Download or read book Odissi and the Geeta Govinda written by Ileana Citaristi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book attempts to trace an overview of the different components that define the cultural landscape of the state of Odisha in relation to its history, religious cults, art, and literature and to link the development of the various aspects to the role played over the centuries by the Geeta Govinda poem in its different manifestations. From being an important component of the rituals performed in the Jagannath Temple to becoming an essential part of the people’s daily lives and artistic expressions, this immortal poem has exercised its influence on the cultural landscape of the state from its early inception in the twelfth century until present times. Religious beliefs, visual representations, performative expressions, and literary compositions have been influenced by the strong emotional appeal contained in its verses. Its musical structure, spiritual underline and histrionic content have been an essential font of inspiration in the process of the rediscovery of a cultural identity during the last century and continue to exercise a strong influence on the performing arts of the present times. Among all the art forms, the classical style of Odissi dance, the way it has been re-structured in the middle of the last century, is perhaps the one which bears the closest contact with the poem, almost being synonymous with it. The dance’s lyrical quality and its emotional appeal steeped in a long history of association with devotional and spiritual values make it an ideal form of visual expression for the literary content of the poem.
Download or read book Meditations on Sri Jayadeva s Gita Govinda written by Sudarshan R Iyengar and published by Giri Trading Agency Private Limited. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to explore the metaphorical aspect of the original work of Sri Jayadeva’s Gita Govinda. Gita Govinda is an overtly misunderstood epic love poem depicting intense emotional exchanges between Radha and Krishna mediated by Radha’s confidante - Sakhi. As one unravels the apparent emotions of love, elation, anxiety, depression, lack of trust etc. one sees hidden layers, revealing deeper spiritual processes in the life of a sincere seeker. The Meditations in this book are an attempt to present that esoteric journey of a sadhaka, his relationship with his Lord and the role of a Guru, as seen through the eyes of the epic work.
Download or read book Gita Govinda written by Jayadeva and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jayadeva’s Gitagovínda is a lyrical account of the illicit springtime love affair of Krishna and Radha, a god and goddess manifesting on earth as a cowherd and milkmaid for the sake of relishing the sweet miseries and rapturous delights of erotic love. The narrative framing their bucolic songs was composed under royal patronage in northeastern India in the twelfth century. It was to be performed for connoisseurs of poetry and the erotic arts, for aesthetes and voluptuaries who, while sensually engaged, were at the same time devoted to Krishna as Lord of the Universe. The text at once celebrates the vicissitudes of carnal love and the transports of religious devotion, merging and reconciling those realms of emotion and experience. Erotic and religious sensibilities serve, and are served by, the pleasures of poetry. In the centuries following its composition, the courtly text became a vastly popular inspirational hymnal. Jayadeva's songs continue to be sung throughout India in fervent devotional adoration of Krishna.

Book excerpt: Hare Krishna! In adoration of Sri Jagannath, the classic, world-famous chariot festival, the Navakalevara tradition, the significance of the Mahaprasad, the hectic daily rituals and Mahalaxmivratt are unique and wonderful. Why and how, you ask? The learned Brahmins and Vedic philosophers established Him as the source of all happiness and cause of liberation. Many argue this ancient culture and tradition has immense potential to bind the whole world. It is the ultimate devotional stream for the unstable and straying humankind of the present world. But who consecrated this most pious, most sacred parambrahma in this king of pilgrim centers? Why is Purushotamkshetra most endeared to Mahavishnu? Why is the Lord as well as the place called purushotam here? Where was He before this? Who was brought alive by this great tradition? How did it happen and from when has it being going on? Niladrisha answers these questions, and ends all the skepticism associated with it. It will push the reader into a world of devotional thoughts. “Namastuvyam,Namastuvyam Namastyuvyam Namoh Namah. Saranam twam propannowsmi Jagannath Namoshstute”
Download or read book Dance Matters written by Pallabi Chakravorty and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-21 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a multidisciplinary perspective on dance scholarship and practice as they have evolved in India and its diaspora, outlining how dance histories have been written and re-written, how aesthetic and pedagogical conventions have changed and are changing, and how politico-economic shifts have shaped Indian dance and its negotiation with modernity.. Written by eminent and emergent scholars and practitioners of Indian dance, the articles make dance a foundational socio-cultural and aesthetic phenomena that reflects and impacts upon various cultural intercourses -- from art and architecture to popular culture, and social justice issues. They also highlight the interplay of various frameworks: global, national, and local/indigenous for studying these diverse performance contexts, using dance as a critical lens to analyse current debates on nationalism, transnationalism, gender and sexuality, and postcolonial politics. At the performace level, some articles question the accepted divisions of Indian dance (‘classical’, ‘folk’, and ‘popular’) and critique the dominant values associated with classical dance forms. Finally, the book brings together both experiential and objective dimensions of bodily knowledge through dance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book: This book is author's first attempt to write in the darkest phase of bereavement when her guru suddenly passed away. She was not prepared for the loss and grieved endlessly. The lockdown kept her confined to home. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, she started to read books on life and philosophy extensively. Out of which she found solace in the teachings of the Bhagvadgita, OSHO philosophy and Rumi and Khalil poetry. She realized there is so much grief in the world and she was not the only one suffering. She started to heal slowly and got inspired to write about her own experiences while using appropriate quotes from my recent learning to emphasize my thoughts. “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.” About the Author: From being a young aspiring executive in the Corporate world to managing home, children and finances; two precious decades of live passed away in multi-tasking to build the future of Ramani Rao's family in the city of the pearls. With her children settled, she started to slow down and do things she had waited for long. Travelling was her top priority. By a twist of fate, she landed in the Tourism sector where a spiritual life awaited her, the seven years that passed in travel and transformation are the best years of her life.
