    The dance of Prana is Gods gift to the dancer and it came with a lot of sacrifice and surrender to the Powers that govern this universe and the individual thought merging with the cosmic thought. The dance of Prana is the dance of electron, neutron and beyond the tinest conceivable the human intellect.You are a unique soul that carried the cross before reserructing as a dancer.

    U are absolutely stunning mam , and yes I am highly inspired by your journey , but pls mam don't manifest this image of India around the world that too in such a huge platform , that you "I am a girl from India.... And so and so... Marriage ... Kids" yes there are people with conservative thought but that is a very little part of country and now a days most daughters from the household and encouraged to step out and bring laurels to the faimly also empowerment for themselves. As a responsible citizen of India it is our duty to hold the dignity and image of our country.😃 Namaste🍃

What a poor opinion she has of her own fellow country women! And is this what she wants to convey about Indian women, to this august audience & to the world !!! As the old saying goes ... “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.”

    Despite this, she feels that sort of pressure every day, whether from society or within her mind, most likely engrained (traumatically and via micro-aggression and cultural pressures) from her childhood and upbringing, which as motivated her to challenge and fight against those words, which has brought her to where she is today. Can you imagine the thoughts going through her head, to be brave and do this dance in front of so many people so publicly. I can relate.

    the opinion is not of her country women. its a very accurate representation of what's expectef from women in India, Pakistan etc. And it IS true that for her to be there on that stage performing when growing up shes clearly faced the pressure of society to follow the traditional path, its an awesome feat. That she fought so hard for her dreams. It wasnt that she thought lowly of the women of her country. She was speaking from her own experience. She found the pressure by society negative, it wasnt about her fellow Indian women.
