Book excerpt: About the Book: In the ancient land of Bharata, long before disastrous wars and civilization-shattering calamities, there existed a tribe known as the Vasus. These fearless warriors face an unforeseen menace that threatens their very existence: the relentless grip of Drought and Famine. Determined to secure a future for their people, their valiant king, Dyaus, calls upon his sons to embark on a perilous quest in search of salvation. Thus, Vaayu, Sakra, and Narain, accompanied by their sagacious tutor Brihaspati, set forth to seek refuge in the fertile lands of Sapta Sindhu. Their collective hope rests upon the benevolence of their maternal grandfather, Daksha, the respected governor of Kalibangan. However, little do they know that Daksha is burdened by his own predicaments, his realm threatened from within. The malevolent rebel Vritra, positioned within the impregnable fortress of the twin cities, Dholavira and Lauthal, seeks to wield his power over this sacred land. With sinister intentions, he has obstructed the Mighty Sarasvati, the very lifeblood that sustains Kalibangan and the surrounding regions. As the Vasu princes face the daunting challenge of overcoming Vritra's seemingly insurmountable fortress, their ancestral homeland dangle on the cliff of destruction. Will the Vasus triumph over their formidable foe and secure a prosperous future for their clan? Or will Vritra's indomitable strength and cunning prevail, plunging their people into everlasting darkness? The destiny of the Vasu tribe hangs in a delicate balance, as they navigate treacherous landscapes and engage in epic battles that will shape the course of their history. In this enthralling tale of courage, loyalty, and redemption, the ancient gods watch as mortal heroes strive to determine the fate of a world dangling on the edge of oblivion.

Storytelling for him is a remnant of the original system of Guru-Shishya relationship and the Shruti method of learning, a craft we have learnt from our grandparents. He strongly feels that this story has chosen him to be the thread-bearer of its narration.

Download or read book A Survey of Hinduism written by Klaus K. Klostermaier and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-03-10 with total page 720 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third edition of the classic text updates the information contained in the earlier editions, and includes new chapters on the origins of Hinduism; its history of relations with Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam; Hindu science; and Hindu measures of time. The chronology and the bibliography have been updated as well. A comprehensive survey of the Hindu tradition, the book deals with the history of Hinduism, the sacred writings of the Hindus, the Hindu worldview, and the specifics of the major branches of Hinduism—Vaisnavism, Saivism, and Saktism. It also focuses on the geographical ties of Hinduism with the land of India, the social order created by Hinduism, and the various systems of Hindu thought. Klaus K. Klostermaier describes the development of Hinduism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including present-day political Hinduism and the efforts to turn Hinduism into a modern world religion. A unique feature of the book is its treatment of Hinduism in a topical fashion, rather than by chronological description of the development of Hinduism or by summary of the literature. The complexities of Hindu life and thought are thus made real to the reader, and Hindus will recognize it as their own tradition.

Download or read book Epic Mythology written by E. Washburn Hopkins and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume strikes a new note in the study of Indian epics-the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. In it, for the first time, mythology is dissociated from the running threads of both the epic texts. The mythology of the two epics of India represents in general the belief of the people of Northern India along the lower Ganges within a few centuries of the Christian era. For the Mahabharata, the time from 300 B.C. to 400 A.D. The Mahabharata as a whole is later than the Ramayana, which is metrically more advanced and the work of one author. The rougher epic form of the Mahabharata, represents a life less rude than depicted in the Ramayana, and work of many hands and of different times. Epic mythology is, however, is fairly consistent. There is no great discrepancy between the character of any one god in the Mahabharata and that of the same god in Ramayana. Nor is the character of gods very different in different parts of the Mahabharata, save for the sectarian tendency to invert the positions of the three highest gods in favour of the sect.

Download or read book Bouquet of Rasa River of Rasa written by Bhānudatta Miśra and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhanu is probably the most famous Sanskrit poet that no one today has ever heard of. His “Bouquet of Rasa” and “River of Rasa,” both composed in the early sixteenth century, probably under the patronage of the Nizam of Ahmadnagar in western India, attracted the attention of the most celebrated commentators in early modern India. Some of the greatest painters of Mewar and Basohli vied to turn his subtle poems into pictures. And his verses were prized by poets everywhere: Abu al-Fazl, the preeminent scholar at Akbar’s court, translated them into Persian, and, Kshetráyya, the great Andhra poet of the next century, adapted them into Telugu. Many writers have described the types of heroines and heroes of Sanskrit literature (the subject of the “Bouquet of Rasa”) or explained the nature of aesthetic emotion (that of the “River of Rasa”), but none did so in verse of such exquisite and subtle artistry.

Download or read book Spanda Karikas written by Jaideva Singh and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spandakarikas are a number of verses that serve as a sort of commentary on the Siva-sutras. According to Saivagama, the divine consciousness is not simply cold, inert intellection. It is rather spanda, active, dynamic, throbbing with life, creative pulsation. In Siva-sutras, it is the prakasa aspect of the divine that is emphasized; in Spandakarikas, it is the vimarsa aspect that is emphasized. Together, these two books give us an integral view of Saiva philosophy. Ksemaraja has written a commentary on Spandakarikas, titled Spanda-nirnaya. He is fond of sesquipedalian compounds, long and windy sentences, but he is very profound in the comprehension of the subject and so cannot be ignored. The author tried to provide a readable translation of both the karikas and the Spanda-nirnaya commentary. Each karika (verse) is given both in Devanagari and Roman script, followed by its translation in English. This is followed by Ksemaraja's commentary in Sanskrit. Then follows an English translation of the commentary. After this, copious notes are added on important and technical words. Finally, a running exposition of each karika in the author's own words is given.
