Résumé

Résumé : Shuddhananda Natananjali

Dance Bharata Natyam also called as Sadhir Attam, is a major form of Indian classical dance that originated in Tamil Nadu. It has flourished in the temples and courts of southern India since ancient times. It expresses religious themes and spiritual ideas.

Description of Bharata Natyam by 2nd century CE is noted in the ancient Tamil epic Silappatikaram (Silambu Selvam), editing in Editions ASSA, while temple sculptures of 6th to 9th century CE suggest it was a well refined performance art by the mid-1st millennium CE. Bharata Natyam is the oldest classical dance tradition in India.

Dance Worship

Two tasks God gave me,
Singing on God, uniting with God,
Singing and paying obeisance, adorning with garland of poems
To unite and to learn good joyous Dance
Learnt I, Bharata Natyam, in a qualitative way,
The Worldly life itself is the Dance of Life
With mass of atoms dancing, with precious Body dancing
With God dancing inside Soul,
All the Dance of the Universe is the Dance of God only.
“The explanation of the five occupations of the God of Dance Is Natarajan,” said great people.
The Almighty devised the spotless,
Lasya, Thandava Art, Abhinaya
This is the untold language which originated first
Through movements of signs of hands, legs, face sign, eyes sign
This Art only gives realization of the rising in the heart.
The joy of Lute and Flute and the Nectar of seven kinds of Music
The beauty of the colourful golden divine
Movements of the Parts flows in abundance the Ambrosia, this Art only.
Showing Eyes through hands and Mind though eyes
And heart through Mind and life through heart
And joy through life, in a melting manner.
Showing feelings of Wonder, haughtiness, loath, anger
Fear, joy, manliness, valour
Mercy, peace, love, joy of love, intelligently
Jointly many and separately an individual
The Dance performed with anklet jingling
As Tamtaam, tataka tarikitatom
Shining, composing this Book
The Natananjali with Veda and Agamas, expanse of Epics
Historical scenes – fertile scenes
Depicting the History of great men
The frontal scenes of the world of three qualities
The scenes of five divisions of land, scenes in the thoughts
Of the bonds and attachments of the dear life
Scenes filled with pleasures and fortunes, scenes of human life
Shining auspiciously
Placing the Natananjali composed in a new manner
At the lotus feet of the benevolent Dancer
Who dances the dance of life in the assembly of Heart as I, I
Let us bow down and present to the Earth!

Biographie : Presentation of Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati 11th May 1897 – 7th March 1990

The wise one to the cosmic age.

Although more than 90 years old, in his school in the south of India, Kavi Yogi Maharishi (great divine visionary, wise poet), Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati worked like a young man of twenty. When he was asked his age, he answered: “My age is Courage!”

The Yogi wrote several hundred works in English, French, Tamil, Hindi, Telugu and Sanskrit: five thousand songs, and fifteen hundred poems in French. The magnum opus of the man conscious of the presence of God in him, Bharata Shakti, (in 50,000 verses) described his ideal: only One Humanity living in communion with only One God in a transformed world! Bharata Shakti is a monumental and unique work. The Yogi depicts the essence of all the religions, of all the prophets and saints, all the approaches of Yoga and all the cultures on an allegorical table. It is a book for any age which all spiritual researchers and all nations should read and meditate on. This work was completed and appreciated by Sri Aurobindo, the Mother, Mahatma Gandhi, Rabindranath Tagore, Romain Rolland, Annie Besant, Bertrand Russell, George Bernard Shaw and so many others. It installs the author among the great, men such as Dante, Homer, Racine, Shakespeare, Vyasa, and Valmiki.

Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati is one of the greatest Tamil poet, having translated into this language: Gita, Upanishads, Veda, the Bible, the Koran, Avesta, the Buddha-Dhamma-Sangha and Tattvartha Sutra, the life and teachings of Lao-Tseu and Confucius. From their original languages, he also translated into Tamil The Divine Comedy of Dante, the tragedies of Racine, the comedies of Molière, the dramas of Corneille, Shakespeare, Goethe and the novels of Anatole France, Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas and others.

Shuddhananda’s works are innumerable. Malcolm Macdonald, who chaired the Congress on the Unity of the Conscience in Singapore, said in his short speech about him: “He is such a remarkable man, having such a diversity of raised gifts, that it is difficult to know where to start and where to finish when one speaks about Kavi Yogi Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati. Few men have achieved as many things in only one human life.” His name appears moreover in the Encyclopaedia of the World’s Great Men, which says: “Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati is the author of literary works of varied styles: works epic and lyric, melodramas, operas, comedies, pastoral, romance, novels, biographies, commentaries on famous works and texts. Bharata Shakti is his magnum opus.” He had a presentiment that he would receive the Nobel Prize for Peace or for Literature but did not live to see it. His commitment is summarized in his book celebrating his life, “Experiences of a Pilgrim Soul (Expérience d’une Âme de Pèlerin)”.

God I loved and lived in him,
Making His commandment
Leave to Man his entire talents
This is my will! Dr. Shuddhanananda Bharati
