Dhrupad the call of the Deep
images
Dhrupad is the oldest form of classical music that still continues in India as a living tradition. Having its origins in the vedic recitations and with a long, continual history of development into a classical art , dhrupad is today not performed much in India, but has found a growing international following, because of the sophistication of its musical concepts and because it embodies in it the essence of Indian spiritual thinking. Dhrupad can be seen at different levels as a meditation, a mantric recitation, a worship , a yoga based on the tantric knowledge of the nadis and chakras and also purely as a performing art portraying a universe of human emotions. In India Dhrupad has declined in popularity for the last two hundred years due to a paradigm shift in Indian music in which it came to be accepted that music must primarily entertain, something that dhrupad does not deliberately strive to do. The emergence of entertaining styles like Khyal and Thumri led to a steady decline in popularity and patronage for Dhrupad , though it still continued in a few royal courts in Rajasthan and Bihar where it remained the favoured style till the late 1940's when these princely states were merged into the Indian Republic. Dhrupad -The Call of the Deep (73 mins with English subtitles) is a documentary film on Dhrupad and the traditional Indian guru shishya system of learning in which knowledge is imparted not merely through formal lessons but through the sharing of a whole way of life. The protagonists are Dhrupad maestro Rahim Fahimuddin Dagar and his disciple Ashish Sankrityayan.
The film focuses on the complex grammar, aesthetics and spiritual foundations of Dhrupad, and the transmission of this knowledge from the Guru to his disciple, through a very personal relationship in which the teacher and the student spend almost the entire day together. The film also shows how Dhrupad is still related to life in India despite the changes brought by globalization
Release Date: january 2006 Film Director(s): Ashish Sankrityayan. Film Type: Feature Length Film Production Company: Ashish Sankrityayan
