Dr. Sukdaven suggested that I embark on the study of the concept of Maya. Although this concept provided a challenge for me and my faith, I wish to thank Dr. Sukdaven for giving me the opportunity to cover such a deep philosophical concept in Hinduism. This concept Maya is deeper than one expects and has broaden and enlightened my mind. Even though this was a difficult theme to cover it did however, give me a clearer understanding of how the world is seen in Hinduism. 3 List of Abbreviations AD Anno Domini BC Before Christ BCE Before Common Era BS Brahmasutra Upanishad BSB Brahmasutra Upanishad with commentary of Sankara BU Brhadaranyaka Upanishad with commentary of Sankara CE Common Era EW Emperical World GB Gitabhasya of Shankara GK Gaudapada Karikas Rg Rig Veda SBH Sribhasya of Ramanuja Svet.

  • Abhinaya in Bharatanatyam
    PAPER 6 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY, DANCE-DRAMAS, CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CLASSICAL FORMS, INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN DIASPORA (USA, UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) MODULE 19 THE EARLY FEMALE GURUS AND DANCERS OF BHARATANATYAM From early 1900 A D, some brave girls and their families started a journey, going where earlier it was a great taboo to go. The courage, conviction and love for dance prompted them to venture on a path which at that point had no direction and was beyond worldly gains. Also in such a tumultuous time, to be born to that tradition was really tough. We need to know, understand and get inspired by these women, due to whom millions are not only learning Bharatanatyam, but it has given dignity and purpose to the art. Here we study a few of them. SMT. BALASARASWATI Balasaraswati was born in 1918 and died at 1984. She rose on the solo Bharatanatyam horizon through her sheer genius. She belonged to the devadasi tradition and was extremely proud of it, though she was never initiated into any temple service. The only dancer to be conferred the prestigious Sangitha Kalanidhi title; she reacted sharply to compartmentalizing the dance into sacred and profane water-tight divisions. For Bala, Shringara / �रĂगार was an all- 1 encompassing mood which included all the other moods. In 1975, speaking at the Annual Conference of Tamil Sangam, Bala made the famous statement, "In Bharatanatyam, the shringara we experience is never carnal, never, never!" Bala came from a home where musicians like Dharmapuri Subbarayar / धरमऩुरी, Tiruvottiyur Tyagier, Hayagrivachari / हयाग्रिवाचारी (from Dharwad / धारवाड़), Govindaswamy Pillai, Ariyakkudi Ramanuja lyengar were frequent visitors, who came to meet and listen to Bala's grandmother, the inimitable Dhanammal, the veena player.

It is the union of reason and intuition that cannot be defined but is only to be experienced” - Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan (1888-1975) ॐ अञानतिमिरा्ध्य ञाना्जनशलाकया । चषुु्िीमलिं यॳन ि्िॴ रीगरवॳु निः ॥ om ajnana-timirandasya jnananjnana salakaya caksur unmilitam yena tasmai sri gurave namah “I offer my most humble obeisance to my spiritual master who has opened my eyes which were blinded by ignorance with the light of knowledge.: [FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION] 1 INTRODUCTION The Information on this article “Fundamental Concepts of Hinduism” furnished here in is compiled from various mail friends, internet sites and elders who have knowledge on this subject. The documents referred in the net sites are quoted as told but not gone through by me for their authencity. Every effort has been taken not to leave essential points but to make the reading informative and interesting. Since the subject matter is lengthy and it could not be confined in one or two postings - it may appear lengthy. Hindu Dharma says, “To lead a peaceful life, one must follow the Sastras which are the rules of the almighty that cannot be changed by passage of time(i.e.kruta,thretha,dwapara&kali yuga).The almighty says, “Shruthi smrithi mamaivaagya yaasthaam ullangya varthathe | Aagya chhedi mamadhrrohi math bhaktopi na vaishnavahah||” Which means,vedas and sastras are my commands and one who surpasses these rules have breaken my laws and cannot be considered as my bhakta or a vaishnava.

From far away you hear the playing of drums and cymbals. You are visiting your friend who is very knowledgeable. He tells you that the drums are announcing to the people around that a Kathakali performance will take place later in the evening. Both of you decide to witness the performance. People arrive in twos and fours, leisurely chatting with each other. They are discussing the performance that is going to take place. You are surprised that most of them knowthe story that is going to be performed; they are most excited that one of the greatest Kathakali artiste is going to enact the central role. Gradually everyone take their seats. There is a huge brass lamp placed in the centre of the stage near the frontline. It has two wicks made up of twisted strips of cloth. A man enters the stage, pours oil over the two wicks and lights them. Two drummers and two singers now enter the stage and take their positions almost at the back of the stage. One of the singers holds a metal disc which he sounds with a flat piece of wood the other holds huge cymbals in his hands.
