BUDDHISM and MARITIME HERITAGE: a Study on East and South-East Asia International Conference India and The Indian Ocean Renewing the Maritime Trade & Civilizational Linkages Bhubaneswar, Odisha , 20 – 22, March, 2015 BUDDHISM AND MARITIME HERITAGE: A Study on East and South-East Asia Dr. Sunil Kumar Patnaik, Secretary, OIMSEAS Early Beginning…………. • Between c. 700 BCE, the date of advent of the NBPW in Gangetic valley and c. 300 CE the point immediately preceding the Gupta age of maturity, India witnessed the growth of urban centres in all her major geographical regions. • The urbanisation of the Ganga valley in the first millennium BCE is often referred to as the second urbanisation. • This in turn produced the characteristics associated with urban culture –the building of fortified cities, the introduction of a script (brahmi), the use of coinage (punch marked coins for example), a wide range of intellectual and meta physical speculation (from Charaka to the Ajivikas), some of which reflected the requirements and aspirations of the new urban groups – the artisans and the merchants and traders.(Thapar R. 2013) • The society as described in Buddhist scriptures (Pali texts) reflects the presence of a very influential mercantile community organised in guilds. It is evidently a period of expanding material culture, with far and wide trade relations and populous towns and cities exist in the Ganga Valley (Rhys Davids,1903:11). In fact, Buddhism survived in India for so long and had such a brilliant history is evident enough that it responded to the needs of a wide and important section of the Indian population. Ancient Odisha or Kalinga region that extends at times from the river Ganges to Godavari, was also no exception to that. Study of Material Culture • Many areas outside the Ganga valley, especially those in Deccan and South India, experienced the emergence of the monarchical state and urban life. As the pattern of state and urban formations, experienced in the Ganga valley (from 6th to 4th century BCE.), arose in various parts of the subcontinent, the process of the emergence of secondary states and secondary urban centres can be traced during five centuries (c.300 BCE. to. 300 CE). • In Odishan context we have several references in the Pali text as well as the material remains of the excavated sites at Sisupalgarh, Jaugarh, Radhanagar (Kankia), Langudi, Lalitgiri, Udayagiri, Talapada, provides enough evidences that Odisha in her ancient days particularly from 4th -3rd century BCE. on words had the urban centres. The cites such as Dantapura, Tosali, Samapa, Kalinga Nagara, Pithunda, Simhapura, referred to in Pali literature, Asokan Edicts, Hatigumpha inscription points to that the State of Kalinga had these cities / urban centres with all its urban traits as that of Ganga Valley. Interestingly, most of the sites are Buddhist in nature and started settlements from 4th-3rd BCE and some terminated at 4th-5th CE and some continued up to 12th-13th CE. • From Culla-Kalinga Jataka, we learn that the relationship between king Assaka of Potana and king Kalinga of Dantapura were at first hostile, but afterwards the two kings lived amicably13 (Jat III,pp.3-5). Assaka territory in 6th century BCE. is identified on the bank of Godavari and Potana (modern Paithan or ancient Pratistahna) is the capital. The state of Kalinga raised its status to great height of prosperity which could equally be comparable to the prosperous city centres of that period like Kausambi, Champa, Mathura, Rajgriha, Pataliputra, Ujjain etc. Maritime super power attracted the Magdhan king Asoka to invade Kalinga in 3rd century BCE. Alothough Tamralipti served quite for a long time as Port Study Area……………. • As every body know Buddhism was very strong in Odishan region since the days of Buddha as well as Maritime Activities. • These two are continuing all along particularly in Eastern Indian context right from Tamluk (Tamralipti) to Nagrjunakonda. • In between these Geographical Orbit now comes Kalinga,Utkala,Kongoda,Udra –the historical Odisha.The majority early historical sites and settlements of this area explored and excavated so far are Buddhist in Nature. • I along with the scholars of our Institute like Dr.Balram Tripathy,G C Pradhan ,A.Behera have explored extensively the above mentioned coastal area and documented around 130 sites during the year (2010-15) and 120 sites are Buddhist of course period differs. • Interestingly Buddhist monastic establishments, early historical urban centers ,Sea /River Port sites are just complementary each other • Now the question is how the early Buddhist sites such as Lalitgiri, Udayagiri,Langudi, Radhanagr (Kankia),Kayama, Kalingapatnam ,Salihundam and early medieval Buddhist sites like Ratnagiri,Solampur,Kaupur,Kupari, B aneswarnasi, Brahmavan , Aragarh etc have developed as major settlements but who were the patrons ?. • It is only he monks and merchant mariners have substantially gifted and contributed for the growth of Monasteries. • Scholars like N K Sahu ,T E Donaldson, H P Ray, G.Verardi, B N Mukharjee,D Chkravarti, R Chkravarti,G C Chauley, B Bandopadhya,D Pradhan, S K Patnaik, J K Patnaik, H C Prusty, U Mishra, M Chauley have studied and focused various aspects of Buddhist Sites and settlement but our recent study revealed interesting evidences relating to Maritime Activities and spread of Buddhism.

Scholars Like R Thapar, D Chkravarti, B P Sahu, S Seneviratne and others have discussed and inferred that by 3rd century BCE, an intimate relationship between monastic communities, trading networks and urban centers had developed in South Asia. • These networks connected the Gangetic area, where Buddha had dwelled and preached ,to regions in central, south eastern and south India… • The early Buddhist sites were mostly located near urban centers along the trade routes which is more precise and prominent in Odishan context like Tamralipti-Mughalmari, Jayarampur, Ayodhya, Kupari, Kaupur,

NOTICE. Having completed the Udyoga Parva I enter the Bhishma. The preparations being completed, the battle must begin. But how dan- gerous is the prospect ahead ? How many of those that were counted on the eve of the terrible conflict lived to see the overthrow of the great Knru captain ? To a KsJtatriya warrior, however, the fiercest in- cidents of battle, instead of being appalling, served only as tests of bravery that opened Heaven's gates to him. It was this belief that supported the most insignificant of combatants fighting on foot when they rushed against Bhishma, presenting their breasts to the celestial weapons shot by him, like insects rushing on a blazing fire. I am not a Kshatriya. The prespect of battle, therefore, cannot be unappalling or welcome to me. On the other hand, I frankly own that it is appall- ing. If I receive support, that support may encourage me. I am no Garuda that I would spurn the strength of number* when battling against difficulties. I am no Arjuna conscious of superhuman energy and aided by Kecava himself so that I may eHcounter any odds.

  • Sun Temple, Konark
    Sun Temple, Konark March 11, 2021 About Sun Temple, Konark Konark Sun Temple, located in the eastern State of Odisha near the sacred city of Puri, is dedicated to the sun God or Surya. It is a monumental representation of the sun God Surya’s chariot; its 24 wheels are decorated with symbolic designs and it is led by a team of six horses. It is a masterpiece of Odisha’s medieval architecture and one of India’s most famous Brahman sanctuaries. The Konark temple is widely known not only for its architectural grandeur but also for the intricacy and profusion of sculptural work. It marks the highest point of achievement of Kalinga architecture depicting the grace, the joy and the rhythm of life all its wondrous variety. The temple declared a world heritage by UNESCO was built in A.D. 1250, during the reign of the Eastern Ganga King Narasimhadeva-I (A.D. 1238-64). There are two rows of 12 wheels on each side of the Konark sun temple. Some say the wheels represent the 24 hours in a day and others say the 12 months. The seven horses are said to symbolize the seven days of the week. Sailors once called this Sun Temple of Konarak, the Black Pagoda because it was supposed to draw ships into the shore and cause shipwrecks. The Konark is the third link of Odisha’s Golden Triangle. The first link is Jagannath Puri and the second link is Bhubaneswar (Capital city of Odisha). This temple was also known as Black Pagoda due to its dark color and used as a navigational landmark by ancient sailors to Odisha.

  • 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 Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa SALYA PARVA translated by Kesari Mohan Ganguli In parentheses Publications Sanskrit Series Cambridge, Ontario 2002 Salya Parva Section I Om! Having bowed down unto Narayana and Nara, the most exalted of male beings, and the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered. Janamejaya said, “After Karna had thus been slain in battle by Savyasachin, what did the small (unslaughtered) remnant of the Kauravas do, O regenerate one? Beholding the army of the Pandavas swelling with might and energy, what behaviour did the Kuru prince Suyodhana adopt towards the Pandavas, thinking it suitable to the hour? I desire to hear all this. Tell me, O foremost of regenerate ones, I am never satiated with listening to the grand feats of my ancestors.” Vaisampayana said, “After the fall of Karna, O king, Dhritarashtra’s son Suyodhana was plunged deep into an ocean of grief and saw despair on every side. Indulging in incessant lamentations, saying, ‘Alas, oh Karna! Alas, oh Karna!’ he proceeded with great difficulty to his camp, accompanied by the unslaughtered remnant of the kings on his side. Thinking of the slaughter of the Suta’s son, he could not obtain peace of mind, though comforted by those kings with excellent reasons inculcated by the scriptures. Regarding destiny and necessity to be all- powerful, the Kuru king firmly resolved on battle. Having duly made Salya the generalissimo of his forces, that bull among kings, O monarch, proceeded for battle, accompanied by that unslaughtered remnant of his forces. Then, O chief of Bharata’s race, a terrible battle took place between the troops of the Kurus and those of the Pandavas, resembling that between the gods and the Asuras.
