  • HINDUISM in EUROPE Stockholm 26-28 April, 2017 Abstracts
    HINDUISM IN EUROPE Stockholm 26-28 April, 2017 Abstracts 1. Vishwa Adluri, Hunter College, USA Sanskrit Studies in Germany, 1800–2015 German scholars came late to Sanskrit, but within a quarter century created an impressive array of faculties. European colleagues acknowledged Germany as the center of Sanskrit studies on the continent. This chapter examines the reasons for this buildup: Prussian university reform, German philological advances, imagined affinities with ancient Indian and, especially, Aryan culture, and a new humanistic model focused on method, objectivity, and criticism. The chapter’s first section discusses the emergence of German Sanskrit studies. It also discusses the pantheism controversy between F. W. Schlegel and G. W. F. Hegel, which crucially influenced the German reception of Indian philosophy. The second section traces the German reception of the Bhagavad Gītā as a paradigmatic example of German interpretive concerns and reconstructive methods. The third section examines historic conflicts and potential misunderstandings as German scholars engaged with the knowledge traditions of Brahmanic Hinduism. A final section examines wider resonances as European scholars assimilated German methods and modeled their institutions and traditions on the German paradigm. The conclusion addresses shifts in the field as a result of postcolonial criticisms, epistemic transformations, critical histories, and declining resources. 2. Milda Ališauskienė, Vytautas Magnus University, Lithuania “Strangers among Ours”: Contemporary Hinduism in Lithuania This paper analyses the phenomenon of contemporary Hinduism in Lithuania from a sociological perspective; it aims to discuss diverse forms of Hindu expression in Lithuanian society and public attitudes towards it. Firstly, the paper discusses the history and place of contemporary Hinduism within the religious map of Lithuania.

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.

  • 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.

  • Hindu Interpretation of Christ from Vivekananda to Radhakrishnan
    . Hindu Interpretation of Christ from Vivekananda to Radhakrishnan · BALWANT A.M. PARADKAR Th() purpose of this paper is not to furnish an exhaustive survey of Hindu interpretations of Chdst, but to view the high­ lights, particularly the interpretations of some leading and responsible Hindu figures whose views influence strong move­ ments1 in the ongoing Hindu renaissance. These . may be indicated as follows : I. Swami Vivekananda } II. Swanri AJdhilananda The Ramakrishna Mission III. Mahatma Gandhi . The Sarvodaya Movement IV. Bhai Manilal C. Parekh } v. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan New Hindu Secularism I Recent research has shown that Swami Vivekananda was much more indebted to tll.e Brahmo Samaj for his religious awakening than is commonly realized. It is from this contact that his warm appreciation of Christ is to be traced. It is signi­ ficant that -Swami Vivekananda inaugurated the Ramakrishna Mission. after his master's death, on Christmas Eve. But we touch the heart of Vivekananda's interpretation of Christ when we note three things. First, his approach to Christ was not that of a seeker but that of one who found satisfaction in philosophical-mystical Hinduism. Second, he is influenced by a certain historical scepticism, due apparently to being influenced by the Christ-myth speculation of the late nine.teenth century. Third, he viewed everything at all times from the angle ' In the period before us, there are two other outstanding names: Dr. Bhagavan Das of the Banaras Hindu University, and Shri Aurobindo of the Poridicherry Ashram. Neither of these ·gave much sustained atten­ tion to the Christ theme. Shri .Aurobindo's 'integralism' is of growing East-West significance.

  • Lesson One Sravanam (Hearing)
    Gopal’s Fun School (GFS) RS No. Gopinath-Nitai-004 Lesson One Sravanam (Hearing) Importance of hearing: ☺ Our sense of hearing is very important to us. It can be even more valuable than sight. ☺ Eg. If you are asleep in your house at night, you many not notice if a burglar happens to come in. But if he makes some noise, you could hear it and thus become alert. ☺ It would be quite difficult to get along in the world without the sense of hearing Importance of hearing in spiritual life: ☺ In spiritual life, hearing is extremely important. But we must know what to hear. ☺ Hearing of the holy name of the Lord is the beginning of devotional service. In fact, it is a must. ☺ By chanting and hearing the holy name of the Lord, our heart gets cleansed from the effects of our sins. As we become purified, we can gradually understand Krishna. Different ways of hearing in spiritual life: ☺ By chanting the holy name, we use our sense of hearing to listen to the name. ☺ We can also hear about Krishna from the scriptures. The Bhagavad Gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Ramayana and Upanishads are some important scriptures that are full of information about the lord. ☺ Hearing of the lord’s pastimes will purify us in the same way. It is very enjoyable to hear and tell stories of Krishna and His devotee. ☺ We can listen to the melodious Kirtans and bhajans which not only please our heart but purify our consciousness. Whom should we hear from? ☺ It is extremely important to know from whom we are hearing about spiritual life.
