Jiwan Pani was born on 13 February 1933 in a Brahmin family from
Baripada in the Mayurbhanj district of Orissa. From his early years
he showed a keen interest in music, dance and theatre. His first
poem was published when he was only fourteen years old. Later his
lyrics began to be widely sung by the common man and were freely
adopted by film makers. His film on the Ravanachhaya, the shadow
puppet theatre of Orissa, and his video-films on the Mayurbhanj
Chhau have all been widely acclaimed and are expressions of his
master craftsmanship. There was no aspect of Indian art and
aesthetics that he was not familiar with. Back to the Roots is a
collection of Jiwan Panis articles which have been put together
themewise. This book reflects his wide-ranging interests: the cult
of Jagannatha, an individualistic and an in-depth study of the
Geetagovinda, the Oriya systems of music as the third school along
with Carnatic and Hindustani, his numerous scripts for
dance-dramas, tele-serials and films, his deep study and
understanding of Hindu and Buddhist systems of philosophy. These
articles only go to prove that Jiwan Pani was a leading scholar of
traditional Indian performing arts and Indian aesthetics. This
handsome volume with numerous photographs is a celebration of the
true vidwan that Jiwan Pani was.
