How Ancient India Used Dance to Awaken Consciousness | Sri Sri Natya Explained

Описание: Is dance only a performance — or can it be a path to meditation and inner awakening?

In this deep conversation, Meghna Sunil, senior Sri Sri Natya teacher, explains how Ancient India used Natya (dance) not for entertainment, but as a sadhana — a spiritual discipline designed to harmonize body, mind, emotions, and consciousness.

Rooted in the Vedas and traditionally known as the 5th Veda (Natya Veda), Indian classical dance was meant to guide a seeker from emotion → awareness → stillness → samadhi. This podcast explores how movement, rhythm, bhava (emotion), and rasa were consciously used to awaken higher states of consciousness — long before “mental health” or “stress management” became modern buzzwords.

Meghna Sunil shares rare insights into Sri Sri Natya, a contemporary expression of this ancient wisdom inspired by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and explains why dance is not about talent or performance, but about expression, release, and inner balance.
