Gnani has written
this Treatise on Dance so that all
can understand the meaning of each
of the 108 Karanas or Dance Forms
as mentioned by Bharatha in his
book "Nattiya Shastra" in Sanskrit.
Dance ("BharathaNattyam") combines
Yoga and Bhakthi. All these 108
Dance Forms were originally performed
by Lord Shiva himself. Psychological
concepts are shown through Mudras
(Hand Gestures) in this Dance Form.
There are certain Dance Forms for
Kundalini Yoga, Raja Yoga, Bhakthi
Yoga and Atma Yoga. There are 112
songs in this book for 108 Karanas
and 133 songs for Abhinaya (Expression
of Emotion)
