asa-e; dance

"Dance", so essential to Bhakti-yoga, is a 14th century French word, according to etymological dictionary online.

Pretty recent origin.

Previous word was from Latin. In Spanish, "Saltar", as seen in the English, "Salient".

Sanskrit, "nRtya" eg. "mahapraho kirtana nrtya gita" (Sad Goswami Astaka).

Usually described as "sequential movement", this questions the idea that our culture is predominated by a linear view of time, as opposed to a "be here now" iconographic, "Bhava".

Hare Krsna, Hare Rama!!
