Abstract

The article The Dramatic Arts in Gaudiya Vaishnava Devotion by Donna M. Wulff examines performance forms such as nāṭya and līlā-kīrtan as vehicles for theological transmission and devotional experience. Wulff argues that these dramatic practices not only communicate scriptural stories but evoke deep emotional and spiritual engagement, turning the performer into a channel for divine presence.
