What is Rasa in Indian Classical Literature | Rasa & Bhava

In this video, we'll be talking about the term "Rasa" and its importance in Indian Classical Literature. Rasa refers to the emotional or subjective experience that a character undergoes in a drama, poem or story.
We'll be discussing the concept of Bhava, which is another term that refers to the emotional state of a character. We'll also be discussing the theory of Rasa in Natya Shastra, and how it plays a role in the aesthetic experience of a drama. So if you're interested in Indian Classical Literature, or want to learn more about the emotional experience that characters undergo in Indian dramas, then this is the video for you!

At 23:31 hasya rasa has been mistakenly connected with the color "green". It will be "white". Sringara rasa is green.

[@rajshreerathore5744]

Hello Mukherjee Ma'am, Thankyou for this insightful lecture on Bhava and Rasa. Are there more series in continuation of your lecture? As I am a classical dancer could you suggest some book on Natya Shastra ? Its also interesting to come across various perspectives on this theory of Rasa. One question- does Bharat Muni say that 'Natya Shastra' is a broad outline to the arts, is one free to experiment also? Thankyou for your time. Regards, Rajshree Rathore.

[@NibblePop]

Yes Bharat kept his definitions quite fluid. It can be adapted to modern interpretations

[@rajshreerathore5744]

Thankyou very much for replying .

[@riya.yadav17]

mam just a doubt! in the slide show, the colour mentioned for hasya rasa was green but when it was compiled into the tabular form , the coloue associated was white! So the colour associated with hasya rasa is white or green!

[@NibblePop]

I am so sorry Riya. It is an editing mistake. Hasya is associated with white. Erotic is green. But I forgot to change the word with the slide change. Sorry sorry. And it is wonderful of you to point it out. It shows how careful you are with details. Thank you so much. Once again, hasya = white.

[@riya.yadav17]

@@NibblePop thank you mam for clarifying! I completed my kalidasa with you! And now rasa theory as well! Will start with mrichchhkatika today ! Thank yous o much for the beautiful lectures and the beautiful digressions... I love when you move away with the textbook and makes us think of how should we question on our own! I am sorry to point out the mistake! Just that I was confused for what is the colour! Thank you so much mam for the insightful sessions! I hope it didn't hurt you when I pointed out the mistake ! 😅
