  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

  • Building a Word Segmenter for Sanskrit Overnight
    Building a Word Segmenter for Sanskrit Overnight Vikas Reddy*1, Amrith Krishna*2, Vishnu Dutt Sharma3, Prateek Gupta4, Vineeth M R5, Pawan Goyal2 1Dept. of Mining Engineering, 2Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering, 4Dept. of Mathematics, 5Dept. of Electrical Engineering, 1,2,4,5IIT Kharagpur 3American Express India Pvt Ltd fvikas.challaram, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract There is abundance of digitised texts available in Sanskrit. However, the word segmentation task in such texts are challenging due to the issue of Sandhi. In Sandhi, words in a sentence often fuse together to form a single chunk of text, where the word delimiter vanishes and sounds at the word boundaries undergo transformations, which is also reflected in the written text. Here, we propose an approach that uses a deep sequence to sequence (seq2seq) model that takes only the sandhied string as the input and predicts the unsandhied string. The state of the art models are linguistically involved and have external dependencies for the lexical and morphological analysis of the input. Our model can be trained “overnight” and be used for production. In spite of the knowledge lean approach, our system preforms better than the current state of the art by gaining a percentage increase of 16.79 % than the current state of the art. Keywords: Word Segmentation, Sanskrit, Low-Resource Languages, Sequence to sequence, seq2seq, Deep Learning 1. Introduction proximity between two compatible sounds as per any one Sanskrit had profound influence as the knowledge preserv- of the 281 rules is the sole criteria for sandhi.

  • Chapter II * Place of Hevajra Tantraj in Tantric Literature
    Chapter II * Place of Hevajra Tantraj in Tantric Literature 4 1. Buddhist Tantric Literature Lama Anagarik Govinda wrote: “the word ‘Tantrd is related to the concept of weaving and its derivatives (thread, web, fabric, etc.), hinting at the interwovenness of things and actions, the interdependence of all that exists, the continuity in the interaction of cause and effect, as well as in spiritual and'traditional development, which like a thread weaves its way through the fabric of history and of individual lives. The scriptures which in Buddhism go under the name of Tantra (Tib.: rgyud) are invariably of a mystic nature, i.e., trying to establish the inner relationship of things: the parallelism of microcosm and macrocosm, mind and universe, ritual and reality, the world of matter and the world of the spirit.”99 Scholars like N.N. Bhattacharyya and also Pranabananda Jash, regard Tantra as a religious system or science (Sastra) dealing with the means (sadhana) of attaining success (siddhi) in secular or religious efforts.100 N.N. Bhattacharyya mentions that “Tantra came to mean the essentials of any religious system and, subsequently, special doctrines and rituals found only in certain forms of various religious systems. This change in the meaning, significance, and character of the word ‘Tantra' is quite striking and is likely to reveal many hitherto unnoticed elements that have characterised the social fabric of India through the ages.”101 It is must be noted that the Tantrika tradition is not the work of a day, it has a long history behind it.

  • What Is Mahāmudrā Traleg Rinpoche
    What is Mahāmudrā Traleg Rinpoche The Mahāmudrā tradition encompasses many key Buddhist terms and presents them in a unique light. The Sanskrit word mahāmudrā literally translates as “great seal,’’ or “great symbol,’’ which suggests that all that exists in the conditioned world is stamped with the same seal, the seal of ultimate reality. Ultimate reality is synonymous with the quintessential Buddhist term emptiness (śūnyatā), which describes the insubstantiality of all things—the underlying groundlessness, spaciousness, and indeterminacy that imbues all of our experiences of the subjective and objective world. In the Kagyü tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, the word mahāmudrā is also used to refer to the nature of the mind. The nature of the mind is a pivotal concept in this tradition. The essential quality of the mind is emptiness, but it is described as a luminous emptiness, for the mind has the inherent capacity to know, or to cognize. When spiritual fulfillment is attained, this lumi- nous emptiness is experienced as pervasively and profoundly blissful, and enlightenment is characterized as luminous bliss. The Tibetan term for Mahāmudrā is chag gya chen po. The word chag denotes wisdom; gya implies that this wisdom transcends mental defilement; and chen po verifies that together they express a sense of unity. At a more profound level of interpretation, chag gya suggests that <4> our natural state of being has no origin, because we cannot posit a particular time when it came into being, nor can we say what caused it to conic into existence or what it is dependent upon. Our natural state of being is self-sustaining, self- existing, and not dependent upon anything.

  • Tulsidas-By-Swami-Yatiswarananda
    Tulsidas By Swami Yatiswarananda (Reproduced from Vedanta Magazine –Vedanta Centre –London - UK – Jan-Feb 2002) The fundamental unity of religious India Our saints and sages, our holy men and holy women, were born in all parts of the country. They may speak different languages but they all place before us the ideal of realizing the eternal relation between the eternal soul and the eternal God. Their teachings form part of our entire spiritual heritage, our common spiritual knowledge. The more we recognize this the more our hearts will beat to the same spiritual tune and bring about a grand union, essential not only for the progress of India but for the whole world itself. Even from the most ancient times the worship of the Supreme Spirit in the aspects of Shiva and Vishnu has been prevalent both in the North and the South. The religious stream flowed from the North to the South and again from the South to the North. It is a remarkable phenomenon in the religious history of India that while Rama and Krishna - the two most popular incarnations of Vishnu -Êthe all- pervading Supreme Spirit - were born in North India, they came to be worshipped in South India also. In the post-Buddhistic revival of Hinduism, South India had become the storehouse of Hindu culture and gave birth to the three great Acharyas - Shankara, Ramanuja and Madhwa. All the three travelled to the North, preached their doctrines and greatly influenced the religious thought of North India. Sri Ramanuja is credited with having founded a Sri Vaishnava School at Varanasi during his visit there.

INTRODUCTION Systematic enquiry of the ritual phenomenon in human society is a field of investigation of fairly recent origin. A host of scholars from sociology, social anthropology, psychology are become interested in the field of rituals in early part of 19th century. In the ethnographic description of rituals in diverse culture given by scholars like Edward Tylor, James Frazer, Bronislaw Malinowski, Emile Durkheim and many others used the term ritual to denote two separate sets of activities. The first in the sphere of religious activities (prayer, ceremonial worship, chanting, arrange of gestures and movement, activities with sacred object) which practice with specific intension of spiritual communication with a Supreme Being. Second sets of human activities are identified as rituals are those associated with individual life cycle as they move from one social setting to the next.

  • Hindi Haiku: a Study of Shifts in Moods
    IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship Volume 8 – Issue 1 – Winter 2019 Hindi Haiku: A Study of Shifts in Moods Mallika Tosha Delhi Technological University, India 67 IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship Volume 8 – Issue 1 – Winter 2019 Abstract Making a grand breakthrough in the eighth century, Japanese poetry remains one of the earliest boons for the world of literature. Indian poets are some of the many writers who have been influenced by Japanese poetry. This article analyses haiku composed in the Hindi language. The analysis is based on a thematic and critical study of the works of selective haiku writers of the Hindi language. The benefits that Hindi haiku has created for Hindi literature is seen in how it adapts itself culturally, socially and philosophically which is elucidated here. The Hindi haiku poets, through restriction of syllables, gave rise to images that forced us to dwell upon their reflections. Those who deviated from its strict syllabic form also gave rise to innovative poetic compositions. This study explores the philosophical inclination, formative deviation and cultural variation of haiku as it travelled from Japanese culture to the Indian culture. Keywords: Haiku, Hindi literature, Japanese philosophy, Japanese poetry, Weltanschauung, Zen thought 68 IAFOR Journal of Literature & Librarianship Volume 8 – Issue 1 – Winter 2019 Introduction Haiku is a Japanese imagist poetic form of five-seven-five syllables that allows the writer to form reflections through images. This quality can be seen in almost all forms of Japanese poetry. According to Robert Brower, the poets of Japan utilised both personal and impersonal patterns. They needed to bring their personal lyricism into balance with such impersonal, social concerns as relations between the poet and public affairs.

  • Literary Cultures in History Reconstructions from South Asia
    Literary Cultures in History Reconstructions from South Asia EDITED BY Sheldon Pollock UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PRESS Berkeley Los Angeles London 1 Sanskrit Literary Culture from the Inside Out Sheldon Pollock In contrast to most other literary cultures examined in this book, Sanskrit literature has a long and deep tradition of scholarship. A serious attempt at a comprehensive account appeared by the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury, and today many single- and multi-volume histories are available.1 With- out the foundation this impressive body of work provides, the historical study of Sanskrit literature would be hard indeed to undertake. At the same time, this scholarship, like all human works, has been shaped by the categories and assumptions of its times, and these seem especially vulnerable to criticism from the theoretical perspective adopted in the present volume. The difficulty of defining the object of analysis, to which the introduction to this volume has called attention, is in evidence everywhere in Sanskrit lit- erary scholarship. For many writers, “literature” embraces everything pre- served in writing, or even in speech. Narrower definitions prove to be arbi- trary stipulations or mere tautologies, and hand-me-down qualifiers such as “classical” are typically left unexplained.2 Implicitly, Sanskrit literature is usu- ally understood to be Brahmanical and, by preference, the oldest literature, the Veda, the body of orally transmitted texts of myth and ritual; post-Vedic Sanskrit literature remains for many present-day scholars merely “pretty” and “curious,” as the nineteenth-century scholar F. Max Müller put it, and 1. Weber 1852. Among the more influential texts following upon Weber are Müller 1859, Lévi 1890, Krishnamacariar 1906 (and 1937), Winternitz 1908–1922, and Keith 1923 and 1928.
