  • Swami Chinmayananda
    January/February 2015 Vol. 26, No.1 Swami Chinmayananda CHINMAYA MISSION SAN JOSE PUBLICATION MISSION STATEMENT To provide to individuals, from any background, the wisdom of Vedanta and practical means for spiritual growth and happiness, enabling them to become a positive contributor to the society. Chinmaya Lahari While Shiva dances, His matted locks hold the sacred river Ganga, the power and the source of all movement in life, with its waters that purify mankind and the crescent moon delicate as a new-born babe with its promise of life in all its radiance and glory. What is perhaps most significant of all in the image is the combination of this God ascetic, the solitary One, master of meditation, with the frenzied dance - the Yogi and the artist. A dancer becomes the being that he impersonates on the stage. In the dance are aroused the entire energy of body, mind, intellect and soul.. It is a complete surrender to God. While the body moves in a frenzy, like the world with its tumult, Shiva Himself, is undisturbed by the activity, depicting most wonderfully the mortal life and Divine Self.

  • Shiva, the Destroyer and the Restorer
    Shiva, The Destroyer and the Restorer DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH ) 7 SHIV TATTVA In Me the universe had its origin, In Me alone the whole subsists; In Me it is lost-Siva, The Timeless, it is I Myself, Sivoham! Sivoham! Sivoham! Salutations to Lord Shiva, the vanquisher of Cupid, the bestower of eternal bliss and Immortality, the protector of all beings, destroyer of sins, the Lord of the gods, who wears a tiger-skin, the best among objects of worship, through whose matted hair the Ganga flows. Lord Shiva is the pure, changeless, attributeless, all-pervading transcendental consciousness. He is the inactive (Nishkriya) Purusha (Man). Prakriti is dancing on His breast and performing the creative, preservative and destructive processes. When there is neither light nor darkness, neither form nor energy, neither sound nor matter, when there is no manifestation of phenomenal existence, Shiva alone exists in Himself. He is timeless, spaceless, birthless, deathless, decayless. He is beyond the pairs of opposites. He is the Impersonal Absolute Brahman. He is untouched by pleasure and pain, good and evil. He cannot be seen by the eyes but He can be realised within the heart through devotion and meditation. Shiva is also the Supreme personal God when He is identified with His power. He is then omnipotent, omniscient active God. He dances in supreme joy and creates, sustains and destroys with the rhythm of His dancing movements. DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH ) He destroys all bondage, limitation and sorrow of His devotees. He is the giver of Mukti or the final emancipation.

  • 'Pashupata' to 'Shiva'
    World Wide Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Development WWJMRD 2017; 3(11): 233-236 www.wwjmrd.com International Journal ‘Pashupata’ to ‘Shiva’: The Journey of a ‘Nature God’ Peer Reviewed Journal Refereed Journal to a ‘Supreme Vedic Deity’ Indexed Journal UGC Approved Journal Impact Factor MJIF: 4.25 Satendra Kumar Mishra e-ISSN: 2454-6615 Abstract Satendra Kumar Mishra As per the Puranas, the transformation of Pashupata to Vedic Rudra and finally to Shiva was a slow Assistant Professor process of shifting culture closely interacting with each other. On critical analysis it is observed that it Amity School of Languages Amity University, Lucknow happened due to the multiplicity of belief systems attached to Shiva by all the ideologically same but Campus, India different distinct sects who worshipped him. It is to be noted that the different sects took the same Pashupata in remarkably different ways thereby assigning different ideological identities to Pashupata and Rudra, and even then there is only one Shiva. Keywords: Pashupata, Rudra, Vedic, Shiva Introduction Objective In this research, I worked on two basic points First, working on the fact that the term „Pashupata‟ has few common features in all „Shaivite‟ cults but at the same time has few features which are different between them. In the later decades these different features got entangled with each other and all branches of „Pashupata‟ and „Rudra‟ were taken to be same. Second, It is an amalgamation of the different cults of Shiva which needs extensive research to bring forward more knowledge to identify the differences between Rudra, Pashupata and the transformed Shiva.

  • Empire's Garden: Assam and the Making of India
    A book in the series Radical Perspectives a radical history review book series Series editors: Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University Barbara Weinstein, New York University History, as radical historians have long observed, cannot be severed from authorial subjectivity, indeed from politics. Political concerns animate the questions we ask, the subjects on which we write. For over thirty years the Radical History Review has led in nurturing and advancing politically engaged historical research. Radical Perspec- tives seeks to further the journal’s mission: any author wishing to be in the series makes a self-conscious decision to associate her or his work with a radical perspective. To be sure, many of us are currently struggling with the issue of what it means to be a radical historian in the early twenty-first century, and this series is intended to provide some signposts for what we would judge to be radical history. It will o√er innovative ways of telling stories from multiple perspectives; comparative, transnational, and global histories that transcend con- ventional boundaries of region and nation; works that elaborate on the implications of the postcolonial move to ‘‘provincialize Eu- rope’’; studies of the public in and of the past, including those that consider the commodification of the past; histories that explore the intersection of identities such as gender, race, class and sexuality with an eye to their political implications and complications. Above all, this book series seeks to create an important intellectual space and discursive community to explore the very issue of what con- stitutes radical history. Within this context, some of the books pub- lished in the series may privilege alternative and oppositional politi- cal cultures, but all will be concerned with the way power is con- stituted, contested, used, and abused.

  • Rig Veda Samhita
    V.Madhurima Here are a few articles written by me on some aspects of vedism. The six systems of Indian Philosophy Salient features of Vedic Literature Sign Guestbook V.Madhurima I Introduction Man’s glory is not in what he is but in what he makes possible by the study of himself and nature [1]. Philosophy is defined as the study of elements, powers, or causes and laws that explain the facts and existences [2]. Philosophy is subjected to the influence of the race and culture [5] and the practice of religion is nothing but a quest for the facts of inner life [6]. In India philosophy and life are inter- linked and helped to withstand numerous external invasions and internal disturbances [3]. Except for Charvakas who believed that materialistic gains lead to salvation, there was no place for materialistic gains in the Indian thought. Philosophy in India deals with both the cleansing of body and mind a concept well known to Indians. Indeed philosophy in India is Aatma vidya, knowledge of the self and "Aatmaanam Viddhi", know the self, sums up the Indian thought [3]. Although Indian philosophy (Darshana, to see) uses reasoning extensively yet it believes that intuition is the only way by which the ultimate truth can be known because in Indian philosophy truth is not known but realised. Acceptance of Vedas as source of ultimate knowledge, intuition and inference unifies the various philosophical schools of India. Although all schools use words like avidya, maya, purusha and jiva, their interpretation is given differently [6]. Another common feature of the different schools is in their non-acceptance of the Buddhist philosophy.
