Episode 45: Sangeet part 4 -Life is a Spontaneous Drama - Prashant Iyengar

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to On the Light. I’m your host, Susan Johnson.In today’s episode, I’m grateful, as always, to sit down with Prashant Iyengar for another conversation that takes us deeper into the subject of Sangeet.Prashant begins by explaining that Sangeet arises from the Natya Shastra — the ancient Indian treatise on dramaturgy and the performing arts, a text that explores music, dance, theatre, rasa, and the inner mechanics of expression itself.From there, he leads us into a profound reflection: that life itself is a kind of drama.We are not the roles we play.Father, mother, friend, student — these are enactments.Costumes. Movements within a larger unfolding.And the Self, he reminds us, is beyond all of it.If you enjoy On the Light, please consider liking, sharing, or subscribing.
