Subrahmanya Sastri, a rare combination of occidental scientific thinking and oriental orthodox culture was born on 29th July 1890 in a remote village in Tiruchi District. He acquired unequalled mastery of both Sanskrit and Tamil language and literature. He contributed richly to both the languages as could be gathered from his various writings. The 125th Birth Anniversary of this pioneering and prolific writer was celebrated on 29th July 2015.\u003cbr\u003eSastriar was born in a family of hereditary Sanskrit scholars like Chokkanatha Makhi (17 Cent. A.D.) and Bala Patanjali. As he was not born into a rich family his scholastic life was full of troubles. He passed S.S.L.C. through the Tiruchy National High School, F .A. at St. Joseph' s College and B.A. Mathematics at SPG (later Bishop Heber's) College - all in Tiruchy. He started his professional career as a Mathematics Assistant in the erstwhile Central High School (now Srinivasa Rao Higher Secondary School), Thiruvaiyaru and National High School, Tiruchy.\u003cbr\u003eHis sustained enthusiasm for studies made him walk 20 kms daily from Thiruvaiyaru and back to study Sanskrit under Brahmasri Nilakantha Sastri, specialist in grammar and philosophy, residing at Kshetrapalapuram. He also learnt Nyaya and Alankara Sastra from Mm.Prof. S.Kuppuswami Sastri of the Madras Presidency College and Mimamsa from Mm.Chinnaswami Sastri of Benares Hindu University. Taught by such eminent scholars, Sastri passed Sanskrit M.A. in 1914 as a private student. He also passed L.T. through the Teachers' Training College at Saidapet, Madras.\u003cbr\u003eHe was appointed Professor of Oriental Studies at SPG college, Tiruchy by Fr.Gardiner in 1917 and served his alma mater till 1926. He then became the Asst. Editor, Tamil Lexicon, University of Madras in which capacity he served till 1932. He was also an editor of the Lexicon for a brief period of one month. He served as Principal, Rajah's College, Thiruvaiyaru between 1932 and 1942 and as the Head of the Department of Sanskrit of the Annamalai University between 1942 - 47.\u003cbr\u003eWhile teaching Sanskrit, Prof. Sastri had to teach Tamil also. This paved way for his in depth study in both Sanskrit and Tamil specifically their grammars. Prof. Kuppuswami Sastri also taught him the Comparative Philology of Indo Aryan languages. All this along with his experience at the Tamil lexicon office which had galaxy of eminent Oriental scholars like Sri M.Raghava Iyengar, Sri V.M.Gopalakrishnamacharyar and Sri E.S.Varadaraja Iyer gave him inspiration to take up a systematic study of Tamil literature and grammar. With his harmonious combination of Sanskrit and Tamil study and strong footing in Comparative Philology, Prof.P.S.S. Sastri submitted to the University of Madras in 1930, the Ph.D. thesis entitled \"History of Grammatical Theories in Tamil and their relation to grammatical literature in Sanskrit\" independently without any official supervisor. His dissertation was the first to obtain Ph.D. degree in Tamil awarded by the University of Madras, and was highly praised by all the three European examiners Profs. Jules Bloch (France), R.L.Turner and Dr.L.D.Barnett (both from England). The study carried out by Prof. Sastri was indeed a landmark in India and outside, on matters relating to the history of Tamil Grammatical tradition. This work which established his place securely as the foremost interpreter of the ancient Tamil Grammatical tradition, saw the light of the day, through the issues of the prestigious Journal of Oriental Research (1932-35) and later in the form of the book by the Kuppuswami Sastri Research Institute (1934, 1997).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE KUPPUSWAMI SASTRI RESEARCH INSTITUTE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48514617540906,"sku":"SOF-00228","price":267.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/nan889_jpeg.webp?v=1747455221"},{"product_id":"aithihyamaala-the-great-legends-of-kerala-set-of-2-volumes","title":"Aithihyamaala: The Great Legends of Kerala (Set of 2 Volumes)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutho : Kottarathil Sankunni\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Mathrubhumi Books\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date : 1 January 2014\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ 1112 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 8182651484\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-8182651487\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1600 g \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE BOOK \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Aithihyamaala: The Great Legends of Kerala\" is a collection of century-old stories from Kerala, covering a vast spectrum of life, famous persons, and events.

Yet whereas individual works of the poet have been translated, an edition containing an English translation of his collected works does not seem to have been undertaken specially a rendering that combines fidelity to the text with readability using contemporary English. Three volume edition planned by the Sahitya Akademi might well be the Kalidasa corpus in its entirety thereby fulfilling a long felt need and making these classics accessible to a much wider audience than at present.\u003cbr\u003eAll seven of the great poet's works that are considered authentically his are being rendered into English verse (verse and prose in the plays) by Chandra Rajan. She has also written a long critical introduction that serves to place the texts in their context and suggests ways of looking at them singly and as part of the oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003eThe first volume, Poems opens a window into the rich world of the imagination of a writer of whom it was once said that no second to him has been found. The two volumes to follow will further explore the remarkable world of the art and the profound vision of this writer out of our ancient past whose many splendoured geniuses flowered and fulfilled itself in a many sided achievement.\u003cbr\u003eKalidasa is a courtly poet but his knowledge of the human heart and his understanding of the complex play of Human motivation are profound. A Keen observer of nature in all its varied aspects he sees with a painter's eye and speaks with a poet's tongue he is at the same time a learned writer who wears his enormous learning lightly and with grace. A mystic awareness of the transcendental combines in his works with a sensuous feeling for beauty in women and nature reflecting as it does the blend of the erotic and spiritual that characterise Siva mythology. Kalidasa's work is instinct with Siva's presence. In all of his works he celebrates the values of the great civilisation that he was heir to but not without questioning as is made amply clear in the introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAHITYA AKADEMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48516626809130,"sku":"SOF-04493","price":45.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/the_complete_works_of_kalidasa_volume__poems_english_idi070.webp?v=1716476251"},{"product_id":"सरल-संस्कृत-शिक्षक-saral-sanskrit-shikshak-set-of-8-volumes","title":"सरल संस्कृत शिक्षक Saral Sanskrit Shikshak (Set of 8 Volumes)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS : \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor : Shri Jayantkrishna H.

Consequently, in the few instances in which it might have been done it has not been thought worthwhile doing so in this Dictionary. The form in which the words appear is the Root, and only the Root idea is, in most instances, given. A slight knowledge of the Grammar of Santali will enable those consulting the Dictionary to deduce the meanings of the different forms in which the root appears, whether noun, adjective, verb, adverb, \u0026amp;o. Greater fullness of detail could have been given only in a very bulky volume, and, as Santali is regular in its method of dealing with the Root, no real advantage would have been gained.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crazyshelfindia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48968925184298,"sku":"FIRMA-019","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/hax597.jpg?v=1721728294"},{"product_id":"social-and-religious-aspects-in-bengal-inscriptions-an-old-and-rare-book","title":"Social and Religious Aspects in Bengal Inscriptions By R.

Though they are rooted in ancient Sanskrit literature, they represent a pivotal chapter in the evolution of human thought. These texts have profoundly influenced various cultures, notably through Buddhism in the East and across the Middle East, as well as through Neoplatonism, Christian mysticism, and Persian Sufism in the West. Their journey to Europe began with a Persian translation into Latin, capturing the attention of intellectuals like Schopenhauer, who famously stated, \"In the whole world there is no study so beneficial, and so elevating as that of the Oupanikhat (Upanishads). It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn India, numerous philosophical systems and religious sects have emerged from this profound source. Even pre-Buddhist philosophies like Sankhya and Yoga show traces of their origins in the Upanishads. References to later religious movements centered around deities such as Shiva, Shakti, and Vishnu also appear within these texts. While many ancient ideas have faded into obscurity, the core concepts that remain continue to echo the teachings of the Upanishads, which serve as a foundational goal for spiritual seekers across India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my exploration of the Upanishads, I aimed to create translations that are accessible to all. My initial effort in Bengali was well-received by scholars and general readers alike, encouraging me to share these translations in English. Despite the existence of other English translations, my goal was to present the texts in a straightforward manner, reflecting the inherent simplicity and naturalness of the Upanishads. They guide individuals toward a profound understanding of their own integrity, a journey that, though challenging, is as clear and simple as truth itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, the knowledge of the Upanishads was reserved for a select few. However, these texts passionately advocate for the unity, equality, and universality of humanity, emphasizing a single truth that unites us all. Over time, the straightforward meanings of these teachings became obscured by complex orthodox commentaries and sectarian interpretations. I believe that the wisdom contained within these texts should be accessible to everyone. My ambition has been to distill the essential meanings from the convoluted explanations that have arisen over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI invite readers to judge the success of my efforts, which I dedicate to the memory of the great sages.

These texts explore the highest ideals of existence and the most pressing questions of life and death that have preoccupied humanity throughout history. Many of the greatest minds from both the East and West regard the Upanishads as a pinnacle of wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMrs. Chitrita Devi has made a commendable effort to popularize the essential teachings of the Upanishads through her complete English translation of nine texts and an abridged version of two others.
