Thought Slot: The Melody of Yakshagana Rhythms

The Melody of Yakshagana Rhythms. I am reposting an important insight I had and wrote in this blog several years ago (I have made edits to reflect improved understanding). Best things they say are simple. But I think best things do depend on complexity but abstracted away in creating simply the best! Please leave a note about what you think about this write up. Thanks.

Thought Slot: Kannada words in Marathi

http://thoughtslot.blogspot.com/2008/09/kannada-words-in-marathi.html

Kannada words in Marathi. Although I am not sure, I think the following words are borrowed from Kannada. Sangitle simillar to Dravidian sollu? If you can find the right way to screw Sanskrit word or Persian word you will end up having a Marathi word. If you error you would have found a word in other languages such as Bengali, Odiya, Gujrathi! Tachini, Vahini, and other words in Kannada are from Marathi. Kannada (haLe- kannada) might have borrowed from Prakrit. Sangitle simillar to Dravidian sollu? ಮತ&#32...

Shankhnaad.net copies my blog post and removes my comments when asked to credit. Last year I investigated what RIP means and then wrote a blog post. On why it is 'culturally inaccurate'. After more than a year I came across an 'article' that talked about RIP adding to it some more stuff but basically copying my blog post including the meme even plagiarizing parts of the post. The author in question is one Rahul Priyadarshi who 'wrote' that 'article' for shankhanaad.net. Links to this post. Bak bak baw baw.

Apaurusheya literally means 'not of human'. Does it mean divine? Yes, divine in Indian sense, not the abrahamic 'Godly' sense. In my opinion, Apaurusheya means 'sacred everlasting ideas'. I will explain a little bit why I think so. 1) Apaurusheya does not refer to any text but ideas and mantras. 2) The authors of the Veda are called 'mantra drushtaaraha' (perceivers/receivers or those who saw it). Therefore, I have this theory, those who know more could validate this. Assumptions are not quite right.

Thought Slot: What are numbers? Part-1

http://thoughtslot.blogspot.com/2013/08/what-are-numbers-part-1.html

This is not something I have chosen to write to show I think philosophy or 'larger questions of life' etc. I am merely sharing some confusion and discomfort I have with my understanding of numbers. To me, understanding numbers is a scientific problem and is important. I say so with some resolve because I think, numbers as we know today are incomplete. So throwing out my current understanding will follow. You will see how scientific or otherwise, it is. Explains a lot more. So the two approaches are:.

Thought Slot: Why Yakshagana Bayalata Shruti is Different?

http://thoughtslot.blogspot.com/2011/11/what-is-shruti-and-why-is-yakshagana.html

Why Yakshagana Bayalata Shruti is Different? This is a Screen Shot -Visit http:/ shruti.hejje.com. I have created a small application that allows us to use the real/authentic Yakshagana Bayalata Shruti. Visit http:/ shruti.hejje.com for cell phone and PC versions). A fine tuner in software can make Harmonium tunable. In summary the reasons why Yakshagana Bayalata singers should not use Tanpura and should use Harmonium are:. Tanpura produces notes in completely different timbre. Have you heard Chande drum?
