During his early years, he dedicated himself to learning and perfecting the Kuchipudi dance form, guided by his father and guru PVG Krishna Sharma.  It is required of all the males in his home village to learn and become an expert Kuchipudi dancer. Dr. Vithal practiced the dance form in the early hours of the morning, went to school, and then practiced it once more in the evening. He has completed his B.A (Dance) and M.A. (Dance and Music).

Following his graduation, Dr. Vithal was approached by Padma Vibhushan Yamini Krishnamurthy, who extended an invitation for him to visit Delhi in order to pursue a career as a dance guru at her institution. Following his marriage to the love of his life, Dr. Bharati Vithal, a known Kuchipudi dancer, he relocated to Delhi. They are both scholars under the Indian government's Ministry of Culture.

Currently employed by the Government of India, Dr. Vithal is the Head of Department in the Faculty of Music and Science, New Delhi. He has been working for the Indian government for approximately forty years. In addition, he owns two dancing academies: one in New Delhi and one in Gurgaon.

Under the able guidance of Padma Shri Ms. Indrani Rehman, Dr. Vithal had his first opportunity to perform at an international show in the United States. Due to the program's huge success, Dr. Vithal was also able to secure the future of his dance events. He has made 21 trips to the US for performances. He used to perform for six months in the US and then return to India for the next six months. In addition to performing in India, Dr. Vithal has given dance performances in the US, Japan, Singapore, Nepal, Canada, Poland, Russia, Germany, and other nations.

Regarding his accomplishments, Dr. Vithal tells us that he is the recipient of the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award. Additionally, he has received two Kennedy Awards in the US. The American Telugu Association, the Indo-American Cultural Centre, and other organizations have honored him.

In addition, he has been a member of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and is a top-tier artist for Doordarshan.

Dr. Vithal went on to create new methods to captivate the audience with his own compositions and melodies in order to prolong his presentations for two and a half hours either alone or along with his wife. He accomplished this by once giving a free programme to the French Society. He informs us that in the past, performers would perform with other artists for just twenty to twenty-five minutes. Dr. Vithal proudly informs us that he has had the opportunity to showcase his dance style to prominent Indians, including Mr. Krishna Reddy, the former cultural minister, Ms. Meenakshi Lekhi, Mr. Venkaiah Naidu, and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the country's Prime Minister at the time.

When asked about his sources of inspiration, Dr. Vithal says that Padma Vibhushan Yamini Krishnamurthy has been both a mentor and an inspiration to him, teaching him the virtues of perseverance and hard effort in addition to the complexities of the dance form.

Dr. Vithal enjoys learning about Indian classical music, choreographing dance performances, and watching classical Indian dance styles in his free time. He always turns to dance for solace in stressed times.

Dr Vithal tells the younger generation that music has immense power and encourages them to pursue careers in this field. Dance and music are essential for anyone who wants to be a great performer. Young performers should concentrate on honing their foundations every day. A person must have inner contentment. Young people should think about what they want to achieve ultimately from choosing a profession in this area. They must love the art form, and eventually, the art form will love them back.

Dr. Vithal concludes by saying that pursuing art with one's full might and devotion will lead to ultimate fulfillment and that giving up on it will not bring true happiness.
