Abhinavagupta (Kashmiri: अभिनवगुप्त) (approx. 950 - 1020 AD[1][2]) was one of India's greatest philosophers, mystics and aestheticians. He was also considered an important musician, poet, dramatist, exeget, theologian, and logician[3][4] - a polymathic personality who exercised strong influences on Indian culture.[5][6]
Abhinavabharati is a commentary on ancient Indian author Bharata Muni's work of dramatic theory, the Natyasastra. It is the only old commentary available on this work. The Abhinavabharati was written by Abhinavagupta (ca.950-1020), the great Kashmiri Saivite spiritual leader and a yogi.
Anandavardhana (820-890) was the author of Dhvanyaloka, the philosophy of "aesthetic suggestion". The philosopher Abhinavagupta wrote an important commentary on it.
Traditionally, an ashram (Sanskrit/Hindi: आश्रम) is a religious hermitage. Additionally, today the term ashram often denotes a locus of Indian cultural activity such as yoga, music study or religious instruction, the moral equivalent of a studio or dojo.The Bhagavad Gita (Sanskrit भगवद्गीता, Bhagavad Gītā, "Song of God") is one of the most important Hindu scriptures. It is revered as a sacred scripture of Hinduism,[1][2] and considered as one of the most important philosophical classics of the world.[3] The Bhagavad Gita comprises 700 verses, and is a part of the Mahabharata. The teacher of the Bhagavad Gita is Krishna, Who is revered by Hindus as a manifestation of the Lord Himself,[3] and is referred to within as Bhagavan—the Divine One.[4] The Bhagavad Gita is commonly referred to as the Gita for short.
Bhairava (Sanskrit: भैरव, "Terrible" or "Frightful" Tamil: பைரவன், வயிரவன்),[1]), sometimes known as Bhairo or Bhairon or Bhairadya, is the fierce manifestation of Shiva associated with annihilation.[2] He is one of the most important deities of Nepal, sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike.Bharata was an ancient Indian musicologist who authored the Natya Shastra, a theoretical treatise on ancient Indian dramaturgy and histrionics, dated to between roughly 400 BC and 200 BC. Indian dance and music find their root in the Natyashastra. Besides propounding the theory of three types of acting Bharata has discussed in detail classical Indian vocal \ instrumental music and dance since they are integral to Sanskrit drama. The classical dance form Bharata Natyam is codified in the Natya Shastra. Bharata classified Sanskrit theatrical forms (Natya\Rupaka) into ten types; what is known to the west as drama is but one among these, namely, Nataka.Exegesis (from the Greek ἐξηγεῖσθαι 'to lead out') is a critical explanation or interpretation of a text, especially a religious text. Traditionally the term was used primarily for exegesis of the Bible, however in contemporary usage it has broadened to mean a critical explanation of any text and the term Biblical exegesis is used for greater specificity. The goal of Biblical exegesis is to explore the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance.
