Sri Sai University Palampur (Hp) “ Do not believe that you can by means of service reform or reshape the world. You may or may not; that does not matter. The real value of service, its most visible result is that it reforms you, reshapes you. Do service as a spiritual discipline; then you will be humble and happy. One should have the head of Shankara, the heart of Buddha and the hands of Janaka. An integrated personality is a harmonious synthesis of a sharp brain, a kind heart and competent hands; he is a beautiful combination of nobility and ability. Nobility without ability is useless to the society and ability without nobility is dangerous to it.” - Sri Sathya Sai Baba 1 There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children.

  • A Culture at Risk: an Initial Assessment of Seismic Vulnerabilities in Upper Dharamsala, India
    A Culture at Risk: An Initial Assessment of Seismic Vulnerabilities in Upper Dharamsala, India Submitted to the Flora Family Foundation October 31, 2006 200 Town and Country Village Palo Alto, CA 94301 USA Tel.: (650) 614-9050 Fax: (650) 614-9051 www.geohaz.org India: +91 98106 00821 Executive Summary A team assembled by GeoHazards International (GHI) conducted an initial assessment of earthquake vulnerabilities in Dharamsala, India from September 2-5, 2006, with funding from the Flora Family Foundation. Dharamsala is located in the foothills of the Himalaya Mountains, in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Numerous massive earthquakes leading to significant damage and loss of life have occurred on faults along the front of the Himalaya Mountains, which stretch from Pakistan to Burma. Earth scientists believe enormous earthquakes with magnitudes of 8.0 to 8.5 are overdue on several large sections of these faults. The most recent Himalayan earthquake, a magnitude 7.6 temblor in Kashmir in October 2005, was significantly smaller than the overdue earthquakes but still killed approximately 75,000 people in Pakistan and India. The Dharamsala area is vulnerable to a similar level of devastation from a large earthquake. Dharamsala is comprised of several settlements at various elevations above the Kangra Valley. McLeod Ganj, currently the center of the area’s Tibetan community, is a former British hill station that was nearly destroyed by the 1905 Kangra earthquake and then abandoned by the British. In 1960, the spiritual and political leader of Tibet, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, established his government-in-exile there after being granted asylum by the Indian government.

  • 7. from Drunken-Sage to Artiste, the Many Lives of the Tibetan Dekar
    HARMONY SIGANPORIA 7. FROM DRUNKEN-SAGE TO ARTISTE, THE MANY LIVES OF THE TIBETAN DEKAR A man was found in Kollegaal refugee camp in Karnataka’s Mysore district. He wore a Chuba, and was clearly drunk. He was unkempt and would occasionally “expose” his genitals, letting himself hang loose. People were revolted by him. He lived with, among, and like the stray dogs: children would call him names and throw stones at him. Sometimes though, he would come to be surrounded by people. This man would rise. He would sing and dance, and when he did, he spared nobody. In the face of his jesting, no one would leave—he had them enthralled. The community saw to his basic needs: on Tibetan New Year (Losar) and at other times of celebration, he was the life of the party, praying, singing, and jesting in choicest turns of phrase. This was the last Dekar Tenzin Tsundue saw ‘living’ his creed. The Dekar did not survive translation into exile, and what was once a life lived now exists only in the form of set-pieces ‘performed’ on certain auspicious occasions. This article is an exploration of the life—and after-life—of the Dekar—an itinerant repository of Tibetan folk memory and knowledges. INTRODUCTION It was in 1959 that His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, made his way to India. Alongside him and after him came thousands of Tibetans fleeing the abject persecution they were subjected to in their homeland in the wake of its invasion by Chinese forces in 1950.

  • TIBETAN STUDIES in DHARAMSALA SAMPLE RESEARCH PROPOSALS Revised On-Site in Dharamsala and Submitted Prior to Conducting Independent Research
    TIBETAN STUDIES IN DHARAMSALA SAMPLE RESEARCH PROPOSALS revised on-site in Dharamsala and submitted prior to conducting independent research SAMPLE ONE: Tibetan Modern Art This project will involve a study of Tibetan modern art in exile through research on both traditional and modern art forms and artists and through discussions with Tibetan artists living in exile. The main informants will be Tibetan modern artists living in McLeod Ganj and Dharamsala, and other Tibetan artists living outside of India. This research will also include artists’ experiences inside Tibet and/or China, but the focus will be on Tibetan modern artists (born or living) in exile. To gain insight into the various perspectives on Tibetan modern art, I will attempt to speak with many different informants in the community. In order to understand the main differences and similarities between traditional and modern Tibetan art forms I will be interviewing Thangka painters as well as those who commission and those who sell Thangka paintings. I will interview Tibetans who have purchased Tibetan modern art, restaurant owners, and different members in the community who may or may not be interested in Tibetan art for religious or decorative purposes. I will also interview foreigners who have seen exhibitions of Tibetan modern artists, as well as those who have not to gain a current “outsider’s perspective” on Tibetan image-making.
