Passion & Gita

Yesterday I watched a Kathak performance by the Maestro - Pandit Birju Maharaj & his disciples.
They were all very passionate about the dance form and it was a treat to witness their performances.

Birju Maharaj & his troupe , demonstrated the creation of various scenes with the bells tied on his / their feet  -  A peacock rain dance, ducks in a pond, a hockey game, geometric sequences and much more. it was an amazing experience.

But what I really want to share is that he said he saw dance in everything. He sees the combination of rhythm & movement in everything from signing on documents to typing on lap tops to playing ball and in opening window. And he works to recreate the scenes with the rhythm & movement in the dances that he composes. And its his passion for the dance which enables him to see dance everywhere and he works very hard to share it with others.

Its said when you are passionate about something you can connect everything around you to that subject.

Wish I had the passion for Gita knowledge to that extent - to see the Gita principles around  & to be able to translate them to others in a form that they can appreciate & enjoy and then make the connection.

Praying & Waiting!
