Created Works
In 2001, CODC Inc. began presenting works which consisted entirely of Devraj's original dance choreography and music composition. These works premiered in Toronto, Ontario, Canada with the assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, the Toronto Arts Council, and the Laidlaw Foundation. They included: Panchadeva (2001), his magnum opus Shiva Naba Rasa (2005), and Jai Sri Rama (2006), as well as the four-year epic called the Mahabharata Vira Quadrilogy from the Kurukshetra Chronicles: Bhishma (2003), Drona (2004), Karna (2005), and Arjuna (2006). The sheer volume of his created works makes him the most prolific composer and choreographer of Odissi works in his generation.

Famous quotes containing the words created and/or works:
“The major men
That is different. They are characters beyond
Reality, composed thereof. They are
The fictive man created out of men.
They are men but artificial men.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Night and Day ‘ve been tampered with,
Every quality and pith
Surcharged and sultry with a power
That works its will on age and hour.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
