Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Indian Philosophy written by Jonardon Ganeri and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 841 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Indian Philosophy tells the story of philosophy in India through a series of exceptional individual acts of philosophical virtuosity. It brings together forty leading international scholars to record the diverse figures, movements, and approaches that constitute philosophy in the geographical region of the Indian subcontinent, a region sometimes nowadays designated South Asia. The volume aims to be ecumenical, drawing from different locales, languages, and literary cultures, inclusive of dissenters, heretics and sceptics, of philosophical ideas in thinkers not themselves primarily philosophers, and reflecting India's north-western borders with the Persianate and Arabic worlds, its north-eastern boundaries with Tibet, Nepal, Ladakh and China, as well as the southern and eastern shores that afford maritime links with the lands of Theravda Buddhism. Indian Philosophy has been written in many languages, including Pali, Prakrit, Sanskrit, Malayalam, Urdu, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Persian, Kannada, Punjabi, Hindi, Tibetan, Arabic and Assamese. From the time of the British colonial occupation, it has also been written in English. It spans philosophy of law, logic, politics, environment and society, but is most strongly associated with wide-ranging discussions in the philosophy of mind and language, epistemology and metaphysics (how we know and what is there to be known), ethics, metaethics and aesthetics, and metaphilosophy. The reach of Indian ideas has been vast, both historically and geographically, and it has been and continues to be a major influence in world philosophy. In the breadth as well as the depth of its philosophical investigation, in the sheer bulk of surviving texts and in the diffusion of its ideas, the philosophical heritage of India easily stands comparison with that of China, Greece, the Latin west, or the Islamic world.

Download or read book A Carnival of Parting written by Ann Grodzins Gold and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madhu Natisar Nath is a Rajasthani farmer with no formal schooling. He is also a singer, a musician, and a storyteller. At the center of A Carnival of Parting are Madhu Nath's oral performances of two linked tales about the legendary Indian kings, Bharthari of Ujjain and Gopi Chand of Bengal. Both characters, while still in their prime, leave thrones and families to be initiated as yogis—a process rich in adventure and melodrama, one that offers unique insights into popular Hinduism's view of world renunciation. Ann Grodzins Gold presents these living oral epic traditions as flowing narratives, transmitting to Western readers the pleasures, moods, and interactive dimensions of a village bard's performance. Three introductory chapters and an interpretive afterword, together with an appendix on the bard's language by linguist David Magier, supply A Carnival of Parting with a full range of ethnographic, historical, and cultural backgrounds. Gold gives a frank and engaging portrayal of the bard Madhu Nath and her work with him. The tales are most profoundly concerned, Gold argues, with human rather than divine realities. In a compelling afterword, she highlights their thematic emphases on politics, love, and death. Madhu Nath's vital colloquial telling of Gopi Chand and Bharthari's stories depicts renunciation as inevitable and interpersonal attachments as doomed, yet celebrates human existence as a "carnival of parting."

When a baby is born, his family takes him to the Haridwar to perform its Mundane (hair cut ceremony) rituals.… In the past centuries and even nowadays people at a very young age, come to the city to get the knowledge of Vedic ritual at gurukuls. On many auspicious occasions like marriage, people visit the city to take a bath in the sacred river Ganga. After the death, the family members take the ashes to immerse it in the holy river Ganga for the peace of soul. Here, you can explore many places and get vast knowledge in various subjects like Indian Vedic culture, yoga and even learn the Sanskrit language. So, explore the mythology, culture, temples, places to visit, things to do, places to eat, and much more about Haridwar like never before in “The Citygraphy of holy town Haridwar” People visit the place from different parts of the country and abroad. People of different ages get other enthusiasm to visit this holy place. Like an aged person would think- Oh! We are going to Ganga Maa's place, I will visit all the temples, and I will offer different offerings to God. Similarly, a young married man might want to go there to celebrate holidays with his family, as this is a great place to visit. Perhaps a picture will come in the minds of children to buy toys from Mota market in the name of going to Haridwar and view the city from Maa Mansa Devi and Maa Chandi Devi Temple. When young people make a trip towards the Himalayas, they usually make a night stay at Haridwar. People come here to visit in groups from colleges and offices. Often, people of the group first enjoy a forest safari in Rajaji National Park and then go rafting in the Rishikesh River. One thing remains common in the plan of each individual and that is to witness the evening Aarti of Goddess Ganga at Hari ki Pauri. That sound of Chanting of Mantras with temple bells

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhartrhari lived in the tenth century c.e. Being both a grammarian and philosopher, his influence on subsequent grammatical and philosophical thought in India has been enormous in spite of this modern scholarship has not yet given him the attention he deserves no doubt because his extent writings are difficult and were not until recently, available in satisfactory editions. Interest among scholars for Bhartrhari is now, however, growing. This is the reason why an international conference on Bhartrhari was organized in January 1992 in Pune, under the joint auspices of the University of Poons and the University of Lausanne (Switzerland). The present volume contains some of the papers read at this conference as well as an up-to-date bibliography on Bhartrhari.
