Dr R. Ganesh's scholarly opinion on the oft-discussed topic - Carnatic or Karnatak or Karnataka Music?

अधीतमध्यापितमार्जितं यशो
न शोचनीयं किमपीह भूतले ।
अतः परं श्रीभवनाथशर्मणो
मनो मनोहारिणि जाह्नवीतटे ॥
Khajuraho, Raneh Falls, Madkhera, Deogarh
It was time to head to Khajuraho (from Bheda Ghat).
चलितश्चकितश्छन्नः
प्रयाणे तव भूपते ।
सहस्रशीर्षा पुरुषः
सहस्राक्षः सहस्रपात् ॥
Kosambi finally gives his homemade add-salt-to-taste philosophy of how we should view ancient texts:
The following essay (which will be published in five parts) is taken from the introduction to the book Indian Conception of Values by Prof. M Hiriyanna (Mysore: Kavyalaya Publications, 1975).
बालोऽहं जगदानन्द
न मे बाला सरस्वती ।
अपूर्णे पञ्चमे वर्षे
वर्णयामि जगत्त्रयम् ॥
In one of my earlier articles – Happiness, Flow, and the Upanishads – I had discussed the meaning of happiness and how the concept of ‘flow’ closely aligns with the Upanishadic view on brahmananda (supreme bliss). The state of ‘flow’ or ‘getting into the zone’ can be defined as a state of temporary moksha.
