, and in her role as the founder and CEO of the Muse Dance Company, Anu plays an important role in the art community of Second Life.

I would like to end my short introduction to interview with Anu with a quote:
“Yoga was made for a person to be healthy, happy, and holy. Kundalini Yoga was made to be healthy, happy, and holy and aware! The secret of your soul is awareness. ”

Interview with Anu Papp

Anu,

Your life without art would be …

Anu: Art for me is the blood of life. Without it would be a sad, huge void.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

Anu: As a Kundalini Yoga Instructor as taught by Yogi Bhajan, my practice drives much of my inspiration which includes meditation and sacred music.

What is your work about?

Anu: My work whether it be by dance or photography focuses on opening one’s heart and allowing the light to enter.

How is the artistic process like there? Do you see an object / person / landscape first and then the idea comes up? Or is it upside down?

Anu: I would say an emotion begins the process. A feeling. From there things evolve.
