Abstract
The present research article critically examines selected spiritually, ethically, and philosophically oriented Haryanvi Ragnis composed by Anand Kumar Ashodhiya within the thematic corpus identified as “Pedagogical Memorials and Vedantic Metaphysics.”
Employing an interdisciplinary methodological framework grounded in oral tradition studies, Pingal prosody, folk-performance theory, cultural semiotics, vernacular philosophical hermeneutics, and psychological literary criticism, the study explores how contemporary Haryanvi Ragni functions as a sophisticated oral-literary system preserving regional epistemology, ethical pedagogy, and performative spirituality.
The article analyses themes of guru-veneration, devotional consciousness, social ethics, cultural memory, Vedantic ontology, and moral selfhood through disciplined mātrā architecture, refrain systems, dialogic cadence, tonal gravity, symbolic metaphors, and orally adaptive rhythmic structures. Special analytical emphasis has been devoted to Lavani-Mishrit Samamatrik Chhand structures, Guru-Laghu sequencing, Yati placement, Bhakti aesthetics, Karuna, Shanta rasa, and refrain-oriented performative rhythm. The study further demonstrates that Pingal Shastra continues to function as an active structural force shaping emotional intensity, mnemonic continuity, and collective participation within oral-recitation traditions.
Ultimately, the article positions the Avikavani corpus as a significant contemporary contribution to North Indian folk poetics, ethical folk consciousness, performative philosophical literature, and vernacular knowledge systems.
Scholarly Context
This article forms an integral part of the ongoing scholarly research corpus on contemporary Haryanvi Ragni literature, Pingal Shastra, oral-performance traditions, and vernacular philosophical discourse by Anand Kumar Ashodhiya. Parallel investigations into Adharajan, Heer–Ranjha, and Bhagat Puranmal provide comparative paradigms for metric scansion, devotional aesthetics, and ethical selfhood in vernacular folk traditions.
