Synopsis This collection of essays on Gaudiya Dance brings to the notice of scholars a distinct style of dance, hitherto uninvestigated, which is characterized by a beautiful blending of devotional religion and art. Dance, music and drama constitute the essential features of Gaudiya Dance. Each of these features form a wholesome symbiosis. This dance seems to have considerably influenced the other classical dances of India. What is really remarkable is that Gaudiya Dance is essentially a Vaisnava form of dance, the technical aspects of which were explained in a number of scriptural works.
