RASA THEORY
Keywords:
Rasa, Bhava, Emotions, Sentiments, PleasureAbstract
Bharata Muni(200B.C), the Indian performance theorist and philosopher, is credited with the formulation of the ultimate text of performing arts as well the rasa theory and is aptly celebrated as the father of Indian performative arts. Bharata(trans.1995) in Natyasastra has strongly argued that the ultimate sensation depends upon the emotion felt by the human beings.Bharatamuni believes that the dramatic form of aesthetic experience is the most perfect fruition of aesthetic activity because drama is the synthesis of all arts.
According to Abhinav Gupta (one of the famous critics of Natyashastra), Rasa is the simplest and most we bewildering expression in the Sanskrit language. Anyone can experience it but cannot define it precisely.
