Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi explained that Vedic Dance is a direct means to achieve Brahma Vidya, the totality of knowledge. Vedic Dance or Indian Classical Dance is the most natural and complete technology for enlivening transcendental, Self-referral Being and its expression in the physiology.
Vedic Dance Therapy is a powerful technique for health and well-being. Practicing the dance as well as seeing the dance performed creates bliss and balance, transforming the physiology, developing higher states of consciousness, and generating more coherence in collective consciousness.
Movement, gesture, expression, meaning, fine feeling, and Transcendental Consciousness are integrated and unified, and the dancer performs in an expression of wholeness, beauty, and bliss.
Vedic Dance is a sacred discipline, connecting the individual to the Supreme, the Divine. Arising from a dancer’s consciousness, the movements are created as an expression of the Self and a form of communication with the world.
Vedic Dance Therapy increases mind-body coordination. This beautiful form of artistic expression provides an excellent exercise in a blissful way. Benefits of practicing Vedic Dance include:
Maharishi said that Indian Classical Dance is essentially a Vedic performance. It has its basis in Total Natural Law which maintains all physiological functioning at the basis of self-referral consciousness and maintains orderly growth.
Vedic Dance is an aspect of Gandharva Veda, lively with the integrating and harmonizing
value of Natural Law. Through Vedic Dance we align our physiology and consciousness with
the Cosmic rhythms and patterns of Total Natural Law.
Vedic Dance can be seen as ‘flowing Yoga’. It enlivens the inner energy and intelligence in the
body, unifying silence and dynamism, wholeness and parts, creating health and balance in the individual and the environment.
The Department is currently offering courses and performances in two styles of Vedic Dance, Kathak and Bharatanatyam with our faculty members Yagyaa Srivastava and Rebecca Busch.

“We connect dance with Gandharva Veda, Yoga Asana, and Dhyan, and then it will become a part of Brahma Vidya. Different dance forms, different Ragas are assigned in different health situations and this will be called as Dance Therapy. People go to watch dance anyway and the Dance Therapy will serve as entertainment as well as there will be realistic transformation of their physiologies.” — Maharishi
