  • Iasbaba's 60 Days Plan – Day 48 (History)
    IASbaba’s 60 Days Plan – Day 48 (History) 2018 Q.1) Consider the following pairs about Sufi philosophy. Philosophy Meaning 1. Waḥdat al-wujūd Unity of Existence 2. Waḥdat ash-shuhūd Unity of appearance 3. Al-Wujūd Al-Munbasiṭ Self-unfolding Being Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched? a) 1 only b) 1 and 2 only c) 1, 2 and 3 d) 3 only Q.1) Solution (c) Major ideas in Sufi metaphysics have surrounded the concept of weḥdah meaning "unity", or in Arabic tawhid. Two main Sufi philosophies prevail on this topic. waḥdat al-wujūd literally means the "Unity of Existence" or "Unity of Being" but better translation would be Monotheism of Existence. Wujud (i.e. existence) here refers to Allah's Wujud - implication is Wahdat/Tawheed Of Wujud Of Allah. On the other hand, waḥdat ash-shuhūd, meaning "Apparentism" or "Monotheism of Witness", holds that God and his creation are entirely separate. Al-Wujūd Al-Munbasiṭ (Self-unfolding Being) Shah Waliullah Dehlawi tried to reconcile the two (apparently) contradictory doctrines of waḥdat al-wujūd (unity of being) of Ibn Arabi and waḥdat ash-shuhūd (unity in conscience) of Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi. Shah Waliullah neatly resolved the conflict, calling these differences 'verbal controversies' which have come about because of ambiguous language. If we leave, he says, all the metaphors and similes used for the expression of ideas aside, the apparently opposite views of the two metaphysicians will agree. Do you know? While orthodox Muslims emphasise external conduct, the Sufis lay stress on inner purity. While the orthodox believe in blind observance of rituals, the Sufis consider love and devotion as the only means of attaining salvation.

  • Narsinh Mehta - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Narsinh Mehta - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Narsinh Mehta(1414? – 1481?) Narsinh Mehta (Gujarati:?????? ?????)also known as Narsi Mehta or Narsi Bhagat was a poet-saint of Gujarat, India, and a member of the Nagar Brahmins community, notable as a bhakta, an exponent of Vaishnava poetry. He is especially revered in Gujarati literature, where he is acclaimed as its Adi Kavi (Sanskrit for "first among poets"). His bhajan, Vaishnav Jan To is Mahatma Gandhi's favorite and has become synonymous to him. <b> Biography </b> Narsinh Mehta was born in the ancient town of Talaja and then shifted to Jirndurg now known as Junagadh in the District of Saurashtra, in Vaishnava Brahmin community. He lost his mother and his father when he was 5 years old. He could not speak until the age of 8 and after his parents expired his care was taken by his grand mother Jaygauri. Narsinh married Manekbai probably in the year 1429. Narsinh Mehta and his wife stayed at his brother Bansidhar’s place in Junagadh. However, his cousin's wife (Sister-in-law or bhabhi) did not welcome Narsinh very well. She was an ill- tempered woman, always taunting and insulting Narsinh mehta for his worship (Bhakti). One day, when Narasinh mehta had enough of these taunts and insults, he left the house and went to a nearby forest in search of some peace, where he fasted and meditated for seven days by a secluded Shiva lingam until Shiva appeared before him in person.

  • Bhakti Movement in India and Contributions to Gujarati Bhakti Poetry by Narsinh Mehta and Gangasati
    BHAKTI MOVEMENT IN INDIA AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO GUJARATI BHAKTI POETRY BY NARSINH MEHTA AND GANGASATI Prof. Ami Upadhyay Dr. Dushyant Nimavat Abstract: The devotional literature we find in India's regional languages is sometimes referred to as Bhakti's literature. Since the poets from Bhakti Panth are more social and cultural, they are more thinkers and more social than literary figures. The translation of classics is particularly meaningful when a native language is translated into English. The classics are introduced to the world. In contemporary Shri Aurobindo and Dilp Chitre did, what Hsuan-tsang did for Sanskrit scripts. A. K. Ramanujan has also made a strong flow of translation in the post-colonial literature and Bhakti has been one of these literatures. This article explores the devotional poems of Narsinh Mehta that are important even in the 21st century. Keywords: Bhakti Tradition, Bhakti poetry, Narsinh Mehta and Gangasati, Bhajans Bhakti poems played a major role in regional language development, because they highlighted the everyday language of the people and rejected the Sanskrit elite tradition. Bhakti questioned the caste system, as many of his poets came from the lower castes and the poetry's main theme is that in every individual God is. Some of Tamil was some of the earliest bhakti poetry. Out of the A.D. In 900, with the literature of devotion as the Vachanas, Kannada became an important influence of the saints of different Hindu sects. The mediaeval poets Basavanna and Allama Prabhu are popular Kannada. Sept, 2020. VOL.12.

  • PART I 1. Narsinh Mehta
    17 (2014) 104-158 rivista di ricerca teologica Premras påne tu morna picchadhar1 Gems of Bhakti Mysticism of Narsinh Mehta in the Letters of Francis Xavier by ROLPHY PINTO* Introduction To be religious in the postmodern times is to be interreligious.2 The saints in a given religion are the epitomes of their respective faith tradition. They live out one or more core tenets of their religious tradition in exemplary way. The saints give to the world a glimpse of the authenticity of their religion. The study of saints becomes a channel to grasp the pearls of wisdom of the religion they profess. While the nature of this article is interreligious, the scope is to restore the distorted image of Francis Xavier. He is perceived by some to be too aggressive in his missionary methods. For some, he is an ally of the Portuguese conquerors. A Hindu writer even brands him “a pirate in priest’s clothing”.3 To arrive at the desired end the method employed will be comparative. Francis Xavier will be compared with Narsinh Mehta, a man widely acclaimed as a bhakta4 and a saint. The purpose of the comparison is to glean from the Letters of Francis Xavier elements of bhakti mysticism and to redefine the spirituality of Xavier as a bhakti spirituality. This article seeks to answer the question, can Xavier be called a bhakta in the way Mehta is bhakta? * ROLPHY PINTO, docente di teologia presso l’Istituto di Spiritualità della Pontificia Università Gre- goriana; [email protected] 1 A line from padas of Mehta.

The plan estimates that the national cooling demand would grow 8 times in the next 20 years, which would result in a corresponding 5 to 8-fold rise in the demand for refrigerants that involve the use of HFCs. As part of the ICAP, the government has also announced targeted R&D efforts aimed at developing low-cost alternatives to HFCs. Such efforts are already underway at the Hyderabad-based Indian Institute of Chemical Technology and IIT Bombay. Other objectives - It will assess the cooling requirements across sectors and the associated refrigerant demand and energy use. The goals emerging from the suggested interventions stated in ICAP are, Goals Targets 20% to 25 % by Reduction of cooling demand across sectors 2037-38 25% to 30% by Reduction of refrigerant demand 2037-38 25% to 40% by Reduction of cooling energy requirements 2037-38 Skilling and certifying 100,000 Refrigeration and AC servicing sector technicians, in synergy with 2022-23 Skill India Mission Kigali Amendment Recently, India has ratified the Kigali Amendment to the 1989 Montreal Protocol for protection of the ozone layer.

  • Translation of Bhakti Poetry Into English: a Case Study of Narsinh Mehta
    Translation of Bhakti Poetry into English: A Case Study of Narsinh Mehta Sachin Ketkar Abstract Since the colonial times, translation into English by bilingual poet-translators is a strategy to decolonize one’s soul. The translators always wanted to locate themselves in the ‘true Indian society’ by translating what they conceive of as ‘truly Indian’. However, the notion of ‘true Indian’ has changed over the period of time. In case of translators of Indian literature into English like Sri Aurobindo, Indianness meant pan-Indian Sanskritic heritage while in the case of modernists like A.K. Ramanujan, Indianness means pre-colonial heritage in the modern Indian languages-the bhashas. As the poetics of Bhakti is largely indigenous, mass based, oral and performative, its translation into English whose poetics is predominantly elite, written and Westernized, involves intensely creative interaction between two widely disparate cultural domains. This interaction helps the translator overcome his own feeling of being cut off from his own cultural and social milieu and helps to rehabilitate and relocate his sensibility in the Indian context. This paper is a detailed discussion of my spiritually moving encounter of translating Narsinh Mehta, the renowned fifteenth century Gujarati poet into English. There is a discussion on the challenges arising out of the great divergence between two languages, cultures, poetics and traditions and the strategies I have used as a translator. Since colonial times, one of the predominant themes in Indian intellectual discourses is the quest for ‘true’ and ‘authentic’ Translation Today Vol. 3 Nos. 1 & 2, 2006 © CIIL 2006 Translation of Bhakti Poetry into English: A Case Study of Narsinh Mehta 249 national identity.

Narsinh Mehta: Narsinh Mehta is still a very liked and followed Gujarati poet/saint, notable as “Bhakta” – exponent of “Vaishnav” poetry. He lived during the fifteenth century. He was called “Aadi Kavi” (Sanskrit for “The First Among Poets”.). His Gujarati Bhajan – Vaishnava Jana To – was Mahatma Gandhi’s favorite and has become synonymous to him. Narsinh Mehta was born in a Nagar Brahmin family at Talaja and later moved to Junagadh in Saurashtra peninsula of modern-day Gujarat. His father held an administrative post in a royal court. He lost his parents when he was five years old. He could not speak until the age of eight. He was raised by his grandmother Jaygauri. He married Manekbai probably in the year 1429. Mehta and his wife stayed at his brother Bansidhar's house in Junagadh. However, Bansidhar's wife did not welcome Narsinh very well. She was an ill-tempered woman, always taunting and insulting Narsinh Mehta for his devotion (Bhakti). One day, when Narasinh Mehta had enough of these taunts and insults, he left the house and went to a nearby forest in search of some peace, where he fasted and meditated for seven days by a secluded Shiva lingam until Lord Shiva appeared before him in person.

  • The Image of God Presented in the Devotional Poems of Narsinh Mehta
    IF : 4.547 | IC Value 80.26 VolumVOLeUME-6, : 3 | Iss uISSUE-6,e : 11 | N ovembJUNE-2017er 2014 • ISSN • ISSN No N o2277 2277 - -8160 8179 Original Research Paper English Literature The Image of God Presented in the Devotional Poems of Narsinh Mehta Chintan Jayvant Ph.D. English Literature, Bhuj-Kutch, Gujarat (India) Arya ABSTRACT The medieval history of India is full of socio-political and religious upheavals that changed the straight-jacketed scenario of pre-medieval time. The spontaneous reformation that took place with the creations of Poet saints of the time brought drastic changes in the political, social and religious panorama . It mainly took its initiatives from the South Indian Movement propagated by the Alwār and Nayanār tradition of saints that advocated the Bhakti as a means to retain salvation. In Gujarāt, the systematic growth can be traced in the creations of Narsinh Mehta who is hailed as the Ādi Kavi for his earliest compositions in Gujarati. History of Gujarati Literature will always be indebted to Narsinh for his matchless creations. He presented the most complicated philosophies of Vedic Brāhminic religion in couple of lines with utmost ease and that is his mastery. He mostly propagated Premlakshanā Bhakti in his poems. In most of his poems he addressed God Krishna as his beloved and hence desperately urged for His benevolence. Unlike the earlier projection of God, he projected Krishna as a shepherd that dwelled among countryman in day to day life, taking care of their problems. Hence, he broke the conventional portrayal that was presented by the upper Sanskritized class and made Him a God of common man.
