The Philosophy Of Ramdas, James Weldon Plaugher
The Philosophy Of Ramdas, James Weldon Plaugher
University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations
The name "Ramdas," which will be used extensively throughout this paper to refer to the principal subject, is an example of the Indian custom of using only one name for great men. Usually it is the first name, or a name used after taking up "the new life." Another custom practiced is that of having the name carry religious connotations. In Ramdas' case, the first part, "Ram," stands for God, and the "das" stands for servant. Ramdas' name in his early life was Vittal Rao.

The Jazz Concert: Original and Enjoyable. Brubeck Quartet. By A Music Critic. For Delhi the entertainment offered it in the University Gardens on Tuesday night was as original as it was enjoyable. This was not in the set tradition of the classical concert for which the Delhi Music Society has now created a tradition and a demand. But is is preceisely the kind of thing that University students enjoy with a relish that does not attend a performance of classical music and that almost certainly reflects youth, high spirits, a wild primitive sense of rhythm and that response to mime-in-sound …

The Twain Meet in Music. Dave Brubeck, leader of the new progressive jazz school in America, is all concentration as he watches, and listens to, Halim Abdul Jaffar Khan play on the sitar in Bombay. Perhaps Brubeck's sensibility has been quickened by the similarity between jazz and the melodies created on the spur of the moment out of the sitar, for improvisation is the distinctive characteristic of great jazz music as well as great sitar music. Brubeck's modern jazz quartet will appear in Delhi on Tuesday.

THE TIMES OF INDIA APRIL 4 1958 Pianist Most Outstanding Brubeck Concert Captivating By Our Music Critic One needs to bear in mind the fact that the Bach family’s favourite diversion was the quodlibet on Sunday afternoon. I am not for a moment suggesting that the music-lover who considers himself an intellectual will need that excuse to be able to say that he enjoyed Thursday night’s recital by the Brubeck Quartet at the Eros Theatre. Nor am I suggesting that jazz must be regarded purely as a form of musical diversion and not an art form in its own right. …

Brubeck- A‘Must’ For Diehards Bombay Friday After prolonged and confusing contact with all kinds of pseudo-jazz Bombay had its first taste of the genuine article when the Dave Brubeck Quartet performed at the Eros theatre on Thursday evening. This outfit an acknowledge leader of the “progressive” school consists of instrumentalists who are not only virtuosos but imbued with a high degree of musicianship. It has long been the fashion to sneer at “jazz” and the ones who’ve done the sneering can’t always be blamed, considering the jarring ill-tuned assaults their ears have endured so often. But the Brubeck Quartet changed …

JAZZ AND THE LADIES By ROMESH MALHOTRA My darling Mama, Please forgive me for not writing for two whole days, but, really, I haven’t been a naughty girl. I only went to my first jazz concert (with Nunky darling) and it has taken me all this time to collect my wits. Please don’t feel alarmed, it was a most decorous ad respectable affair. In The Awful Films It was nothing like those scenes of jazz musicians (which so horrify people) in the awful Hollywood films-these were no uncouth, fat, oily music makers dripping with perspiration, sitting in a dense fog …

Zen came into its om as a Buddhist sect during the renaissance Chinese culture in the 7'ang Dynasty (approximately Seventh through Ninth Centuries, A. D.).

Ancient India was reported to produce excellent iron products that were prized in all parts of the world. Not only did she make swords, plow points, and other products necessary for the useful arts, but also ornaments such as ear and finger rings, and iron ornaments to beautify her buildings. India today, though to a lesser degree, is still carrying on the tradition of hand-made iron ornaments, by using the ancient method of smelting and processing. Indian wootz, a product similar to steel, was the best iron product made in olden times, and only India's failure to develop new and …
