Wilkinson: Configurations of the Indic States System 63 CONFIGURATIONS OF THE INDIC STATES SYSTEM David Wilkinson In his essay "De systematibus civitatum," Martin Wight sought to clari- fy Pufendorfs concept of states-systems, and in doing so "to formulate some of the questions or propositions which a comparative study of states-systems would examine." (1977:22) "States system" is variously defined, with variation especially as to the degrees of common purpose, unity of action, and mutually recognized legitima- cy thought to be properly entailed by that concept. As cited by Wight (1977:21-23), Heeren's concept is federal, Pufendorfs confederal, Wight's own one rather of mutuality of recognized legitimate independence. Montague Bernard's minimal definition—"a group of states having relations more or less permanent with one another"—begs no questions, and is adopted in this article. Wight's essay poses a rich menu of questions for the comparative study of states systems. -

Reproduction or use of editorial or pictorial content in any manner without written permission is prohibited. Introduction t its heart, hatha yoga is more than just flexibility or strength in postures; it is the management of prana, the vital life force that animates all levels of being. Prana enables the body to move and the mind to think. It is the intelligence that coordinates our senses, and the perceptible manifestation of our higher selves. By becoming more attentive to prana—and enhancing and directing its flow through the Apractices of hatha yoga—we can invigorate the body and mind, develop an expanded inner awareness, and open the door to higher states of consciousness. The yoga tradition describes five movements or functions of prana known as the vayus (literally “winds”)—prana vayu (not to be confused with the undivided master prana), apana vayu, samana vayu, udana vayu, and vyana vayu. These five vayus govern different areas of the body and different physical and subtle activities. -

Né Pour Briller, Né Pour Réussir Avec Une Maîtrise Parfaite, Le Pr. Lal
Né pour briller, né pour réussir Avec une maîtrise parfaite, le Pr. Lal insère des explications dans le texte même, s’épargnant ainsi les notes. Critique, par Pradip Bhattacharya. Le Mahabharata de Vyasa. Le Karna Parva (livre de Karna), transcréé du sanskrit par le Pr Lal, Writers Workshop, Rps 1000 (broché). Tirage spécial en 50 exemplaires numérotés, avec un frontiscipe original peint à la main, Rps 2000. La bataille du Kurukshetra présente un double point fort : le duel Karna-Arjuna et la confrontation finale Bhima-Duryodhana. Nous arrivons au troisième livre de la bataille, l’ancienne génération est tombée ; et en même temps qu’elle, ses obsessions. La soif de revanche de Drupada sur Bhishma et Drona a été assouvie par deux de ses fils, engendrés dans ce but. Avant d’être décapité, Drona tue deux des principaux alliés des Pandava : Drupada et Virata. L’ancien Bahlika, Bhagadatta, Bhurishrava – tous sont tués. Rien ne fait plus obstacle au désir de Duryodhana de nommer Karna commandant en chef, un désir auquel il avait dû renoncer par deux fois. Bien que Karna ait fui au moins par trois fois du champ de bataille durant le commandement de Drona, Duryodhana s’accroche à son invincibilité avec une foi aveugle, avec le désespoir d’un homme qui se noie. Le lecteur notera un trait unique du style du Pr. Lal dans sa transcréation : l’utilisation de doublets chaque fois que Vyasa n’emploie pas le nom usuel d’un personnage. Ainsi, avec une maîtrise parfaite, il insère des explications dans le texte même, s’épargnant les notes. -

Keywords: ayurveda, agni, dosha, dhatu, mala INTRODUCTION The Ayurvedic concept of agni is critically important to our overall health. Agni is the force of intelligence within each cell, each tissue and every system within the body. -

Introduction to Avatara(Incornation) The word 'avatara' means 'one who descends' (from Sanskrit avatarati). The descents of Vishnu from Vaikuntha to earth are his avatars or incarnations. The form in each time he descents will be different because the needs of the world each time are different. The different avatars thus balances and reinforce the dharma that rules and regulations that maintain order. They are harmed when the demands of evil clash with the good for order. As man's understanding of the world changes, desires change and so do concepts of order.. Social stability and peace on the earth must not be compromised, yet new ideas that are good for mankind must be respected. Vishnu's descents are not just about The word specifically refers to one who descends from the spiritual sky. The word 'incarnation' is can also mean as 'one who assumed flesh body’ 2. -
The Brahma Purana
THE BRAHMA PURANA In the forest known as naimisharanya. The sages (maharshis) arranged for a sacrifice (yajna) in this forest and the ceremony went on for twelve years. Naimisharanya forest was a wonderful place to arange sacrifices in. The climate was pleasant. There were trees full of flowers and fruit. There was no shortange of food in the forest, and animals, birds and sages lived there happily. Many sages ame to attend the sacrifice that had been arranged in naimisharanya. With them was Romaharshana (alternatively Lomaharshana). Vedavyasa’s disciple. Vedavyasa had instructed this disciple of his in the knowledge of the Puranas. The assembled sages worshipped the learned Romaharshana and said, Please tell us the stories of the Puranas. Who created the universe, who is its preserver and who will destroy it? Please instruct us in all these mysteries. Romaharshana replied, Many years ago, Daksha and the other sages had asked Brahma these very questions. I have learnt about Brahma’s replies from my guru (teacher) Vedvyasa. I will relate to you what I know. In the beginning , there was water everywhere and the brahman (the divine essence) slept on this water in the form of Vishnu. Since water is called nara and since ayana means a bed, Vishnu is known as Narayana. In the water there emerged a golden egg (anda). Brahma was born inside the egg. Since he created himself, he is called Svayambhu, born (bhu) by himself (svayam). For one whole year, Brahma lived inside the egg. He then split the egg into two and created heaven (svarga) and the earth (prithivi) from the two parts of the egg.
