Bharata Natyam is an art which consecrates the body which is considered to be in itself of no value. The Yogi by controlling his breath and by modifying his body acquires the halo of sanctity. Even so, the dancer who dissolves her identity in rhythm and music makes her body an instrument at least for the duration of the dance for the experience and expression of the spirit.
Dr T. Balasaraswathi quoted in Kali Prasad Goswami (2000). Devad?s?: Dancing Damsel. APH Publishing. p. 45. ISBN 978-81-7648-130-4. | ||
