Ceased publication? 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. Since all this work of scanning and reflowing and proofreading has been accomplished by a team of volunteers, it is always possible that errors have crept into these online editions. If you find any of these, please let us know, by emailing us at [email protected]. The aim of the Trust's online library is to reproduce the original texts faithfully. In certain cases, however-and this applies especially to some of the older books that were never republished in updated versions-we have corrected certain small errors of a typographic order. When this has been done, all of these corrections are listed in the "Register of Editorial Alterations" that appears at the end of the digital book. If you want the original text in its exact original form, warts and all, you can reconstruct this with the aid of the "register." The Trust's Online Library remains very much a work in progress. With your help and input, it will increase in scope and improve in elegance and accuracy as the years go by. In the meantime, we hope it will serve the needs of those seeking to deepen and broaden their own familiarity with Avatar Meher Baba's life and message and to disseminate this good news throughout the world.

Special Notification and an Appeal We made a notification and expressed our regret in the previous issue of 'Divva Vani' (a combined issue of December 1972 and January issue of 1973) for the delay caused due to political agitation in our Andhra Area. We expected that normalcy would be reached soon and that we would be able to regularly issue ''Divya Vani" every month. But unfortunately, it happened that though political agitation has subsided and normalcy appeared to have been restored, the troublesome circumstances continued and shortage of electric supply and other inconveniences caused dislocation of Press-work. We regret to inform that we have had again to issue a combined issue for the months of February, March and April '73 because of the unavoidable troubles prevailing, which have caused dislocation of normal work in the Press. We hope that we will be able to keep up regularity from next issue or at least from the month of June '73. We request and appeal to our readers and subscribers to bear the inconvenience caused for this short period. To avoid future delay and inconvenience all steps are being taken and if found necessary, location of the printing press and issue office will also be shifted to a suitable place and a press on our own will be reinstalled. By Beloved Baba's Grace, we hope to be in a position to assure our readers and subscribers regular issue of 'Divya Vani' within another couple of months. We are trying our best to do the needful in the matter as early as possible. Camp: VIJAYAWADA, SWAMI SATYA PRAKASH UDASEEN, D/ 18-4-'73. Editor: DIVYA VANI.

Every one has a name, a church, a symbol and a creed. Every one professes a faith in God, the giver of everlasting life and everlasting happiness. In the world around us, everything is transient—everything is fleeting. There is no fixedness anywhere and about anything. We are born, we live and grow and we die. That is the theme of all life. If that were the sole reality of life, it becomes meaningless. But religions postulate an existence which is the immutable basis of life and which is everlasting and infinite in scope and manifestation. That something which is indescribable in earthly terms, and which is beyond the experiences of commonsense every day life is called God by commonest usage, and religions embody practices, customs, legends and ceremonials for invocation of God for help for sustaining one's life against the uncertainties and sufferings which can and do beset it. God is one according to all religions and Godly life or life lived in constant remembrance of God in thoughts, words and deeds is accepted by all religions as life supremely and nobly lived. Such life embodies all that one can have of truth, beauty and love. But common humanity craves for a sense of belonging and religion is no exception; emphasis is given to differences in practice rather than to unities of belief and faith at the core. And Baba laying hold on these unities at the core has proclaimed that He came not to establish any new religion but to revitalize the existing ones by bringing them together as beads on a common string by laying emphasis on their core content namely Love of God. The awakening which he gave to Our Souls is to untie the knot which kept the Love of Our hearts captive to the narrow being of Our body and mind and release it to engulf us all in the Oneness of existence. Sectarianism of every kind is bred and brought up in the fractioned Outlook of Our illusorily fractioned being. The biggest difficulty we have to contend 4 DIVYA VANI with in Our search for the real source of Our being is the illusion or Maya which makes Our seeming separateness real to Our eyes. The founding fathers of these various religions voiced the cry of the eternal Oneness of the being in all, although adapting it to the condemnation of the evils of selfishness and separateness which clogged and preyed upon human nature in the human societies of their time.

  • Boycotts and Sanctions Against South Africa: an International History, 1946-1970
    Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Simon Stevens All rights reserved ABSTRACT Boycotts and Sanctions against South Africa: An International History, 1946-1970 Simon Stevens This dissertation analyzes the role of various kinds of boycotts and sanctions in the strategies and tactics of those active in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa. What was unprecedented about the efforts of members of the global anti-apartheid movement was that they experimented with so many ways of severing so many forms of interaction with South Africa, and that boycotts ultimately came to be seen as such a central element of their struggle. But it was not inevitable that international boycotts would become indelibly associated with the struggle against apartheid. Calling for boycotts and sanctions was a political choice. In the years before 1959, most leading opponents of apartheid both inside and outside South Africa showed little interest in the idea of international boycotts of South Africa. This dissertation identifies the conjuncture of circumstances that caused this to change, and explains the subsequent shifts in the kinds of boycotts that opponents of apartheid prioritized. It shows that the various advocates of boycotts and sanctions expected them to contribute to ending apartheid by a range of different mechanisms, from bringing about an evolutionary change in white attitudes through promoting the desegregation of sport, to weakening the state’s ability to resist the efforts of the liberation movements to seize power through guerrilla warfare.

Full terms of use are available: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/red/research-policy/pure/user-guides/ebr-terms/ Indian Messiah: The attraction of Meher Baba to British audiences in the 1930s* Abstract This article considers the British reception to Meher Baba, an Indian religious figure, who first travelled to Britain in 1931. Following a tradition of Indian religious figures who toured Britain and America in the nineteenth and twentieth century, Baba was removed from organised religion and placed emphasis on self-realisation, and attracted large British followings notably dominated by women. This article argues that the 1930s witnessed a continuing interest in Indian religious figures and adherence to Orientalist stereotypes about Indian religiosity despite changing political dynamics. Exploring a range of public and private responses to Baba, following comparison with his contemporary Jiddu Krishnamurti, and discussing the role of British mediators Paul Brunton and Francis Younghusband, this article explores British impressions of Indian religious figures in the 1930s and how they were informed by notions of race, religiosity and gender.

  • Picture Post and the Photographic Essay: Émigré
    PICTURE POST AND THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY: ÉMIGRÉ PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VISUAL NARRATIVES, 1938-1945 by Amy Alice Shulman A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Art History, Curating and Visual Studies School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music The University of Birmingham January 2017 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis examines the pioneering British weekly magazine Picture Post (1938-1957) which introduced a mass audience to the innovative style of European photojournalism characterised by the format of the photographic essay. Founded by the Hungarian émigré, Stefan Lorant (1901-1997) and led by Sir Tom Hopkinson (1905-1990) from 1940 until 1950, Picture Post has not yet been the focus of a single academic publication. This thesis explores the concept of visual narration through a selection of photographic essays published in the magazine between 1938 and 1945, and utilises the unpublished corresponding contact sheets to expose the manipulation of photographs. The present work has utilised archival material of the Picture Post archive, which forms part of the Hulton Archive at Getty Images, London, to inform a discussion surrounding the topics of manipulation, migration and memory in relation to photography, in order to identify the specific approach of Picture Post to photographic narration.
