This is a collection of nine essays based on lectures delivered by Ayyappa Paniker the Malayalam poet and scholar at special conferences in different places in India and abroad. They constitute a celebration of the rich cultural diversity of humanity especially in the Indian context. Over the past several millennia Indian culture has absorbed and developed a composite culture which fosters a pluralist approach to human civilization. That is the beauty and strength of the Indian tradition which lives on and grows ever richer finer despite countless obstacles and difficulties. Not only in the mosaic design of India's historical evolution but also in the various traditional accomplishments like the Kirtana or the narrative divergences are not only tolerated but also preserved and absorbed to the nourishment of the over all pattern of culture. The word difference with a slight variation in spelling of difference is intended to suggest this creative potential. 258 pp.…

Few performing art forms are marked by the dramatic dynamics that govern Kathakali from the culturally rich Southern Indian state of Kerala. The dance characterized by a unique feature its staunch distance from worldly reality selects to include within its scope only the most supernatural and mythological aspects concerning the lives and affairs of celestial beings deities demons and sages. An elaborately defined code of body kinetics combined with beautifully eloquent hand gestures called mudras are enhanced by stylized make up and costumes to provide the several appropriate symbolic nuances typifying Kathakali. The artiste besides makes little attempt to internalize the emotions of the character he portrays. Instead he enlivens his performance through the dimension of life breath or Prana in Sattwikabhinaya and infuses soul into his performance through rasabhinaya or emotional acting. Exaggerated and extravagant his histrionics enunciate a powerful language all their own creating as poetic field of expression that needs prodigious imagination on the part of the viewer to fully appreciate a performance. This double volume comprehensively explores the interpretative medium detailing such fascinating stage aspects as Aharya and Angikabhinaya along with an intricate pattern of music and rhythmics employed in Kathakali. Renowned scholars and performers additionally describe the textual sources for performances discuss reputed Kathakali institutes and outline the rigours of the disciplined training routine involved before a student makes his debut as a full fledged dancer. A rare insight into what is probably the most compelling art form. 204 pp.…
