AGTSP.... Paoho.... We did so much work with B. S. Damodara Swami and Ranga-niketana, Manipuri, Dance and Kirtan... We learned a little about Indian-Vedic-Krsna Conscious Dance.

Our esteemed student, Radha-prati-japa Devi Dasi is a dancer.

The question comes: What are some good themes for Dance in ISKCON?

Of course, what we are doing is Gandharva Veda. We can realize God through Vastu-veda, architecture etc or Ayur-veda or Danda-veda, but we are realizing Him through GV: Music, Dance, Drama!

Lord Caitanya would act out. the meaning of the songs.. . .

We can dance spontaneously in Kirtan!. . . . .

We can organize Dance/Drama according to the styles of the Acharyas like Manipuri traditions attributed to Narottama Das Thakura et al.

We have seen devotees trying to do Rasa-lila with 4-ladies, 4-men at Janmastami and it seems very weak. It is hard enough for the Laksmis in Vaikuntha to do Rasa-lila, what to speak of Iskcon devotees. Of course, if you are born in the right place, like Manipura (Peru), you might have the facility to do something wonderful that makes even public feel choked up. . . . Raga. Tala. Abhinaya! . . . SINCERITY =]]PURITY[[=:>>

We suggest things that have stories. Not just feelings, like Rasa-lila.

Gaura-arati is a very descriptive song. Make it into a dance. It catches the mind and becomes of intense personal use to Srila Prabhupada.

Dasa-avatara-stotra: Manipuris, South Indian communities have DAS! Why not ISKCON.

We suggested The Song of the Bee to Radha-prati-jalpa.

"Jaya Radha Madhava, Kunja bihari...": Again nice story.

We have a kind of Gaura-arati we can dance out, and it allows us to catch, stimulate our mind.

Dance for Krsna! Nobody else has to see.
