In Hinduism
Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraSiddhimantra (सिद्धिमन्त्र).—Before any dramatic performance (nāṭya) takes place, gods and demigods should be worshipped (pūjā) in ceremonies such as the ‘consecration of the mattavāraṇī’. According to the Nāṭyaśāstra 3.40-44 gods and demigods should be worshipped with offerings (e.g. different kinds of foodstuff ) and mantras.
The mantra for Siddhi to be uttered at the time of making offering, goes as follows:
लक्ष्मीः सिद्धिर्मतिर्मेधा सर्वलोकनमस्कृताः ।
मन्त्रपूतमिमं देव्यः प्रतिगृह्णन्तु मे बलिम् ॥lakṣmīḥ siddhirmatirmedhā sarvalokanamaskṛtāḥ |
mantrapūtamimaṃ devyaḥ pratigṛhṇantu me balim ||“O Lakṣmī, Siddhi, Mati and Medhā, ye who are honoured by all the worlds, accept this my offering consecrated by the Mantra.”
According to Nāṭyaśāstra 3.96-97, “Offering worship to the gods of the stage is as meritorious as a [Vedic] sacrifice. No dramatic performance should be made without first worshipping the deities presiding over the stage. When worshipped, they (these gods) will bring you worship, and honoured they will bring you honour. Hence one should by all efforts offer pūjā to the gods of the stage.”
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
