Application Of Metres For Sentimental Purposes In Sanskrit Literature: With References To Sanskrit Play Entitled Ratnāvalī Of King Śrī Harṣavardhana, Aroonwan Kongmebhol Dec 2025

Application Of Metres For Sentimental Purposes In Sanskrit Literature: With References To Sanskrit Play Entitled Ratnāvalī Of King Śrī Harṣavardhana, Aroonwan Kongmebhol

Journal of Letters

Currently, research on the relationship between metres (chandas) and literary sentiments (rasa) in classical Sanskrit poetry is quite meagre. This research aims to investigate the application of metres for sentimental purposes in Sanskrit play entitled Ratnāvalī of King Śrī Harṣa Vardhana. The research subject highlights selected thirteen stanzas, each of which the sentiment is apparent, from the Ratnāvalī. The methodology of the research consists of a textual translation from Sanskrit to Thai as well as an analysis on the literary sentiments, the schemes of metres, including properties of vowels and consonants used in the …


Sanskrit Educational Texts In Kawi Culture; The Case Of The "Kārakasaṁgraha", Zakariya Pamuji Aminullah, Yosephin Apriastuti Rahayu Oct 2025

Sanskrit Educational Texts In Kawi Culture; The Case Of The "Kārakasaṁgraha", Zakariya Pamuji Aminullah, Yosephin Apriastuti Rahayu

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

This article provides a revised critical edition and annotated translation of the Kārakasaṁgraha, a Sanskrit grammatical treatise as it has been preserved in Balinese manuscripts. The work is a synthesis of Indian grammatical traditions, notably including aspects of both Pāṇinian and Kātantra systems, which was probably recomposed in the premodern Indonesian archipelago. While its Sanskrit matrix is witness to local adaptation, the interspersed Old Javanese commentaries also show a striking reframing of grammatical discourse in ritual and cosmological idioms. Rather than merely clarifying rules of language, the glosses link grammatical analysis to devotional practice and calendrical systems, presaging a …


Christian-Hindu Dialogue And The Charism Of Unity: An Introduction, Cherylanne Menezes Feb 2020

Christian-Hindu Dialogue And The Charism Of Unity: An Introduction, Cherylanne Menezes

Claritas: Journal of Dialogue and Culture

This article provides an historical introduction to Chiara Lubich and the Focolare Movement’s work in interreligious dialogue with special attention to the Christian-Hindu dialogue. It introduces the various personalities and encounters, but also the spirit which informs this unique experience of dialogue. It makes particular use of Chiara Lubich’s diary entries in which she recounts her own discovery of dialogue as “one of the most beautiful expressions of love”. It introduces the reader to the innovative and fruitful experience of the Christian-Hindu symposiums organized between Hindu scholars and scholars associated with the Focolare Movement.

Is God Good? Aquinas, Śamkara, Abhinavagupta, Balinese Śaivism, And The Problematics Of The Argument From Evil, Lance E. Nelson Jan 2016

Is God Good? Aquinas, Śamkara, Abhinavagupta, Balinese Śaivism, And The Problematics Of The Argument From Evil, Lance E. Nelson

Journal of Hindu-Christian Studies

The problem of evil--as opposed to the argument from evil--is an ancient one, but it was not initially formulated as an argument in support of atheism. God's existence was taken for granted, and on that basis thinkers like Augustine engaged an serious intellectual struggle with deep questions about the divine raised by the presence of evil in the world: the unicity of God, the knowability of God, the possibility of Divine providence.⁴ The atheist argument from evil--especially as expounded of late by the New Atheists--tends to reduce this history to a caricature.


Is Slumdog Millionaire A Retelling Of The Ramayana?, William L. Blizek, Michele M. Desmarais Oct 2015

Is Slumdog Millionaire A Retelling Of The Ramayana?, William L. Blizek, Michele M. Desmarais

Journal of Religion & Film

Is a banner with a picture of Rama and Sita on it and the word, “Ramayana,” the only link between the film Slumdog Millionaire and the great Hindu epic? In this paper we explore elements in the film that correspond to elements in theRamayana. There is no one-to-one correlation, and some relationships between the two are, in fact, mirror images. However, there are enough correlations and influences to suggest that the film might be considered a retelling of theRamayana. We also acknowledge though that there are also features of the film that some would …

Valmiki And Hesse: Maya Through The Ages, Kevin Blankinship Jan 2007

Valmiki And Hesse: Maya Through The Ages, Kevin Blankinship

BYU Asian Studies Student Journal

The Vedic poet Valmiki could hardly have imagined that, with his discovery of shloka, or poetic meter, and the subsequent advent of literature as a separate aesthetic genre, Hindu notions of reality would lend expression of outrage to war-weary Germans thousands of years later. Or perhaps he did: Brahma’s benediction provided that, “so long as the mountains and rivers . . . stay on the face of the earth / So long will the story of Rama endure / So long will your fame remain.”1

Some Aboriginal Minnesota Names Borrowed From Sanskrit And Japanese, Donald B. Lawrence, Makarand Jawadekar Jan 1979

Some Aboriginal Minnesota Names Borrowed From Sanskrit And Japanese, Donald B. Lawrence, Makarand Jawadekar

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In some American aboriginal words, similarities in phonetics and meaning suggest borrowing, especially from Japanese, or some language(s) from which it is derived, and from Sanskrit, the mother tongue of India, or its Indo-European predecessor. This work suggests that exploration of American Indian names may have important application to human migrations, perhaps even in pre-Columbian time. Intensive research might reveal specific regions of origin of names and of the people who brought them, and may even suggest the time and mode of travel. These studies, concentrated on the Pacific coastal regions of the Western Hemisphere, point to the Middle East …
