"On going through Komala Varadan's book entitled 'Bharatanatyam - Expanding Horizons' it seems as if the story of Ramayana, in glimpses, is being enacted in front of you. This book has a special significance for me considering the linkages that Ramayana and Mahabharata has with the art of my home country Indonesia".
- Prof. Moegiadi, Director, UNESCO,New Delhi
"In her endeavour to popularize Bharatnatyam and reach out to a larger audience, komala chose Tulsidas's Ram Charit Manas and choreographed it into a fullscale recital that got wide spread appreciation all over the country. Komala has now pieced together this recital into a unique book 'Bharatanatyam - Expanding Horizons'."
"The scenes of the story are presented through intricate footwork, facial expressions, eye movement and mudras. Komala weaves a pattern, a story through rhythmic movements."
"All in all it is an immensely useful book, a collector's item specially for all connoisseurs of dance."
- The Asian Age,Delhi
Komala Varadan's Ram Charit Manas is not only innovative but is a pioneering and path breaking work.
- P.V. Narasimha Rao Former Prime Minister of India.
