Religions of Early India
Author: Richard H. Davis
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 069126578X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
The extraordinary multiplicity of religions and religious cultures in India, chronicled over two thousand years From its earliest recorded history, India was a place of remarkable and varied religious activity, ranging from elaborate sacrificial rituals and rigorous regimes of personal austerity to psycho-spiritual experimentation and utopian visions. In this ambitious and wide-ranging chronicle, Richard Davis offers a history of India’s myriad religious cultures that spans two thousand years, from 1300 BCE to 700 CE. India, Davis writes, was not only the birthplace of the religions we now know as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It was also the home of other, often unnamed religions that can be classified as “folk” or “popular” religions. Tracing these intertwined practices, Davis shows that the ardent and heterogeneous religious cultures of early India came to define and redefine themselves in relation to one another. Davis recounts this history through voices—voices recorded in hymns, poems, songs, didactic stories, epic narratives, scientific treatises, and theological discourses, as well as voices that speak through material remains, whether monumental sculptures or tiny terracotta figurines of nameless goddesses. He focuses on the long millennium often designated as “classical India,” which stretches from the time of the founding figures of Buddhism and Jainism during the sixth century BCE through the seventh-century-CE dynasties of the Chalukyas and the Pallavas in southern India. Throughout, he emphasizes encounter, interaction, debate, critique, and borrowing among religious communities within a shared, changing social and political reality. The voices and visions of early India’s religions, Davis shows us, are fascinating in their multiplicity.

(5) Did Krishna show his powers in lengthening Droupadi's saree during the dyuta-sabha? (6) Did Droupadi really say that the son of a blind man is blind? Was Droupadi the reason for the war? (7) Did Droupadi refuse to marry Karna in the Swayamvar, calling him a suta-putra? (8) Was Hanuman really sit on Arjun's chariot during the war? (9) Did Krishna really cover the sun during the war? (10) How will Kalyuga end? (11) How was Yudhishthira punished for his half lie? (12) Was the war of Mahabharata a battle for power or really a dharam-yudha? (13) Did guru Drona ask for Eklavya's thumb? If yes, was it because of Arjuna or anything else? (14) Who was superior, Arjuna or Karna? There are many more such questions of which answers are given incident-wise in this book that is written in a very simple English to make it easily read and understood by everyone.

History of India, in Nine Volumes: Vol. I - From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century B.C.
Author: Romesh C. Dutt
Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1605204919
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
The waves of Hindu conquests rolled onwards, and the aborigines submitted themselves to a higher civilization and a nobler creed. Rivers were crossed, forests were cleared, lands were reclaimed, wide wastes were people, and new countries hitherto aboriginal witnessed the rise of Hindu power and of Hindu religion. Where a few scanty settlers had penetrated at first, powerful colonies grew; where religious teachers had retired in seclusion, quiet villages and towns arose. Where a handful of merchants has made their way by some unknown river, boats plied up and down with valuable cargoes for a civilized population. from Chapter XVIII: Expansion of the Hindus First published in 1906, this classic nine-volume history of the nation of India places it among the storied lands of antiquity, alongside Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. Edited by American academic ABRAHAM VALENTINE WILLIAMS JACKSON (18621937), professor of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, it offers a highly readable narrative of the Indian people and culture through to the time of its publication, when the nation was still part of the British Empire. Volume I, From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century B.C., by Bengali historian ROMESH CHUNDER DUTT (18481909), features entertaining and enlightening treatments of: [ ancient India and the Rig-Veda [ the Indo-Aryans and their literature [ food and art in the Vedic age [ the Brahmanic period and literature [ the Mahabharata [ the Ramayana [ law, astronomy, and learning [ the religious doctrines of the Upanishads [ caste in the age of laws and philosophy [ Buddhist sacred literature [ life of Gautama Buddha [ and much more. This beautiful replica of the 1906 first editionincludes all the original illustrations.
