#Online Gita Course

[raat-jaaga-paakhi]

you mentioned harivansha and from what i know of scholarly stuffs it's much older than bhagavata purana so why do you think it isn't prominently considered for krishna's life? and what translations of harivansha do you use for your studies? i'm sorry if this seems too eager lololol

I'm answering this ask a year late, so I suppose that offsets your zeal (in a really horrible way)? This has been in my drafts, I just forgot about it entirely, thank you for coming to my inbox to remind me again. <3

Yes, Harivamsha was written much prior to Srimad Bhagavata Purana, and is considered some sort of appendix to the Mahabharata, which again is of greater antiquity. We can only speculate as to its relative lack of popularity, and I would like to mull over my own thoughts on this a bit more. I'll make a separate post, possibly. Let me just give a small introduction on the Harivamsha instead.

A Guide to Harivamsha

REFERENCES I USE IN MY STUDIES: (in no particular order)

1. Harivamsha Critical Edition (as edited by BORI, Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute), EN-translated by Bibek Debroy.

Above-average translation quality. Compared to the others, the only benefit of this reference is that it lets one know what sections BORI cleaved—regarding which one must keep in mind that, as Debroy himself noted and as I observed in the course of reading as well, the editing of Harivamsha Critical Edition was in no way as well and expertly done as that of the Mahabharata Critical Edition (BORI).

2. Harivamsha Purana, Gita Press

The only complete and accessible translation (Hindi) of HV that there is. Great translation quality. You usually don't have to second-guess each line (like I have to, with No. 1).

3. Chitrashala Press edition of Harivamsa, Online EN translation by Desiraju Hanumanta Rao, A. Purushothaman & A. Harindranath. https://www.dvaipayana.net/harivamsa/harivamsa-cs-index.html

Very helpful, as you get the Sanskrit verses alongside the translated English ones, for comparison/tallying purposes.

4. Harivamsha Purana, EN-translated by M. N. Dutt (https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/harivamsha-purana-dutt)

Most accessible translation; no big differences from No. 3 in interpretations. (I will take this opportunity to recommend Wisdomlib to practically everyone in this fandom.)

5. Krishna’s Lineage: The Harivamsha of Vyāsa’s Mahābhārata. EN translation by Simon P. Brodbeck.

Good translation, good language, immensely well-organised. Has family trees in a genealogical appendix.

GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF HARIVAMSHA'S STRUCTURE:

The text is divided into 3 parvas, as follows -

Harivamsha Parva - This contains a lot of background information through the genealogies and stories interspersed in all the lineage talk. We get some important backstory for MBh, and we get some stories which you may find in most other Puranas. (Interestingly, this contains the Syamantaka incident. It was a really big deal, is all.)

Vishnu Parva - The main section of Krishna's non-MBh life-story, starting from his birth, the Mathura-era exploits (Kamsavadh, Jarāsandha's attacks), Rukmini-harana (my beloved), the Pārijāta story, and dealing with Pradyumna (his firstborn) and Aniruddha's (Pradyumna's son) lives as well.

Bhavishya Parva - The first chapters of this section are indeed about "bhavishya" (things that happen or "will happen" post-Swargārohana, prophecies about Kali Yuga, etc). Then there's a set of chapters that go into some of Vishnu's avatars (Varāha, Narasimha, Vāmana, in particular). These two sets of chapters are translated in almost all versions. Then comes the dicey part, the set of chapters translated only in Gita Press Harivamsha, and ironically, the most important part of Bhavishya Parva in my opinion (because it has major portions of Krishna's life-story. This section contains Paundraka's (and Ekalavya's) siege on Dwāraka, the killing of Hamsa-Dimbaka (Jarāsandha's closest allies that Krishna speaks of to Yudhisthira in MBh's Sabhā parva) etc. Invaluable for better understanding of Yādava politics, and kind of ties up some loose ends from MBh.

Lovers and collectors of obscure Krishna-katha (or even just Purana-katha in general), Harivamsha is the place for you! <3

Do you have any tips for invoking imagery in your writing? I was reading your fic “Delicate” and was blown away by the metaphor and simile usage. Where do you even come up with the beautiful word combinations?

Whoa, wow, that is SO so kind, @sweet-lemon-slice!

Other than the obvious of always keeping a physical or online thesaurus handy, here are a few tips that might not be groundbreaking, but hopefully they’ll be helpful!

1. Reading a LOT of different types of literature helps; poetry (classic ESPECIALLY), classic lit, modern fiction, short stories, and of course fic!! Reading the way that other writers use metaphor/simile/imagery helps grease the gears of creativity in a biiig way AND always helps with vocabulary expansion!!

2. This one is going to sound strange and skip it if you want but my BIGGEST source of inspiration is meditating on or just reading religious text. Sutras, the Tripitaka, Tibetan book of the dead, the Tao te Ching, the Quran, the Bible and the Apocrypha, the Bhagavad Gita, the Tanach (esp. the Nevi’im and the Ketuvim). The imagery, the metaphor, the natural poetry of humanity grappling with the search for meaning and divinity!!! There is very little I’ve found out there that matches religious text’s literary exploration of depravity, anguish, tension, love, redemption, etc.

3. When you hear a phrase in a conversation, a show, a book, a song (songs are especially good for this) that’s been worded in a way that piques your interest, write it down! Then, play with the phrase and think about others ways to extend the metaphor. For example, I once heard a friend describing a fight with a partner by saying “he was undressing me with his words.” That got me thinking about the metaphor of undressing with words and what other actions harmful words can perform. I wrote down under that phrase, “cruelty as hands that strip, that shame, or rob. Inhumanity as a whip that cracks and splits the skin.” The more you do it, the more it builds a neural pathway that takes one idea you have for a line or a moment and then fans it out into many different ways to phrase it.

I hope this is at least a tiny bit helpful. Thank you so much for the ask! I feel ridiculously honored that you’d seek out my advice for building imagery 🫶🏽 happy writing!!

Bhagavad-Gita Classes / March to May 2024

Dear friends,

Greetings!

If you have five minutes to spare, I will tell you about my encounter with the Bhagavad-Gita.

I was nineteen when I first read the Gita, in English translation, from cover to cover.

I was quite impressed by it despite my near-complete ignorance of philosophy coupled with the disdainful scepticism that is natural to a college student. I got a chance to read through it again when my uncle Dr. Koti Sreekrishna prepared an independent English translation of the first few chapters. Little did I realize then that I would be co-translating the Gita some years down the road.

Our work, The New Bhagavad-Gita, was published in 2011. Since then, I've had the opportunity to go through the Gita multiple times, always hoping that the Gita will go through me at least once!

You might be wondering who I am.

This is me: Hari Ravikumar.

I am an author/editor who has (co-)written/edited some forty books, primarily related to Indian culture and heritage.

Readers praised The New Bhagavad-Gita for its simple language and accessible content. I've always believed that any new knowledge should help make us a better person. And only if we understand the message can we even try to practice it!

#

Upon the request of a few friends, I will be teaching an online Bhagavad-Gita course in English, spanning March to May 2024, for anyone who is interested. Except for a working knowledge of English, no other pre-requisites are expected.

Starting on the auspicious day of Maha-shivaratri, the hour-long classes will be on zoom, five days a week (on week-days, at 6.30 am IST) with no homework. I will read out the Sanskrit shloka, give the meaning of the words, and explain the import of the verse. I will try to ensure that the basic concepts are clear to everyone.

In this manner, I will go through all seven hundred verses of the text.

What I am not going to do is enforce any views or beliefs; neither am I going to teach Sanskrit nor am I going to discuss technical details related to the Mahabharata. I will refrain from referring to any other treatise (such as Upanishads, Brahma-sutras, commentaries on the Gita, etc.)

I feel that whatever has been expounded in the Gita is meant to be experimented in our life and to be realized by experience rather than by blind faith or excessive intellectualisation.

By the end of the course, you will get an idea of what the Bhagavad-Gita contains—and perhaps seriously begin improving the quality of your life.

However, with this new learning, if you are expecting to win an election, find a girlfriend/boyfriend, get a promotion, or double your net worth, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.

While teaching the class, I will be using the book The New Bhagavad-Gita (which you can get in the US on Amazon at this link and in India on Pothi at this link). It is not compulsory to buy the book but if you are one of those people who prefer having a book for ready reference, you may consider getting a copy.

If you are a serious student and have a great deal of extra time, you can get a copy of The Complete Bhagavad-Gita (available in three volumes: Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3) and study it.

I must warn you, this is going to be a really expensive course. It needs your undivided attention for 40+ hours in a span of three months.

In terms of money, however, it is free.

Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions

Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions: A Journey Toward Global Understanding

Why Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions Matters

1. Cultivating Mutual Respect The world is home to a diverse range of philosophical traditions and belief systems, including Western traditions like Christianity, existentialism, and stoicism as well as Eastern traditions like Taoism, Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions Buddhism, and Confucianism. Every tradition provides a different prism through which individuals understand their role in the universe, consider morality, and look for meaning in life. We may cultivate a climate of mutual respect by learning from one another and seeing the benefits of diversity rather than using it as a point of contention.

2. Harmonizing Knowledge for a Better Future Religious and cultural wisdom frequently intersects with philosophy and science. For a considerable amount of time, indigenous knowledge systems have possessed advanced comprehensions of astronomy, medicine, and ecology. These ancient discoveries have applications in modern science. Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, for instance, provide complementary therapies that are increasingly supported by scientific evidence. Including this knowledge can result in more comprehensive approaches to sustainability and healthcare.

3. Spiritual Growth and Inner Peace The pursuit of fulfillment, tranquility, and significance is at the core of many traditions. Originally from Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, and other faiths, techniques like prayer, meditation, and mindfulness are now widely used in wellness and self-care campaigns. People can find more individualized paths to inner calm and expand their spiritual awareness by engaging with these activities from different cultural backgrounds.

Pathways to Bridging Wisdom

1. Dialogue and Exchange It takes polite, open communication to comprehend different traditions. Exchanges between individuals from other cultures, whether through academic conferences, Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions interfaith meetings, or informal talks, offer chances for learning and development. Instead of attempting to eradicate differences, these conversations should look for areas of agreement while respecting the distinctiveness of each culture.

2. Comparative Philosophy and Religion Another method to build bridges across wisdom is to examine the parallels and discrepancies between philosophical and religious systems. Comparative studies enable academics and amateurs to delve into the complex histories and moral precepts of many traditions, exploring the ways in which ideas such as justice, morality, love, and compassion are understood in various cultural contexts. For instance, contrasting the Christian concept of “community” with the Buddhist concept of “interconnectedness” can emphasize differences in viewpoints while underlining common values.

3. Art as a Universal Language Art transcends cultural boundaries, whether it takes the form of performance, visual arts, music, or literature. It acts as a worldwide vehicle for the dissemination of difficult spiritual and intellectual concepts. Numerous creative works that touch on the universal human experience have been influenced by sacred writings such as the Bible, Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions the Tao Te Ching, and the Bhagavad Gita. Art is a vital instrument for bridging wisdom because it has the capacity to arouse empathy and establish profound emotional connections between individuals.

4. Technology and Global Platforms Digital channels are essential for promoting cross-cultural understanding in today’s globalized world. A new generation of scholars is gaining access to and appreciating many traditions thanks to online courses, webinars, podcasts, and social media platforms devoted to philosophy, religion, and cultural studies. Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and platforms like TED Talks have democratized education by enabling millions of people to interact with professionals from many cultural backgrounds. One’s intellectual horizon is expanded as a result of this exposure, which also humanizes other cultures and makes their wisdom understandable.

Challenges and Opportunities

1. Avoiding Cultural Appropriation Although it’s beneficial to absorb knowledge from many customs, there’s a thin line separating cultural exploitation and courteous adoption. It is essential to comprehend the background and importance of practices or concepts before engaging with wisdom from other civilizations. When parts of a tradition are exploited out of context or in a superficial way without comprehending its underlying meaning, this is known as appropriation. Genuinely bridging wisdom requires a humble approach and a desire to learn rather than co-opt.

2. Navigating Contradictions Diverse cultural traditions frequently present opposing perspectives on important matters like ethics, the afterlife, and the essence of life. Conciliating all disagreements and establishing a single, unified worldview are not necessary for bridging wisdom. Rather, it entails developing a sensitivity to paradox and complexity. For instance, while the Christian emphasis on love and devotion and the Buddhist idea of non-attachment may appear at odds, both can provide insightful perspectives when considered in their larger settings.

3. Building Educational Curricula It is imperative that cross-cultural studies be incorporated into educational systems in order to promote enduring respect of global wisdom traditions. Curricula that encourage students to investigate various philosophical and theological systems can be created by educational institutions. This strategy not only increases cultural literacy but also fosters empathy and critical thinking, preparing the next generation to live in a multicultural environment.

Examples of Successful Bridges

1. The Dalai Lama and Western Science One of the most prominent instances of bridging wisdom across traditions is the Dalai Lama’s talks about mindfulness, awareness, and the nature of happiness with neuroscientists and psychologists. These discussions have sparked important studies on how meditation affects the brain, demonstrating how traditional wisdom can influence contemporary research.

2. The Parliament of the World’s Religions This global interfaith organization brings together people from various religious traditions to discuss issues like peace, climate change, and social justice. The Parliament emphasizes the shared ethical teachings of different faiths while celebrating their diversity. It has played a key role in promoting tolerance and mutual understanding across religious divides.

3. Ubuntu Philosophy and Global Peace Movements The Southern African ideology of ubuntu, which emphasizes humanity, community, and interdependence, Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions has impacted international attempts to promote peace and reconciliation. Prominent individuals such as Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu have used Ubuntu in support of their calls for reconciliation and forgiveness, illustrating the critical role that traditional knowledge can play in tackling today’s pressing global issues.

Conclusion: Embracing the Journey

Building bridges between wisdom from different traditions is a means to world peace, not just a cerebral exercise. We not only deepen our grasp of the rich past of many civilizations, Bridging Wisdom Across Traditions but we also open up channels of communication, empathy, and mutual development. We must behave with focus, listen intently, and show complete respect as we continue this path. We may create a world that respects the uniqueness and universality of the human soul by going through this process.

We are reminded that, despite our diverse pathways, the human search for purpose, connection, and knowledge is universal when we embrace the wisdom of many traditions. By working together, we can create a more complex and compassionate global story that honors all traditions and, in the process, advances all of humanity.
