Srila Prabhupada comment about Bharatnatyam and Hare Krishna chanting

I asked him about dance and poetry. I said, "Srila Prabhupada, what do you think of cultural performances of Bharatnatyam dance about Krishna and the gopis. Are they spiritual?" He thought for a moment and said, "It is spiritually inspiring in the moment. But the difference between that and the chanting of Hare Krishna is that the inspiration which you derive from chanting is permanent."
