रस की अवधारणा

Hareshwar Roy,
रस की अवधारणा
रस की अवधारणा भारतीय कविता की एक भव्य पुरानी अवधारणा है। रस को संस्कृत साहित्य का सर्वोच्च मूल्य माना गया है। यह सौंदर्य सुख का दूसरा नाम है। नाट्यशास्त्र के रचयिता भरत मुनि को रस सिद्धांत के प्रथम आचार्य के रूप में जाना जाता है। एक प्रसिद्ध दार्शनिक अभिनवगुप्त ने भरत मुनि द्वारा प्रतिपादित रस सिद्धांत की व्याख्या की है।भरत मुनि ने आठ रसों का प्रतिपादन किया है । उनके नाट्यशास्त्र के अनुसार, प्रत्येक रस का एक पीठासीन देवता और एक विशिष्ट रंग होता है। उन्होंने निम्नलिखित की स्थापना की:
1. श्रृंगारम (प्रेम, आकर्षण): पीठासीन देवता - विष्णु; रंग- हल्का हरा।
2. हास्यम (हँसी, हास्य): पीठासीन देवता - प्रमाता; रंग- सफेद।
3. रौद्रम (रोष): पीठासीन देवता - रुद्र; रंग- लाल।
4. करुण्यम (करुणा, दया): पीठासीन देवता - यम; रंग- ग्रे।
5. बिभत्सम (घृणा, घृणा): पीठासीन देवता - शिव; रंग- नीला।
6. भयनाकम (डरावनी, आतंक) - पीठासीन देवता - काल; रंग - काला।
7. वीरम (वीर मूड) - पीठासीन देवता - इंद्र; रंग - पीला-सा ।

On the Rule of the Road by A.G. Gardiner: A complete Study

Hareshwar Roy,
On the Rule of the Road: A.G. Gardiner A. TEXT: A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for foot-passengers, but she replied: "I'm going to walk where I like. We've got liberty now." It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger to walk down the middle of the road it also entitled the cab-driver to drive on the pavement, and that the end of such liberty would be universal chaos. Everybody would be getting in everybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy. There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket, and it is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means. It means that in order that the liberties of all may be p...
