Dissertation Advisor: Parimal G. Patil Benjamin Luke Williams ABHINAVAGUPTA’S PORTRAIT OF GURU: REVELATION AND RELIGIOUS AUTHORITY IN KASHMIR ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to recover a model of religious authority that placed great importance upon individual gurus who were seen to be indispensable to the process of revelation. This person-centered style of religious authority is implicit in the teachings and identity of the scriptural sources of the Kulam!rga, a complex of traditions that developed out of more esoteric branches of tantric "aivism. For convenience sake, we name this model of religious authority a “Kaula idiom.” The Kaula idiom is contrasted with a highly influential notion of revelation as eternal and authorless, advanced by orthodox interpreters of the Veda, and other Indian traditions that invested the words of sages and seers with great authority.

    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian

    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm. Tal literally means "clap".

    1 z SRUTI August 2011 south indian classical music and dance magazine Issue 1 October 1983 Welcome to the brand new pages of SRUTI. In the tradition of a sutradhara, I have the pleasant task of telling you what lies in store for you. The lead group of articles on the phenomenon of Mandolin Srinivas shows that ours is a new kind of magazine. Not only do we bring you a fact-filled report on the musical prodigy (Are of Triumph: A Prodigy at Play, p.3) but we place his advent and achievement in perspective through three related articles: What Makes or Unmakes a Prodigy (p.4): The Twain Meet Again (p.7) and A Sextet of Sensations (p.12). Rounding out this lead group is a column by guest writer K.S. Mahadevan (p. 1 1) and a critique of Srinivas as a musician which appears elsewhere (p.42). In this inaugural issue, we also offer the first in a series of in-depth profiles of personalities of the world of South Indian classical music and dance – profiles of a kind you would not have encountered in any other magazine in India. The profile of D.K. Pattammal, under the caption Trailblazing Traditionalist (p.20) will be concluded in the November issue. Along with the profile . we offer this time a critical appreciation written by Contributing Editor K.S. Muthu- raman (p.36) and also an interview with Pattammal by another singer, Sita Rajan (On Pallavi Singing, p.38). Other music-related items are critiques with the unique SRUTI angle.
