Extractions: The sacrificial injunctions from the Brahmanas, as re-elaborated in the Srauta-sutras, generated in the corpus of the sacred scriptures the codification of the Hindu animal-sacrifice, called n i r u d h a p a s u b a n d h a (where pasu-bandha can be translated as "animal-binding") in Sanskrit. In this appendix we will present and comment some of the informations contained in the Srautakosa (Encyclopedia of Vedic Sacrificial Ritual, I, P. II, p. 770-876), priestly and the ritual sum of the sacrificial norms from the Kalpasutras belonging to the various Vedic schools. (According to Katyayana-Srautasutra, Haviryajnavidha -animal-sacrifice consisting in the acomplishment of the rites "from the commencement of the vow up to the stepping of the Visnu-steps" -must be distinguished from Savavidha -animal-sacrifice performed as "ancillary to the Soma-sacrifice"). To begin with, the scripture carefully enumerates the sacrificial ustensils which, one by one, will be called to ceremonial life during the ritual event, a sort of indispensable "stage requisites" which allow the happening of the sacred slaughter: sticks from the putudru tree (pinus deodara), bdellium, sugandhitejana, a bunch of white wool which has grown between the two horns of a ram, two cords -one with two strands and the other with three strands, two forks (vapasrapani) -one two- pronged and the other one-pronged, heart-pike (hrdayasula), sticks from the karsmarya tree (gmalina arborea), a staff for the maitravaruna from the udumbara tree, sacrificial grass and faggot, a faggot for carrying forth the fire, twig of the plaksa tree (ficus infectoria), idasuna or wooden plank, two darbha -blades, barley, flour, curds and gold (cf. Srautakosa, I, P. II, p. 774).

Examination of the Family (ix) Religious Ceremonies Essential Whatever may be the method through which marriage was effected, the religious ceremonies were essential to make it valid.78c Vasistha and Baudhayana declare: "Where a damsel is taken by force but is not solemnly married according to the religious rites, she may be duly given in marriage to another, for then she remains a virgin as before."79 Devala says, "In the forms of marriages, The religious idea was supreme in the Hindu life. It was of less consequence how the pair was united, but if once united, the tie should be consecrated and thus union made lasting. The nuptials were supposed to impart sanctity to the marital relation. Hence it was thought necessary that they should he performed in every case. At present, however, such cases do not arise owing to tile custom oh child-marriage and Purdah system. Only in low-caste peoples rare cases of irregular marriage are noticed. (x) Limitations of Marriage Another problem regarding marriage was the examination of the family of the bride and that of the bridegroom. According to Senart the Aryan people practised in affairs of marriage both a rule of exogamy and endogamy. A man must marry a women of equal birth, but not of the same gens, according to the Roman law as interpreted by Senart and Kovalevsky, and an Athenian must marry an Athenian women, but not of the same genos. In India these rules are reproduced in the form of that one must not marry within the Gotra, but not without the caste".83a

The Meaning The rite through which a man placed his seed in a woman was called Garbhadhana. Saunaka gives the similar definition though in slightly different words; "The rite by the performance of which a woman receives semen scattered (by her husband) is call Garbhalambhanam or Garbhadhana." So this is quite clear that this rite was not a religious fiction but a ceremony corresponding to fact, though its adherents, later on, fought shy of, and ultimately, abandoned it. The Vedic Period In the Vedic period we see that parental instincts found their expression in many utterences containing prayers for children. Heroic sons regarded as boons conferred by gods on men. The theory of Three Debts was in the process of evolution in the Vedic period. A son was called "Rinachyuta" or one who removes debts, which may denote parental and economic both and the begetting of children was regarded a sacred duty blinding on every individual. Moreover, there are many similes and references in the Vedic hymns bearing on how to approach a women for conception. Thus an idea, and, perhaps, a simple ceremony regarding conception were coming into existence in the Vedic period. The Sutra Period The Dharmasutra, the Smrti and

Kansara Director, Akshardham Centre for Applied Research in Social Harmony (AARSH), Akshardham, Gandhinagar - (382 020) Jagadguru Shankaracharya Swami Shri Bharati Krishna Tirthaji Maharaja of Govardhan Peeth Matha, Puri, wrote or dictated a book entitled `Vedic Mathematics' based on 29 Sutras, of which 16 deal with the general case, while the rest 13 treat the special cases. The declaration of the Sutras as "Vedic" or as belonging to the Vedas, particularly to the Atharvaveda, and his claim that "the Sutras (aphorisms) apply to and cover each and every part of each and every chapter of each and every branch of mathematics including arithmetic, algebra, geometry plane and solid, trigonometry - plane and spherical, conics - geometrical and analytical, astronomy, calculus - differential and integral etc., etc.", and that "there is no part of mathematics, pure or applied, which is beyond their jurisdiction" has raised a controversy amongst the mathematicians of India, some of whom have questioned the Vedicity of the Sutras on the ground of their language, and the level of mathematics it deals with. It is endeavoured here to deal with the problem in all possible aspects, and examine the validity or otherwise of the claim.

Extractions: CHAPTER XVII INIQUITY AND RETRIBUTION IN THE HINDU-BUDDHIST SOURCES CHANCHAL BHATTACHARYA In this paper we mainly shall seek to develop the semantic space which underscores the concepts of iniquity (steya) and retribution (danda) In this paper we shall refer to the Judeo-Christian frame of values through hermeneutic interrelations, and assume that since Brahminism was foundational to Buddhism the way Judaism has been to Christianity, an exploration of the contexts of the steya and danda in their sources will provide us with the semiotic environment common to both Hinduism and Buddhism. The reasons for selecting the themes of steya and danda , stem from the following considerations: (a) The concept of steya is foundational to the eighteen titles of Classical Hindu Law. (b) The idea of danda is inseparable from the idea of steya . In addition, the negation of steya (asteya) is an indispensable prerequisite for pursuing the path of righteousness (dharma) which leads one to liberation (moksa) . Needless to say, the attainment of such a goal is central to the very quest of Hindu thinking and philosophy. Around this central theme of moksa

Extractions: The philosophical traditions of Hinduism are quite different from what we know as contemporary Western philosophy . Generally speaking, the modern Western approach seeks to find an objective vantage point from which to analyze and properly order the many subjective perspectives which constitute what is then termed "reality". The Indian approach, by contrast, has sometimes been called a subjective attempt to find the ultimate objective. While the modern West solely stresses theory, dialectic and discursive deductive reasoning, Asia has been said to put more of an emphasis on intuitive insight and introspection, intimately coupled with reason. The Hindu philosophical schools have traditionally taken a more holistic, interactive and experiential approach to acquiring knowledge. One could say that Asian philosophers took Socrates' recommendation to "know thyself" and ran with it... and this many centuries before Socrates was born. The contrast between these two relatively distinct approaches becomes even more apparent when we look at the respective goals of each. For the modern Western philosopher, knowledge is something which is usually considered to be divorced from the actual practical activities and behavior that the philosopher engages in. Truth is not lived and practiced, it is merely thought. This is not the case for the traditional Hindu philosopher, for whom philosophy necessarily serves as a pragmatic guide to everyday life, in addition to a cognitive road map to loftier metaphysical concerns. For most Hindu philosophers, one's philosophy is something which is not merely thought, but is something which necessarily informs and guides the entirety of one's life.

He sits talking till eight, and, attended by a Brahman servant or two, bathes, and tying a silk or newly washed cotton waistcloth round his middle and setting his feet on wooden pattens, goes to the house-shrine or god-room. In the house shrine he sits on a low wooden stool before the gods for about half an hour, repeating prayers, worshiping, and chanting verses. When his worship is over, be marks his brow with the tilak or sect-mark, changes his silk waistcloth, if he has worn it, for a cotton waistcloth and sits in his office doing business till eleven. He dines with some male friends or near relations, chews betelnut and leaves, and sleep for an hour or two, awakes about two, washes his bands and face, dresses and sits in his office, and, towards evening, goes to look after his estate or to walk. He comes back about six, washes, puts on a silk waistcloth, prays, chants, sups, and goes to bed about ten. Middle-class Brahmans may be divided into grahasths or laymen and bhikshuks or clerics. Lay Brahmans belong to two classes, those who are employed a in Government or traders offices and those who lend money or manage land on their own account. A Brahman clerk in the service of Government or of a trader rises at six, washes, and goes to market to buy whatever is wanted in the house. He returns, bathes between eight andnine, and, after repeating prayers, worshipping, and chanting verses for about ten minutes, dines. After dinner he chews betelnut and leaves, dresses, and goes to office. He comes back at six, generally reads a newspaper, or sits talking, washes, repeats Sanskrit prayers for ten minutes, and sups at or after seven. After supper he chews betel nut and leaves, smokes tobacco, and sometimes plays chess or cards. He goes to bed about ten.

Extractions: Volume IV, No. 25 "Real nama bhajana is not a cheap thing. We must pay the price to attain this through service, self-abnegation, and sacrifice. Do not be afraid to sweep the temple, thinking you will miss something. Participation in Krsna lila is all service, regardless of what form it takes, therefore our prospect for entering there requires first and foremost that we develop a serving ego." Q. Yesterday, I was listening to a famous historical tape of Srila Prabhupada chanting japa. When I listened it seemed that Srila Prabhupada was not chanting the maha-mantra properly. It sounded like he was mostly skipping the "Hare Hare" at the end and going directly to "Hare Rama." Do you have an explanation for this? A. Some fear of renunciation is healthy. It is not a cheap thing. Still, you should spend some time in an ashram. Then you will get a better understanding of renunciation in general and its relationship to liberated life. Gaudiya Vaishnava ashramas teach and practice yukta-vairagya (balanced renunciation), which involves renouncing our false sense of proprietorship, as opposed to the renunciation of all that is considered material. In yukta-vairagya we learn how to utilize so-called worldly things in the service of Krsna, their true proprietor. You may find this attractive given the charm of Krsna and the dharma of his holy name as taught and exemplified by Sri Caitanyadeva.

Extractions: LAWS ON WOMEN Judaism, Christianity and Hinduism Divorce was the mans privilege and the ground for divorce was simply, if the wife does not find favour with the husband, he would, then, write a bill of divorcement and send her out of the house (Deuteronomy 24:1-4). She could marry again, but only once. For the birth of a male-child the period of ritual uncleanness was seven days, for the girl-child, it was fifteen days (Leviticus 12:2-5). The womans inherent inferiority is epitomized in the Genesis story where woman was the second to be created and the first to fall. St. Augustine in his Of Holy Virginity says that man alone was created in Gods image. A pious Jew in his daily prayer thanks God that he is born as a man and not a woman. Lawgivers said that it was better to burn the Torah than to let the scripture fall into a womans hand; she had thus no access to formal education.
