Abstract:
My Affair with Radha, the debut work of Kunal Desai is the dedication to his readers who firmly believe in the divine couple Radha and Krishna. The intention of the author was to spread the awareness of the significance of divine love to the world through the example of Radha and Krishna who remain to be the epitome of transcendental oneness. The human life that has been influenced in multiple ways throughout the life time, fails to overcome the temptations and eventually ends up in misery. A solution to all the misery in the world is to experience the feeling of oneness from within, which uplifts the individual from selfishness to selflessness and eventually the individual feels empathy towards all things. A world with such human beings with the feeling of oneness, will obviously be in harmony and without any miseries.

Abstract:
This article analyses how Radha was depicted in miniature paintings between the 16th and 19th century in North India. Interrogating the link between text and image, contrasting poetry, style and historical settings with the visual representations of this central figure, the reflections focus on the changing nature of Radha. Through various examples from miniature paintings of different periods and schools, this article analyses the way the rich personality of Radha was transposed into images. In order to stress the changes brought to this female figure, she will be compared to Krishna, the masculine figure who is always at her side. The main goal of the article is to show the normative power of images on the figure of Radha, with normativity being understood as the simplification, iconisation, aestheticisation and stereotypification of a figure with polysemous references.

Abstract:
AbstractThis essay reports on an aspect of Ghana's emerging Hindu religious experience; the localizing of the worship of Krishna, a Hindu deity and a globally circulating emblem of spirituality, in the context of the Radha-Govinda temple community in Accra, Ghana's capital. Representing the Ghanaian portion of International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), this community seeks to perpetuate the Caitanyite Vaisnava heritage in this African worshipping society by implementing its policy of 'Hinduizing' local communities. Local worshippers are receptive to this new religion but do not succumb to the pressure to become Hindus in ISKCON's sense. They are resilient and invest this cultural import with local religious meanings, pressing its rituals into service as spiritual ammunition as they respond to pre-existing challenges and the new limitations that contemporary social transformations have imposed on them. The essay demonstrates how the meanings of lay practitioners who we often assume to be powerless, rather than ISKCON and its powerful local elite agents, largely shape the trajectory of the worship of Krishna in Ghana.

Abstract:
Inspired by Victor Turner's concepts of structure and communitas, this article commences with an analysis of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas - worshipers of Radha, and Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu followers. Secondly, we present data from ethnographic research conducted with South American devotees on pilgrimage to the ceremonial center ISCKON in Mayapur, West Bengal, during the year 1996, for a resumption of those initial considerations. The article seeks to demonstrate that the ritual injunction characteristic of Hindu sects, only makes sense from the individual experience of each devotee.

Abstract:
There is very less information on bats in Nepal. Pokhara valley provides suitable habitat for both microchiroptera and mega-chiroptera. This valley has variable topographical features and climatic conditions, which is favorable for bats. A two week long observation was carried out on bats and their roosting sites in December 2010 and February 2011. Eleven roosting sites were observed and three species of bat were captured from different roosting sites. Mist net and Gully net were used to capture the bats. Bats in Chamero Gupha were counted and found to have density of 94.57 per sq. meter; population of Pteropus giganteus was counted in Radha Krishna Tole.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent studies of Asian religious traditions have critiqued Western philosophical understandings of mind–body dualism and furthered the productive notion of mind–body continuum. Based on intensive fieldwork among two kinds of devotional groups of Bengal—claimants to an orthodox Vaishnavism, who focus on participating in the erotic sports of the Hindu deity-consort Radha-Krishna in imagination and a quasi-tantric group, which claims to physically apprehend Radha-Krishna's erotic pleasures through direct sexual experience—I demonstrate that, although these devotional groups stress on combating theologies, with emphases respectively on the ‘mind’ and the ‘body’, in their narrations of religious experiences, however, both groups allude to rarefied phenomenological states of cognition and embodiment. So, while influenced by ideas of (mental) ‘purity’ and (bodily) ‘actuality’, respectively, practices of both groups rely on similar states of mind–body continuum. So I argue that the mind–body complex has intensely nuanced articulations in the discursive and experiential domains of these non-Western religious contexts. Through my analyses of the texts and embodiments of these opposed devotional groups, I show that theology gets both organically entangled with as well as challenged by phenomenological experiences. I further argue that explorations in the tenor of religious studies sharply enrich the anthropology of religiosities. Also, such engagements between theology and anthropology have been relatively lacking and need more emphasis in studies of contemporary South Asian religions.

Abstract:
Chromolaena odorata is one of the widely distributed invasive alien plants in the tropical to subtropical regions of Nepal. It has the ability to impact native species in its invaded range by multiple modes such as allelopathy including volatilization. This study aims to identify volatile chemical components in the essential oil of C. odorata. The leaf samples of C. odorata were collected from the Radha Krishna Community Forest, Chitwan district of Nepal. The essential oil from the leaves of C. odorata was extracted and the chemical composition of the oil was analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and GC–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). A total of 19 chemical components from the oil were identified. The major components identified were linalool (21.64%); β-pinene (9.43%); 1,3-cycloheptadiene (8.92%); β-cubebene (7%); cinnamaldehyde (5.30%) and caryophyllene oxide (4.94%). O-methoxy cinnamaldehyde and isoeugenyl acetate were not listed by previous studies as the components in the essential oils of C. odorata. The components identified by this study have allelopathic effects on native plant species, anti-herbivory properties, and medicinal values. Therefore, this study could be important to understand plant invasiveness and utilization of the plant for the extraction of bioactive compounds may contribute to control and manage the plants in the invaded areas.

Abstract:
My thesis, the novel ‘The Golden Milkmaid’ and its exegesis, comprise an original contribution to knowledge in that it is the practice-led research of a female Gaudiya writer analysing the process of writing bhakti (devotion to divinity) from within the academy. Gaudiya Vaishnavism is a significant strand of Hinduism liked in India, among the Indian diaspora, and beyond the Indian demograph globally. Yet inevitably, Gaudiya practice, process and aesthetics are being altered during transmission and now, time-honoured the traditions have become vanishingly rare. My work is a written record from an insider-observer perspective. ‘The Golden Milkmaid’ is an account of one young woman’s spiritual journey from Australia to India, to a hermitage of Gaudiya women, worshipers of goddess Kishori (the golden milkmaid) and her paramour, the god Krishna. One of these women becomes the protagonist’s spiritual mentor. The major part of the book represents the protagonist immersing herself in Gaudiya life. Celebrated Kishori-Krishna narratives embedded throughout the novel are re-presented as ‘real’, sacrosanct, and the very sustenance and sanctuary of believers’ lives. A retelling of asta-kaliya-leela (pastimes at the eight watches of the day) derived from the traditional Gaudiya narrative/literary/ritual/meditational scaffolding, is presented as a work that the characters are translating into English. The narrative flashes back to the protagonist’s relatives in Australia to reveal how they feel about her living in India and her new beliefs. An exchange of letters is also interleaved. When her mother is taken ill, the central character returns to her family, changed. The exegesis is in three parts. Part I, Neti Neti (Not this, not that), compares and contrasts ‘The Golden Milkmaid’ to relevant works in the closest possible genres of contemporary Australian literature to put forward that the work stands alone. Part II, Devi (Goddess), explores the connection between believer, land, and sacred stories about the land; it describes the realities of the lives of the ‘widows of Vrindavan’ and it explains the kinship between the novel’s Gaudiya characters. Finally, it elucidates restrictions imposed on Gaudiya women and their creative expression through writing, thus presenting the case for ‘The Golden Milkmaid’ empowering its women characters through text in the midst of a patriarchal cult. Part III, Achintya-bheda-abheda-tattva (the actuality of inconceivable, simultaneous oneness and difference) backgrounds Gaudiya writing so elucidating the context in which ‘Golden Milkmaid’ was conceived. It is divided into five segments that together suggest that the work of a modern-day, independent, female Gaudiya writer both does and does not belong in a Gaudiya genre. This section reflects upon the living spoken and literary Gaudiya tradition in its setting of India’s vast and ancient religion; it acknowledges the rich tradition of Indian aesthetics; it addresses dilemmas in striving to amalgamate literary art and faith and it elucidates the key textual/meditational scaffolding used in the novel. The concluding segment is a reflection on a significant Gaudiya text, Bhaktivinode Thakur’s novel Jaiva-dhama.

Abstract:
This chapter introduces some of the foundational stories related to Mount Govardhan and describes the physical features of the mountain as well as the sacred terrain that surrounds it. For instance, the story of the origin of Mount Govardhan, as told in the Garga Samhita, is a narrative widely known by worshipers of this sacred mountain and central to many theological conceptualizations of its deeper meanings. Perhaps most significant for the latter initiative is that Govardhan consists of the consolidated form of supreme love that emerged out of the bliss-filled hearts of the divine couple Radha and Krishna. There are also stories on how Mount Govardhan came to be situated in Braj. They are narrated in texts and recounted by numerous knowledgeable people residing near the sacred mountain today.

Abstract:
Palakodety Radha Krishna of the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology observed (Synlett 2012, 2814) high stereocontrol in the addition of allyltrimethylsilane to the cyclic imine derived from 1. The product piperidine 2 was carried onto (+)-deoxoprosopinine 3. Glenn C. Micalizio of Scripps Florida condensed (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 15237) the amine 4 with 5. The ensuing intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition led to 6, which was carried onto the Dendrobates alkaloid (–)-205B 7. Pei-Qiang Huang of Xiamen University showed (Org. Lett. 2012, 14, 4834) that the quaternary center of 9 could be established with high diastereoselectivity by activation of the lactam 8, then sequential addition of two different Grignard reagents. Subsequent stereoselective intramolecular aldol condensation led to FR901843 10. More recently, Professor Huang, with Hong-Kui Zhang, also of Xiamen University, published (J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78, 455) a full account of this work. In an elegant application of the power of phosphine-catalyzed intermolecular allene cycloaddition, Ohyun Kwon of UCLA added (Chem. Sci. 2012, 3, 2510) 12 to the imine 11 to give 13. The cyclization elegantly set two of the four stereogenic centers of (+)-ibophyllidine 14. Tohru Fukuyama of the University of Tokyo initiated (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2012, 51, 11824) a cascade cyclization between the enone 15 and the chiral auxiliary 16. The product lactam 17 was carried onto (–)-lycoposerramine-S 18. Mark Lautens explored (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2012, 134, 15572) the utility of the intramolecular aryne ene reaction, as illustrated by the cyclization of 19 to 20. Oxidation cleavage of the vinyl group of 20 followed by an intramolecular carbonyl ene reaction led to (±)-crinine 21.
