  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada To summarise the conclusions of Bhagavad-gītā, it may be said that: 1) God is one and everything is in him and he is in everything. 2) To render transcendental service unto God is to serve everything that be, just like to water the root of the tree is to water the different branches and numerous leaves of the tree, or [just like] to supply food to the stomach is to vitalize all the senses and the sense organs of the body. 3) The parts are automatically served when the whole is served, but when [only] the parts are served the whole may not be served. 4) The parts and the whole [are] eternally related, [thus] it is the eternal duty of the parts to render service to the whole. 5) God is sat-cit-ananda-vigraha, the all-attractive cognizant and all-blissful eternal personality. He is a recipient of the services of his parts [the living His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada entities]. He can reveal himself by his own potency, without any help of the external potency called māyā, 7) Sri Krishna is the Personality of Godhead and is in order to be cognizable by the limited potency of the the summum bonum cause of all causes, proved by parts, and as such he is not only the greatest of all but facts and figures in the statements of Bhagavad-gītā, he is also the smallest of all.

The Harivamsa Purana, which was composed at about that time, related in thirty-one chapters (chaps. 47-78) the childhood of Krsna that he had spent among the cowherds.1 The tales had never been told in Hindu literature before. As new as the narratives themselves was their implicit theology. The old adoration of Krsna as moral preceptor went into a long quiescence.

  • Yakshas, Yakshis and Other Demi-Goddesses of Mathura
    THE Y AKSHAS, NAGAS AND OTHER REGIONAL CULTS OF MATI-IURA The architectural remains from Mathura discussed, are a good indicator of the scale of organisation and popularity of the multiple religious cults that existed in the region, but there were possibly many other local sects and practices that flourished around the region that did not have any monumental architecture associated with them. The cult of the numerous Yakshas and the local village gods and goddesses are some of them, and yet their popularity in the region rivalled the major sects like Buddhism and lainism at Mathura. This chapter discusses these popular cults of the region and their representation in the sculptural imagery at Mathura. The repertoire of Naga and Yaksha imagery at Mathura is extremely diverse, and they occur both as independent cults in their own right, displaying certain iconographic conventions as is discerned from the sculptural evidencc, or as part of the larger Buddhist and laina pantheons, in which they are accorded a variety of roles and are depicted variously. An interesting fact to note is that these regional cults are dispersed quite evenly in the region, and run parallel to most of the Buddhist and laina sculptures. The beginnings of these cults can be traced back to the 2nd century B.C., as exemplified by the colossal Parkham Yaksha, or perhaps even earlier if one takes into account the various terracotta figurines that occur as early as 400 H.C. They not only coexist and flourish in Mathura, along with the many other religious sects, but also perhaps outlive the latter, continuing to be an inevitable part of the local beliefs and practices of the region in the present times.

  • Krishna and the Kaliya Serpent
    Gopal’s Fun School (GFS) Kanhaiya Nitai 011 Krishna and the Kaliya Serpent One day, during the summer season, the boys and cows became very thirsty and began to drink the water of the Yamuna. The river, however, had been made poisonous by the venom of the great serpent known as Kaliya. Because the water was so poisonous, the boys and cows suddenly fell down on the ground, apparently dead. Then Krishna, simply cast His merciful glance over them, and all the boys and cows regained consciousness and began to look at one another with great astonishment. They could understand that by drinking the water of the Yamuna they had died and that the merciful glance of Krishna had restored their lives Within the river Yamuna there was a great lake, and in that lake the black serpent Kaliya used to live. Because of his poison, the whole area was so contaminated that it emanated a poisonous vapor twenty-four hours a day. If a bird happened to even pass over the spot, it would immediately die and fall down into the water. Lord Krishna saw the effect of the great serpent’s poison: the whole river that ran before Vrindavan was now deadly. Krishna immediately climbed up into a big Kadamba tree on the bank of the Yamuna. After climbing to the top of the tree, He tightened His belt cloth and, slapping His arms just like a wrestler, jumped into the midst of the poisonous lake. When Krishna was swimming about just like a great strong elephant, He made a tumultuous sound, which the great black serpent Kaliya could hear.

PEEFACE TT is with grateful acknowledgment that I dedicate this volume to my friend and colleague. Professor C. C. Uhlenbeck, Ph.D., who, as my guru at the University of Amsterdam, was the first to introduce me to a knowledge of the mysterious Naga world as revealed in the archaic prose of the Paushyaparvan. In the summer of the year 1901 a visit to the Kulu valley brought me face to face with people who still pay reverence to those very serpent-demons known from early Indian literature. In the course of my subsequent wanderings through the Western Himalayas, which in their remote valleys have preserved so many ancient beliefs and customs, I had ample opportunity for collecting information regarding the worship of the Nagas, as it survives up to the present day. Other nations have known or still practise this form of animal worship. But it would be difficult to quote another instance in which it takes such a prominent place in literature folk-lore, and art, as it does in India.

  • ANKIYA NAAT of Assam
    ANKIYA NAAT of Assam The Ankiya Naat (traditional Assamese one-act plays) are the true index of Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev’s creative genius. These plays, composed on the combined formats of Assamese puppet dances of pre-modern era, Ozha-Pali, and also other Indian theatrical institutions as well as techniques and practices followed in the Sanskrit plays, have been termed the Ankiya Naat produced and presented by the Mahapurush in Assam. Although the plays composed by Mahapurush Sankardeva and Madhavdeva had received popular acceptance, the term Ankiya Naat was not found during Sankardeva’s life time. This nomenclature gained currency in subsequent time only. Twelve such plays, scripted by Sankardeva and Madhavdeva between them are found on record. According to some Carit Puthis (biographies) Sankardeva started as a play-wright by planning and presenting the ‘Chihna-Yatra’ and proceeded to compose a few more subsequently. The ‘Chihna-Yatra’ has no written script, the written scripts of his other plays either. The six plays composed by him are- ‘Patni-Prasad’, ‘Keli-Gopal’, ‘Rukmini- Haran’, ‘Parijat Haran’and the ‘Ram Bijoy’. The palys of Madhavdeva are ‘Chor-Dhara’, ‘Pimpara Guchuwa’, ‘Bhojan Bihar’, ‘Arjun Bhanjan’, Bhumi Letowa’ and the ‘Nrisinha Yatra’. These six palys are also known as ‘Jhumur’. Ankiya Naat are also called as Ankiya Bhaona . There is no significant difference between these two terms. Generally, Naat is referred to the writer document and Bhaona is the performance of the play. Both the words are interchangeable. The Bhaona is often performed in the Namghar in a Sattra or a village. If the given space in a Namghar being inadequate spectators make – shift arrangements (rabhaghar) are often made by extending both sides of the verandah.

  • Yama (Hinduism) - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    ימה ياما یاما Yama (Hinduism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama_(Hinduism) Yama (Hinduism) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Hindu mythology, Yama (Sanskrit: यम ) is the lord of death, first recorded in the Vedas. Yama belongs to an early stratum Yama of Indo-Iranian theology. In Vedic tradition Yama was Death considered to have been the first mortal who died and espied the way to the celestial abodes, thus in virtue of precedence he became the ruler of the departed. In some passages, however, he is already regarded as the god of death. Yama's name can be interpreted to mean "twin", and in some myths he is paired with a twin sister Yam ī. Yama is assisted by Chitragupta who is assigned with the task of keeping complete records of actions of human beings on the earth, and upon their death deciding to have them reincarnated as a superior or inferior organism, depending on their actions on the earth (Karma). Yama is also the lord of justice and is sometimes referred to Devanagari यम as Dharma, in reference to his unswerving dedication to maintaining order and adherence to harmony.
