Love in Hindu Literature
Author: Benoy Kumar Sarkar
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9781330050002
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
Excerpt from Love in Hindu Literature Love between man and woman has always been a theme of Hindu poetry. With Kalidasa, the Shakespeare or Goethe of classical Sanskrit literature, (who flourished in the first half of the fifth century in the reign of Chandragupta II, one of the Indian Charlemagnes), love between the sexes was a principal motif of his epic, lyric and dramatic works. But when a Hindu speaks of his love-literature, he thinks first and foremost of the mediaeval pastoral lyrics, the Padabali, which may be conveniently, described as the "Idylls of Radha," of which Radha is the heroine and Krishna or Kanu her lover. The present essay seeks mainly to interpret a few of these lyrics as englished by Dr. A. K. Coomaraswamy. In mediaeval Bengal writers on love were legion. They are commonly known as the trouveres or minstrels of Vaishnavism, a cult of bhakti or devotion, which corresponds to the Jodo Buddhism of Japan and the Sufi mysticism of Persia. In Vaishnava parlance the name, Krishna, is divine, and Radha semi-divine. Radha-Krishna literature is thus liable to be regarded as an allegory of the mystical union between God and the Soul. The present writer pleads for a thoroughly human and secular interpretation, unless, of course, the relation between the sexes be considered as something spiritual or divine. The treatment of love by Vaishnava poets, by Vidyapati in particular, is so plainly and emphatically in the language of the senses, that it is impossible to read any super-sensual meaning into it. If sexual love is mysticism, Vidyapati is a mystic. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Into the Twilight of Sanskrit Court Poetry
Author: Jesse Knutson
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520282051
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
At the turn of the twelfth-century into the thirteenth, at the court of King Laksmanasena of Bengal, Sanskrit poetry showed profound and sudden changes: a new social scope made its definitive entrance into high literature.Ê Courtly and pastoral, rural and urban, cosmopolitan and vernacular confronted each other in a commingling of high and low styles. A literary salon in what is now Bangladesh, at the eastern extreme of the nexus of regional courtly cultures that defined the age, seems to have implicitly reformulated its entire literary system in the context of the imminent breakdown of the old courtly world, as Turkish power expanded and redefined the landscape.Ê Through close readings of a little-known corpus of texts from eastern India, this ambitious book demonstrates how a local and rural sensibility came to infuse the cosmopolitan language of Sanskrit, creating a regional literary idiom that would define the emergence of the Bengali language and its literary traditions.
