21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

31 Case history taking

Case history provides knowledge about determinants process and consequences of symptom occurrence and termination

When traditional case history taking gives special emphasis on only verbatim Rabindrik psychotherapeutic case history taking uses verbal non-verbal languages and observation

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

234 Value theories

Theocentric (requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life)

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

14 Predictors in UAE Research

Work satisfaction social support religious affiliation social class income level and marital status and satisfaction were found to be the better predictors of subjective well-being (Suhail and Rashid Chaudhry 2004)

Mental disorders had showed significant correlation with female gender insufficient income and being single separated divorced or widowed (Ghubash etal 2004) For Senior people lack of meaning and worries are more detrimental to life satisfaction than physical frailty (Ghubach etal 2010)

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

With the recent appointment of Ohood Al Roumi as the United Arab Emiratesrsquo first Minister of State for Happiness and the policy made by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to become the happiest nation in the world happiness is becoming an increasingly important focus in the region

The goal for the UAE to be the happiest nation in the world isnrsquot something that is being taken lightly with organisations creating new roles and employing Chief Happiness Officers and Happiness Managers to start the process of increasing peoplersquos happiness

Happiness in the UAE is not just a hope ldquoThere will be plans projects programmes and indicators It will be a part of the work of all our ministries and part of our lifestylerdquo ndash Vice President of UAE

UAE is emerged as a Western-friendly politically stable and prospering oil-producing country in a region plagued by political social and economic turmoil

14 Predictors in UAE Research

Work satisfaction social support religious affiliation social class income level and marital status and satisfaction were found to be the better predictors of subjective well-being (Suhail and Rashid Chaudhry 2004)

Mental disorders had showed significant correlation with female gender insufficient income and being single separated divorced or widowed (Ghubash etal 2004) For Senior people lack of meaning and worries are more detrimental to life satisfaction than physical frailty (Ghubach etal 2010)

15 The Impact

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Theocentric (requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life)

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

14 Predictors in UAE Research

Work satisfaction social support religious affiliation social class income level and marital status and satisfaction were found to be the better predictors of subjective well-being (Suhail and Rashid Chaudhry 2004)

Mental disorders had showed significant correlation with female gender insufficient income and being single separated divorced or widowed (Ghubash etal 2004) For Senior people lack of meaning and worries are more detrimental to life satisfaction than physical frailty (Ghubach etal 2010)

15 The Impact

Employee engagement ndash Employees are committing their time effort and

expertise to the organisation When organisations are able to increase employee engagement they are also able to increase the happiness of their employees

Resiliencendash able to cope more effectively in times of adversity

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

Saraswat- Harmony with

Environment- Feeling of Peace- Aesthetics- Cleanliness

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

own)

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

31 Case history taking

Case history provides knowledge about determinants process and consequences of symptom occurrence and termination

When traditional case history taking gives special emphasis on only verbatim Rabindrik psychotherapeutic case history taking uses verbal non-verbal languages and observation

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

Saraswat- Harmony with

Environment- Feeling of Peace- Aesthetics- Cleanliness

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

234 Value theories

Theocentric (requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life)

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

own)

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

31 Case history taking

Case history provides knowledge about determinants process and consequences of symptom occurrence and termination

When traditional case history taking gives special emphasis on only verbatim Rabindrik psychotherapeutic case history taking uses verbal non-verbal languages and observation

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

234 Value theories

Theocentric (requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life)

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

own)

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

234 Value theories

Theocentric (requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life)

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

between family and work demand ) Niskam principle(Working without expectation of

reward) Challenging (Competing against one) Self-understanding Feedback to self about own

success and failure) Doubtless(Confidence and certainty in belief) Free from fear of failure ( Freedom from anticipated

fear) Resolute (Determined in purpose and action) Active (Avoidance of laziness)

Goal oriented Values Peace (Free from conflicts with others ) Universalization (Thinking for everyone) Enlightenment (Having true understanding) Positive Feeling (Feeling of happiness) Family Security (Taking care of loved ones) A Sense Of Accomplishment ( A lasting

contribution) Pleasure (An enjoyable life) Inner Harmony (Freedom from inner conflict) Self-Respect (Pride in oneself) Salvation (Saving self from bad effect) Self-Empowerment (Enabling power to self) Security (Protection from attack) Significance In Life (Finding meaning in life) Altruism (Considering good of others before

own)

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

21 Rabindranath Tagore Arab and Urdu

Rabindranath Tagore (1861ndash1941) was a creative genius who played a crucial role in the cultural renaissance of India and Bengal in the 19th and early 20th Century In 1913 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature and in 1915 he was knighted an honor he renounced in 1919 to protest British policies in India He was the founder of Vishwabharati University at Santiniketan

As being a seer poet Tagorersquos achievements included notable contributions in the fields of music literature plays art and as education reformer

The lyrics of the National Anthem of two Asian countries (India Bangladesh) are composed by Rabindranath Tagore For Sri Lankan national anthem his thought was carried out by his student (In 1938 Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote the music and lyrics for Nama Nama Sri Lanka Mata in the Bengali language for his student Ananda Samarakoon Samarakoon returned to Ceylon in 1940 and translated Tagores song into the Sinhala language Apa Sri Lanka Namo Namo Namo Namo Matha Sundar Sri Boroni)

Tagorersquos songs are enriched with positive human values His works are translated into Arabic languages

Recently Egypt becomes interested to translate the diaries of Tagore into Arabic

Urdu singers play Rabindrasangeet into Urdu

211 THE PILLARS OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGYRabindranath Tagore (7 May 1861 ndash 7 August 1941) and Martin Seligman (Aug12 1942)

Tagore was not Psychologist by degree He was seer poet His area of research was dynamics in consciousness through performing arts He understood nature by composing songs His method of research was observing the changes in nature ndash the light sound water air etc

But Seligman is Professor of Positive Psychology He started career in search of learned helplessness and depression through animal experiment Later he moves to positive psychology and builds up theories of learned optimism the antidote of depression Seligman has observed role of positive information in clinical intervention

Though they are different by profession by nationality and by research methods they are similar in some areas

Both stress on importance of positive values in psychological intervention They assign weight on positive information of human existence like freedom peace harmony etc Seligman tried to move our attention to six character strengths in his theory lsquo wisdomknowledge courage humanity justice temperance and transcendence

Both of them are against labelling people in terms of certain psychiatric disorders

Both stress on inner control freedom to think and act Both built institution Tagore built lsquoShanti niketanrsquo (the

abode of peace) Seligman built Institute of Positive Psychology

By using Tagorersquos theory in therapy it is noted that Tagorersquos songs possess some human values that can be used as diagnosis and clinical intervention specially depression Obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

again few soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Therapeutic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Environment- Feeling of Peace- Aesthetics- Cleanliness

231 TOPOGRAPHICAL THEORY OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Dr Debdulal Dutta Roy PhD (Psy)Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata

151215

231 Functions of Murto

Assignment Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes Find out difference

Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs

চারের আরোয় চরেছিরেম চারের বাছিরের

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

231 Functions of Raaga

It is the seat of feeling and emotion It changes meaning of stimulus It is filled with different flows Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing

perception of the characteristics of stimulus

231 Functions of Saraswat

When information comes to Saraswat layer individual experiences total harmony

It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and

surroundings

232 The flow

Consciousness is just like fluid When music acts on consciousness it causes two types of flow through mental images

These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow The flow is the movement of consciousness

wave Flow is not the static wave it is dynamic in nature

The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time

232 Speed of flow

232 Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy Estimate the direction speed sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Humanistic Buddhism and Confucianism are humanistic in the strong sense that neither view requires divine aid for attaining liberation or achieving the good life

Universalism Rabindrik values (requires self-awakening across all layers of consciousness for all species in the world Values are extracted from Rabindra sangeet)

234 List of Path and Goal Oriented human values

Path Oriented Values Self-awakening (imagining positive power ) Emotional control (Controlling unwanted emotion) Systematic (Following planned step ) Non self-insulting (Not offending to self) Fearless (Feeling of overcoming fear) Cleanliness (Neat and tidy) Non work-family conflict (Maintaining balance

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

Analysis from lsquoShyamarsquo Giti natya ndash by D Dutta Roy ISI Kolkata

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

31 Case history taking

Case history provides knowledge about determinants process and consequences of symptom occurrence and termination

When traditional case history taking gives special emphasis on only verbatim Rabindrik psychotherapeutic case history taking uses verbal non-verbal languages and observation

232 Flow quotient

Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo We) 100

Wo= Observed wave per second We = Expected wave per second

Here 100 is multiplied to avoid fractionThe above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base high and low 100 is the base

level(Wo= We ) Above 100 indicates high load (Wo gt We) and below 100 indicates low load (WoltWe) So flow

characterizes the extent of turbulence in the field of consciousness When flow quotient is less than 100 consciousness becomes non turbulent or there is laminar

flow When it is more than 100 it becomes turbulent Turbulence depends on the dynamic properties of

external force vis-a-vis music and the surface condition of consciousness

232 Flow field

The area of consciousness affected by flow is flow field Flow causes change across layers of consciousness When flow occurs it spreads from murta to raaga and raaga to Saraswat layer When the force is weak flow field covers only murta or murta and raga not the saraswat It would be misnomer to assume that force field is only above the base level Mental imagery can be submerged Submerged force can cause buoyancy

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

232 Buoyant force

Archimedes (a Greek mathematician) determined that a body which is completely or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upward force called the Buoyant Force Just hearing the music we sometimes sing it repeatedly This may be due to buoyancy effect As discussed music causes force on consciousness When strength of force is very high it moves downward

Downward pressure

Upward pressure

232 Buoyant force

This is buoyant force So when flow moves from one layer to another buoyant force acts Due to buoyant force some areas of images are displaced and mental images move across layers The buoyant force is due to the difference between the pressure at the bottom of the object pushing up on it and the pressure at the top pushing down Due to buoyant force mental images lasts on the surface of consciousness When buoyant force is less the image sinks

Upward pressure

232 Saturation

Saturation is the degree or extent to which something is dissolved or absorbed By repetition of same song sometimes we do not want to sing again This may be due to saturation Saturation can occur at any layer of consciousness

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Age 52 Sex Female Marital status Unmarried Chief complaints For last 30 years

she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned She spent most of the time in worshipping the God

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

232 Flow enclosure

Each flow has the boundary The mental images within the specific enclosure may not be same with another enclosure of flow

So many flows can occur on the same surface of consciousness

Number of flows determines extent of turbulence in consciousness

232 Association

When one flow associates with another flow Flow may or may not be dissolved There will be three possibilities Both flows can exist can be overlapped or one can engulf other

233 Rabindrik Psychotherapy acts simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain (If-then logic comprehension of value dynamics)

1 CBT is structured2 CBT is experimental and research based3 CBT is educational4 CBT is homework based5 CBT is time limited6 CBT tells how to think how to feel and act7 CBT changes reasoning process 8 CBT becomes powerful using Rabindrik Psychotherapy as it acts quickly and simultaneously on our right (creativity) and left brain hemisphere (If-then logic value comprehension) through flow of music dance drama painting sculpturing ingrained with positive values

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

24 POSTULATES

1 Behaviour is caused by the changes in consciousness layers2 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow3 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being4 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it 5 Man is the pursuer of completeness 6 Man is the pursuer of newness 7 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

Postulates extracted from Rabindra Sangeet

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

243 Consciousness is free floating Look at it as detached being

Tagore conceptualized two beings - free floated real being and detached being As detached being man can understand own consciousness Detachment helps man to understand all the incompleteness in consciousness by removing all the emotions intertwined with sensory images

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

The lsquoIrsquo that floats on the waves of time under the sky I am watching at it

That lsquoIrsquo moves like moving picture and I am watching at it as silent poet

This lsquoIrsquo is not that lsquoIrsquo I am within me I am not floating like dead

I am free satisfied peaceful and lighted I am watching at it

244 Make the consciousness unbounded and experience it

Consciousness is unbounded and unlimited One can roam and experience its changes The experience gives feeling of completeness It is just like journey from incomplete to complete across three layers of consciousness Reaching at Saraswat one wants to stay there for prolonged period Such feeling is described in the Tagorersquos song

You are what I wantBesides you I have no oneIf you do not find happiness

you move elsewhereI want to stay within youI want to be disappeared

within you for long time

245 Man is the pursuer of completeness

Frustration and conflict occur when consciousness is searching for harmony around the Murta and Raag layers due to faulty learning or inability to learn

Man in his whole life always pursue saraswat the locus of harmonization

Tagore wrote ldquoAmi keboli swapan karechi bapan bataserdquo When it is translated into English it appears as

I only sow my dreams in air so I collect day-dreams in despair

Like shadow it vanishes I cannot find its end

My mental images are floating in the air

246 Man is the pursuer of newness

Onersquos feeling of completeness is transient Todayrsquos feeling changes with new Prolonged stay within saraswat layer does not provide variety This leads man to be creative and innovative Tagore wrote - ldquo Tomay natun kare pabo bole harai khane khanrdquo It means that I want to make you out of sight in order to see you in a new way

246 Self-awakening is the key to positive mental health

The word Self-awakening implies the meaning of understanding the flows across layers of consciousness Flows occur through activity Tagore in his song ldquoAntaro mamo bikashito karo antartaro herdquo suggests five specific activities for self-awakening These are (a) auto suggestion for flourishing the self (b) cleaning brightening and beautifying the self (c) free self from fear laziness and doubt (d) establish social network (e) spreading peace in all activities

Early visit Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Therapy Sessions

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

242 Avoid labeling Todayrsquos label changes tomorrow

Todayrsquos labeling one as mad or abnormal may not be appropriate in tomorrow Tagore in his song (ldquoJe tore pagol bole tare tui bolis ne kichurdquo) prevents us from labeling one as mad Again he has given own reasoning for the prevention

Do not say anything when one calls on you madAssuming you as abnormal one can throw dust on you today

Tomorrow he will come to you with garlandToday due to self-pride he sits on high chairTomorrow he will get down and bow his head

This suggests that Rabindrik psychotherapy possesses lot of cognitive resources that guide individual toward positive life style

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Psychological Counselling and Psychotherapy as antidotes of psychiatric illness

Psychotropic drug is a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception mood and consciousness

Like psychotropic drugs psychological counselling and psychotherapy can decrease severity level of psychiatric disorders

They can change perception of self and of the surroundings They can develop the abilities to withstand threats

What is Psychotherapy

The term psychotherapy refers to the treatment of psychological disorders through the use of psychological theories the postulates techniques and tools rather than physical means like administration of drugs or surgery

Some therapiesndash Psychoanalysisndash Behaviour

Rabindrik psychotherapy Unbounded consciousness Freedom is restricted by sufferer Survival strategy is formulated by

sufferer Objective is self-awakening No labelling Performing art based psychotherapy Insight occurs through performing arts

performed by sufferer and therapist Both therapist and sufferers are performers

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death

Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years 33 died per day in India It is assumed that out of 33 at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (25 rate)

Common causes of death are suicide accident cardiovascular diseases schizophrenia and depression

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes CHD skin disorder respiratory diseases peptic ulcer cancer etc

In people with schizophrenia the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma pneumonia was almost 10 times than others

Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

Distorted and non-distorted Murto layer (locus of sensation and perception) in Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Distorted Partial or full sensory

information loss Difficulty in sensory

integration Part perception Faulty mental imagery Missing and anomalies in

responses

Non-distorted Acquisition of adequate

sensory information Good sensory integration Whole perception Adequate imagery Absence of missing and

anomalies in responses

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

MURTA RAAG SARASWAT

Q What is this A1 This is a white object

(Murta)A2 This is white beautiful

flower (Raag)A3 This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white individual still asks the question as what is this or is it white

After considering the flower as light individual asks the question ndash is it light

Flow on Consciousness Stream

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

• INTRODUCTION TO RABINDRIK PSYCHOTHERAPY

What is the advantage

Rabindrik psychotherapy provides positive experience ndash control on environment (Jadi tor dak shune keu na ase) feeling of freedom (Tomar khola haoa) optimism feeling of harmony with the surroundings

Client himher self can customize situation using Rabindrik tools to explore understand and regulate flow across layers of consciousness

It is free from labeling so client is free from identity crisis It is less time consuming and less costly It affects both right and left hemisphere of the brain

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

What is the disadvantage

Rabindrik art carries dual meaning Due to highly loaded with negative information client may be prone to negative connotation

It can create positive transference Therapist may not be able to come out from the improvised art Performing art should be synchronized with the lyrics when it will be presented

to the client who can not understand language Rigorous training is important specially in skill development on lyric and art

synchronization improvisation of Rabindrik arts and in development of adequate knowledge about four areas of Rabindrik psychotherapy ndash Layer dynamics flow theory control theory and therapeutic postulates

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Therapeutic procedure

There are four major stages of Rabindrik psychotherapy (a) analysis of flow in consciousness (b) Rabindrik improvisation for insight generation (c) competency mapping and goal-setting (d) termination Therapist will follow certain precautions in therapy

Case Study 1 Where all fail Rabindrasangeet acts

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Psychological Counselling and Psychotherapy as antidotes of psychiatric illness

Psychotropic drug is a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception mood and consciousness

Like psychotropic drugs psychological counselling and psychotherapy can decrease severity level of psychiatric disorders

They can change perception of self and of the surroundings They can develop the abilities to withstand threats

What is Psychotherapy

The term psychotherapy refers to the treatment of psychological disorders through the use of psychological theories the postulates techniques and tools rather than physical means like administration of drugs or surgery

Some therapiesndash Psychoanalysisndash Behaviour

modificationndash Cognitive therapyndash Cognitive behaviour

therapyndash Rabindrik

Psychotherapy

Paradigm shift in Psychotherapy

Classical psychotherapy Bounded consciousness Freedom is restricted by therapist Survival strategy is formulated by

therapist Objective is treatment as if pain

management Psychotherapy is guided by

labelling Insight occurs by the

interpretation of therapist

Rabindrik psychotherapy Unbounded consciousness Freedom is restricted by sufferer Survival strategy is formulated by

sufferer Objective is self-awakening No labelling Performing art based psychotherapy Insight occurs through performing arts

performed by sufferer and therapist Both therapist and sufferers are performers

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Response control of OCD

A woman of 52 years old came to me with complaint of OCD to dirt Patient reported her inability to control washing compulsion For last 30 years she regularly went to toilet for washing and cleaning hands She always closed her hands tightly so that her hands would be completely cleaned Before visit to me she was treated by many psychiatrists and one psychologist No notable changes are noticed except long time sleep

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Patientrsquos behaviour

Very inhibitiveHand clasping tightlyStrong resistance to

open claspingNon-cooperative to

participateNot able to administer

any available psychological tests

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Analysis of patient

Patient is searching for dirt in the outer layer In the inner layer dirt is perceived as threateningPatient wants to move away from inner to inner core

layer For the same she spends most of the time in worshipping the God and keeping cleanliness

She is not happy with soaping hands as this can not help her to reach at the innercore layer of consciousness

This results approach ndash avoidance conflict (Approaching to the soap in order to avoid dirt again few

soaping is not sufficient so more soaping is required )

Analysis of family

Repeated soaping consumes more waterFamily assumes that it is unreasonable but

patient assumes it as reasonable Family member is not aware of

consciousness dynamics playing inside the patient

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Psychological Counselling and Psychotherapy as antidotes of psychiatric illness

Psychotropic drug is a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception mood and consciousness

Like psychotropic drugs psychological counselling and psychotherapy can decrease severity level of psychiatric disorders

They can change perception of self and of the surroundings They can develop the abilities to withstand threats

What is Psychotherapy

The term psychotherapy refers to the treatment of psychological disorders through the use of psychological theories the postulates techniques and tools rather than physical means like administration of drugs or surgery

Some therapiesndash Psychoanalysisndash Behaviour

modificationndash Cognitive therapyndash Cognitive behaviour

therapyndash Rabindrik

Psychotherapy

Paradigm shift in Psychotherapy

Classical psychotherapy Bounded consciousness Freedom is restricted by therapist Survival strategy is formulated by

therapist Objective is treatment as if pain

management Psychotherapy is guided by

labelling Insight occurs by the

interpretation of therapist

Rabindrik psychotherapy Unbounded consciousness Freedom is restricted by sufferer Survival strategy is formulated by

sufferer Objective is self-awakening No labelling Performing art based psychotherapy Insight occurs through performing arts

performed by sufferer and therapist Both therapist and sufferers are performers

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Therpeautic analysis

Target Preventing clasping hands Consciousness model

ndash Outer layer Dirt perceptionndash Inner layer Dirt as threat ndash Innercore Feeling of cleanliness

Currently patient is moving around outer and inner layers only Therapeautic target Providing her Feeling of cleanliness Rabindrasangeet is non-dirt area Explore the song suitable for feeling of non-dirt area

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Session-1

In the first session patient was highly inhibitive to reveal herself Due to difficulty in rapport establishment I started singing - Ananda loke mangala loke (moving to spiritual land)

Suddenly she started singing with me in very low voice

I paid my attention to her and started moving the hands keeping with the rhythm and waves of the song loudly She participated into my hand movement and sang the song loudly

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Session-2

In the 2nd session after 6 days the client sang with me same song by standing She moved her hands above head when she sang Grahataraka chandra tapana byakula drutabege (the planets satellites are moving speedily) It is noted that her hands now completely opened

Session-3

In the 3rd sitting patient reported that she alone practiced two songs ndash Ektuku chona lage (feeling light touch) and ndash Eto din je bosechinu (waiting for long days) at

home Finally she sang with me both songs alongwith Ananda loke danced and she never closed her hands

Termination Patient herself is able to prevent stopping hand clasping

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Case Study 2 Geetbitan as Projective test

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Projective test

Individual projects own feelings conflict and desires on others

Psychologists use several tests for analysis of projection of the patient

Some widely used tests are Rorschach TAT Sentence completion test Word association test etc

Analysis of Projection

A neurotic depressed patient came to me with complaints of suicidal desires She was co-operative In stead of using common psychodiagnostic test I used Geetbitan She was asked to select 10 songs from Geetbitan the famous Book of songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore

Patient selected following 10 songs

1 Akash bhara surya tara2 Aloker ei jharna dharay3 Ananda dhara bahiche bhubane4 Ananda loke mangala loke5 Aji jato tara tabo6 Amar mukti aloy aloy7 Ami chini go chini8 Aro aro prabhu aro aro9 Alo amar alo ogo10 E ki labonye punya

Next I told her to rank them Her rank was First 3 Second 10 Third 4

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Finally she sang the first rank song (Ananda dhara bohiche bhubane) I followed her in singingI have noticed that each line of this song reflects her current mental state and it is interesting to note that the song also provides the answer as how to recover from such problems

Finally I have used that song for her psychological counselingTherefore I have developed following assumptions1 Geetbitan as Psychological test2 The words of Geetbitan advances knowledge of psychotherapy

ldquoAnandadhara bahiche bhubane dinarajani kato amritarasa uthali jay ananta gagane

Pan kare rabi shashi anjali bhariya- sada dipta rahe akshyaya jyoti- nitya purna dhara jibone kirane

Bosiya acho keno apanmone swarthanimagana ki karane

Chari dike dekho chahi hridaya prasari khudra dukhosab tuchcha mani

Prem bhariya laho shunya jibone ldquo

Case Study 3 Self-understanding

Complaints

Over learning Poor academic

performance Apprehension of

danger

Analysis of client

Layer dynamicsndash Outer layer Perceiving the bookndash Inner layer Book is perceived as source of completenessndash Innercore Feeling of completeness

Reason for over learning He tends to be complete being Problem lies on over study due to extrinsic reading

motivation Target of change Study for intrinsic motivation Case history He can play tabla and can sing

Rabindrasangeet It is practiced in family

Session

Requesting him to sing any song of TagoreHe selected ldquoJadi tare nai chini go se ki amay

nebe chine ei naba falguner dine---- jani ne jani nerdquo

I asked if your book asked you the same what would be your answer

He Jani ne (I do not know)hellipafter broodinghelliphe said that from today I would study the lesson to understand it

Termination Client is able to understand how to be complete

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to learn Bengali for itrsquos application A Tagorersquos songs were translated into different languages So language is

not bar Again when music and language is synchronized music can create similar effect

Study Few adults affiliated with Islamic religion are asked to draw whatever comes to their mind and experience physiological changes when rabindrasangeet by violin was presented The lyric is ndash ldquo Amar hiyar majhe lukiye chile dekhte ami pai nirdquo (I can not see my hidden force)

After the full presentation it was seen that they drew the pictures similar to the lyrics One reported muscular pain in his leg When asked he reported someone pulled his leg to the hole

Q amp A about Rabindrik Psychotherapy

Q Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet

A This is not required if lyrics can create flow across layers in consciousness

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Like psychotropic drugs psychological counselling and psychotherapy can decrease severity level of psychiatric disorders

They can change perception of self and of the surroundings They can develop the abilities to withstand threats

What is Psychotherapy

Some therapiesndash Psychoanalysisndash Behaviour

interpretation of therapist

Rabindrik psychotherapy Unbounded consciousness Freedom is restricted by sufferer Survival strategy is formulated by

sufferer Objective is self-awakening No labelling Performing art based psychotherapy Insight occurs through performing arts

performed by sufferer and therapist Both therapist and sufferers are performers

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37 of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases)

Loss of employment productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 25

trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015The economic health of both developing and developed nations will

depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs

They can change perception of self and of the surroundings They can develop the abilities to withstand threats

What is Psychotherapy

The term psychotherapy refers to the treatment of psychological disorders through the use of psychological theories the postulates techniques and tools rather than physical means like administration of drugs or surgery
