| | | | | | Ashtavakra: Encyclopedia II - History of Early Hinduism - Analyzing the History Assessing the history of early Hinduism, involving the birth of its most sacred and fundamental tenets is extremely difficult, as the historical record is ancient, primitive and has endured the vagaries of time. Many links are missing in the chain.
The birth of early Hinduism involves the birth of the nation of India, and thus is intrinsically tied to Indian nationalism and Hindu nationalism. A very prominent perspective and stron ...

| | | | | | | Ashtavakra: Encyclopedia II - Hindu scripture - Post-Vedic Hindu scriptures The new books that appeared afterwards were called Smriti. Smrti literature includes Itihasas (epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata), Puranas (mythological texts), Agamas (theological treatises) and Darshanas (philosophical texts).
The Dharmashastras (law books) are considered by many to form part of the smrti. From time to time great law-givers (eg Manu, Yajnavalkya and Parashara) emerged, who codified existing laws and eliminated obsolete ones to ensure that the Hindu way of life was consistent with both the Vedic spirit a ...

| | | | | Ashtavakra: Encyclopedia II - Hindu scripture - The Bhagavad Gita Many a Hindu has said that the most succinct and powerful abbreviation of the overwhelmingly diverse realm of Hindu thought is to be found in the Bhagavad Gita. Essentially, it is a microcosm of Vedic, Yogic, Vedantic and even Tantric thought of the Hindu fold. Composed between the 5th and 2nd centuries BC, the Bhagavad Gita (literally: Song of the Lord) is a part of the epic poem Mahabharata and is revered in Hinduism. It is not limited to Vaishnavs, as some people incorrectly assume, since it is accepted by Tantrics and non-denominational ...

| | | | | | Ashtavakra: Encyclopedia II - Mahavidya - Worship of Das Mahavidyas In their strong associations with death, violence, pollution, and despised marginal social roles, they call into question such normative social "goods" as worldly comfort, security, respect, and honor. The worship of these goddesses suggests that the devotee experiences a refreshing and liberating spirituality in all that is forbidden by established social orders.
The central aim here is to stretch one's consciousness beyond the conventional, to break away from approved social norms, roles, and expectations. By subverting, mocking, or ...

| | | | | Ashtavakra: Encyclopedia II - Bhagavad Gita - Overview In many ways seemingly a heterogeneous text, the Gita is a reconciliation of many facets and schools of Hindu philosophy of both Brahmanical (i.e., orthodox, Vedic) origin and the parallel ascetic, yogic tradition. It comprises primarily Vedic (as in the four Vedas, as opposed to the Upanishads/Vedanta), Upanishadic, Samkhya and Yoga philosophy. It has stood the test of time, bringing together all four thought systems by taking their largely cohesive, common ideologies and backgrounds int ...
