    PAPER 14 KIRTANAM and TILLANA MODULE 1 The Importance of KIRTANAM in Bharatanatyam repertoire KIRTANAM Singing The Praise of God Is Keertana / कीर्तन. Keertan Is a Sanskrit Word .It means telling the Glory of God. In Southern Part India Keertana, came to be known as Kirtanam / कीर्तनम Or Keertanai / ककर्तनै with a regional touch. The different names with Adjectives attributed to gods are known as Kirtanam. Keertan Singing is a common feature in the pan Indian Tradition. It Is Sung In Temples And Religious Congregations. This Musical Form Is Prevalent In The Regional Languages All Over India. Irrespective Of the Type of Music Whether Hindustani or Carnatic, Keertan Takes a Special Place in the Repertoire of Music, Dance, Harikatha / हररकथा and bhajan Concerts. The Recitation And Chanting Of Vedas By A Group Of Priests As Part Of The Rituals Can Be Considered As The Early Example Of Collective Singing Of Devotional Music. Devotion Is a Universal Feeling and the Supreme Prayer to Attain God’s Feet. There are Threefold Margas to approach The Infinite .They are Gyanamarga / ऻानमागत (Intellectual Path), Karma Marga / कमत मागत (way of action) and The Bakhtimarga / भक्तर्मागत (Devotional Path).The devotional path is considered the ideal and easiest to approach god. The attractive form of displaying devotion is by singing his praise. Hence kirtanas are the best musical form in the sphere of devotional music. Structure of the kirtanam Kirtanams are set in simple ragas (tunes) to make easy for everybody to sing. The talas set are also simple and rhythmic.

  • 40 an Effect of Raga Therapy on Our Human Body
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Research ISSN: 2455-2070 www.socialresearchjournals.com Volume 1; Issue 1; November 2015; Page No. 40-43 An effect of Raga Therapy on our human body 1 Joyanta Sarkar, 2 Utpal Biswas 1 Department of Instrumental Music, RabindraBharati University 2 Assistant Professor, Department of Music, Tripura University Abstract Now a days, music assumes a vital part in each human life. Because of overwhelming work weight, people listen music to relax. Music increases the metabolic activities within the human body. It accelerates the respiration, influences the internal secretion, improves the muscular activities and as such affects the "Central Nervous System” and Circulatory System of the listener and the performer. A Raga is the sequence of selected notes (swaras) that lend appropriate ‘mood’ or emotion in a selective combination. It’s a yoga system through the medium of sonorous sounds. Depending on its nature, a raga could induce or intensify joy or sorrow, violence or peace, and it is this quality which forms the basis for musical application. Keywords: Raga Therapy, human body Introduction Music therapy as a means to identify with cultural and spiritual identity Music therapy to assist memory and imagination. Etc The goals of Raga therapy are dependent upon the purpose of music therapy for each individual case. Drug and alcohol centers and schools may use music therapy and behavior changing may be an important goal (Sairam, 2004a) [3]. Whereas, nursing homes may use music therapy in more of a support role or to relieve pain. Autism, a neurological disorder that affects normal brain functioning is usually noticed within 30 months of age.
