Geeta, your love of dance shouts from this poem. And you make me think how descriptions of all life itself as a dance are appropriate—the wind or spirit that moves trees, waves, our hearts... As it happens my eight year old granddaughter who studies break dancing has what they call a battle today. I appreciate how this has been teaching her to hear and move with rhythm and makes her body strong. Thank you for this poem. -Glen
Hi Glen, thank you for this lovely review. Dance is a part of my life, my body, my mind and my soul. :)
The myriad colours of ‘Raaga' - Melody, ‘Taala' - Rhythm, ‘Bhaava'- Expresssion, Merg and mould to become An aesthetic delight, A soulful symphony, A bliss of highest Consciousness! You have within you the Goddess of dance residing in majesty and you have known and experienced the influence of that deity and beautifully caught the essence of dance in the concluding lines of this poem.

Valsa, thanks a lot for these wonderful words of appreciation. You write with such depth and conviction that it is always a pleasure to read your comments. God bless.
Outstanding poem followed by a graceful posture speaks louder than the words. Mind blowing poem. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.
Asim ji, thank you so much for your beautiful words. You have always been very generous.
Magnificent, Geeta. I find great depth in the observation that existence is part of a greater whole. Something missing, and one encounters the risk that all is in jeopardy of vanishing. A great work, Geeta.
Thanks a lot Mj for your wonderful observation and appraisal of this poem. I truly value them.
Having read this engrossing series, one is convinced that the artiste as well as the audience share an extraordinary bond which is aesthetically and spiritually satisfying to the core. When told by the artiste herself, it becomes an ethereal experience. Being a novice in the field, I bow my head before you, Geeta ji. God Bless You. Dance is performed and manifests its varied hues Through the vibrant movement of the dancer! The rhythm of existence.... A soulful symphony
Dear Rajnish ji, your appraisal of the poem is so endearing and so full of encouraging words that one feels that it was worthwhile writing a poem. Your comments are both aesthetically and spiritually satisfying too. Thanks a lot for your tremendous support to my poems.
This is difficult for a classical dancer to live without performing devotional dance for God. She expresses her quality and prayer both through devotional melodic dance. With soulful symphony realizing eternal rhythmic consciousness is definitely great. An interesting poem is beautifully and excellently penned...10
The basic tenets encompassing the concept of, dance and dancer as also the bondage between them, have been marvelously unfolded through a melodious song.
Thank you so much dear Ratnakar ji for your nice and generous comment.
I agree with your words. According to me a true dancer will dance even when they are experiencing the deepest sorrows because dance is not just an art form but a medium of attaining peace. A dancer will never quit dancing.
