It is an interdisciplinary work to establish relationship between Indian Advait Philosophy and International Relations Theory. When I was writing my doctoral thesis, I was reading some works of Maharishi Ved Vyas and commentaries based on his work in Advait philosophy. Whatever, I read there, I felt it is something that has not been worked on in International Relations and there is a scope to write in interdisciplinary theory in International Relations. Above all, after reading the theories of International Relations I realized that I cannot relate my thoughts and actions with any of the existing perspectives and the extremes observed everywhere around. So it led me to write about this parity vision. I see its relevance in contemporary times as some of the actions and events that occur in the world can be viewed and analyzed with parity vision.

  • Christianities of South Asia

Locklin Office: Odette Hall 130 Phone: 416.926.1300, x3317 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: T 10:10-12 noon and by chance or appointment Email Policy: I will attempt to respond to legitimate email enquiries from students within 3-4 days. If you do not receive a reply within this period, please re-submit your question(s) and/or leave a message by telephone. Where a question cannot be easily or briefly answered by email, I will indicate that the student should see me during my posted office hours. Course Description This seminar explores the claim of diverse Christian traditions in South Asia to be religious traditions of South Asia, with special attention to these traditions’ indigenisation and social interactions with majority Hindu traditions. Our study will begin with an overview of the historical development of Christianity in India from the first century CE to the present. In a second unit, we move to close readings of three major theological articulations for and against an indigenous South Asian Christianity: M.M. Thomas, Ram Swarup and Sathianathan Clarke. Finally, our attention will turn to the concept of “ritual dialogue” in Christian practice and the ethnographic study of Christian communities in India. Most of our attention will be focused on Christian traditions in South India, but students are encouraged to choose topics related to Christianity in other parts of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and/or Bhutan for their research papers.

  • Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya Connected to the Madhva Line?
    Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? – Jagadananda Das – The relationship of the Madhva-sampradaya to the Gaudiya Vaishnavas is one that has been sensitive for more than 200 years. Not only did it rear its head in the time of Baladeva Vidyabhushan, when the legitimacy of the Gaudiyas was challenged in Jaipur, but repeatedly since then. Bhaktivinoda Thakur wrote in his 1892 work Mahaprabhura siksha that those who reject this connection are “the greatest enemies of Sri Krishna Chaitanya’s family of followers.” In subsequent years, nearly every scholar of Bengal Vaishnavism has cast his doubts on this connection including S. K. De, Surendranath Dasgupta, Sundarananda Vidyavinoda, Friedhelm Hardy and others. The degree to which these various authors reject this connection is different. According to Gaudiya tradition, Madhavendra Puri appeared in the 14th century. He was a guru of the Brahma or Madhva-sampradaya, one of the four (Brahma, Sri, Rudra and Sanaka) legitimate Vaishnava lineages of the Kali Yuga. Madhavendra’s disciple Isvara Puri took Sri Krishna Chaitanya as his disciple. The followers of Sri Chaitanya are thus members of the Madhva line. The authoritative sources for this identification with the Madhva lineage are principally four: Kavi Karnapura’s Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (1576), the writings of Gopala Guru Goswami from around the same time, Baladeva’s Prameya-ratnavali from the late 18th century, and anothe late 18th century work, Narahari’s

  • Adyanana Utsavam Concluding with Nammazhwar's Mokshotsava M
    Adyanana Utsavam concluding with Nammazhwar's Mokshotsava m Adyanana Utsavam SRI VENKATESWARA SAHASRA GHATAABHISHEKAM Dec 27th 2019 to Jan 15th 2020 Sponsorship Form Adyayana Utsavam means studying, learning, and remembrance of Vedic Verses. Nalayira Divya Prabandham is the composition of 12 Sri Vaishnava Saints (Azhwars) in praise of Sriman Narayanan. Divya Prabhandham has 4000 divine verses (Pasurams) and is recognized as Dravida Veda. Let's look at the history and how this legacy was propagated. Sri Tirumangai Azhwar's Period Thirumangai Azhwar, the last of twelve Azhwars sang Thiru-Nedun-Thaandakam before Lord Ranganatha. The Lord was pleased by the meanings of the pasurams and granted two boons to Thirumangai Alwar. 1. The Lord with his divine consorts should listen to the divine Pasurams of Thiruvaimozhi composed by Nammazhwar 2. The sacred verses of Azhwars (Divya Prabhandams) should be given the equal status in terms of authority and supremacy to that of Vedas. Lord Ranganatha agreed to the above request. However the tradition of Adyayana utsavam was discontinued over the years. Sri Nathamunigal's Period Sri Nathamunigal of the 7th century, the foremost Acharya resumed the Adyayan utsavam at Srirangam. He extended the practice of recitals to include all 4000 verses and made it a 21- day celebration. In the first ten days, Mudalayeeram (first 1000 verses) and Tirumangai Azhwars' Peria Tirumozhi are recited. In the second ten days, Thiruvaimozhi is recited Visit www.svtemplenc.org 121 Balaji Place Cary, NC 27513 (919)- 468-0040 culminating in Nammazhwar's Mokshotsavam on the 20th day.

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.

This image is very unique. Here, one can see Ramanuja with the gnyAna mudra (the sign of a teacher; see his right/left hands); usually, Swami Ramanuja’s images always present him in the anjali mudra (offering worship, both hands together in obeisance). Our elders say that Swami Ramanuja’s image at Thirumala shows the gnyAna mudra, because it is here that Swami Ramanuja gave his lectures on Vedarta Sangraha, his insightful, profound treatise on the meaning of the Upanishads. It is also said that Swami Ramanuja here is considered an Acharya to Lord Srinivasa Himself, and that is why the hundi is located right in front of swami Ramanuja at the temple (as a mark of respect to an Acharya). In Thirumala, other than Lord Srinivasa, Varaha, Narasimha and A VEDICS JOURNAL Varadaraja, the only other accepted shrine is that of Swami Ramanuja.

  • Śaivism After the Śaiva
    religions Article Saivism´ after the Saiva´ Age: Continuities in the Scriptural Corpus of the Vıram¯ ahe´svaras¯ Elaine M. Fisher Religious Studies, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305, USA; [email protected] Abstract: This article makes the case that V¯ıra´saivismemerged in direct textual continuity with the tantric traditions of the Saiva´ Age. In academic practice up through the present day, the study of Saivism,´ through Sanskrit sources, and bhakti Hinduism, through the vernacular, are gener- ally treated as distinct disciplines and objects of study. As a result, V¯ıra´saivismhas yet to be systematically approached through a philological analysis of its precursors from earlier Saiva´ tra- ditions. With this aim in mind, I begin by documenting for the first time that a thirteenth-century Sanskrit work of what I have called the V¯ıramahe´svaratextual¯ corpus, the Somanathabh¯ a¯s.ya or V¯ıramahe´svar¯ ac¯ aras¯ aroddh¯ arabh¯ a¯s.ya, was most likely authored by Palkurik¯ e˘ Somanatha,¯ best known for his vernacular Telugu V¯ıra´saivaliterature. Second, I outline the indebtedness of the early Sanskrit and Telugu V¯ıramahe´svaracorpus¯ to a popular work of early lay Saivism,´ the Sivadharma´s´ astra¯ , with particular attention to the concepts of the jangama˙ and the is..talinga˙ . That the V¯ıramahe´svaras¯ ´ borrowed many of their formative concepts and practices directly from the Sivadharma´sastra¯ and other works of the Saiva´ Age, I argue, belies the common assumption that V¯ıra´saivismoriginated as Citation: Fisher, Elaine M.. 2021. a social and religious revolution.
