Podcasts about Maharaja

Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel transformed India's landscapes but faced immense personal struggles. Despite rising to prominence as the Maharaja of Mysore's trusted landscape architect, Krumbiegel suffered greatly during the first and second world wars, enduring hardship and isolation in British-run camps. Krumbiegel's resilience shone through even in adversity. His expertise was so revered that, after Mahatma Gandhi's assassination, the newly independent India entrusted him with landscaping the Raj Ghat memorial in Delhi, a sacred space visited by dignitaries from around the world to this day. Listen as William and Anita delve into Krumbiegel's legacy - a tale of brilliance, resilience, and deep-rooted love for India. Despite facing internment, political shifts, and personal loss, his vision shaped not just gardens but the very essence of India's urban and cultural landscapes. This is the story of a man who, though German by birth, left an indelible mark on India's heart and soil. Many thanks to Vinay Parameswarappa for introducing us to the fascinating story of Gustav Krumbeigel.

Successful Failure | BG 2.48 | Zurich, Switzerland | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

Gustav Hermann Krumbiegel's visionary work transformed the landscapes of India. From humble beginnings in Germany to an apprenticeship at Kew Gardens, Krumbiegel's journey led him to Baroda, where he became the trusted landscape architect of the Maharaja. Designing the iconic Brindavan Gardens, shaping Bangalore's reputation as the “Garden City,” and introducing innovative agricultural practices that supported local economies, Krumbiegel's influence shaped India's botanical future. Krumbiegel's work was not, however, purely focused on aesthetics. He revolutionised urban planning in India, introducing tree censuses, promoting sustainable irrigation systems, and blending traditional Indian gardening with European techniques. His deep respect for local environments and cultures allowed him to create green spaces that felt both timeless and transformative. Listen as William and Anita delve into the life of this unsung hero, whose passion for plants left an enduring imprint on India's landscapes. From royal palaces to public parks, Krumbiegel's story is a testament to how one man's vision can shape the natural and cultural heritage of an entire nation.

This japa is very individual—it's the most individual of all the practices that we do. We have to take personal responsibility for it; nobody else can do it for us. If you go to a kīrtana, somebody else can do it for us—oh, Kadamba Kānana Maharaja tomorrow, he'll just keep it going, and I'll just sit there and go like, "whoa" But with japa, you have to keep it going, and you have to take personal responsibility. There's nobody else there that's going to help you. You have to be the one who takes the sole responsibility. So if we understand this diffusion of responsibility, and if I think there are other factors that define my success, this is another way of looking at it: there are other things that are more important in my life that I have to do that define success. Why would we do anything that didn't bring us some kind of reward? Everything we do, we have some sense that either it's staving off misery or it's going to help me get in a better position where I'll have more money so that I'll be the king of the world, and then I'll stave off misery because I'll have a swimming pool. But if I think like that, then I diffuse the responsibility. I just think, "I'll let something else define me and define my life and define my happiness." So, I can also think, "I'm in an organization; therefore, you know, it's good enough, I got initiated, I'm in an organization, I'm mixing in with other people—I don't have to take personal responsibility." But if I realize that I'm independently responsible to connect with Kṛṣṇa, and nobody else is going to come and help me, then I'll be more diligent. Finally, japa means that we're giving a personal response to Kṛṣṇa. It's very personal—we're responding to Him. And so we looked up the word "respond," and it comes from the word "sponsor," which means to pledge. So when we're responding, we're offering a promise or a pledge, and we're saying it. So you can think of when you're chanting japa, it's a personal pledge to Kṛṣṇa that, "I'm your servant," and we're reinforcing that again and again. So that's what responsibility means. How much impetus do we have to actually respond to Kṛṣṇa? To that degree, we're responsible.

How do traditions and peoples grapple with loss, particularly when it is of such magnitude that it defies the possibility of recovery or restoration? Rajbir Singh Judge offers new ways to understand loss and the limits of history by considering Maharaja Duleep Singh and his struggle during the 1880s to reestablish Sikh rule, the lost Khalsa Raj, in Punjab. Sikh sovereignty in what is today northern India and northeastern Pakistan came to an end in the middle of the nineteenth century, when the British annexed the Sikh kingdom and, eventually, exiled its child maharaja, Duleep Singh, to England. In the 1880s, Singh embarked on an abortive attempt to restore the lost Sikh kingdom. Judge explores not only Singh's efforts but also the Sikh people's responses—the dreams, fantasies, and hopes that became attached to the Khalsa Raj. He shows how a community engaged military, political, and psychological loss through theological debate, literary production, bodily discipline, and ethical practice in order to contest colonial politics. This book argues that Sikhs in the final decades of the nineteenth century were not simply looking to recuperate the past but to remake it—and to dwell within loss instead of transcending it—and in so doing opened new possibilities. Bringing together Sikh tradition, psychoanalysis, and postcolonial thought, Prophetic Maharaja: Loss, Sovereignty, and the Sikh Tradition in Colonial South Asia (Columbia UP, 2024) provides bracing insights into concepts of sovereignty and the writing of history. Arighna Gupta is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His dissertation attempts to trace early-colonial genealogies of popular sovereignty located at the interstices of monarchical, religious, and colonial sovereignties in India and present-day Bangladesh.
