fools die''----is some novel  Basically why we die? we are fools we are ignorant of the science and art of life a day may come, some one discovers the fullest knowledge , exact science, to lead in swadharma, absolutely unviolating , fully in acc with all the laws of nature  Then there will not be any more deaths on earth, one learns to stay alive and kicking till he wishes himself to die till then  every one of us take a resolve not to be or become old, and do all the necessary sadhana inputs to be in the ways of nature as close as possible  Osho says, human child is the weakest of all species, if uncared dies this is due to wrong culturization versus needed tropicalization which other species undergo.  Why , man lives distancing away from nature eg no animal with footwear, umbrella, bedding, tooth brush, paste, cloths yet continues life animals swim without a learning.

  for bharath war has been a last alternative, mostly undesirable, since there are 4 ways to deal with situations,

ie saama daana bheda danda ,

chanakya is a famous strategist ,

ashoka saw the futility of war and became dejected and turned to higher vision of kindness and love,

a warier is great, wins thru physical means

intellectual is greater , intellectual wins thru his diplomacy and discussion,

but saint is greatest warier

saint wins thru love

bharath is rich with all kinds of gifted people

but currently , crime, corruption, misrule, selfishness, hunger for power, divide and rule, cheating, are the prevailing conditions , socialistic pattern has deteriorating into emergence of multi crore money stashes on one side,

and beggars, destitutes, poor, struggling for a meal on the other side

makes me to sigh, Wah Bharata Wah!,

with an anger equal to that of rudra"

"1 seen from a higher perspective, every living being is endowed with an instinct to challenge and fight and win over any obstacle to his unlimited expansion and growth , with all its might, maybe it is a insignificant ant, honey bee ,or a mighty elephant, or a human being or a community or organization or a nation

the fight is happening and continues, but the vigor and valor depends on the strength, physical, vocal, intellectual, spiritual,

and winning and losing inevitably happens , best survives.

so bharath is no exception, there are have been wars , there have been compromises, there have been success and failures

essentially bharath has been on the concept of vasudhaika kutumbakam, and also caring for all levels of life , with a wall less , boundary less existence, extending the friendliness and love accommodating all the diversities,

unfortunately the light of self realization was lost on the way, giving rise to all kinds of surface rituals, superstitions, vision of people falling on the trivialities of caste , wrong teachings, misconceptions etc, and resulting in divisive tendencies, thereby losing the strength and consequent subjugation

hence , for any individual or nation to rise to the glorious heights, the need is to get that light of self realization back, alive in the life so that the vision becomes clear to be able to accept all as own friends helping and enriching mutually

 

we share our points of view, which necessarily differing from one another' but that need not create a discord or disharmony let us accept all with open mind and get at the essence of the all messages

Natya The Essence of Hyndhava - Dharma

We find the instinct to dance in the savages as in the cultured. When dance transcends the physical, it becomes art giving pleasure to all. Dance is a sacred art cherished and preserved in our country for more than 2000 years. Dancing in India is not merely a spontaneous emotion or idea translated into movement but a long thought out and carefully fashioned ritual that needs concentrated study and constant effort.

Mythological Significance of Dance

The ideals of India through ages have retained a remarkable continuity clearly recognising between the concept of activity, the relationship between the concept of God & Man. The Upanishads quote "DEVAM BHUTVA DEVAM YAJET' - 'become a God to worship God'. This signifies the basic idea, to identify oneself with truth, before offering prayers to God. Various methods of attaining this sanctity have been propounded in the Vedas and Upanishads and the most sanctified way of worship is Sangitha.

Gitam Vadyam Tatha Nrityam Trayam Sangitam Uchyate

Dance or Nritya is the one in which all these aspects of creation are unified, that is Geetham-the sound, Vadyam-the rhythm or time and Nrittam-the movement. Brahma says, For the welfare of the generations to come I create the fifth veda. Therefore natya is the essence of all the vedas. The knowledge of the world from Rig Veda, music from Sama Veda, expression from Yajur Veda and rasa or enjoyment from Atharvana Veda. Bharata says, There is no wisdom nor knowledge, no art, no craft, no device or action that is not to be found in Natya and in ancient India, Natyam was a synonym for dance, drama and music.

The term BHA-RA-THA

The name Bharata Natyam is actually a general term for all Indian dances but has become synonymous with the South Indian dance which was previously known as Sadir/ Chinnamelam or Dasiattam. There are a few attributes to the Bha-ra-tha.

1. That the sage Bharatha created it.

2. That the word is the Anagram from the first letters of Bhava, Raga and Tala.

3. That which banishes distress. BHARAM TARAYATI ITI BHARATHA.

4. The dance of India or Bharata Desa.

The purpose of Dance

Apart from spirituality or spiritual quality of dance there is a definite purpose in dance. The purpose is to educate the illiterates, to enlighten the literate and entertain the enlightened ones. According to gradations of the mind, Uttama (the great one ), Madhyama (ordinary) and Adhama (the lesser one), Natya generates morality and an awareness of well being. It instructs and gives motivation to achieve perfection in every action. It relaxes the mind of sick persons, distressed ones, tired souls, bereaved family members and also the Tapaswi (sages) after their meditation. Natya gives dharmopadesa (the path of righteousness) to happy ones, instructs the way to praise the worthy and also to live long. Natya sharpens the mind, increases the intellect. As such Natya gives all things needed for the well being of the people.

Dance is also considered to be a Yagna (sacrifice). The effect of conducting a dance performance is shared by the audience, the sponsor and the dancer. It is said, any auspicious occasion like child birth, marriage, rituals, festivals and celebrations must either begin with a dance performance or conclude with it. It has the effect of performing a hundred yagnas.
