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).
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: DSpace at Pondicherry: Siddha Cult in Tamilnadu (sculpture)Vyāli (व्यालि) or Vyālinātha is one among the Navanāthas. Vyāli’s name has many variants viz., Byāli, Bhāli, Byāri, Bāli, Pāli, Vyādi etc. However, in the book ‘Masters of Mahāmudra’, he is listed last of the ‘Eighty-four Mahāsiddhas’. The work mentions that Vyāli was born in a wealthy Brahmin family, in the land of Apatra. He attempted to prepare a recipe of immortality, but the potion had no effect. Therefore in anger he threw his alchemical manual into the River Ganges, during his 13th year of sādhana.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
India history and geography
Source: Wisdom Library: Teachers, Saints and SagesVyāli (व्यालि) is another name for Bhalipā: one of the eighty-four Siddhas (Siddhācāryas) of the Sahajayāna school, according to sources such as the Varṇaratnākara of Jyotirīśvara (i.e., the Varna-Ratnakara by Jyotirishwar Thakur).—The Sahaja-Yana is a philosophical and esoteric movement of Tantric Buddhism which had enormous influence in the Indian subcontinent and the Himalayas.—Many of these Mahāsiddhas [e.g., Vyāli-pā] were historical figures whose lives and mystical powers were the subject of legends. They are often associated with teachings belonging to Hinduism, Buddhism, Ajivikism and Jainism such as the Nath Tradition.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
