  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town

    In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town

    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.
  • The Decline of Buddhism in India

    The Decline of Buddhism in India

    The Decline of Buddhism in India It is almost impossible to provide a continuous account of the near disappearance of Buddhism from the plains of India. This is primarily so because of the dearth of archaeological material and the stunning silence of the indigenous literature on this subject. Interestingly, the subject itself has remained one of the most neglected topics in the history of India. In this book apart from the history of the decline of Buddhism in India, various issues relating to this decline have been critically examined. Following this methodology, an attempt has been made at a region-wise survey of the decline in Sind, Kashmir, northwestern India, central India, the Deccan, western India, Bengal, Orissa, and Assam, followed by a detailed analysis of the different hypotheses that propose to explain this decline. This is followed by author’s proposed model of decline of Buddhism in India. K.T.S. Sarao is currently Professor and Head of the Department of Buddhist Studies at the University of Delhi. He holds doctoral degrees from the universities of Delhi and Cambridge and an honorary doctorate from the P.S.R. Buddhist University, Phnom Penh.

  • The Apsidal Temple of Taxila

    The Apsidal Temple of Taxila

    T HE THE APSIDAL TEMPLE OF TAXILA: A TRADITIONAL HYPOTHESIS AND PSIDA L POSSIBLE NEW INTERPRETATIONS T EMP L E Luca Colliva O F T AXI L A The so called ‘apsidal temple’ of Sirkap is an imposing building belonging, according to Marshall, : T RADI to the Indo-Parthian period (Figure 1) (Marshall 1951, 150-151). It is built over an artificial terrace T facing the main street in the northern part of the town and was brought to light by John Marshall at IONA th the beginning of the last century after some minor excavations during the 19 century. Unlike his L H predecessors, who were very doubtful about its nature (Cunningham 1871, 126-128), Marshall identified YPO T this building as a Buddhist gr. ha-stūpa (Marshall 1930, 111; Marshall 1951, 150); this interpretation HESIS has indeed never been questioned and is accepted, also, in the last study on urban form in Taxila A (Coningham & Edwards 1998, 50). ND However, we cannot deem this attribution certain. No traces are detectable of the main stūpa P OSSIB Marshall recognises in the ‘circular room’ (Marshall 1951, 151). Besides, what Marshall describes as L E two additional stūpas are nothing but scanty remains of foundations belonging to two monuments N of uncertain nature. As I already pointed out in a more exhaustive way (Colliva in press), Marshall EW I was probably convinced that the apsidal shape of this building was enough to identify it as a N T Buddhist caitya. The discovery at Sonkh of an apsidal-shaped temple, probably dedicated to a nāga ERPRE cult, shows, on the contrary, that non-Buddhist religious buildings with an apsidal plan occur in T A T periods chronologically consistent with that of the “apsidal temple” of Sirkap (Härtel 1970; Härtel IONS 1993).

  • Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism

    Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism

    Personal Stories ... Responses to Shin Buddhism D.C., Missouri I have lived my entire life in the St. Louis area. My education includes a B.A. from Southern Illinois University in Government, History & Sociology and an M.A. from Webster University in Business Administration. I have worked since 1967 as an accountant, currently serving as Treasurer of a small manufacturing company in St. Louis. Our companies claim to fame is that our co-founder was T.S. Eliot's father. Although I have earned my living for thirty plus years as an accountant, my interest has always been in the area of comparative religion/sociology of religion. At age 40 I met and married a research nurse who is currently working with the department of Geriatrics for St Louis University Medical School. In 1986 after two years of marriage we became foster parents with the hope of eventually adopting. Finally in 1990, we were able to adopt three brothers-the three youngest of a sibling group of seven. The boys are now 12, 10 and 8. I was raised in a Southern Baptist church which I rejected in my early teens and have been searching since then for a satisfactory outlet for my religious impulses. I was always uncomfortable with the ideas of eternal punishment for people who did not belong to the right religion, with the idea that Jesus was God (in a unique way), with the idea of the inerrancy of the King James version of the bible, and the idea that all religions other than evangelical Protestant Christianity were totally wrong.
  • Spread of Buddhism in Ladakh (From 2 BCE to 9

    Spread of Buddhism in Ladakh (From 2 BCE to 9

    Spread of Buddhism in Ladakh (From 2nd BCE to 9th CE) Dr. Mohd Ashraf Dar Cont. Assistant Professor, Department of History, Cluster University, Srinagar Abstract: Jammu and Kashmir State of India is still a blooming orchard of Buddhism. In this paper an attempt has been made to analyse how Buddhism reached Ladakh and why it is flourishing there till date. Oral traditions have also been used in this study. During the course of present study, Interdisciplinary approach of research methodology has been applied. Key Words: Ladakh, Buddhism, Bon-chos, Lamaism, Tantra, Tibetan Buddhism Introduction: Buddhism as a new religion was born in India and soon became the faith of multitude especially in the Gangetic region. It got the patronage of some powerful monarchs especially Asoka Maurya and Kaniska . It is generally believed that Buddhism spread to the other regions of India as well as outside the India due to the zealous efforts of missionaries for which monasteries provided a strong base. Kashmir the immediate neighbor of Ladakh got the gospel of Buddha as depicted in some primary sources regarding the history of Kashmir like Rajtarangini as early as 2nd BCE. Kashmir remained the hub of Buddhism for next 11 centuries till it was ousted from Kashmir as from the other parts of India. Ladakh is perhaps the only region in India where Buddhism not only remained till date but flourished as well. It even was able to sustain itself after the introduction of Islam to this region by Syed Ali Hamdani. What matters most here is to know when and to whom was the gospel of Buddha preached in Ladakh.

  • The Bombing of Mumbai (1993)

    The Bombing of Mumbai (1993)

    EDITORIAL Fifty years ago, we the people boarded a bus called democracy. We put away our old things, packed our new bags and set off towards our destination. We were not traversing unmapped terrain; our vision was clear, our passion had a colour - a tricolour. Our journey was not uneventful; there were some smooth roads, there were many rough ones. Our vision got clouded along the way; we seemed to have lost our sense of direction. Disha is our attempt to take that journey kickstarted by a free India fifty years ago Disha explores the direction we chose to set out in, where we are today, and the turn this journey could take tomorrow. The articles look both backwards and forwards in time. 'Looking Glass' reflects where we are heading with the institutions of democracy such as law, the press, health and the economy today. 'Rear Window' takes a detour from the beaten track of history and gives those who may have been swallowed by its grand narrative a voice. "A sovereign socialist secular democratic republic" was our destination. Sometimes, it feels we have almost reached there, sometimes, it feels we are miles short of it. We may not have fulfilled the noble ideals enshrined in our Constitution. Yet, we chug on. Our belief that one day we shall reach our destination keeps us going. Along the way we discovered that our burning desire for freedom may have died down, our passion may have faded. But, it still remains. As a bumper sticker puts it : These colours don't run.
