Sadhana Dipika [This is an interesting text. There appear to be many original verses sprinkled throughout the text, many of which are incomplete. Some of the verses don’t follow any regular meter and some work is needed to edit this text. Some verses are likely quotes, but I haven’t been able to trace them. I have used Haridas Shastri’s edition, and have not had access to another. It would be worth finding other manuscripts in order to produce a true critical edition.] çré -sä dhanä -dé pikä prathama-kakñ ä amandaà vå ndävana-mandirodare suhema-ratnävali-citra-kuö ö ime | sahopaviñ ö aà priyayä samänayä govinda-säkñ äd-bhagavantam äçraye ||1|| saàsära-küpe patitän açeñ än uddhartu-kämaù kali-käla-lokän | yaù präduräsé t kila gauòa-deçe caitanya-candraà tam ahaà prapadye ||2|| çré -caitanya-priyatamaù çré mad-rädhä-gadädharaù | tat-paré vara-rüpasya çré -govinda-prasevanam || tayoù sat-prema-sat-pätraà çré -rüpaù karuëämbudhiù | tat-päda-kamala-dvandve ratir me syäd vraje sadä ||3|| tadé ya-sevädhipatià mahäçayaà samasta-kalyäëa-gauëaika-mandiram | värendra-vipränvaya-bhüñ aëaà guruà bhaje’niçaà çré -hari-däsa-saàjïakam ||4|| yat-sevayä vaçaù çré mad-govindo nanda-nandanaù | payasä saàyutaà bhaktaà yäcate karuëämbudhiù ||5|| kià cäsmin kadäcid vasanta-väsarävasare rätrau räsa-maëòale bhramati sati saàcäriëyäù çré -

  • An Introduction to Hinduism
    A guide to various aspects of Indian religious thought and inter-religious understanding and religious tolerance. "Its chief mark consists in concentration on the spiritual aspect, belief in the intimate relationship of philosophy and life, the inseparability of theory and practice and the insistence on intuition coexisting with the acceptance of authority." I have summarised and rearranged the material so that some of them could more easily and logically fit into the sub-headings I have created for the western readers of my Web-site. Otherwise the contents of the original text remains unchanged except a few amendments and correction I have made. Your suggestion, comments and criticisms are greatly appreciated. Giessen, 17 November 1999 Prakash Arumugam - AN INTRODUCTION TO HINDUISM by Dr C.P.Ramaswami Aiyar, Dr Nalinaksha Dutt, Prof. A.R.Wadia, Prof. M.Mujeeb, Dr Dharm Pal and Fr.

"CHAPTER Vlll - Religion " An introduction to Hinduism - 1 - copy right © 1999-2000 Prakash Arumugam An Introduction It has been pointed out by Dr. Arnold J. Toynbee1, in A Study of History, that the principal civilisations of the world lay different degrees of emphasis on specific lines of activity. Hellenic civilisation, for instance, displays a manifest tendency towards a prominently aesthetic outlook on life as a whole. Indian civilisation, on the other hand, shows an equally manifest tendency towards a predominantly religious outlook. Dr. Toynbee's remark sums up what has been observed by many other scholars.

India. Jīva Gosvāmi is one of the grammarians of the medieval period amongst whom are Bhartṛhari (grammarian),Kumārila Bhatta, Maṇḍana Miśra, Vācaspati Miśra, Haradatta (Padamañjari), Prabhākara, Śākaṭāyana, Śālikanātha, and Virahānka; ("medieval" is taken to cover the Middle kingdoms of India from the Gupta period until the Mughal era). Bhartṛhari was a Sanskrit author who is understood to have written the Vākyapadīya, on 1 Sanskrit grammar and linguistic philosophy,a foundational text of the Sphoṭa theory in the Indian grammatical tradition. He is also considered to be the author of Bhattikāvya. Kumārila Bhaṭṭa and his followers in the Mīmāmsā tradition (known as Bhāṭṭas) argued for a strongly compositional view of semantics (called abhihitānvaya). In this view, the meaning of a sentence was understood only after understanding first the meanings of individual words. Maṇḍana Miśra (c. 8th century CE) was a Hindu philosopher, who wrote on the Mīmāmsā and Advaita systems of thought, and was a student and follower of Ādi Śankara.

  • Sri Harinamamrita Vyakaranam
    || Sri Sri Gaura Gadadharau Vijayetam || PATRIKA 2 Editorial In the previous part, we had seen that the fault of Bhagavad‐bahirmukhatha (aversion to God) is the cause of all the misery and evil. Bhagavad‐unmukhatha (turning towards God) is the cause of removing all miseries and attaining Supreme bliss. Those who have Bhagavat‐unmukhata have a natural liking for serving everything connected with God, like Guru, Govind, Go, Shastras, etc. However, this atma, or self, has been in avidya (ignorance of God) from beginningless time. Therefore, this Bhagavat‐unmukhata (turning towards God) does not appear pleasing to most of the people in this world; in fact it appears to be bitter. But there is no need to be anxious due to this, because, by practising bhagavad‐unmukhatha for some time, they gradually appear to be pleasing. Just as Sri Rupa Gosvamiji has written in the Sri Upadeshamrita (7): syät kåñëa-näma-caritädi-sitäpy avidyä-pittopatapta-rasanasya na rocikä nukintv ädaräd anudinaà khalu saiva juñöä svädvé kramäd bhavati tad-gada-müla-hantré “The name, activities, qualities, etc. of Sri Krishna, which are like sugar candy, do not appear tasty to a person who is afflicted by the jaundice of avidya. However, by continuously eating this sugar candy, which is in the form of serving Sri Krishna’s names, activities and qualities (in accordance with the desires of Sri Guru) in a careful manner, they gradually start to appear tasty and they also destroy the very root of ignorance, which is like the disease of jaundice.” It is our desire that by reading and contemplating on the contents of this magazine, the taste towards matters related to Bhagavan develop in intelligent people.
