[sangeethasabha]

Thanks for the links.

This particular programme is telecast by DD malayalam 4(satellite) channel.You shoul have a DD-DTH connection or advise your cable operator to relay this channel for you.

Incidentally, I do not own a TV at home, or have one at work place(I dont use a Mobile phone too).So much for my knowledge of TV. DD's website as you have noted is least helpful.The above programme is not listed properly even in the press-release of DD-Trivandrum , the 9pm slot is listed as DD@kampus in the newspapers.

[nigamaa]

what a pity, if this is a regular programme
there should be more information on it?
I will mail to
[email protected]
for clearification and post here

grenzenlos - das TV Magazin der Steyler Missionare (5)
Und das Wort ward Tanz
Magazin

In Indien ist eine Tradierung des Glaubens ohne Tanz nicht denkbar. Selbst die Götter kommen nach hinduistischer Vorstellung als Tänzer auf die Erde. Unter den Christen Indiens hingegen war der Tanz lange Zeit verpönt. Erst als auch Missionare damit begannen, sich mit der Tanztradition des Landes intensiv zu beschäftigen, erkannten sie, dass eine fruchtbare Verkündigung den kultischen Tanz nicht ausklammern darf. So entstanden auch unter den Christen Tanzgruppen, die sich der Körpersprache bedienen, um biblische Inhalte zu vermitteln. „Grenzenlos“ besucht das Tanzensemble des Steyler Paters Charles Vas in Bombay und gibt einen Einblick in die faszinierende Arbeit der jungen Künstler.

What is the function of BN at Vedic wedding ceremony?

The same as that of CM in a vedic (or otherwise) wedding! Absolutely nothing, except as a means of entertaining the guests, who would rather talk amongst themselves and have no wish to be formally 'entertained', or even if they say they do, have no intention of behaving appropriately to respect the art or the artist!

However a question disturbes my mind, what do Rasikas think could haave been the Rasa when Enki dances with His consort Nin Sikilla, the Dance of Bliss, see below for whole story

Namazvar’s Tiruvaymozi 2-6-8

Evolving Towards Supreme Bliss and the Garuda

It is the essence of all living creatures that they seek out happiness and avoid pains. Even in the religious life this has been the case. Men right from very ancient times worshipped the gods to be happy and avoid miseries and disasters that bring about sufferings. The hope for an end state of endless joys was understood as being the Paradise as was the case even among the SumeroTamils even in the Third Millennium BC and even earlier. Tilmun, the Paradise was understood as a place when Enki dances with His consort Nin Sikilla, the Dance of Bliss and where there are no diseases violence miseries unhappiness and so forth.

Now in this profound verse where the theme is quite common to the whole of Sacred Tamil literature, it is elaborated with the EVOLUTION of the souls where they are seen to be thrown into countless number of biological births and deaths but where there is evolution into higher forms and where as human beings they finally attain being present ast the FEET of BEING and which is in fact the very ancient Paradise.

Now unlike the Darwinian notion of evolution through adaptation to the environment, here we have a Theory of Evolution due to Divine Action.. There is an inward pull of BEING which makes all souls aspire to ascend and enter the Paradise by freeing themselves of the Malam and other dirt that come along and which makes the soul ignorant and evil. These are the various impedances towards the evolutionary ascendance of the souls and which are seen as the Asuras here and in the language of myths.

Now in the same language of myths it is seen that BEING as Tirumaal mounts on the Gatuda and battling fiercely singes to ashes these evil Asuras so that the souls are freed of the various polluting agents/

But why Garuda here?

Garuda is the foe of the SANKE, the kuNdaloni sakti that exists as sexual libido and ties the souls to physical embodiments and hence to Samsara, endless births and deaths. As long as the sexual libido remains untransformed into selfless love unto all, existential repetitions will continue. Tirumaal wages a battle mounted on Garuda on the various expressions of the sexual libido so that the souls are made to EVOLBE and become pure and wholly LOVE just like BEING Himself and which earns for the soul birthless and deathless existence in the Paradise and at the feet of BEING Himself

Since such an evolutionary journey cannot be sustained without the fgace of BEING, Namazvar loathes to dislodge BEING from his own soul. He pleads against the possible departure.

maaEi maaRi pala piRappum piRantu adiyai adaintu

Meaning:

My Lord! In the long evolutionary journey I have assumed countless number births where the later is different from the former and thus many different kinds of births. Finally have evolv4ed and with evolutionary development have attained Your Feet where I also have drowned myself in the great flood waters of endless bliss! Thus has been made possible only because You mounted on the fierce Garuda and have attacked the various Asura clans and singed them to ashes so that there were no impediments on the way. On my Lord! Be kind to me and do n ot dislodge Yourself from my soul so that I can continue to enjoy this supreme bliss!
