Bur for the results of list investigations made by them in their respective spheres, it would have been quite impossible for me to collect materials for this book. I feel it my duty to rhank the Republican Governments of Ireland and Mexico, as also two other Governments of Europe and Asia, who enabled me to travel without a passport, which was ruthlessly taken away from me in England and still rests in the archives of the British Foreign Office, as a punishment for publication of my book the "Vanishing Empire!" I am specially thankful to the President of the Republic of Mexico (than whom there is no greater democrat today)* and his Foreign Minister, Sgr. Ramon Bated, who provided me with a special Mexican passport to return to India. My rhanks are also due to the N.Y.K. Shipping Line, but for whose preparedness to face the consequences of carrying a passenger without a passport, I would never have reached India, since other shipping companies refused me a ticket. I wish I could equally thank the British Government if it had returned my passport in order to enable me to visit Peru, Bolivia, other South American countries and the Indian settlements in the U.S.A. (for which the U.S. Government had promised me every help) to write more fully about the Indians in North and Sourh America. But "the elephant never forgets" and Viscount Halifax, the proud Christian, could noe be persuaded even by the greatest living Christian, George Lansbury, to return my passport which was given to me in the name of His Majesty, asking all his subordinates to let me "pas. without let or hindrance"! Some day I hope to fulfil the unfinished task, since I have full faith in the Lord of Lords. I must also thank another true Christian who is shy of publicity, but whose sound advice and help have contributed much to the shaping of this book. New Delhi. 9lh April. 1940.

The title is arresting and carries a chillengc- Thc travels and researches of Indian scholar* in recent years have enlarged our actual consciousness of how rich and creative was India’s contribution in countries like Siam, Java, Sumatra, etc. But how vague and meagre is our information about the magnificent and fundamental nature and quality of India's achievement among the virile and vivid populations of what is now tailed America notably among the Incas and the Astecs; though, indeed, it proclaims itself in every comer stone of old temples and from the heart of every legend and the chronicle of every ritual and ceremony of worship and the desire for life and living in ancient Mexico and Peru. If your hook serves to enrich and expand our, alas! lamentably imperfect knowledge of our own cultural history, it will certainly be accounted a true national service and prove a monument to your energy, courage and devotion. Yours sincerely, SAROJINI NAIDU. 4 » ^<Ufl ii lu*j A«a- CivTH-flv^ ~L hV^y ]<-/ H V- <-*- flo '.yJsjfyca >|l,W 3U-' ^ 4— ^ ’ *•“'“ •t*«»u l>u« a— 7«.

  • Arun Kolatkar's Sarpa Satra
    Research Journal of English Language and Literature (RJELAL) Vol.1.Issue.3.;2013 A Peer Reviewed International Journal - http://www.rjelal.com ISSN 2321 – 3108 RESEARCH ARTICLE REVISITING THE MAHABHARATA: ARUN KOLATKAR’S SARPA SATRA BALKRISHNA MAGADE, M.A., M. Phil. Assistant Professor, Department of English, Kisan Veer Mahavidyalaya, Wai, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT The present paper is an attempt to examine Arun Kolatkar’s revisit to the epic The Mahabharata in his poem Sarpa Satra (2004). Kolatkar’s poem demythifies two myths: the ‘Khandava Forest’ in which the incineration of Khandava Forest was carried out by Krishna and Arjuna with their divine weapons and also the ‘Snake Sacrifice’ where king Janamejaya decides to avenge the assassination of his father Parikshita by the snake Takshaka by performing the Snake Sacrifice, which would drive all the snakes in the world and kill them in the sacrificial fire called Sarpa Satra. The poet questions the moral authority of the ruler whose irrational action becomes ‘cause for concern indeed for the future of the country in question’. Such a ruler who brings the betterment of the country in danger is fit either for punishment or banishment. The poet further exposes the rampant corruption, mindless violence in the form of commercial riots and a swarm of disruptive BALKRISHNA MAGADE activities that go non-stop in all parts of India. The burning of the Khandava Forest Article Info: by Lord Krishna and Arjuna leads to a severe ecological loss: ‘---nothing was left, Article Received:06/08/2013 not a trace of that great sanctuary---’ (p. 43).

Indian Hindu mythology provides examples of great communicators like Narad and Hanuman who provide the earliest glimpses of journalism. Interestingly, Hindu mythology and the modern communication media have not been connected, though the literature available brings about valid connections of transformation in this communication media for the purpose of social welfare. The present paper delves into presenting a developmental picture connecting ancient India to the modern India with respect to the communication media and its role in social reformation. Analysis of mythological identities and furthermore through a series of extensive reading done by the author made believe that the motive of journalism and social participation was to bring about a social change. This study is based on connections based on descriptions available on characters and identities from Hindu mythology. The path of development of communication media has been traced down with the technological advancements in the form of chronological development of the aids and their impact on social reformation. The mythological Indian characters have passed on through stories and Vedas which have scattered appearance in the form of concrete literature. It can be seen that communication media has been instrumental in impacting the social reformation at all times.

  • About Yajna, Yaga & Homa
    Mahabharata Series About Yajna, Yaga & Homa Compiled by: G H Visweswara PREFACE I have extracted these contents from my other comprehensive & unique work on Mahabharata called Mahabharata-Spectroscope. (See http://www.ghvisweswara.com/mahabharata-2/mahabharata-spectroscope-a-unique- resource/). Whereas the material in that was included in the order in which it appears in the original epic, in this compilation I have grouped them by meaningful Topics & Sub- topics thus making it much more useful to the student/scholar of this subject. This is a brief compilation of the contents appearing in the great epic Mahabharata on the topics of Yajna, Yaga & Homa. The compilation is not exhaustive in the sense that every para appearing in the great epic is not included here for the sake of limiting the size of this document. Some of the topics like japa-yajna have already been compiled in another document called Japa-Dhayana-Pranayama. But still most of the key or representative passages have been compiled here. The contents are from Mahabharata excluding Bhagavad Gita. I hope the readers will find the document of some use in their study on these topics.

  • Samaveda Upakarma – September 7Th, 2013 (Saturday)
    www.saveca.ca SAMAVEDA UPAKARMA – SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2013 (SATURDAY) Sama Veda Upakarma Prayoga for the year 2013 (07-09-2013) In the case of Sama Veda, the upakarma prayogam is very extensive and differs very much from the Upakarma prayoga of Rig and Yajur Vedis.They always do it in Hastha Nakshtra. It essentially consists of ten steps in the following order: 1.Panchagavya sammelanam 2.Snana Mahasankalpam 3.Brahmayagnam 4.Punyaham 5.Rishipooja(Uthsarjan Karma) 6.Deva,rishi, Pithru Tharpanam (264+12) 7.Ghata Poojai 8.Yagnopaveethadhaaranam 9.Vedarambam 10.Kankanadharanam The above have to be done with the instruction of a Guru but in modern times when people are scattered all over the world and also because well learned Sama Vedi Purohithas are very scarce, many people are forced to do it in their home depending on some handouts. Since most of the above steps are lengthy and involve proper chanting of Sama Veda Mantras, following three steps of the above 10 are recommended. They are: 1.Snana maha Sankalpam, 2,Brahma Yagnam 3.Yagnopaveetha dharanam MAHAA SANKALPAM (Aachamya+Wear Pavithram + Put Durbha Aasanam under the legs + Wear Two Dharbha between the Pavithram)Darbeshvaaseena: Darbhaan Dhaaryamaana: AUM SUKLAAM BARADHARAM VISHNUM SASHI VARNAM CHATHURBHUJAM PRASANNA VADHANAM DHYAAYETH SARVA VIGHNA UPASHAANTHAYE - OM BHUUHU, OM BHUVAHA, OM GUM SUVAHA, OM MAHAHA, OM JANAHA, OM THAPAHA, OOGUM SATHYAM OM THATSAVITHURVARENYAM BHARGO DEVASYA DEEMAHI DHEEYO-YONA PRACHOTHAYAATH - OM AAPO JYOTHEERASO AMRUTHAM BRAHMA BHURBUVASSUVAROM OM OM OM. www.saveca.ca

  • The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
    The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa Translated into English Prose from the Original Sanskrit Text. By Kisari Mohan Ganguli [1883-1896] TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE The object of a translator should ever be to hold the mirror upto his author. That being so, his chief duty is to represent so far as practicable the manner in which his author's ideas have been expressed, retaining if possible at the sacrifice of idiom and taste all the peculiarities of his author's imagery and of language as well. In regard to translations from the Sanskrit, nothing is easier than to dish up Hindu ideas, so as to make them agreeable to English taste. But the endeavour of the present translator has been to give in the following pages as literal a rendering as possible of the great work of Vyasa. To the purely English reader there is much in the following pages that will strike as ridiculous. Those unacquainted with any language but their own are generally very exclusive in matters of taste. Having no knowledge of models other than what they meet with in their own tongue, the standard they have formed of purity and taste in composition must necessarily be a narrow one. The translator, however, would ill-discharge his duty, if for the sake of avoiding ridicule, he sacrificed fidelity to the original. He must represent his author as he is, not as he should be to please the narrow taste of those entirely unacquainted with him. Mr. Pickford, in the preface to his English translation of the Mahavira Charita, ably defends a close adherence to the original even at the sacrifice of idiom and taste against the claims of what has been called 'Free Translation,' which means dressing the author in an outlandish garb to please those to whom he is introduced.
