> Dear Colleagues,
>
> The proposed conference would focus on Buddhist sites and remains that
> have been worked up during the last six decades or so. It would
> include both kinds of papers - straightforward ones that just report
> archaeological finds; but will also have a second part to it that
> interrogates the methodological/ theoretical frameworks within which
> archaeological work is carried out. Some of the questions that the
> proposed conference will seek to address are: how does one define a
> Buddhist site? How can one show the relationship between a religious
> centre and the lay community through archaeological work? Is it
> possible to meaningfully interpret a multi-religious and multi-ethnic
> landscape through archaeological means?
>
> The proposed conference will greatly facilitate advanced research in
> the archaeology of the region by the comparison of data from various
> parts of the Subcontinent. For the theoretical aspects it will be
> seminal to understand, for example, the development of the concept of
> rock sculpture and rock caves/ hermitages - e.g. in the second half
> of the Millennium all around the Buddhist oikoumene (lit. the
> inhabited earth) - and its reflection in the landscape of the Buddhist
> sites in the region.
>
> The Conference will be held at the Buddhist Cultural Centre, Colombo,
> Sri Lanka for 3 days from 22 to 24 August, 2012.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre invites all the Member States to send a
> minimum of four nominations (maximum 10 persons can be nominated by a
> Member State) from amongst the experts and academicians of their
> country.
>
> The SAARC Cultural Centre would also accept the participation of other
> experts from the region (other than the nominees of the respective
> SAARC Member States) as well as from those residing outside the SAARC
> Region provided they are able to meet their travel and accommodation
> expenses to attend the Conference. However, to facilitate their stay
> during the Conference, the SAARC Cultural Centre would assist them in
> securing accommodation in guest houses/ hostels at economic/ subsided
> rates.
>
> The participants would be required to submit their full papers before
> the Conference and make a short presentation at the Conference. The

> Muslims representing all strata of society throughout the world face an

> intersections between Islam, political Islam, Islamophobia, and human
> rights. How does Islamophobia resemble other forms of social prejudice,
> and in what ways does it differ? What is the political function of
> Islamophobia? To what degree and in what ways is Islamophobia fed by the
> actions of political Islam? To what degree does the politicization of
> Islam exacerbate the victimization of Muslims? To what degree do the
> militant operations of political Islam serve as an excuse for those who
> intend to legitimize and institutionalize prejudice against Muslims? To
> what degree is prejudice a result of ignorance or lack of understanding of
> Islam and its followers? This conference invites all scholars of relevant
> disciplines for an in-depth theoretical, analytical, conceptual, and
> historical examination of Islamophobia. Proposals showing signs of
> polemics, propaganda, conspiracy theories, binary dichotomies, such as
> Arabs vs. Jews, East vs. West, Muslims vs. Christians, Israelis vs.

> South Asia Institute at The University of Texas at Austin. As of August

> articles of the highest quality, we are pleased to introduce two new
> features in our 2013 issue. For the first, we seek original translations
> of fiction and non-fiction prose and poetry from South Asian languages
> to English. For the second, we request response essays of 1500 words or
> less that consider single texts. Guidelines on length and formatting are
> provided below.
>
> With the introduction of these new elements, /Sagar /will allow scholars
> of South Asia to experiment with new styles of writing. Our translation
> feature will familiarize scholars of particular linguistic regions of
> South Asia to new literatures, both popular and literary. Such exposure
> will facilitate comparison, perhaps drawing out common currents in the
> literatures of South Asia. For the English language reader, this feature
> will showcase writings outside the commonly translated canons of South
> Asian literature. Our second new feature, the response essay, will allow
> for continuous reflection on images, speeches, exhibits, performances,
> architecture, songs, and the like. Here, we are not looking for
> responses to scholarly writings (i.e. book reviews); rather, we
> encourage scholars to venture outside their areas of specialization, to
> intervene with timely responses to current events, or take the first
> steps along the way to future scholarly projects.
>
> In all cases, we encourage writings that are theoretically driven and
> empirically grounded and take advantage of our online format through
> hyperlinks, color images, and embedded video and audio.
>
> Guidelines for Submission:
>
> We accept submissions for our annual issues every September and response
> pieces for online publication throughout the year. Manuscripts should
> follow the 16th edition of /The Chicago Manual of Style./ Entire
> essays, including block quotations and notes, should be double-spaced.
> Remove any identifying information so that submission is suitable for
> anonymous review.
>
> /(1) Full-length research articles/: Full-length-articles should be
> between 8,000 and 10,000 words and should include a one-paragraph
> article abstract.
>
> /(2) Original translations:/ Translations should be between 3,000 and
> 6,000 words and should be preceded by a 300-600 word introduction that

Five thousand years old, Ayurvedic massage has been shown to still the mind and body by lowering metabolic rates and inspiring feelings of peace and calm.

This book by a noted practitioner features more than 15 of these treatments, each described in step-by-step detail and some synchronized with two therapists for up to two hours in length. It provides the reader with all the tools necessary to begin Ayurvedic treatments as a part of a spa menu or massage therapy program.

Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/ Rs. 600 =Divine Buddhist Texts and Studies Series

Mediating the Power of Buddhas- Ritual in the Manjusrimulakalpa / Glenn Wallis/ Rs. 600./

Divine Buddhist Texts and Studies Series

Mediating the Power of Buddhas
Ritual in the Manjusrimulakalpa

Analyzes a seventh-century ritual manual that provides both a rich source of information of medieval Buddhist life and addresses the ongoing concern of how an adherent can encounter the power of a buddha.

Mediating the Power of Buddhas offers a fascinating analysis of the seventh-century ritual manual, the Mañjusrimulakalpa. This medieval text is intended to reveal the path into a ritual universe where the power of a buddha abides. Author Glenn Wallis traces the strategies of the Mañjusrimulakalpa to enable its committed reader to perfect the promised ritual, uncovering what conditions must be met for ritual practice to succeed and what personal characteristics practitioners must possess in order to realize the ritual intentions of the Buddhist community. The manual itself was written at a key point in Buddhist history, one when Hindu forms of practice were still imitated and on the cusp of the shift from Mahayana to Vajrayana (or Tantric) Buddhism. In addition, the Mañjusrimulakalpa presents a rich compendium of Buddhist life in an earlier era, containing information on a variety of its readers' concerns: astrology, astronomy, medicine and healing, ritual practice, iconography, devotion, and meditation.

"Wallis sheds much new light on the transition between 'sutra' and 'tantra' literature of Buddhist India." — John J. Makransky, author of Buddhahood Embodied: Sources of Controversy in India and Tibet

"Wallis brings alive the world of the Mañjusrimulakalpa and its ritual practitioner, and he draws on a variety of medieval and modern sources to illuminate the text. The Mañjusrimulakalpa is a crucial text for understanding medieval Indian Buddhism, yet, because of its immensity, it has been studied rather sparingly and incompletely—and never before with the particular ritual studies-cum-comparative-Indological perspective that Wallis brings to bear." — Roger Jackson, coeditor of Buddhist Theology: Critical Reflections by Contemporary Buddhist Scholars

Glenn Wallis is Assistant Professor in the Department of Religion at the University of Georgia.

Yoga and the Luminous- Patanjali's Spiritual Path to Freedom/ Christopher Key Chapple/ Rs. 500

Yoga and the Luminous- Patanjali's Spiritual Path to Freedom/ Christopher Key Chapple/ Rs. 500/
Lala Murari Lal Chharia Oriental Series

Yoga and the Luminous:
Patañjali's Spiritual Path to Freedom

From the Back Cover

In Yoga and the Luminous, a book that emerges from more than thirty years of practice, study, and reflection, Christopher Key Chapple addresses the need for an accessible explanation of Yoga's difficult philosophy and its applications in daily life. Yoga practice takes an individual on an inward journey, and through Yoga, one enters a rarefied state of consciousness, a transparency and luminosity described by its great philosopher Patañjali as being "like a clear jewel." Exploring Yoga through the prism of practice, Chapple begins with a historical overview of the many Yogic traditions in Indian religions. He continues with Yoga practice and the philosophy of Samkhya and then, in step-by-step fashion, he brings the reader to an understanding of the ethics of Yoga, the role of movement and breath, and the processes of concentration and meditation. Finally, building on the root metaphor of luminosity and light, Chapple explains the applications of Yoga in daily life.
Yoga and the Luminous also includes a word-by-word translation of Patañjali's Yoga Sutra, the foundational text of Yoga philosophy and a system of ethical practice and bodily purification. The translation is accompanied by an analysis that traces key ideas through the text, such as the reversal of mental and sensory outflows and the theme of spiritual discernment. Chapple also gives special attention to the feminine in the description of Yoga practices.

"Yoga and the Luminous is a welcome addition to the growing literature on Yoga. This excellent book will be of great value to scholars, practitioners of Yoga, and those interested in how Yoga can be applied to some of the important issues of our time." -- Gerald James Larson, Tagore Professor Emeritus, Indiana University at Bloomington, and Professor Emeritus, University of California at Santa Barbara

"This book is based not only on a deep understanding of the Yoga Sutra in its Jaina and Buddhist intellectual context but also on a lifetime of practicing the text. The result is a combination of intellectual insight and practical understanding written in clear English that communicates effectively to a wide range of readers." -- Harold Coward author of The Perfectibility of Human Nature in Eastern and Western Thought --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

About the Author

Christopher Key Chapple is Doshi Professor of Indic and Comparative Theology at Loyola Marymount University. He is the author or editor of many books, including Reconciling Yogas: Haribhadra's Collection of Views on Yoga and Ecological Prospects: Scientific, Religious, and Aesthetic Perspectives, both also published by SUNY Press.

Jivanmukti in Transformation - Embodied Liberation in Advaita and Neo-Vedanta / Andrew O. Fort / Lala Murari Lal Chharia Oriental Series

Jivanmukti in Transformation
Embodied Liberation in Advaita and Neo-Vedanta

Examines the Hindu concept of liberation while living from the perspective of the Advaita Vedanta school from the Upanisads to modern times.

Liberation (mukti) is a central concern in Hinduism, particularly in Advaita (nondual) Vedanta, perhaps the best known school of Hindu thought. There has been vigorous debate and analysis about the possibility and nature of liberation while living (jivanmukti) in Advaita from the time of Sankara, the school's founder, to the present day. While the general conclusion seems to be that one can achieve living liberation, members of the Advaita tradition also regularly express reservations about, or describe limitiations to, full liberation while embodied.

Jivanmukti in Transformation examines the development and transformation of the concept of jivanmukti from the Upanisads to the modern era. It gives the most thorough treatment of the scholastic Advaita tradition on liberation while living, makes the novel argument for a distinct "Yogic Advaita" tradition found in the Yogavasistha and Jivanmuktiviveka, and explores the modern "neo-Vedanta" view of jivanmukti, which has been influenced by modern Western concepts like global ecumenism and humanistic social concern for all. The book includes analysis of the views of modern Hindu figures such as Swami Vivekananda, Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Ramana Maharshi, and Sankaracaryas of Kanchi and Sringeri, and considers these thinkers in the context of current academic discussions about the encounter of India and the West.

"This book is very strong in its historical treatment of the notion of the jivanmukta. The author clearly establishes the concept to be a dynamic and changing one. He does so by working closely with the central texts of the Advaita tradition and the presentation is enriched by a discussion of recent figures. His textual analysis is rich and detailed." -- Anantanand Rambachan, Saint Olaf College

Andrew O. Fort is Professor of Asian Religions at Texas Christian University. His previous publications include Living Liberation in Hindu Thought (coedited with Patricia Y. Mumme), also published by SUNY Press and The Self and Its States: A States of Consciousness Doctrine in Advaita Vedanta.

Singing Krishna-Sound Becomes Sight in Paramanand's Poetry/A. Whitney Sanford - Author=Lala Murari Lal Chharia Oriental Series

Singing Krishna:

Sound Becomes Sight in Paramanand's Poetry

A. Whitney Sanford

Introduces Paramānand, one of India's poet-saints, his work, and this work's use in ritual.

Singing Krishna introduces Paramānand, one of north India's greatest medieval poet-saints, whose poetry has been sung from the sixteenth century to the present in ritual service to the Hindu deity Krishna. A. Whitney Sanford examines how hearing Paramānand's poetry in ritual context serves as a threshold for devotees between this world and Krishna's divine world. To "see Krishna" is a primary goal of the devotee, and Paramānand deftly constructs a vision through words. Sanford employs the dual strategies of interpreting Paramānand's poems—which sing the cycles of Krishna's activities—and illustrating the importance of their ritual contexts. This approach offers insight into the nature of the devotional experience that is not accessible by simply studying the poetry or rituals in isolation. Sanford shows that the significance of Paramānand's poetry lies not only in its beauty and historical importance but finally in its capacity to permit the devotee to see through the ephemeral world into Krishna's world.

"…Sanford's analysis of Paramānand's work is certainly valuable and goes a long way toward unpacking the intense devotional experience of bhakti and the traditions of the Vallabha Sampraday." — Religion

"The beautiful lyrics of Paramānand's poetry are a welcome addition to the growing body of Indic poetry in translation. Sanford's excellent book guides us through the poetry and takes us right to its sources." — Constantina Rhodes Bailly, author of Shaiva Devotional Songs of Kashmir: A Translation and Study of Utpaladeva's Shivastotravali

A. Whitney Sanford is Assistant Professor of Religion at the University of Florida.
