Laya Vinyaasam: A Mathematical Approach: Based on the Principles Propounded by Sangeetha Vidwan S. Rajagopala Iyer and Published in His Book Sangeetha Akshara Hridaya (In 2 Volumes)

The book is overwhelming in its profound scholarship and comprehensiveness in theory and practice of Taala in Karnataka Music. The advantage in studying the present work is that it takes the learner step by step through the whole gamut of percussive technology. The whole book is devoted to practical learning in graded stages. Each one of the seven Suladi Talas is studied in great detail in terms of Jatis and Gatis in all their permutations and combinations towards concluding passages (Mukthayas) calculated from various starting points.

This book will be of much help to both disciples and teachers of the percussive arts of Karnataka Music as well as performing vocalists and instrumentalists.
