| | Resources on Traditional Indian Dance - The Spiritual Art of India |  |  |  | Spiritual Art: Traditional Indian Dance Art is collaboration between God and Man, raising him to the exclusive band of creators and taking him deeply within and around his hard work. It is a unique result of a unique temperament with its beauty derived from mutable disconcert of his environment. When early man stenciled an impression of the dark of wall of the cave, he was deliberately, vision and creation. This story of art has been largely the story of man’s continuing search of meaningful marks for shape, movement and image that can most eloquently express his experience of the inner and outer world, resulting in enlargement and perpetuation. Such a man, bestowed with reason, had always been a grater thinker, when absorbed in his surroundings he was pondering, imaging and visualizing the shape of things to come about the domestic carvings and comforts in life.
Creation motivated by different desires resulted knowingly or unknowingly in chronicling his present for the future and preserving them for posterity.
These instincts found their vent in different forms and in fact they were the foundation of the birth of fine arts. Born thus, the arts improved from stage to stage and from age to age in different forms and styles, from the initial crude lines to the superfine form and movement.
In ancient India, fine arts of dance, painting and sculpture were developed and inspired by religion. All arts like all stages of life and embodied in religion. Indian art is life suffixed by religion and philosophy. Art was dedicated to providing objects of worship in a life ordered by faith. Indian art of all the periods has been close to life both divine and traditional.
The theory of Indian dance cannot be isolated from the arts of literature, sculpture, painting and music. Human nature with its joy and sorrow is depicted by means of representation through dance.

 |  |  | Traditional Indian Dance - The Spiritual Art of India: Reinterpreting Vaastu In
India we must be grateful that the core beliefs, theoretical rigour and
application of the Vaastu Shastras are still
available, though in a depleted form. From the study of texts, dialogues with
practitioners and field application of the concepts I have been able to
reconstruct the overview of the Vaastu Shilpa Shastras and
give a guideline for present day application. There is a great deal of
resistance and deep feelings of distrust from the trained designers in the
'modern institutesÕ toward the assumptions and symbolism of the traditional
paradigm. It is almost as if they feel threatened that their hegemony would be
displaced. Are their fears valid? Is the basis of the Vaastu Shastras questionable
in its present day application? Is it a meaningless mumbo jumbo in the
'scientificÕ climate of today?

Allure of TantraThe
Allure of Tantra
Perhaps nothing is more exotic, dramatic and sensational in
IndiaÕs Yoga traditions than is the practice of Tantra. No other approach to
Yoga has gained such a fascination for the modern mind and its seeking of the
bizarre, the entertaining and the enigmatic.
Tantra appears to offer both spiritual and worldly success
to a superlative degree. It covers not only internal yogic experiences of
chakras, lokas and deities, but also has many important healing practices for
body and mind. Most notably, it offers special means of heightening sexual
pleasure, making money, gaining recognition and defeating oneÕs enemies - with Tantric methods
available for achieving all human desires. There is in Tantra something for
everyone, especially those who may be put off by ascetic or renunciate
approaches to the spiritual life such as seem to dominate most of the rest of
the Yoga tradition.

 |  |  | Traditional Indian Dance - The Spiritual Art of India: History of BuddhismThe history of
Buddhism spans from the 6th century BCE to the present,
starting with the birth of the Buddha Siddharta
Gautama. This makes it one of the oldest religions practiced
today. Throughout this period, the religion evolved as it encountered various
countries and cultures, adding to its original Indian foundation Hellenistic as well as Central Asian, East Asian, and Southeast Asian cultural elements. In the process, its geographical extent became
considerable so as to affect at one time or another most of the Asian
continent. The history of Buddhism is also characterized by the development of numerous
movements and schisms, foremost among them the Theravada, Mahayana, and Vajrayana traditions, punctuated by
contrasting periods of expansion and retreat.

Living Tradition of Sahaj MargSahaja Yoga: The Living Tradition of Sahaj Marg
The Raja Yoga system
known as "Sahaj Marg" is still relatively obscure in the West, even
among Yoga aficionados. This is largely due to the fact that Sahaj Marg has
been a low-key, word-of-mouth practice. Works by the lineage of Sahaj Marg
Masters, published under the auspices of the Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM),
are difficult to locate, and beyond the abhyasis or practitioners of
Sahaj Marg, few are aware that SRCM centers have been established worldwide
since the Mission was founded in India fifty years ago.

Movements correspond to tones, and as we dance the concepts of giving, receiving and renewal, we allow the Earth and Cosmos to do the same. Through us, the Earth opens her portals, her points of power, to give of her own energies, to receive of the Light. The Cosmos itself receives and is blessed and gives more.

|  |  |  | | Spiritual Dance Spiritual dancing is a cross cultural phenomenon, a testament to its power and authenticity. Cultures from every continent on this planet simultaneously embraced unique dance forms. Purpose in dancing is to `enter the consciousness' or `become the spirit'. Dance rituals Connect us to Spirit and empower us with abilities such as courage and compassion, as well as reveal insights into the future. Trance dance, an ancient shamanic practice, is a healing vehicle through which people can commune with their Spirit.
Dance could be seen as a moving prayer and a doorway to the soul or `spirit within' and if you dance into the state of ecstatic trance you will connect completely to the healing powers of Holy Spirit.
"To the universe belongs the dancer, who ever does not dance does not know what happens."
