CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION \ India Is a Land of Immense Variety, Not Only
CHAPTER I ( INTRODUCTION \ India is a land of Immense variety, not only in its physical features, climate and natural resources, but also, and perhaps more so, in its people, languages and culture. People at various stages of civilization from the very primitive to the highly advanced, and of various racial ancestries from the Negrito to the Nordic are found in this vast sub-continent. Successive advents of peoples of highly varied cultural and racial types into the land for thousands of years, have forced the original inhabitants, and possibly some of the subsequent settlers, into the relative security and freedom of the forests and hinterland of the country. These peoples who are found all the way from north to south, and east to west, form the tribal population of India, No exact estimate of their numbers has ever been made, nor will it be possible, < 'i L due to a variety of reasons. Census figures of tribes vary greatly from one Census to another, not so much due to natural demographic variations as to changing definitions and criteria in classifying peoples. The comparatively recent classification of a section of people as »Scheduled Tribes* is a political, rather than strictly ethnographic, 2 classification. Equally misleading is the classification of people according to Religion, as for instance, Hindus and Animists, or Hindus and Tribals. Kingsley Davies says: "Most inaccurate figures on religion in India are those covering the ’Tribals* (or ’Animists* as they were 1 called prior to the 1931 Census).** There is considerable dove-tailing between the lower forms of Hinduism and the higher forms of tribal religion; so that, it is impossible to draw a line of demardation. -

The Chirakkal Dynasty: Readings Through History
THE CHIRAKKAL DYNASTY: READINGS THROUGH HISTORY Kolathunadu is regarded as one of the old political dynasties in India and was ruled by the Kolathiris. The Mushaka vamsam and the kings were regarded as the ancestors of the Kolathiris. It was mentioned in the Mooshika Vamsa (1980) that the boundary of Mooshaka kingdom was from the North of Mangalapuram – Puthupattanam to the Southern boundary of Korappuzha in Kerala. In the long Sanskrit historical poem Mooshaka Vamsam, the dynastic name of the chieftains of north Malabar (Puzhinad) used is Mooshaka (Aiyappan, 1982). In the beginning of the fifth Century A.D., the kingdom of Ezhimala had risen to political prominence in north Kerala under Nannan… With the death of Nannan ended the most glorious period in the history of the Ezhimala Kingdom… a separate line of rulers known as the Mooshaka kings held sway over this area 36 (Kolathunad) with their capital near Mount Eli. It is not clear whether this line of rulers who are celebrated in the Mooshaka vamsa were subordinate to the Chera rulers of Mahodayapuram or whether they ruled as an independent line of kings on their own right (in Menon, 1972). The narration of the Mooshaka Kingdom up to the 12th Century A.D. is mentioned in the Mooshaka vamsa. This is a kavya (poem) composed by Atula, who was the court poet of the King Srikantha of Mooshaka vamsa. By the 14th Century the old Mooshaka kingdom had come to be known as Kolathunad and a new line of rulers known as the Kolathiris (the ‘Colastri’ of European writers) had come into prominence in north Kerala. -
Chapter Iv Traces of Historical Facts From
CHAPTER IV TRACES OF HISTORICAL FACTS FROM SANDESAKAVYAS & SHORT POEMS Sandesakavyas occupy an eminent place among the lyrics in Sanskrit literature. Though Valmiki paved the way in the initial stage it was Kalidasa who developed it into a perfect form of poetic literature. Meghasandesa, the unique work of Kalidasa, was re- ceived with such enthusiasam that attempts were made to emulate it all over India. As result there arose a significant branch of lyric literature in Sanskrit. Kerala it perhaps the only region which produced numerous works of real merit in this field. The literature of Kerala is full of poems of the Sandesa type. Literature can be made use of to yield information about the social history of a land and is often one of the main sources for reconstructing the ancient social customs and manners of the respective periods. History as a separate study has not been seriously treated in Sanskrit literature. Apart form literary merits, the Sanskrit literature of Kerala contains several historical accounts of the country with the exception of a few historical Kavyas, it is the Sandesakavyas that give us some historical details. Among the Sanskrit works, the Sandesa Kavya branch stands in a better position in this field (matter)Since it contains a good deal of historical materials through the description of the routes to be followed by the messengers in the Sandesakavyas. The Sandesakavyas play an impor- tant role in depicting the social history of their ages. The keralate Sandesakavyas are noteworthy because of the geographical, historical, social and cultural information they supply about the land. -

The Spotless Purana Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis, Please
The Spotless Purana Date: 2012-06-18 Author: Sharadha devi dasi Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev. The below is one of the verses which our Maharaj cherished from Srimad Bhagavatam 12.13.18 and hearing him recite this verse is a great blessing, śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ purāṇam amalaṁ yad vaiṣṇavānāṁ priyaṁ yasmin pāramahaṁsyam ekam amalaṁ jñānaṁ paraṁ gīyate tatra jñāna-virāga-bhakti-sahitaṁ naiṣkarmyam āviskṛtaṁ tac chṛṇvan su-paṭhan vicāraṇa-paro bhaktyā vimucyen naraḥ Srimad Bhagavatam is the spotless purana. It is most dear to the Vaishnavas because it describes the pure and supreme knowledge of the paramahamsas. This Bhagavatam reveals the means for becoming free from all material work, together with the processes of transcendental knowledge, renunciation and devotion. Anyone who seriously tries to understand Srimad Bhagavatam, who properly hears and chants it with devotion, becomes completely liberated. The word pāramahaṁsyam indicates that even completely liberated souls are eager to hear and narrate Srimad Bhagavatam. We will see how even demigods love to listen to Bhagavatam from the below incident. Once there lived an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna by name Poonthaanam. He worshipped Guruvayoorappan (Lord Krishna) with all his heart and soul. People loved him for his beautiful Bhagavatam discourses. There is a temple in North Kerala called Kottiyoor. The significant deity in the temple is Lord Siva. The temple was kept open only for a few days during a year. There were no human activities in that place for the rest of the year. Once Poonthaanam reached the Kottiyoor temple and had a bath in the holy river.
