Description
The Eight Principal Rasas of the Hindus is a seminal work that delves into one of the most fundamental concepts in Hindu aesthetics and performing arts. Raja Sourindro Mohun Tagore provides detailed analysis of the eight principal rasas—emotional states that form the foundation of Indian classical arts, drama, and literature.
This comprehensive text combines theoretical discussions with practical illustrations through múrtti (sculptures or visual representations) and vrindaka (tableaux and dramatic pieces). These visual and performative elements serve to bring the abstract concepts of rasas to life, making the philosophical principles accessible and tangible. The work serves as both an academic resource for scholars of Indian aesthetics and a practical guide for artists and performers seeking to understand and embody these fundamental emotional states in their work.
Originally published by a respected scholar of Indian culture, this hardcover edition preserves the authentic teachings of classical Hindu rasa theory for contemporary readers interested in Eastern philosophy, classical arts, and spiritual aesthetics.
