  • Praktiser De Menneskelige Værdier Af Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
    Dato : 22. november 2006. Sted : Prasanthi Nilayam. Anledning : Åbningstale på Sathya Sai’s internationale sportscenter. Ordliste : De danske ord der er understreget i teksten, er at finde i ordlisten. Disse danske ord er oversættelser af sanskrit-ord, som også nævnes i ordlisten. Dette giver læseren mulighed for selv at undersøge sanskrit-ordenes dybere betydning. Praktiser de menneskelige værdier af Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Nu til dags føler mennesket sig stolt over, at han behersker mange grene inden for viden, og at han har studeret mange emner. Men mennesket forsøger ikke at forstå uddannelsens inderste væsen. I vore dage er lærdom begrænset til blot at omfatte fysiske og verdslige aspekter, og moralske, etiske og åndelige aspekter tilsidesættes. I dag gør forældre sig ihærdige anstrengelser for at skaffe deres børn en uddannelse. Men ingen prøver at forstå uddannelsens sande betydning. Folk tror, at de der kan tale meningsfuldt og sigende, og som har studeret mange bøger, er yderst veluddannede. Men sandheden er, at det blot viser, at de har viden om alfabetet og intet andet. Ren og skær viden om alfabetet kan ikke kaldes uddannelse. Udover at have kendskab til bogstaver, er man nødt til at kende betydningen af de ord og sætninger, som bogstaverne sammensætter. Idet han var klar over denne sandhed, indkaldte kong Krishnadevaraya til et stort møde. Han rejste et spørgsmål over for de forsamlede digtere og lærde. Til stede i denne forsamling var også otte berømte digtere fra Krishnadevaraya’s hof. De var kendt som Aashta diggajas. De var: Allasani Peddana, Nandi Thimmana, Madayyagari Mallana, Dhurjati, Ayyalaraju Ramabhadrudu, Pingali Surana, Ramarajabhushanudu og Tenali Ramakrishna.

T Guest Lecturer in English MPMMSN Trusts College, Shoranur It is a quintessential human nature to compare, contrast and weigh the value of anything in the world. Perhaps it is our need to put order into an otherwise chaotic life that drives us to categorize everything. Our culture, tradition, art and literature are not exempted from this grading process. Thus it is quite natural that children’s literature got relegated to the peripheries of mainstream literature. This marginalization is universal and Malayalam literature too avoided it as trivial and childish. But now a days Children’s literature is gaining popularity in academic circles with many a scholars opening up new areas of researches in the field. Thus it would be meaningful to trace the trajectory of poems for children in Malayalam literature. A child’s acquaintance with poetry starts from the womb itself. This grows into much stronger relation as he/she is tucked into sleep with sweet lullabies by mother. Thus poetry is the first literature presented to a child.Offering comfort and happiness in rhythm and sounds these verses prepare the developing minds to receive longer forms of literature. But still there are debates regarding the characteristics of verses that can be categorized as children’s poems.

  • The Miracle of Self Realization: Why God, Guru and the Self Are One and the Same?
    WORKING PAPER NO: 434 The Miracle of Self Realization: Why God, Guru and the Self are One and the Same? Ramnath Narayanaswamy Professor Economics & Social Science Indian Institute of Management Bangalore Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore – 5600 76 Ph: 080-26993137 [email protected] Year of Publication -November 2013 The Miracle of Self Realization: Why God, Guru and the Self are One and the Same? Abstract This contribution is rooted in Indian spirituality, more specifically in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta or the philosophy of non-dualism. In this paper, an attempt is made to outline the biggest miracle of all, namely, the miracle of self realization. In Indian spirituality, it constitutes the very purpose of our birth as human beings. This purpose lies in self revelation and if this is not successfully pursued then the current life is said to have been wasted from a spiritual point of view. We discuss three concepts that are central to Indian spirituality. These include, God, Guru and the Self. Our purpose is to demonstrate that all three terms designate one Reality. We anchor ourselves on the pronouncements of Sri Ramana Maharishi, who was one of the greatest sages of India, who left his mortal coil in the last century. For this purpose, we have selected some excerpts from one of the most celebrated works in Ramana literature known as Talks which was put together by Sri Mungala Venkatramiah and subsequently published by Sri Ramanasramam in Tiruvannamalai. It is a veritable Bible for Ramana devotees and widely regarded as such. The central challenge in all management is realizing the nature of oneself.

The old South Boston Aquarium stands in a Sahara of snow now. Its broken windows are boarded. So modern poetry is essentially a private art form and it contains very much a story of individual poets. The most striking thing in twentieth-century English literature is the revolution in poetic taste and practice.
