This is the first session of Vedic Threads in the new format with Dr Ramkumar, Dr Claudia, and Navneet Raman, featuring guest instructor Dr Shubham Kulkarni. This session explores navarasa as a lived aesthetic and healing experience through nāda (music), Āyurveda, and the Śaiva – Tantric vision articulated by Abhinavagupta. Emotions are approached not as disturbances to be controlled, but as movements of consciousness that can be refined, balanced, and transformed. Drawing from aesthetics, Śaivism, and Tantra, the session reveals how rasa becomes a bridge between art, inner awareness, and human well being.
