Worshipping Sri Krishna, Ganesha, Kartikeya and Devi as a child is a Puranic tradition. Prahlada, Dhruva, Jnanasambandha, Adi Shankara, Lava and Kusha and a number of child prodigies find place in our history and mythology. India has a special way of looking at the factors that go to make a healthy child. Pre-Natal and Post-Natal samskaras (rituals) help children grow healthily in the physical, emotional, social and spiritual spheres. In free India, education, nutrition and health programmes for children, special opportunities for their growth and for nurturing their talents have grown. Child prodigies, special children, girl children etc. receive focussed attention. Child labour problems, partly true, partly exaggerated, have caught the attention of the media. What prospects does the future India hold for its children, interms of environmental cleanliness, job, educational and employment opportunities and health facilities? All these topics are sought to be dealt with, in the forthcoming issue of the Vivekananda Kendra Patrika 9 VIVEKANANDA KENDRA PATRIKA INDEX FOR ADVERTISERS 1 Agarwal Bhavan, ------------------------------------------------------------------- 05 2 Amrutanjan Ltd., -----------------------------------------------------------------246 3 Assab Sripad Steels Ltd., --------------------------------------------------------216 4 Brihans Natural Products -------------------------------------------------------213 5 City Union Bank Ltd -------------------------------------------------------------215 6 Deejay Plastics Pvt.Ltd. ----------------------------------------------------------- 03 7 Entyce Textile Corporation------------------------------------------------------240 8 G.Pulla Reddy Sweets, ------------------------------------------------------------ 10 9 Ganesh Investments --------------------------------------------------------------245 10 Hyderabad Industries Ltd., -----------------------------------------------------215 11 Indian Leaf Tobacco Dev.Dir ---------------------------------------------------243 12 J & J Dechane ---------------------------------------------------------------------242 13 Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd., -----------------------------------------------------211 14 Kothari Phytochemicals International ----------------------------------------210 15 Kumar Properties -----------------------------------------------------------------212 16 Lakshmi General Finance Ltd., ------------------------------------------------- 04 17 Lakshmi Seva Sangam -----------------------------------------------------------214 18 Lakshmi Vilas Bank Ltd. --------------------------------------------------------241 19 Larsen & Toubro Ltd -------------------------------------------------------------- 07 20 MADRAS CEMENTS------------------------------------------------ 2ND WRAPPER 21 Mangalore Ganesh Beedi Works ------------------------------------------------ 06 22 Sales Service Co. -------------------------------------------------------------------209 23 Sharon Veeners Ltd. --------------------------------------------------------------248 24 Shree Vasundra Textiles----------------------------------------------------------243 25 SOFIL Information Systems ----------------------------------------------------245 26 Southern Electriks, ----------------------------------------------------------------180 27 Sundaram Finance Ltd., ---------------------------------------------------------- 02 28 Sundram Clayton Ltd. -----------------------------------------------------------244 29 TVS Sundaram Motors, ---------------------------------------------------------- 78 30 Ucal Fuel Systems Ltd. -----------------------------------------------------------148 Published by N Viswanath on behalf of Vivekananda Kendra from 5, Singarachari Street, Triplicane, Chennai-5.

  • Arun Kolatkar's Sarpa Satra
    Research Journal of English Language and Literature (RJELAL) Vol.1.Issue.3.;2013 A Peer Reviewed International Journal - http://www.rjelal.com ISSN 2321 – 3108 RESEARCH ARTICLE REVISITING THE MAHABHARATA: ARUN KOLATKAR’S SARPA SATRA BALKRISHNA MAGADE, M.A., M. Phil. Assistant Professor, Department of English, Kisan Veer Mahavidyalaya, Wai, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT The present paper is an attempt to examine Arun Kolatkar’s revisit to the epic The Mahabharata in his poem Sarpa Satra (2004). Kolatkar’s poem demythifies two myths: the ‘Khandava Forest’ in which the incineration of Khandava Forest was carried out by Krishna and Arjuna with their divine weapons and also the ‘Snake Sacrifice’ where king Janamejaya decides to avenge the assassination of his father Parikshita by the snake Takshaka by performing the Snake Sacrifice, which would drive all the snakes in the world and kill them in the sacrificial fire called Sarpa Satra. The poet questions the moral authority of the ruler whose irrational action becomes ‘cause for concern indeed for the future of the country in question’. Such a ruler who brings the betterment of the country in danger is fit either for punishment or banishment. The poet further exposes the rampant corruption, mindless violence in the form of commercial riots and a swarm of disruptive BALKRISHNA MAGADE activities that go non-stop in all parts of India. The burning of the Khandava Forest Article Info: by Lord Krishna and Arjuna leads to a severe ecological loss: ‘---nothing was left, Article Received:06/08/2013 not a trace of that great sanctuary---’ (p. 43).

I did not make use of another student’s previous work and I submit this as my own words. 4. I did not allow anyone to copy this work with the intention of presenting it as their own work. I, John Derrick Whitehead hereby declare that the following Dissertation is my own work and that I duly recognized and listed all sources for this study. Date: 3 December 2019 Student number: u12083802 __________________________ 2 Foreword I started my MTh and was unsure of a topic to cover. I knew that Hinduism was the religion I was interested in. 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.

The most sacred of all creations of God in the human life and it has two aspects- one biological and other sociological. If nutrition and reproduction maintain and transmit the biological aspect, the sociological aspect is transmitted by education. Man is primarily distinguishable from the animals because of power of reasoning. Man is endowed with intelligence, remains active, original and energetic. Man lives in accordance with his philosophy of life and his conception of the world. Human life is a priceless gift of God. But we have become sheer materialistic and we live animal life. It is said that man is a rational animal; but our intellect is fully preoccupied in pursuit of materialistic life and worldly pleasures. Our senses and objects of pleasure are also created by God, hence without discarding or condemning them, we have to develop ( Bhav Jeevan) and devotion along with them.

During day long Pravachan Swamiji narrated 2 special stories. The first one was about Ganga, and why we pour water on top of Shiva Linga and the second one about Bhasmasura. King Sagar performed powerful Ashwamedha Yagna (Horse sacrifice) to prove his supremacy. Lord Indra, leader of the Demi Gods, fearful of the results of the yagna, stole the horse. He left the horse at the ashram of Kapila who was in deep meditation. King Sagar's 60,000 sons (born to Queen Sumati) and one son Asamanja (born to queen Keshini) were sent to search the horse.
