Pacific Journal is an annual publication. Richard anticipates that it will take two years to produce this memorial volume. He has asked me to edit the volume, and to invite scholars from all of the fields in which Frits flourished to consider contributing to it. We hope to receive contributions that will cover the full range of Frits' scholarly interests. We will certainly seek advice from specialists in those disciplines which we ourselves are not competent to judge. Proposals can be sent to me at gthomgt at gmail.com or to Richard at rkpayne1 at mac.com Richard and I look forward to working with you on this tribute to our teacher and friend.

I am only aware of some scattered notions, e.g. Axel Michaels (?Der Hinduismus?, Munich: Beck, 1998) mentions the Aghor? ascetic Pagal?nanda who lived at the cremation ground close to the Pa?upatin?th temple in Deopatan. For Northern India, though, the situation is different: while in the accounts of the colonial administration the Aghor?s are stereotypically depicted as a public nuisance (cp. Balfour 1897, Barrow 1893, Crooke 1896, 1908), more recent research aimed at drawing a more differentiated picture. (American) Social Anthropologists worked mainly in Banaras on the tradition of B?b? K?n?r?m Aghor? and its social reforms under Avadh?t Bhagv?n R?m (which ? at least from hearsay ? had an impact on some Nepalese Aghor?s too). See e.g. > > Jonathan P. Parry. ?The Aghori Ascetics of Benares? In: Burghard, R. et al. (ed.): Indian Religion. London, 51-78, 1985. > Roxanne Gupta. The Politics of Heterodoxy and the Kinarami Ascetics of Banaras (unpubl.

Both still deserve to be properly studied. Some more details on K?n?r?m (and other Aghor? or Augha? of his or of related traditions) and his literary work can be gathered from Indian publications, for example, Dharmendra Brahmac?r? ??str?s Santmat k? Sarbha?g-Samprad?y (Pa?n?, 1953). Last but not least, over the last decades the K?n?r?m?s themselves have been publishing many pamphlets and books about their tradition. > > In case you read German, I could send you my unpublished MA paper ?Die Domestizierung der Aghor?s: K?n?r?m und G?t?val??

To my knowledge, not much has been done on the tantric texts related to aghoras?dhan?, which is only rarely referred to by the K?n?r?m?s themselves (an exception is R?mdul?r Si?ha et al. (ed.): Aghora granth?vali?. Collected Works of Aghora Manuscripts. Varanasi, 1986). As I did not touch the topic for several years I might not be up to date.

PARPOLA 1984)." (Unfortunately the reference PARPOLA 1984 seems to be missing.) I am puzzled by this reference. because the name Vasi??haku?i makes its appearance for the first time in a ca. 1398 CE inscription of the Viruppa??a U?aiy?r (SII 8, No. 286) which mentions "?ri Vasi??haku?i ??a Vidy?ra?yapurattu...". Earlier inscriptions only mention the brahmadeyam Ti??aiku?i aka Tirucci??ampalaccaturvetima?kalam (or its variants). The earlier inscriptions cover several C??a and P???iya inscriptions. It was probably Viruppa??a who renamed Ti??aku?i as Vidy?ra?yapuram in honor of the M?dhava-Vidy?ra?ya. For a long time I had assumed Vasis?t?hakut?i was a slightly earlier awkward attempt at Sanskritization of Tamil Ti??aiku?i. After all the earlier inscriptions could have rendered the name Vasis?t?hakut?i since these inscriptions used a mixture of both Tamil and Grantha script characters. I cannot think of any reason why the inscriptions would not have used the name Vasis?t?hakut?i. Can somebody with access to Bhavatr?ta's work tell me if he refers to Vasis?t?hakut?i and C??a kingdom in his work? Given that there was no C??a kingdom in the area at that time, is the ca. 700 date for Bhavatr?ta confirmed? Thanks in advance.

It is distributed under the Revised BSD Licence and can be downloaded from www.tustep.org. TUSTEP has a long tradition as a highly flexible, reliable, efficient suite of programs for humanities computing. It started in the early 70ies as a tool for supporting humanities projects at the University of Tbingen, relying on own funds of the University. From 1985 to 1989, a substantial grant from the Land Baden-Wrttemberg officially opened its distribution beyond the limits of the University and started its success as a highly appreciated research tool for many projects at about a hundred universities and academic institutions in the German speaking part of the world, represented since 1993 in the International TUSTEP User Group (ITUG). Reports on important projects relying on TUSTEP and a list of publications (includig lexicograpic works and critical editions) can be found on the tustep webpage. >???From 2003, academic partner institutions from Germany, Austria and Switzerland have contributed more than 300.000 EUR to support the availability and further development of TUSTEP according to the needs of research and of technical change in hardware and operating systems. One of the conditions of the respective consortium agreement was that, in the course of this cooperation, TUSTEP will be made available as an open source product. We are confident that TUSTEPs new status as an open source product will help, with the aid of a larger interested community, to overcome existing obstacles against its more widespread usability: presently, both command language and documentation are available in German only (work on an English version had to be stopped due to lacking funds in the early 90ies). TXSTEP, presently being developed in cooperation with Stuttgart Media University, offers a new XML-based user interface to the TUSTEP programs. Compared to the original TUSTEP commands, we see important advantages: - it will offer an up-to-date established syntax for scripting; - it will show the typical benefits of working with an XML editor, like content completion, highlighting, showing annotations, and, of course, verifying the code; - it will offer - to a certain degree - a self teaching environment by commenting on the scope of every step; - it will help to avoid many syntactical errors, even compared to the original TUSTEP scripting environment; - the syntax is in English, providing a more widespread usability than TUSTEP's German command language. At the TEI conference last year in W?rzburg, we presented a first prototype to an international audience. We look forward to DH2012 in Hamburg next week where, during the Poster Session, a more enhanced version which already contains most of TUSTEPs functions will be presented. A demonstration of TXSTEPs functionality will include tasks which can not easily be performed by existing XML tools. After the demo, you are invited to download a test version of TXSTEP to play with, to comment on it and to help make it a great and flexible tool for everyday - and complex - questions.

Parpola says, "In the introductory verses, Bhavatr?ta mentions his compassionate father M?t?datta, who was a trivedin. Da??in, who lived around A.D. 700 (see Kunjan Pillai 1954, 23), speaks in very much the same terms of his friend, the great Vedic scholar M?t?datta, whose father and son were both called Bhavar?ta (sic), the former a Kalpas?tra??k?k?ra from Kerala (Avantisundar?kath?, edited by Kunjan Pillai, 1954, p.13, II.21ff.)." It is obvious that the names indicated by Dandin are Bhavar?ta - grandfather M?t?datta -father, the friend of Da??in Bhavar?ta - son I have also looked at Asko Parpola's 1984 paper, "On the Jaimin?ya and V?dh?la Traditions of South India and the P???u/P???ava Problem." This paper provides more details regarding Bhavatr?ta, the commentator of Jaimin?ya ?rautas?tra. In this paper we find that Bhavatr?ta's father;s name was M?t?datta and his grandfather's name was Hasti?arman. Hasti?arman came to Kerala from the village of Vasi??haku?i. So we have the following geneology given by Bhavatr?ta. Hasti?arman - grandfather M?t?datta - father Bhavatr?ta - son I am surprised that scholars so readily identified Bhavar?ta, the grandfather, with Hasti?arman and Bhavar?ta, Hasti?arman's grandson, with Bhavatr?ta. They have assumed that Hasti?arman changed his name to Bhavatr?ta on moving to Kerala! Given the appearance of Vasi??haku?i only in a late 14th century inscription while all earlier inscriptions only call it Ti??aiku?i, I do not consider the identification of the author of the commentary on Jaimin?ya ?rautas?tra with a person mentioned by Da??in is justified. ((There is an inscription by Kum?ra Kampa?a of Vijayanagara of ca. 1373 CE which refers to the village as Ti??aiku?i and not as Vasi??haku?i.) Of course, if we find any inscription attesting to the occurrence of the name Vasi??aku?i earlier in the epigraphical record, then we will have to revise this conclusion. This suggests that any conclusions regarding the date of the movement of S?ma Vedic traditions or brahmins from the C??a country to Kerala based on Bhavatr?ta's commentary need to be revised despite whatever legends that might prevail among Namboothiri families regarding Bhavatr?ta.

Earlier inscriptions only mention the brahmadeyam Ti??aiku?i aka Tirucci??ampalaccaturvetima?kalam (or its variants). The earlier inscriptions cover several C??a and P???iya inscriptions. It was probably Viruppa??a who renamed Ti??aku?i as Vidy?ra?yapuram in honor of the M?dhava-Vidy?ra?ya. For a long time I had assumed Vasis?t?hakut?i was a slightly earlier awkward attempt at Sanskritization of Tamil Ti??aiku?i.

New Delhi [u.a.] : Routledge India, 2012. - 471 S. ISBN 978-0-415-52304-2 ? 65,00 Challenging the idea that rituals are static and emotions irrational, the volume explores the manifold qualities of emotions in ritual practices. Focusing explicitly on the relationship between emotions and rituals, it poses two central questions. First, how and to what extent do emotions shape rituals? Second, in what way are emotions ritualized in and beyond rituals? Strong emotions are generally considered to be more spontaneous and uncontrolled, whereas ritual behaviour is regarded as planned, formalized and stereotyped, and hence less emotional. However, as the volume demonstrates, rituals often reveal strong emotions among participants, are motivated by feelings, or are intended to generate them. The essays discuss the motivation for rituals; the healing function of emotions; the creation of new emotions through new media; the aspect of mimesis in the generation of feelings; individual, collective, and non-human emotions; the importance of trance and possession; staged emotions and emotions on stage; emotions in the context of martyrdom; emotions in Indian and Western dance traditions; emotions of love, sorrow, fear, aggression, and devotion. Furthermore, aesthetic and sensory dimensions, as well as emic concepts, of emotions in rituals are underscored as relevant in understanding social practice. [Verlagsinformation] Contents Preface 1.

They wish to co-author a book on the history of yoga, that they are calling *The Roots** of Yoga*. Rather than going to a traditional academic funding agency, they are appealing directly to the public. They hope that the global public interest in yoga will result in a strong enough response to fund the project. Both Mallinson and Singleton will probably be known to you already as dynamic academic authors with successful track-records of writing and publishing in a scholarly yet accessible way. They have made a promotional video about their project, with supporting written narrative and illustrations, and have submitted the appeal to the well-known funding service, Kickstarter.com. Their project can be viewed here: - http://www.kickstarter .com/projects/36604121/the-roots-of-yoga-a-sourcebook-from-the-indian-tra If you are interested in yoga, please have a look at their presentation. Please also tell your friends, students, colleagues, and random people in the street [?] I am personally watching this initiative with great interest. They have raised nearly $5000 in just a few days since launch at Kickstarter, but they are aiming at a larger sum that will give them the time and freedom to do the work over the next two years. I believe this kind of direct public appeal has real potential to help promote and support certain subjects within indology. But at the moment, we have everything to learn about how to proceed with such a funding bid and how to design an appeal to the public that is realistic and will work. Hats off to Jim and Mark for being willing to be pioneers in this. Dominik Wujastyk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The Dynamics of Transculturality" at Heidelberg University invites applications for four Independent Research Group Leaders. An Independent Research Group (IRG) / Junior Research Group (JRG) will be established in each of the four cluster research areas. Their role will be to further develop the transcultural and transdisciplinary research potential of the Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context"; to strengthen its capabilities to handle transcultural issues that cross cultural, geographic, linguistic and media borders, and to open career paths in transcultural studies for promising PhD and post-doctoral researchers. The project duration is three years with an option of a two year extension depending on outstanding results and a high-quality follow-up project. Each group consists of three to four members and is led by a Group Leader who is responsible for designing the group's project; helping to recruit first-class Ph.D. candidates for the group; supervising the group's Ph.D. candidates, and managing and monitoring the group's research activities as well as its interactions with other Cluster research. The performance of the IRG will be regularly evaluated. Applicants are expected to have completed their Ph.D.; have a strong publication record of high scholarly standard including a monograph with elements connected to the Cluster's research agenda; achieved international visibility within their field; and a proven track record of pursuing transcultural and transdisciplinary approaches. The Cluster's language of communication is English. To analyze religious aspects of exchanges across cultural, geographic, linguistic and media borders, the Cluster will establish one of the four IRG in "Islamic Studies". We are looking for a scholar with a research focus in Islam beyond the Arabic-speaking countries. The candidate should be able to read and write one modern language used by Muslims. Competence in a classical language (Arabic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish) would be desirable. To apply as an Independent Research Group Leader, please send a project outline (5 pages) for the Research Group (Download of form: www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de/en/application-JRGL) and provide a CV, a list and digital versions of your publications, a list of courses taught, and the names and contact data of two scholars who are familiar with your work.

In the sleepy old part of Mysore, there is frantic activity at dawn in one small alley, as Sampath and Jayalakshmi Kumar are busy at work. ?This might not pay, but it is something I have devoted my life to,? said Sampath Kumar, editor of Sudharma, as he stands in front of an old typesetting machine that is used to publish newspapers. Sudharma, which means ?good faith? in Sanskrit, is world?s only Sanskrit-language daily newspaper that reports on the affairs of the world. Four pages in all, about 12 inches long, the paper covers a wide range of issues like India?s economic policy, politics, sports and weather. Sudharma?s circulation is a little under 2,000 copies per day, which go to Sanskrit scholars and students across India and abroad. In 1970, when Mr. Kumar?s father, Varadaraja Iyengar, wanted to start the newspaper, he was met with resistance from various fronts. Not many people believed that Sanskrit, whose use declined in political and literary circuits in the 12th or the 13th century, had a vocabulary sufficient enough to cover the contemporary and complex activities and developments of each day. Mr. Iyengar took up this challenge by himself. ?He just wanted to keep a ?dead? language alive,? Mr. Kumar said. The question people were asking then was a natural one ? why attempt to keep a dead language alive? ?Sanskrit is an essential tool for anyone who wishes truly to understand India?s history over any longer period than the last two or three centuries,? said Professor J. L. Brockington, vice president of the International Association of Sanskrit Studies. ?A proper understanding of its past is vital for any culture to truly stay alive ? all the more so when, as is the case for India, that past stretches over so long a continuous period.? Mr. Iyengar , who died in 1990, believed that the language was dying because it was not flexible enough to adapt to the changing times, said Nagaraja Rao, who has been the editorial head of Sudharma since its start. ?And, therefore, we began simplifying Sanskrit,? he said. ?We started adapting the language to express the ideas of modern India, what is happening in the elections, change of governments, the accidents on the road, et cetera. We had to invent new words to express new ideas like train, bus, police, democracy et cetera.? Editing the paper takes Sampath Kumar more than five hours a day. He also translates news from other newspapers and tries to source articles from Sanskrit scholars from across the world. Mr. Kumar?s wife, Jayalakshmi, who was also a student of Sanskrit language, is the only other permanent employee. ?Enjoying what you do is more important,? she said, smiling. ?The money will follow on its own.? As for the money, the newspaper barely breaks even on most days, with revenue coming purely from subscribers ? Indian subscribers pay 400 rupees ($7.20) a year, while overseas subscribers pay $50 ? and donations, given largely by Sanskrit scholars. Sometimes the paper is solely funded by the Kumars, who produce the newspaper in the basement of their home. The office and the printing press together are smaller than a basketball court. ?The only reason we still continue to publish the paper despite all odds is because people tell us that they are extremely happy about the Language of Gods, or the Deva Bhasha, being brought to the people,? said Mr. Rao, ?That we are making it Manava Bhasha ? Language of the Common Man.? Robert Goldman, a professor of Sanskrit at the University of California, Berkeley, said, ?For the readers of Sudharma, having a daily journal of news and culture in Sanskrit is more a matter of pride and pleasure than of necessity. After all, no one actually needs to have his or her daily news reported in Sanskrit as there are many other sources of news in modern regional, national and international languages and, frankly, no one is truly monolingual in Sanskrit anymore.? For now, Sudharma?s greatest challenge is to find more readers. ?In our estimate, there are more than a 100,000 Sanskrit scholars in India and about a similar number abroad. But we have not been able to cross a few thousand in subscription,? laments Mr. Rao. The paper has begun a free online edition [http://sudharma.epapertoday.com/] that can be accessed without a registration. ?Sanskrit as one of the great classical languages of India is comparable to Greek and Latin for Europe,? said Mr. Rao. ?The genius of India saw its expression for more than 3,000 years in Sanskrit. And therefore, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Sanskrit will remain important.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I'm a first-year Phd candidate at The ANU, Australia. My focus is sociolinguistics. I'm interested in identifying Sanskritic nodes of power within a Sanskrit speaking community in southern Gujarat; the resultant valency patterns of truth/knowledge; the functions of Sanskrit during transactions of capital (economic-social-religious), and Sanskrit's relationship to processes of legitimation of authority, contestation of space and cultural reproduction. I'm also interested in the broader processes/discourses of interdependency between this community and the local region/state. I have just returned from the Indian High Commission in Canberra. Mr Kumar wants to give me a student research visa, however, he requires a Certificate of Affiliation from a UGC recognised college/university. I have had no luck obtaining such a certificate. All of my emails to academics at Indian universities have remained unanswered. I hope that someone on this list may be able to assist me? I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Dominik, two years ago I was invited to Oxford to a one-day meeting discussing this plan, other participants were mainly working on modern history. The collection they had at their use belongs to a Calcutta foundation and seemed to be rather big and many-sided. Literary journals in Bengali, some scholarly journals (JASB), yearly reports of various branches of administration, all mainly from 1900-1950. I have the list somewhere. I found the idea rather good: Although most of those publications probably are in the British Library, it would be very good to have them also in internet, as all of us cannot so easily drop in to BL. We emphasized that the material should be in a form that it can be easily and quickly used. But I haven't heard of its later development.
