Today i want to introduce you all to Navaragamalika.
Navaragamalika is a Carnatic Raga which is a composition of 9 ragas.
Navaragamalika is meant to project Navarasa - the 9 emotions.
There are 7 energy centers in our body.
Emotions will help us EXPRESS our ENERGY to the world in 9 WAYS (NAVARASA).
Navarasa (the 9 emotions) as explained in Natya Veda – covers all emotional expressions of the world.
EMOTIONS ARE ENERGY IN MOTION.
However emotions alone cannot give you BLISS. There must be LIGHT.
E = Your Energy.
M = Mass = Matter that represents Material.
C^2 = LIGHT * LIGHT.
LIGHT = CONSCIOUSNESS.
The more the LIGHT ; Higher is the BLISS.
BLISS is called ANANDA in Vedic Scriptures.

Today most of the people want to settle down with 3 kinds of emotions and escape from the rest of the emotions.
The 3 emotions people want to settle down with :
SRNGARA - LOVE AND ROMANCE
SHANT - PEACE
HASYA - HAPPINESS
Each and every emotion in its individual state is capable of taking mankind to the state of TRANSCENDENCE !
However ; The problem is that people while experiencing any emotion are concentrating on the MATTER (M) alone and not LIGHT (C) (Consciousness).
Lets take the example of the most wanted emotion - srngara rasa (love and romance).
Indians in general have a high LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS - LIGHT.
For many Indians including me over a cup of coffee in about half an hour's time we can decide if the person who is with us can be a potential partner or not with 100% accuracy.
This is because of our HIGH LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS.
The PREDATORY RISK is low when you have a high level of C (Consciousness).
While Americans even after living with a person for 10 years are unable to judge and get any clarity about their partner. This is because they have low level of Consciousness. Interesting thing is that while they are living with one partner they date multiple other partners in parallel so that they get more OPTIONS to chose the BEST ! This is all suggestive of EARTHLY PLEASURES AND DESIRES.
ENERGY WITHOUT CONSCIOUSNESS (LIGHT) IS ONLY MATTER.
They then give it a name : MODERN ; FASHION ; BROAD MINDED !
The dog down my street is capable of choosing its partner much faster than the WEST ?
DO WE INDIANS REALLY WANT TO FOLLOW THIS PREDATORY CULTURE OF WEST ?
WHO IS OLD FASHIONED ? INDIA OR WEST ?
WHO IS OLD FASHIONED ? INDIA OR WEST ?
Most of you may find this topic DISGUSTING ? BIBHATSYA.
Some of you may find this topic DANGEROUS? BHAYANAKA.
Yet how many of you DESIRE TO BRING A CHANGE?
The new India believes that AMERICAN CULTURE IS FASHIONABLE.
It is our responsibility to contribute to COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS FOR THE UNIVERSAL GOOD. The problem lying at the SURFACE can be taken care of by LAW only to some extent because people with low level of consciousness will need time to EVOLVE AND REALIZE THEIR MISTAKE.
The purpose of our life must not be TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE'S EVOLUTION !
The purpose of our life must be TO PUSH MANKIND TOWARDS EVOLUTION !
And we do it by - RAISING THE COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS.
I urge you all to take the first step towards contributing to COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS not for MY SAKE but for the sake of your own SONS AND DAUGHTERS who can be encountered with PREDATORY RISK because of the LOW COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS.
Gitanjali Song 35 :
The clear stream of REASON has not LOST ITS WAY !
The VEDAS have explained the SRNGARA RASA as the FUSION OF CONSCIOUSNESS (Lord Shiva) AND ENERGY (Goddess Shakti). Consciousness is the CENTRE of NATYAVEDA and all 9 ENERGY WAVES (EMOTIONS) are derived from CONSCIOUSNESS.
No emotions are expressed in Natya Veda without Consciousness.
Navaragamalika is all about CONSCIOUS EXPRESSION OF 9 EMOTIONS.
Navaragamalika is the garland of 9 emotions that are OFFERED to Deities in many South Indian Temples.
