Background of Indian Cultural Base
“Rasa” – The concept of Indian aesthetic flavour, an essential element of any work of visual, literary, or performing art that can only be suggested, not described. It is a kind of contemplative abstraction in which the inwardness of human feelings merges with the surrounding world.
The theory of rasa is attributed to Bharata, a sage-priest who may have lived sometime between the 1st century BC and the 3rd century BC. It was developed by the philosopher Abhinavagupta (BC 1000), who applied it to all varieties of theatre and poetry. The principal human feelings, according to Bharata, are delight, laughter, sorrow, anger, energy, fear, disgust, heroism, and astonishment, all of which may be recast in contemplative form as the various rasas: erotic, comic, pathetic, furious, heroic, terrible, odious, marvellous, and quietistic. These rasas comprise the components of aesthetic experience. The power to taste rasa is a reward for merit in some previous existence.
Traditional Indian aesthetics is primarily concerned with three arts—poetry, music, and architecture—however, sculpture and painting are also studied under aesthetic theories. Poetry is the highest form of literature. Indian art is the art of sign and symbols.
One cannot but salute Bharata who is the father of Indian aesthetics. It is imperative because when one goes through the arts, a certain point strikes you. The sage nurtured this concept and it evolved during his life time. It influences society, culture and art. He didn’t add more rasas to Natyashastra enlarged its scope and influence over society, culture and art.
