English - Indian art and culture, in any case are a joint creation of the dravadian and Aryan genius a welding together of symbolic and representative, abstract explicit language and thought. Already at Bharhut and Sanchi, 'The Aryan symbal is yielding to its environment and passing into decoration kushan art with the fact of imagery and its roots in bhakti is essentially Darvidian'. Already, however, the Indian shanti Figure at Bodhgaya shows Aryan affecting Dravidian models of expression, anticipating the essential of all latar 'Sativik Images'. Hindi - बुद्ध काल में मठों में संकीर्तन की तरह संगीत का प्रचलन प्रारम्भ हुआ। भगवान बुद्ध स्वयं एक उत्तम संगीतज्ञ थे। महात्मा बुद्ध ने ईश्वर प्राप्ति और मोक्ष अथवा निर्वाण हेतु बौद्ध धर्म के सरल तथा सुगम मार्ग का प्रवर्तन किया। उन्होंने प्राचीन मंत्रो, आध्यात्मिक गीतों तथा नृत्य आदि को नीरांजन (आरती) के लिए उपयुक्त मानते हुए संस्कृतनिष्ठ प्रार्थनाओं के स्थान पर देशी भाषाओं में रचित प्रार्थनाओं के प्रयोग पर बल दिया। उन्होने कृष्ण की प्रतिमाओं के प्रति विशेष श्रद्धा प्रकट की। बौद्ध युग की कला एवं संस्कृति तथा कलाकृतियों में आर्य तथा द्रविड़ जातियों से ग्रहण की गई आध्यात्मिक परम्पराओं तथा इष्ट देवों की पूजा-विधियों के ही पुनर्दर्शन होते हैं। इस संदर्भ में डाॅ. स्वरूप कुमार स्वामी का यह कथन दृष्टव्य है।

The essay narrates the biography of a single art object—acclaimed in recent history as a “masterpiece” of ancient Indian sculpture—to invoke the larger spectrum of practices and discourses that came to constitute the field of art history in modern India. It explores the shifting locations and aesthetic trajectories that marked the transformation of this artifact from a curious archaeological “antiquity” into a national “art-treasure” and icon of Indian femininity, and later even into “a travelling emissary of ancient Indian art and culture.” On the one hand, the spectrum of travels of this object provides an ideal instance for mapping over the twentieth century the changing colonial, national and international stature of Indian art. On the other hand, its career also pointedly reveals the clash of contending claims and the politics of “return” and “restitution” that have attended the nationalization and artistic consecration of many such objects.

This paper aims to present folk art as one of the genuine art forms and also to give depth to the beliefs of the primitive traditions. The native Indian art has maintained its continuity till the present day. Folk art plays an important role in the society. The domestic art works like Rangoli, Mandana, the pictorial scroll paintings, the paintings of Hindu deities at Puri, the Pattchitra etc. are the traditional arts of India. These are quiet ancient arts which are done on festivals and celebrations especially marriages. The art produced by the folk artist or tribal people have been very largely short lived, but it still has authentic historical background as found in the archaeological searches of Indus Valley Civilization or Harappan culture. The absorption of tradition and the historical past is helpful for the present and it brings with it the experience to shape up the future. Indian art has been a priceless witness to artistic talents going through the phases of cultural developments and achievements of human creativity.

Girish Karnad is a writer, dramatist, director and actor par excellence. He belongs to a generation that has produced Dharamveer Bharati, Mohan Rakesh and Vijay Tendulkar who have created a national theatre for modern India, which is the legacy of his generation. Jnanpitha Awardee, Karnad is the author of many well known plays in Kannada and English. He has represented Indian art and culture in foreign lands. Girish Karnad was a conscious writer, who had keenly observed cultural and political upheavals in India and brings in a new equation in his plays. In this paper, I propose to analyze the selected plays of Indian playwright Grirish Karnad who has experimented with the fusion of the traditional and the modern dramatic forms and content. Karnad is most famous as a playwright and his plays have become a byword for imagination, innovation and craftsmanship. In the subsequent years, Karnad continued to post script narratives, interpreting for us histories and myths, forging an idiom of writing that was tethered to both the past and present. Karnad's practice of drawing source from myths and tales lends the play an immediacy of appeal. This paper thus studies Karnad's selected plays from the point of view of themes and techniques. While doing so, the focus will mainly be on the history and myth in his dramatic works-Karnad's journey from his first drama 'Yayati holds a mirror to the very evolution of a truly 'Indian theatre.'

Abstract. Five overlapping eras or stages can be distinguished in the evolution of music therapy. The first one refers to the historical roots and ethnological sources that have influenced modern meta-theoretical perspectives and practices. The next stage marks the heterogeneous origins of modern music therapy in the 20th century that mirror psychological positions and novel clinical ideas about the healing power of music. The subsequent heyday of music therapeutic models and schools of thought yielded an enormous variety of concepts and methods such as Nordoff–Robbins music therapy, Orff music therapy, analytic music therapy, regulatory music therapy, guided imagery and music, sound work, etc. As music therapy gained in international importance, clinical applications required research on its therapeutic efficacy. According to standards of evidence-based medicine and with regard to clearly defined diagnoses, research on music therapeutic practice was the core of the fourth stage of evolution. The current stage is characterized by the emerging epistemological dissatisfaction with the paradigmatic reductionism of evidence-based medicine and by the strong will to discover the true healing nature of music. This trend has given birth to a wide spectrum of interdisciplinary hermeneutics for novel foundations of music therapy. Epigenetics, neuroplasticity, regulatory and chronobiological sciences, quantum physical philosophies, universal harmonies, spiritual and religious views, and the cultural anthropological phenomenon of esthetics and creativity have become guiding principles. This article should not be regarded as a historical treatise but rather as an attempt to identify theoretical landmarks in the evolution of modern music therapy and to elucidate the evolution of its spirit.
