Download or read book Shilappadikaram written by Iḷaṅkōvaṭikaḷ and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1965 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The peerless young Kovalan leaves his loyal wife Kannaki for the courtesan Madhavi, and though he returns to her, he still meets his death because of her ill-omened ankle bracelet. The Shilappadikaram has been called an epic and even a novel, but it is also a book of general education. Adigal packed his story with information: history merging into myth, religious rites, caste customs, military lore, descriptions of city and country life. And four Cantos are little anthologies of the poetry of the period (seashore and mountain songs, hunters and milkmaid s song). Thus the story gives us a vivid picture of early Indian life in all its aspects.
Download or read book Passions of the Tongue written by Sumathi Ramaswamy and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would love for their language lead several men in southern India to burn themselves alive in its name? Passions of the Tongue analyzes the discourses of love, labor, and life that transformed Tamil into an object of such passionate attachment, producing in the process one of modern India's most intense movements for linguistic revival and separatism. Sumathi Ramaswamy suggests that these discourses cannot be contained within a singular metanarrative of linguistic nationalism and instead proposes a new analytic, "language devotion." She uses this concept to track the many ways in which Tamil was imagined by its speakers and connects these multiple imaginings to their experience of colonial and post-colonial modernity. Focusing in particular on the transformation of the language into a goddess, mother, and maiden, Ramaswamy explores the pious, filial, and erotic aspects of Tamil devotion. She considers why, as its speakers sought political and social empowerment, metaphors of motherhood eventually came to dominate representations of the language.

Download or read book Valmiki s Ramayana written by and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of India’s greatest epics, the Ramayana pervades the country’s moral and cultural consciousness. For generations it has served as a bedtime story for Indian children, while at the same time engaging the interest of philosophers and theologians. Believed to have been composed by Valmiki sometime between the eighth and sixth centuries BCE, the Ramayana tells the tragic and magical story of Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, an incarnation of Lord Visnu, born to rid the earth of the terrible demon Ravana. An idealized heroic tale ending with the inevitable triumph of good over evil, the Ramayana is also an intensely personal story of family relationships, love and loss, duty and honor, of harem intrigue, petty jealousies, and destructive ambitions. All this played out in a universe populated by larger-than-life humans, gods and celestial beings, wondrous animals and terrifying demons. With her magnificent translation and superb introduction, Arshia Sattar has successfully bridged both time and space to bring this ancient classic to modern English readers.
Download or read book Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga Waves of Ecstatic Moods in Navadvipa written by Diptiman Gaurahari das and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga has been composed by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, a renowned Gaudiya Vaishnava acharya, whose contribution to the Brahma-Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya is invaluable. At a time when the science of pure devotional service (Bhakti) had almost become lost due to the cultural and religious chauvinism of the ruling British, and the essence of Vaishnavism largely discredited due to the perverted actions and lifestyles of a few non bonafide Vaishnava sects, Srila Bhaktivinoda was largely responsible for rescuing and unearthing the timeless teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. In Fact, it was he who, after conducting painstaking research, had rediscovered the long lost birthsite of Sri Gaurasundara at Yogpeeth. Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura was not only a magistrate but also a renowned and recognized scholar in his days, with vast knowledge in english,bengali,hindi,oriya and sanskrit.He was also a member of the royal asiatic society of London. He was instrumental in unearthing several ancient manuscripts like Chaitanya-upanishad (a portion of Atharva Veda) , Sri Krishna Vijaya, etc. We are exceedingly honored and feel ourselves blessed to have been able to translate this book in English and present it 'as it is' for the pleasure of the devotees. The Book is comprehensive with attractive pictures and contains an easy how-to-reach to the respective destinations.Sri Navadvipa Bhava Taranga talks in detail about the various exalted sites of Navadvipa, some of which are visible to the ordinary eye and some which are not. For example Srila Bhaktivinoda talks about an enchanting garden in this book, where Lord Gauranga manifests His eternal pastimes. This garden, which he refers to as 'Ishodyan' is invisible to ordinary vision. He goes onto describe Ishodyan as replete with wonderful trees and chirping birds, who constantly sing the glories of Lord Gauranga. There is also a beautiful lake and a temple which adorns this transcendental garden. The temple is bedecked with gold, diamonds, blue and yellow sapphires. However to the material vision, the place where this garden is located, seems to be a waste land overgrown with thorns. Several other exalted sites of Navadvipa have been mentioned in this book, which are of paramount importance to a sincere spiritual seeker. Places like Arka Tila (where the sun god is eternally engaged in worshiping Lord Gauranga), Jahnu Muni's ashrama (only an ancient tree remains at this place), Vidyanagara (the seat of all learning), Yogpeeth (birthplace of Lord Gauranga), Bharadvaja tila (where Bharadvaja muni meditated upon Gauranga), Panchaveni, Panchavakra Shiva Tola, Poramatola, Nrsimhapalli (where Lord Nrsimhadeva took rest after killing Hiranyakashipu), Suvarna vihara, Vishrama-sthala (where the devotees rested after performing Kirtana), Naimisharanya (where the sages received darsana of Lord Gauranga), etc are replete with causeless mercy and are witness to enchanting pastimes of the Lord and His eternal associates. In fact the scriptures state unambiguously that the pastimes of Lord Gauranga are eternally taking place in this sacred abode of Navadbvipa and is visible even today to those who are fortunate. Sri Narottama das Thakura sings in one of his bhajans that Navadvipa is Chintamani dham (completely spiritual) and is full of wish-fulfilling trees. Anyone who takes shelter of this abode, achieves the supreme perfection of his spiritual life. Navadvipa is the embodiment of all Tirthas, who reside and render service to this sacred abode. Navadvipa has been glorified as 'sarva Dhama sar' or the essence of all the holy abodes. What one attains by travelling to all the holy places is attained just by remembering the transcendental abode of Navadvipa. Srila Bhaktivinoda assures that anyone who reads this book with faith and devotion, shall be accepted amongst the most intimate associates of Sri Gaurahari.

Download or read book Songs of Mirabai written by MIRABAI. and published by . This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erotic passion, rebellion, spiritual thirst, and a strong hint of early feminism, --these are what make Mirabai's songs irrepressible five centuries after she sang them. Mirabai (16th century India) is one of the world's celebrated and renowned poets. Her life embedded in legend, her poems go straight to the heart. She was devoted to a god she called Shyam, "the Dark One," and in lyric after lyric pursues her love with fervor. Every singer of note in India knows her songs and sings them; in the West her reputation is second only to Kabir among India's poets. What makes Mirabai remarkable is the way she weds religious devotion with India's old tradition of love song. These versions have been anthologized in India and the USA, worked into performances by singers and theater groups in the USA and Europe, and present Mirabai without embellishment. An introduction sets the historical context; a bibliography points towards further reading.
