  • Praktiser De Menneskelige Værdier Af Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
    Dato : 22. november 2006. Sted : Prasanthi Nilayam. Anledning : Åbningstale på Sathya Sai’s internationale sportscenter. Ordliste : De danske ord der er understreget i teksten, er at finde i ordlisten. Disse danske ord er oversættelser af sanskrit-ord, som også nævnes i ordlisten. Dette giver læseren mulighed for selv at undersøge sanskrit-ordenes dybere betydning. Praktiser de menneskelige værdier af Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Nu til dags føler mennesket sig stolt over, at han behersker mange grene inden for viden, og at han har studeret mange emner. Men mennesket forsøger ikke at forstå uddannelsens inderste væsen. I vore dage er lærdom begrænset til blot at omfatte fysiske og verdslige aspekter, og moralske, etiske og åndelige aspekter tilsidesættes. I dag gør forældre sig ihærdige anstrengelser for at skaffe deres børn en uddannelse. Men ingen prøver at forstå uddannelsens sande betydning. Folk tror, at de der kan tale meningsfuldt og sigende, og som har studeret mange bøger, er yderst veluddannede. Men sandheden er, at det blot viser, at de har viden om alfabetet og intet andet. Ren og skær viden om alfabetet kan ikke kaldes uddannelse. Udover at have kendskab til bogstaver, er man nødt til at kende betydningen af de ord og sætninger, som bogstaverne sammensætter. Idet han var klar over denne sandhed, indkaldte kong Krishnadevaraya til et stort møde. Han rejste et spørgsmål over for de forsamlede digtere og lærde. Til stede i denne forsamling var også otte berømte digtere fra Krishnadevaraya’s hof. De var kendt som Aashta diggajas. De var: Allasani Peddana, Nandi Thimmana, Madayyagari Mallana, Dhurjati, Ayyalaraju Ramabhadrudu, Pingali Surana, Ramarajabhushanudu og Tenali Ramakrishna.

  • The Moghal Empire Xvi PREFACE Published in the Original Text and in Translation
    The Moghal Empire xvi PREFACE published in the original text and in translation. We need better integration of the Indian and European sources by someone who reads Rajasthani, Persian, French, and Dutch, for example. For such new work our best hope lies in the originality of young historians from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. Finally, my most important goal is to offer a one-volume synthesis that will be comprehensible to the non-specialist. I hope that this book can be read with profit by anyone interested in this most fascinating of historical periods. If successful, the volume should create a context for further reading and study. In writing this volume I have become deeply conscious of my debt to colleagues in this field. I am especially grateful to Irfan Habib, Ashin Das Gupta, Satish Chandra, Tapan Raychaudhuri, and M. Athar Ali for their inspired scholarship and leadership in Mughal history over the past decades. Peter Hardy and Simon Digby have provided warm support and encouragement for my work over the years. A more immediate debt is to my two fellow editors, Gordon Johnson and Christopher Bayly, for their patience and their criticism. I especially wish to thank Muzaffar Alam for his incisive comments on an earlier draft. I have also benefited from discussions with Catherine Asher, Stewart Gordon, Bruce Lawrence, Om Prakash, Sanjay Subrahmanyam, and Ellen Smart. And, as always, I must thank my wife and children for their continuing love and understanding. 1 INTRODUCTION The Mughal empire was one of the largest centralized states known in pre-modern world history.

Pallava Period Devaram, written by Apper, simdarar and Sambandar gave references tot eh socio economic and the religious activities of the Pallava age. The religious oriented Nalayira Tivya Prabandam also provided materials to know the relation of the Pallavas with the contemporary rulers of South India. The Nandikkalambakam of Nandivarman III and Bharatavenba of Perumdevanar give a clear account of the political activities of Nandivarman III. The early pandya period Limited Tamil sources are available for the study of the early Pandyas. The Pandikkovai, the Periyapuranam, the Divya Suri Carita and the Guruparamparai throw light on the study of the Pandyas.
