    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.

  • A Guide to Introducing a Meditative Experience in Congregations a Joint Project of the FJMC and the Cantors Assembly
    A Guide to Introducing a Meditative Experience in Congregations A Joint project of the FJMC and the Cantors Assembly Purpose: This guide has been created to provide congregation decision makers with needed information to institute a Jewish Meditative experience in their synagogue on Shabbat morning in order to provide a Shabbat experience to those who either find the main service not to their liking or are searching for a more spiritual opportunity. The questions and answers that follow were designed to provide basic guidelines how to proceed. The accompanying essays seek to explain the authenticity of Jewish meditation. Introduction One of the greatest challenges synagogue professionals face is how to adapt traditional worship to a population that is becoming increasingly less engaged and more distant. In an attempt to bridge this gap learner’s services, rhythmic or instrumental music has in many cases been integrated into the Friday evening and Shabbat morning services. These efforts to some degree have been and continue to be successful but are dwarfed by the vast number of men and women who seek out spiritual experiences in the meditation and yoga worlds. These people are, by in large not attracted and do not find satisfying the traditional forms of Jewish worship In an attempt to attract this growing population a number of congregations have begun to introduce guided meditations into the traditional services or to offer meditative experiences in a separate venue. Unfortunately the decision makers in the congregation, while well intended, often lack the necessary background to maximize this effort. As a result, it is common in congregations for people to attend a meditative service and immediately following the service’s conclusion, leave.

  • MULTI-FACETED VEDIC HINDUISM Introduction
    MULTI-FACETED VEDIC HINDUISM M.G. Prasad Introduction Life in the universe is a wonderful mystery. Human beings have the privilege of seeking, understanding and experiencing the mystery of life. In a triadic approach based on the Vedas, existence of life can be described as God (Ishwara), Universe (Jagat) and individual (Jeeva). Any individual human being could see the universe as an entity that consists of all beings including other individuals and nature. The GOD as Supreme Being is seen as a free and independent entity responsible for Generation, Operation and Dissolution of everything in the universe and all beings. Thus it can be seen that One God as Bramhan with all attributes is the unitary source of all manifestations. Any human being is eligible to make connection with this One Source from which all knowledge manifest. The multi-faceted knowledge emanating from this One Source is referred as Vedas, which is infinite and eternal. This infinite body of knowledge as Vedas and Vedic literature can be represented as an inverted tree shown in figure 1 and also referred in Bhagavadgita (15-1). Figure 1: Inverted tree This inverted tree representation can be used to describe the multi-faceted Vedic Hinduism (Sanatana dharma). In Vishnusahasranama, we have the verse: Yogo jnanam tathaa sankhyam vidya shilpadi karma cha Vedaa shastraani vijnanam etatt sarvam Janardhanat Which means that yoga, all types of knowledge, art, sculptures, rituals, Vedas, Vedic scriptures and science have emanated from Janardhana denoting One Source. Thus, this multi-faceted nature of Vedic Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma offers the seekers with diverse aptitudes several pathways to approach that One Source of Light and Bliss.
