Indian Poetics


# Indian poetics :Prof. Vinod Joshi's expert lectures:

Hello Readers ! 


   Recently, on 3rd December to 9th , famous Gujarati poet or prof. vinod Joshi's expert lectures on Indian Poetic organized at our Department of English,it's a time of very fruitful and interesting for us.

    Indian criticism is different from Western criticism because Western criticism emphasis on function & result while Indian criticism emphasis on process. 

   Before he discuss on Indian poetic he gave some basic (rooted) information on Language, How it's work on human mind and it's a tool , through which we can express our emotions and feeling, and also going on some background information on imagination as well. 


  In Indian literature there are many mimansak (criticis) like Bharatmuni, Abhinavgupta, Vaman, Jagannath, etc all are well contributer in Indian poetics as well. 
                  "Natyashashtra" Grantha by Bharatmuni and it's tradition considers the Natyashashtra as an additional veda, so important has it been in the history of Indian Literary thought. The Natyashashtra is a compendium of performed arts:drama, music, dance. Bharata has been the maker of  the rasa theory.

   The eight rhetorical sentiments (Rasas) recognised in drama and dramatic representation are named as follows:the Erotic, comic, Pathetic, furious, Heroic, Terrible, Odious, Marvellous. 

       The abiding mental conditions(Sthayibhava) are mentioned as follows : Love, laugher, sorrow, anger, energy, fear, disgust and astonishment. 



  The four styles in which dramatic representation, is established are: Bharatiyon Or verbal; sattvati or Grand, Kaisiki or Graceful; and Arabhati or Energetic. The success of dramatic representation is twofold:heavenly and human. 


The rhetorical sentiments, No literary import can ever proceed without rhetorical sentiment and aesthetic relish. Now, Rasas arise from a proper combination of the stimulants (vibhaag), the physical consequents (anubhava), and the transient emotional states ( Vyabhicari bhava).
