The real message of the Dance opens up the vistas of life to all who have the urge to express beauty with no other instrument than their own bodies, with no apparatus and no dependence on anything other than space.

You and I are but specks of that rhythmic urge which is Brahma, which is Allah, which is God.

We can hear the silent voice of the spiritual universe within our own hearts.

I have lived so long because in those moments when I am dancing, I am beyond time and space.

We have the capacity to receive messages from the stars and the songs of the night winds.

It is this mission of the dancer to contribute to the betterment of all mankind.

Dancing of late years has been degraded to the narrow limits and low professionalism of mere mechanical proficiency, associated with the most frivolous... phases of the stage. But this day is fading...We are turning our gaze inward, learning to seek there the divine sources of the dance, to the end that it may flower into new and more glorious forms of beauty and wealth
