Book excerpt: The performing arts of Kerala Kathakali, Kutiyattam, Mohiniattam, and other forms of dance and drama occupy a vital space in India s creative imagination. All these performances move to a music that is supported by Kerala s indigenous musical instruments a variety of drums and clappers, as well as a smaller number of pipes and strings. Quite a few of these instruments are also found associated with rituals and festivities in the temples of Kerala: the Itakka, Chenta, Timila, Milavu, Suddha Maddalam all membranophones; the aerophones Kurum Kulal and Kompu Vadyam; and Ilattalam, an idiophone. Notes on these instruments by a devoted student of the performing arts of Kerala are put together in this small volume the first English-language publication on the subject. Illustrations of each instrument accompany the texts. The author brings to his task the benefit of an intimate knowledge of each instrument, acquired through years of fieldwork, as well as an erudition born of his immersion in literary classics in Tamil, Malayalam and Sanskrit. The pieces here are a source too of the folklore associated with Kerala s musical instruments. The chief strength of the book, however, lies in the precise information it provides on each instrument its dimensions, materials, construction, playing techniques, methods of training, and, not least, its music. Apart from musicians and musicologists, this book would interest students of Kerala s folklore and anthropology, as well as general readers with a special interest in the arts and culture of Kerala.

Book excerpt: Books dealing with ritualistic music, devotional dance forms and allied arts of Kerala arerare. Not much research has gone deep into these areas which cut across the periphery andsuperficial layers and touch the real core. The reasons could be many the practitionersinability to verbalise the content and substance of their art and their inhibition to violatethe rigid, protective, orthodox rules and norms intended to preserve their sanctity.The concept of Sangeetam that is Geetam, Vadyam and Nrityam or the Triad Arts, existedbefore fifteenth century, is still in vogue in the music of Kerala temples.This book deals with the Sopaana music, the traditional music of Kerala and seeks tothrow light on various ritualistic music and musical instruments and ritualistic dance Thalinanka Nrityam the precursor of Mohiniattam. Many facts and information relatedto the three areas, which were rarely known have been identified through systematicresearch of primary and secondary sources, especially the information contained in theold palm leaf manuscripts collected from ancient families and temples. It is hoped thatthe work will pave the way for those who want to go further in studying the temple arts ofKerala.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Music and Temple Ritual in South India: Performing for Śiva documents the musical practices of the periya mēḷam, a South Indian instrumental ensemble of professional musicians who perform during the rituals and festivals of high-caste (Brahmanical) Tamil Hindu temples dedicated to the Pan-Indian god Śiva – an important patron of music since at least the tenth century. It explores the ways in which music and ritual are mutually constitutive, illuminating the cultural logics whereby performing and listening are integral to the kinetic, sensory and affective experiences that enable, shape and stimulate ritual communication in present-day devotional Hinduism. More than a rich and vivid ethnographic description of a local tradition, the book also develops a comprehensive and original analytical model, in which music is understood as both a situated and creative activity, and where the fluid relationship between humans and non-humans, in this case divine beings, is truly taken into consideration.

Book excerpt: Those of us blessed with a comfortable life are definitely a minority compared to those who are not. Not by the number maybe, but by the sheer scale of misery the unfortunate lot go through for absolutely no fault of theirs. Children suffering physical and sexual abuse at the hands of adults who are supposed to protect them, young adolescents succumbing to bullying by their peers, the poor and less privileged being exploited by the conscienceless affluent, young women getting trafficked into the flesh trade by the mindless pimpgangs... and the list goes on. DREAD stalks these hapless souls and drives them through extremely frightening dark alleys... forcing them fight it out all by themselves with no help in sight, till they sight the end of their very lives. The Hope Mafia turns the table on this rather stark, dreary scenario by unleashing a positive energy that eclipses the depressive reality with a far more violent offensive. And the plot bolsters itself on this creative premise: Because the agents of The Hope Mafia are up for a formidable task, they are coded with an altruistic DNA and endowed with some special powers to accomplish their mission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Chempakavalli is a rare tale of 'Sati'(the practice of the wife jumping into the funeral pyre of the husband) in the history of Venad. Ananthan Kutty Pattar and his wife Chempakavalli, were Brahmins from Valliyur, who migrated to padmanabhapuram, fleeing from insecurity in their home land. The king of Venad who lived in padmanabhapuram, assured them that he shall protect them. He built houses for them to stay and they flourished from the textile business, which they carried on from there. One day, while returning from a business trip to the North along with his friends, Ananthan was killed by dacoits near Vaikom.The virtuous Chempakavalli, who loved her husband like a God, became shattered on hearing the news of her husband's death. She met the king of Venad and sought permission to perform 'Sati', by jumping into the funeral pyre of her husband. The stunned king, tried his best to dissuade her, but that was in vain. The king had to yield to the resolute Chempakavalli... When she came dress like an 'Apsaras'(Celestial dancers of great beauty) to the burning pyre in all virtue, and walked into the fire with confident steps, the heart of the king who was witnessing all this, burnt within... Charioted from the burning pyre to Deva Loka (Heaven), she met the Lord and received the boon to be incarnated as Yakshi Amman. Today, she dwells as a 'Devi' in Udaygiri, Melancode and in numerous yakshi temples as the bestower of prosperity and wellbeing. Chempakavalli's story is alive in the 'Vill Pattu' in the folklore tradition of Kerala's Thekkan Pattukal (Southern songs)' heritage. Vill Pattu is an important ritual art form in the Amman Kovils of Kerala and Tamilnadu, which follows the Dravidian culture of worshipping mother goddesses. the songs are a mix of Malayalam and Tamil dialects and are sung to the beats struck on the chords of a 'Vill' (bow), with bells on either end. This could be one of the longest musical instruments in the world ... Sathi Chembakavalli is the presiding deity in many temples of Southern Kerala and Tamilnadu. But her full story today, dwells only within the realm of Vill Paatu. Chempakavalli's story is being presented here through graphic illustrations on the tenets of the mural arts indegenious to Kerala.
