Kaosikii dance

The Kaosikii or Kaos'ikii dance is a dance invented on September 6, 1978 by the Indian philosopher and social reformer Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar aka Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (1921–1990).

Sarkar claims the kaos'ikii dance is a psycho-physical exercise which would benefit the mind by developing mental stamina and strength. Some hints to this dance are also contained in the speech "The Cosmic Father Has a Special Responsibility" given in Madras (India) on December 4, 1978 and later published in "Ánanda Vacanámrtam Part 6, Chapter 5"[1][2] and "Discourses on Tantra Volume Two, Chapter 23".[3][4]

Etymology

“The name Kaoshikii comes from the Sanskrit word kosha, meaning “layer of mind”. Kaoshikii develops the subtler layers of mind, cultivating the feeling of mysticism – the endeavour to establish a link between the finite and the infinite – in one’s consciousness. It instils self-confidence and encourages self-expression."[5]

gollark: Basically every cheap phone I've had just broke from me damaging it in some way, while your expensive iPhones have had some sort of weird internal failure, which is kind of funny.
gollark: I'd like to replace it, but obviously now isn't really a great time for that, and there... aren't really any good replacements.
gollark: I'm using some random cheap phone from about two and a half years back, and it's held up well apart from the touchscreen not responding half the time now and also the battery being fried.
gollark: Android won't even let you stick anything but some apps' data and random files on SD cards. It is very irritating.
