Hence the flow of the entire peace and sustainable development emerges out of the holistic whole of the knowledge that comes through the pipelines of the multidisciplinary approach. In this holistic system of multidisciplinary approach, different branches of knowledge crossing their boundaries are merged together in such a harmonious way that without harming one another they form a broad system to generate pure knowledge with zero or minimum negative effect coupled with maximum welfare of the human and non-human world. When knowledge of one discipline crossing its boundaries goes to the other discipline, it does not harm that discipline but enriches it through idealization by adding something of nobility to it that makes its knowledge more beneficial, valid, vast, true and useful. But the wrong thing happening in the present world is that knowledge is being abused and misused in the name of the specialization. Currently in the epistemological field the main problem is that the modern scientific culture accomplished with modern technology and blinded with material progress is rapidly moving towards its own annihilation without caring and curing the loss of the non-human world as well as moral and spiritual values. Literature which has the right to say everything in any way provides fertile ground to multidisciplinary system of knowledge for the welfare of the world as a whole. Hence this paper concentrating on the seminal works of some literary bards intends to reflect how different disciplines interwoven in the web of literature create a whole of holistic knowledge that shapes better and bright future for humanity on this planet. Keywords: Deep ecology, Interdisciplinary approach, Holistic knowledge, Science, Spirituality, Technology. Knowledge is the grace, glory, and dignity of human beings as it leads to peace, progress, prosperity and happiness of the world, thereby in its holistic form it creates a halo of admiration with magnetic aura around the human face elevating and uplifting the mortal beings to divine status. The Vedas also assert that knowledge is the pivot of all kinds of progress. Hence the flow of the entire peace and sustainable progress emerges out of the holistic whole of the knowledge that comes through the pipelines of the multi-disciplinary approach. In this holistic system of multi- disciplinary approach, different branches of knowledge crossing their boundaries are merged together in such a harmonious way that without harming one another they form a broad system to generate pure 5 Labyrinth: Volume-6, No.4 October-2015 ISSN 0976-0814; pp. 16-21 Lilith: A Woman's Tale of Surfacing - Sujatha Aravindakshan Abstract: The object of this paper is to present the theme of surfacing in Sara Maitland's short story, “Lilith.” The quest for self-revelation that Lilith has undertaken is an eternal one, while the journey of Cain is ephemeral and comes to an end with his death, which relieves him of his sense of sin and guilt. Keywords: Feminism, feminine, Jewish and Bablyonian myths. “Myths often have some serious underlying purpose beyond that of telling a story” – Diane Purkiss The object of this paper is to present the theme of surfacing in Sara Maitland's short story, “Lilith.” Most of Maitland's short stories fall under the genre of mythic feminism, where she rewrites popular myths with the sole aim of exploring the feminist vein in them. In “Women's Rewriting of Myths”, Diane Purkiss discusses the problematic approach of feminist authors who, by ... rewriting the myth—changing the narrative, changing the position of the speaker, changing the spaces available for identification—are held to be at once making a dramatic break with the myths as told by the fathers, and also to be recovering the dark, secret, always unconscious truths which the fathers have struggled to repress. (444) Generally, feminists are of the opinion that there are three major phases in a woman's life – Scooting, Succumbing, and Surfacing. Women pass through either of these phases or all of them in succession. Scooting is the phase where woman flees either out of fear or hatred from the ideals of men. But not every woman succeeds in this attempt. Dorothy Dinnerstein rightly points out, “The prevailing symbiosis between men and women is something more than a product of societal coercion” (234). In other words, women cannot evade men for long, for men, through the exertion of patriarchal authority, manage to force women either into willing or unwilling subjugation. Women therefore are forced to encounter the succumbing phase. According to most women, subservience is predestined, but when it becomes intolerable, a few begin to discover methods of extricating themselves from the yoke of subordination and oppression. The desire to acquit oneself from the norms of an androcentric society is the first symptom of the surfacing of a woman's personality. Radical feminists affirm that surfacing is the phase of rejuvenation or rebirth in a woman's life. There are two types of women. The obsequious woman knows that she has succumbed to man either willingly or unwillingly and yet makes no attempt to break free from those shackles that have bound her to the male-centred society. This could be probably out of fear or her unwillingness to change. The second type of woman, unlike her docile counterparts, is bold enough to emerge free 16 Labyrinth: Volume-6, No.4 October-2015 ISSN 0976-0814; pp. 22-29 Towards Her “Poetics”: Mahadevi Varma's Shrinkhala ki Kariyan in the light of Gynocriticism - Almee Raza Abstract: If literature is a representation and reflection of society, a society, then comprises both man and woman.

  • 4Th Mahadevi Verma Memorial Lecture Series
    SECTION I ON MAHADEVI VERMA MAHADEVI VERMA ON EDUCATION SHANKAR SHARAN1 Today's graduate has to think ... those who have all the worldly facilities want our life values. Why should those who already have such values consider themselves poor? (Mahadevi Verma) Mahadevi believed that a person is always a student in the realm of thought and of feelings. If not, then somewhere he must have closed the door of his heart and mind. She was renowned as a poetess, but in fact, she devoted a lot of time during her life to education and teaching. She had established the Prayag Mahila Vidyapeeth, which she served for as long as she could. Few people know that her devotion to education was a conscious choice as she believed that educational institutions built the nation and some of her great contemporaries have noted that. Sachchidanand Vatsyayan 'Agyeya' drew attention to the fact that according to Mahadevi, her poetry was the reflection of her moments of leisure and 'she would devote the rest of her life to the field of education, where it was required.'2 There are many definitions of 'Vidya' (knowledge/ education) in Indian literature. What Mahadevi liked the most was 'Sa Vidya Ya Vimuktye' – which means 'education is that which liberates'. She noted that in the past, Indian scholars had a very special regard for education and that is why it was always kept under state control. 1.

  • Language and Literature
    1 Indian Languages and Literature Introduction Thousands of years ago, the people of the Harappan civilisation knew how to write. Unfortunately, their script has not yet been deciphered. Despite this setback, it is safe to state that the literary traditions of India go back to over 3,000 years ago. India is a huge land with a continuous history spanning several millennia. There is a staggering degree of variety and diversity in the languages and dialects spoken by Indians. This diversity is a result of the influx of languages and ideas from all over the continent, mostly through migration from Central, Eastern and Western Asia. There are differences and variations in the languages and dialects as a result of several factors – ethnicity, history, geography and others. There is a broad social integration among all the speakers of a certain language. In the beginning languages and dialects developed in the different regions of the country in relative isolation. In India, languages are often a mark of identity of a person and define regional boundaries. Cultural mixing among various races and communities led to the mixing of languages and dialects to a great extent, although they still maintain regional identity. In free India, the broad geographical distribution pattern of major language groups was used as one of the decisive factors for the formation of states. This gave a new political meaning to the geographical pattern of the linguistic distribution in the country. According to the 1961 census figures, the most comprehensive data on languages collected in India, there were 187 languages spoken by different sections of our society.

  • Amrita Pritam: the Revenue Stamp and Harivanshraibachchan: in the Afternoon of Time • Chapter III
    Chapter Three Amrita Pritam: The Revenue Stamp and HarivanshRaiBachchan: In the Afternoon of Time • Chapter III (i) AmritaPritam '.The Revenue Stamp (ii) Hariwansh Rai Bachchan: In the Afternoon of Time The present chapter discusses those two writers who have made a mark in the Hterature of their regional languages, and consequently in India and abroad. Amrita Pritam is the first woman writer in the Punjabi literature emerged as a revolutionary poet and novelist who illuminated the predicament of women caused by shackles of traditions and patriarchy.
