प्रिय श्रोतागण,आज 249वी पुलियाबाज़ी पर एक अनूठे विषय पर चर्चा प्रस्तुत है। हम ने लोकनीति, टेक्नोलॉजी और सांस्कृतिक विषयों पर काफ़ी बातचीत की है, लेकिन किसी भी भाषा के साहित्य पर बहुत ज़्यादा चर्चा नहीं हुई है।  अमित बसोले जी के साथ भक्ति मार्ग के विषय पर बात करते वक़्त कुछ भक्ति काव्य की बात हुई थी, पर उस चर्चा में मुख्य विषय अलग था। आज की चर्चा का विषय अनूठा है क्योंकि हम ऐसे दो विषयों पर बात करेंगे जिन पर आम तौर पर पुलियाबाज़ी पर चर्चा नहीं होती—प्रेम कविता और संस्कृत! चौंक गए ना? अक्सर, हम भारत की प्राचीन भाषाओं जैसे संस्कृत, प्राकृत और अपभ्रंश के बारे में कई धारणाएँ रखते हैं। हम संस्कृत को शास्त्रों की भाषा मानते हैं, पर यह भूल जाते हैं कि संस्कृत साहित्य में सभी रसों का राजा श्रृंगार है, जो प्रेम का रस है। हम अक्सर अतीत में लोगों के मानदंडों के बारे में धारणाओं से ग्रस्त होते हैं, तो हमने सोचा क्यों न दो संस्कृत के जानकारों से बात की जाए और उनसे ही समझा जाये हमारी प्राचीन भाषाओं और उनमें लिखे गए साहित्य के बारे में? कौन थे वो कवी जो इस साहित्य को लिख रहे थे, कहाँ पर इन कविताओं को पढ़ा जा रहा था? क्या इन प्रेम कविताओं का प्रभाव आज भी हमारे गीत-संगीत और कला में छिपा है? ऐसी कई नयी बातों पर चर्चा संस्कृत प्रेमकाव्य संग्रह के अनुवादक अनुषा राव और सुहास महेश के साथ।Dear Listeners,Next week, Puliyabaazi will reach the milestone of 250 episodes. So far, we have had conversations on various topics in politics, public policy, and technology. We had many discussions on Indian languages and culture. However, we have rarely discussed literature in any language—the closest we may have come to discussing poetry was in our episode with Amit Basole on the Bhakti Movement.Today's topic is unique because it combines two unusual themes on Puliyabaazi—love poetry and Sanskrit! Ahem, who would have thunk! But of course, no topic is barred from Puliyabaazi. Often, we carry many notions about India's ancient literary languages like Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Apabhramsha. We think of Sanskrit only as a language of scriptures, forgetting that the king of all rasās in Sanskrit literature is śṛṅgāra, the rasā of love. We often fall prey to assumptions and lazy thinking about the norms and cultures of the people in the past. So, we spoke with two Sanskrit scholars who have read and studied the language extensively. We learn about the unique features of Sanskrit that lend it to sophisticated jugglery of words. We learn about the poets and the audiences of these verses. We find out what was scandalous? What was not? So sit back and hit that play button right now! We discuss:* Unique features of Sanskrit * Was Prakrit the language of streets?* How do we date these verses?* How were monks writing love poetry?* Mature themes in Sanskrit poetry* The process of curation and translation* What makes the jugglery of words possible in Sanskrit?* Sanskrit during the Mughal era* Adapting Sanskrit to discuss contemporary issues* Influence of Sanskrit poetry on India's literary cultureRead:How to Love in Sanskrit by Anusha Rao and Suhas MaheshRelated Puliyabaazi:भारत, एक भाषा संगम। How have Indian languages evolved? ft.

For this week's “Best of The Literary Life” series episode, we revisit a conversation about George Orwell's essay “Why I Write.” Angelina and Cindy kick off the discussion about how much they each identify with Orwell's description of his childhood. In his story of learning to write, we see many aspects of a good education, even his inclination to imitate other authors. An important point Angelina brings up is Orwell's own struggle against the calling he felt to write, in contrast to having an ambition to do so. Angelina brings up a related story about musician Gregory Alan Isakov, and Cindy reiterates the idea of why we need leisure in order to find our vocation. Cindy and Angelina also bring out some of the qualities Orwell possessed that make a good writer. Maturity as a human being and as a master of a craft are crucial to certain forms of writing, as Orwell points out about his own work. Other topics of conversation include truth-telling in writing, the motives for writing according to Orwell, and the growing process of writers. If you want to find replays of the 2019 Back to School online conference referenced in this episode, you can purchase them in Cindy's shop at MorningTimeforMoms.com. For replays of the How to Love Poetry webinar with Thomas, you can find those at HouseofHumaneLetters.com. Check out the schedule for the podcast's summer episodes on our Upcoming Events page. Commonplace Quotes: Never had she seen it so clearly as on this evening — what destiny had demanded of her and what it had given her in return with her seven sons. Over and over again joy had quickened the beat of her heart; fear on their behalf had rent it in two. They were her children, these big sons with their lean, bony, boy's bodies, just as they had been when they were small and so plump that they barely hurt themselves when they tumbled down on their way between the bench and her knee. They were hers, just as they had been back when she lifted them out of the cradle to her milk-filled breast and had to support their heads, which wobbled on their frail necks the way a bluebell nods on its stalk. Wherever they ended in the world, wherever they journeyed, forgetting their mother– she thought that for her, their lives would be like a current in her own life; they would be one with her, just as they had been when she alone on this earth knew about the new life hidden inside, drinking from her blood and making her cheeks pale. Sigrid Undset, from Kristen Lavransdatter Orwell was a poet who happened to find his medium in prose, a poet not so much in his means of expression as in the nature of his vision, which could strip the sprawling tangle of the world around him down to its core with the simplicity of a timeless flash of intuition. C. M. Wodehouse, from the introduction to Animal Farm Veni, Creator Spiritus by John Dryden Creator Spirit, by whose aid The world's foundations first were laid, Come, visit ev'ry pious mind; Come, pour thy joys on human kind; From sin, and sorrow set us free; And make thy temples worthy Thee. O, Source of uncreated Light,  The Father's promis'd Paraclete!  Thrice Holy Fount, thrice Holy Fire,  Our hearts with heav'nly love inspire;  Come, and thy Sacred Unction bring  To sanctify us, while we sing!  Plenteous of grace, descend from high,  Rich in thy sev'n-fold energy!  Thou strength of his Almighty Hand,  Whose pow'r does heav'n and earth command:  Proceeding Spirit, our Defence,  Who do'st the gift of tongues dispence,  And crown'st thy gift with eloquence!  Refine and purge our earthly parts;  But, oh, inflame and fire our hearts!  Our frailties help, our vice control;  Submit the senses to the soul;  And when rebellious they are grown,  Then, lay thy hand, and hold 'em down.  Chase from our minds th' Infernal Foe;  And peace, the fruit of love, bestow;  And, lest our feet should step astray,  Protect, and guide us in the way.  Make us Eternal Truths receive,  And practise, all that we believe:  Give us thy self, that we may see  The Father and the Son, by thee.  Immortal honour, endless fame,  Attend th' Almighty Father's name:  The Saviour Son be glorified,  Who for lost Man's redemption died:  And equal adoration be,  Eternal Paraclete, to thee.

It distorts reality and humanness, and it gets in the way of good knowing. Esther Lightcap Meek Perhaps it would be a good idea for public statues to be made with disposable heads that can be changed with popular fashion. But even better would surely be to make statues without any heads at all, representing simply the “idea” of a good politician. Auberon Waugh When you can assume that your audience holds the same beliefs you do, you can relax a little and use more normal means of talking to it; when you have to assume that it does not, then you have to make your vision apparent by shock–to the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost blind you use large and startling figures. Flannery O'Connor Reading in War Time by Edwin Muir Boswell by my bed, Tolstoy on my table; Thought the world has bled For four and a half years, And wives' and mothers' tears Collected would be able To water a little field Untouched by anger and blood, A penitential yield Somewhere in the world; Though in each latitude Armies like forest fall, The iniquitous and the good Head over heels hurled, And confusion over all: Boswell's turbulent friend And his deafening verbal strife, Ivan Ilych's death Tell me more about life, The meaning and the end Of our familiar breath, Both being personal, Than all the carnage can, Retrieve the shape of man, Lost and anonymous, Tell me wherever I look That not one soul can die Of this or any clan Who is not one of us And has a personal tie Perhaps to someone now Searching an ancient book, Folk-tale or country song In many and many a tongue, To find the original face, The individual soul, The eye, the lip, the brow For ever gone from their place, And gather an image whole.

In this episode, Major writes… “Art is unequivocal evidence of our sanctity, of our ability to feel, to go beyond forbidden precincts into the depth of our emotions. I wish we would put a moratorium on questions of relevance of the arts and realize the gift of beauty that artists grant. One need not listen to a lecture on the philosophy of glass by a glassblower to know that its functionality and purpose are everywhere, writ on its surface.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Christine de Pizan was the favorite court writer of many of the most important Lords and Ladies of France in the early 1400s. She started her career writing Love Poetry before expanding to writing treatises on Politics, History, Gender, and Theology. In this episode I'll trace her political thought as the Armagnac-Burgundian civil war rages by focusing on three of her writings: The Book of the Body Politic, The Lament on the Evils of Civil War, and The Book of Peace. Check out this episode's page on granddukesofthewest.com for a list of my sources and to read De Pizan's writings for yourself.

Read by Marcus Kirwan"You, Who Never Arrived" by Rainer Maria RilkeA deeply moving and introspective recital of Rainier Maria Rilke's poem, 'You, who never arrived'. The poem is an agonizing address to a beloved who remains ever elusive, never physically present yet continuously palpable in the narrator's world. The loss and longing for this beloved is expressed through vivid imagery, from landscapes and cityscapes to fleeting encounters, resonating a longing and a sense of loss over a lover who was 'lost from the start'. A captivating exploration of unrequited love and longing expressed through beautiful poetic language.

I'm so excited to have Omid Arabian on this week's episode of the Voices of Wisdom Project. Omid is the founder and director of the non-profit YOUniversal Center, where he conducts courses on Eastern Mysticism and Western Philosophy.His translations of Rumi's poetry have been published in three volumes; he is also the author of three children's books inspired by Rumi: The Heart's Garden, The Donkey's Gone!, and the upcoming You Are Everything. In this episode, Omid, my boyfriend Cameron, and I dive deep into the mysticism of ancient Iran, exploring how the timeless wisdom of Rumi, Hafez, Ferdowsi and other Persian spiritual masters can guide us in the deepening of our love and the evolution of our consciousness.  According to Omid, Persian mystical poetry's emphasis on the centrality of love provides us with a relatable doorway through which to enter into higher states of non-dual awareness. Rather than treating these writings as mere intellectual artifacts, Omid encourages us to discover how they may resonate with what we already know deep down in our soul, and then to apply that inner knowing in our own lives.  We also discuss: Approaching ancient writings in their original language  Applying timeless wisdom to the challenges of our time  Taking spiritual masters of the past as our teachers  The meaning of intuition and visionary certainty  Allowing our relationship with Divine Love to soften life's challenges How the gentleness of poetry, and the ambiguity of symbolism, can allow wisdom to penetrate more deeply into the soul And so much more!    To learn more about Omid's courses and publications, you can check out his website here:  https://sites.google.com/site/youniversalcenter/home   And the YOUniversal center's instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/youniversalcenter/

As a young student at Christ's College Cambridge, John Milton announced to the world that he was going to write the greatest poem that the world has ever seen. He didn't want to sit among the epic geniuses Homer and Virgil, he wanted to surpass them. Decades later, Milton wrote Paradise Lost, reworking and embellishing the stories of Adam and Eve's fall from paradise and Satan's fall from heaven to create what is unquestionably the greatest epic poem written in English. Erik Gray is a professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University.

"Stand still, and I will read to thee / A lecture, love, in love's philosophy." John Donne is one of the greatest love poets in the history of the English language. In a new biography, Super-Infinite, Katherine Rundell reveals the many transformations in his life – from scholar to sea adventurer to priest. She also tells Kirsty Wark of his extraordinary ability to transform language into something new. Copies of his Metaphysical Poems will be well-thumbed by students around the country. But what of the power of books in general? In Portable Magic: A History of Books and their Readers, Emma Smith presents an iconoclastic and revisionist story of our love affair with books.

Consider supporting Human Voices Wake us by clicking here. A reading of my favorite of Walt Whitman's love poems. All of them can be found in the two recent books I edited, The Selected Short Poems of Walt Whitman, and The Selected Long Poems of Walt Whitman. Please consider buying these books (they are only $3.99), if you enjoy what you hear in this episode. Following these poems (at 1:06:57), I have inserted a reading from a previous episode on Whitman's love and sex life, from Paul Zweig's book, Walt Whitman: The Making of the Poet. The poems I read are: Selections from “Song of Myself” To You Once I Pass'd through a Populous City Whoever You Are Holding Me Now in Hand Of the Terrible Doubt of Appearances Calamus #8 Calamus #9 When I Heard at the Close of the Day To a Stranger When I Peruse the Conquer'd Fame Thou Reader I Sing the Body Electric Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com. I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/humanvoiceswakeus/support
