On the architecture of Sri Ramakrishna Temple at Mylapore in Chennai.
This booklet is an edited version of the article 'From a Small Shrine to the Universal Temple' by Swami Ananyananda published in Consecration Ceremony Souvenir released during the consecration ceremony of the new Universal Temple at Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai in the year 2000. Swami Ananyananda, the former editor of Prabuddha Bharata, brings out the historical journey of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai from its humble origins at Flora Cottage (near Vivekanandar Illam), where Swami Ramakrishnananda installed a small picture of Sri Ramakrishna he had brought with him, to its present-day location in Mylapore. This book will be of great value to the devotees and well-wishers of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai and to those who wish to learn about its history.
This book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India is a representative compilation of Swami Vivekananda’s teachings from the Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda covering the wide spectrum of his teachings. We hope the present volume gives the reader an idea of the vastness of Swami Vivekananda's mind and also inspires the reader to realize the divine within through knowledge, devotion, mind-control and service to fellow beings.
This book “Facets of Contemporary History”is a selection of research papers, presented in the International Conference on Contemporary History which was held on 30th and 31st January 2015. This conference was organized by the Department of History, Tourism and Travel Management, Ethiraj College for Women, Chennai. It gives us great pleasure to put together a selection of the papers for the public in the form of a book in the interest of research. Contemporary History refers to the history of the immediate past or that which can be expected to remain in living memory. While there are areas of history which have branched off from contemporary history such as social history and economic history this conference took a very broad look at contemporary events from not just a historical but also a social science perspective. This Book contains 6 Sections namely Political History, Socio-Cultural History, Gender, Economic History, Environment and Tourism. We would like to place on record the Management of the college for the moral and financial support extended in the conduct of the Conference and in the production of the book. Thanks are due to our respected Chairman of the Trust Board, Mr. V.M.Muralidharan for all his support and encouragement. Heartfelt thanks are due to Prof.Dr.Karu. Nagarajan Member Secretary, TAMIL NADU STATE COUNCIL FOR HIGHER EDUCATION for their generous financial Assistance towards the conduct of the Conference. We would be failing in our duty if we do not thank the faculty of the Department of History, Tourism and Travel Management for their support and encouragement in the conduct of the Conference.
In a metropolis where customs are paramount, humility essential, the evil-eye feared and showing-off considered distasteful, how do people navigate the streams of tradition and modernity? How does the self form a lasting equation with the city? Some do it with ease, some with effort, but they all have a special love for the city - for a tradition they find organic and lived; for the co-existence of various religions; for the distinct sense of community and neighbourhoods; for the spacious inner life. In Madras, Chennai and the Self: Conversations with the City, Tulsi Badrinath creates a layered image of Chennai by sifting through her memories, and by narrating the stories of those who call it home - the current Prince of Arcot, Dalit writer and activist P Sivakami, superstar Vikram and karate-expert K Seshadri, among others. In their words come alive key aspects of the city - the fine beaches along the Bay of Bengal, Fort St. George, coconut and mango trees, jasmine stalls, cricket fever, classical music and dance, the twin temptations of idli and dosai, temple crowds and radical political movements.
This book presents the insights, philosophic symbolism and significance involved in the architecture of Hindu temples which are meticulously presented through texts, sketches, illustrations and figures. The book explores the origin and evolution of temples and the evolution of different architectural styles of the temples in northern and southern parts of India in different periods of history. The author, G. Venkataramana Reddy, a renowned architect, has also analysed the architectural symbolism of modern religious movements, including the Ramakrishna Math and Mission. The book will be of great value to the connoisseurs of Indian art and architecture and also to the general public interested in acquiring a detailed outline about the symbolism and architectural heritage of the Hindu temples.
