Navarasa- The Nine Moods _ Online Bharatanatyam.pdf

Homeindex Products About Me Forums Navarasa- The Nine Moods March 10th, 2008 by Anjali Learning Navarasa is an important session for a student of dance. Here the teacher explains about different facial expressions, how and when it is used. It is the most exciting session for the students to make funny faces. Imagine a mother busy in the kitchen and her child spills a bottle of oil on the floor. Guess what will be the feeling like. In my case it is surely going to be Raudra. And then followed by a Tandava. Coming back to my point, so What is Navarasa ? Rasa is about human state of mind. Its about what the mind feels and the expression of the feeling thereafter. In the Bharata’s Natyashastra, Rasa is an emotion experienced by the audience created by the facial expression or the Bhava of the actor. In indian classical dance it is referred to as Rasa-abhinaya. Mr V.P Dhananjayan in his book called “A Dancer on Dance” says Rasa means that which is being tasted or enjoyed. Hence the word Rasika is employed to denote connoisseurs. Now, the question might be asked whether Rasa comes from Bhava or Bhava from Rasa. Bhava means, that which becomes (bh00, bhav, i.e., to become), so Bhava becomes Rasa. But Rasa does not become Bhava. There is also this complementary effect on the dancer or actor. Every Rasa corresponds to a particular Bhava. The Natyshastra has carefully described the Bhavas used to create Rasa. The following table states the nine moods (Navarasa) and the corresponding Bhava. Every Rasa is identified with a specific colour for the use in performing arts. < RASA BHAVA MEANING COLOUR Pale Shringar(Erotic) Rati Delight Light Green Hasya Hasa Laughter White . Note how every muscle of the face is moved to express the emotion.Hasya Hasa Laughter White (Humorous) Karuna Shoka Sorrow Grey (Pathetic) Raudra Krodh Anger Red (Terrible) Pale Veera (Heroic) Utsaha Heroism Orange Bhayanaka Bhaya Fear Black (Fearful) Bibhatsa Jugupsa Disgust Blue (Odious) Adbhuta Vismaya Wonder Yellow (Wonderous) Shanta Calm Peace White (Peaceful) I would like to share a beautiful video on Navarasa by kalamandalam Shailaja.
