As modern India’s National Channel, Doordarshan holds a unique collection of archival material on India’s exquisite and classic performing arts that have survived, without ‘formal documentation’, as understood by the transcribing tradition of western societies.

Today, Doordarshan Channels – DD-National, DD-Bharati, DD-News, DD-Sports, DD-India, DD-Urdu and regional channels – substantially cover and present the millennia-old heritage of India.

Many genres of music, dance and theatre in India, now termed ‘classical’, have flourished along with folk forms in contemporary milieu, in a fascinating blend of continuity and evolution, for over 2,500 years.

The Centenary of recorded music in India (1902-2002) was celebrated by Doordarshan with the release of first set of seven VCDs and ACDs in January 2003.

Now, there are 156 titles available and many more are in the offing – the cherished performance-highs of a great nation with a glorious heritage.

Doordarshan Archives has taken up the task of digitization of all its content, collected and preserved in its libraries across the country. It is a fabulous visual history of the last five decades, as the Public Service Broadcaster has left almost no aspect of life in the country untouched.

This Media Asset, a great treasure, is being converted into virtual archives through a high-end Media Asset Management (MAM) solution which will preserve this treasure for posterity and also ensure its easy retrieval.

Repurposing the content for dissemination on various digital platforms like webcasting, interactive video on demand, podcasting, DVD customisation etc. offers a new dimension to mainstream media. These initiatives will be fully supported by Media Asset Management.

The aim is to make these cultural heirlooms of our Masters accessible to votaries of culture in a user friendly manner.

Wishing you happy viewing of Doordarshan’s Treasure Trove.

Lalgudi Srimathi BrahmanandamViolin Maestro DVD-Rs.395/-(Total Duration : 1 hr 16 mts)

Srimathi Brahmanandam is an exponent of the Lalgudi School of music. Though known for her mastery over violin. She traces her musical lineage to her great grandfather, Lalgudi Ramayyar, a direct disciple of Sri Thyagaraja, the musically inclined 18th century Saint and Mystic and one of the Trinities of Carnatic music. She was first trained by her father, Shri Gopala Iyer. Shri Gopala Iyer was a sort of musical all rounder and a capable teacher - he could teach vocal, veena, violin and mridangam and encouraged his students to “create and compose and learn” music all the time. Later, when his little sister was ready for the stage, the much older Padma Vibhushan Lalgudi. G. Jayaraman alias Lalgudi, who had himself received training from his only teacher, his father, Shri Gopala Iyer, took over Srimathi’s training.

The third jugalbandi in this album is more of a “happening” or “encounter”.

The vigour of Punjab’s dargah-mela folkways in the robust voices of the Wadali Brothers and others singing popular verses by Punjab’s best-loved mystics (Baba Bulle Shah, Baba Farid).

In the Sufi poetry of India, the female note is dominant. The poet views himself as a woman who yearns for her lover and is so lost in her love for him that she gives up her own identity and becomes one with the lover. Generally, a woman waits for the lover to lift her veil, but in the spiritual realm, the woman herself lifts her veil to have a glimpse of the lover; Love in Sufism is exalted to the spiritual realm.

Kathak DVD-Rs.395/-

Evolution of Hindustani classical music has had a deep impact on the form of Kathak as we see it today. Inspired by the gentle blossoming of the raga in Khayal singing, the Kathak dancer develops the poetry of the tala in pure dance or nritta. The creative senses are gently awakened by the orbit of the tala, played as a musical refrain on the Sarangi. The dancing body responds with delicate micro-movements of the eyes, the eyebrows, the wrist, the torso and finally the entire being.

Tum Chandan Hum Pani(Total Duration : 1hr)

DVD-Rs.395/-, VCD-Rs.295/- & ACD-Rs.195/-Born in the village of Mandur near Varanasi, Ravidas imbibed the spirit of devotion to God from his parents as well as the holy precincts of Varanasi. The subtle influences, he absorbed in this atmosphere, constituted his education. When he was 18, he became devotee to Lord Ram. Initially, Ravidas could not keep his attention on his profession of shoemaking. Whatever he earned, he would spend in the service of ascetics and those whose life was consecrated to God. For Ravidas, one’s work is the path to realisation God. “Honest work is my religion. It will always enable me to cross the ocean of the world”, he sings. Some events from his life have been choreographed as a dance drama presentation. This is based on Kathak style.Choreographed by Ravi Jain

Bharatanjali (Total Duration : 03 hrs 36 mts)DVD-Rs.395/-Presented by Sudharani Raghupathy (1944)

EPISODES 1&2Dancer and teacher, Sudharani Raghupathy, begins her story of Bharatanatyam with a quotation from the Natyasastra “Dharmyam yashasyam ayushyam….” The Guru with the Tattukazhi (wooden plank and stick with which he strikes to mark rhythm) conducts classes. Sudharani explains how the young child begins his/her initiation with a long cloth tied tight and snug round the waist. This is a must to ensure a proper posture and straight back as any stooping or awkward bending down will create discomfort with the waist in secure.Sudharani mentions Koottanool by Saattanaar, assigned approximately to the 14th century Muktavali by Mahabharata, Choodamani and Sangeeta Saramrita as the old treatises that give details about Bharatanatyam.

EPISODES 3&4Continuing with the demonstration and explanations for the ‘Margam’ or concert format prescribed in Bharatanatyam, about 200 years ago by the Tanjore Quartette-Chinnayya, Ponnaiyya, Sivanandam and Vadivelu, who were the court nattuvanars during the reign of Sarfoji and Swati Tirunal, Sudharani Raghupathy points out that while the sequence and designing of the format was by the four brothers, the items had been in existence much earlier. Smita Magul Karpur demonstrates eye and head movements and Priya Mahadevan, the hand gestures, both single and double, with Sudha demonstrating the gestures that denote various ideas and images.

EPISODES 5&6Sudharani Raghupathy, in this episode, focuses on the abhinaya or communicative aspect of the dance form . Kshetrayya, Muttutandavar, Ghanam Krishnaiyyer, and several composers have composed Padams and Javalis and Sudharani Raghupathy sings snatches of different Padams and Javalis in different moods with a glimpse of its interpretation.

The episode features Kamalambal, perhaps the last known devadasi attached to the Tanjore Brihadeeshwara Temple who interprets a song through expressions, in the seated position.

EPISODES 7&8Sudharani Raghupathy goes to the theme of the Karana without which no discussion on classical dance can be complete. She uses the services of colleague Padma Subrahmanyam, an authority on the Karana, to deal with this subject. The fourth chapter of the Natyasastra, the earliest encyclopaedic treatise on Natya, deals solely with the Karana which, as Sudharani introduces, is profusely illustrated in sculptured temple panels, freezing in stone one moment of a movement. There are some highly acrobatic Karanas, a demonstration of which is given by dancer Swarnamukhi, who has mastered these difficult Karanas, like Lalata-tilakam, Vrischikam, Vidyut-Bhrantam, Bhujanga-trasitam etc. from her teacher, Sri Sampati Bhoopati. Taken from the Balarama-Bharatam, these Karanas are used decoratively and meaningfully. As Padma maintains, she would define the Karana as “Atmakaya samayogaha, Nrityahasta Karanam Bhavet.,” I.e., combining the inner and the outer dancer.Sudharani draws attention to the figure of Nataraja, the God of Dance, who as teacher (Dakshinamoorthi), mendicant (Bhikshatanar), one striking awesome terror (Bhairavar) combines many roles, and integrated in him, are all the polarities of life. He also incorporates within him the Energy of the ‘Five Elements’, symbolizing the Universe in rhythm. And what better example of this rhythmic ecstasy can Bharatanatyam have, than its abstraction in the joyous Tillana where the rhythmic syllable transcending the musical word and note, spell ‘Ananda’ or ecstasy. Describing various aspects of the Tillana, Sudharani concludes by presenting Chitra Viswesvaran, rendering a Tillana in the ragam Revati, a composition of Madurai N. Krishnan. Chitra has her husband Visweswaran and Madurai Sethuraman, providing vocal support.

Bharatiya Natyashastra (Total Duration : 06 hrs 02 mts)

DVD-Rs.695/-

Presented by Dr Padma Subramaniam (1943)A concise introduction to Bharata’s Natyashastra, the oldest treatise on performing arts, this 13-episode series is a valuable set for dance students, teachers and performers. This has been directed by dance scholar, Dr Padma Subramaniam.

Episode 1Introduction and Purvaranga‘’Bharatyam Ardhyam Yashastham’’goes the verse from the Natyasastra, as the scene opens to a view of the majestic Himalayas , the Sahasradhara and the backwaters of Kerala, with the flute music playing Raga Pahadi.

Episode 2Angikaabhinaya : Anga, Sthaana & AdavuPadma, in this episode, further substantiates how art traditions in India, selectively emulate the Margi principles, spelt out in this text, even while preserving regional identities.

Episode 3Angikabhinaya : Saka, Cari & Nrtta KaranaDr Padma Subramaniam continues on this fascinating journey of the Natyasastra’s in-depth concern with the body as a means of communication.

Episode 4Angikabhinaya Ntitta-karanaAll along Padma Subramaniam through cross references, stresses on the Natyasastra’s enormous unifying influence, its application, cutting across different art disciplines while integrating various regions of India and even South-east Asia.

Episode 5Angikabhinaya Nritta-karanaPadma Subramaniam has shown us how these separated movements can be integrated in an entire unit of movement involving the whole body divided into the angas.

Episode 6Nritta-karana Saushtava, Recaka & Satva

Revealing awareness of the gap between theory and practice, Bharata’s Natyasastra provided space for individual creativity.

Episode 7Angahaaras and PindiThe vocabulary of percussion syllables or mnemonics for these Angahaaras–Sthirahastakam, Pariyastakam and Sucividham, sound quite different from what one finds in the Desi traditions.

Episode 8Abhinaya : Padartha, Vakyartha, Vacika, Mukhaja & AharyaPadma centres on the visual interpretation of literature, which provides thematic fodder for dance, based on a word by word expression, as ‘padaartha abhinaya’ or reflecting the essence of a whole sentence as ‘vaakyaartha abhinaya’.

Episode 9Aharya & Satvika Abhinaya, DharmiPadma reveals her intense faith in indigenous sources like the Puranas, an information treasure unfortunately treated as myth, providing premises for reconstructing India’s “history, history of geography and history of ethnology”.

Episode 10Bhava and RasaThe mind/body togetherness which the Natyashastra embodies is best experienced in its theory of rasa, the central motif for all Indian classical art.

Episode 11Vrtti & PravrttiThe beauty of the Natyashastra’s inclusiveness, as Padma explains to students, lies in its respect for, and acceptance of, stylistic differences pertaining to thought, word and action called vrittis, which act as counterpoints in a polyphonic oneness.

Episode 12Dasa RupaBharata identifies “Dasarupas” or ten forms of presentation, containing all or chosen vrittis and rasas in varying combinations. Embodying all vrittis and rasas, the topmost category is Nataka concluding on a wondrous note, based on the epics and Puranas.

Natyopasana (Total Duration : 05 hrs 15 mts)

DVD-Rs.695/-

Presented by Leela Venkataraman (1932 - 1994)Indian performing arts have a strong spiritual base. Smt. S. Sarada of Kalakshestra explores this important aspect of Bharatanatyam in this 13-episode series. Each aspect has been extensively illustrated through appropriate dance segments.

Episode 1The single great motif in art of all times, embodying the philosophy of truth, goodness and beauty is the dancing Nataraja, a metaphor for eternal cosmic movement, the Universe being the theatre for the dance, with the sun and the moon serving as Nataraja’s ornaments.

Episode 2In this episode focused on how movement geometry, mnemonic syllables, rhythm and music, are all engaged in a spiritual quest for the ultimate state of Being.

Episode 3In this episode, Sarada pinpoints thematic concerns of dance with a discussion on the Ashta Nayikas or eight situations of a heroine in love, a common theme in all Indian classical arts.

Episode 4S.Sarada in this episode, highlights the Abhisarika - the nayika who secretly sets off on her own for a tryst with the beloved. This situation involves both nayika and nayaka, who embark, under the cover of darkness generally.

Episode 5S. Sarada, explains, how in the Padam “Valaro mova Gopala minnu dalachi” the sakhi admonishes the Nayika for being so small and walking away from the Lord without recognising that his all -pervading consciousness feels all her joys and pain.

Episode 6The episode on rasa is linked to pure metaphysics. S. Sarada begins by explaining the recited hymn from the Taitireeya Upanishad describing the limitless nature of Nirguna Brahman or pure spirit . This episode explores sringar, hasya and veera rasas.

Episode 7

The story of aesthetic joy and fulfilment continues with ‘adbhuta’ rasa or the state of wonderment, raudra rasa and karuna or compassion. Themes are drawn from the scriptures and myths.

Episode 8In the final episode dealing with rasa(s), Sarada gives viewers a peep into other three moods, starting with the mood of ‘bibhatsam’ or that which evokes the response of disgust to something found odious. This continues with bhayanakam or fear and ends with shantam or tranquility.

Episode 9S.Sarada explains how each finger symbolises specific cosmic element and energies. The thumb representing the Earth is related to our physical body or Annamaya Kosha, controlling the force of enlightenment and subtle forces principle of our life.

Episode 10S. Sarada’s informative lessons on the gestural vocabulary of Bharatanatyam opens one’s eyes to the integrated nature of this classical art form and several other disciplines.

Episode 11S.Sarada now shifts the focus on to certain deities, frequently treated in dance themes. The elephant-headed Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, is always evoked at the start of the recital, auguring an auspicious beginning.

Episode 12In this episode, Sarada discusses different categories of Daruvus and their usage, with demonstrations providing us examples from Kalakshetra productions.

Episode 13S. Sarada, now focuses on aspects which pertain to pre- performance preparations.

India has been called ‘The Golden Sparrow’ (denoting prosperity) and ‘Land of Spirituality’ (denoting wisdom of our traditions), embodying how materialism and spirituality can co-exist. We have given some of the most ancient texts to the world. India has also had the good fortune of being the birth place of many religions, religious leaders, spiritual traditions and value systems. We have had robust community support; joint family; family ties; value systems like respect for elders, teachers and environment heritage of meditative/yogic life styles and wisdom of folklore and scriptures to deal with internal strife and external stress. These have also helped generations over a period of time to cope with problems of

living and maintain ‘Mental Well-being’. Yet, sometimes, what one has in abundance, is taken for granted.
