    A Dark Age in Medieval Maharashtra? an Essay in Interreligious Understanding

    ASIAN AND AFRICAN STUDIES, 13 , 2004, 1, 73-80 A DARK AGE IN MEDIEVAL MAHARASHTRA? AN ESSAY IN INTERRELIGIOUS UNDERSTANDING D ušan D eák Department of Ethnology, UCM Trnava, nám. J. Herdu 2, Trnava, Slovakia History of medieval Deccan is marked by the political dominance of Muslims. Ethnically incoherent ruling Muslim nobility participated in the creation of the kingdom of Bahmanls with the assistance of the indigenous aristocracy. The process of establishment of the independent regional state is often viewed negatively by local authors. This paper aims to show the inadequacy of such standpoint using the example of the theory named “The Dark Age of Marathi Literature”. When the representatives of foreign religion subdue a country, whose reli­ gion seems to be the very opposite, as the representatives of Islam had found the religion in India the very opposite to the strong Islamic monotheism, such event could not pass without any conflict altogether. But it does not mean that the conflict became prevalent feature of the medieval life. In the medieval period, anywhere in the world, the conquest was the means of the state’s economic poli­ cy. It would be a mistake to view the shifts of power during the medieval times as unacceptable threat to human liberty, for that is wherefrom the liberalism of present times evolved. Moreover the modern communalism by claiming the rights for “some” again reverted to the conquest of the “other’s lands”. The destruction caused by Muslim invaders to India and the rules imposed by the sultans are often perceived much worse than the historical facts can suggest.

Nonattachment and Ethics in Yoga Traditions* Mikel Burley / University of Leeds In this yogi-ridden age, it is too readily assumed that ‘non-attachment’ is not only better than a full acceptance of earthly life, but that the ordinary man only rejects it because it is too difficult: in other words, that the average human being is a failed saint.

    A Study of Selected Hymns of Saint Tukaram

    SRJIS/BIMONTHLY/NIVEDITA DESHMUKH(1662-1665) A STUDY OF SELECTED HYMNS OF SAINT TUKARAM Nivedita Deshmukh, Ph.D. Department of EducationD.Y.Patil UniversityNavi Mumbai Abstract In total, an advice was given in all the compositions of all saints to adopt the path of devotion like importance of remembrance of God, devotion without expectation of any fruit, submission to him who is sans discrimination. The entire saints have simplified the path to devotion of God, mancipation of life and attaining the highest place of freedom from life i.e. mokshya, with their self experience only by pronouncing his name. The fulfillment, happiness and freedom from cycle of life and death of the entire human beings is not possible without chanting of Harinama. Dnyandev demanded blessings from his Mentor of peaceful universe by making a pledge of motto ‘I will make the entire universe happy’ and gave upmost place to devotion of Guru. All saints renounced everything and guided the true path of devotion by keeping superstition at bay and not following the path of pilgrimage, giving up the conjugal life and through fasts but by taking refuge to counting His name, reciting Him with true heart. Everyone has to has adopt any profession to meet both hands meet. It might be any profession. But He is omnipresent. Every saint has made his profession great through his devotion. For eg. Savata Mali, Gora Kumbhar, Narhari Sonar, Nama Shimpi, Tukarametc. The truth of presence of God in every living and dead, place should be accepted is the insistence of the saint. Every composition of the saints are pregnant with meanings and they are useful in finding the solution to the problems in the life.
