Institute for Oriental Study, Thane has been conducting seminars since 1982. Various scholars from India and abroad have contributed to the seminars. Thus, we have a rich collection of research papers in the Institute. Indian philosophy and religion has always been topics of interest to the west since opening of Sanskrit literature to the West from late 18th century. Eminent personalities both in Europe and American continents have further contributed to this literature from the way they perceived our philosophy and religion. The topic of this seminar is important from that point of view and almost all the participants have contributed something new to the dialogue. I am extremely thankful to all of them. Dr. Vijay V. Bedekar President Institute for Oriental Study, Thane 2 About Institute Sir/Madam, I am happy to inform you that the Institute for Oriental Study, Thane, founded in 1984 has entered into the 24th year of its existence.

The Semiotics of Axiological Convergences and Divergences1 Ľubomír Plesník
DOI: 10.2478/aa-2020-0004 West – East: The semiotics of axiological convergences and divergences1 Ľubomír Plesník Professor Ľubomír Plesník works as a researcher and teacher at the Institute of Literary and Artistic Communication (from 1993 to 2003 he was the director of the Institute, and at present he is the head of the Department of Semiotic Studies within the Institute). His research deals primarily with problems of literary theory, methodology and semiotics of culture. Based on the work of František Miko, he has developed concepts relating to pragmatist aesthetics, reception poetics and existential semiotics with a special focus on comparison of Western and oriental epistemes (Pragmatická estetika textu 1995, Estetika inakosti 1998, Estetika jednakosti 2001, Tezaurus estetických výrazových kvalít 2011). Abstract: This study focuses on the verbal representation of life strategies in Vetalapanchavimshati, an old Indian collection of stories, which is part of Somadeva’s Kathasaritsagara. On the basis of the aspect of gain ~ loss, two basic life strategies are identified. The first one, the lower strategy, is defined by an attempt to obtain material gain, which is attained at the cost of a spiritual loss. The second one, the higher strategy, negates the first one (spiritual gain attained at the cost of a material loss) and it is an internally diversified series of axiological models. The core of the study explains the combinatorial variants which, in their highest positions, even transcend the gain ~ loss opposition. The final part of the study demonstrates the intersections between the higher strategy and selected European cultural initiatives (gnosis). 1. Problem definition, area of concern and material field Our goal is to reflect on the differences and intersections in the iconization of gains and losses in life between the Western and Eastern civilizations and cultural spheres. -

Ortaya koyduğu toplum teorisi ve erken modern Batı toplumu örnekliği ile yazıldığı dönemin ender eserlerinden biri olan Arılar Masalı, bu çalışmada öncelikle döneminin düşünsel birikiminin bir parçası olarak değerlendirilecektir. Daha sonra metnin şu ana kadarki iktisadi ve ahlaki açıklama ve yorumlarının ötesine geçilmeye çalışılarak, edebi bir metin olarak ele alınacaktır. Fabl türü ve temsil getirme metodu ile siyasi ve ahlaki bir toplum teorisi kuran eserin, bir edebiyat ürünü olarak döneminin neresinde bulunduğu açıklanacaktır. -

Indian Children's Literature in Ancient Epoch – a Bird's Eye View
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RESEARCH CULTURE SOCIETY ISSN: 2456-6683 Volume - 5, Issue - 3, Mar - 2021 Monthly Peer-Reviewed, Refereed, Indexed Journal Scientific Journal Impact Factor: 5.743 Received on : 15/03/2021 Accepted on : 26/03/2021 Publication Date: 31/03/2021 Indian Children’s Literature in Ancient Epoch – A Bird’s Eye View Dr.J. Sripadmadevi Assistant Professor, Department of English PSG College of Arts & Science, Coimbatore – 14, Tamilnadu, India. E-Mail Id: [email protected] Abstract: Since India is a land of affluent stories and folktales, a strong verbal tradition vehemently imprints its mark on Children’s literature, which can be traced back to at least ten thousand years in the form of lullabies, cradle songs, tongue twisters, nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Consequently, India can also be termed as the cradle of Children’s literature; and this is mainly because of its rich oral tradition. The orally transmitted stories paved way for the augmentation of this literary domain by having a steady and firm reservoir of stories especially in the primeval times of India. Hence the present paper focusses on the genesis and augmentation of Literature for children in India in the ancient epoch. Keywords: Children’s literature, India, Stories, ancient days. Key Words: 1. INTRODUCTION: Mapping out the development of Children’s literature seems to be equivalent to trace the genesis of literature in India, since in the primordial times, literature is meant for both the adults and young people. Accordingly, the art and literature have been developed for the enjoyment of the entire family. Children’s literature in India, as a separate genus, is a fairly recent phenomenon. -
Evolution of Ayar-E-Danish
EVOLUTION OF AYAR-E-DANISH Md. Marghoob Zia Department of Persian, Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi, India ABSTRACT: In the era of Persian literature when we talk about the history and evolution of Persian literary works, Ayar-e-Danish is amongst those famous literary works which has gained its popularity in the entire world. Ayar-e-Danish was written by Shaikh Abul Fazl Allami in 1588 A.d during the reign of Akbar which was considered as the golden period in the history of the Mughals. This literary work is translation of the famous Sanskrit book “Panchatantra” which is an ancient India collection of animal fables and often considered as a common folklore in India. There were many translations of the Panchatantra before Ayar-e-Danish and this article will highlight the various translations of this folklore and later it will elaborate the Ayar-e-Danish in a large scale. HOW THE PANCHATANTRA JOURNEY STARTED IN IRAN? Panchatantra is the famous book written by Pandit Vishnu Sharma. This book was first translated in the Pahlavi language by Hakeem Burzoy in the year 1550 titled as Kartak-wa-Damnak. The Arabic translation of this book was done by Abd- allah ibn al-Muqaffa and it was given the title of Kalilah-wa-Dimnah. In the Kalila wa Dimnah, it is believed he deliberately used characters from other cultural contexts to suggest the need for political reform in the Abbasid period.Rudaki translated the Panchatantra in a poetic form under the order of the Sultan of the Samanid period, Abul Fazl Muhammad Balami. -

The text was gone over again with Dr. Virasinha a few years later, after 1 had located the parallel Pilli text and the relevant COlmnentaries. After another manuscript of the text was located in Sri Lanka, I tried to get a transcription of this but without success. This was tried again in the beginning of 2001 through the offices of the Venerable Pandit Kurunegoda Piyatissa Maha Thera of the New York Buddhist Vihara, again without success. When 1. Liyanaratne 1983 had appeared, however, a third manuscript of the text had been located in the collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. This was obtained in microtilm copy in late 2000, and the specific text in question was located in the larger manuscript with the help of the Venerable Piyatissa in the slunmer of 2001. -
The Theology of Jacob Ben El'azar's Hebrew Version Of
Alan VERSKIN Columbia University THE THEOLOGY OF JACOB BEN EL‘AZAR’S HEBREW VERSION OF IBN AL-MUQAFFA‘’S KALILAH WA-DIMNAH1 RÉSUMÉ Kalilah va-dimnah, de Jacob ben Éléazar (mort en 1233), est une version hébraïque du célèbre texte arabe de conseils pour les princes écrit par ‘Abdallah Ibn al- Muqaffa‘ (mort vers 756), qui présente un point de vue sceptique envers la religion organisée et qui glorifie le pouvoir de la raison indépendante — position clairement opposée aux enseignements des rabbins. C’était un des nombreux textes arabes non- juifs qui posaient un problème à deux niveaux aux médiateurs culturels qui voulaient transmettre la littérature arabe aux lecteurs juifs. (1) Les traducteurs de l’arabe vou- laient créer une expression hébraïque qui préserverait l’élan et l’esprit de l’original et montrerait la richesse de la langue hébraïque. Pour atteindre cet objectif, Ben Éléazar employait des réarrangements créatifs de citations bibliques en prose rimée. Quelques-unes des citations ne sont que de l’ornementation littéraire, mais il y en a d’autres qui sont des figures de style intertextuelles dont le sens doit être déterminé à partir de leurs contextes bibliques originaux. (2) Ben Éléazar espérait aussi judaï- ser le contenu de l’œuvre d’Ibn al-Muqaffa‘. Son travail est en fait une réinterpré- tation du texte original. Ben Éléazar formule une réponse complexe et subtile, bien qu’évidemment rabbinique, aux enseignements d’Ibn al-Muqaffa‘, et il offre sa propre théorie de la nature du mal humain, des problèmes de la théodicée, et de la nature du sort décrété par Dieu. -

Eén kunststuk - want alles is één in deze stad, stralend van de zelfde schoonheid, ademend den zelfden bovenaardschen vrede, ingetogen in de zelfde vroomheid, dragend het zelfde diep ingeprent karakter van mystieke zaligheid: de torens rijzend in de stille, sober gekleurde lucht, het roerlooze water, het hangende loof, de gothische nokken beschenen door gulden avondlicht. O Brugge, levend gedicht in steen, geluidlooze zang, gebed gevat in onsterfelijke kunstvormen, gij zijt niet alleen het keurigste juweel van onze vaderlandsche kroon, in U is nog de bronader, het hart te zoeken van ons innigste Vlaamsch leven, dat leven gekneed uit vroomheid en vrede. Vroomheid en vrede ging ik er ook zoeken. Mijn gemoed, geschokt door diepe zielesmart, haakte naar de lafenis van zoetvloeiende zangen, naar het vermeien in frissche kleuren: het congres van kerk- Dietsche Warande en Belfort.

Zang, kleur, gebouwen, alles smolt in een tot één geheel van artistieke schoonheid, van streelende bekoorlijkheid. De muziek vooreerst: stijgend, zwevend, in elkander smeltend, en sluitend in de omhelzing der volkomene liefde, klonken de hemelsche tonen der zestiende eeuwsche meesters - Vittoria, Orlandus Lassus, Palestrina, - en ontvoerden de ziel op vleugelen van ideale schoonheid ten hooge, in de reine sfeer van 't bovenaardsche. -
Les Fables De La Fontaine Et Leurs Sources Orientales
Les Fables de La Fontaine et leurs Sources Orientales Dr. Mohammed Hadjadj-Aoul Université de Tlemcen Synergies Algérie Résumé : En matière de fables, les sources de La Fontaine ont été aussi diverses que variées. Deux grands pôles cependant retiennent l’attention du 243-250 n° 5 - 2009 pp. comparatiste ; il s’agit de la double source antique occidentale et orientale, en l’occurrence le Grec Esope et l’Indou Bidpay. Bien qu’elles aient agit sur lui parallèlement et à part égale, il reste que la source indoue demeure moins claire et moins bien expliquée tant dans les développements qu’a connus le texte qu’à travers les dédales méandriques parcourus en une vingtaine de siècles. Tâcher de rendre plus claires les voies empruntées par la fable orientale a été notre souci majeur dans cet exposé. Mots-Clés : Fable - Jean de La fontaine- Bidpay - Esope. Abstract: The sources of Jean de La Fontaine fables were diverse and varied. Two major centers, retained however the attention of comparative literature: the double antique Western and Eastern sources, and more exactly the Greek Esope and Hindu Bidpay. Although their influence were the same and equal, it is the Hindu source that remained less clear and less explained regarding the developments in the text through more than two decades. Our paper tries to clarify the routes token by the Eastern fable.
