Book excerpt: • A fish saves the world. • A horse flies across the sky. • A king discovers that his beloved wife is actually a frog. Hindu mythology is full of tales in which animals play important roles. Some animals are looked upon with fear and dread, while some are worshipped along with the gods. Some shape the fate of the world, others form everlasting bonds with humans. Where did the animals come from? From Vishnu’s avatars or Shiva’s asanas? How was a deer responsible for the events of the Ramayana? Why is Garuda the sworn enemy of the nagas? How did a mongoose teach Yudhishtira the true meaning of sacrifice? Devdutt Pattanaik answers all these questions and more in this exquisitely illustrated book, retelling numerous animal stories from ancient texts, with his trademark charm and wit.

Download or read book Religions of Early India written by Richard H. Davis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-11-26 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary multiplicity of religions and religious cultures in India, chronicled over two thousand years From its earliest recorded history, India was a place of remarkable and varied religious activity, ranging from elaborate sacrificial rituals and rigorous regimes of personal austerity to psycho-spiritual experimentation and utopian visions. In this ambitious and wide-ranging chronicle, Richard Davis offers a history of India’s myriad religious cultures that spans two thousand years, from 1300 BCE to 700 CE. India, Davis writes, was not only the birthplace of the religions we now know as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It was also the home of other, often unnamed religions that can be classified as “folk” or “popular” religions. Tracing these intertwined practices, Davis shows that the ardent and heterogeneous religious cultures of early India came to define and redefine themselves in relation to one another. Davis recounts this history through voices—voices recorded in hymns, poems, songs, didactic stories, epic narratives, scientific treatises, and theological discourses, as well as voices that speak through material remains, whether monumental sculptures or tiny terracotta figurines of nameless goddesses. He focuses on the long millennium often designated as “classical India,” which stretches from the time of the founding figures of Buddhism and Jainism during the sixth century BCE through the seventh-century-CE dynasties of the Chalukyas and the Pallavas in southern India. Throughout, he emphasizes encounter, interaction, debate, critique, and borrowing among religious communities within a shared, changing social and political reality. The voices and visions of early India’s religions, Davis shows us, are fascinating in their multiplicity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several scholars have presented their research and views on various aspects of the Pashupata cult. Still, it is a matter of regret that the history of the Pashupata cult is not present in the form of an independent script. No single book covers literary, religious, philosophical, historical development, inscriptions, and Lakulish statues comprehensively. Many questions based on the antiquity and foundation of the Pashupata cult have been unanswered to date. For example, the problem of the antiquity of the Pashupata cult before Lakulish and the historicity of Srikanth and Shvetacharya. Some other missing facts are the role of Srikanth and Shvetacharya in the emergence of the Pashupata cult, the relation of Vedic and non-Vedic branches and the spread of Pashupata after Shankaracharya. 'Rudra Pashupati: An Insight' has tried to answer most of the questions and presents an authentic history of the Pashupata cult.
