Halbfass, India and Europe, p. 280) Les sixaines de darśana During the last centuries, the six-fold group of Vaiśeşika, Nyāya, Sāņkhya, Yoga, Mīmāņ- sā, and Vedānta ( ) hasgained increasing recognition in presentations of Indian philosophy, and this scheme of the systems is generally accepted today.1 Cest en effet cette liste de sys- tèmes philosophiques (darśana) quévoque le plus souvent, pour lindianiste, le terme şađ- darśana. Il est cependant bien connu, également, que le regroupement sous cette étiquette de ces six systèmes brahmaniques orthodoxes est relativement récent, sans doute postérieur au XIIe siècle;2 un survol de la littérature doxographique sanskrite fait apparaître quil nest du reste pas le plus fréquent parmi les configurations censées comprendre lensemble des sys- tèmes.3 La plupart des doxographies incluent en effet des descriptions des trois grands sys- tèmes non brahmaniques, cest-à-dire le matérialisme,4 le bouddhisme et le jaïnisme. Le Yoga en tant que tel et le Vedānta,par contre, sont souvent absents de la liste des systèmes, en particulier avant les XIIIe-XIVe siècles. Il nen reste pas moins que les darśana sont souvent considérés comme étant au nombre de six, quelle quen soit la liste.

  • 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.

  • Historical Continuity and Colonial Disruption
    8 Historical Continuity and Colonial Disruption major cause of the distortions discussed in the foregoing chapters A has been the lack of adequate study of early texts and pre-colonial Indian thinkers. Such a study would show that there has been a historical continuity of thought along with vibrant debate, controversy and innovation. A recent book by Jonardan Ganeri, the Lost Age of Reason: Philosophy in Early Modern India 1450-1700, shows this vibrant flow of Indian thought prior to colonial times, and demonstrates India’s own variety of modernity, which included the use of logic and reasoning. Ganeri draws on historical sources to show the contentious nature of Indian discourse. He argues that it did not freeze or reify, and that such discourse was established well before colonialism. This chapter will show the following: • There has been a notion of integral unity deeply ingrained in the various Indian texts from the earliest times, even when they 153 154 Indra’s Net offer diverse perspectives. Indian thought prior to colonialism exhibited both continuity and change. A consolidation into what we now call ‘Hinduism’ took place prior to colonialism. • Colonial Indology was driven by Europe’s internal quest to digest Sanskrit and its texts into European history without contradicting Christian monotheism. Indologists thus selectively appropriated whatever Indian ideas fitted into their own narratives and rejected what did not. This intervention disrupted the historical continuity of Indian thought and positioned Indologists as the ‘pioneers’. • Postmodernist thought in many ways continues this digestion and disruption even though its stated purpose is exactly the opposite.

  • YOSHIMITSU YOSHIHIKO's CONTRIBUTION to GLOBAL RELIGIOUS STUDIES a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the School of Continuing
    YOSHIMITSU YOSHIHIKO’S CONTRIBUTION TO GLOBAL RELIGIOUS STUDIES A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Ko Takemoto Georgetown University Washington, DC November 1, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Ko Takemoto All Rights Reserved ii YOSHIMITSU YOSHIHIKO’S CONTRIBUTION TO GLOBAL RELIGIOUS STUDIES Ko Takemoto Thesis Advisor: Professor Kevin M. Doak ABSTRACT Yoshimitsu Yoshihiko (1904-45) is one of the most prominent Catholic theologians in Japan. He grew up in an environment where non-Christian religions were taken for granted on their own terms. Thus, Yoshimitsu adopted a generic approach to global religious study instead of the European approach. Yoshimitsu’s understanding of Christianity and other religions is based on two dimensions: “nature” and “the supernatural.” He elaborates on each religion’s doctrines and practice based on these two dimensions. Some religions focus on the realm of nature, but other religions, including Christianity, elaborate discourse through the relationship between nature and the supernatural. Yoshimitsu illustrates differences within global religions based on this “generic” scheme. This is different from the conventional European pluralistic approach, which integrates global religions through a single norm such as “the Real,” “supersensory realm,” or “pursuit of limitless better possibility.” Utilizing Yoshimitsu’s idea as the basis for a template, various religions’ doctrines can be more precisely illustrated. Through his “generic” scheme of religion, Yoshimitsu emphasizes the key aspect of theocentric humanism in Christianity. This idea is based on his Thomistic thoughts on the Order of Creation, i.e., that God created humans in his image, and the Supernatural Order of Salvation, i.e., that Christ is given by God as Grace.

  • Chapter-III Means of Knowing an Absence Before Discussing Anupalabdhi As a Pramāna for Grasping Absence It Is Necessary to Pr
    Chapter-III Means of Knowing an Absence Before discussing anupalabdhi as a pramāna for grasping absence it is necessary to provide some ideas about the notions of pramā i.e., valid cognition and pramāna i.e., the source of valid cognition. The Indian concepts of pramā (valid cognition) and pramāna (source of valid cognition) come under the purview of epistemology. The concept of pramā is different in different systems of Indian Philosophy and accordingly the nature and number of pramāna is admitted there. Hence before taking up the problem of the means of knowing absence properly, it is essential to discuss the theories of different schools of Indian philosophy regarding the valid cognition (pramā) and the means of valid cognition (pramāna). According to Indian thinkers, a true cognition means certain (niścita), uncontradicted (avādhita) which is distinct from a false one (mithyā-jňāna). In Indian philosophy, the word „jňāna‟ stands for both valid and invalid cognition.1 The „jňāna‟ or cognition, which is synonyms, is divided into two classes: pramā (valid cognition) and apramā. According to Nyāya, valid cognition (pramā) is a definite or certain (asandigdha), unerring (yathārtha) knowledge and it consists in knowing the 25 object as it is.2 But a cognition is invalid which has, for its predicate, a character which is not possessed by the subject (of the cognition). Thus, pramā means yathārthānubhava i.e., the definite and assured knowledge of an object which is true presentational in character. In other words, true cognition is an expression whose qualifier is such that it belongs to the object (tadvati tatprakārakatvam).

  • 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.

  • 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. Kalua: Devoted servant of Dr. Kuppuswami Narayana Bhattar: Mahant or the Chief Priest Purnabhodha and Vishuddhananda: of the great Temple at Conjeevaram.

  • 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.
