Indian Classical dance and Tantra (technique for Moksha) dance for human upliftment than just an aesthetics.
Please explain how Tantra techniques - Sadhanas be used to get Moksha through practice of dance.
I think the practice and teaching of dance needs refocus.( from getting lost into the grammar of the technique and self recognition to Moksha).
Sage Bharata in NatyaShastra and Acharya Nandikeshwara says in Abhinaya Darpan that if you practice the Art with sincerity you will receive Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
Can Tantra help achieve the last one, Moksha. Can the focus of Teaching, Practicing, Performing of dance be changed that dance can be used for Upliftment of 'self?
In other words, Angahar and Karanas, all Bhedas (Drishti,Greeva, Mudra etc) are they symbolic of any power? The angles of the body and it's limbs, the geometry of it - is it more than perfecting the body and keep alignment ? Can Tantra knowledge help dance knowledge to get full benefit of this Shastra without taking detour at Artha and Kaam?
Please explain if there are techniques to invoke Mudra so in Abhinaya it does not remain corporeal and help enhance Abhinaya and Rasa. Does Abhinava Gupta has Sadhanas to reach selflessness through Dance?
This might be relevant: I gather that the bauddha vajrAchArya-s of newar practiced charya dance (in secret ceremonies) to get samAvesha of their deities - (intro vid) - this might capture the original spirit as a sAdhanA. Now it's a public performance is publicly taught as nepAli classical dance, both good and bad examples of which are found online - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_Lsl73RHOM
