Karma Yoga and its relationship with Natya Veda !

In Retrospect !

Yoga + Aesthetics = Bharatanatyam,

Yoga + Force = Martial Arts,
Yoga + Ritual = Devotion to God,
Yoga + Meditation = Peace.

And ; 

BHAGAVADGITA = KARMA YOGA = RIGHT ACTION.

Lets explore how Karma Yoga is related to Natya Veda.

Natya Veda is the NOBLEST OF ALL ART FORMS.

NATYA VEDA will teach you how to PERFORM RIGHT ACTION THROUGH  KARMA thereby TRANSFORMING YOUR BODY INTO A SACRED INSTRUMENT.

In Bharatanatyam each ACTION has a CLEAR GEOMETRIC PATTERN.

ACTION is called ADAVU in NATYA VEDA.
There are about 250 Plus ADAVU's / ACTIONS (Geometrical Patterns).
One Adavu/Action cannot have more than SEVEN - 7 steps.
If you want to perform for a difficult song track - you will have to join multiple Adavus-Actions taking the shape of SPIRAL.

The entire dance (ACTIONS) takes the shape of FIBONACCI - GOLDEN RATIO

Bharatanatyam lays the foundation to perceive PURE CONSCIOUSNESS; and it begins with SPACE CONSCIOUSNESS.

Without SPACE*TIME we cannot PERFORM ANY ACTION.

As seen below  - A Kinesphere is a SPACE we create around our body for ACTIONS-MOVEMENTS.

We hold our ENERGY (LIGHT + SOUND)  in SPACE * TIME

ENERGY = LIGHT * SOUND = FEMININE ASPECT

PURE CONSCIOUSNESS = SPACE * TIME = MASCULINE ASPECT

SELF ( body ) is divided into FOUR EQUAL PARTS with their apex meeting at the navel - The body takes the  form of Mandala. Mandala is a Sanskrit word and it represents geometric pattern of the cosmos. 

In NATYA VEDA : You train your body to take the shape of a MANDALA BY PERFORMING RIGHT ACTIONS.

KARMA YOGA :

Those who PRACTICE KARMA YOGA will have a Body which is already in the shape of Mandala.

Have you seen people not involved in any Physical Fitness Activities but they are PHYSICALLY  FIT AND HEALTHY. HOW ? This is because they are either consciously or unconsciously practicing KARMA YOGA.

How is Natya Veda related to Karma Yoga ?

BHAGAVADGITA = KARMA YOGA = RIGHT ACTION.

Karma Yoga = Spiritual Path by RIGHT ACTION.

Lets explore this :

When I was in Primary School, until Class 5th, Unlike my siblings I Denied sleeping in the night unless I hear a story from my Father - It was my father who made me sleep every night with different stories.

One night I heard a story from my father which his father told him.

My Paternal Grand Father was a Lawyer.

The story is that :

KARMA = RIGHT ACTION and RIGHT ACTION alone can bring FRUITS. 

However our duty is only to perform RIGHT ACTION and not for the FRUITS thereoff.

LABOUR will never produce FRUITS ; LABOUR can only FULFILL MATERIAL DESIRES LIKE SEX / POWER / WEALTH.

Later during my life in Abroad I encountered with many women from different companies and industries who worked 16 hours/day (LABOUR) and they not only got PROMOTION AND INCREMENT - Some got into a Physical / Sexual Relationship with their Boss.

This is LABOUR and what you receive here is not FRUITS - IT IS FULFILLMENT OF WEALTH AND SEXUAL DESIRES.

My Father taught me that AS PER KARMA YOGA ;

LABOUR IS THE VIOLATION OF RIGHT ACTION (and)

LABOUR IS PERFORMED ONLY TO FULFILL MATERIAL DESIRES.

Natya Veda will teach you HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR BODY INTO A MANDALA Via RIGHT ACTIONS.

Practicing Karma Yoga will automatically TRANSFORM YOUR BODY INTO A MANDALA.

I saw this Image on Twitter !

Look at my Body - Can you guess my  Age ?

Physical Body is the first stepping stone to Higher Possibilities.

For most of the people Physical Body functions as a Road Block to higher possibilities.

No Amount of physical fitness activities can help you build a HEALTHY BODY - Only KARMA YOGA can help you build  a HEALTHY  ; PURE AND SPIRITUAL BODY.

KARMA YOGA IS A SCIENCE.

Friday Musings ; Treat Yourself and Enjoy your SOUL.

I want to receive a Treat.

Each one of us have a KINESPHERE AROUND US.

All our ACTIONS come from this ENERGY CONTAINED IN A SPACE CALLED KINESPHERE.

Friday Musings : This is INTUITION and not FANTASY.

IMAGINE a Baby Suckling his Mother. This is A SELF-LESS ACT AND NOT LABOUR.

No Amount of Sucking can ever damage the PURITY AND SACREDNESS OF HER BODY - This is KARMA YOGA. A RIGHT ACTION DOES NOT ENTRAP YOU IN THE BONDAGE. THERE IS NO ATTACHMENT HERE. 

ATTACHMENT comes only from LABOUR because in Labour - One is attached to RESULTS.

EMPTY YOUR-SELF AND YET BE FILLED.

KARMA YOGA = SELF-LESS ACT AND IT IS NOT LABOUR.

Feel the pain of TOO MUCH TENDERNESS.
