It's an way of life, a predominant way of life. Johan Von Herder has rightly remarked, The culture of a people is the blood of it's being. In other words it can be said that whatever a man thinks, feels, acts is the final product of culture. Whatever we are practising in our day to day life, its rhythm and tempo, its direction and momentum is directed by its own culture. Every society has its own culture which has centripetal force binding in each individual member. The tribal culture brooms in the isolated high lands and forest of India. It is called as Fourth World and is the most delicate culture in the world. Tribal life and culture of Orissa has a warmth and vitality. It has a range, complexity, grandeur, colourfulness which is perhaps unmatched by any other states in the country. Oriya society, religion and culture have been enriched through countries of cross fertilization between this culture and non-tribal culture which has created and nurtured the pertaining classical folk tribal continuum.

    PAPER 5 DANCE, POETS AND POETRY, RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY AND INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE MODULE 11 SAHITYA, KAVYA AND GEETA OF ODISSI All the fine arts are interdependent & to each other. Sometimes they are segregated to concentrate on their individual growth & enhance their richness. But they evolve collectively. Music, Drama, Dance & Literature are inseparable & interdependent. Most of the dance treatise classified dance in three categories: Natya, Nritta & Nritya. Nritta is the dance which is always embellished with ornamental had gestures & postures with supportive music without a song. Nritya is expressional dance and performed to convey the meaning of a theme through codified meaningful hand gestures (Mudra), suggestive facial expression (Bhava / भाव) & symbolic poses (Bhangi / भॊगी). Natya is predominated by the elements of drama such as dialogues or spoken words in addition to the Nritya & Nritta in it. Both Nritya / न्रित्य & Natya / ना絍य are dependent on Vachika / वाचिक & Aharya / आहायय Abhinaya / अभभनय and expresses itself through Angika / अॊचगका & Swatika Abhinaya / सात्त्वक अभभनय. The importance of Vachika abhinaya is understandably lot more than other three abhinayas. Words with proper punctuations & modulation reach the spectators in no time. Sometime even if they don’t see the characters they follow the story hearing, the dialogues only. It is said Vachika Abhinaya is the king & other abhinayas follow 1 it. The accompanying song (geeta / गीत) can be considered as Bachika Abhinaya in dance. Dance follows Vadya, But Vadya Follows Geeta.

  • Bhishma Panchaka
    Bhishma Panchaka THE LAST 5 DAYS OF THE MONTH OF KARTTIKA ARE TRADITIONALLY KNOWN AS THE BHISHMA PANCHAKA OR THE VISHNU PANCHAKA. Grandfather Bhisma fasted for these five days, preparing to give up his life. In the Hari BhaktiVilasa, it is said that if one is capable, one should observe fasting from certain foodstuffs on the Bhishma-panchaka for the pleasure of the Lord. This is optional. "The fast should begin by remembering Bhismadeva on the Ekadasi day and should end on Purnima [the full moon]. The Padma Purana says that one pleases the Lord and makes spiritual advancement by such austerities. P a g e 1 | 5 Hare krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Prepared by Karyalaya A five-day worship period prescribed for the last 5 days of Kartika (Damodara) Month and it is known as “Bhishma Panchaka”. Lord Krishna became very pleased on Bhishmadeva and He agreed to give His pure love to those fortunate souls who chant, sing, hear, read, worship and fast for these five days of Bhishma Panchaka. “The last five days of Kartika month are known as Bhisma Panchaka. Grandfather Bhishma fasted for these five days, preparing to give up his life. However one observes Kartika-vrata, he should intensify it for the last five days. The best way to observe the Kartika-vrata is to abstain from eating grains for the whole month, and to take only milk or water for the last five days. If one eats grains during the month, he should avoid them for the last five days.
