  • Appayya Diksita and the Function of Stotras Yigal Bronner University of Chicago
    Singing to God, Educating the People: Appayya Diksita and the Function of Stotras Yigal Bronner University of Chicago appayya 100, appayya 500 The writing on the walls of Kalakanthe¶varar Temple in Adayapalam, a village near Vellore in the northern Tamil country, celebrates Appayya Diksita (1520–1592), the village’s main claim to fame, as a man of outstanding achievements. The inscription begins with a Sanskrit verse, highlighting Appayya’s association with the Vellore-based king Cinnaboma (“whose glory he spread”), his resurrection of ‡rikantha’s commentary on the Brahmasutra (“in order to fortify the ‡iva school”), and his construction of the very temple on which the verse is inscribed. A prose passage in Tamil further elaborates his deeds, mentioning, among other details, two impressive figures. Appayya is said to be the author of no less than one hundred books (çuëu prabandham panniça) and to have taught ‡rikantha’s commentary on the Brahmasutra and his own subcommentary on it, the ‡ivarkamanidipika, to a crowd of five hundred scholars.1 One hundred, a neatly round figure, is a well-known count for Appayya’s many works, and a testimony to his fecundity.2 But the other number of a five-hundred-strong body of students may be related to an equally important yet less appreciated dimension of Appayya’s career: his pedagogical vocation. Indeed, the two dimensions of Appayya’s scholarly life are tightly connected. A closer inspection of his rich written legacy reveals that many of his Earlier versions of this paper were delivered at “Regional Sanskrit Literatures,” a workshop held at the Israeli Academy for the Sciences and the Humanities, Jerusalem, July 2005; the annual meeting of the American Oriental Society, Seattle, March 2006; and as part of the lecture series on “Intellectual History of Religion” at Harvard Uni- versity, May 2006.

  • Short Studies in Indian History the VIJAYANAGAR EMPIRE
    1 Short Studies In Indian History The VIJAYANAGAR EMPIRE by Dewan Bahadur C. S. Srinivasachari, M.A. THE NATIONAL INFORMATION & PUBLICATION Ltd. BOMBAY 2 This was first Prlnted and Published in 1950by Kusum Nair for The National Information & Publcations Ltd., 6, Tulloch Road, Apollo Bunder. Bombay 1, at their own Press at the same address. It is being brought back to e-book format in memory of Prof.C.S.Srinivasachari by VenuGopalaswamy Educational Trust ( VGET ) – Hosur , Tamilnadu, India in 2011 The great Vijayanagar empire existed in full vigour for the best part of three centuries from its foundation in 1336 A.D. It was the chief instrument for the preservation of the political independence from Muslim aggression and for the natural and unfettered development of South Indian culture in all its phases. The greatness of the kingdom can easily be gauged from the magnificence and wealth of its capital, the city of Vijayanagar, which is testified to by the travellers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and the ruins of which even now excite our admiration by their grandeur and extensiveness. This empire and its wealth of output remained totally unknown till about half a century ago. Since then the researches of scholars have brought forth a wonderful harvest of history which is attempted to be reflected in a small compass in this booklet. Dewan Bahadur Professor C. S. Srinivasachari, M.A., is the author of another booklet in this series, entitled Social and Religious Movements in the Nineteenth Century. Contents : 1.

  • Sivananda Vijaya—An Inspiring Drama of 3 Acts 10
    OCTOBER 2011 SIVANANDA VIJAYA—AN INSPIRING DRAMA OF 3 ACTS 10 SIVANANDA VIJAYA—AN INSPIRING DRAMA OF 3 ACTS (By Sri Sundar Shyam Mukut, Hindi) [ Trans lated into Eng lish by D. N. Jhingan, M.A., LL.B. ] The purpose of this play is to inspire, instruct and elevate. We have not the least doubt that it contains all the elements to serve this purpose with an appreciable measure of success. Moved deeply by the sin and sufferings in this world, the renowned South India Saivaite Saint Appayya Dikshitar invokes the Lord’s intervention. Lord Siva promises to be born among men and awaken Humanity to the sublime purpose of life and to hasten their spiritual evolution. Eighteen generations later, the birth of Kuppuswami (Sivananda, the hero of the play) marks the advent of the promised Saviour. Urged on by the Consciousness of his destined mission, Dr. Kuppuswami renounces a brilliant secular career and turning monk, works for and brings about a world-wide awakening, inspiration and spiritualisation. In Him, the modern world sees the fulfillment of the promise given by the Lord to Saint Appayya Dikshitar, centuries ago. We have made an earnest attempt in the present volume to provide an attractive and dramatic version of this modern saint’s inspiring life of lofty renunciation and Vishwa Seva. DRAMATIS PERSONATE Saint dedicating his life to the Appaya Dikshitar: An unequalled scholar in awakening of humanity. Sanskrit and renowned devotee of Lord Siva: Kailasapathy Bhagawan. Lord Siva.

  • Poetry's Afterthought: Kalidasa and the Experience of Reading Shiv
    Poetry’s Afterthought: Kalidasa and the Experience of Reading Shiv Subramaniam Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy on the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Shiv Subramaniam All rights reserved ABSTRACT Poetry’s Afterthought: Kalidasa and the Experience of Reading Shiv Subramaniam This dissertation concerns the reception of the poet Kalidasa (c. 4th century), one of the central figures in the Sanskrit literary tradition. Since the time he lived and wrote, Kalidasa’s works have provoked many responses of different kinds. I shall examine how three writers contributed to this vast tradition of reception: Kuntaka, a tenth-century rhetorician from Kashmir; Vedantadesika, a South Indian theologian who lived in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; and Sri Aurobindo, an Indian English writer of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries who started out as an anticolonial activist and later devoted his life to spiritual exercises. While these readers lived well after Kalidasa, they were all deeply invested in his poetry. I wish to understand why Kalidasa’s poetry continued to provoke extended responses in writing long after its composition. It is true that readers often use past literary texts to various ends of their own devising, just as they often fall victim to reading texts anachronistically. In contradistinction to such cases, the examples of reading I examine highlight the role that texts themselves, not just their charisma or the mental habits of their readers, can have in constituting the reading process. They therefore urge us to formulate a more robust understanding of textual reception, and to reconsider the contemporary practice of literary criticism.

Added to this was an inborn eagerness to serve all and an innate feeling of unity with all mankind. Though born in an orthodox family, Swamiji was broadminded and catholic, pious and devout. His passion for service drew him to the medical career; and soon he gravitated to where he thought his service was most needed. Malaya claimed him. He had earlier been editing a Health Journal and wrote extensively on health problems. He discovered that people needed right knowledge most of all: dissemination of that knowledge he espoused as his own mission. It was divine dispensation and the blessing of God upon mankind that the doctor of body and mind renounced his career and took to a life of renunciation to qualify himself for ministering to the soul of man.

  • Atmarpanastuti of Shrimad Appayya Dikshitendra 3 (With Translation by S.N.Sastri) 4 Srimad Appayya Dikshitendra Was One of the Greatest 5 Exponents of Advaita
    1 ´ÉÏqÉSmmÉrrÉSÏͤÉiÉålSìÌuÉUÍcÉiÉÉ AÉiqÉÉmÉïhÉxiÉÑÌiÉÈ || 2 AtmArpaNastuti of shrImad Appayya Dikshitendra 3 (With translation by S.N.Sastri) 4 Srimad Appayya Dikshitendra was one of the greatest 5 exponents of advaita. He is said to have lived from 1520 to 6 1593 AD. One of his numerous works is AtmArpaNastuti. It is a 7 very moving work. The story is that once he wanted to test the 8 intensity of his devotion. For that purpose he consumed a 9 datura seed which produces intoxication and asked his 10 disciples to write down all that he said during that state. This 11 turned out to be the beautiful AtmArpaNastuti in praise of Lord 12 Shiva. 13 In this work he has praised Lord Shiva as the highest 14 among the Trinity. This should not be understood to mean that 15 he was a shaivite with a bias against viShNu. He was an 16 advaitin and so made no distinction between shiva and viShNu. 17 He says this clearly in the following shloka:-- 18 ÌuÉwhÉÑuÉÉï zɃ¡ûUÉå uÉÉ ´ÉÑÌiÉÍzÉZÉUÌaÉUÉqÉxiÉÑ iÉÉimÉrÉïpÉÔÍqÉÈ 19 lÉÉxqÉÉMÇü iÉ§É uÉÉSÈ mÉëxÉUÌiÉ ÌMüqÉÌmÉ xmɹqɲæiÉpÉÉeÉÉqÉç | 20 ÌMÇüiuÉÏzɲåwÉaÉÉRûÉlÉsÉMüÍsÉiÉ™SÉÇ SÒqÉïiÉÏlÉÉÇ SÒ£üÏ- 21 pÉïXèû£ÑÇü rɦÉÉå qÉqÉÉrÉÇ lÉ ÌWû pÉuÉiÉÑ iÉiÉÉå ÌuÉwhÉÑÌuɲåwÉzɃ¡ûÉ || 22 Meaning—Let viShNu or shankara be the purport of the words 23 of the upaniShads. We advaitins have no dispute whatsoever 24 on that point. My attempt is only to counter the biased 25 statements of the evil-minded persons whose hearts are 26 burning with the fire of hatred of Shiva.
