The 108 Karanas DVD

http://www.thewayofdance.com - The 108 Karanas are sculpted at the Nataraja Temple, Chidambaram, South India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Nataraja, the presiding deity of dance. The Karanas are the basic dance units of Bharata Natyam, and the mother source of the rich variety of Indian dance traditions. Lord Shiva has said, "Dance is of Divine origin, sent to Earth as a precious gift, not to please the senses, but to enlighten the spirit with contemplation of noble beauty, which expresses eternal Truth." This DVD clearly shows each of the 108 poses, including a live performance of the Karanas. For more information go to http://www.thewayofdance.com/prod.htm.
