As the chief guest at the third Anugoonj Youth Festival of the University, he asked the students to reject the negative influences of the western society and take pride in the unique and rich Indian cultural values.He cited several instances where he was amazed at the inquisitiveness of foreigners about the intricacies and the philosophy of Indian music and dances. He said that it was unfortunate that music and dance lovers abroad are getting Indianised while our own youth are unaware of the greatness and vastness of our culture.
Explaining the spiritual foundations of Indian dances, he said that during the Treta Yuga, when the people had gone wayward, Lord Brahma created the fifth Veda, the Natya Veda, which is reflected in the Natya Shastra.
