NAVRASA - The Nine Emotions

ADHBHUT RAS (WONDER)

“I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful – an endless prospect of magic and wonder.”- Ansel Adams
This ras makes way for a profound, mysterious sense of beauty and awe of the universe that triggers a emotional response too deep and complex for words.
RAUDRA RAS (ANGER)

‘I’ve polished this anger and now it’s a knife.”- Cathy Linh Che
This ras represents the fiery pits of anger, violence and wrath that swirls in ones mind and controls them.
KARUNA RAS (SORROW)

“Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.” 
It’s a devastatingly versatile ras that evokes feelings of empathy, sorrow and anguish from the bottom of the heart pulling on the strings of longing and loss.
VEER RAS (BRAVE)

“The best thing about bravery is that even a little bit is enough”
Riding by the reigns of valor and spirit this ras interprets courage, bravery and confidence to represent it as the noblest emotion of strength by calling upon the warrior inside.
SHRINGAR RAS (LOVE)

"It is true that there are many minds as there are heads, then there are many kinds of love as there are hearts.”- Leo Tolstoy
It’s the undisputable ruler of all ras and is used to portray every form of love and beauty that exist in the eyes and soul of everyone present.
SHANT RAS (PEACE)

“If the ocean can calm itself so can you. We are both salt water mixed with air.” 
The sweet symphony that is created when mind, body and soul are on par with each other thus creating a sense of peaceful tranquility and calmness can be well described by this ras.
HASYA RAS (HUMOR/LAUGHTER) 

“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come”- William Shakespeare
This ras often depicts everything between a simple smile of harmless mirth to loud echoes of raucous laughter one that connects to all the happy and contending moments.
VIBHATSA RAS (DISGUST) 

“The greatest pleasures are only narrowly separated from disgust”-Marcus Tullius Cicero
It expresses the complex feelings of disgust and contempt that crosses ones mind when they come across something despicable.
BHAYANAK RAS (FRIGHT)

“I fear not the dark itself, but what may lurk within it.” This ras is tailor made to stand for the anxious feeling of suffering from a horrendous circumstance, foreseen or unforeseen.
