Musical form as a metaphor in the story of Dhamsaka
Music has always been an integral part of life, especially in the history of India. It was not only an integral part of rituals, especially during festival time, but the popularity of Indian music has always been immense. Not only that, even non-Indian people are very much interested in Indian music, and not only that, even some of the best musicians of the Western countries acknowledge the fact that the Indian music is better and more superior to their own. It is, therefore, very interesting to see how Indian music is presented in the drama.
When I started the research of this essay, I wanted to talk about the way in which the musical form is used in the drama. The idea of using the musical form as a metaphor had crossed my mind. While doing so, I found many analogies, but one analogy struck me the most. It is, in fact, an analogy that has been used in a very relevant situation, which has also been used as a tool to present the concept of religious harmony. So, as in that situation, I also wanted to use this analogy in a very relevant situation, and that is, as a tool to understand the concept of Dhamsaka.
Harmony in Hinduism is a very complex and great concept. The scholars from all the religious ideologies have given different definitions to this word, so that every individual can understand it in the way he is best aware of it. It is well understood that in Hinduism, religious harmony, or harmony in religion, is not about the absence of differences in ideology, or the way of believing, or the way of following a religion. Harmony in religion means harmony in thought and opinions, and not in the way of following or being religious. For a Hindu, no religion is better than another religion. Even the belief in one God is not based on the fact that another religion is wrong, because for a Hindu, all religions are one. All these theories make sense, but that’s not the problem. The problem is that a Hindu has many gods, which is totally impossible in the eyes of the other religions. And even if it is possible, it is a fact that a Hindu has more than one god. For example, both Brahman and Brahmin are same, but Brahman is considered as highest God and Brahmin is considered as the same God. That is why, even Brahman can be taken as God, and Brahmin be359ba680
