Vijayanagara Voices
Author: William J. JacksonPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317001931
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
The Vijayanagara Empire flourished in South India between 1336 and 1565. Conveying the depth and creativity of Hindu religious and literary expression during that time, Vijayanagara Voices explores some of the contributions made by poets, singer-saints, and philosophers. Through translations and discussions of their lives and times, Jackson presents the voices of these cultural figures and reflects on the concerns of their era, looking especially into the vivid images in their works and their legends. He examines how these images convey both spiritual insights and physical experiences with memorable candour. The studies also raise intriguing questions about the empire's origins and its response to Muslim invaders, its 'Hinduness', and reasons for its ultimate decline. Vijayanagara Voices is a book about patterns in history, literature and life in South India. By examining the culture's archetypal displays, by understanding the culture in its own terms, and by comparing associated images and ideas from other cultures, this book offers unique insights into a rich and influential period in Indian history.

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
Tyāgarāa (1767-1847) is undoubtedly South India’s most celebrated singer-saint. This book attempts to deepen our understanding of Tyāgarāa’s life and music with fresh insights. It explores Tyāgarāa’s philosophy of music and provides excellent English translations of a hundred and sixty of his greatest lyrics. For the first time in Tyāgarāa scholarship, the saint’s life and works have been contextualized in a sociohistorical framework. The author provides an exhaustive sociological analysis of Tyāgarāa’s Thanjavur and establishes links between Tyāgarāa’s works and the troubled history of his time. He analyses the making of saints in different religions and draws parallels between legends of saints built over decades.
My Mother, Me and My Wife: A cognizography in rambling realism
Author: Vennelakanti PrakasamPublisher: Allied Publishers
ISBN: 8194290309
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This book is about the author as guided and supported by his caring mother and as conjoined with his caressing wife. We are all products of our nature, nurture and culture, and we are environed by context and its participants. The locale of our praxis is as important as our cognition which creates the framework for our perception. What happens in one's life is his or her biography and what he or she ends up as cognising is his or her cognizography. Teachers, books, films, food and events all influence the way we perceive. Biography or Cognizography is relevant only if some generalizations can be drawn. That's what has been done here to highlight phenomena like Social Justice, Scientific Temperament, Cultural Finesse, and Spousal Bond.

Empire Inside Out

Pages : 265
Book Description
"Regardless of terminology, the use of padya and gadya in Telugu literary works is invariably linked to Nannaya (early to mid-11th century), traditionally considered the first poet of Telugu literature. The style that Nannaya inaugurated in his Telugu retelling of the Mahābhārata is regarded as the paradigm for later poets. His mixing of padya and gadya-an element not present in the Sanskrit Mahābhārata-became the preferred mode of poetic composition, even when translating a Sanskrit counterpart that used padya exclusively"--
