The focus of this study is in the develop of the language of "heritage" relating to the Hill starting in the mid-2000s that implicitly connected its heritage to the mythic events of the slaying of the buffalo-demon. This essay argues that the connection between the Hill and "heritage" grows from an assumption that the landscape is historically important because of its role in the myth of the goddess and the buffalo- demon, which is interwoven into the city's history. It demonstrates that this assumption is rooted within a local historical consciousness that places mythic events within the chronology of human history that arose as a negotiation of Indian and colonial understandings of historiography. Keywords: Hinduism; Goddess; India; Myth; History; Mysore; Chamundi Hills; Heritage 1. Introduction The landscape of India plays a crucial role for religious life in the subcontinent as its topography plays an integral part in the collective mythic imagination with cities, villages, mountains, rivers, and regions serving as the stage upon which mythic events of the epics and Purāṇas unfolded.

  • Praying Through Politics, Ruling Through Religion
    Praying through Politics, Ruling Through Religion: The Rajarajeswaram as an Instrument of Economic and Political Unification in the Chola Empire Preeti Talwai Andrew Shanken, GSI Kartikeya Date Architecture 170A 23 November 2010 Talwai 1 Introduction Sacred spaces throughout architectural history are rarely limited to reflecting religious ideology. Many layers of socio-cultural, political, or economic motives can be peeled away from famous religious buildings over time. The Hindu temple of South India is no exception. At first a purely religious institution, it evolved into an imperial political and economic instrument with an influence far beyond the religious sphere. This paper will examine the temple which is canonically considered the apex of Hindu temple architecture, which marked the shift to royal temple patronage: the Rajarajeswaram temple (Sri Brihadeshwara) at Tanjore, in modern day Tamil Nadu, India. Completed in 1010 C.E. during the reign of Rajaraja Chola I, the Rajarajeswaram is a monumental institution that relies on double-coding in its architectural forms to both religiously appeal to the masses as well as to politically control and economically benefit a vast empire. The paper will first lay out the background of the bhakti (devotional) temples to show their contrast with the royal temple. It will then address the temple’s architectural elements of structure, art, sculpture, and inscription in each main part of its layout, with respect to the novel political and economic meanings that the temple pioneered. Finally, the paper will discuss temple management and the monetary system of devadana, or land grants, the sustaining backbone of this new economic system.

Key words: Introduction, Ramayana, writing method of Valmiki and manuscriptology If an avid reader goes through between the lines of the text of Valmiki’s Ramayana, he obviously often encounters such a context from which it appears that a vast multitude of tales and legends mostly dealing with the rise and fall of ’s ancestors over many Rama generations have been memorized. To warrant such an inclusion of these stories to the main corpus of the Ramayana, which ordinarily consists of the narratives of Rama’s later military adventures 1, it may, however, be said that about the innermost thoughts and feelings of the poet bent upon to sketch his literary art, one does not possess adequate knowledge other than the little that can, perhaps, be inferred from the poet’s method of selection of the subject- matter for his work.

K. NARAYAN was born on October 10, 1906, in Madras, South India, and educated there and at Maharaja’s College in Mysore. His first novel, Swami and Friends (1935), and its successor, The Bachelor of Arts (1937), are both set in the fictional territory of Malgudi, of which John Updike wrote, “Few writers since Dickens can match the effect of colorful teeming that Narayan’s fictional city of Malgudi conveys; its population is as sharply chiseled as a temple frieze, and as endless, with always, one feels, more characters round the corner.” Narayan wrote many more novels set in Malgudi, including The English Teacher (1945), The Financial Expert (1952), and The Guide (1958), which won him the Sahitya Akademi (India’s National Academy of Letters) Award, his country’s highest honor. His collections of short fiction include A Horse and Two Goats, Malgudi Days, and Under the Banyan Tree. Graham Greene, Narayan’s friend and literary champion, said, “He has offered me a second home.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.
