  • Irreverent Persia
    Irreverent Persia IRANIAN IRANIAN SERIES SERIES Poetry expressing criticism of social, political and cultural life is a vital integral part of IRREVERENT PERSIA Persian literary history. Its principal genres – invective, satire and burlesque – have been INVECTIVE, SATIRICAL AND BURLESQUE POETRY very popular with authors in every age. Despite the rich uninterrupted tradition, such texts FROM THE ORIGINS TO THE TIMURID PERIOD have been little studied and rarely translated. Their irreverent tones range from subtle (10TH TO 15TH CENTURIES) irony to crude direct insults, at times involving the use of outrageous and obscene terms. This anthology includes both major and minor poets from the origins of Persian poetry RICCARDO ZIPOLI (10th century) up to the age of Jâmi (15th century), traditionally considered the last great classical Persian poet. In addition to their historical and linguistic interest, many of these poems deserve to be read for their technical and aesthetic accomplishments, setting them among the masterpieces of Persian literature. Riccardo Zipoli is professor of Persian Language and Literature at Ca’ Foscari University, Venice, where he also teaches Conceiving and Producing Photography. The western cliché about Persian poetry is that it deals with roses, nightingales, wine, hyperbolic love-longing, an awareness of the transience of our existence, and a delicate appreciation of life’s fleeting pleasures. And so a great deal of it does. But there is another side to Persian verse, one that is satirical, sardonic, often obscene, one that delights in ad hominem invective and no-holds barred diatribes. Perhaps surprisingly enough for the uninitiated reader it is frequently the same poets who write both kinds of verse.

    STAY WITH GOD A Statement in Illusion on Reality Third edition 1990 By Francis Brabazon An Avatar Meher Baba Trust Online Release June 2011 Copyright © Avatar’s Abode Trust 1984 Source and short publication history: This Online Release reproduces the third edition, which is the first illustrated edition (1990), of Stay With God, published by New Humanity Books, Melbourne, Australia. Stay With God was originally published by Edwards and Shwa for Garuda Books, Woombye, Queensland, in 1959, and a second edition was published in 1977 by Meher House Publications, Bombay, India. eBooks at the Avatar Meher Baba Trust Web Site The Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s eBooks aspire to be textually exact though non- facsimile reproductions of published books, journals and articles. With the consent of the copyright holders, these online editions are being made available through the Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s web site, for the research needs of Meher Baba’s lovers and the general public around the world. Again, the eBooks reproduce the text, though not the exact visual likeness, of the original publications.

  • Muslim Saints of South Asia
    MUSLIM SAINTS OF SOUTH ASIA This book studies the veneration practices and rituals of the Muslim saints. It outlines the principle trends of the main Sufi orders in India, the profiles and teachings of the famous and less well-known saints, and the development of pilgrimage to their tombs in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. A detailed discussion of the interaction of the Hindu mystic tradition and Sufism shows the polarity between the rigidity of the orthodox and the flexibility of the popular Islam in South Asia. Treating the cult of saints as a universal and all pervading phenomenon embracing the life of the region in all its aspects, the analysis includes politics, social and family life, interpersonal relations, gender problems and national psyche. The author uses a multidimen- sional approach to the subject: a historical, religious and literary analysis of sources is combined with an anthropological study of the rites and rituals of the veneration of the shrines and the description of the architecture of the tombs. Anna Suvorova is Head of Department of Asian Literatures at the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. A recognized scholar in the field of Indo-Islamic culture and liter- ature, she frequently lectures at universities all over the world. She is the author of several books in Russian and English including The Poetics of Urdu Dastaan; The Sources of the New Indian Drama; The Quest for Theatre: the twentieth century drama in India and Pakistan; Nostalgia for Lucknow and Masnawi: a study of Urdu romance. She has also translated several books on pre-modern Urdu prose into Russian.

  • The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan
    The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 George Fiske All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan George Fiske This study examines the socioeconomics of state formation in medieval Afghanistan in historical and historiographic terms. It outlines the thousand year history of Ghaznavid historiography by treating primary and secondary sources as a continuum of perspectives, demonstrating the persistent problems of dynastic and political thinking across periods and cultures. It conceptualizes the geography of Ghaznavid origins by framing their rise within specific landscapes and histories of state formation, favoring time over space as much as possible and reintegrating their experience with the general histories of Iran, Central Asia, and India. Once the grand narrative is illustrated, the scope narrows to the dual process of monetization and urbanization in Samanid territory in order to approach Ghaznavid obstacles to state formation. The socioeconomic narrative then shifts to political and military specifics to demythologize the rise of the Ghaznavids in terms of the framing contexts described in the previous chapters. Finally, the study specifies the exact combination of culture and history which the Ghaznavids exemplified to show their particular and universal character and suggest future paths for research. The Socioeconomics of State Formation in Medieval Afghanistan I. General Introduction II. Perspectives on the Ghaznavid Age History of the literature Entrance into western European discourse Reevaluations of the last century Historiographic rethinking Synopsis III.

  • Philosophical Affinity Between Tagore and Sufi Poets of Iran
    Philosophical Affinity between Tagore and Sufi Poets of Iran Niaz Ahmed Khan Abstract India and Iran have centuries’ old bond of socio-cultural, philosophical and mystical pursuits firmly deep rooted in the socio-ethical lives of both the countries. They have ever been a potential breeding ground for spiritual endeavours and philosophical reflections. With the advent of Islam there upon the genesis and development of Sufi movement in Iran side by side the Bhakti movement here in India brought both the nations close to each other to interact and share their spiritual gains. These two countries produced many luminaries throughout the ages immemorial. Among them Hafiz, Rumi in Iran and Tagore in India outshined their predecessors in their philosophical outlook and humanistic approach. The present article is a humble attempt to trace, find out and correlate the thread of common elements much pertinent to their works. Key Words: Mysticism, humanism and Philosophy شکر شکن شوند همه طوطیان هند زین قند پارسی که به بنگا له می رود All the parrots (poets) of India will be overwhelmed By the sweetness of this sugar candy of Persia that goes to Bengal Some centuries ago a ruler of Bengal once invited Hafiz Shirazi the divine tongued Persian poet of Iran but owing to his advanced age thereupon strenuous journey involved in he could not venture out and just sent a ghazal in response to that containing this famous couplet.

  • Messianism and Astronomical Events During the First Four Centuries of Islam 1
    David Cook* Messianism and Astronomical Events during the First Four Centuries of Islam 1 Résumé : Il y a une relation entre le messianisme et les événements astronomiques depuis les débuts de l’Islam quoique nous ne sachions pas si la conjonction des comètes et des super- novae influença le Prophète, à l’époque où il recevait la Révélation, en ce qui concerne sa croyance en une fin du monde proche; en revanche un grand nombre de mouvements apo- calyptiques ou messianiques eurent lieu pendant les quatre siècles suivants et même plus, lors- qu’il se produisait des phénomènes astronomiques. Le propos de cet article est de mettre en relief le fait qu’il est possible que les événements astronomiques soient importants pour l’étude de ces mouvements apocalyptiques, et sont souvent utiles pour dater leurs commencements exacts dans la mesure où, souvent, nous manquons d’informations sur la genèse de ces mouvements. Abstract: Messianism and astronomical events are interconnected from the very earliest period of Islam. Although we do not know whether the appearance of comets and supernovae influenced the Prophet MuÌammad to believe that the end of the world was imminent as he was receiving the revelations of the Quran, the fact is that a great many apocalyptic and messianic movements during the following four centuries and afterwards were accompanied by astronomical phenomena. This article is designed to open students of Islam up to the possibility that celestial events are important for the study of these apocalyptic movements and are frequently useful in dating their exact beginnings since in many cases we lack information about the genesis of such movements.

  • Flowers of Persian Song and Music: the Gulhā Programmes
    Flowers of Persian Song and Music The Gulha Programmes Produced by Davoud Pirnia The Gulha weekly radio programmes were produced by Davoud Pirnia (1901-1971) and aired on Iranian radio between 1956 and 1979. These programmes covered the entire history of classical as well as contemporary Persian poetry, giving marvellous expression to the whole gamut of traditional Persian music and poetry. This CD provides a representative sampling of the programmes, and thereby aims to give an overview of the classical music of Persia. The Gulha Programmes The Gulha programmes have been referred to by many scholars of Persian Studies as a veritable encyclopaedia of Persian music and poetry. These programmes are made up of literary commentary with the declamation of poetry, which is sung with musical accompaniment, interspersed with solo musical pieces. For the 23 years that these programmes were broadcast, the most eminent literary critics, famous radio announcers, singers, composers and musicians in Iran were all invited to participate in them. The foremost and best musicians, vocalists, literary critics, poets and announcers performed, so the programmes provide a unique—in fact still the best and most poetically diverse—recorded collection of the classical corpus of Persian music and poetry Davoud Pirnia Husayn Qavtami made in the twentieth century. The programmes were exemplars of excellence in the sphere of music and refined examples of literary expression, making use of a repertoire of over 500 classical and modern Persian poets, setting literary and musical standards that are still looked up to with admiration in Iran today. They marked a watershed in Persian culture, following which music and musicians gained respectability.
