The Ancient Indian game of Kho Kho has been labelled 'the greatest sport you've never heard of'. It might not have the star power of other sports ....but that hasn't stopped an Australian team making its way to India to take part in the inaugural World Cup. The game has a small and loyal group of players here, and they're hoping to boost Kho Kho's profile. - ਪ੍ਰਾਚੀਨ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਖੇਡ ਖੋ-ਖੋ ਨੂੰ 'ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਮਹਾਨ ਉਹ ਖੇਡ ਜਿਸ ਬਾਰੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੁਣਿਆ' ਦਾ ਦਰਜਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਬੇਸ਼ਕ ਇਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੋਰ ਖੇਡਾਂ ਦੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਪ੍ਰਸਿੱਧ ਸਿਤਾਰੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਨ, ਪਰ ਇਸ ਗੱਲ ਨੇ ਵੀ ਆਸਟਰੇਲੀਆਈ ਟੀਮ ਨੂੰ ਭਾਰਤ ਜਾ ਕੇ ਪਹਿਲੇ ਵਰਲਡ ਕੱਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਿੱਸਾ ਲੈਣ ਤੋਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਰੋਕਿਆ। ਇਸ ਖੇਡ ਦੇ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੀ ਥੋੜੇ ਪਰ ਵਫਾਦਾਰ ਖਿਡਾਰੀ ਹਨ, ਜੋ ਖੋ-ਖੋ ਦੀ ਪਛਾਣ ਨੂੰ ਵਧਾਉਣ ਅਤੇ ਉਤਸ਼ਾਹਿਤ ਕਰਨ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ਾਂ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ।

Are there similarities between ancient Indian astrology and modern science? Great scientists like Newton, Galileo, and Kepler found parallels with the principles of Indian astrology. Ancient Indian texts have a deep understanding of astrology and mathematical concepts that align with modern science today. Does this mean we need to revisit ancient knowledge and consider its relevance? Even the Supreme Court and High Court have recognized astrology as a subject of study.

In this episode, we embark on an enlightening journey through ancient Indian history, exploring engineering marvels, advanced medicinal knowledge, and profound mysteries that continue to intrigue us. We begin by discussing the incredible engineering feats of ancient India. From the majestic Buddha statue in Hussain Sagar, which took years to build and transport, to the awe-inspiring Kailasa Temple, constructed from top to bottom, showcasing an unparalleled architectural genius. The Bruhadeshwara Temple, with its 1200-ton rock placed atop the garbhagriha, stands as a testament to the advanced technology of that era. This temple, remarkably, casts no shadow at noon, adding to its mystique. We delve into the story of Aurangzeb's failed attempt to destroy the Kailasa Temple and the intricate design of Ayodhya's Bramharamba Temple, where sunlight falls directly on the deity's statue. We'll also explore the Arasavalli Sun Temple, the Chaya Someshwara Temple with its stable shadow, and the legendary Kailash Nath Temple, known for its South Indian sculptures. The iron pillar (Vijaya Stambham) and its unique construction, the astronomical significance of Qutub Minar, and the sprawling Srirangam Temple complex with its seven concentric enclosures, all highlight the unparalleled engineering prowess of ancient India. Why were temples built? We explore this question, shedding light on the multifaceted roles of temples in ancient society. Temples were not just places of worship but served as cultural hubs, fostering art forms, and community gatherings. The concept of gods as village kings and the state of mind of the people back then is discussed. We also delve into the five principles to follow before entering a temple and the rationale behind these practices. Temples were instrumental in promoting cultural integrity, both nationally and internationally, and their tranquil ambiance is a testament to their spiritual significance. India's ancient metallurgical knowledge was unparalleled. The Beeluru Halebidu sculptures and the tools used for their creation remain a mystery. Indian swords were renowned for their strength and craftsmanship. We discuss Alexander's invasion and how ancient Indians made gold out of chemicals, highlighting the advanced knowledge of chemistry and metallurgy. We also touch upon Ongolu Gitta and Gorellu, crossbreeds created in ancient Indian laboratories, and the medicinal knowledge that turned poison into amrutham. Ayurvedam and Vedic mathematics are discussed, along with the mention of ships in Rugvedham and the nail cutter in Atharva Veda. Ancient India was a pioneer in medical science. The first recorded plastic surgery, where a nose was reattached, was documented in England's House of Commons. The seasonal food planning, modern lifestyle adaptations, and the resilience against diseases like chickenpox and smallpox are discussed. The story of George Washington's death and the use of ancient Indian medical practices in modern times highlight the importance of knowing our history. We explore the connections between scientific concepts and spiritual practices. The parallels between Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara (proton, neutron, electron), the science behind the Shivalingam, and the concept of the nuclear reactor are discussed. The Pushkaralu festival, which started as a knowledge transfer hub, the scientific explanations behind rituals, the Arundhati-Vasishta nakshatras, and the teachings of sex through temples in the absence of media are explored. The Pushpaka Vimana, Vimanika Shastra, and the story of Bapuji Talpade, who flew a plane five years before the Wright brothers, are explored. The ancient texts mentioning gravity long before Newton and the spherical shape of the Earth are discussed. We encourage youngsters to learn about their history and respect the Vedas.

Greg Bailey discusses his new translation of the Gaṇeśa Khaṇḍa of the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, one of the few texts dedicated solely to the popular elephant-headed Indian god Gaṇeśa. About the book: The first two khaas of the Brahmavaivarta Puraa (BvP) deal with Brahma and Prakti respectively. Both introducing the theology that enables Ka to be treated as identical with the supreme Brahma, and as Viu/ Narayaa in all his forms. Ultimately everything goes back to Ka as the source of power and being even including the mother goddesses who are so prolific in the text, not just in its second khaa. The fourth and final khaa treats the mythology of Ka himself, with focus on his birth, and just before this comes the Gaapatikhaa (GKh). GKh is one of the few mahapuraas that includes a separate khaa about Gaesa, with the exceptions being the two Gaapatya Puraas the Gaesa and Mudgala Puraas-and the Vinayakamahatmya of the Skanda Puraa. When one reads the other three khaas of the Puraa, it is clearly evident that the GKh fits in perfectly with the principal themes of the entire Puraa, all associated with Ka in his various manifestations and the theology of the mother goddess, especially Radha and Durga. In addition, it continues the practice in many of its chapter of expositing the application of kavacas, dhyanas, mantras and stotras, to the extent that the text is almost a handbook of devotional ritual. What is striking about the GKh is that it is only incidentally about Gaesa. Only less than ten percent of the entire text deals directly with Gaesa. It touches tangentially on his birth, the loss of his head and the gaining of an elephant head, his status as first to be worshipped in all pujas, his loss of one of his tasks at the hands of parasurama, and his cursing of the Tulasi Plant. The second half of the GKh is essentially a version of the Parasurama myth. This begins with the intention to tell as well-known episode about Gaesa reflected in his common name Ekadanta. This certainly offers a unique interpretation of its, focusing as it does on the morality of patricide and regicide, and relations between boys and their mothers. Ka is treated in a manner that can only be called theological. Theologically it is simply stating that all power is located in Viu/ Ka, but in this khaa it is seemingly extended much more than elsewhere. In addition, he is usually depicted as located in Goloka and Vdavana, with the bucolic ka receiving most emphasis in the next. The sakti teachings in this text blend constantly with the Kaite teachings, to the point that both seem to empower each other. That ka looms large is hardly a surprise given the BvP is substantially a Kaite Puraa of 14th – 15th century Bengal and then it could not have omitted existing material on the sakti, given the importance of other goddess worship in Bengal. There have been two previous translations of the Brahmavaivarta Puraa. The present translation is a fresh translation but the translator has subsequently compared it with the earlier translations to remain transparent to the Sanskrit itself. Raj Balkaran is a scholar of Sanskrit narrative texts. He teaches at the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies and at his own virtual School of Indian Wisdom. For information see rajbalkaran.com.

GKh is one of the few mahapuraas that includes a separate khaa about Gaesa, with the exceptions being the two Gaapatya Puraas the Gaesa and Mudgala Puraas-and the Vinayakamahatmya of the Skanda Puraa. When one reads the other three khaas of the Puraa, it is clearly evident that the GKh fits in perfectly with the principal themes of the entire Puraa, all associated with Ka in his various manifestations and the theology of the mother goddess, especially Radha and Durga. In addition, it continues the practice in many of its chapter of expositing the application of kavacas, dhyanas, mantras and stotras, to the extent that the text is almost a handbook of devotional ritual. What is striking about the GKh is that it is only incidentally about Gaesa. Only less than ten percent of the entire text deals directly with Gaesa. It touches tangentially on his birth, the loss of his head and the gaining of an elephant head, his status as first to be worshipped in all pujas, his loss of one of his tasks at the hands of parasurama, and his cursing of the Tulasi Plant. The second half of the GKh is essentially a version of the Parasurama myth. This begins with the intention to tell as well-known episode about Gaesa reflected in his common name Ekadanta. This certainly offers a unique interpretation of its, focusing as it does on the morality of patricide and regicide, and relations between boys and their mothers. Ka is treated in a manner that can only be called theological. Theologically it is simply stating that all power is located in Viu/ Ka, but in this khaa it is seemingly extended much more than elsewhere. In addition, he is usually depicted as located in Goloka and Vdavana, with the bucolic ka receiving most emphasis in the next. The sakti teachings in this text blend constantly with the Kaite teachings, to the point that both seem to empower each other. That ka looms large is hardly a surprise given the BvP is substantially a Kaite Puraa of 14th – 15th century Bengal and then it could not have omitted existing material on the sakti, given the importance of other goddess worship in Bengal. There have been two previous translations of the Brahmavaivarta Puraa. The present translation is a fresh translation but the translator has subsequently compared it with the earlier translations to remain transparent to the Sanskrit itself.

Greg Bailey discusses his new translation of the Gaṇeśa Khaṇḍa of the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, one of the few texts dedicated solely to the popular elephant-headed Indian god Gaṇeśa. About the book: The first two khaas of the Brahmavaivarta Puraa (BvP) deal with Brahma and Prakti respectively. Both introducing the theology that enables Ka to be treated as identical with the supreme Brahma, and as Viu/ Narayaa in all his forms. Ultimately everything goes back to Ka as the source of power and being even including the mother goddesses who are so prolific in the text, not just in its second khaa. The fourth and final khaa treats the mythology of Ka himself, with focus on his birth, and just before this comes the Gaapatikhaa (GKh). GKh is one of the few mahapuraas that includes a separate khaa about Gaesa, with the exceptions being the two Gaapatya Puraas the Gaesa and Mudgala Puraas-and the Vinayakamahatmya of the Skanda Puraa.

Se 02 Ep 05 Tonight on the Exiled Minds Podcast we will take a look at a very ancient set of peoples from the South Asia region, who seem to be connected to ancient Africa. And with the South African gold mining having so much mystery attached to it, as we found in the Adam's Calendar episode; this raises the questions: What commonalities are there? Do they have an ancestral connection? And how if at all are they connected to the gold mining in South Africa are there more clues to understanding what was happening back then?

When it comes to epic poetry, there's a strong case to be made that the Ancient Indian story the Mahābhārata is the most epic. Clocking in at around 100,000 verses, the Mahābhārata is roughly seven times The Iliad and The Odyssey combined. This foundational Hindu text tells the story of a war between two sets of cousins who are fighting over who gets to rule their kingdom. The text is said to contain the universe, but it is best to leave it unfinished. Bad things are said to befall those who read it from beginning to end. Nell Shapiro Hawley is the Preceptor in Sanskrit at Harvard University and is the co-editor of Many Mahābhāratas (forthcoming from SUNY Press), a collection of eighteen essays on retellings of the Mahābhārata across South Asian languages and literary genres.

Ramsey recalls that while growing up in the Mississippi Delta the only notable topography was in the form of ancient indian mounds scattered about an otherwise flat landscape. When were they built and by whom? How'd those people live and what became of them?  Retired archaeologist Sam Brookes spent his career studying prehistoric Mississippian Indian cultures and takes Ramsey on a whirlwind tour spanning 13,000 years, explaining why these mounds were built, why they possibly represented the zenith of pre-American civilization, what they hunted--and what hunted them--interesting digs and much more. As well, Brookes describes what explorer Hernando Desoto found and what that expedition left in its wake.

Welcome to the file room, where we keep all prior episodes of The Q Files. You may have heard this episode previously, but it's worth another listen while we work on bringing you fantastic new episodes. Ancient Indian Burial Grounds - Oh My! was originally a Thanksgiving episode of The Q Files, in it we examined the American pop-culture trope of "Ancient Indian Burial Grounds" and how it has deeply woven its way into countless horror films and books since the late 1970s. We'll investigate how it even seems to have infiltrated the oral histories of our local communities and how it undeniably influences our own individual attempts to explain the unexplainable around us, often,  even,  when it happens in our own backyards. We were lucky enough to get writer Colin Dickey to talk with us. He is the author of four books, two of which we will discuss here, "Ghostland" published in 2016 and "The Unidentified" released just this year. Both of his books thoroughly break down the roots and causes of tropes like the Ancient Indian Burial Grounds. Dickey is a regular contributor to the LA Review of Books, and is the co-editor of The Morbid Anatomy Anthology. He is also a member of the Order of the Good Death, a collective of artists, writers, and death industry professionals interested in improving the Western world's relationship with mortality.   And Dickey's own website describes him as a....  "Cultural Historian and Tour Guide of the Weird." The Q Files is a personal, purposeful, paranormal podcast about the highly strange and weirdly unknown. Join us on our queer adventures as we explore the people, places, and phenomena, outside popular consciousness. The documentary series features astonishing stories about the paranormal, the supernatural, occulture, forgotten history, and the strange. Be Weird. Stay Curious. These are The Q Files.

Today I talked to Patrick Olivelle about his book Grhastha: The Householder in Ancient Indian Religious Culture (Oxford UP, 2019). For scholars of ancient Indian religions, the wandering mendicants who left home and family for a celibate life and the search for liberation represent an enigma. The Vedic religion, centered on the married household, had no place for such a figure. The central finding of these studies is that the householder bearing the name grhastha is not simply a married man with a family but someone dedicated to the same or similar goals as an ascetic while remaining at home and performing the economic and ritual duties incumbent on him. The grhastha is thus not a generic householder, for whom there are many other Sanskrit terms, but a religiously charged concept that is intended as a full-fledged and even superior alternative to the concept of a religious renouncer.
