The Kala Kosa investigates the intellectual
traditions in their dimensions of multi-layers and multi-disciplines.
As a research and publication division it endeavours to place the arts
within the integral framework of a cultural system, combining the
textual with the oral, the visual with the aural, and theory with
practice.
The Indian arts, both in theory (sastra) and
practice (prayoga), are branches of a single unified living tree
of Indian culture. They are sustained by, and in turn nurture, other
dimensions of life. The world-view has crystallised in some
fundamental concepts, which reflect the understanding of the cosmos, of
space and time, of the centre and periphery, of the part and the whole,
of body, senses and the mind. An interdisciplinary approach is the first
pre-requisite to interlink the sciences (Ganita, Jyotisa, Ayurveda,
etc.) with philosophy and with the various branches of the arts.
The Kala Kosa division is committed to exploring these fundamental
concepts, as they reflect a holistic vision characteristic of the Indian
world-view, but whose survival is today threatened by limitations of
narrow specialisation. So far, most research has been done in single
disciplines or within limited historical periods, but serious
investigation into the interrelatedness of all these fields has been
greatly lacking. While this insularity and compartmentalization of
knowledge was conditioned by the manner of development in the field of
the natural sciences in the 19th century, modern physics, biology and
medicine have already questioned the purely linear approach. Thus,
IGNCA's approach as based on the recognition of interrelatedness between
areas and subjects, is fully supported by the latest insights and
theories of the scientific community.
Keeping this in view,
the Kala Kosa Division works toward identifying primary concepts,
fundamental to the Indian world-view, which have permeated all
disciplines and dimensions of life, bringing to light primary textual
source material hitherto unknown, unpublished or inaccessible both in
the original language as also translation, and placing before future
generation the works of the savants who have been pioneers in giving
direction and light for comprehending the artistic traditions through a
holistic vision, cross-cultural context, and multi-disciplinary
methodology. Around
175 titles have been published under three
publication series viz. Kalatattvakosa,
Kalamulasastra and,
Kalasamalocana.
