  • The Caste Question: Dalits and the Politics of Modern India
    chapter 1 Caste Radicalism and the Making of a New Political Subject In colonial India, print capitalism facilitated the rise of multiple, dis- tinctive vernacular publics. Typically associated with urbanization and middle-class formation, this new public sphere was given material form through the consumption and circulation of print media, and character- ized by vigorous debate over social ideology and religio-cultural prac- tices. Studies examining the roots of nationalist mobilization have argued that these colonial publics politicized daily life even as they hardened cleavages along fault lines of gender, caste, and religious identity.1 In west- ern India, the Marathi-language public sphere enabled an innovative, rad- ical form of caste critique whose greatest initial success was in rural areas, where it created novel alliances between peasant protest and anticaste thought.2 The Marathi non-Brahmin public sphere was distinguished by a cri- tique of caste hegemony and the ritual and temporal power of the Brah- min. In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Jotirao Phule’s writings against Brahminism utilized forms of speech and rhetorical styles asso- ciated with the rustic language of peasants but infused them with demands for human rights and social equality that bore the influence of noncon- formist Christianity to produce a unique discourse of caste radicalism.3 Phule’s political activities, like those of the Satyashodak Samaj (Truth Seeking Society) he established in 1873, showed keen awareness of trans- formations wrought by colonial modernity, not least of which was the “new” Brahmin, a product of the colonial bureaucracy. Like his anticaste, 39 40 Emancipation non-Brahmin compatriots in the Tamil country, Phule asserted that per- manent war between Brahmin and non-Brahmin defined the historical process.

  • Chapter Vi Religious Fairs in Maharashtra
    CHAPTER VI RELIGIOUS FAIRS IN MAHARASHTRA CHAPTER - VI RELIGIOUS FAIRS IN MAHARASHTRA 1) INTRODUCTION: Pair is one of the oldest socio-economic and cultural institutions that served a variety of purposes during the past and it serves them, even now. The practice of pilgrimage in Hinduism follows from some of the basic underpinnings of its philosophy. Perhaps the earliest allusion to the practice of pilgrimage in Indian literature is to be found in the Aitareya Brahmana of the Rigveda. References to pilgrimage are also found in various religious scriptures as "Nadistuti" (river-hymn), Manu Smrlti and Puranas. The practice of Pilgrimage, with its ancient and diverse origins, continues to be popular among the Hindus. In fact, one can mention, without fear of contradiction, that more people now visit more sacred places than ever before in the history of India . This can be explained on the ground that increased facilities of travel are offered by government and private agencies. Several tourist agencies offer round tour packages providing for visits to places of religious interest and large cities etc. Even students visit religious and other places of interest on study tours by chartered buses hired by the school authorities. Of course, this new trend is the result of ever increasing rural and urban prosperity on the one hand and the general trend of travelling to different areas partly as a need of the modern civilization and partly the affliction -119- for one's own religion. In ancient times most people lived on farms or on large estates. There were no shops. Also there were not enough goods or people for daily trade.

  • The Vithoba Temple of Pan<Jharpur and Its Mythological Structure
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 19S8 15/2-3 The Vithoba Faith of Mahara§tra: The Vithoba Temple of Pan<Jharpur and Its Mythological Structure SHIMA Iwao 島 岩 The Bhakti Movement in Hinduism and the Vithobd Faith o f MaM rdstra1 The Hinduism of India was formed between the sixth century B.C. and the sixth century A.D., when Aryan Brahmanism based on Vedic texts incor­ porated non-Aryan indigenous elements. Hinduism was established after the seventh century A.D. through its resurgence in response to non-Brah- manistic traditions such as Buddhism. It has continuously incorporated different and new cultural elements while transfiguring itself up to the present day. A powerful factor in this formation and establishment of Hinduism, and a major religious movement characteristic especially of medieval Hin­ duism, is the bhakti movement (a religious movement in which it is believed that salvation comes through the grace of and faith in the supreme God). This bhakti movement originated in the Bhagavad GUd of the first century B.C., flourishing especially from the middle of the seventh to the middle of the ninth century A.D. among the religious poets of Tamil, such as Alvars, in southern India. This bhakti movement spread throughout India through its incorporation into the tradition of Brahmanism, and later developed in three ways. First, the bhakti movement which had originated in the non-Aryan cul­ ture of Tamil was incorporated into Brahmanism. Originally bhakti was a strong emotional love for the supreme God, and this was reinterpreted to 1 In connection with this research, I am very grateful to Mr.

  • Section Two Extant Remains
    5 6 SECTION TWO EXTANT REMAINS. ^1 As yet there is ao scientific record of the murals that exist in the area studied in this dissertation. The buildings which contain these are now very old. lilany of them are dilapidated, most are in a sad state of repairs. It is doubtful if many of the pieces seen and recorded by the author would remain intact for any length of time. A most precious treasure would be irretriveably lost. No student can do anything to prevent this decay and disintegration. But the next best, viz. verbal and photographic recording of the paintings as data for reconstructing of our cultural history, can and has been done. And since, a study like this one is the most proper place for recording such data, this section contains elaborate descriptions of the murals surveyed and studied by the author. It has increased to some extent the length of the work, but this has been accepted as a necessary evil - if it can be called one. District Ahmadnagar There were a number of monumeats in and around the city of Ahmadnagar built during the times of the Nizamsh^^hi rulers. Most of these are now in ruins. During the Maratha period a number of places like Nevase, Toke etc. acq.uired a large nmber of beautiful buildings. But for a few temples in stone, very little now remains. The only place where sizeable remains of murals were discovered was Benawadi. 63 Benawadi - Harinarayana Math - The Harinarayana Math at Benawadi in Ahmednagar district preserves some beautiful paintings in the mandapa adjoining the main shrine.

CHAPTER 7—RELIGION AND GODS OF MAHARASHTRA IN MAHARASHTRA A MAJORTY OF PEOPLE OF ALL CASTES worship as family deity either one or two of the following Gods : (1) The Mother—goddess. (2) Shiva (3) Khandoba. The fourth God is Vithoba. He is worshipped and revered by most Marathi people but he is not the family deity of many families. Another very popular God is Maruti. The God is known as “ Hanumanta” in Maharashta, Karnatak and Andhra Pradesh, as “ Anjaneya “ in Tamilnad and “ Mahabir “ in the north. He is, however, never a family deity. Other Gods, besides these, are Vishnu, with his incarnations of Ram, Krishna, Narsimha, in rare cases Vamana, A count taken while doing field work in Satara showed that only a minority of people belonging to Brahmin, Maratha, and Mali castes claimed Rama, Krishna, Narsimha as their family deities. Of these again a small number only are worshippers of Narsimha. Narsimha used to be not an uncommon given name in Andhra, Karnatak and Maharashtra1. Dr. S. V. Ketkar wrote that there was an ancient King of Maharashtra called Narsimha perhaps then as later, parts of Maharashtra, Andhra and Karnatak were under one rule. The name would change to Narsu or Narsia in common parlance. It is possible that Narsimha was a legendary hero in this area. He is also connected in a legend of the Chenchu, a tribe from Andhra. People worship many gods Worshippers of Shiva also worship Vishnu.

    GLIMPSES OF THE GOD-MAN MEHER BABA Volume VI (March 1954 – April 1955) By Bal Natu An Avatar Meher Baba Trust eBook June 2011 Copyright © 1994 by Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust, Ahmednagar, India Source: This eBook reproduces the original edition of Glimpses of the God-Man, Meher Baba, Volume VI, published by Sheriar Foundation (North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) in 1994. eBooks at the Avatar Meher Baba Trust Web Site The Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s eBooks aspire to be textually exact though non-facsimile reproductions of published books, journals and articles. With the consent of the copyright holders, these online editions are being made available through the Avatar Meher Baba Trust’s web site, for the research needs of Meher Baba’s lovers and the general public around the world. Again, the eBooks reproduce the text, though not the exact visual likeness, of the original publications. They have been created through a process of scanning the original pages, running these scans through optical character recognition (OCR) software, reflowing the new text, and proofreading it. Except in rare cases where we specify otherwise, the texts that you will find here correspond, page for page, with those of the original publications: in other words, page citations reliably correspond to those of the source books. But in other respects—such as lineation and font—the page designs differ. Our purpose is to provide digital texts that are more readily downloadable and searchable than photo facsimile images of the originals would have been. Moreover, they are often much more readable, especially in the case of older books, whose discoloration and deteriorated condition often makes them partly illegible.

  • Hinduism and Its Attachment to Mother Earth
    93 Hinduism and its Attachment to Mother Earth Prof. Jyoti Bhatia Introduction Hinduism is a diverse pattern of religion, within which most elementary mythologies can be found including the faith of inanimate objects like stones, rivers, stars, planets to animate objects like trees, animals, birds, plants, ancestors and spirits. It also presents itself as a fruitful field for most elevated beliefs that seek to reach not only the joining of the soul with a personal God- the creator of the universe, but also to overcome this dualistic approach by realizing one’s identity with the holy spirit. Hinduism is a universal expression of the religion and philosophy of Indians; thereby rightly pointed as a museum of humanity. According to Dr. Pankaj Jain, Assistant Professor of South Asian Religions and Ecology,University of North Texas- Hinduism contains numerous references to the worship of the divine in nature in its Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Sutras, and its other sacred texts. Millions of Hindus recite Sanskrit mantras daily to revere their rivers, mountains, trees, animals, and the earth. Hinduism recognizes that the human body is composed offive elements (panchtattva) and connects each of the elements to our senses. The human nose is related to earth, tongue to water, eyes to fire, skin to air, and ears to wind/ vayu. This bond between our senses and the elements is the foundation of our human relationship with the natural world. The paper is an attempt at giving knowledge on Hindu religion and its beliefs segregating various elements and creatures (sankhya) on this Earth- Water (jal), Air(vayu), Fire(agni), Land (prithvi).It also covers Hindu religion beliefs and its relationship with the living creatures on this earth- birds, animals, trees and plants.
