Summary
Details

"This book shares a versatile music composition conveyed through the ""Subhavita Gita"" genre in the contemporary Sinhala music stream. The song trilogy, namely ""Anuraga Pushpaya"" (The Attached Mind), provides us with this unique opportunity to rekindle our aesthetic taste. Moreover, the mellifluous melodies of Dr Rohana Weerasinghe blended with the vocal prowess of Visharadha Amarasiri Peiris, Sashika Nisansala and Kasun Kalhara, respectively, have added soothing serenity to the songs. The symbolic use of language in the songs, coupled with the melodious rhythm with the excellent vocal presentation, eventually contributes to the ""Perceptive-Art"" music tradition of Sinhala. It reminds us of the salient features in Buddhist Psychology, ""that grasping or bonds we create (Upadana) leads to the deception of ""I and Mine"". It further reveals how one could be overwhelmed with material affection, viewing worthless or worthy of love. The songs question why detachment is impossible. In this limitless cycle of birth and death (Samsara), songs unveil a loving bond of delusion. An in-depth appreciation of the music trilogy reveals the salutary contribution made by the artists to promote and foster the ""Subhavita Gita"" or Perceptive-Art music tradition in Sinhala."
