Self-Mortification and Self-Discipline in the Indian Wrestler As Discussed
Self-Mortification and Self-Discipline in the Indian Wrestler As discussed in Chapter Ten of Introducing Anthropology of Religion, Hindu society traditionally valorized self-mortification and asceticism not only for the religious “professional” like the monk or yogi but also for all males, who could and ideally should enter into the role or life-stage of samnyasa in later life. A Sanskrit word that means “abandonment” or “renunciation” (literally, “laying down everything”), it was a time for the sannyasin (male renouncer) and occasionally the sannyasini (the female renouncer) to “develop a categorically asocial attitude and style of life: he must go through life naked, alone, wandering, celibate, begging, fasting, and silent” (Alter 1992: 318). While we might profitably think of the religious ascetic as a sort of spiritual athlete, it is also worth considering that the athlete may be a sort of ascetic and renouncer. In pursuing with singular focus their goal, both may “lay down everything” in their quest for discipline and control, on the common premise of “No pain, no gain.” According to Joseph Alter, the practitioner of wrestling (pahalwani) in India “seeks to integrate ascetic values into the practice of everyday life by drawing a direct line between ascetic values, wrestling discipline, and the moral duty of the common citizen” (319). Like athletes in other societies, the “spatial, social, and substantive locus of a wrestler’s life is his akhara (gymnasium)”; unlike athletes in many societies, “Hindu akharas are dedicated to Hanuman, the wrestler’s patron deity” (319). In addition to the famous monkey-god, the gyms also feature “smaller shrines dedicated to Shiva, other gods and goddesses, and local saints. -

Religion and Gender 9 (2019) 27–49 brill.com/rag A Female Shankaracharya? The Alternative Authority of a Feminist Hindu Guru in India Antoinette E. DeNapoli Texas Christian University [email protected] Abstract This article examines the practices through which a female religious leader (guru) in India by the name of Trikal Bhavanta Saraswati (in shorthand, “Mataji”) constructs women’s alternative authority in a high powered lineage of male Hindu gurus called Shankaracharyas. Mataji’s appropriation of the Shankaracharya leadership demon- strates an Indic example of “dharmic feminism,” by virtue of which she advocates the female as normative and, through that radical notion, advances a dharmic platform for gender equality in institutions in which women rarely figure among the power elite. Through narrative performance, Mataji reshapes the boundaries of religious lead- ership to affirm new possibilities for female authority in a lineage that has denied women’s agency. Exploring her personal experience narratives and the themes they illuminate can shed light on why her leadership intervenes in an orthodox lineage of male authority to exercise alternative authority and exact transformation of contem- porary Hinduism.

Changing Pattern of Agricultural Marketing and Growth in Arid Rajasthan

D. Principal SDS College for Woman. Lopon Distt Moga Scholarly Research Journal's is licensed Based on a work at www.srjis.com Agricultural marketing occupies a key position in the economy of the countries like India, because it mobilizes latent economy energy for the fullest utilization of productive capacity and also provides a base for economic integration. The present system of agricultural marketing is a reflection of contemporary spatial organization of economy, as well as of social and political conditions. Therefore, there is a need to study the changing pattern of marketing system which not only unfold the entire growth ecology of the system but also provide a base for development or planning. Development of markets and marketing or market place exchange system is a result of a long play of factors, geo-economic as well as sociocultural and historical. Therefore, there is an argent need to study the temporal aspect of the development of marketing systems in order to understand their present nature. Although the history of the growth of marketing in Rajasthan is very much similar to that of northern India, yet it has its own characterstic features which can be explained by systematic analysis of the pattern of agricultural marketing in : i. Ancient Period, ii. Medieval Period, iii. British or PreIndependence Period, and iv. Modern or PostIndependence Period. -
