Publication Date: May 1, 2019

Description: The present volume is an English synopsis with some of the Author’s own research and experiments in understanding the Science of the Rhythm. The book deals with the subject of illustrating the Science (logical and experimental roots) and Sensibilities (emotional and spiritual feeling based genesis) of the Indian Rhythmic structures also known as “Taal Shastra” in Sanskrit. The knowledge is based on ancient texts and author's own experiences as a practitioner of the art and instructions received from profound Gurus over the years. The book is a first of its kind in English language to delve into subjects of Science, Spirituality and Art in the context of Rhythmic instruments of Indian Classical Musical system. The first analytical and scientific section is based on Author's evolving experiments in the practice of Naad Yoga. Second and Third sections go into the ancient details of the structure and science of the Taal system in India with the English descriptions and explanations of the Sanskrit terms and their meanings. Source of the Sanskrit and Hindi material is translated by Author from out of print and unavailable “Taal Deepika” published by the Author Shri Mannuji Mridangacharya of Benaras in 1930s. The original Sanskrit and Hindi explanations have also been maintained in this book to assist the reader in grasping the idea from multiple languages. This book is NOT intended be a "How To Guide" on playing the Indian rhythmic instrument as it is assumed that reader has basic knowledge of the instruments and their physical playing abilities. Purpose of the book is to educate the practitioner of Music on true science and depth of the Taal Rhythmic structures so that one can perform with the full and complete depth that is gained by exploring the subject from all physical and spiritual avenues.
