What is Dhrupad : -
The word Dhrupad is derived from words ‘Dhruva’ meaning stead fast and ‘Pada’ meaning poetry. So grammatically it might give a feel of some poetry which is unmovable. This might be true as per the dry grammatical perspective. But the actual meaning of Dhrupad is not only limited to its musical or grammatical form but it has connection with the philosophy the ‘Darshan’ of sound. This is a branch of Sound Meditation (Naad Yoga). This ancient knowledge has been handed down by oral traditions only.
Dhrupad is a secret language of sound created & developed by the great maestros of each tradition. The disciples decode the language as per their vision and capability. Certainly an unmovable truth about sound as meditation handed down by centuries to a disciple and again to next generations.
Dhrupad has been a language to express the abstract with the medium of sound syllables.
