Moreover, if you are bidding on more than one lots than it becomes very difficult to bid on those lots in last few Postal Bids to the Regd. Office minutes. (must be received on or before 6 August 2014 by 6:00 pm) To overcome these problems, the Rajgor’s have introduced a new system of Internet Bidding called Real-Time SMS Bids on +91 90040 82585 Bidding. (must be received on or before 7 August 2014 by 2:00 pm) Email Bids to [email protected] Real-Time Bidding (must be received on or before 7 August 2014 by 2:00 pm) The Real-Time Bidding is quite like a Physical or Floor Auction Bidding. Lots in the above given categories will close according to the Bid-Closing Schedule as given above. However, if there is Bid recorded within a span of 2 Minutes prior to the lot’s scheduled closing time (say 3:00 pm), the Count-down Clock for that lot will be reset to 2 Minutes more and the closing time of that particular lot will be extended accordingly (3:02 pm). Moreover, the said lot will be further extended for another 2 minutes if there is a Bid recorded within a span of 2 Minutes prior to the lot’s new extended closing time (3:02 pm), making the extended time on that lot till 3:04 and not 3:02 pm. As a consequence, the bidding on that lot will be like the Real-Time Bidding as seen during the physical auction. Finally, Bidding on any lot will only end if there is no bid recorded for a span of 2 minutes. This is how you can bid and win lots of your choice even if you are Out Bid at the last few seconds by a Proxy Bid or Secrete Bid of some other Bidder. This new system of Internet Bidding gives you a chance of not losing your lots just by a few hundred rupees and become a proud owner of your items. So Happy Bidding and enjoy your collection. 3 Oleographs of Raja Ravi Varma 6 Shri Dutt (Guru Duttatreya) Ravi Varma Colour oleograph, 27½ x 20½ in.

    Shiva's Waterfront Temples

    Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Subhashini Kaligotla All rights reserved ABSTRACT Shiva’s Waterfront Temples: Reimagining the Sacred Architecture of India’s Deccan Region Subhashini Kaligotla This dissertation examines Deccan India’s earliest surviving stone constructions, which were founded during the 6th through the 8th centuries and are known for their unparalleled formal eclecticism. Whereas past scholarship explains their heterogeneous formal character as an organic outcome of the Deccan’s “borderland” location between north India and south India, my study challenges the very conceptualization of the Deccan temple within a binary taxonomy that recognizes only northern and southern temple types. Rejecting the passivity implied by the borderland metaphor, I emphasize the role of human agents—particularly architects and makers—in establishing a dialectic between the north Indian and the south Indian architectural systems in the Deccan’s built worlds and built spaces. Secondly, by adopting the Deccan temple cluster as an analytical category in its own right, the present work contributes to the still developing field of landscape studies of the premodern Deccan. I read traditional art-historical evidence—the built environment, sculpture, and stone and copperplate inscriptions—alongside discursive treatments of landscape cultures and phenomenological and experiential perspectives. As a result, I am able to present hitherto unexamined aspects of the cluster’s spatial arrangement: the interrelationships between structures and the ways those relationships influence ritual and processional movements, as well as the symbolic, locative, and organizing role played by water bodies.

    Journal of Indian and Buddhist Studies, Vol. 49, No. 2

    ( 4) Journalof Indian and Buddhist Studies , Vol. 49, No. 2, March2001 King Prthu and His Genealogy Miwako KATO The story of king Prthu is often told to explain the origin of kingship . The following is the outline of the legend. Once there was a king named Vena, who was so impious that the sages slew him. Since he had no son, the sages churned the left hand of the wicked king . Then from the left hand came out a short and black barbarian Nisada. They then churned his right hand and great Prthu was born. Brahma consecrated him as the first king (adiraja), and in the midst of the ritual, two bards, Suta and Magadha were born to praise him. As a result of Vena's evil rule, people had been emaciated for want of food. In order to restore prosperity to them, taking up his bow and arrow, Prthu pursued the Earth who had assumed the form of a cow. Then the Earth begged for mercy and she entreated him to provide her with a calf so that she could give milk out of affection. After adopting Svayambhuva Manu as the calf, Prthu milked plants and vegetables from the Earth-cow on its own surface . Almost all of these elements occur in every version of the Prthu myth . Regarding his ancestor the texts differ from each other. That is, the texts of this story can be classified into three groups according to genealogical accounts of king Prthu. Some of the Puranns (P) such as the Harivamsa (H), Brahma-P.

    Dhruva the Ancient Indian Pole Star: Fixity, Rotation and Movement

    Indian Journal of History of Science, 46.1 (2011) 23-39 DHRUVA THE ANCIENT INDIAN POLE STAR: FIXITY, ROTATION AND MOVEMENT R N IYENGAR* (Received 1 February 2010; revised 24 January 2011) Ancient historical layers of Hindu astronomy are explored in this paper with the help of the Purân.as and the Vedic texts. It is found that Dhruva as described in the Brahmân.d.a and the Vis.n.u purân.a was a star located at the tail of a celestial animal figure known as the Úiúumâra or the Dolphin. This constellation, which can be easily recognized as the modern Draco, is described vividly and accurately in the ancient texts. The body parts of the animal figure are made of fourteen stars, the last four of which including Dhruva on the tail are said to never set. The Taittirîya Âran.yaka text of the Kr.s.n.a-yajurveda school which is more ancient than the above Purân.as describes this constellation by the same name and lists fourteen stars the last among them being named Abhaya, equated with Dhruva, at the tail end of the figure. The accented Vedic text Ekâgni-kân.d.a of the same school recommends observation of Dhruva the fixed Pole Star during marriages. The above Vedic texts are more ancient than the Gr.hya-sûtra literature which was the basis for indologists to deny the existence of a fixed North Star during the Vedic period. However the various Purân.ic and Vedic textual evidence studied here for the first time, leads to the conclusion that in India for the Yajurvedic people Thuban (α-Draconis) was Dhruva the Pole Star c 2800 BC.

    Once Upon a Time There Lived a King Called Uttanapada. He Had Two Wives, Suniti and Suruchi, and Two Sons, Dhruva and Uttama Respectively by Them

    DHRUV Once upon a time there lived a king called Uttanapada. He had two wives, Suniti and Suruchi, and two sons, Dhruva and Uttama respectively by them. Suruchi was, however the king’s favourite wife. One day the five-year old Dhruva noticed the king fondling Uttama, holding him on his lap. Being a mere child, he too wanted to be caressed by his father. So he ran towards the king. The kind did not however respond with his love for fear of Suruchi. Suruchi held Dhruva back and said in an angry voice, “Dhruva! You do not deserve to sit on the king’s lap. Even though you too are his son, you are not born of me. Being a mere boy, you are not aware that you were born of the womb of another woman. If you aspire to sit on the king’s lap you have got to worship the Lord and by His Grace, be born of my womb.” Hearing these cruel words, Dhruva ran back to his mother crying aloud, as he found his father sitting unmoved by all that he had heard and seen. Seeing her son weeping disconsolately, the gentle Suniti took him lovingly on her lap. As she had already got the news of the events of the day and of the words which Suruchi uttered, she consoled Dhruva thus: “My son, Bear no ill- will towards others. Whoever causes distress to others, reaps the fruit of it afterwards in the shape of suffering. So do not grieve, my beloved son. Suruchi has spoken rightly when she asked you to worship the Lord.
  • Dhruva Maharaj's Meeting with Nanda and Sunanda

    Dhruva Maharaj's Meeting with Nanda and Sunanda

    Dhruva Maharaj’s meeting with Nanda and Sunanda Srimad Bhagavatam verse 4.12.22, (Class at Mayapur) Maharaj recites the verse: Tam Krishna-padabhinivishta chetasam Baddhanjalim prashraya namra kandharam Sunanda-nadau upasrutya sasmitam Pratyuchatuh pushkaranabha sammatau Translation: Dhruva Maharaj was always absorbed in thinking of the lotus feet of Lord Krishna. His heart was full with Krishna. When the two confidential servants of the Supreme Lord, who were named Nanda and Sunanda, approached him, smiling happily, Dhruva stood with folded hands, bowing humbly. They then addressed him as follows: Purport: Maharaj reads the purport by Srila Prabhupada: “In this verse, the wordpushkaranabha-sammatau is significant. Krishna, or Lord Vishnu, is known for His lotus eyes, lotus navel, lotus feet and lotus palms. Here, He is called pushkara-nabha, which means “the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who has a lotus navel,” andsammatau means “two confidential or very obedient servants.” The materialistic way of life differs from the spiritual way of life in that one is disobedience and the other is obedience to the will of the Supreme Lord. All living entities are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord, and they are supposed to be always agreeable to the order of the Supreme person; that is perfect oneness. In Vaikuntha world, all the living entities are in oneness with the Supreme Godhead because they never defy His orders. Here in the material world, however, they are not sammata, agreeable, but always asammata, disagreeable. This human form of life is a chance to be trained to be agreeable to the orders of the Supreme Lord.

    Devakinandan Pr Seminars

    The Supreme Lord explains 3 kinds of determination in the Bhagavad Gita 18.33,34 and 35: That determination that cannot go beyond dreaming, fearlessness, moroseness and illusion – such unintelligent determination, on son of Prtha, is in the mode of darkness. But that determination by which one holds fast to fruitive results in religion, economic development and sense gratification is of the nature of passion, O Arjuna. That determination which is unbreakable, which is sustained with steadfastness by yoga practice, and which thus controls the activities of the mind, life and senses is determination in the mode of goodness. *3Types of Determination Bhagavad-Gita 7.28 yesham tv anta-gatam papam jananam punya-karmanam te dvandva-moha-nirmukta bhajante mam dridha-vratah Persons who have acted piously in previous lives and in this life and whose sinful actions are completely eradicated are freed from the dualities of delusion, and they engage themselves in My service with determination. *The Highest Form of Determination *Determination: The ability to persevere to achieve the supreme objective, while transcending many difficulties, challenges and obstacles along the way. *How did little Dhruva become such an emblem of determination? *Bhagavatam’s Definition of Determination *King Uttaanapaada - Powerful king who had two wives - Suniti and Suruci *Suruci was the favoured wife and so was her son, little prince Uttama *Suniti was least favoured and so was her son, little prince Dhruva *One day, the King places Uttama on his lap and is patting him
