Gita Govinda of Jayadeva
Gita Govinda is a composition of the12th century poet Jayadeva. It is the earliest Sanskrit work
popularly known as shtapadi which elaborates the eight moods
of the heroine, the Ashtanaika. This has been an inspiration
for many composition and choreographic works in Indian classical
dance.
Dr. Sharda Narayanan and Dr. Sujatha Mohan have
authored the book ‘Gita Govinda of Jayadeva’.
The modern Indian society is losing the grasp of the Sanskrit language,
so the authors have taken up upon themselves to present the text of
Jayadeva in the simplest way possible in 5 chapters. The essence of this
text hovers around singara.The authors elucidate the nayak and nayika
bhedas. The authors’effort in presenting the treasure trove for
easy rendering of verses is a ready reckoner for artists and art lovers
in understanding various abhinaya particularly ‘madhur bhakti’ .
Dr.Shruti Jauhari is a
rare blend of musician, performing artist,historian, teacher, author and guru. Her
voice has been a regular at All India Radio, Bhopal, Jabalpur and Chennai
centres. Her passion for Hindustani music has taken her across the
globe. She will be rendering her beautiful voice to enliven the verses.
