  • RETURN to VAIDYGRAMA, Ayurveda Healing Village 2016-2017 It Was a Thankfully Uneventful Journey from Delhi Where I Awoke on Dec
    RETURN TO VAIDYGRAMA, Ayurveda Healing Village 2016-2017 It was a thankfully uneventful journey from Delhi where I awoke on Dec. 14, the day long planned for me to arrive at Vaidyagrama for the second time of my life. Touching down at Coimbatore airport just before sunset felt indeed like a type of coming home, though I’ve only been here once before – last year when I accompanied a small group of patients from the US & Canada for an experimental experience of ‘authentic panchakarma’. For years, I had searched for a suitable place to give westerners confidence in traveling all the way to India, effectiveness of treatments and a learning experience for all levels of commitment to Ayurveda. The investment is perhaps a third that in north America, so the 41-day classical program was out of reach for me and others who wanted/needed a longer rejuvenation program. Here, however, it’s feasible and moreover compelling, I feel. Right away on stepping off the aircraft, the air was warm and tropically humid, certainly compared to the cold of Delhi and more so to the cold of Surrey, presently under snow! My taxi driver remembered me and my family details, the doctor was present to greet me at the splendid entrance to the hospital campus and the walk to my same room was like returning to my childhood bedroom. This time, though, pink hibiscus flowers were laid out for my welcome – oh, the sweetness! Last year it was all new to me – how does the shower function? (then I’d learned the water heating system is entirely solar powered here, as a model of green, sustainable development).

Kerala has a composite and cosmopolitan culture which was the contribution of several people and races. When we analyse the cultural history of Kerala we can see the importance of temple art forms. These art forms cater the entertainment of upper castes, mainly Brahmins and Kshatriyas. Kuthu , Krishnanattam, Kathakali and Koodiyattam were the products of this culture. This cultural phenomenon reflects the style of life of the people and it also affects the ‘economic culture’ of the people of Kerala. Krishnanattam- Glances across ,the screen An analysis, of the Divine Divine Dance, Drama under ,the Rubric ,of Cultural Economics. INTRODUCTION on eight successive nights. On the ninth day ‘Avatharam’ was to be presented again and to end the series auspiciously. The importance of this art form in Guruvayoor temple has been attributed to the fact that, it is considered as a prime form of offering Krishnanattam under the rubric of Cultural Economics: by the devotees to the ‘God Krishna’ for the fulfillment of their As Du Mount states, there is a definite relationship between caste and wishes. Krishnanattam, though it owes its origin to ‘Koodi- yattam’, occupation, eventually contributed to the stability of caste system the earliest art form of the dance drama traditions of Kerala, is which is a major hazard in the way of social mobility.

Verse 67 : From text such as "You are that Being," which remove the desire for further inquiry, certain knowledge about the inward Self does arise, and this [knowledge] cannot be obtained from other sources.

  • Chapter Iv Traces of Historical Facts From
    CHAPTER IV TRACES OF HISTORICAL FACTS FROM SANDESAKAVYAS & SHORT POEMS Sandesakavyas occupy an eminent place among the lyrics in Sanskrit literature. Though Valmiki paved the way in the initial stage it was Kalidasa who developed it into a perfect form of poetic literature. Meghasandesa, the unique work of Kalidasa, was re- ceived with such enthusiasam that attempts were made to emulate it all over India. As result there arose a significant branch of lyric literature in Sanskrit. Kerala it perhaps the only region which produced numerous works of real merit in this field. The literature of Kerala is full of poems of the Sandesa type. Literature can be made use of to yield information about the social history of a land and is often one of the main sources for reconstructing the ancient social customs and manners of the respective periods. History as a separate study has not been seriously treated in Sanskrit literature. Apart form literary merits, the Sanskrit literature of Kerala contains several historical accounts of the country with the exception of a few historical Kavyas, it is the Sandesakavyas that give us some historical details. Among the Sanskrit works, the Sandesa Kavya branch stands in a better position in this field (matter)Since it contains a good deal of historical materials through the description of the routes to be followed by the messengers in the Sandesakavyas. The Sandesakavyas play an impor- tant role in depicting the social history of their ages. The keralate Sandesakavyas are noteworthy because of the geographical, historical, social and cultural information they supply about the land.

  • Appayya Diksita and the Function of Stotras Yigal Bronner University of Chicago
    Singing to God, Educating the People: Appayya Diksita and the Function of Stotras Yigal Bronner University of Chicago appayya 100, appayya 500 The writing on the walls of Kalakanthe¶varar Temple in Adayapalam, a village near Vellore in the northern Tamil country, celebrates Appayya Diksita (1520–1592), the village’s main claim to fame, as a man of outstanding achievements. The inscription begins with a Sanskrit verse, highlighting Appayya’s association with the Vellore-based king Cinnaboma (“whose glory he spread”), his resurrection of ‡rikantha’s commentary on the Brahmasutra (“in order to fortify the ‡iva school”), and his construction of the very temple on which the verse is inscribed. A prose passage in Tamil further elaborates his deeds, mentioning, among other details, two impressive figures. Appayya is said to be the author of no less than one hundred books (çuëu prabandham panniça) and to have taught ‡rikantha’s commentary on the Brahmasutra and his own subcommentary on it, the ‡ivarkamanidipika, to a crowd of five hundred scholars.1 One hundred, a neatly round figure, is a well-known count for Appayya’s many works, and a testimony to his fecundity.2 But the other number of a five-hundred-strong body of students may be related to an equally important yet less appreciated dimension of Appayya’s career: his pedagogical vocation. Indeed, the two dimensions of Appayya’s scholarly life are tightly connected. A closer inspection of his rich written legacy reveals that many of his Earlier versions of this paper were delivered at “Regional Sanskrit Literatures,” a workshop held at the Israeli Academy for the Sciences and the Humanities, Jerusalem, July 2005; the annual meeting of the American Oriental Society, Seattle, March 2006; and as part of the lecture series on “Intellectual History of Religion” at Harvard Uni- versity, May 2006.
