First section deals about role of the bibliometric studies on performing arts development and second one deals about contributions of department of performing arts on its modernisation and development. Thanuskodi, (2010). Bibliometrics is a research method used in library and information science. It is a quantitative study of various aspects of literature on a topic and is used to identify the pattern of publication, authorship, and secondary journal coverage to gain insight into the dynamics of growth of knowledge in the areas under consideration. This can lead to better organization of information resources, which is essential for effective and efficient use. Bibliometrics has attained sophistication and complexity with a national, international, and interdisciplinary character. Huang . (2006), bibliometric data has been used to describe and evaluate countries, universities, research institutes, journals specific research topics and specific disciplines. Koehler. (2000). Bibliometrics is the most useful method for assessing the macro research output. Research sustains innovation and innovation is one of the main driving forces behind economic growth. Therefore the ability to estimate research performance is vital for Government to know the real worth of their research investments. Two different methods of evaluating research output are in practice by counting the number and share of publications and measuring citations of authors and their publications. These methods of measurement are widely implemented internationally also for the recognition of the contribution of authors even for recommendation of Nobel Prizes. Objective of the Study 1. This study attempts to comprehend the range and ratio of citations of the department of performing arts. 2. To what extent department of performing arts are strengthened by its academic literature works? 3.

    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.

Rosenthal: What Makes Religion THE DENISON JOURNAL OF RELIGION What “Makes” a Religion?: Interactions of Orthodoxy and Orthopraxy in Hinduism Eva Rosenthal Abstract This paper explores the complexities of the following question: In being Hindu, in what ways does one “practice” and in what ways does one “believe?” To what extent are ancient texts considered an un-debatable “source” for faith in divine presence? Gaining an understanding of what these texts are and how exactly they relate to both ritual and belief (because, as we will come to find, both ritual and belief are present in every facet of Hindu worship; what we are looking at is their interaction with one another and which seems to be of more importance in each given circumstance) will be instrumental to exploration of the “bigger question.” Those who have grown up within any given religious tradition often grapple with the question of what makes them a “good” Christian, Muslim, Jew, or what- ever their religion might be.

    CHAPTER THREE DHARMA Having discussed the intellectual and textual background to general conceptual area denoted by Zpad and related terms in chapter two, this chapter explores the other half of our key term, dharma, one of the more complicated concepts in the history of Indian ideas. The notion of dharma was deeply implicated in the intellectual struggles of the post-vedic to early classical period in ancient India, a period which sees the composition of the epics, the decline of the rauta sacrifice, the rise of the heterodox religions of Buddhism, Jainism and j- vikism, the beginnings of the various bhakti traditions, and the transi- tion from ‘Brhmaõism’ to something closer to what we understand today as ‘Hinduism’. Perhaps most intriguingly, it also sees the begin- ning and rapid growth of the dharma literature, an enormously sig- nificant event in the history of brhmaõic scholasticism. This chapter investigates the history of the word dharma in order to gauge the meaning and significance of the term through its develop- ment into one of the most important concepts in the brhmaõic and Hindu traditions. This analysis provides, firstly, a context in which to explain Yudhiùñhira’s conflict over dharma, especially as it manifests in the opening chapters of the P. This conflict, which is explored in chapter four, forms the narrative frame of the DhP. Secondly, it pro- vides a context in which to explain two related matters: the signifi- cance of the term dharma in the compound paddharma, and the sig- nificance behind the collecting together of a group of texts under the rubric ‘paddharmaparvan’.

  • A Comparative Study Between Yoga and Indian Buddhism
    《禪與人類文明研究》第三期（2018） International Journal for the Study of Chan Buddhism and Human Civilization Issue 3 (2018), 107–123 A Comparative Study Between Yoga and Indian Buddhism Li Jianxin Abstract There is an intimate relationship between the concepts of samadhi and dhyana in both traditions that demonstrates a parallelism, if not an identity, between the two systems. The foundation for this assertion is a range of common terminology and common descriptions of meditative states seen as the foundation of meditation practice in both traditions. Most notable in this context is the relationship between the samprajnata samadhi states of Classical Yoga and the system of four Buddhist dhyana states (Pali jhana). This is further complicated by the attempt to reconcile this comparison with the development of the Buddhist the arupya-dhyanas, or the series of “formless meditations,” found in Indian Buddhist explications of meditation. This issue becomes even more relevant as we turn toward the conception of nirodha found in both the context of Classical Yoga and in the Buddhist systems, where the relationship between yoga and soteriology becomes an important issue. In particular, we will examine notions of nirodhasamapatti found in Buddhism and the relationship of this state to the identification in Yoga of cittavrttinirodha with kaivalya. Keywords: Yoga, Indian Buddhism, samadhi, dhyanas Li Jianxin is Professor of Institute of World Religions of Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. 108 Li Jianxin I. Introduction This paper centers on the comparative research between the Patanjali’s Classical Yoga and the early Buddhism. More specifically, the focus of this study is on the structural comparison between Samadhis in the Classical Yoga and Dhyanas in the early Buddhism.
