This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hamburg Atreya Shiksha Codice is a palm leaf bundle containing 36 Shiksha texts. Written in the grantha script with a strong and consistent hand, and preserved in the Staats- und Universitaetsbibliothek Hamburg, it is a well-curated collection of texts on Vedic phonology from the Taittiriya recension of Krishna Yajur Veda. The complete collection of texts is presented here in the Devanagari script, with an extensive introduction, describing the topics and themes of each text. The Atreya Shiksha is the most famous text in this bundle, discovered by Parameshwara Aithal and described for the first time in his Descriptive Bibliography of Veda Lakshana texts. Together with Pari Shiksha, the Atreya Shiksha presents the details of the varnakrama, or letter-by-letter recitation of the Vedic text. There are altogether 9 texts in this collection named after great seers of ancient times, Atreya, Bharadvaja, Kauhaliya, Lakshmikanta, Paniniya, Pari, Vasishtha, Vyasa and Shambhu. There are seven texts named Shiksha which bring out specific details of Vedic phonology, Aranya Shiksha, Kalanirnaya Shiksha, Sarvasammata Shiksha, Sarvasammata Shiksha Savyakhya, Siddhanta Shiksha, Yohi Prapti Shiksha, and Yohi Bhashya. There are texts which teach the details of Jata and the vikriti modes of recitation, Jatamani, Jatamani Vyakhyanam, Jatavalli and Trikrama Lakshanam. There are four texts teaching the fine points of Vedic accents, Svara Panchashat, Svara Samparki Savyakhyana, Svaravadhana Lakshanam and Uccodarki Lakshana Vyakhya. There are five Baith texts devoted to counting the occurrence of specific features in the Vedic texts, Ravana Baith, Ravana Baith paribhasha, Narada Baith, Narada Baith Vyakhya and Vaidyanatha Baith. There are seven texts devoted to fine points of pronunciation, Antanirdesham, Aruna Shamanam, Pranava Vichara, Shadvimshati Sutra, Shakha Shamana, Visarjaniya Lakshanam and Yamapatti. More than half of the 36 texts presented here have not been published before. The scribe, Cakra, son of Rama Aiyyangar of Uruttiti, who originally wrote the palm leaves perhaps 150 years ago, has collected together the broadest, most comprehensive collection of Shiksha texts available in the world today. The texts in this codice compass both the depth and breadth of insight of the ancient seers of Vedic phonology

Download or read book Vedic Cosmography and Astronomy written by Richard L. Thompson and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 2004 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mysteries of the fifth Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam have long puzzled students of Vedic cosmography and astronomy. Confronted with a description of the universe that seems much at variance with the information provided by our senses and standard astronomical calculations, foreign observers and even Indian commentators from the middle ages up to the present have concluded that the Bhagavatam`s account elaborated in other Puranas must be mythological. On the other hand the same persons have been much impressed with vedic astronomical treatises the jyotisasastras which provide remarkably accurate measurements of the solar system.

Book excerpt: No religion ever remains static: it affects and is in turn affected by material reality. In this book, Sharma examines the contours of this creative tension in contemporary Hinduism. Sharma attempts to raise self-awareness of this dimension of Hinduism to an unprecedented level. In this way, he hopes, that in the context of modernization and globalization, Hindus will be able to make conscious choices that will keep their religion at the cutting edge of the contemporary world instead of the periphery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second title in the series published for the Space Telescope Science Institute researches the current models of quasar absorption and the systems of absorption lines in the spectra of quasars. Experts in this field discuss the nature of the absorbing process in the vicinity of quasars, the "Lyman-alpha forest", metal-line systems, and quasars as probes of high redshift galaxies. The Hubble Space Telescope will be a valuable tool for learning more about the physics and astronomy of quasars.

Download or read book Researching Women written by Louise Morley and published by Inst of Education. This book was released on 2005 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated bibliography documents the wealth of scholarship on gender and higher education in the Commonwealth, particularly in low-income countries. It contains the texts that do not reach the public domain, including conference papers, seminar papers and MA and doctoral theses. The aim is to present as full a picture as possible of issues, debates and concerns that have arisen over the past ten years. The bibliography originated in the Gender Equity in Commonwealth Higher Education Research Project. While there is literature on girls and education in low-income countries, there is little material published about women's experiences of higher education, despite the research on gender equity in higher education across the Commonwealth. Researching Women addresses this lack by describing the location and reviewing the content of writing from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Australasia and the UK. As such, it should be a valuable resource for gender scholars who are interested in international patterns and interventions for gender equity in higher education.
Download or read book EBOOK SCHOOLING SEXUALITIES written by Debbie Epstein and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 1998-01-16 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Schooling Sexualities, Debbie Epstein and Richard Johnson bring together contemporary debates about sexuality with the study of schooling. They pose controversial questions. How far is schooling influenced by wider public debates and scandals about sexuality? How can we understand the role and limits of moral traditionalism? What has the impact of feminism and the lesbian and gay movement been? How have these radical influences been recuperated? What part does schooling play in the production of sexual and other identities? Why is sex education in schools so 'impossible'? What are the strategies for improving it? They have written the first sustained study of these questions - accessible, engaging and argumentative. This will be a key text for teachers and policy makers, for those concerned with sexual and educational politics and for students of sexuality, gender, cultural studies and the history and sociology of education.
