AgniThe Vedic Ritual of the

Fire Altar (2 Volumes)

FRITS STAAL

The larger Vedic rituals were primarilydedicated to Agni and Soma. One of the most

elaborate of these ceremonies was calledAgnicayana, the ëpiling of Agni,í or, simply, Agni.During its performance, a large altar in the shapeof a bird, dedicated to Agni was piled from morethan a thousand bricks.

The first volume contains a discussion of theplace of the Agnicayana in the Vedic Srauta tradition,its textual loci, traditional and moderninterpretations of its origins and significance andan overview of the Nambudiri Vedic tradition. Thebulk of the volume is devoted to a detaileddescription of the 1975 twelve-day performance,richly illustrated with tipped-in photographs,mostly in colour, tables and maps.

The second volume contains contributions byan international galaxy of scholars on archeology,the pre-Vedic Indian background, geometry, ritual

vessels, music, mudras,mimamsa, a survey ofsrauta traditions inrecent times, theinfluence of Vedicritual in the Homatraditions of Indonesia,Tibet, China, Japan andrelated topics. Thereare translations of therelevant Srauta sutras ofBaudhayana (togetherwith Calandís text) and

the Jaiminiya (with Bhavatrataís commentary) aswell as the Kausitaki Brahmana.Future generations will look with admiration on what has beenachieved here. With this epoch-making initiative, Frits Staal andhis collaborators have earned the gratitude of the history ofcivilization.

Vedic Mathematics forSchools (Book 1)

JAMES T. GLOVER

Vedic mathematics is a new and unique systembased on simple rules and principles which

enables mathematical problems of all kinds to besolved easily and efficiently. The methods andtechniques are based on the pioneering work ofthe late Bharati Krishna Tirthaji, Sankarcarya ofPuri, who establishedthe system from thestudy of ancient Vedictexts coupled with aprofound insight intothe natural processe ofmathematical reaso-ning.

It is based onsixteen principleswhich lie behind shortrules of working, oraphorisms, which areeasily remembered. Inthe Vedic system these aphorisms are called sutras,simple terse statements expressing rules,definitions or governing principles.

This book should be taken as an introductoryvolume. Many of the methods are developedfurther at a later stage and so, in the present text, itmay not be apparent why a particular method isbeing given. An important characteristic is that,although there are general methods forcalculations and algebraic manipulations, thereare also methods for particular types of calculations.For example, specifically in multiplying anddividing numbers close to a base of ten, a hundred,a thousand, etc. Where such particular methodsare introduced at an early stage it is because theyrelate to more general aspects of the system at alater stage or are simply very quick and easy ways toobtain answers.J.T. Glover...shows clearly that when the formulas are understood,particularly in relation to one another, Vedic mathematics presentsunified mathematics.

That CompassionateTouch of MaAnandamayeeNARAYAN CHAUDHURI

Among all the living Godmen of India or forthat matter even Godwomen, Ma Ananda-

mayee ëis the most shining diamond in theluminous crown of contemporary Indian spirituallife.í Initially known as a strange village girl in whatwas then East Bengal (now Bangladesh), She grewup to be known as the miraculously compassionateMata AnandamayeeóMother of Joy. Her acts oflove and compassion to those around as well asaway from Her have become almost a legend,serving as a perennial source of faith in Her.

Those who have already come in contact withSri Anandamayee Ma seem never to tire of readingor knowing more and more about Her. This desireis more persistent among those who have merelyheard about Her but have not yet had theopportunity of having her darshan. The number ofMotherís devotees is vast and ever-growing, and

they come from all walksof life and from almostall over the world.

Each incident ofthis volume unmista-kably shows the Motherlives solely for Herfellow-beings and forhelping and guidingthem to become ëpil-grims on the SupremePath ó the Path thatleads to Self-realization,

to supreme ultimate God Itself.í Indeed, She islooked upon as an incarnation of unboundeddivine compassion....everything that this body says or does, its actions, movements, itsgoing hither and thither, is done for your sake whatever is donefor you by this body at any time, it is you who cause it to happen.

The Art of PersonalityThe Sufi Message

Volume IIIHAZRAT INAYAT KHAN

Among the many-sided teachings of HazratInayat Khan, the discussion of the problems

related to our everyday life occupy an importantplace. Esotericism, spirituality and religiouspractice counted very little for him in a personwho did not fulfil his duty towards his fellowmenand himself. According to Inayat Khan a personísmain task and purposein life is to becomehuman, in the fullestsense of the word, thisis why man has come onearth and only afterhaving achieved this willit be possible for him toreturn with full consci-ousness to the sourcewhence he had come.

In this third volumeof The Sufi Message ofHazrat Inayat Khan a considerable part of themysticís lectures and lessons on what might becalled ësocialí subjects have been collected. Thusone will find in the first section Education, a seriesof lectures where the upbringing of the child isanalysed from its infancy onwards.

In the second section Rasa Shastra, inspiringviews are expressed on lifeís creative forces andour sexual relationships.

The personality, however, is a work of art; itdevelops and is moulded through love. This isexplained in the third section in a wonderful wayin Character-building and the Art of Personality.

The fourth section Moral Culture explains thatmoral standards cannot be fixed once and forever,neither culturally nor individually. An individualmay grow from one stage to the next therebychanging attitudes and behaviour accordingly, thuscontributing to its own growth and improved socialrelationships.

The Mukte‹vara Templein Bhubaneswar

WALTER SMITH

While much of a general nature has beenwritten about the temple architecture of

Orissa, there have been until now few studies whichfocus on a single Orissan temple. Yet such studiesare of great importance, not only in contributingto an understanding of stylistic development, butfor the proper assessment of the unique formaland iconographical features of a given monument.

This monograph will attempt to address boththe problems of formal development and symbolicmeaning in relation to the Muktesvara temple. It isdivided into five chapters. Chapter 1 is a review ofthe literature on the Hindu temple in Orissa; itplaces this study within its scholarly context, andindicates the various approaches to the subject yetto be taken. Chapter 2 takes into account thehistorical and religious background. Chapter 3 isa detailed description of the Muktesvara templeand its sculptural program. Chapter 4 is an

interpretation of thetemple and its icono-graphy. The sculptureof the temple is seen asconstituting a cohesive,unified program thatcan be read at a varietyof levels, rather than asa generalized arrange-ment of various sculp-tural motifs. TheMuktesvara templeíssymbolic meaning canbe interpreted more

fully if a functional context is kept in mind. Chapter5 presents a chronological sequence for templespreceding, contemporary with, and following theMuktesvara, tracing the development of theëmatureí style, and indicating the place of theMuktesvara within this development. It establishesthe Muktesvara as the temple which makes shiftfrom earlier styles, also introducing various non-Orissan elements which came to have a lastingimpact on the Orissan temple.Delhi, 1994. xxi, 148p., 186 B/W plates, gloss., index.ISBN: 978-81-208-0793-8 500 (HB)

A Treatise on World RenunciationPart I: Text; Part II: Translation

PATRICK OLIVELLE

World renunciation was a well establishedreligious life-style during the time of the

Buddha. It must have been in existence for at leasta couple of centuries before that time; we findallusions to it in the early Upanisads.

A close examination of the Text shows that itconsists of five main parts of varying lengths:Preliminary discussion on renunciation [1-4],Procedure of renunciation [5-21], Daily practicesof a renouncer [24-50, 54-59], Wandering and rainresidence [60-65], and Miscellaneous topics [66-72].Two short sections, 22-23 and 51-53, are insertedas appendices after Part Two and in the middle ofPart Three, respectively. The first appendix dealswith the period of study immediately followingrenunciation. This discussion naturally follows thaton the procedure of renunciation, because thelatter ends with the new renouncer placing himselfunder the guidance of a teacher.Vienna, 1976. 139p. index (Pt. I); Vienna, 1977, 231p.,index (Pt. II).ISBN: 3-900271-02-X (Set in Two Parts) 2800 (HB)

On Soft and Hard PowerThe concept of ìsoft powerî has gainedcurrency recently. It is associated with the nameof Joseph Nye, who has argued that if powerconsists of the ability to alter someoneísbehaviour in oneís own interest, then forceneed not be the only way of doing so. Thesuperiority of oneís culture can also in goodmeasure secure it.

The concept, while extremely useful, maynot be that new. In the colophon of his famousArtha‹åstra, its author Kau¢ilya claims to haveresuscitated both ‹astra and ‹åstra. Theclassification arguably conforms, in its broadcontours, to hard and soft power. In fact,Rammanohar Lohiaís succinct statement of howthe British subjugated India may contain thisdouble allusion, for he says that ìthe Britishruled India with bullet and languageóbandook ki goli aur angrezi ki boli.î1

ANCIENT INSCRIPTIONON CHERA HISTORY FOUND

An inscription that could prove to be a landmarkin the history of Chera rule in South India has

been found at a temple in Kurumathur, nearAreekode (Malappuram) Kerala. The epigraphprovided the direct proof to establish the date andrule of the first perumal of Mahodayapura(Kodungallur).

The inscription, unearthed during therenovation of the Kurumathur Vishnu temple, givesnot only the date of the first Chera king but also hisname in full. Engraved on a granite slab in thePallava Grantha script, the inscription is in the form

of eulogy or ìprasasti,î praising and legitimisingthe rule of King Rama Rajasekhara of Maho-dayapura.

Composed in Sardula Vikridita metre inSanskrit, the three-stanza inscription says that KingRama Rajasekharaís glory be spread across theoceans. Even when connecting the ancestry ofPerumals to the epic hero Sri Rama, the inscriptiongives May 24, AD 871, as an exact regnal date ofRajasekhara Perumal in the form of a ìkali dinaîchronogram.(Courtesy: The Hindu)
