Introduction to Kāvyaśāstras

Introduction to Kāvyaśāstras

The juice of life or rasa, pervades every aspect of a rasika’s life. And kāvya is an expression of that rasa in its highest form. Bhārata has had a long, rich and structured tradition of kāvya, many of which are unfortunately not known as widely as they should be. This course will shed light on the various schools of kāvyaśāstras, and engage the learner in a delightful journey of soundaryabodha.
