    THE PALGRAVE MACMILLAN ANIMAL ETHICS SERIES Cow Care in Hindu Animal Ethics Kenneth R. Valpey The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series Series Editors Andrew Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK Priscilla N. Cohn Pennsylvania State University Villanova, PA, USA Associate Editor Clair Linzey Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics Oxford, UK In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the ethics of our treatment of animals. Philosophers have led the way, and now a range of other scholars have followed from historians to social scientists. From being a marginal issue, animals have become an emerging issue in ethics and in multidisciplinary inquiry. Tis series will explore the challenges that Animal Ethics poses, both conceptually and practically, to traditional understandings of human-animal relations. Specifcally, the Series will: • provide a range of key introductory and advanced texts that map out ethical positions on animals • publish pioneering work written by new, as well as accomplished, scholars; • produce texts from a variety of disciplines that are multidisciplinary in character or have multidisciplinary relevance.

  • Developing a Dharma Index Fundamental Decisions
    The Alliance of Religions and Conservation (ARC) International Meeting on Faith in Finance, Zug, Switzerland, Oct 30-Nov 1, 2017, www.arcworld.org, SHAUNAKA RISHI DAS, OCHS SHAUNAKA RISHI DAS, OXFORD CENTRE FOR HINDU STUDIES, MONDAY 30 OCTOBER 2017 Developing a Dharma Index In October 2006, Emerging Markets Group (EMG) invited the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies (OCHS) to participate in discussions on the formation of a Dharma Index, identifying a gap in the market for ethical investment packages suited to Hindu needs. The OCHS’s role was to provide the academic underpinnings of the Index. The Centre was intrigued by the invitation. As an academic centre it thought it an excellent opportunity to show that Hindu Studies may be relevant in a way that no- one – least of all the OCHS itself – previously thought possible. EMG linked with a pioneer in this field, the Dow Jones, to develop the Index. The Dow Jones introduced the Islamic Market Indexes – the world’s first Islamic- compliant indexes whose motto is ‘Markets Fluctuate, Principles Don’t’. The Dharma Index was to be a form of investing integrating principles based on considerations of Dharma into its decision making. Fundamental Decisions During initial discussions it became apparent that the OCHS was not the only partner approaching this field with no road map. While EMG employed one of the lights behind the development of the Islamic Market indexes, they became very aware that the culture of Hindu and dharmic thought was very different and the same approach would not apply. The role of the OCHS thus became more crucial than expected and the financial and academic world had to collectively think hard as to how such a project could develop maturely.

Divine Wisdom Illustrated Tales and Parables of Sri Ramakrishna - 2 THERE ARE MEN AND MEN MEN may be divided into four classes: those bound by the fetters of the world, the seekers after liberation, the liberated and the ever-free. Among the ever-free we may count sages like Narada. They live in the world for the good of others, to teach men spiritual truths. Those in bondage are sunk in worldliness and are forgetful of God. Not even by mistake do they think of God. The seekers after liberation want to free themselves from attachment to the world. Some of them succeed and others do not. continued on the inside back cover 404 NOVEMBER -DECEMBER 2018 Contents 242 Editorial Swami Vivekananda’s vision of social progress - 2 247 Swami Vivekananda and the Role of Intercultural Dialogue in Saving Our Human Heritage Jeffery D.

The festival delighted over 65,000 pilgrims, guests and seekers with rich experiences that caught the eye, stimulated the mind and captured the hearts of the young and the young-at-heart alike. The celebrations, which spanned over two days, were very well recevied by newcomers too. “This was my first visit to Bhaktivedanta Manor and to the Janmashtami Festival,” Srila Prabhupada: recalls Cllr Rosemary Gilligan, Mayor of Hertsmere Borough Council. “It was lovely to see so many people attending the Lord Caitanya advocated a festival - the one thing I noticed was the sense of peace and process whereby everyone may harmony amongst all the visitors.

  • 'Dharma and the Enjoined Subject: Jaimini's Mīmāṃsāsūtras and the Study of Ritual'
    ‘Dharma and the Enjoined Subject: Jaimini’s Mīmāṃsāsūtras and the Study of Ritual’ OCMS, Ph.D July 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis is an enquiry into the conception of dharma by Jaimini in his Mīmāṃsāsūtras with the aim of arguing for its contemporary relevance, particularly for the scholarship on ritual. It seeks to do this by offering a hermeneutical re-reading of the text, primarily by investigating the theme of the relationship between subjectivity and tradition in the discussion about dharma, and bringing it into conversation with contemporary discourses on ritual. The central argument that is proposed in this thesis, based on this re-reading, is that Jaimini’s conception of dharma can be read as a philosophy of Vedic practice that is centred on the enjoinment of the subject, whose stages of transformation can be seen to possess the structure of a hermeneutic tradition. This argument, which places subjectivity and tradition at the heart of the explanation of Vedic practice, is then discussed with the scholarship on ritual in order to indicate its contemporary relevance. Therefore, the explication of the central argument, which is based upon the insights gleaned from this hermeneutical re-reading of Jaimini’s Mīmāṃsāsūtras, will be broken down into two main aims. The first aim will attempt to demonstrate that the significance of Jaiminian enquiry lies in its conception of dharma as an embodied traditionary practice that possesses the structure of a hermeneutic tradition. The second aim will attempt to demonstrate that this re-reading of Jaimini’s enquiry can offer both substantive and methodological insights to the contentions within the contemporary study of ritual.
