Sinossi

Navarasa The Colors of Life is a carefully curated collection of 21 unique poems designed to explore and expand upon the framework of the nine human emotions known as rasas: Shringara (love), Veera (valor), Karuna (compassion), Adbhuta (amazement), Hasya (humor), Bhayanaka (fear), Bibhatsa (disgust), Raudra (anger), and Shanta (peace).

This book sets itself apart from other collections as it also provides an analysis of the poetry. In addition to being a collection of poems, this book goes a step beyond and treats each poem as a creative case study of the human experience. Every poem is crafted as a moral guide, exploring deep emotions to provoke reader introspection that lingers far beyond the end of the poem. After the poems are presented, each is deconstructed in depth using the classical Indian rasa theory that is rooted in the Natya Shastra - a treatise on the arts by Bharata Muni.

This book is ideal for lovers of poetry and scholars of Indian aesthetics alike as it illuminates how ancient dramatic theory applies to the modern world.
