It is a common word and name founded in various contexts in Edit links the ancient and medieval texts of India. Of these the most celebrated is the name of the gopi who was the beloved of Krishna. Both Radha and Krishna are the main characters of Gita Govinda of Jayadeva.[8] Radha in this context is considered the avatar of Lakshmi, just like Krishna is considered an avatar of Vishnu.[8] Similarly, In Hit Harivansh and Swami Haridas Literature, Radha is considered as the main form of deity. Here, Radha is not an avatar of Laxmi but another form of supreme god Shri Krishn Himself. In Devi Bhagvat and Brahma Vaibtra Purana, Radha is mentioned as the source of infinite Laxmi, Gopis, and mother of infinite souls. Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj (the 5th original Jagadguru) elaborately described the virtue of Radha and has given a brief description of Shri Radha in his lectures and Kirtans. He has said, "She is the Supreme Goddess and is worshipped by everyone including Godhead Shri Krishna himself and that's why she is called Radha; means one who is the form of worship." [8] The term is related to Rādha (Sanskrit: राध), which means "kindness, any gift but particularly the gift of affection, success, wealth". The word appears in the Vedic literature as well as the Epics, but is elusive and not as a major deity.[3] In some Vedic contexts, states Sukumar Sen, it could mean "beloved, desired woman" based on an Avestan cognate.[9] However, Barbara Stoller and other scholars disagree with the Avestan interpretation. They state that the better interpretation of Radha in these ancient texts is "someone or Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROWD something that fulfills a need".[10] Starting with the Bhakti movement and particularly with Jayadeva's composition, her profile as a goddess and constant companion of Krishna became dominant in Krishna-related Vaishnavism.[3] Rādhikā refers to an endearing form of Gopi Radha.[8] Description [ edit ] Radha is an important goddess in the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism. She is a goddess whose traits, manifestations, descriptions, and roles vary with region. Since the earliest times, she has been associated with one of the most popular Hindu gods, the cowherd Krishna.[2] In the early Indian literature, her mentions are illusive and not as common as other major goddesses of Hinduism, but during the Bhakti movement era she became popular among Krishna devotees whose strength is her love.[11] According to Jaya Chemburkar, there are at least two significant and different aspects of Radha in the literature associated with her, such as Sriradhika namasahasram. One aspect is she is a milkmaid (Gopi), another as a female deity similar to those found in the Hindu goddess traditions.[12] She also appears in Hindu arts as ardhanari with Krishna, that is an iconography where half of the image is Radha and the other half is Krishna. This is found in sculpture such as those discovered in Maharashtra, and in texts such as Shiva Purana and Brahmavaivarta Purana.[13] In these texts, this ardhanari is sometimes referred to as Ardharadhavenudhara murti, and it symbolizes the complete union and inseparability of Radha and Krishna.[13] Radha with Krishna, a 1915 painting. Radha's depictions vary from being an already married woman who becomes an adulterous lover of Krishna in a secondary role,[6] to being dual divinity equal to Krishna in Jayadeva's Gita Govinda, to being supreme object of devotional love for both Krishna and devotees in Rupa Gosvami's tradition.[2][11] In some Hindu sub-traditions, Radha is conceptualized as a goddess who breaks social norms by leaving her marriage, and entering into a relationship with Krishna to pursue her love.[6] According to Heidi Pauwels, it is a "hotly debated issue" whether Radha was already married or had an affair with Krishna while she remained married.[14] Several Hindu texts allude to these circumstances.[6] According to David Kinsley, a professor of Religious Studies known for his studies on Hindu goddesses, the Radha-Krishna love story is a metaphor for divine-human relationship, where Radha is the human devotee or soul who is frustrated with the past, obligations to social expectations and the ideas she inherited, who then longs for real meaning, the true love, the divine (Krishna). This metaphoric Radha Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROWD (soul) finds new liberation in learning more about Krishna, bonding in devotion and with passion.[6][15] Radha and Sita [ edit ] The popular Itihasas and other legendary literature of the Hindu traditions present two major Lakshmi avatars – Radha and Sita, and two major Vishnu avatars as their respective companions – Krishna in the Mahabharata and Rama in the Ramayana. The Radha-Krishna and Sita-Rama pairs represent two different personality sets, two perspectives on dharma and lifestyles, both cherished in the way of life called Hinduism.[16] Sita is traditionally wedded, dedicated, and virtuous wife of Rama, an introspective temperate paragon of a serious, virtuous man.[17][18][19] Radha is a lover of Krishna, a playful adventurer.[17][16] Radha and Sita offer two competing templates within the Hindu tradition.[16] If "Sita is a queen, aware of her social responsibilities", states Pauwels, then "Radha is exclusively focused on her Radha's story has inspired romantic relationship with her lover", giving two contrasting role models from two ends of the moral many paintings. Above: Radha waiting for Krishna by Raja Ravi universe. Yet they share common elements as well. Both love their man and their lives, both face life Varma. challenges, both are committed to their true love and both have been influential, adored and beloved goddesses in the Hindu culture. Therefore in their deepest meaning, when they are referred to each other; like Krsna and Rama, they will continue their " past life " and " fulfill their dharma " in this way. This is espeacially interesting in the spheres of astrology. [16][20] Influence [ edit ] See also: Radha Krishna In some devotional (bhakti) traditions of Vaishnavism that focus on Krishna, Radha represents "the feeling of love towards Krishna".[4] For some of the adherents of these traditions, her importance approaches or even exceeds that of Krishna. Radha is worshipped along with Krishna in Bengal, Assam and Odisha by Vaishnava Hindus. Elsewhere, such as with Visnusvamins, she is a revered deity.[21] She is considered to be his original shakti, the supreme goddess in both the Nimbarka Sampradaya and following the advent of Chaitanya Create PDF in your applications with the Pdfcrowd HTML to PDF API PDFCROWD Mahaprabhu also within the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.[4][5] Radha Chalisa mentions that Krishna accompanies one who chants " Radha" with pure heart.

  • Hindu Interpretation of Christ from Vivekananda to Radhakrishnan
    . Hindu Interpretation of Christ from Vivekananda to Radhakrishnan · BALWANT A.M. PARADKAR Th() purpose of this paper is not to furnish an exhaustive survey of Hindu interpretations of Chdst, but to view the high­ lights, particularly the interpretations of some leading and responsible Hindu figures whose views influence strong move­ ments1 in the ongoing Hindu renaissance. These . may be indicated as follows : I. Swami Vivekananda } II. Swanri AJdhilananda The Ramakrishna Mission III. Mahatma Gandhi . The Sarvodaya Movement IV. Bhai Manilal C. Parekh } v. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan New Hindu Secularism I Recent research has shown that Swami Vivekananda was much more indebted to tll.e Brahmo Samaj for his religious awakening than is commonly realized. It is from this contact that his warm appreciation of Christ is to be traced. It is signi­ ficant that -Swami Vivekananda inaugurated the Ramakrishna Mission. after his master's death, on Christmas Eve. But we touch the heart of Vivekananda's interpretation of Christ when we note three things. First, his approach to Christ was not that of a seeker but that of one who found satisfaction in philosophical-mystical Hinduism. Second, he is influenced by a certain historical scepticism, due apparently to being influenced by the Christ-myth speculation of the late nine.teenth century. Third, he viewed everything at all times from the angle ' In the period before us, there are two other outstanding names: Dr. Bhagavan Das of the Banaras Hindu University, and Shri Aurobindo of the Poridicherry Ashram. Neither of these ·gave much sustained atten­ tion to the Christ theme. Shri .Aurobindo's 'integralism' is of growing East-West significance.

Many thanks for remaining an awesome Hindu¼ Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates and Rahu kalam . {A point of note is when you see a * before a prayer date it means this is not in the general Hindu calendar that Hindus have in their homes. I have added these dates because these are equally important prayer dates} DO NOTE:- All times indicated below, associated with the start or end of a religious day are in 24-hour format.

By SRI SWAMI SIVANANDA SERVE, LOVE, GIVE, PURIFY, MEDITATE, REALIZE Sri Swami Sivananda So Says Founder of Sri Swami Sivananda The Divine Life Society A DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY PUBLICATION First Edition: 1992 Second Edition: 1994 (4,000 copies) World Wide Web (WWW) Reprint : 1997 WWW site: http://www.rsl.ukans.edu/~pkanagar/divine/ This WWW reprint is for free distribution © The Divine Life Trust Society ISBN 81-7502-104-1 Published By THE DIVINE LIFE SOCIETY P.O. SHIVANANDANAGAR—249 192 Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttar Pradesh, Himalayas, India. Publishers’ Note This book is a compilation from the various published works of the holy Master Sri Swami Sivananda, including some of his earliest works extending as far back as the late thirties. The questions and answers in the pages that follow deal with some of the commonest, but most vital, doubts raised by practising spiritual aspirants. What invests these answers and explanations with great value is the authority, not only of the sage’s intuition, but also of his personal experience. Swami Sivananda was a sage whose first concern, even first love, shall we say, was the spiritual seeker, the Yoga student. Sivananda lived to serve them; and this priceless volume is the outcome of that Seva Bhav of the great Master. We do hope that the aspirant world will benefit considerably from a careful perusal of the pages that follow and derive rare guidance and inspiration in their struggle for spiritual perfection. May the holy Master’s divine blessings be upon all. SHIVANANDANAGAR, JANUARY 1, 1993.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

    THE MAKING OF 9 REGIONAL CULTURES ne of the commonest ways of describing people Ois in terms of the language they speak. When we refer to a person as a Tamil or an Oriya, this usually means that he or she speaks Tamil or Oriya and lives in Tamil Nadu or Orissa. We also tend to associate each region with distinctive kinds of food, clothes, poetry, dance, music and painting. Sometimes we take these identities for granted and assume that they have existed from time immemorial. However, the frontiers separating regions have evolved over time (and in fact are still changing). Also, what we understand as ? regional cultures today are often the product of complex Find out how processes of intermixing of local traditions with ideas many states have from other parts of the subcontinent.

The Cheras and the Development of Malayalam Let us begin by looking at an example of the connection between language and region. The Chera kingdom of Mahodayapuram was established in the ninth century in the south-western part of the peninsula, part of present-day Kerala. It is likely that Malayalam was spoken in this area. The rulers introduced the Malayalam language and script in their inscriptions. In fact, this is one of the earliest examples of the use of a regional language in official records in the subcontinent.
