Download or read book Greater Magadha written by Johannes Bronkhorst and published by Motilal Banarsidass. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greater Magadha, roughly the eastern part of the Gangetic plain of northern India, has so far been looked upon as deeply indebted to Brahmanical culture. Religions such as Buddhism and Jainism are thought of as derived, in one way or another, from Vedic religion. This belief is defective in various respects. The book argues for the importance and independence of Greater Magadha as a cultural area until a date close to the beginning of the Common Era. In order to correct the incorrect notions, two types of questions are dealt with: questions pertaining to cultural and religious dependencies, and questions relating to chronology. As a result a modified picture arises that also has a bearing on the further development of Indian culture. The book is arranged in five parts. Part-I describes cultural features of Greater Magadha, under which there are three chapters-The Fundamental Spiritual Ideology, Other Features and Conclusions. Part-II: Brahmanism vis-a-vis Rebirth and Karmic Retribution has three sections- Hesitantly Accepted, Rebirth and Karmic Retribution Ignored or Rejected, and Urban Brahmins. Under section one there are chapters on„ Dharma Sutra, a portion from the Mahabharata and the early Upanisads. Section two features chapters on Rebirth and Karmic Retribution Ignored and Rebirth and Karmic Retribution Rejected. Section three is on urban Brahmins. Part-III dwells on the chronological issues, - linguistic consideration, the Vedic texts known to the early Sanskrit grammarians, to the early Buddhists, some indications in late-Vedic literature, urban versus rural culture, etc. Part-IV is Conclusion, while Part V has useful appendices-The antiquity of the Vedanta philosophy, a Carvaka in the Mahabharata, Vedic texts known to panini, the form of the Rgveda known to Panini, Vedic texts known to Patanjali, Brahmins in the Buddhist canon, Brahmanism in Gandhara and surrounding and Carvakas and the Sabarabhasya

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first English translation of the Asokavadana text, the Sanskrit version of the legend of King Asoka, first written in the second century A.D. Emperor of India during the third century B.C. and one of the most important rulers in the history of Buddhism. Asoka has hitherto been studied in the West primarily from his edicts and rock inscriptions in many parts of the Indian subcontinent. Through an extensive critical essay and a fluid translation, John Strong examines the importance of the Asoka of the legends for our overall understanding of Buddhism. Professor Strong contrasts the text with the Pali traditions about Kind Asoka and discusses the Buddhist view of kingship, the relationship of the state and the Buddhist community, the king s role in relating his kingdom to the person of the Buddha, and the connection between merit making, cosmology, and Buddhist doctrine. An appendix provides summaries of other stories about Asoka.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India, a country of enormous historical importance as it is, historical writings, in the modern sense of historiography, started only with Kalhana (12th cent), the celebrated author of Rajatarangini. Since then a considerable number of works serving the purpose of history have been written in various languages, e.g. Sanskrit, Persian, Hindi, etc. From the middle of the nineteenth century, along with the emergence of modern India, an ardent desire to know the glorious past of the motherland was felt and within a few decades rose a school of Indian scholar who wrote valuable monographs on diverse aspects of ancient Indian history and civilization. The present work is an elegant product of this school, a bold step to the abovementioned direction. It is a collection of a series of six lectures delivered at the Patna University in 1922.It deals with Magadha, major part of present Bihar, most important centre of cultural, political and socio-economic mobilizations in ancient and medieval India. It played a major role in the socio-political and cultural life of the rest of the country. Glories of Magadha virtually presents the glories of the then India. In spite of his strong nationalistic impulses, the learned author has taken great pain t restrain his emotions which otherwise might have desisted him from the responsibility of a historian. He has supported his view with all available documents and at some places has carried on scholarly polemics. The work elaborately present : Magadha as gleaned fron the Vedas, Puranas, Buddhists and Jaina classics, accounts of the Greek and Chinese travelers; pre-Aryan civilization in Mithila; Brahmanism Buddhuism, Jainism and Islam in Magadha; rule of the dynasties like Nandas, mauryas, Sungas, Kanvas, Andhras, Kusanas, Guptas and Palas. Muslim invasion and falll of Magadha; its capitals: Vaisalt, Rajagrha and Pataliputra; analysis of the edicts of Asoka; universities of Nalanda Vikramasila and Odantapura. Apart from the historical importance, it will be of great use to the scholars and average students engaged in the study of the educational system in ancient and medieval India. The work is profusely illustrated and contains useful bibliography.
