Dedicatory

Salutations to Naṭarāja, the Divine Performer who demonstrates the Consciousness-Arts in their purest form.

I humbly bow to and offer this work at the feet of Bharata Muni, Mahavatar Babaji Maharaj, the lineage of Kriya Yoga masters, Paramahamsa Yogananda, paramguru Paramahamsa Hariharananda, and gurudev Paramahamsa Prajnananada.

May the consciousness-arts, and in particular music and dance, bring health, growth, and realisation through direct experience of the Blissful Essence.

Acknowledgements

I express gratitude to my Somatic Dance teachers: Sarsha Hope, Stephen Blase, and Femke Burger, and to all the volunteers and attendees of the 2025 Somatic Dance training in Bali.

My deepest gratitude to my pilgrimage and life’s companion, Deb, and my friend and brother devotee Tushar.

“Are you?, Are you?
Coming here with me?
To run by my side, so we can be free?”
