He is worshipped as the eighth avatar of the god Vishnu, as well as as the supreme God in his own right. He is the god of compassion, tenderness, love and is one of the most popular and revered among Indian deities. Krishna's birthday is celebrated every year by Hindus on the Janmasht lunar-solar Hindu calendar, which falls at the end of August or the beginning of September according to the Gregorian calendar. Krishna is usually depicted with a flute in her hand. Anecdotes and stories about Krishna's life are usually called Krishna Lila. He is the central character in Mahabharata, Bhagavata Purana and Bhagavad Gita, and is mentioned in many Hindu philosophical, theological and mythological texts. They portray him in different perspectives: a child god, a prankster, a model lover, a divine hero, and as a universal higher being. His iconography reflects these legends, and shows him at different stages of his life, such as a baby eating butter, a boy playing the flute, a boy with his beloved Radha or surrounded by devoted women, or a friendly chariot giving advice to Arjuna. Krishna's synonyms were associated with the literature of the 1st millennium BC. In some sub-traditions Krishna worshipped as Swayamu Bhagavan, and this is sometimes called Krishnaism. These sub-traditions originated in the context of the medieval Bhakti movement. [20] literature has inspired many performing arts such as Bharatanatyam, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Odissi and Manipuri Dance. He is a pan-Hindu god, but is especially revered in some places, such as Vrindawan in Uttar Pradesh, Dwanka and Junagad in Gujarat; Jagannathi in Odisha, Mayapur, West Bengal; as Vitoba in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, Nathdwar in Rajasthan; Udupi Krishna in Karnataka, Partasarathi in Tamil Nadu and Guruwayorappan in Guruwayor in the State. Since the 1960s, Krishna's worship has spread to both the Western world and Africa, largely thanks to the work of the International Krishna Consciousness Society (ISKCON). Names and epithets Main article: The list of names and names of Krishna The name Krishna comes from the Sanskrit word Krishna, which is primarily an adjective meaning black, dark, dark blue or all attractive. The descending moon is called Krishna Paksha, which refers to an adjective meaning darkness. The name is also sometimes interpreted as all attractive. As the name of Vishnu, Krishna is listed as the 57th name in Vishnu Sahasranama. Based on his name, Krishna is often portrayed in idols as black or blue-skinned. Krishna is also known by various other names, epithets and names that reflect his many associations and attributes. Among the most common names is Mohan' charmer; Govinda is the chief shepherd, Keev the joker, and Gopal's Defender Go, which means Soul or cow. Some of Krishna's names are of regional importance; Jagannath, found in the Hindu temple of Puri, is a popular incarnation in odisha state and the surrounding regions of eastern India. Krishna can also be called Vasudeva-Krishna, Murlidhar and Chakradhar. The honorary title Sri (also written Sri) is often used up to The Name of Krishna. The word Sri/Sri also means Radhu, who is considered an eternal spouse and a constant companion of Krishna. Bhagwata Purana in canto number 10 does not mention Radha directly by her name, but refers to her using various secondary names. This is because Sukadev Goswami, who told Srimad Bhagwat to King Parikshit for 7 days, was a great devotee of the goddess Radhi, and he would have gone into a trance for a long time if he had uttered the name Radha himself. A city called Barsana in Uttar Pradesh, India is considered the birthplace of Radharani. Names in different states krishna worship as: Krishna Kanhaiyya: Mathura Jagannath: Odisha Vitoba: Maharashtra Srinath: Rajasthan Dwarakadheesh: Gujarat Ranchhod: Gujarat Krishna: Udipi, Karnataka Historical and Literary Sources Tradition Krishna seems to be the unification of several independent deities of India, Vas tribe of Vrishnis, belonging to the heroes of Vrishni, whose worship was icing from the 5th-6th century BC in the writings of Panyini, and from the 2nd century BC in the epigraphy with the pillar of Heliodor. At some point in time, it is believed that the Vrishnis tribe merged with the Yadav tribe, whose own hero-god was named Krishna. Vasudeva and Krishna merged to become the single deity that appears in Mahabharata, and they begin to identify with Vishnu in Mahabharata and Bhagavad Gita. Around the 4th century AD, another tradition, the cult of Gopal Krishna, a protector of cattle, was also absorbed by the Tradition of Krishna. Early Epigraphic Sources Main article: Image of Vasudev-Krishna in coinage (II century BC) vasudev-Krishna, on the coin of Agattokla Bactria, circa 180 BC . Around 180 BC, the Indo-Greek King Agattocl issued several coins with images of deities that are now interpreted as related to the images of Weisnava in India. The deities displayed on the coins appear to be Saṃkarṣaṇa balarama with attributes consisting of mace and plough Gad, and Vasudev-Krishna with the attributes of Shanha (conjure) and the wheels of Sudarshan Chakra. According to Bopearachchi, the headdress on top of the deity is actually a distortion of the shaft with a crescent umbrella on top (chattra). The inscription Heliodorus Pillar in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, erected around 120 BC The inscription states that Heliodorus is Bhagwaten, and the verse in the inscription is closely paraphrasing the Sanskrit verse from Mahabharata. The Heliodor Pillar, a stone pillar with the inscription Brahmi, was discovered by colonial-era archaeologists in Beznagar (Vidisha, the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh). Based on the internal inscription evidence, it was dated between 125 and 100 BC, and is now known after Heliodorus - indo-Greek, who served as an ambassador for the Greek King Antialcidas to the regional Indian king Kasiputra Bhagabhadra. The inscription on the Heliodorus pillar is a private religious dedication of Heliodorus to Vasudev, an early deity and another name for Krishna in Indian tradition. It states that the column was built by Bhagavata Heliodor and that it is a Garuda pillar (both are terms associated with Vishnu-Krishna). In addition, the inscription includes a verse associated with Krishna, from chapter 11.7 of the Mahabharata, that the path to immortality and heaven is to live the life of three virtues correctly: self-moderateness (lady), generosity (kaga or tiaga) and vigilance (apramada). In the 1960s, archaeologists completely excavated the Heliodorus pillar. The effort showed the brick foundations A much larger ancient elliptical temple complex with a sanctuary, mandaps and seven additional pillars. The inscriptions on the Heliodorus pillar and the temple are some of the earliest known evidences of Krishna Vasudeva's devotion and Vaishnaviism in ancient India. Balarama and Krishna with their attributes in Chilas. Haroshi's inscription nearby reads Ramu Krinya. 1st century AD Vasudeva Anakaduubhi carried baby Krishna in a basket through the Yamuna. Around the 1st century AD, the temple of Gatashram Narayan. Museum of Matura. The inscription Heliodor is not an isolated proof. The inscriptions of Khachibad Gonsundi, located in the state of Rajasthan and dated to the modern methodology by the 1st century BC, mention the Saṃkarṣaṇa and Vasudev, also mention that the structure was built for their worship in connection with the supreme deity narayana. These four inscriptions are notable for being one of the oldest known Sanskrit inscriptions. The Mora stone slab, found at the Matura Vrindavan archaeological site in Uttar Pradesh, which is now in the Mathura Museum, bears Brahmi's inscription. It dates back to the 1st century AD and mentions five heroes of Vrishni, otherwise known as Saṃkarṣaṇa, Vasudeva, Pradumna, Anirudda and Samba. The inscriptions for Vasudeva begin in the 2nd century BC with the coinage of the agatoceles and the Heliodor pillar, but Krishna's name appears quite late in the epigraphy. The archaeological site Chilas II, dated the first half of the 1st century AD in northwestern Pakistan, near the border with Afghanistan, is engraved with two males along with many Buddhist images nearby. The large of the two males holds a plough and a club in two hands. The painting also has an inscription with it in The Harostian writing, which was deciphered by scientists as Rama-Krsna, and interpreted as an ancient depiction of the two brothers Balarama and Krishna. The first known depiction of Krishna's life comes relatively late with the relief found in Matura and dated to the 1st-2nd century AD. This fragment seems to show Vasudev, Krishna's father carrying a child to Krishna in a basket through Yamuna. Relief shows at one end of the seven-hood Naga crossing the river, where Makar's crocodile is thrashing around, and at the other end a man is seemingly holding a basket over his head.

  • SUNGA and KANVA DYNASTY Sunga Empire (187 to 78 BCE)
    SUNGA AND KANVA DYNASTY Sunga Empire (187 to 78 BCE) Pushyamitra Sunga (187–151 BCE): The dynasty was established by Pushyamitra Sunga, after the fall of the Maurya Empire (when the emperor Brihadratha, the last of the Mauryan rulers, was assassinated by the then Senapati of the Mauryan armed forces, Pushyamitra Sunga). Its capital was Pataliputra, but later emperors such as Bhagabhadra also held court at Besnagar, modern Vidisha in Eastern Malwa. The empire of Pushyamitra was extended up to Narmada in the south, and controlled Jalandhar and Sialkot in the Punjab in the north-western regions, and the city of Ujjain in central India. The Kabul Valley and much of the Punjab passed into the hands of the Indo-Greeks and the Deccan to the Satavahanas. Origin Patanjali in his Mahabhashya and Panini in his Ashtadhyayi clearly states Pushyamitra Sunga was a Brahmin from Bhardwaj Gotra. The meaning of “Sunga” is the fig tree in Sanskrit. So Sungas took their dynastic name from the fig tree. (Other example of Indian dynasties like Kadamba (a tree name) of Banavasi, Pallava(Sanskrit word for “branch and twig”) of Kanchi who took their dynastic name from tree.) Prosecution of Buddhists? It believed by some historians to have persecuted Buddhists and contributed to a resurgence of Brahmanism that forced Buddhism outwards to Kashmir, Gandhara and Bactria. The earliest reference to persecution of Buddhists by Pushyamitra Sunga is from the Sarvastivadin Buddhist text of 2nd Century CE, Divyavadana and its constituent part, the Ashokavadana.Tibetan Buddhist Historian Taranatha also mentions proscution. Pushyamitra Sunga might have withdrawn royal patronage of Buddhist institutions.

  • Dwaraka Lila of Lord Krishna
    Dwaraka Lila of Lord Krishna Venue: Pune Occasion: 14th Bhagvat Katha- Day 4 Date: 28 December 2015, Dwarakadhish ki …..jai Srila Prabhupada gave us Bhagvat and taught us “nityam bhagvat sevaya”. Bhagvat sravanam is not to be done for just 7 days but like Parikshit maharaja heard it continuously for 7 days. His death was destined in 7 days and we say our death also is destined in seven days Sunday.. Monday …Saturday, one day in a week. So in ISKCON Srila Prabhupada gave us seva of “nityam bhagvat sevaya”. In every temple every day we have Bhagvat sravan every day one slok is discussed. So you also by hearing for 7 days you will also get addicted to hearing Bhagvat, for example alcoholic keeps on drinking and says “jina to kaya jina pine ke bina”. Like that by regularly hearing Bhagavat we will get addicted and one day will come we will not be able to live without “Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. One man used to say I will read Bhagvat tomorrow, I will read Bhagvat tomorrow ….and tomorrow as no end. Lord is bakebihari he is not straight, Lord Krishna is given the name Tribhanga Lalit, he whose body assumes a beautiful threefold bending form. So it’s very difficult to make Him enter our heart but once He enters then it’s very difficult to remove Him, as He is Tribhanga. So first day we had Bhagvat katha we heard about glories of Prabhupada, he is himself Bhagvat .

Introduction Epigraphical documents (i.e. inscriptions found on stones and copper plates) are the most important source for the historical period. However, the data from the inscriptions cannot be used in isolation or in a selective manner and the dataset needs to be analysed collectively and correlated with literature, archaeology, art historical vestiges, languages and oral traditions, for a better understanding of history. In the earlier module, we exclusively focused on how epigraphy is useful for the reconstruction of the political history. In this module, let’s look into how epigraphy is useful for understanding the social, economic and cultural history of India. As students of history, you need to look at the inscriptions and the dataset that they offer, very critically. By carefully reading the inscriptions and understanding the meanings of the words, the multiple dimensions of history can be brought to light.

  • Discernment: the Message of the Bhagavad-Gita
    Acta Theologica 2013 Suppl 17: 271-290 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/actat.v32i2S.14 ISSN 1015-8758 © UV/UFS <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaTheologica> K. Perumpallikunnel DISCERNMENT: THE MESSAGE OF THE BHAGAVAD-GITA ABSTRACT The Bhagavad-Gita is an intelligent response to a perennial human predicament which other religions and philosophies also tried to resolve in their own way. Human beings often stood perplexed and mystified as they confronted paradoxical situations in life that demanded action. Discerning right from wrong often became an existential predicament. The Pandava prince Arjuna found himself standing on the shaky ground of Kurukshetra not knowing the way forward. Lord Krishna outlines for him the path towards gaining flawless self-knowledge and self-mastery from his sorrowful state of confusion and opened his eyes to perceive the truths beyond appearances. Krishna instructs him that, when a person is capable of watching everything that happens within and around him dispassionately and acting with an attitude of detachment, he attains sthithaprajna (equanimity) and samadhai (liberation). 1. INTRODUCTION The subject matter of the Bhagavad-Gita (The song of God) is nothing other than discernment (Ramacharaka 2010:3). According to the Gita, discernment is all about nityanithya vastu viveka (discernment of the eternal and temporal realities) (Kaji 2001:27). Lord Krishna, the supreme Guru, tutors his confused disciple, Arjuna, to lead him from the state of maya (illusion) to the perfect understanding of satyasya satyam (really real). Krishna outlines for Arjuna the path towards gaining flawless self- knowledge and self-mastery from his sorrowful state of confusion (1:47).
