  • Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati (Practicals of Dharma)
    Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati (Practicals of Dharma) By Paramahamsa Dr.Rupnathji There is nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru, nothing greater than guru. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor. Shiva is the instructor." - Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati, V, 63. This Sanskrit text, attributed to Siddha Gorakhnath, is divided into six chapters called Upadeshas. The Sanskrit edition used for this abstract is the Siddha Siddhanta Paddhati & Other Works of the Nath Yogis, Dr.Rupnathji, 1993. It is also very much worth consulting the English introduction, by Dr.Rupnathji, to the Siddha Siddhanta Sangraha of Balabhadra, Government Sanskrit College, Benares 1995. This introduction is out of copyright and we have also placed it on this site. The sections in this work are 1) origin of Pinda, 2) discussion of Pinda, 3) knowledge relating to Pinda, 4) foundation of Pinda. 5) unity of Pinda with the Supreme Reality (Parampada), and 6) the nature of the Avadhoot. The Parampada is also known as Anama, or the nameless. The Pinda itself is Shakti. Pinda means, literally, a ball or an egg. This egg is the cosmic egg or Macrocosm. and also the microcosmic egg, or the human being. It has six forms, called in this text Para (Supreme). Anadi (Without Origin), Adi (Origin), Mahasakara (Great Body), Prakrita (Natural Body) and Garbha (Womb-born Body), Each of these six aspects of Pinda has itself five factors, these being subdivided into five other divisions. So each of the six aspects of Pinda has 25 qualities. The five divisions partake of the nature of Space, Air, Water, Fire and Earth -- the five elements or Bhutas.

  • Hinduism: a Supplemental Resource for Grade 12 World of Religions: A
    Change and Evolution Diversity of Hinduism Modern Hinduism can in part be traced to indigenous Indian practices several thousands of years old. What we now call Hinduism was once known as—and in many places is still preferred to be known as—Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan means eternal. Dharma may be translated as religion, law, order, duty, or ethics. Sanatan Dharma may be thought of as meaning the eternal path or way of life. Sanatan Dharma was impacted upon by the arrival of Proto Indo-European speaking tribes from the Middle East and north, approximately four thousand years ago. Due in part to its long life, the historical record surrounding Hinduism is not only complex and multi-faceted, but also fragmented and a matter of continuing debate. Many Hindus focus less on attempting to work out accurate historical reconstructions than on the challenges and opportunities posed by the interaction of their Figure 13: Shiva Bhagavad Gita beliefs and faith in the world today. God and Gender in Hinduism In Hinduism, god is conceptualized in different ways with respect to gender. For many, their focus is upon an impersonal Absolute (Brahman) which is genderless. Some Hindu traditions see god as being androgynous, having both female and male aspects. Alternatively a supreme god may be seen to be either male or female while embracing gender henotheism; that is without denying the existence of other gods in either gender. The Shakti tradition conceives of god as a female. Other Bhakti traditions of Hinduism have both male and female gods. In ancient and medieval Indian mythology, each masculine Deva (god) of the Hindu pantheon was partnered with a feminine Devi (god).

    SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOLUME 94. NUMBER 1 THE DARKER SIDE OF DAWN BY ANANDA K. COOMARASWAMY for Research in Indian. Persian and Muhammadan Art Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (Publication 3304) CITY OF WASHINGTON PUBLISHED BY THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION APRIL 17, 1935 C6e Botb (^afftmore (press BALTIMORE, MD., 0. 8. A. THE DARKER SIDE OF DAWN By anan da K. COOMARASWAMY INTRODUCTION Students of theology and mythology are well aware that the concept of deity presents itself to us under a clouble aspect ; on the one hand as gracious, on the other as awful. He evokes both love and fear. He is both a light and a darkness, a revelation and a mystery. In the latter and awful aspect, clouds and darkness are round about him. The Light is Life, the Darkness Death. The one corresponds to our concept of Good, the other to our concept of Evil, within the recognized defini- tions of good as " that which all creatures desire ", and of evil as " that which all creatures would avoid." A majority of religions in their exoteric formulation treat these contrasted aspects in outward operation as distinct and opposed forces, divine and satanic, celestial and chthonic. Satan is commonly thought of as a Serpent or Dragon and is often so represented, upon the stage or in art. Yet the Solar hero and the Dragon, at war on the open stage, are blood brothers in the green room. From the Christian point of view, the fallen Angels " " are fallen in grace, but not in nature ; and from the Islamic, Iblis is restored at the end of time ; in other words Satan becomes again Lucifer.

  • Indian Archaeology 1975-76 a Review
    INDIAN ARCHAEOLOGY 1975-76 —A REVIEW EDITED BY B. K. THAPAR Director General Archaeological Survey of India ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA NEW DELHI 1979 Cover; The shrine of Khwaja Abu Nasar Parsa, Balkh, Afghanistan 1979 ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF INDIA GOVERNMENT OF INDIA Price : Rs. 60-00 PRINTED AT NABA MUDRAN PRIVATE LTD., CALCUTTA, 700004 PREFACE The present issue of the Review, in its content, follows the pattern of its predecessors, viz. incorporating material submitted by the various agencies engaged in archaeological work in the country, to whom I am beholden for their cooperation. This is the third issue to be brought out during the year 1979, and if everything goes well, the issue for 1976-77, which is already in the press, may come out within a couple of months. I heartily thank my colleagues in the Survey who have helped me in editing and seeing the volume through the press, as also Messers Naba Mudran Private Ltd., Calcutta, for bringing out these issues within such a short period. Readers would recall that as a result of the recommendations of a Committee, set up by one of the Sections of the Conference on Asian Archaeology, held in New Delhi in December 1961, to consider the problem of terminology in Indian prehistory, especially relating to the various hunting and food gathering stages, the terms Early, Middle and Late Stone Ages were accepted to be used in the subsequent issues of the Review (commencing from 1961-62). Since then considerable field-work in prehistoric and Quaternary studies has been done in India, and the position has appreciably changed: a blade-and-burin industry, recalling the Upper Palaeolithic of Europe has been identified in various regions of India, in stratigraphical horizons underlying the deposits belonging to the so-called Late Stone Age; and some similarities between the post Acheulian flake industries of the so-called Indian Middle Stone Age and those of the Middle Palaeolithic of Europe have been recognized.
