  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • A Guide to Introducing a Meditative Experience in Congregations a Joint Project of the FJMC and the Cantors Assembly
    A Guide to Introducing a Meditative Experience in Congregations A Joint project of the FJMC and the Cantors Assembly Purpose: This guide has been created to provide congregation decision makers with needed information to institute a Jewish Meditative experience in their synagogue on Shabbat morning in order to provide a Shabbat experience to those who either find the main service not to their liking or are searching for a more spiritual opportunity. The questions and answers that follow were designed to provide basic guidelines how to proceed. The accompanying essays seek to explain the authenticity of Jewish meditation. Introduction One of the greatest challenges synagogue professionals face is how to adapt traditional worship to a population that is becoming increasingly less engaged and more distant. In an attempt to bridge this gap learner’s services, rhythmic or instrumental music has in many cases been integrated into the Friday evening and Shabbat morning services. These efforts to some degree have been and continue to be successful but are dwarfed by the vast number of men and women who seek out spiritual experiences in the meditation and yoga worlds. These people are, by in large not attracted and do not find satisfying the traditional forms of Jewish worship In an attempt to attract this growing population a number of congregations have begun to introduce guided meditations into the traditional services or to offer meditative experiences in a separate venue. Unfortunately the decision makers in the congregation, while well intended, often lack the necessary background to maximize this effort. As a result, it is common in congregations for people to attend a meditative service and immediately following the service’s conclusion, leave.

  • Alekya: Spilling Ink at Dance Place by Rachael Appold
    REVIEW: “Alekya” Spilling Ink at Dance Place REVIEW: Alekya: Spilling Ink at Dance Place by Rachael Appold Intertwining spirituality, poetry, and dance can prove to be a significant task, as these three categories manifest in ways which are unique to each person. Spilling Ink took on this task using Classical Indian dance as their medium. I witnessed this collaboration of ideas, titled Alekhya: Spilling Ink, at Dance Place in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, January 29th, 2017. As the lights dimmed in the theater, a male dancer, Vijay Palaparty entered from upstage right. He moved onto the stage almost undetected; his walk was so soft that it would more accurately be described as a glide. Palaparty floated downstage right where six ceramic jars (five small and one large) awaited him. As he knelt down and executed water-like motions with his arms, a poem was recited through the speakers. The poet spoke of learning his own truth, your truth (the audience’s), and our truth (everyone’s); these truths presented the concept of religion and spirituality. This immediate collaboration of dance and poetry became a motif which would be used to preface each piece in the performance. Each time Palaparty would return to his jars, the other dancers would leave the stage and a new element was added. The third time around, the poet’s words were scrawled in subtitles on the stage floor with a projector, lending itself to the idea of writing in ink. The fourth time, the other dancers stayed onstage, swaying their arms and torsos as Palaparty hovered over his jars.

  • A Thematic Production in Bharatanatyam a Thematic
    “Krishna as child, lover and God ……. … … . p l a y f u l , r o m a n ti c a n d a w e - i n s p i r i n g b y tu r n s … … . …….evoking wonder in Yas hoda, enchantment among the Gopis, devotion in Andal, yearning in Meera, ageless love in Radha, and unswerving dedication in Rukmini” A Thematic Production in Bharatanatyam presented by students of Shree Bharatalaya, Chennai, India and Silambam, USA An internationally acclaimed Bharatanatyam production, Krishnam Vande Jagatgurum was originally conceived and choreographed in 1989 by Prof. Sudharani Raghupathy, with music scored by Vidwan Madurai N. Krishnan, for the Madras Chapter of the International Dance Alliance. Since its premiere, Krishnam Vande Jagatgurum has been performed widely to packed audiences, and had a most successful tour of the United States in 1992. Fifteen years later, Padmashree Prof. Sudharani Raghupathy’s senior disciples, now performers and teachers in their own right, based in various locations in North and Central America, have come together to bring this premiere production back to the stage in the United States. Krishnam Vande Jatagurum takes the audience on a two-hour journey through the life and exploits of Krishna. Beginning with an invocation, the dancers depict the Dashavataram of Jayadeva, which presents the concept of Krishna as the Avatari. The narrative begins with the poet Andal as the Sutradhari or Narrator. Andal describes the baby Krishna with indulgent love and joy, and the audience is treated to the scene of the baby Krishna playing with Yashoda and the Gopis.
