Odissi Dance by Shree Nritya Prajna

AHEY NILA SAILA PRABALA MATTA BARANA

This is an odia song written by Salbeg, a great Muslim poet, the poet says’ oh! Lord Jagannath, you are like a blue mountain. You are like a wild elephant. Please take away my sorrow, like an elephant crushes a lotus and throws it away. You have saved the elephant from the jaws of the crocodile; you saved the respect and dignity of Draupadi, the wife of Pandavas from the shameful situation in the court of Kauravas. You showed your presence everywhere by coming out of the pillar in the Avataar of Narasingha and killed demon hiranya Kasyapu. Ardhanariswar: in this item, the philosophy of the duality within human being is illustrated. This duality is represented through Shiva and Parvati. Despite being opposites in nature, they must co-exist to preserve harmony. Ramayana: In this episode Sita’s marriage to Rama then their exile in forest; abduction of Sita by Ravana’s encounter with jatayu etc. are beautifully depicted by the artistes.
