The sense of objectivity, patience, capacity of sufference, and bravery to fight are often honoured in breach than on observance. Passage of ‘kaala maana’ from the days of Harischandra to Shri Rama to Krishna to the even the present Kali Yuga tends to gradually distort the human psyche in phases from bad to worse. Almighty being the ‘Antaratma’ is but a mute spectator. As Rama then, yet being subject to human impulses, had the ability to fight them against the representation of ‘Adharma’ and ‘Anyaaya’, as the bench mark of the then human. In similar conditions, other species in the next gradation were ‘Vanaras’ about whom is Kishkindha Ramayana all about, so ably picturised by the then contemporary Maharshi Valmiki still resurrected by the ‘Taala Grandhaas’. Vaanaras then were the alter ego of the species of Naraas. They had the representation of similar psyche as Manavas, of ‘chanchala buddhi’. Yet the best of their gradation too generated Mahatmas, Buddhiman, Parakramis, and Dharma Sheelas. Vaali had sought to inherit the qualities of Indra having attained Brahmas boon of invincibility. Sugriva of Surya’s qualities was an exceeding brain power and mastery in planning and ability to motivate others. Veera Anjaneya was unique in modesty, yet of brain- brawn- bravery besides dedication and devototion. Even as a youth, Angada had the grahana-dhaarana shakti, desha kaala jnaana, and the sense of gratitude. Being a female Vaanara, Tara Devi had the extraordinaly capability to convince others, be it Vaali her husband preventing him not to venture a repeated challenge of Sugriva suspecting Shri Rama’s friendship with Sugriva, or as Lakshmana who arrived at Kishkindha in fury as Rama Karya of Sitanveshana was delayed despite the rainy season was long over. Jambavan the Riksha Raja who since the times of ‘Vaamanavataara’ was such a symbol of bravery and dedication with the background of having made thousand ‘parikramas’ to the sky protruding magnitude of Vamana Deva! Like wise were the Vaanara Veeras like Shatabali, Sushena, Ahni Putra Neela, Suhotra, Gaja, Gavaksha, Mainda, Gandhamaadana and so on , each of them were the symbols of Virtue, Valour and above all of Commitment and dedication to Shri Rama the Yuga Purusha! The Action Place of this Script was the concentration of Vaanara Veeras around Kishkindha, between Anjanaadri Parvata and Rishyamooka Parvata [ near Hampi] being an unforgettable chapter of ‘Rama- Aayana’. That was the place where Hanuman met Rama Lahshmanas as behested by Sugriva to make sure that they were not the spies of his brother Vaali, lifted them by his shoulders up to Rishyamooka and checked their antecedents. Fortified by the blessings of HH Vijayendra Saraswati of Kanchi, I have been able to script the Essence of Valmiki Ramayana in four parts so far of Baala-Ayodhya-Aranya- and now the Kishkindha. Indeed, the ability and inspiration is His own as I happen to be the squirrel for the construction of Setu Bandhana with earnestness. Indeed, it is the trust that He has been reposing in us which inspires and encourages.

  • Art. IX.—On the Interpretation of the Veda
    303 ART. IX.—On, the Interpretation of the Veda. BY J. MUIR, Esq. I AM led to make some remarks on the subject of this paper by a passage in Mr. Cowell'3 preface to the fourth volume of the late Professor Wilson's translation of the Big- veda, which appears to me unduly to depreciate the services which have already been rendered by those eminent scholars both in Germany and in England who have begun to apply the scientific processes of modern philology to the explanation of this ancient hymn-collection. Mr. Cowell admits (p. vi.),— " As Vaidik studies progress, and more texts are published and studied, fresh light will be thrown on these records of the ancient world; and we may gradually attain a deeper insight into their meaning than the mediaeval Hindus could possess, just as a modern scholar may understand Homer more thoroughly than the Byzantine scholiasts." But he goes on to say :— "It is easy to depreciate native commentators, but it is not so easy to supersede them; and while I would by no means uphold Sayana as infallible, I confess that, in the present early stage of Vaidik studies in Europe, it seems to me the safer course to follow native tradition rather than to accept too readily the arbitrary con- jectures which continental scholars so often hazard." Without considering it necessary to examine, or defend, all the explanations of particular words proposed by the foreign lexicographers alluded to by Mr. Cowell, I yet venture to think that those scholars have been perfectly justified in com- mencing at once the arduous task of expounding the Veda on the principles of interpretation which they have adopted and enunciated.

  • “The Role of Specific Grammar for Interpretation in Sanskrit”
    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 9 ~ Issue 2 (2021)pp: 107-187 ISSN(Online):2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper “The Role of Specific Grammar for Interpretation in Sanskrit” Dr. Shibashis Chakraborty Sact-I Depatment of Sanskrit, Panskura Banamali College Wb, India. Abstract: Sanskrit enjoys a place of pride among Indian languages in terms of technology solutions that are available for it within India and abroad. The Indian government through its various agencies has been heavily funding other Indian languages for technology development but the funding for Sanskrit has been slow for a variety of reasons. Despite that, the work in the field has not suffered. The following sections do a survey of the language technology R&D in Sanskrit and other Indian languages. The word `Sanskrit’ means “prepared, pure, refined or prefect”. It was not for nothing that it was called the `devavani’ (language of the Gods). It has an outstanding place in our culture and indeed was recognized as a language of rare sublimity by the whole world. Sanskrit was the language of our philosophers, our scientists, our mathematicians, our poets and playwrights, our grammarians, our jurists, etc. In grammar, Panini and Patanjali (authors of Ashtadhyayi and the Mahabhashya) have no equals in the world; in astronomy and mathematics the works of Aryabhatta, Brahmagupta and Bhaskar opened up new frontiers for mankind, as did the works of Charak and Sushrut in medicine. In philosophy Gautam (founder of the Nyaya system), Ashvaghosha (author of Buddha Charita), Kapila (founder of the Sankhya system), Shankaracharya, Brihaspati, etc., present the widest range of philosophical systems the world has ever seen, from deeply religious to strongly atheistic.

Wilkinson: Configurations of the Indic States System 63 CONFIGURATIONS OF THE INDIC STATES SYSTEM David Wilkinson In his essay "De systematibus civitatum," Martin Wight sought to clari- fy Pufendorfs concept of states-systems, and in doing so "to formulate some of the questions or propositions which a comparative study of states-systems would examine." (1977:22) "States system" is variously defined, with variation especially as to the degrees of common purpose, unity of action, and mutually recognized legitima- cy thought to be properly entailed by that concept. As cited by Wight (1977:21-23), Heeren's concept is federal, Pufendorfs confederal, Wight's own one rather of mutuality of recognized legitimate independence. Montague Bernard's minimal definition—"a group of states having relations more or less permanent with one another"—begs no questions, and is adopted in this article. Wight's essay poses a rich menu of questions for the comparative study of states systems.

  • 16. Perennial Message of the Ramayana
    16. Perennial Message Of The Ramayana Sweeter than sugar is Rama's name Tastier than curds and Much sweeter than honey. Full of nectarine sweetness is Rama's name, Chant ever and anon the name of Rama. Students! The Ramayana depicts the triple qualifies of Sathwa, Rajas and Thamas. The relevance of the Ramayana is not confined to a particular time, place or circumstances. It is of universal significance for all times. Its relevance is not limited to India alone. The Ramayana holds out Rama as an embodiment of ideal qualities. As a son, friend, husband, master and ruler, He was an ideal without a parallel. In the world one may be an ideal son, but not an ideal friend. One may be an ideal friend, but not an ideal brother. But Rama stands out unique as an embodiment of all ideal attributes. Students should note an important aspect relating to the breaking of the bow of Shiva at the court of Janaka. Though the bow was broken, the string connecting the two ends of the bow did not break at all, for the two ends of the bow stand for Sita and Rama--Prakruthi and Purusha. In fact the bond between Rama and Sita, Paramaatma and Prakruthi is an unbreakable one. The Ramayana demonstrates the inseparable bond between Prakruthi and Purusha. The Ramayana has been divided into two sections: the Puurva Ramayana and the Utthara Ramayana. The Puurva Ramayana deals with the valorous deeds of Rama, his victory over indomitable heroes like Parashursama, Vaali and Ravana. These events speak of the dauntless courage, the matchless valour and the immense physical and mental prowess of Sri Rama.

  • Role of Environment in Vedic Literature
    IJA MH International Journal on Arts, Management and Humanities 7(1): 147-150(2018) ISSN No. (Online): 2319–5231 Role of Environment in Vedic Literature Puspa Saikia Assistant Professor, Department of Sanskrit, Ghanakanta Baruah College, Marigaon, Assam, INDIA (Corresponding author: Puspa Saikia) (Received 15 February, 2018, Accepted 27 April, 2018) (Published by Research Trend, Website: www.researchtrend.net) ABSTRACT: Environment is surrounding the whole gamut of diverse. It includes the land, water, vegetation, air and the whole range of the social order and covers all the disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, ecology, sociology etc. that affect and describe these interactions. Environment would automatically be protected through ethical and spiritual life of the people. Indian life rotates around Indian literature contained in Vedas, Upanishads, Epics and the puranas with dharmashastras in the background. Veda is considered the main source of knowledge. The Vedic literature gives us the genuine principles to adjust with our environment and lead a spiritual life full of bliss. The Veda specially has dealt in detail about various aspects of environment and showed more concern for ecology. Most of the environmental problems of the present day are essentially man made. The role of man is therefore important for shape the environment in perfect harmony. So the proper following of the Vedic techniques, methods and principles and the new knowledge generated through science and technological research should be employed to save the human beings from environmental degradation. I. INTRODUCTION Environment is surrounding the whole range in which we observed, experience and react to event and changes. Environmental Science in its broadest sense in the science of complex interactions that occur among the terrestrial, atmospheric, aquatic, living the anthropological environments and includes all the disciplines such as chemistry, biology, ecology, sociology etc.

  • The Upanishads Translated and Commentated by Swami
    The Upanishads Translated and Commentated by Swami Paramananda From the Original Sanskrit Text This volume is reverently dedicated to all seekers of truth and lovers of wisdom Preface The translator's idea of rendering the Upanishads into clear simple English, accessible to Occidental readers, had its origin in a visit paid to a Boston friend in 1909. The gentleman, then battling with a fatal malady, took from his library shelf a translation of the Upanishads and, opening it, expressed deep regret that the obscure and unfamiliar form shut from him what he felt to be profound and vital teaching. The desire to unlock the closed doors of this ancient treasure house, awakened at that time, led to a series of classes on the Upanishads at The Vedanta Centre of Boston during its early days in St. Botolph Street. The translation and commentary then given were transcribed and, after studious revision, were published in the Centre's monthly magazine, "The Message of the East," in 1913 and 1914.. Still further revision has brought it to its present form. So far as was consistent with a faithful rendering of the Sanskrit text, the Swami throughout his translation has sought to eliminate all that might seem obscure and confusing to the modern mind. While retaining in remarkable measure the rhythm and archaic force of the lines, he has tried not to sacrifice directness and simplicity of style. Where he has been obliged to use the Sanskrit term for lack of an exact English equivalent, he has invariably interpreted it by a familiar English word in brackets; and everything has been done to remove the sense of strangeness in order that the Occidental reader may not feel himself an alien in the new regions of thought opened to him.
