Yato hastah- thatho drishti
Yatho dristhi- thatho manaha
Yatho manah- thatho bhaavaha
Yatho bhavah- thatho rasaha
Only when your vision, mind and expressions intersect- that sweet spot can move your emotion/you.
This is exactly what dance is supposed to do.
Natya shastra teaches interesting things. Almost tells you stuff that's otherwise obvious but is oblivious because of our lack of wisdom.
What is dance, you ask?
Kante naalanbaye geetham
Hasthe na artham pradarshayeth
Chakshubhyam darshayeth bhaavam
Paadabhyam thaalam aachareth.
When a song comes out of the throat chakra, your hands show the meaning of the lyric.
The eyes show the expression of the mood and the emotion.
And the feet- they follow a rhythm.
That's the rhythm of life. A place to engage all your senses to experience the moment.
And... this is life.
Natya shasthra is beautiful and full of wisdom.
