The Sage Bharata (Bharat Muni) in 6th & 7th Chapter of NatyaShastra (NS) emphatically states the concept of RASADHYAYA and BHAVADHYAYA.
According to Bharta, "Rasa " is that to be relished and "Bhava" is that which come into existence. It states that "Vibhava Anubhava Vyabhicari Samyogat Rasa Nishpatthi" that means Rasa is created out of the combination of determinants, consequents and transitory mental states.
It is vital for a dancer to study them for the following reasons:
1. Rasa can only be created by a dramatic presentation as it is not found otherwise, with the knowledge of Rasa Sutra a dancer can convey ideas through Angikabhinaya to the Spectator.
2. Theory of Rasa enables a dancer to apply the techniques to fix Sthayi vibhavs etc. moreover the nature of emotion is such that only if a dancer experiences it the others can feel it.
3.Concept of Generalization in NS emphasizes that no one in particular but belongs to everybody in general.
4. The NS further states that "NO wise Maxim,No Learning, NO art or Craft, NO device NO action that is not found in drama" hence dancer gets benefited with the knowledge of Rasa Sutra.
Thus, principles of Rasa Sutra prescribed by Bharata enable the dancer to emerge as an independent art though it continues to be an integral part of drama.
