This word appears 4 times it Patanjali's Yoga Sutras (1.3, 2.17, 2.20, 4.23) and denotes the "seer" or "witness" (usually identified in the secondary literature with the Samkhya concept of puruSa). If you want to explore this concept I'd recommend Edwin Bryant's translation and modern commentary, or T.S. Rukmani's translation of Patanjali that also includes translations of Vyasa's and Vijnanabhiksu's commentaries. Best, Andrew ____________________________________________ Andrew J.

I would point out that the situation in the U.S. is different, having become far more complicated in recent years due to the "Copyright Term Extension Act" passed in the U.S. That having been said, when I scanned my own copy of Bhattacharyya's Sadhanamala volumes, I did so with the intention of producing a searchable electronic copy of his critical editions. I had prototyped Devanagari OCR for a different project, and had been thinking to extend that process to these volumes. I have, in recent months, been thinking to revisit this -- i.e. producing a searchable electronic copy of the texts contained in those volumes -- and so would be curious to know from the List if anyone knows of any other projects underway to do this, to revisit the original texts that served as the basis of his editions, or any other related project so as to avoid any duplication of efforts.

It is listed as a "third edition (Reprint) 2009" (vol. 2, 2011). It is a good, clear copy on nice paper, well-bound, for Rs. 625 for the set. I have a copy that I am quite happy with, that I word search "old-school." I would encourage supporting the Oriental Institute by purchasing a print copy from them, if one can. The reprint edition reads (for what it's worth) "? All rights are reserved by the Publishers." Since there is a substantial introduction to volume two, it may not be (entirely) covered by the "critical edition" policy.

It depends on whether the publishers took the trouble to contact the author's literary heirs and negotiated a transfer of copyright. I'd be surprised if that happened. When publishers print a (C) statement on a book or article, it isn't always correct. It's happened to me at least twice that a publisher has asserted copyright over my work when they have no right to do so. First, with my book *Metarules of Paninian Grammar*. In that book, there are two copyright statements, mine and the publishers.? I gave no rights to the publisher, Forsten, and their (C) statement is legally invalid. I was unpleasantly surprised when I saw it, but the book was then published and there was nothing I could reasonably do. The second instance was my article "A Body of Knowledge" published by Brill in *Asian Medicine*. Brill was paid ?400 by UCL, my then employer, as a fee to make that article Open Access. They printed the article and put it on their websitewith an illegal "(C) Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2008" statement: I had never transferred my copyright to them. That (C) assertion of theirs is invalid. The very same paper is also distributed in PubMedCentral, with the correct Creative Commons license. You have to watch these publishers like a hawk. There's real money involved, quite apart from ethical issues. Dominik -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Edelmann, Hindu Theology, Section Editor CALL FOR PAPERS Issue Theme ? Tradition and Innovation How are innovative and original ideas justified in the Hindu traditions? There is a wide-ranging body of quality historical literature on the manner in which Hindu thinkers have reflected on the apparent tensions between scriptural sources of knowledge (e.g., the Veda, Upani?ads, S?tra texts, etc.), and how they have gone about generating new interpretations of them. Some have argued there was a general wariness of new-ness, and this was compounded by the fact that even original thinkers attempt to demonstrate that their views were rooted in ancient traditions rather than being their own creative output. Jayanta Bha??a (fl 850-910 ad), for instance, famously said in his Ny?yama?jar?: ?How can we discover any new fact or truth? One should consider novelty only in rephrasing the older truths of the ancients in modern terminology.? Nevertheless Hindu theologians and Indian philosophers more broadly produced a wide variety of innovations, even in the context of commentaries on their predecessors. This issue of the International Journal of Hindu Studies will explore some of the means by which Hindu thinkers presented new and original ideas. It facilitates arguments as to how constructive theology and philosophy might be done in the future. This issue also asks whether and to what extent historical examples of innovation set a precedent for contemporary constructive philosophical and theological discourse. -- *Jonathan B.

I have been using the software for sanskritists he developed for many years now. He also developed the INDOSKRIPT database interface, which those concerned with Indian epigraphy might know. (It is available here: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/falk/ ). With quite a lot of experience in OCR, I can assure you that there is nothing comparable to Indsenz's Devanagari OCR in the market. If you have a look at Indsenz's homepage, please also take a look at the SanskritTagger software, which is another tremendous tool being distributed as freeware by Oliver.

We are preparing a photographic atlas of Ayurvedic plants, the main author of which will be Jan Meulenbeld. We already have a good collection of whole plants and plant parts (roots, leaves, stems, seeds, et cetera), but we could use more material. So we are asking you for your assistance in finding more. We are looking for people who would want to visit a local trade shop in India for ayurvedic plants, and buy small but representative quantities of as many whole plants and plant parts as you can from a list that we will provide. The list contains a few hundred plant names in Hindi. You could actually just hand over the list to the shop owner, ask him what he has in stock, and buy small quantities of everything he has avaliable. Then you would send the whole package to our man in India who will ship everything to us. It is important to keep in mind that we do not ask you to botanically identify the plants or for any other expert judgement: we do not mind at all to receive plants that are misidentified or sold as an adulturant, because that would be useful information too. Of course we will reimburse all expenses incurred. And you will receive a free copy of the Ayurvedic plant atlas, which will appear in 2014! For more information about our plant atlases and handbooks, see www.plantatlas.eu . If you want to help us or want more info from us before you make a decision, please send an email to Roelf Barkhuis, info at barkhuis.nl . Hoping to hear from you soon, Jan Meulenbeld, Ren?

A useful feature of Oliver Hellwig's devanagari OCR is that you can SCAN the text in Devanagari and EXPORT it to your office applications in (searchable and editable) roman transcription. Exporting in Devanagari is of course also possible but for searching and editing you will have to face all problems of vowel "maatraas" and ligatures.

The programme includes two Ph.D. grants for the religious cultures of the Indian Subcontinent. The deadline for applications is 31 May 2013. The programme will extend over four years (with an evaluation after two years) and will enable the successful applicants to complete a doctoral thesis. The grant includes a bursary of 1.200.- ? net per month. Office space, a book fund, funding for research visits to libraries, for workshops and for the invitation of distinguished visiting scholars will also be provided. Applicants are expected to have obtained an excellent Master degree in Indian Cultural and Religious Studies. They are expected to engage in cultural comparisons with other forms of monasticism, their own projects focusing on monastic rules from the Indian Subcontinent. The project is not tied to any predetermined historical period. Queries and applications are to be addressed to: Prof. Dr. Gert Melville Forschungsstelle f?r Vergleichende Ordensgeschichte (FOVOG) TU Dresden 01062 Dresden email: gert.melville at tu-dresden.de Prof. Dr. Axel Michaels Director Excellence Cluster "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" Sprecher des SFB 619 ("Ritualdynamik") Universit?t Heidelberg, S?dasien-Institut, Im Neuenheimer Feld 330, D-69120 Heidelberg Tel. +49-6221-548917 / Fax +49-6221-546338 http://www.asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de www.ritualdynamik.uni-hd.de http://www.sai.uni-heidelberg.de/abt/IND/index.html Emails: sek-michaels at uni-heidelberg.de (SAI office) - Axel.Michaels at urz.uni-heidelberg.de (official and personal) michaels at asia-europe.uni-heidelberg.de (Cluster mail) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Of course metaphysics and epistemology are core areas of philosophy! No ranked philosophy department in the Anglophone world would be counted as such if it did not have strengths in those areas. Furthermore, one can do metaphysics in a historical mode (by working on a specific figure in the canon, say, Leibniz on modality) or, as is most often the case, by engaging contemporary debates on a given topic (causation, time, personal identity, etc.). So, far from being "old fashioned" or exclusively confined to so-called "continental" departments, metaphysics and ontology (the latter is really just a related subfield of metaphysics) are very much part of the mainstream curriculum in Anglophone philosophy departments.

(and, by extension, atlantic ?other-continental?) ? while, by inference, the portion of the ?continent? must be non-analytical, i. e. non-rational mumbo-jumbo) was brought up in the first place, which held the ground at least for the better part of the second half of the XX century.

Of course metaphysics and epistemology are core areas of philosophy! No ranked philosophy department in the Anglophone world would be counted as such if it did not have strengths in those areas. Furthermore, one can do metaphysics in a historical mode (by working on a specific figure in the canon, say, Leibniz on modality) or, as is most often the case, by engaging contemporary debates on a given topic (causation, time, personal identity, etc.). So, far from being "old fashioned" or exclusively confined to so-called "continental" departments, metaphysics and ontology (the latter is really just a related subfield of metaphysics) are very much part of the mainstream curriculum in Anglophone philosophy departments.

"Parts used: fruits Properties and uses: The fruits are sweet, laxative, refrigerant, appetising, stomachic (sic!) digestive and tonic.

Having said that, the members of a compound are treated within P??ini's grammar as full pada-s or inflected words, where the inflections simply get deleted, and new inflections added to the compound as a whole. Therefore, the members of a compound as well as independent inflected words of a sentence have the same status as pada-s, and hence the same sandhi rules apply to them. The practice of writing Avagraha is not seen consistently in the manuscripts and printed texts and it is generally not shown within a compound, but the actual sandhis are the same.

It meant ?separation? ?that is to say it was not necessarily a sandhi-phenomenon and had one mora duration. The last component of a compound (barring the dvandva) was separated with avagraha in padap??ha and of two words in abhinihita sandhi even outside the padap??ha. ? Unlike in the Vedas the avagraha has no phonetic value or linguistic function in Classical Sanskrit where it is a graphic convention, an apostrophe, to mark the coalescing of the initial a- of a word into the final e- of the preceding word in abhinihita sandhi. Thus, it is understood as a sandhi rule in Cl. Sanskrit which it originally was not. And, as far as I know, there is no rule in grammar for its use. P??ini uses the word avagraha in its Vedic sense. I have no manuscript of the G?t? with me at present. Interested persons may check the reading mama tejo??asambhavam G?t? 10.41 from manuscripts. The printed editions with me have the avagraha. But, unfortunately, faithful presentation of manuscript reading is not a strong point of many editors. The critical apparatus of the BORI Edition (ed. Edgerton) too may be consulted.

The B?hacchabdaratna is clearly written by Hari D?k?ita who is the grandson of Bha??oji D?k?ita, the son of V?re?vara, calling himself Vaire?vari. There is another work, the Brahmas?trav?tti authored by Hari D?k?ita (published in the Anandashrama Sanskrit Series, no. 82), and this Hari D?k?ita calls himself Lak?m?naraharis?ris?nu, his work dated to ?aka 1658. On the face of it, these are two different Hari D?k?itas, and yet I have noted that the Brahmas?trav?tti seems to follow Bha??oji D?k?ita's Tattvakaustubha in criticizing the Dvaita Ved?nta of Madhva and (p. 162) refers to the Tattvakaustubha of Bha??oji D?k?ita: *vistaras tu tattvakaustubhe dra??avya?. *I am wondering about the relationship of these two Hari D?k?itas. I will appreciate if anyone has any suggestions or references to any publications that deal with this question. Madhav M.

Remembered by many academics and progressives as a failure of Hindu nationalist textbook revisions, this event also offered Hindu Americans the opportunity to take their place in a process of claim-making forged by other American ethnic communities before them. This talk focuses on the civic engagement practiced by Hindu Americans who supported the revisions as well as the conflicting role played by California's multicultural education policies, both encouraging the Hindu textbook campaign and limiting its successes. Joy Johnson is a Master's candidate in the History Department of UW -- Madison. Her studies in South Asian history, under the tutelage of Dr. Sana Aiyar, have led to her study of South Asians in the United States. She also received a BA in Social Studies Secondary Education and taught high school world history in Kentucky from 2006-09.

While this gentle ribbing about 'culture shock' has amused some friends, I think Erin Epperson has provided a very positive contribution to not "making little jhok" but tackling an important issue. I have cross-posted this from RISA-L, and think it would be of real interest and utility to all scholars, women and men, heading off to South Asia. While one item refers to 'white women'--I suspect that in many contexts, the skin of a woman is irrelevant to predators, of whom there are many. FFC -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Erin H. Epperson I am writing to share with you a resource I hope will be helpful for your students, especially female students traveling to South Asia for the first time. By way of introduction, I am a Ph.D. Candidate from the University of Chicago writing about the role Buddhism played in the transmission and translation of Sanskrit literature into Tibetan. I have visited India and Nepal several times for research and language study and recently spent 6 months in India for my dissertation research. In response to a shared experience of harassment with two other women while riding in an auto-rickshaw, I decided to start a blog addressing harassment issues for female travelers: (http://travelingwhilefemale.blogspot.com/ [1]) The purpose of this blog I summarized in my first entry : I created this blog as a public resource for female travelers concerned with issues of sexual harassment while travelling, in particular in South Asian countries. ... despite this recurring issue, most female travelers, including myself, prefer to minimize their experiences, shrugging it off as "no big deal" or else trying to block more painful experiences from their memory. This is not meant to scare women-- this is intended to be a resource for women wanting to talk through and share their experiences. I believe fundamentally that it is important for women to share these stories and talk through their experiences, no matter how large or small. Sexual harassment and sometimes sexual assault are realities, even while traveling, and there are too few resources available for women trying to cope with cross-cultural issues. I wrote 10 entries over the 6 months that I was in India. Some topics include: "Sexual Harassment of White women in India" ,? A review/critique of "Travel guidebooks and blogs on sexual harassment" , Advice regarding ?Openness to Travel and Trusting our Instincts , An analysis of media coverage of rapes including the West Bengal rapes in November and the so-called "Delhi gang-rape" , and a post attempting to give a response to a question I often receive from female travelers in India: "Why should women come/return to India" ? (given risk of harassment or worse). I started this blog with the idea that it could be a public resource for female travelers, especially for students. It was suggested I share this blog with this list in case anyone might find it of use for themselves or for their students. If anyone has any questions, feel free to contact me at eheppe at uchicago.edu Sincerely, Erin Epperson Erin Epperson PhD Candidate, SALC University of Chicago eheppe at uchicago.edu ****************************************************************** To post to H-ASIA simply send your message to: For holidays or short absences send post to: with message: SET H-ASIA NOMAIL Upon return, send post with message SET H-ASIA MAIL H-ASIA WEB HOMEPAGE URL: http://h-net.msu.edu/~asia/ [7] -- -- Ute H?sken Professor of Sanskrit Department of Culture Studies and Oriental Languages University of Oslo Faculty of Humanities P.O.

Hari D?k?ita, the author of the Brahmas?trav?tti is the son of Lak?m?n?si?ha who composed the Advaitic commentary ?bhoga on Kalpataru, a commentary on V?caspatimi?ra's Bh?mat?, and this Lak?m?n?si?ha is the son of Kau??abha??a, who is the nephew of Bha??oji D?k?ita. So, one Hari D?k?ita is the author of the B?hacchabdaratna, and the grandson of Bha??oji D?k?ita, while the other Hari D?k?ita is the great-grandson of Bha??oji D?k?ita's brother Ra?gojibha??a. No wonder that both Hari D?k?itas show respect to Bha??oji D?k?ita.
