proper behavior, ethical and moral fortitude,
courage, love and adoration of the divine. (en)
- When is a play successful?
Drishtaphala [visible fruits] like banners or
material rewards do not indicate success of
a play production.
Real success is achieved when the play is
performed with skilled precision,
devoted faith and pure concentration.
To succeed, the artist must immerse the
spectator with pure joy of rasa experience.
The spectator's concentrated absorption and
appreciation is success. (en)
- Performance arts and culture
Let Nāṭya be the fifth vedic scripture.
Combined with an epic story,
tending to virtue, wealth, joy and spiritual freedom,
it must contain the significance of every scripture,
and forward every art. (en)
- Training actors
For an actor who is not yet perfect,
the techniques described in the Natyashastra,
