Host: "So, what is Navarasa? Simply put, Navarasa refers to the 9 emotions or feelings that make us human. These emotions are: Sringara (love), Hasya (laughter), Karuna (compassion), Raudra (anger), Veera (courage), Bhayanaka (fear), Vibhatsa (disgust), Adbhuta (wonder), and Shantha (peace). These emotions are the foundation of human experience, and we experience them every day, often without even realizing it."
