Among
the modern trends of thought that India has successfully inculcated
in the minds of the west, the glory of the fine arts and
particularly Bharata Natya deserves first ace. It created new
history. This notable achievement is superb and the reputation it
brought to Indian culture is phenomenal, and became instrumental in
plant* the banner of Hinduism over the citadels of western culture.
The Bharata Natyam and its other forms owe their existence to the
cosmic dance of Nataraja. Great exponents, and Natyacharyas diving
deep into its ocean brought out dazzling diamonds of eternal
brilliance. They taught and followed their disciples all over the
world and displayed divinity of Hindu culture with such
effectiveness, that the foreigners of some advanced countries bowing
to its glory, are learning it with such stead fastness and
dedication that our savants too are approving, gaping at the display
of their mastery. It is indeed a matter of great pride and glowing
tribute to the art. A glance of its glory pays.
