This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the main topics of ancient Sanskrit literature and medieval literature from different parts of India are Rama and Krishna oriented themes. From Valmiki Ramayana in Sanskrit to Ramayana in different vernacular languages of Tamil, Telgu, Malayalam, Kannada, Assamese, Gujarati, Bengali, Odishi, Marathi and Hindi, all have proceeded from the rudimentary stage of local language literature to become Mahakavyas in their respective areas and reached every nook and corners of the region, galvanizing the minds and hearts of the populace. Although they have been composed in different periods and the poets and composers have a different style of presentation of their own, they acquired the status of original spokespersons of Ramayana in their respective regions. It is a fact that Indian languages and literature are enriched by the form, content, ideas and ideologies of the epics of yesteryears. After Rama became accepted as an incarnation of Vishnu and after the popularization of devotion of Rama in the fourteenth century, all literature was intertwined in the current of a feeling of love and devotion. This trend has been manifested in the work of Balarama Dasa, one of the doyens of litterateurs of medieval Odisha. He equated Rama with Lord Jagannath and named his version of Ramayana as Jagamohana Ramayana itself. He belonged to a group of litterateurs who were famous in the history of Odisha as Panchasakhas and were known for their sublimity, egalitarianism and intellectualism. It is always important to revisit the works of literature of different periods to find out about the state of mind of those writers and composers who generated their literary marvels to establish their views emphatically with a reformative approach. In Odisha, the Panchasakhas were the champions of liberty, fraternity and equality. Therefore, it is even more important to analyse their works again to escalate the idea of free thought and expression and rescue the gamut of their opinions and ideas from intellectual hibernation.

Book excerpt: The Apocalypse of Enoch and Bhuśunda The Apocalypse of Enoch and Bhuśunda challenges the underlying assumptions of the classical roots of civilization by restoring the original context of creation mythology. In this second volume of A Chronology of the Primeval Gods and the Western Sunrise, ancient myths from multiple geographies are correlated to spikes in cosmic rays over the past 120,000 years – as documented in ice core data. The chronology and content of these myths tell us that the primary forces behind these cataclysms were the most ancient gods - hyper-nova at the Galactic Center associated with Sgr A*(The Dragon), Sgr West (The Beast) and Sgr East (Hiranyâksha and Hiranyakas'ipu), with secondary supernova seen as the birth of new, destructive gods. Ancient myth has documented the cataclysmic destruction of the world on at least twenty occasions with four major geo-polar migrations, which has resulted in a shift of the earth’s equator on at least one occasion. Multiple myths are shown to represent a view of the sky that can only be seen from the Antarctic region. Multiple versions of the myths of Orion are analyzed, showing clear linkages between the Vedic myth of Trisanku, the Book of Genesis, Senmut's Tomb, and the myths of Prajāpati Daksa representing the oldest version of the Orion myth – older than Trishanku and Genesis by 20,000 years! The stunning conclusion explains how the “Watchers” of Enoch were the Vedic descendants of Ila and Iksvaku. These descendants of the seventh Manu had been observing and recording the stars as a source of cataclysm for at least 15,000 years prior to Enoch, thus allowing Enoch to prophesize a ‘new heaven.’ That prophecy became the foundation for St John’s Book of Revelations, which is shown to be a description of a series of cataclysms attributed to Sgr West. The book offers a new theory for explaining geo-polar migration. That theory suggests small shifts in the location of the earth’s center of gravity underlie each migration, but that there are multiple causes for the shifts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laxmi is the Goddess of riches and luxuries, and worshipped throughout India, especially in the eastern region, in the Agrahayana month (November – December) coinciding with paddy harvesting. She is renowned for Her love for equality; for the downtrodden, for the outcastes, who worship Her with devotion, and abide by the code of social conduct. Once Jagannatha drives Her out of the Great Temple as She visited a Chandal home. Laxmi retaliates and establishes the might and mien of women. The simple short verse in Odia by 16th century Odia poet, Balarama Dasa, has been beautifully translated in lucid, blank verse. The dramatical representation is inserted anew, though the original is not twisted or tampered with. The author is adept in translation from English to Odia and vice versa. He has rendered “Tales and stories by Maharshi Raman” by Joana Greenblatt in Odia entitled, “Maharshi Raman Kathita Galpamala “, which has been published by us. Its lucid prose is praiseworthy and persuades the reader to know more and more about the great godly person Maharshi Raman. This transcreation with a briefing about the poet Balarama Dasa, his age and friends etc makes the translation readable and beautiful. Though the translator does not claim any originality about the biography of the poet, his times and literary trend, his traits and characteristics as a saint and poet; the descriptions and details on this score is borrowed from established critics and literary historians. The legends and folktales concerning the saint and devotee Balarama Dasa are, obviously, hearsay yet believed by the Odias as true.

Book Synopsis The Essays of Chitta Ranjan Das on Literature, Culture, and Society by : Ananta Kumar Giri
Download or read book The Essays of Chitta Ranjan Das on Literature, Culture, and Society written by Ananta Kumar Giri and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the essays of Chitta Ranjan Das (1923-2011), a creative experimenter and writer, on literature, culture, life and the human condition. It presents a different vision and version of the post-colonial imagination and social and literary criticism which is rooted in soil, soul and cosmos. While a majority of post-colonial discourse is still predominantly metropolitan, giving us very little discussion on creative endeavours in different language spaces of India and the world, this book presents radical new pathways and creative collaborations which break conventional boundaries between the periphery and the centre, literature and life, mother languages and metropolitan languages, and East and West. It offers a new archaeology of knowledge as a regenerative archaeology of life where knowledge, action and devotion come together for new explorations and transformations. It broadens and deepens our universe of discourse on literature, philosophy and world transformations, and is a monumental contribution to alternative imagination and cosmopolitan experimentation.

Book excerpt: The temple town of Puri in Orissa, one of the four most sacred sites of Hindus, has been a major centre of Vaishnavism for almost a millennium. A deity of great antiquity, earlier known as Purushottama and Nilamadhava, Sri Jagannatha, the presiding deity of its main temple, considered as the creator of incarnations and a manifestation of the supreme divinity is identified with Krishna and Vishnu. His palatial temple, Srimandira, was built in the twelfth century and is one of the finest specimens of the Kalinga style of architecture. The elevated grounds on which the temple stands is known as Blue Hill, Blue Region and Blue Mountain, also used as popular appellations of Jagannatha. He represents a new consciousness, the essence of which is simple surrender and the triumph of intimate devotion. Numerous saint poets have poured out their most intimate personal communication to their Dark Darling of the Blue Hill in enchanting lyrical compositions. These songs, hymns to Jagannatha have been sung by devotees for ages and are part of a living tradition even today. Blue Hill, Hymns to Lord Jagannatha includes several of the most popular songs composed over twelve centuries. Subas Pani, who has specialised in translating lyrical compositions in Sanskrit and Oriya, captures the flavour of the original musical compositions in a simple, lyrical style in English verse, besides providing a deep insight into the cultural content with a rich tradition of myths, legends, history, rites, rituals and colourful festivals. A comprehensive introduction and detailed notes are included with the translations.

Download or read book Lakshmi Purana written by Balaram Das and published by Black Eagle Books. This book was released on 2021-12-04 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lakshmi Purana, as the title explains, is the story of goddess Lakshmi in simple narrative verses. It is recited in every household of Odisha in the Hindu month of Margashira on all the four Thursdays. In most households, this text is recited throughout the year, every Thursday. As a creative piece of work, the text stands on its own aesthetic as well as sociological strength. The text draws on the myths and folklore of the Jagannath temple of Puri and has no correspondence in the Sanskrit Puranic tradition. Besides its manifestly feminist orientation, the text also carries a brief against human evils such as untouchability and arrogance of the upper class. Foreword is written by eminent Odia author Hrushikesh Panda.

Book excerpt: Little has so far been written on the "Prataparudradeva, the last great suryavamsi king of Orissa". For the first time in this work attempt has been made to throw new light on this field and thereby filling up a very major gap in the study of Orissan History. Salient Features (i) This illuminating volume leads to fascinating revelations about the life and activities of the great king Prataparudradeva. (ii) It constitutes a unique asset in understanding how Prataparudradeva who more or less through out his life had a fight and fight against adversaries from the North from the South and from the West with both Hindu and Muslim powers and proved himself as a great emperor of Orissa. Not only did he show his persistence to fight out the enemy but also in diplomatic skill he was found well conversant. (iii) In the field of religion his contribution was on less. He was a respector of all the religions and was tolerant to all religious sect. The most remarkable event in the field of religion during his rule was steady growth of Oriya Vaishnavism as well as Goudiya Vaishnavism under his patronage. (iv) Economic life of Orissa received new turn during his rule. He allowed the Portuguese trades to establish a settlement at Pipli in Balasore District (Orissa). The industries of Orissa got a boost because of the Portuguese demand. (v) He himself was a poet and great patronised of literature. His court was adorned with galaxy of very important poets. In his region the contributions of Panchasakha to the Oriya Literature paved the way for further prosperity in later period. The Panchasakha’s also initiated a reformist movement which sought to remove social barriers and minimized the existing social problem of inequality between man and man. (vi) He was strong and efficient administrator. The key note of his administrative system was to bring peace and prosperity of the people. (vii) If people suffered from the baneful effect of natural calamities life famine and draught he war alert to do his best for welfare of the suffering mass. Hope this book from a variety of stand points will be popular for the scholars, students and the public.
