In sum it means cultivating and refining Ta thing to such an extent that its end product evokes our admiration and respect. This is practically the same as ‘Sanskriti’ of the Sanskrit language. The term ‘Sanskriti’ has been derived from the root ‘Kri (to do) of Sanskrit language. Three words came from this root ‘Kri; prakriti’ (basic matter or condition), ‘Sanskriti’ (refined matter or condition) and ‘vikriti’ (modified or decayed matter or condition) when ‘prakriti’ or a raw material is refined it becomes ‘Sanskriti’ and when broken or damaged it becomes ‘vikriti’.

  • MULTI-FACETED VEDIC HINDUISM Introduction
    MULTI-FACETED VEDIC HINDUISM M.G. Prasad Introduction Life in the universe is a wonderful mystery. Human beings have the privilege of seeking, understanding and experiencing the mystery of life. In a triadic approach based on the Vedas, existence of life can be described as God (Ishwara), Universe (Jagat) and individual (Jeeva). Any individual human being could see the universe as an entity that consists of all beings including other individuals and nature. The GOD as Supreme Being is seen as a free and independent entity responsible for Generation, Operation and Dissolution of everything in the universe and all beings. Thus it can be seen that One God as Bramhan with all attributes is the unitary source of all manifestations. Any human being is eligible to make connection with this One Source from which all knowledge manifest. The multi-faceted knowledge emanating from this One Source is referred as Vedas, which is infinite and eternal. This infinite body of knowledge as Vedas and Vedic literature can be represented as an inverted tree shown in figure 1 and also referred in Bhagavadgita (15-1). Figure 1: Inverted tree This inverted tree representation can be used to describe the multi-faceted Vedic Hinduism (Sanatana dharma). In Vishnusahasranama, we have the verse: Yogo jnanam tathaa sankhyam vidya shilpadi karma cha Vedaa shastraani vijnanam etatt sarvam Janardhanat Which means that yoga, all types of knowledge, art, sculptures, rituals, Vedas, Vedic scriptures and science have emanated from Janardhana denoting One Source. Thus, this multi-faceted nature of Vedic Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma offers the seekers with diverse aptitudes several pathways to approach that One Source of Light and Bliss.

God is One Om Shanti Mandiram Columbia MO 2001 The treasure was lost. We have regained it. This publication is not fully satisfactory. There is a tremendous scope for its improvement. Then why to publish it? The alternative was to let it get recycled. There is a popular saying in American academic circles: Publish or Perish. The only justification we have is to preserve the valuable contents for posterity. Yet it is one hundred times better than its original. We have devoted a great deal of our time, money, and energy to improve it. The entire work was recomposed on computer. Figures [pictures] were scanned and inserted. Diacritical marks were provided as far as possible. References to citations were given in certain cases. But when a vessel is already too dirty it is very difficult to clean it even in a dozen attempts. The original was an assemblage of scattered articles written by specialists in their own field. Some were extracted from publications already published. It was issued as a special number of a journal. It needed a competent editor. Even that too was not adequate unless the editor possessed sufficient knowledge of and full competence in all the subject areas covered. One way to make it correct and complete was to prepare a kind of draft and circulate it among all the writers, or among those who could critically examine a particular paper in their respective field.

  • JBH the Art of the Drum
    THE ART OF THE DRUM: THE RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL DYNAMIC OF DRUMMING AND DRUM CRAFTING IN FIJI, JAPAN, INDIA, MOROCCO AND CUBA JESSE BROWNER-HAMLIN THE BRISTOL FELLOWSHIP HAMILTON COLLEGE WWW.THEARTOFTHEDRUM.BLOGSPOT.COM AUGUST 2007 – AUGUST 2008 2 In the original parameters of my Bristol Fellowship, I aspired to investigate the religious and spiritual dynamic of drumming and drum crafting in Fiji, Japan, India, Morocco, the Dominican Republic, and Trinidad and Tobago. As any academic will attest, field research tends to march to beat of its own drum, if you will. The beauty of my fellowship was that I could have conducted the research in just about any country in the world. Music is everywhere; and moreover, drums are the oldest instrument known to man. Along the way, I modestly altered the itinerary: in the end, I conducted research in Fiji, Japan, India, Western Europe, Morocco and Cuba. It truly was a remarkable experience to have full autonomy over my research: I am infinitely grateful that the Bristol Family and Hamilton College (represented by Ginny Dosch) gave me the freedom to modify my itinerary as I saw fit. To be successful while conducting field research, you need to be flexible. While several of my hypotheses from my proposal were examined and tested, I often found myself in unscripted situations. The daily unpredictability of the fellowship is what makes it such a profound and exciting experience, as every day is an adventure. With the blessing of technology, this fellowship was carried out in “real time.” Because I actively maintained a website, www.theartofthedrum.blogspot.com, my research and multimedia were posted almost instantaneously, and thus, my family and friends back in the States could read about my experiences, see my pictures and watch my videos.

We obtain feature vectors that encode tonic-invariance by computing the magnitude spectrum of the constant-Q transform of the audio signal. Then we use Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) to obtain a low-dimensional feature space where mridangam strokes are separable. We make the resulting feature sequence event-synchronous using short-term statistics of feature vectors between onsets, before classifying into a predefined set of stroke labels using Support Vector Machines (SVM). The proposed approach is both more accurate and flexible compared to that of tonic-specific approaches. 1. INTRODUCTION [1].
