It is a milestone in several respects. First of all, the Journal has come to be known at the all-India level and more so in South India. This is testified by the number of papers received from different regions with Andhra Pradesh topping. Contributions from Western India being notable this time. The quality of most of the papers are good. Few scholars have to realise that writing for a Journal is a lot more serious business than presenting a paper in an annual conference. We would like to thank Prof. V. Balambal, Prof. A. Chandrasekaran, Dr. S. Vasanthi and Dr. Chitra Madhavan for sparing their valuable time for refreeing the papers for the Journal. While inviting high quality papers for the 19th issue, we would like to inform that certain papers could not be accommodated in this issue as the response has been overwhelming. They shall be seriously considered for the next issue. We are grateful to Dr. Vikas Kumar Verma of the Delhi University for sending an excellent book review. In this context, we request our readers to send more book reviews. I would like to thank Dr. Nanditha Krishna, Mrs. Malathy Narasimhan and Mr. Narayan Onkar and other staff members of the foundation for their support. Dr. G. J. Sudhakar September 2012, Eighteenth Issue 5 Journal of Indian History and Culture 6 September 2012, Eighteenth Issue Journal of Indian History and Culture BALA NARASIMHA – TWO UNIQUE SCULPTURES G. BALAJI Research Officer C.P.R. Institute of Indological Research C.P. Ramaswami Aiyar Foundation, Chennai There are different sculptural representations of Sthuna Narasimha, Girija Narasimha (Yoga Narasimha), Kevela Narasimha, and Lakshmi Narasimha.1 There was one lesser known Narasimha image found at a few places, that is Bala Narasimha. The Bala Narasimha representation of Vishnu is found at Deogarh (Uttar Pradesh) and Namakkal (Tamilnadu). Both these places are far away from each other but the sculptures are iconographically important to study. The Gupta period representation of Narasimha found at the Dasavatara temple, Deogarh (5th c. CE) is important to note for its iconographic development. The image on a panel projecting in the centre of the doorway is of Vishnu shown seated on a coiled serpent. To his right stands a small human figure with a lion’s head, evidently Narasimha. (Fig.1) In this image Vishnu is shown as Vaikuntha Narayana, seated in sukhasana on the coil of the seven headed Adisesha or Ananta (snake). He has four arms the upper right and left carry the chakra and sankha respectively. His lower right hand is in abhaya and the lower left is kept on the left knee. He is adorned with kirita makuta, kundalas, neckles, armlets, bracelets, and with all other attributes of Vishnu. September 2012, Eighteenth Issue 7 Journal of Indian History and Culture The Bala Narasimha standing on the right side of the Vaikuntha Narayana is a small figure. He has four arms, of which three are visible. The right upper hand is visible without any weapon. The bare hands of Bala Narasimha indicate that he is going to kill the demon without any weapon but with his claws. His lower hands are in anjali hastha (in salutation). He has been shown getting the blessings of the Vishnu before exerting himself. In the other words, Vishnu shows his Narasimha incarnation to the world and tells them how he going to destroy the demon Hiranyakasipu. A small gana is shown standing left of Vishnu and witnessing this event. He holds a sword in his left hand and his right hand is in vismaya (astonishment). The second sculpture is from the Narasimha cave temple at Namakkal (8th c. CE), a historically important city of Tamilnadu. There was one more cave temple for Anantasayana Vishnu. Both these caves were excavated by the Adiyaman rulers of the Kongu dynasty, among the ancient ruling families of south India. Together with the Cheras, Pandyas and Cholas, they are known to us from Tamil Sangam literature dating from the early centuries of this era. Among the most prominent rulers of that early time was Adiyaman Neduman Anji, patron of the renowned poetess, Auvaiyar. The Adiyamans ruled from Tagadur, modern Dharmapuri, and their domain was northern Kongu which included the Salem district. The Adiyamans appear to have been involved in frequent wars with the neighboring kings, and in the days of Neduman Anji were forced to accept Chera suzerainty. We know very little of the fortunes of the Atiya rulers in the succeeding centuries and hear of them again only in the eighth century CE from inscriptions of the Pandya kings and from their own undated records at Namakkal. We may regard it as quite certain that the 8 September 2012, Eighteenth Issue Journal of Indian History and Culture Atiya inscriptions at Namakkal were engraved in the days of independent Atiya rule prior to A.D. 784, since these records refer proudly to the Atiya kula and proclaim the greatness of the ruler Gunasila who was responsible for the cutting of the caves. 2 In the Narasimha cave, we come across three different depictions of the Narasimha avatara of Vishnu. The first one is a narrative relief on the left wall of the ardhamandapa depicting the Bala Narasimha form of Vishnu. The second is the Ugra Narasimha who tears open the chest of the demon Hiranyakasipu with his claws. And the third and main deity (moolavar) of the cave is the seated Narasimha. In these three panels both the seated kevela Narasimha and ugra Narasimha sculptures are commonly noticed. But the Bala Narasimha image within the Vaikuntha Narayana panel was a rare one. In this panel Vishnu himself reveals to the gods the form he will take to destroy the demon Hiranyakasipu. The Vaikuntha Narayana relief panel is beautifully carved with all the iconographic details. It depicts Vishnu as Vaikuntha sitting on the coil of the five headed Ananta or Adhisesha in ease. He is accompanied on either side by Brahma and Shiva. Vishnu is shown seated in maharajalilasana, one leg folded and hanging in ease and the other raised with heel on the seat. He is adorned with krita makuta on the head, makara kundalas on the ears and kankanas on the hands. He has four hands; the upper two hands hold the chakra and sankha. They are shown a little above his fingers standing in the air and the fire tong on the top of each weapon is unique. This feature is to be seen in all the Namakkal reliefs and seems, to some extent, to set it apart from Pallava and Pandya representations. Vishnu’s lower left hand rests on his knee, and the lower right hand is in kataka mudra.

    CHAPTER ONE AN INTRODUCTION TO JAINISM AND THERAVADA BUDDfflSM CHAPTER-I An Introduction to Jainism and Theravada Buddhism 1. 0. History of Jainism "Jainism is a system of faith and worship. It is preached by the Jinas. Jina means a victorious person".' Niganthavada which is mentioned in Buddhist literature is believed to be "Jainism". In those days jinas perhaps claimed themselves that they were niganthas. Therefore Buddhist literature probably uses the term 'nigantha' for Jinas. According to the definition of "Kilesarahita mayanti evamvaditaya laddhanamavasena nigantho" here nigantha (S. nkgrantha) means those who claimed that they are free from all bonds.^ Jainism is one of the oldest religions of the world. It is an independent and most ancient religion of India. It is not correct to say that Jainism was founded by Lord Mahavlra. Even Lord Parsva cannot be regarded as the founder of this great religion. It is equally incorrect to maintain that Jainism is nothing more than a revolt against the Vedic religion. The truth is that Jainism is quite an independent religion. It has its own peculiarities. It is flourishing on this land from times immemorial. Among Brahmanic and i^ramanic trends, Jainism, like Buddhism, represents ^ramanic culture. In Buddhist literatures, we can find so many 'GJ, 1 ^ DNA-l, P. 104 informations about Jainism. The Nigantha Nataputta is none else but Lord Mahavlra.^ 1.1. Rsabhadeva According to tradition, Jainism owes its origin to Rsabha, the first among the twenty-four Tirthankaras. The rest of the Trrthahkaras are said to have revived and revealed this ancient faith from time to time.

In the process, they constrcuted the female self as the embodied, non-modern ‘other’ that belongs to the affective domain of the private or domestic, especially in the context of modernity. Women’s autobiographies, on the other hand, offered a counter- public discourse by imagining an alternate modern selfhood that challenged the elision of masculinity and modernity by reconstituting women’s subjectivity as political subjects in the modern public sphere. In narrating the gendered experiences of modernity women’s autobiographies have adopted a form known as ‘Autobiographical Manifesto’. The manifesto form enabled women to narrate their experiences of oppressions and exclusions from the public sphere and gave a call for new political collectivity and imagined future possibilities for modern selfhood.

These Sivalingas are formed out of one single Sivalinga. As per the legend, this five Sivalingas were one which was owned by the Rakshasa King Tarakasura. None could win over him due to the power of this Sivalinga. In a war between deities and Tarakasura, Kumara Swamy and Tarakasura were face to face. Kumara Swamy used his Sakthi aayudha to kíll Taraka. By the power of Sakti aayudha the body of Taraka was torn into pieces. But to the astonishment of Lord Kumara Swamy all the pieces reunited to give rise to Taraka. Kumara Swamy repeatedly broke the body into pieces and it was re-unified again and again. This confused Lord Kumara Swamy and was in an embarrassed state then Lord Sriman-Narayana appeared before him and said “Kumara! Don’t get depressed, without breaking the Shiva lingham worn by the asura you can’t kíll him” you should first break the Shiva lingam into pieces, then only you can kíll Taraka Lord Vishnu also said that after breaking, the shiva lingha it will try to unite. To prevent the Linga from uniting, all the pieces should be fixed in the place where they are fallen by worshiping them and erecting temples on them. By taking the word of Lord Vishnu, Lord Kumara Swamy used his Aagneasthra (weapon of fire) to break the Shiva lingha worn by Taraka, Once the Shiva lingha broke into five pieces and was trying to unite by making Omkara nada (Chanting Om).

Western E ducation and Industrial Revolution brought about a new awakening in the midst of Indian Intellectuals. The enlightened and educated Indians developed the consciousness about the Glory of Indian Culture and realized that the existing social evils such as Purdha System, Untouchability, Ban on Widow Remarriage, Infanticide, and Devadasi System and a host of other evil practices were leading to human degradation. Under such circumstances, various social and religious reformers rose to meet the challenge of the times. Raja Ram Mohan Roy, regarded as the Father of Indian Renaissance, is the forerunner of all reformers in the galaxy of such social reformers and Dr.Muthulakshmi Reddi is considered the first Woman social reformer in South India.

  • The Hindu'saugust 15, 1947 Issue
    COLLECTOR'S EDITION The Hindu’s August 15, 1947 issue From its birth as a weekly in September 1878, The Hindu became a powerful instrument of the Indian national movement that sought to overthrow British rule. It was hence tting that when freedom dawned, The Hindu welcomed it with characteristic aplomb, deep thought, and skillful penmanship. The Hindu's edition on August 15, 1947, along with a 32-page supplement, was a tribute to the freedom struggle, with articles by some of the greatest names of that age including V.K. Krishna Menon, India’s rst woman legislator Muthulakshmi Reddi, and the great educationist K.M. Munshi. It also carried striking images of the arrival of Independence, and riveting news from that tempestuous time. The Hindu's leading article on the historic day was characteristically pithy and powerful. Titled "Red letter day'', it said: "By the grace of Providence India enters the comity of free nations today, an equal among equals. It is an occasion for rejoicing not only for her people but for all who value human freedom as an end in itself. So long as this country with her hoary civilisation and many-sided culture, her wealth of resources and matchless opulence of spirit remained in political bondage, that very fact constituted an implicit denial of those values to which the dominant nations of the West were wont to pay lip service." Now, we are proud to share with our loyal subscribers, those very pages, articles, and images from which our readers got to know about the advent of freedom on August 15, 1947.
