About The Book

Lord Brahma, the creator, had found the celestial beings deviating from righteousness in the Treta Yuga. His efforts to bring them back to moral failed. As the last resort, the Lord took four different elements from the four Vedas and created Kridaniyakam-a toy which can be seen and heard, named Naty aveda. This story is detailed in s age Bharata’s Natyasastra, the ancient India dramaturgy. A toy involves mirth and tears. Natya which reflects the light and darkness of life is a toy. But it has the prowess to guide the human society from vices to virtues. Comedy and tragedy are integral to mankind. In the traditional to mankind. In the traditional Sanskrit theatre, Bhagav adjjukam and Mattavilasam are farces pregnant with philosophical anguish. This book is analysisi of these two plays culminating into the terrain of kridaniyakam.
