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. -

Significant Persons/Founders
Significant Persons/ Founders Historical Figures Aksapada Gautama (600 BCE): Aksapada Gautama is believed to be, at the very least, the principal author of Nyaya Sutras, the foundational text of the Nyaya school of Hindu philosophy. Nyaya comprises both philosophical and religious practices. Its ultimate concern is to bring an end to human suffering, which results from ignorance of reality. Liberation is brought about through right knowledge. Nyaya is thus concerned with the means of right knowledge and right action. The date when the text was composed as well as the biography of its author are uncertain. Estimates vary significantly ranging from between 6th-century BCE to 2nd-century BCE. As well, it is believed that the Nyaya Sutras may have been written by more than one author, and perhaps over a long period of time. A sutra is a Sanskrit word that means “string, thread,” and is a condensed manual of knowledge of a specific field or school of thought. Each sutra is written in the form of a short rule, like a theorem summarized into few words or syllables, around which the teachings of any field of knowledge can be woven. The Nyaya Sutras text consists of five books of two chapters each, with a cumulative total of 528 sutras about rules of reason, logic, knowledge, and metaphysics. Kanada (6th Century BCE to 2nd Century BCE): Kanada (also known as Kashyapa, Uluka, Kananda, and Kanabhuk) founded the Vaisheshika school of Hindu philosophy. The Vaisheshika system holds that the smallest, indivisible, indestructible part of the world is an atom (anu). -

The Poetry of Mirabai
The Poetry of Mirabai Into: Read "Mirabai" "We all want a Mirabai; we all want to thrill like the Dark One. She holds with ash-caked arms her human skull begging bowl. She dances barefoot at twilight with the Sudras playing hand cymbals. Tattered orange saris spinning, braids bouncing. She drinks the venom, plucks the black stone from the basket wails sonorous bhakti songs... She hears a flute note on the river leading into Banares." As you read the poem, have students sketch what they "see" in the words of the poem. When they do the " Through " they can use this as a starting point for their work. Through : In groups of four have the students read the following account of the life of Mirabai. As the groups read this account have them create "Moment In Time Posters" to share with each other after they have finished. When the students are finished have them display their posters and do a gallery walk through to view each others work. Mirabai's life Early Life: Mira was born in 1498 in the village of Kudki into the house of Rathore. Her family were Vaisnava, worshipers of Vishnyu (Vishnu is an incarnation of Krishna). Mira's people were Rajputs, Hindus, whose culture was a strict feudal patriarchy which stressed honor in both sexes. For men this meant bravery in battle. For women it meant obedience and chastity. All we know of Mira's early life comes from legends. Some of these legends tell how she got a statuette of Krishna, and how she learned of her future devotional relationship to him. -
A Language of Symbols: Rangoli Art of India by Nayana Tadvalkar
A Language of Symbols: Rangoli Art of India Nayana Tadvalkar Abstract Rangavali or Rangoli is an ephemeral floor art practiced in India since ancient times. The sources of the rangoli diagram lie in the protection sought by Homo sapiens in the magical drawings, which were believed to prevent the auras of bad spirits from coming into the house. This tradition continues down the history of man till date. Rangoli, essentially a woman’s art, carries connotations of anonymity, collective wisdom, spontaneity and simplicity. It reflects the larger philosophy of life through patterns of memory and an extensive visual and geometric vocabulary. The art of rangoli is a storehouse of symbols. Beginning with the auspicious dot, the symbols go on expanding to form a line and the basic geometrical shapes like the circle, triangle, square and so on, each having its own significance. The geometrical figures as the point, line, circle, triangle and square, have a symbolic value in representing the basic energies of the universe. The survival of rangoli symbols through space and time and their facility for absorption in new environments can be attributed to their simplicity, flexibility and elemental appeal and most importantly to the beliefs of the people. This paper attempts to trace the meaning of symbols hidden in the rangoli diagrams. Rangoli or Rangavali in Sanskrit - rang (colour) and aavali (row), is an ancient Indian folk art created on the floor. Literally, it means creepers drawn in colours. In India, traditional place to draw rangolis is the threshold of the house, a zone of passage from the known – the house, to the unknown outer world.
