Help needed on Material re: Adishankara

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Namaste all members,

 

Swami Sri Shankara Bharati, pontiff of an ancient Advaitic Mutt

located in Yedathore, Mysore district, Karnataka, is a seer with a

noble vision. He has engaged himself in a number of activities in

spreading the message of Adishankara in a variety of programmes. He

is trying to collect information on whatever material is available

on Shankara (especially on His personality, His philosophy, etc.)in

the form of books, articles, talks, etc. in any language.

 

This is an appeal to all members to help in this endeavour. I

request each of you to inform me about:

 

1. Books on Shankara (in any language, Indian (Sanskrit, Tamil,

Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya, etc..) as well

as others like English, German, French, Spanish, etc.)

 

2. Individual articles/chapters on Shankara forming part of some

book even non-related to Shankara.

 

3. Talks (in audio/print form) on Shankara delivered in any

language. It is possible that some of the popular Swamis like Sw.

Chinmayananda, Dayananda Saraswati, Paramarthananda, Vivekananda,

etc. have written/lectured on Shankara. Some scholars would have

presented papers, given talks in seminars,etc. All this would be

useful in my search.

 

4. Even posts that have appeared in various like Advaitin,

etc. on Shankara. (For example, on the occasion of the previous

Shankara Jayanti I had posted some articles, one of them a

reproduction of what had appeared in The Hindu.) Even picture-story

types normally addressed to children could be included.

 

5. Any other literature on Shankara, even if they are critical of

Him.

 

The information on the above may pl. be sent to me privately. The

purpose of making this appeal is to reach the maximum number of

people. It is possible that there are items mentioned in any of the

above categories that have not found a place on the internet.

Information on such items can be best given by those of you who have

seen/read them and have those books/articles with you.

 

Links can be given to those items available on the net. Information

regarding other publications can be given with title, name of

author, publisher, place where it is available, price, etc.

Articles/chapters could also be scanned and sent to me as

attachments.

 

I once again appeal to all the members to help me in this work that

i have undertaken at the behest of the good-natured Swami who

proposes to perhaps exhibit these materials and finally create a

database for future uses/research. I am dependent on the collective

abilities of all of you keeping in view my own poor searching

abilities. Members who are non-Indian nationals can help with

information on Shankara in non-Indian languages, apart from English.

 

I particularly name esteemed members: Sarva-Shri Sundar Hattangadi,

Prof.VK, Ram Chandran, Ananda Wood, Dennis Waite, Madathil Nair,

Kathirasan and Madam Dhyanasaraswati. The others who come to my

mind are Dr. Shyam, Dr.Yadu, Ramesh Krishnamurty, Sundar Rajan AV,

Peter, Michael, Felipe, etc. Even the others whom i have not named

may kindly help in this good cause. As and when you come across

something that will be of use in this search, pl. mail that info. to

me.

 

With warm regards to all,

subbu

Dear Subbu-ji,

 

That's a very worthwhile pursuit.

 

I wonder if you could upload a file of the material to the list (if

moderators allow) - as you gather it. Or perhaps there could be a central

source ( a work in progress ) that people could visit and the see if they

have any thing to add. It might just prevent people spending time only to

duplicate information already received. There is already quite a lot of

material listed on the net, on web pages, bibiographys & so on work.

 

Best wishes,

 

Peter

Namaste All,

 

Further to my post in msg.no. 34120, the following information has

been made available to me on the above search. I sincerely thank all

these friends and members Shri Dennis Waite and Shri Sunder

Hattangadi for the pains taken by them.

 

Warm regards,

// I have searched and found out the

references about Shankaracharya in the works of Swami Vivekananda. I

have

given them in the footnote.

 

If you want the full text of these references you can get it in

http://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info. You can make use of the

search

facility provided in the site.

 

Apart from these Swami Siddeshwaranandaji used to give lectures on

shankara bhashya in france. Some articles you can get at our site

http://www.sriramakrishnamath.org/Magazine/VK/vkarticlecat.asp. Sort

by

author and you will find his article entitled Eternal Message of the

Bhagavad Gita where he quotes extensively from the bhashya of the

acharya. You may get some more article on Bhagavadpada in the same

link.

 

Wish you all the best in the ennobling endeavour to preserve the

works

of our Shankaracharya. Pranams to Swamiji for his benevolent effort

too.
