The Philosophy of Karnatic Music and Its Vedic Roots - Vrinda Acharya #IndicTalks

Speaker: Renowned Carnatic Vocalist from Bangalore(India), Vidushi K. Vrinda Acharya, who is known for her captivating voice, uncompromising classicism and profound scholarship is popular with the rasikas of Carnatic Music.

Cultivated by common people and nobility alike, Karnatic music is an ancient search for undiluted aesthetic experience or Rasa surviving till today. However, in recent times the identity of this knowledge or vidya has been under threat due to unnecessary and excessive secularization. Here, Vidushi K. Vrinda Acharya, a scholar, researcher, writer, Sanskritist and teacher, also known for her captivating voice and uncompromising classicism, explains philosophy and goals of arts through the lens of universalism as perceived in India. She further discusses its history and how music of the south has managed to retain its divinity and sacredness, richness of its compositions both poetically and musically and multidimensionality through integrating spirituality and art. Next, she highlights the ruthless acquisitions it encounters along with attempts of secularizing in the name of artistic liberty and anti-religious arguments and thus its adverse effects on our culture through distortion and dilution. She concludes by making us aware of how we must act responsibly for its organic evolution and never compromise with our core values in this stage of crisis.
