Speaking about dances, Poet Kalidas once observed…
There are some who excel in embodying the classical dance form in their portrayals: there are some who excel in transmitting it to their disciples". Judging from a long list of noted exponents of Odissi style of dancing, performing and imparting knowledge to others in India, and across the globe, the 2nd part of kalidas definitions fits aptly to Guru Hare Krishna
Behera.
