Hardcover. Zustand: New. This book is the result of 7,000 kilometres of travel through North India and five years of untiring field work, investigation and research. The mission was to understand the existence of Kathak villages and what Kathak and 'Kathak Lok' represented. Going from village to village, seeing Kathak-s dance in temples, meeting Maharajas, dancers, scholars and swamis, the authors peeled layer upon layer of history. Bit by bit facts revealed themselves, slowly lifting the curtain to a clear and accurate picture. The authors unearth little-known facts of pre-Christian era roots of Kathak and its role in propagating and preserving dharma, over the centuries, which continues as a living tradition today. This book will shatter many popular perceptionssuch as the Mughal origins of Kathak or the belief that Kathak is the dance of the courtesans.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Dance and Yoga are the two sides of the same coin. United in their origins, while dispersing and expressing energy, both are wholesome practices for the body and mind. Lord Shiva, the Lord of Dance, also considered to be the Supreme Yogi in Indian culture, is known as the first Guru or the Adi Guru as well as the Adi Yogi. His realization has resulted in ecstatic dances which had bouts of stillness, reminiscent of yoga, along with hectic movements, that have seen manifestations in many Indian classical dances. This humble effort of highlighting the commonalities between Indian classical dance and yoga comes from decades of experience of a classical dancer and a yoga enthusiast. This book endeavours to search and examine the asanas and mudras that are practiced in these pursuits. Like a prism that separates the light passing through into different colours, so has been the effort of analyzing the postures and hand movements frequently utilized in Indian classical dance. These are especially seen through Patanjali s ashtanga yoga (the eight fold path of Yoga). This maiden joint exercise seeks to share the appreciation of such aspects of these two integral pursuits of Indian life. It is only recently that art and science are emerging as disciplines independent of the divine. Dance and Yoga however continue to have strong spiritual association.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The history of civilizations is full of myths. Apart from the obvious tangible heritage there is a vast amount of intangible heritage in world history. "A culture keeps its tangible heritage in things like buildings, art, craft and other artifacts. It keeps its intangible heritage in mythologies and art such as literature, music, dance, and rituals. The mythology of a nation doesn't emerge from the history of the nation; instead, by means of the mythology of the nation, the history of the nation is composed." While the history of the nation settles in its books, its myths, art and culture live through the people.…
