Mahabharata says that Dwarka had royal palaces, all constructed with crystal and silver and decorated with emeralds. The city was connected by an elaborate system of boulevards, roads, market places, assembly houses and temples. These legends have been etched into the Indian minds for so long that their authenticity is not questioned. Luckily, due to the grace of the marine archaeological department of India, the childhood stories have come to be a reality to a great extent. Marine archaeological explorations have thrown light on a number of structures of different shapes, stone anchors and other artefacts. The exploration has found sandstone walls, a grid of streets and remains of a sea port, some 70 feet beneath the sea. The evidence points to the fact of the existence of a city some 9,000 years ago. According to them this was one of the most important and busy ports during Puranic and historical periods. The detailed exploration and excavation of this sunken city was started in 1988 with certain goals and results in mind: The explorations were extended up to the Temple of Samudra Narayan (Sea God), which is at the confluence of the Gomti River with the sea, in order to trace the extent of the port city and the purpose behind the massive stone walls built on the banks of the ancient Gomati River. Whether the architectural features were in conformity to the ones described in Mahabharat. 1. Pillars of the ancient city of Dwarka 2. Digitized image of the sunken city of Dwarka Ganesh Chaturthi and the Significance of Ganesh Visarjan: Ganesh Chaturthi falls on the fourth day after the new moon in the month of Bhadrapada. It is celebrated for 11 days, with the biggest spectacle taking place on the last day. People bring home clay Ganapatis (beautifully crafted by artisans) and set up on their altar. It is believed during these 10 days of puja, the deity is invoked as the harbinger of good luck, success and prosperity. Devotees bring Lord Ganesh home so that he can bless them and celebrate his homecoming with much grandeur. On the 11th day, called Anant Chaturdashi day, or Ganesh Visarjan day, Ganapati is taken in a procession (with pomp and splendor) for immersion in a body of water (river, lake or ocean). Lord Ganapati is believed to leave for Mount Kailasha along with all the misfortunes of his devotees and shower blessings on them. The devotees then are able to channel their devotion and prayer before the deity returns back. This practice also serves as a subtle reminder to the devotee about the transitory nature of life and how our physical form is returned to the elements after death.

Dr. Sukdaven suggested that I embark on the study of the concept of Maya. Although this concept provided a challenge for me and my faith, I wish to thank Dr. Sukdaven for giving me the opportunity to cover such a deep philosophical concept in Hinduism. This concept Maya is deeper than one expects and has broaden and enlightened my mind. Even though this was a difficult theme to cover it did however, give me a clearer understanding of how the world is seen in Hinduism. 3 List of Abbreviations AD Anno Domini BC Before Christ BCE Before Common Era BS Brahmasutra Upanishad BSB Brahmasutra Upanishad with commentary of Sankara BU Brhadaranyaka Upanishad with commentary of Sankara CE Common Era EW Emperical World GB Gitabhasya of Shankara GK Gaudapada Karikas Rg Rig Veda SBH Sribhasya of Ramanuja Svet.

  • Srimath Vedanta Desika and His Land of Glory

    Srimath Vedanta Desika and His Land of Glory

    SRIMATH VEDANTA DESIKA AND HIS LAND OF GLORY [C.R. DESIKAN, B. Sc., Tiruvaheendirapuram] On this 701st birth - year of Srimad Vedanta Desika, the greatest of gurus after Sri Bhagavad Ramanuja, the entire religious world of vaishnavism, has a right to rejoice and celebrate. Why? The cause is not unknown. For any doubt in sri bashya or any scripture text. We can find the answers in one of the several treatises of this great acharya. During the marriage ritual, the kanya dana mantra is repeated thus: "for the benefit of seven generations before, seven generations after me and me included, I am performing this gift." the life of an individual as given in Vedas is hundred years. On that basis one hundred years will be equal to one generation. Thus we have seen that this year heralds the eighth generation of the great preceptor. [Seven generations are over now.] Born at kancheepuram, this acharya learnt all his religious teachings from his uncle "Appullar". In his "sankalpa suryodaya", this acharya speaks of himself as "one who has recited the Sri Bhashya of Sri Ramanuja thirty times over." This piece of information is significant. His ability to master all the subjects taught so early in life, shows him as a prodigy. Having learnt, he wanted to acquire grace and spiritual powers. For this, he undertook a penance at the top of the small hill at Thiruvaheendrapuram. After some period of penance, the acharya was blessed with a "darsan" Sri Garuda Bhagawan, who in turn, have upadesam of Sri Hayagriva mantra and also presented him with an idol of this manifestation of god.
