  • Interpreting Tradition
    115 Chapter 3 Interpreting Tradition Tradition is defined as the handing down of knowledge or the passing of a doctrine or a technique^ ^ It is an active process; it entails a very strong and often predominant sense of respect and' duty; it often presents values and standard. It is not so, as it is generally believed that it comes to be handed down in an unchanging form; in fact by its very nature, it involves both continuity and change. It needs to be studied in its various phases of development. It is in this context, that the meaning of the term culture becomes more meaningful. Romila Thapar has used the term 'culture' in its wider sense to include language, tradition, customs and institutions.^ '' The meaning of the term culture becomes clear when used in the context of tradition for it links the past to the present. In the context of India the tradition is ancient and complex; and in regard to its origin, it can only be pointed out that there are multiple of origins of Indian tradition. Indian tradition can be broadly categorized into : (1) Brahminical Traditions, (2) The Renouncer Traditions and (3) Popular Traditions. Though it is not the purpose to discuss all the three traditions, however, a few observations about the dominant Brahminical tradition can be made, since most of the debates that took place in Maharashtra during the period of this study remained mainly concerned with it. These observations are made * Kluckhohn's definition of Culture is as follow : (1) "the total way of life of a people", (2) "the social legacy the individual acquires from his group"; (3) "a way of thinking, feeling, and believing", (4) "an abstraction from behaviour"; (5) a theory on the part of the anthropologist about the way in which a group of people in fact behave".

  • René Beauchamp 55 YEARS of SEAWAY SALTIES
    René Beauchamp 55 YEARS of SEAWAY SALTIES 1959 to 2013 compiled by René Beauchamp Updated in January 2014 List of ocean-going freighters which transited the St.Lawrence Seaway from 1959 to 2013, spanning 55 years. Because of lack of information for the very early years of the Seaway, this index does not claim to be a complete accurate list of vessels, but is believed however to be almost one hundred percent accurate. Canallers and other inland vessels sold abroad and reflagged in one of the Great Lakes ports before their departure for overseas are included. The details in this book update the ones which appeared in my publications Seaway Ocean Vessels and Seaway Ships published between 1983 and 2013. All the vessels listed are general cargos ships including heavy-lift vessels and ro-ro ships, also bulk carriers, supply ships and tankers. Spelling of names: Several vessels listed were known under a variation of their name, particularly the Soviet ships. See a partial list at the end of this document. Doubtful visitors: Because no official records exist from the St.Lawrence Seaway Authority for the very early years of the Seaway, it must be emphasized that for a very few ships listed in this book, it was impossible to verify if they actually transited the waterway despite reports they might have transited. Ships in that category include the FANNY SCARLETT and a handful of others. Details : Name of vessel, first year of transit in brackets, gross tonnage, flag, year built, and class of ship [if any]. The tankers are identified with the letter t.

Bhima got engaged in religious discourses, propagating the concepts about Hari, protection of the kingdom and other duties. Notes: 1. This means that King Dharmaraja got engaged in religious duties such as performing Yagnas. Since performing yagnas and such activities are important duties for Kshatriyas, it has been mentioned first. Since Dharmaraja was the emperor, it is obvious that he was worshipped by other kings. 2. Here word ‘prashna’ means the questioner and also questioning. Questioning means asking with authority. People answering will be teachers and people questioning will be kings. If telling is indicative of teaching, questioning is indicative of authority. Therefore in the places where there is chaos, people normally ask “isn’t there anyone to question and counsel here ?” 3.

  • Hymns to the Mystic Fire
    VOLUME NO.11 Sri Aurobindo Birth Centenary Library. Special Edition of One Hundred Sets on Handmade Paper. © Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust 1972. Published by Sri Aurobindo Memorial Fund Society, Pondicherry. Printed by Offset at All India Press Pondicherry, India. Hymns to the Mystic Fire SRI AUROBINDO Foreword IN ANCIENT times the Veda was revered as a sacred book of wisdom, a great mass of inspired poetry, the work of Rishis, seers and sages, who received in their illumined minds rather than mentally constructed a great universal, eter- nal and impersonal Truth which they embodied in Mantras, re- vealed verses of power, not of an ordinary but of a divine inspi- ration and source. The name given to these sages was Kavi, which afterwards came to mean any poet, but at the time had the sense of a seer of truth, the Veda itself describes them as kavayaÕ satyasrutah, seers who are hearers of the Truth and the Veda itself was called, sruti, a word which came to mean revealed Scripture. The seers of the Upanishad had the same idea about the Veda and frequently appealed to its authority for the truths they themselves announced and these too afterwards came to be regarded as Sruti, revealed Scripture, and were included in the sacred Canon. This tradition persevered in the Brahmanas and continued to maintain itself in spite of the efforts of the ritualistic com- mentators, Yajnikas, to explain everything as myth and rite and the division made by the Pandits distinguishing the section of works, Karmakanda, and the section of Knowledge, Jnanakanda, identifying the former with the hymns and the latter with the Upanishads.
