Let Me quote and bring? your attention to the following book " Max mullerr and his his contemporaries" Published Ramakrishna Ashram ? "An inheritor of German romanticism in the study of India, Max Muller wrote in India: What can It teach us?:'We all come from the East-all that we value most has come to us from the East....everybody ought to feel that he is going to his"old home", full of memories, if only he can read them.'He was aware of hard realities of the then India.In his old age he frankly confessed: 'I do not desire to see the geographical Benares with my physical eye.My idea of that city is so high that i cannot risk disillusionment.' ?? Notwithstanding his vast scholarship and love for India, he was a misunderstood person.He had critics both in India and abroad.His idea of Christianising India raised a hue and cry here, while his liberal views on Christianity enraged the Cristian missionaries.In this context it would be worthwhile to remember Wilhelm Halbfass's observation.In his?book India and Europe he remarked:'In general Mueller viewed the 19th-century Indian reform movements as a sign of a growing approximation of the Hindus to Christianity.In his later development, Mueller's thought increasingly tended towards eclecticism, while his ties to Christianity became looser and his recognition of the Vedanta,?in he described as the "acme" of human thought,?more pronounced.' Indian philosophy is called darsana, and darsana maens a spiritual perception, a vision.Muller seems to have had cherished?an almost similar view.Muller wrote, 'We?should damnify religion, if we?seperate it from?philosophy;we should ruin philosophy, if we divorce it from religion.'Not only did he write a biography of Sri Ramakrishna, he dreamt?of a grand religious harmony which he?laid bare in the following words: 'This conscious sense of the presence of God is indeed a common ground on which we may hope that in time not too distant the great temple of the future will be erected in which the Hindus and?non-Hindus may join hands and hearts in worshipping the?Supreme Spirit.' According to Nirad C.Chaudari, Max?Muller's last twenty-five years were a living illustration of the vanaprastha he had described.It seems he was referring to himself when he wrote to?Renan in 1877:'Only it is not enough to translate them[the Upanishads?and the?Vedanta}, they require the shoulder of a Christophorous to carry them over the channel of two thousand years that runs between the old Vanaprasthis and us.....................................

( all these correspondence lies in the custody of a nonesense man who demands millions of Rs.? just to give us a short look of all the books and letters) prabhas means the holy land prabhas where lord Somanath was tempted to be stayed as a jyotirlinga. of course i am a devottee and worshiper of lord Somanath mahadev yet my thinking says prabhas is older than somanath. with regards, kamalesh pathak 2009/10/24 hn bhat <hnbha...@gmail.com> The difficult problem is the Scriptures. The answer to the problem?is the meaning of the verse or verses (in the language you understand). Of course as one progresses along the learning curve and becomes scholarly like the folks in this list, then probably one would be able to understand the answer even if it is quoted in Sanskrit. ? If by scripture, the Veda-s are meant, they have been provided tools for learning. Vyakarana, is important one of the tools. Especilally, Pratishakhya section deals with the phonetic laws in Vedic literature. They ?are available Rgveda and Yajurveda (both translated by western scholars long ago.) In the Siddhantakaumudi, the text book of Sanskrit Grammar, for the use of Students, there is a special appendix Vaidikaprakarana. I don't know whether any Indian Scholar had attempted learning this section, even though many claim to be Vedic Scholars. Again, for lexical items, Nirukta of Yaska, (5th Centrudy AD) which lists out the words in the Samhita and other parts arranged in his own order. How many have taken pains to go through the lexicon, before writing anything about the translations of Maxmular and his followers? We have got the commentaries by Skanda Swamy (the earliest one), Sayana, Madhvacharya and other?teachers.?This is a bare fact.? This answers, I hope why we need translations as a shortcut to going through and mastering the use of these tools. Scholars may differ. For the criticism of Maxmular and others as imperialistic movement, somebody had replied in another forum, are we not falling into the grove of neo socialist movement (with editing and preserving the works)? I also had come across a strong movement against colonial theory of Aryan Invasion as invalid and a product of British Imperialist Indologists to establish the supremacy of Westerners over Indians. A Linguist like MM Deshpande, stayed neutral in the discussion. There was a discussion among the linguists also defending and opposing the views. Dr. Dhananjay might have been aware of the movement.

What is the reason to want to use vidhi ling here? The thing is that a tense often goes beyond representing the time of an event. For example, look at the following: Q: How does he exercise? A: He walks his dog. 'Walks' here is strictly present tense. Yet, it is used here to represent something repetitive. He walks his dog today, tomorrow, and so on. It's best to resort to simple answers.

That cannot be further from the truth. Rajiv Malhotra has an excellent article related to Indology and liberal-art academics: http://www.sulekha.com/adcreatives/GoogleAM/Roadblock/default3.aspx?refadv=http://rajivmalhotra.sulekha.com/blog/post/2002/07/the-axis-of-neocolonialism.htm Brahmi script was obviously put there by someone before Prinsep could decode. I could go into responding to comments on this trail- but that will only digress us from the objectives of this list. The issues related to indology have been hashed/rehashed numerous times on other fora. I would prefer that this list focus on Samskritam rather than on the indology aspects. Atleast that way one wont have to bear all this sanctimoniusness. subrahmanya From: vsa...@bigpond.com To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:20:27 +1100 Subject: Re: [Sanskrit] Request for 'Easier Texts' (Resources) In support of European scholars, I would like to draw attention to A?oka's rock edict XII inscribed in 300 BC in the Brahmi script which says: "For whosoever praises his own sect or blames other sects - all this out of devotion to his own sect (ie) with a view to glorifying his own sect, if he is acting thus, he injures his own sect severely (Line H)". It may also be noted that the Brahmi script was first deciphered in 1837 by James Prinsep although it these pillars and rocks had been seen by Indians for 2000 years. Vimala From: sanskrit-boun...@cs.utah.edu [mailto:sanskrit-boun...@cs.utah.edu] On Behalf Of Phillip Hill Sent: Tuesday, 27 October 2009 10:43 AM To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu Subject: Re: [Sanskrit] Request for 'Easier Texts' (Resources) Mr. Goldberg, I tend to strongly agree with you. See Vol. 2, chapter 17 of the book A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom by A.D. White. Another curiosity is that Friedrich Max Muller is listed as a member of an elite group on page 21 of the book The Anglo - American Establishment by Carroll Quigley. Bryan Hill Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:37:56 -0700 From: leegoldberg2...@yahoo.com To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu Subject: Re: [Sanskrit] Request for 'Easier Texts' (Resources) I was interested enough in seeing the basis for this statement (the one that begins with "it is well known") to look up those authors up on Wikipedia and follow the links a couple of steps. It seems that there is indeed a basis for viewing them as "Orientalists" biased against their subject matter, but the statement that their aim was "primarily to discredit hinduism and to make it easier for priests to convert Indians to christianity" seems wildly exaggerated. What I found was that Monier-Williams did indeed make a statement to the effect that he hoped Hindus would convert to Christianity (I don't know whether his scholarly work was as dogmatic as that statement), but that Mueller seems to have been a liberal-minded scholar of comparative religion and only with effort managed to maintain the Lutheran church membership of his German youth. Mueller seems to have been guilty of considering a liberal version of Christianity more sophisticated than other religions, but he woul d probably have rated vedanta philosophers pretty high on the evolutionary scale, as well. (The claim that he dismissed Hinduism as "nature religion" is inaccurate. It was early Vedic religion, and its analogues in other cultures, that he said personified forces of nature, such as wind and fire and thunder, later to settle upon the idea of one dominant god, etc.) From: Sudarshan Rao <drsrsudars...@gmail.com> To: Sanskrit Mailing List <sanskrit@cs.utah.edu> Sent: Wed, October 21, 2009 11:40:42 PM Subject: Re: [Sanskrit] Request for 'Easier Texts' (Resources) It is well known that Max Mueller, Monier Williams and some other german and british scholars began learning sanskrit primarily to discredit hinduism and to make it easier for priests to convert Indians to christianity. But as one trying to brush up his sanskrit, I find that no hindu writer has given the grammatical analysis of every word in a text as Monier Williams has done in Nalopakhyana and Max Meuller has done in his Hitopadesha, and Lanman has done in his reader. I have read texts which have been edited and translated by stalwarts like Kale, Telang and many others, and find that for a person interested in really learning sanskrit, Monier Williams, Max Meuller and Lanman are the best!
