Practical VedantaMovement

Prasthanatraya Widened toìPanch-Shastraî

SATYA P. AGARWAL & URMILA AGARWAL

In Collaboration withWILL TUTTLE

While performing the last rites of his mother (in the face of opposition from other

Vedantins), Shankaracharya must have realizedthat some of the Vedantic messages were notìpracticalî. In 1823, Rammohun Roy was deeplyhurt to see Vedantic scholars promotingìescapismî. In 1896, Swami Vivekananda gavetalks on his vision of Practical Vedanta, to fulfilwhich he established, in 1897, RamakrishnaMission as a non-political organization. Thescope of Practical Vedanta was widened in the20th century, by the contributions of Tilak-Aurobindo-Tagore-Gandhi. The whole world

admired this greatVedantic movement.In the beginning ofthe 21st century,Western scholars andactivists (drawinginspiration fromVedanta and otherphilosophies) havetaken the lead infurther updating ofVedanta, by attachinghigh priority to thewelfare of non-human

beings. This pioneering book studies, not onlythese five contributions, but also three laterones, the most recent being the campaign forìLiving Vedantaî (presented by Will Tuttle in hisown words). Finally, specific suggestions are putforward to answer the question: What doesPractical Vedanta mean today?


Varaha Mihiraís

Brihat JatakaTranslated by

BANGALORE SURYANARAIN RAO

Edited byBANGALORE VENKATA RAMAN

Varaha Mihiraís Brihat Jataka from timeimmemorial has been considered as the

standard textbook on Astrology. Thecommentaries by Bhattotpala have madeBrihat Jataka immortal and a standard work.

The Englishtranslation of VarahaMihiraís Brihat Jatakais a monumental workin completing whichthe difficulties intranslating a beauti-ful, technical andsuggestive work inSanskrit had to besurmounted by hardlabour, profound re-search and want of adequate expressions.

There are several translations of thismatchless book into English available in themarket. But Prof. Raoís translation has beenacclaimed not only as authentic, based mainlyon the commentaries of Bhattopala but alsoas embodying in the notes, Prof. Raoís vastpractical experience in the field of astrology.

It is hoped that this translation, out ofprint for a long time, will supply a long-feltwant to the vast number of astrological stu-dents and savants, for an authoritative pre-sentation of Varaha Mihiraís treatise in simpleEnglish.

culmination of theVedas.

delayed, and now so imperative.

The Sanskrit LanguageT. BURROW

The Sanskrit Language presents a systematicand comprehensive historical account of

the developments in phonology andmorphology. This is the only book in Englishwhich treats the structure of the Sanskritlanguage in its relation to the other Indo-European languages and throws light on thesignificance of the discovery of Sanskrit. It isthis discovery that contributed to the studyof the comparative philology of the Indo-European languages and eventually thewhole science of modern linguistics. Besidesdrawing on the works of Brugmann andWackernagel, Professor Burrow incorporatesin this book material from Hittite and takinginto account various verbal constructions as

found in Hittite, herelates the perfectform of Sanskrit toit. The profoundinfluence that theDravidian languageshad on the structureof the Sanskritlanguage has alsobeen presentedlucidly and with abalanced perspective.

In a nutshell, the present work can be called,without exaggeration, a pioneeringendeavour in the field of linguistics andIndology.

It is hopee that it will go same way toprovide an up-to-date synthesis of a subjectwhich in its present state is hardly accessibleoutside the widely scattered specialistliterature.


The °Rgveda Maƒdala IIAgnisμukta

DR. SIDDH NATH SHUKLA

Edited with interpretations, Hindi translation& detailed introduction by

DR. USHA SHUKLA

The height and lofty ideals of interpretationare discernible through the peaks of Såyaƒaís

commentary on the °Rgveda. This is the onlycommentary which takes the entire °Rgveda in itsperview and all traditional views of interpretationculminate in it. Some occidental scholarspresumed that they could interpret the Veda ina better way than Såyaƒa, but judging from theirworks, it appears that they could not movewithout Såyaƒaís help and their pretensions werebased on wrong edifices. This humble but sincereeffort will open some new dialogue in the fieldof the °Rgvedic interpretation.

A13-member expert committee set up by the HRD ministry, headed by N. Gopalswami,the former CEC and currently VC, Rashtriya San-skrit Vidyapeeth, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, hasrecommended a paradigm shift in the pedagogyof Sanskrit. It has suggested that grammar-trans-lation method of teaching Sanskrit should bedone away with. All over the world every languageis taught in the target language, therefore, San-skrit teaching should be in Sanskrit and not inany other language.

It has also been recommended that text-books be made available in Sanskrit for subjectslike Mathematics, Science among others in a bidto promote the ancient language as the mediumof instruction in the country. Another key sug-gestion is that students should be given thechoice to learn the language as per a three lan-guage formula. It has been also suggested thatthe treasure contained in Sanskrit manuals onvarious subjects such as Ayurveda, science of con-struction or other areas be made online. Themanuscripts in Sanskrit that have been digitizedshould also be made available online.Courtesy: The Times of India, February 5th, 2016

CHIPS FROM AN INDIC WORKSHOPRENAISSANCE IN INDIC STUDIES

Modern and Traditional VedicScholarship

There were great efforts to preserve numeroustexts in ancient India over the centuries throughboth written and oral traditions extendingthroughout the subcontinent and beyond to manyparts of Asia. This included schools and universities,state supported institutions, ashrams andmonasteries, temple depictions, musical forms,songs, dance and folklore. Naturally some variationwill be found in all of these renditions. The teachingswere part of the fabric of a living culture.Nevertheless foreign invasions, civil wars, plaguesand natural calamities had their effects along withthe movement of time and much was lost. What hasbeen preserved, though quite extensive, cannot beregarded as complete or without any gaps.

Modern scholarship has often approachedIndic teachings apart from their traditionalbackground in the name of objectivity or modernthought that is regarded as more accurate orprogressive. Such views may have some value, butcan bring in a degree of bias. For someone who isnot familiar with the practice of Yoga or Ayurveda,for examples, contemporary scholarship may notbe enough to understand the background of theteachings or their application.

Though there has been a tremendous andimportant effort of modern scholarship over thepast two centuries in examining Indiaís great

teaching since the Vedas, there is likely much morethan needs to be uncovered, which may changeexisting estimations of their meaning or value. Withthe end of the colonial era, there has been a slowshift of scholarship away from European models ofinterpretation and a bringing back of traditionalIndian methods of a more spiritual and yogicnature. This view is to be welcomed. Inside thetraditional views of traditional teachings has itsvalue. We cannot regard outside the tradition viewsonly as relevant.

What is needed is a new Indic scholarship thathas familiarity not only with modern methods ofhistorical interpretation but some understanding ofthe mind and culture of Indiaís teachings, includingtheir practices and customs, many of whichtraditions are still alive today. We cannot ignore theliving application of teachings and reduce them toa formula from the past that we, who may be farremoved from their sources of inspiration, can easilymisinterpret. A seed and a tree are quite differentbut the tree is inherent in the seed. That issomething only truly revealed by time.
