            Mati in Bharat Natyashastra means to take appropriate decision after thorough analysis of concept or matter from the bases of old knowledge and experiences.

        According to Bharat’s Natyashastra, resolution should be demonstrated in stage plays by preaching, sacred speech, explaining and clearing doubts etc.

  There are many instances of resolution in Garhwali folk drama especially religious stories etc.

 There is very important ritual among Uttarakhandi called ‘Saptah’ or Shrimad Bhagvat Puran ‘. The Vyas or Preaching priest tells various preaching stories from Shriamd Bhagvat a Sanskrit epic.

                    The following folk song is sung by Dalya Guru (a Caste in Garhwali related to Nath sect) while roaming village to village. Dalya Guru sings the poetic story of Guru Gorakhnath, Bhartihari, Gopichand etc and playing Ektara. The following folk song is from one of folk songs sung by  Dalya Guru  dramatically is one examples of resolution in Garhwali folk drama.

गढवाली लोक नाटक में मति    भाव  (Dalya Lokgeet  )

ऋद्धि  को सुमिरों सिद्धि को सुमिरों सुमिरों सारदा माई।

अर  सुमिरों गुरु अविनाशी को , सुमिरों कृष्न कनाई।

सदा अमर नि रैंदी धरती माता , बजर पड़े टूट जाई।

अमर नि रैंदा चंद , सुरजि छुचा , मेघ घिरे छिप जाई।।१।।  

माता रोये जनम कूं , बहिन रोये, बहिन रोये छै मासा।

तिरिया रोये डेढ़ घड़ी कूँ , आन करे घर बासा।।२।।

कागज़ पतरी सब कुई बांचे करम नि बांचे कुई।

राज घरों को राजकुंवर , बुबा करणी जोग लिखाई।। ३ ।।

सुन रै बेटा गोपीचंद जी बात सुनो चित लाई।

कंचन कया , कंचन कामिनी मति कैसे भरमाई।।  ४।।  

अलख निरंजन अलख निरंजन, सुन रे बेटा गोपीचंद जी बात सुनो चित लाई।

अलख निरंजन , अलख निरंजन जपो रे भाई , हो भव सागर पार

 Remember Riddhi and Siddhi, Remember Sharda goddess

Remember Guru Avinasi , remember Krishna Kanhahi

The earth is not immortal, breaks on cloud bursting

Sun and Moon are not immortal, Clods cover them

Mother weeps for ever for her dead child, sister shows grief for six months

Wife grief for one and half hours.

Anybody can read written on paper but nobody can read luck or future

The prince had to become sage

O Gopichand! Take the words by heart and be Sanyasi

Why the external world is deceiving you ?

Alakh Niranjan, Alakh Niranjan …..
