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.

DOI: 10.1093/oxartj/kcq013 Masculine Regeneration and the Attenuated Body in the Early Works of Nandalal Bose Niharika Dinkar Boise State University In 2008, the works of the Bengali artist Nandalal Bose (1882-1966) enjoyed a rare North American museum tour, first at the San Diego Museum of Art and then at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. In this first major international excursion, Bose’s works were celebrated as an exemplar of the new modern visual language adopted by nationalist artists as they rejected Europeanized academic techniques in vogue around the turn of the twentieth century. Along with stalwarts like Abanindranath Tagore, Asit Haldar and Kshitindranath Majumdar, the ‘swadeshi’ (indigenous) artists marked an emphatic turn to revive an ‘Indian’ aesthetic that has been seen to direct the course of modern Indian art since the early twentieth century. However, despite the persistence of this celebratory narrative, one key aspect of swadeshi nationalist politics that has remained unexplored is the distinctive slender body their art authorised.

  • Kalasha (Bumburet Variety)
    ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE IPA Kalasha (Bumburet variety) Alexei Kochetov University of Toronto [email protected] Paul Arsenault Tyndale University [email protected] Jan Heegård Petersen University of Copenhagen [email protected] Sikandar Kalas Central Film School, London [email protected] Taj Khan Kalash Kalasha Heritage Conservation Initiative [email protected] Kalasha (ISO 639-3: kls), also known as Kalashamon, is a Northwestern Indo-Aryan lan- guage spoken in Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkwa Province in northern Pakistan, primarily in the valleys of Bumburet, Rumbur, Urtsun, and Birir, as shown in Figure 1.1 The number of speakers is estimated between 3000 and 5000. The Ethnologue classifies the language status as ‘vigorous’ (Eberhard, Simons & Fennig 2019) but some researchers con- sider it ‘threatened’ (Rahman 2006, Khan & Mela-Athanasopoulou 2011). Kalasha has been in close contact with Nuristani and other Northwestern Indo-Aryan languages. Among the latter, the influence of Khowar has been particularly strong because it functions as a lingua franca of Chitral District (Liljegren & Khan 2017). The Kalasha lexicon includes many loan- words from Khowar, as well as from Persian, Arabic, and Urdu (Trail & Cooper 1999). Early efforts to put the language in writing employed Arabic script but a Latin-based script was adopted in 2000 (Cooper 2005, Kalash & Heegård 2016). An early study of the Kalasha sound system is Morgenstierne (1973, based on field- work conducted in 1929). More recent studies include Trail & Cooper (1985), Mørch (1995), Mørch & Heegaard (1997), Bashir (2003), Heegård & Mørch (2004), Cooper (2005), Heegård Petersen (2006), Di Carlo (2010), and Heegård Petersen (2015).

Bhagvaan Vishnu is the protector and sustainer of the universe. By his grace all the jivees (living forms which include from the smallest creatures to humans) have life. His grace flows through Mother Lakshmi – the energy source of Lord Vishnu. Mother Lakshmi is understood by most hindus as wealth – the other half of Bhagvaan Vishnu (ardhaangini). She is in fact the whole cosmos. Wealth is not just money, but all the various material and spiritual forms without which life would not be possible. Food, water, heat, air and earth as basic elements for life are essential. These are further expanded as the needs of life derive from such aids e.g. cattle for milk and for tilling land, which in modern times have transformed into machinery like farm tractors and tilling equipment. All these are the grace of Bhagvaan Vishnu representing Mother Lashmi. Shri Satya Naaraayan kathaa begins by Naarad Muni perturbed by the sufferings of people on earth due to their bad / evil actions.
