You are here to raise yourselves with devotion, and with this love, you must invoke devotion in others.

Today the world is losing its eco- logical balance as man, out of utter selfi shness, is robbing mother earth of her resources like coal, pe- troleum, iron, etc. As a result, we fi nd earthquakes, fl oods, and such other devastating natural calamities. Human life will fi nd fulfi lment only when ecological balance is maintained. Balance in human life and bal- ance in Nature, both are equally important. Sathya Sai Published by Sri. P.R.

Prasad: 98470 84480 EMAIL: [email protected] 11 SWACHATA SE DIVYATA Praana Shudhi: Immediately upon waking up in the morning and just before sleeping at night, sit up erect in the bed and breath in gently from the left nostril and breath out gently through the right (keeping the other nostril closed by pressing your finger against it). Then breathe in through the right nostril and breathe out through the left. Three such cycles need to be done. Mana Shudhi: Immediately after the above, sit up with an erect spine and just observe the normal flow of the breath for three minutes. Keep the eyes closed gently and do not concentrate them at any spot. The same routine is to be followed at night time also. Deha Shudhi: To protect yourself from sore throat, cold and cough, gently brush your tongue after having brushed your teeth. Thereafter, gargle three times and then rinse your mouth. Rinse and gargle your mouth each time you eat or drink something. Brushing the tongue results in harmful bacteria being removed thus reducing the chance of infections like sore throat, colds, coughs. Deha Shudhi: Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds before & after eating anything. Do not touch your face with unwashed hands. This will protect the eyes from infections like conjunctivitis and also protect you from cold, coughs etc. which result from touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your face with them. Pariyavaran Shudhi: We are very closely related to trees - what the plants breath out we breath in and what we breath out the plants breath in. To protect our planet, each of us must get one sapling, name it and nurture it. The sapling can be kept at home till it matures and it is safe to plant it in any suitable place outside.

  • Folk Dances of India: Kathakali
    Folk Dances of India: Kathakali Kathakali is a major classical dance form from Ancient India. It is a “story play” of art that includes elaborate, colourful makeup, beautiful mesmerizing costumes and face masks traditionally performed by male dancers. It is a Hindu folk dance performed in the Malayalam speaking southwest region of Kerala. Kathakali is derived from Katha, which means “story or a traditional tale”, and Kalī means “performance or art”.​1​ Kathakali is a long tradition that symbolizes the eternal fight between good and evil. It was given its present form by Mahakavi Vallathol Narayan Menon, the founder of the Kerala KalaMandalam. Being a more relatable form of art strikes a chord with the public as it embodies their customs and religions. It involves vigorous and florid movements, stylized gestures and loads of facial expressions. These gestures are broad and robust, and faces are made from face paint which look like masks. The characters of Kathakali express their emotions and the story through songs from the background and their unique loud expressions. Dances rely on hand gestures, known as mudra, to convey the soul of the story.​2,3​ Costumes, makeup and face masks are the most distinguishing features of this classical dance. There are several kinds of costumes including, Sathwika (the hero), Kathi (the villain), Minukku (females), and Thatti.​1​ Each character is easily recognizable by his makeup, costume and mask. This costume consists of a full skirt and heavy jacket with embellished garlands and jewellery.​4​ The musical notes of Kathakali are similar to the traditional classical music of South India; however, the instruments used are different.

    SHANKAR IAS ACADEMY M ock test I I on 13.05.2018 PRESTORMING – MOCK TEST - I - EXPLANATION KEY 1. Ans (c) Explanation: • Statement 1 is correct. The qualifications for judges of Supreme Court explicitly mention the ‘eminent jurist’ whereas the provision is not found in the case of High Court judges. • Article 124(3) of the Constitution mentions the qualifications for appointment as a Supreme Court Judge. It states that • A person shall not be qualified for appointment as a Judge of the Supreme Court unless he is a citizen of India and— • has been for at least five years a Judge of a High Court or of two or more such Courts in succession; or • has been for at least ten years an advocate of a High Court or of two or more such Courts in succession; or • is, in the opinion of the President, a distinguished jurist • Article 217(2) of the Constitution talks about the qualifications needed for a High Court Judge. It states, • A person shall not be qualified for appointment as a Judge of a High Court unless he is a citizen of India and— • has for at least ten years held a judicial office in the territory of India; or • has for at least ten years been an advocate of a High Court or of two or more such Courts in succession • Statement 2 is also correct and it goes with the concept of eminent jurist. A jurist is any individual who researches on the theory of law and hence needn’t necessarily be an advocate.

  • Ashtadasha Vadyam's and Temple Arts of Kerala
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 8 August 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Ashtadasha Vadyam’s and Temple Arts of Kerala Manoj Manikkoth PhD research scholar Vels University Abstract: Kerala – The God’s Own Country – is filled with the presence of music, dance, musical instruments, temple arts and temple rituals. The history of various traditional art forms rests in the soil of Kerala. About eighteen musical instruments are known as ‘Kshetra Vadyam’. It includes ‘Deva vadyam’ and ‘Asura Vadyam’ from which the distinct place for ‘Chenda’ can be acknowledged by observing where it is present. It might be ‘Chenda’s resonance that make the seventeen ‘Ashtadasha Vadyam’s to below the ‘Chenda’. Some of the musical instruments which are being used for Pooja rituals in temples are also being used for some classical dance forms in Kerala. The study of such musical instruments and the classical dance forms associated to it are the foundation of this journal. Some musical instruments are used only outside the temple and some are used inside the temple only. ‘Sopana Sangeetham’ is one of the popular among ‘Kshetra Sangeetham’. Only one musical instrument is used in ‘Sopana Sangeetham’ ie Idakka. Idakka is a musical instrument which is inevitable in ‘Mohiniyattam’ concert. Idakka is only used in ‘Kathakali’ when female role is presented. The ‘Chenda’ is an inevitable musical instrument in ‘Kathakali’. Altogether, five musical instruments in ‘Pakkamaelam” are used when ‘Kathakali’ is staged from which four are ‘Kshetra Vadyam’s, ‘Chenda’, ‘Idakka’, ‘Madhalam’, ‘Chengila’ and the one which is excluded in Kshetra Vadyam’s is ‘Ilathalam’.

  • Wind Instruments of India
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Veena and Other Ancient Musical Instruments of India Copyright © 2016, DollsofIndia In our previous issue, we had brought you a detailed feature on the Veena and other ancient stringed musical instruments of India. As promised earlier, we now bring you the second part of the article, focusing on the ancient wind and percussive instruments of India. We are pleased by your positive response and feedback for the previous article and hope you enjoy this one as well. Wind Instruments of India We start our journey by exploring the most ancient wind instruments of India. Pungi/Been The Pungi, also commonly referred to as the Been, is one of the oldest wind instruments. It is predominantly played by snake charmers in India and Pakistan. Originally emerging as accompaniment to Indian folk music, it enjoys an important place in Indian art, culture and religion even in the present day. This instrument includes a mouth-blown air reservoir, which is made from dried bottle gourd. The neck is curved and at the other end, two reed or bamboo pipes are connected to one another. One of the pipes has seven holes – the player uses this to play the melody. The sound lasts as long as the player does not take pauses. The pungi, which is still a major part of Indian folk music and street shows, is also considered to be one of the ways by which one can communicate with the divine. Flute/Venu/Bansuri Flute The flute falls into the woodwind category. This is a reedless wind instrument, which produces sound from the flow of air via a small aperture.

It can be in following ways: PURVARANGA: “KUTTAMBALAM” – TEMPLE THEATRE ARCHITECTURE: NATYOKTI / DRAMATIC UTTERANCE: SPECIAL STAGE TECHNIQUES / EFFECTS: NIRVAHANAM: KAKSHYA VIBHAG / ZONAL DIVISION: MULTI FOCAL SCENE SETTING / SIMULTANEOUS DRAMATIC ACTION IN DIFFERENT LOCALS: TRANSFORMATION OF ROLES: MULTIPLE RELATIONSHIP / COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ACTOR, CHARACTER AND SPECTATOR: ROLE OF WOMEN / FEMALE CHARACTER: LOKADHARMI AND NATYADHARMI: CHAPTER: 3 Page 169 of 211 PURVARANGA: ∗ BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF “PURVARANGA” – THE PRELIMINARIES DONE IN KUTIYATTAM: • In Chapter No. – 5 Bharata described – “Purvaranga” of Play Productions.
