Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject South Asian Studies, South-Eastern Asian Studies, National University of Singapore (Asian Research Institute), language: English, abstract: Rasa (flavor , sentiments , aesthetic delight , flavor of mood , taste, feeling ) is the principle which encompasses the entire body of Indian literature. Although other literary theories such as Dhvani (suggestion, implication), Alankara (figure of speech) are also important terms of Indian aesthetics and poetics, these theories either originated in Rasa or appear in conjunction with it. Rasa is typical of both Indian poetics and Eastern poetics. As one type of Eastern poetics, Rasa can be used to enrich Vietnamese poetics and literary theory, which now is mainly preoccupied with Western viewpoints. In addition, Indian culture has had significant influence on Vietnamese culture, as a result Buddhism is present in all of Vietnam, and Hinduism in Cham and Khmer areas .
