Why was India a world power? Because Sri Krishna had lived in this country, Sri Rama had lived here and so had Lord Buddha. It was their Teaching that made India a great world power.

More quotes by Rukmini Devi Arundale

We want to dance, we love the Indian dance because it gives joy, but we must remember that there should be integrity and reverence.

To recreate the temple atmosphere on the urban stage, and thus to facilitate a new kind of seeing that would enable the spiritual revival of the dance.

We dance with our bodies, but we finally forget them and transform them.

All the songs we dance to are of Gods and Goddesses. You may ask, why so many Gods and Goddesses? The only reply I can give is, Why not so many Gods and Goddess ?

Many people have said many things. I can only say I did not consciously go after dance. It found me."
