In fact there are numerous genuine texts from the Indian tradition that contain data on this subject: the problem is that such texts are often incorrectly or inaccurately quoted by some authors to support theories that are opposite to the teachings explicitly presented in those same original texts.

  • Apsaras - the Dancing Damsels of Indra's Court
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Apsaras - The Dancing Damsels of Indra's Court Copyright © 2019, DollsofIndia The interesting and entertaining tales of Indian mythology talk about not only Gods and Goddesses, but also about celestial beings of all kinds; especially those working in tandem with the Devas and Devis; loyally serving them; many times, actually being the catalysts of change, bringing about transformation for the good of all beings in all the three worlds. Such is the tale of the enchanting Apsaras of the court of Indra, the God of the Devas. Apsaras Apsaras are celestial nymphs, who dance in the court of Indra, the King of the Devas. Quite a few in number; they are considered to be extremely beautiful, charming, seductive and greatly talented in both music and dance. Apsara - Temple Sculpture from Belur, Karnataka, India (Photo Print) Etymology The word "Apsara" originates from the Sanskrit "Apsaras". It could loosely be defined as "the one going in the waters or between the waters of the clouds". There are two types of Apsaras, namely, laukika (wordly) and daivika (divine). Thirty-four nymphs are specified of the first type and ten of the second type. These celestial beings are also known as vidyadhari or tep apsar in Khmer, acchara in Pali, bo sa la tu in Vietnam, bidadari in Indonesia and Malaysia, widadari in Java and aapson in Thailand. The most famous Apsaras in Indian mythology are Rambha, Menaka, Urvashi, Tilottama and Ghritachi. The Puranas also mention other minor nymphs such as Mishrakesi, Vapu, Viprachitti, Purvachitti, Sahajanya, Karnika, Punjikasthala, Viswachi, Rithisthala, Umlocha, Pramlocha, Swayamprabha,Janapadi, and Adrika.

  • Origins of Europe's Fairies—Proto-Indo Europeans on The
    Origins of Europe’s Fairies—Proto-Indo Europeans On the Neolithic steppes of Eurasia in a primal wilderness that stretched out for thousands of miles, a wilderness in which humans could still be hunted by wolves and bears were born the seeds of most of the European languages. It was here buffeted by the cold winds of the Eurasian steppes and always on the look out for bears, wolves and other wild animals which at any moment could take ei- ther their lives or the lives of the animals on whose lives they depended for their food – that one peo- ple began to flourish. The Proto-Indo-Europeans began to find new ways to utilize animals to help them survive as they began to ride horses for the first time and use oxen to pull newly invented wag- ons in order help them herd cattle and sheep with the help of domesticated dogs. When darkness came and the wind would grow frigid these people would gather around the fires to cook, eat, and protect themselves from the cold as well as the darkness of the unknown that lay be- yond their camp as the howls of the wolves and the growls of the bears surrounded them.

    AJSHR, Vol. 1, No. 2, APR-MAY 2020 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN RESEARCH ISSN: 2690-9626 Vol. 1, No.2, Apr-May 2020 Exploring ‘Shanderella’ through the glass slipper and abhijanashakuntalam Jhanvi Duggal1, Parul Mishra2 1Student, School of Humanities & Social Science, GD Goenka University, India 2Asstistant Professor, School of Humanities & Social Science, GD Goenka University, India 1 2 Emails: [email protected] , [email protected] Correspondent author: [email protected] Abstract: The present paper intends to explore the origins of the two renowned texts, the supernatural fairytale of Cinderella and the traditional drama of Shakuntala. Fairy tales are fabricated stories about superficial, magical and imaginary beings or lands where as Dramas intend to portray a character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and a series of dialogues. Both of my chosen texts are originated from Mythology as the earliest known variant of the Cinderella story was recorded by a Greek Historian in the late first century and Kalidasa’s Abhijanashakuntala though, is a Sanskrit text, since most of the traces of Sanskrit language have been originated from Greek Mythology, so that permits us to claim Shakuntala’s origination from Greek Mythology as well. Further, we will explore the origination of both the characters, Cinderella and Shakuntala and how can one conduct a comparative study between the two. Keywords: glass slipper, supernatural, traditional, Shakuntala. Introduction Storytelling including fairy tales have a deep seated place in the minds of the audience and is extremely influential even till date. It is one of the most significant forms of human creativity and on the other hand Dramas intends to portray a character or to tell a story usually involving conflicts and emotions through action and a series of dialogues.

  • Visualizing Yakshi in the Religious History of Kerala
    Visualizing Yakshi in the Religious History of Kerala Sandhya M. Unnikrishnan1 1. Department of History, NSS College Manjeri, Malappuram, Kerala, India (Email: [email protected]) Received: 30 October 2017; Revised: 24 November 2017; Accepted: 18 December 2017 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 5 (2017): 757‐777 Abstract: Yakshi is a female goddess associated with the fertility of earth, love and beauty. She probably originated with the early Dravidians but have subsequently been absorbed in to the imagery of Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. She has been worshipped since pre historic times in Indian. The roles and functions of this deity went through dramatic changes over period of time. The cult is closely associated with the primitive mode of worship even before the development of philosophy and theological doctrines in the Hindu fold. This paper intends to analyse the development of Yakshi cult in Kerala and its prevalence in Kerala society. The cult points of this deity are placed along the land routes of trade leading from Karnataka and Tamil Nadu into Kerala. A detailed survey of the midlands and low lands of Kerala testifies that the cult points were located along the water highways and interior land routes starting from the Western Ghats to Arabian Sea. The cult is closely interlinked with the Gramadevatha concept and with folk deities. Keywords: Yakshi, Fertility, Cult Points, Jainism, Gramadevatha, Folk Deities, Kavu Introduction The word Yaksha, literally means somebody shining, may allude to human beings shining wealth and fame or superhuman beings shining with virtues. Yakshi may be regarded as the embodiment of feminine beauty.

    Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art Annual Report | 2017–2018 Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art Annual Report 2017–2018 Director’s Report Preparing for Change Ten years is a good amount of time to take stock—to see what’s been accomplished, learn lessons from what hasn’t, and assess both the opportunities and challenges on the horizon. It’s been just over ten years since I was honored to become the director of this truly exceptional museum, and so it is with both pride and regret that I share my intention to retire in August 2019. We are, fortunately, at a different place than we were in the fall of 2008, when I came on board. The JSMA, as we know it today, was just three years old, having been closed in the early 2000s to embark on a renova- tion and expansion, reopening in 2005. In just that brief period, it became clear that the “new” museum demanded a new vision and a much larger and more complex infrastructure. My first years, despite a national financial meltdown, were exciting and filled with promise and possibili- ties. A highly supportive university, from the president on down (and there were a few presidents!), joined generous donors and other stakeholders on campus and further afield to envision what we should be and how we could get there. We prioritized our academic role and our commitment to transform students into productive, global citizens. We identified the needs of our larger community and launched K-12 programs aimed at demonstrating the value of the arts—for academic achievement, cross-cultural understanding, personal growth, creativity, and civic responsibility.
