SHUKATUNDA - Dance Dimensions

This is a wonderful demonstration of hasta-viniyoga. You can find most of them on Youtube  under the title 'Dance Dimensions'. I think it can be also a secondary educational aid, after you have learnt hastas from you teacher.

Indian Aesthetics

The Hindu mind views the creative process as a means of suggesting or recreating a vision of a divine truth; and regards art as a means of experiencing a state of bliss akin to the absolute state of 'ānanda', 'camatkāra' (delight) and 'jivanmukti' (released in life). The process of creating art is a spiritual discipline (sādhāna), a form of yoga, and asacrifice ()yajñā). 
Any form of sādhana is a means of recognition of one's truer self. An artist is involved in a discipline for the attainment the Infinite Being, who is the first and the greatest artist, the source of inspiration. Individual experience is given here universal significance. It is individual self becomes universal through art by allowing divine, or universal, creative powers be revealed in an individual. It is also perspicacity of vision which enables one to see the underlying unity of everything. Without unifying universal vision and experience artistic creation has little significance and becomes ego show. Only when and artist is grounded in the core center of his being 'hṛdayavīśrānti' an experience of bliss becomes possible.
Human beings with their subjective emotions where not themes important enough to be portrayed in art. All feelings and states need to be seen as grounded and coming from one source - universal taste 'rasāvastha'. The state should be evoked unlike any empirical experience. The state which is transcendental (alaukika). Through aesthetic susceptibility (sahṛdayatva), power of visualization, or creative thought (pratibhā), poetic culture (kāvyānuśīlana), contemplative habit (bhāvanā) and a capacity of identification or 'becoming' (tanmayībhavanā-yogyatā) and many other qualities and disciplines the reality of Universal being can be experienced. 
The spectator must also have an inner preparedness to receive this vision and be a potential artist: he is a 'rasika', a 'sahṛdaya', one who is capable of responding. All Indian arts, especially the art of music and dancing demand a trained and initiated spectator.
