The document discusses the purpose and history of Indian classical dances. It notes that these dances were originally meant to connect the dancer to the divine through intricate movements and expressions of emotion. However, it says that modern dancers have lost this spiritual focus due to commercialism and a lack of emphasis on tradition and the guru-shishya relationship. The author argues dances should aim to achieve spiritual bliss and self-realization rather than just entertainment. Dancers must rediscover dancing for God as the sole audience in order to truly uphold these classical art forms.
