The Origin of Raga
An attempt has been made to trace out the most popular and common term 'raga', its origin, techniques and also the course of its development from the Vedic period to this modern age of science. It also narrates raga in actual forms and its development through ancient and medieval times and as it is practised and performed by musicians of the present times. The style of expression is easy to understand and didactic.
The Natyasastra
The Natyasastra is probably one of the earliest and certainly one of the best treatises on Indian Dramaturgy. At the same time, the book available now is not an early one but may be as late as the seventh or eighth century AD. The authorship is traditionally ascribed to Bharata, the sage.
The eminence of Natyasastra is not that it was the first book on the subject but that it was the first comprehensive treatise on Dance, Drama and Music.
Caraka Samhita Vol. 1 – Sutra sthana and Nidana sthana
Caraka samhita represents one important branch of Ayurveda known as kaya cikitsa (inner medicine). Other seven branches also adopt these doctrines only. This has made caraka samhita, a source book for all.
In view of its importance and popularity, many scholars have written commentaries on it. Many of these are losta nd among the available ones, the commentary of Cakrapani datta known as Ayurveda dipika is considered the best. Hence its translation and inclusion in this book.
