The dance is a worship of the whole body and a worship by the whole body. Your bare feet thump and beat on the ground Refreshingly your feet carry you away. Rarely do people get a chance to wave their hands and use the power of their arms to swing and sway,click and clap, and have a great time while doing so. The good Garba steps, shake, rattle and roll your body in the right blend and rhythm and create momentum like a gyroscope, so you can spin and oscillate in balance and in harmony and keep going on and on and on. After a time the steps flow well and an almost perpetual motion gets going. This physical action in conjunction with the pleasant dance, the music, the radiant people and situation is a heightened way of enriching ourselves, our body and our being. The parry of the hits from the others and the many ways that you click the sticks. Gently, hard .. soft.... missed..... with ferocity, with indifference.......with a flirting glance ,a tantalising trance, ......with a aren’t we having fun glance. eyes meet ,the eyes of a stranger, those of a friend, the glance of a dancer, the gaze of a trancer
The way that some of the dancers move in such swirling and flowing rhythm, in balance, harmony and glow, swift and speedy, in an instance they are gone to the far side. Only to reappear a few minutes later, twirling and swirling away, spinning and weaving, again and again, round and around .........all over the ground. A communion, a bringing and coming together, a flowing and growing together, , It is not the kind of dance you see anywhere else. it seems natural to these dancers that they should move and flow in this way. And they flow and move and swirl and spin in the most awesome and amazing dazzlement.
Here like a gyroscope you are held in balance and harmony and the gravity of the spin and spinning keeps you in orbit. This is an evocation of the spinning of the cosmos, the essence that holds the stars and planets in play and sway. This dance of devotion binds these dancers together in dancing deliriousness, all are one and one is in all. These are not mere dancers, they are far more, taking part in this cosmic dance of grace and devotion and being part of a wondrous performance, such that the gods and goddesses smile and play, dally and dance in wonder and merriment, gazing in amazement on the spinners and shakers, the spinners and swirlers, trancing around the ground in their devotion profound
This is not mere dancing,This is a differing dimension, This is sparkling and shining devotion Playing and Flowing with the Divine.
