While many people outside India find the images, sounds, and
practices of Indian performing arts compelling and endeavor to
incorporate them into the "global" repertoire, few are aware of the
central role of religious belief and practice in Indian aesthetics.
Completing the trilogy that includes Darsan: Seeing the Divine and
Mantra: Hearing the Divine in India and America, this volume
focuses on how rasa has been applied in a range of Indian
performance traditions."Rasa" is taste, essence, flavor. How is it
possible that a word used to describe a delicious masala can also
be used to critique a Bharata Natyam performance? Rasa expresses
the primary goals of performing arts in India in all the major
literary, philosophical, and aesthetic texts, and it provides the
cornerstone of the oral traditions of transmission. It is also
essential to the study and production of sculpture, architecture,
and painting. Yet its primary referent is cuisine. This book
articulates the religious sensibility underlying the traditional
performing arts as well as other applications of rasa and examines
the relationships between the arts and religion in India today.
