Considering the body as a means of expression, Embodied Philosophy in Dance deciphers forms of meaning in dance as a medium for perception and realization within the body. In doing so, the book addresses embodied philosophies of mind, hermeneutics, pragmatism, and social theories in order to illuminate the perceptual experience of dancing. It also reveals the interconnections between physical and mental processes of reasoning and explores the nature of physical intelligence.

Did women in ancient Bh?rat recite the Veda-s, perform agnihotra and wear the yajñopav?ta? Who were R?s?ika-s, Brahmav?dini-s and Yogin?’s, and how did they attain that state? Why are the rules of religious practices similar for women and the ??dra var?a? Can women and the ??dra var?a officiate as temple arcaka-s, and how would this impact them and the temple? Var?a Vidy? provides answers to all those who wish to know the science behind the dharma?a?stra rules for women and the ??dra var?a. Going beyond the sociological understanding of var?a based on j?ti-gu?a-karma, this book takes a deep dive into the biological basis of var?a dharma to answer questions about women and the ??dra var?a, especially in the context of religious practices. More than 100 sa?sk?tam verses from smr?ti-s (Manu, Y?jñavalkya, Par??ara, etc.), the Bhagvad G?t?, ?r?mad Bh?gavatam, Upanis?ad-s and Tantra texts have been covered in this work, revealing their subtle meaning. Several published studies and modern scientific theories have also been included to ease the understanding of the present generation. The book not only answers burning questions of the present time but also explains the science behind the spiritual path prescribed for women and the ??dra var?a. In the process of decoding the rules for women and the ??dra var?a, the science of var?a dharma itself stands revealed as an unintended consequence.

Passionate and forbidden love clashes with tradition and caste in a changing India. Kamala Kumari is more than a Gemini Studio starlet: she's a classical dancer trained in the age-old line of Devadasis, a caste set in place a thousand years ago when girls were first dedicated in south Indian temples to serve the gods and men. From the promise of art and devotion, the sacred dancers fell into the hands of priests who both exalted and betrayed them. Beautiful, brilliant and proud, Kamala struggles to escape the old ways, entangling her Indian assistant, Dutch lover, and his young American wife. With its turbulent passions amid social upheavals, The Last Devadasi takes readers on a sensual feast in the 1970s palm-shaded trading city of Madras.
