(sft ^iq^q-s^ I) *ra?r ssrenifSm mil llvii ,f%^ft * The Soviet Union THE BHAGAVADGlTA AND DR. RADHAKRISHNAN Dr. G. K. Bhat If the Gita takes the pride of place for man seeking a way towards betterment of human life, so does Dr. Radhakrishnan for thinkers in the east and the west, and especially for Indians. An Indian of remarkable pre-eminence, an intellectual politician, who rose to the rank of Presi- dent of a of Indian India, life-long Bhasyakara philosophy and religion, an thinker and a independent philosopher in his own right, Dr. Radha- krishnan could well be described as a sage of the twentieth century. Being also a Sanskritist, it would be interesting to see how Dr. Radhakrishnan looks upon the Glta and what it signifies, according to him, for mankind. Dr, Radhakrishnan's views on the Gita are expressed in his monu- mental volume on Indian and Philosophy, more elaborately, along with an English translation and notes, in his text-edition of the Gita (George Allen and Unwin Ltd., Great Britain), which was first published in 194 and has been reprinted several times. There is no dearth of books on the Gita, both of the text-interpreta- tive and of discursive and in type type, several languages beginning with the Sanskrit down to the present-day languages of India and of several countries. The comman other man worships the Gita as a Divine Mother, her as the nectar of and accepts teaching milk, milked for him by the Krsna from the cow of the Divine Upanisads. The intelligent man equally revers the Gita, but is sometimes puzzled by the inconsistent or confli- cting statements found in the Text, and then chooses to follow the lead of some Acarya, Bhasyakara or Interpreter. The scholar, with due reve- rence and devotion to this unique Text, enters still into a search for the original Gita and attempts to seek an explanation for the apparent contradictions and the mixture of diverse thought-currents that seem to exist in the Glta and that his intellectual approach refuses to slur over a mere of devotion. But by feeling then, we have several different views, of the Glta and interpretations from the old tradition of Sanskrit BhSsya- kafas like Sankaracarya, through Saint-philosophers like JrTanesvara, down to modern thinkers like Tilak or Mahatma Gandhi. Such a diver- sity of views among the intellectuals is a little bewildering to the common, man of the it intelligent world, although may not affect any one's, of reverence including that of the intellectuals and the scholars, feeling for and devotion to this unique Text. In What is Dr. Radhakrishnan's approach to this basic situation? academic and the first place, it is necessary to acknowledge, both in an intellectual way, the chroonological position that the Gita takes in the evolution of Indian thought, philosophical and religious. D. Radhakrishnan points out that, "The Bhagavadgita is later than the great movement represented by the early Upanisads and earlier than the period of the develop- ment of the philosophic systems and their formulation in sutras. From its archaic constructions and internal references, we may infer that it is definitely a work of the pre-Christian era. (fifth Century " B. C.) (Text ed. Inlr. p. 14). It is then clear, that the Gita cannot be read as an exposition of ;>. particular system of thought, nor can a philosophic system be imposed on it. The colophon at the end of every chapter indicates that the Gita is both and metaphysics etlucs-brahmavitlya and yogaSHslra, "the science of and the art of union with reality reality." But the teaching of the Gita is not presented as a metaphysical system thought out by an indivi- dual thinker or school of thinkers. "It is set forth as a tradition which has emerged from the religious life of mankind". Dr. Radhakrishnan tells us that "the different elements which, at the period of the of the were composition Gita, competing with each other within the Hindu System, are brought together and integrated into u comprehensive free and subtle synthesis, large, and profound. The teacher refines and reconciles the different currents of thought, the Vedic cult of sacrifice, the Upanisad of the teaching transcendent Brahman, the BhSga- vata theism and tender the piety, SSrhkhya dualism and the yoga medita- tion." (Ibid., pp. 13-14). In other the words, teacher of the Gita is 'a profound seer who sees truth in its many-sidedness and believes in its saving power. The Gita, thus, "represents not Sect of any Hinduism but Hinduism as a whole not Hinduism but .merely religion as in its such, universality, without lumt.of time or space, embracing with its synthesis the .whole of the gamut human spmt, from the crude fetishism of the savage to the creative affirmations of. the saint." (Ibid.,. p. 12) 'Understood in this light and on this chronological background the scholarly attempts to discover the old and the new in the G^the so called revision of the Gita by the doctrines of a particular system of thought, would appear to be not only irrelevant to the basic purpose of the Git it but merely intellectual exercises. For, if any mingling of the thought-currents of the was to be day done, and a refined, integrated syn- thesis was to be. worked out, it was done already by the author of the Gita. This should also mean that e w must accept the Gita as it is, as a whole, as "an organic unity" which draws and synthesises all the living elements of Hindu life and thought.

The eighth-century Indian tantric master Padmasambhava, famed siddha (!བ་ཐོབ།) of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism, has been the subject of decades of Western scholarship seeking to understand his place in the matrix of Tibetan history, culture, religion, and literature. This thesis contributes to that body of work by thematizing Padmasambhava’s gender as a key component in the development of his early myth in two formative narratives: Nyangrel Nyima Öser’s Copper Island Biography of Padmasambhava and Orgyen Lingpa’s The Testament of Padmasambhava. I draw upon Raewyn Connell’s concept of hegemonic masculinity to trace Padmasambhava’s gendered positionality in these early texts vis-à-vis his interactions and contestations with kings.

    Curriculum Vitae Name : Dr. Raghuvir Chaudhari Date of Birth : 1938 Address (Residential): A-6, Purneshwar Flats, Gulbai Tekra, Ahmedabad-380 015 Tel. No. : 9327726371 Website : http://iet.ahduni.edu.in/people-details/faculty- list/sanjay_chaudhary He did his M.A. in ‘Hindi language and literature’ from Gujarat University in 1962 and later obtained his Ph.D. from the same University in 1979. He retired on 15th June, 1998, as a Professor and Head of the Department of Hindi, Post-graduate School of Languages, Gujarat University. Eight students have obtained PhD degree under his guidance. Raghuveer Chaudhari had worked for adult-education in his village and also constructed a small library and a theatre for his school. During vacations, he used to work with social workers. He was very active in 'Navanirrnan Andolan' - an anti-corruption movement - against the State Government of Gujarat. With the same concern he had opposed ‘The Emergency’ which suppressed the freedom of expression in 1975. He was born and brought up in a religious family of farmers. His acquaintance with leading and devoted Gandhian friends as well as his farming background nourished the deep sense of social responsibility in him. This is the reason why his concept of modernism is different from those of his contemporaries. Raghuveer's talent was nurtured by the prose writings of Govardhanram Tripathi, Kaka Kalelkar, Suresh Joshi, Niranjan Bhagat and Priyakant Maniyar. He owes his early training to his teacher and friend Bholabhai Patel, a well-known scholar and man-of- letters in Gujarati. Later Raghuveer developed an interest in Hindi and Sanskrit studies.
