Yoga-Maya – Theatre is one of the surest means for achieving bliss in this world. 

Yoga-Maya Theatre has for its stage the field of life. Life is such that whatever you conceive gets materialized. This is because of the reality at the back of it.

The yogi meditates and visualizes the Light of Lord, whereas a Natya-Yogi is aware of the shadow in the form of the world – the cause being the divine light.

Culmination comes when both, the Yogi and Natya-Yogi merge into one, namely the Gopi who is solely interested in dark complexioned child running on the sand of the Yamuna river bewitching her with his enticing beauty and divine love.

Dr. Jayanti Patel was awarded a Doctorate in Philosophy in the subject of Natya-Yoga prepared under the guidance of  Prof.S. A. Upadhyaya at the Post Graduate and Research Department of Bombay’s Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan.

He feels that both natya and yoga have a common purpose – to shatter the ego, to experience bliss and thereby universalize the individual transcending the limitations of time and space. Natya like any other form of an art is Yoga in Indian thought. It is a transpersonal art according to Jayanti. Instead of Ego, it takes you beyond Ego.
