RHYTHMS IN INDIAN KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS - PART 1
Rhythms play a significant role in various Indian knowledge systems, encompassing diverse fields such as music, dance, poetry, literature, spirituality, and even science. Indian classical music and dance traditions, such as Carnatic music, Hindustani music, Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Odissi, are deeply rooted in rhythmic structures. Rhythms are expressed through tala (rhythmic cycles) in music and through nritta (pure dance movements) in dance, with intricate patterns of beats and accents.
In Indian spiritual and philosophical traditions, rhythms are symbolic of cosmic order, harmony, and cyclical time. Practices such as chanting of mantras, recitation of prayers (stotras), and rhythmic breathing exercises (pranayama) are integral to spiritual disciplines and meditation techniques.
This module consists of experiential insights into the world of rhythms by Sangita Kalanidhi Prof Trichy Sankaran and Vid. Patri Satish Kumar.
