Language of the Snakes traces the history of the Prakrit language as a literary phenomenon, starting from its cultivation in courts of the Deccan in the first centuries of the common era. Although little studied today, Prakrit was an important vector of the kavya movement and once joined Sanskrit at the apex of classical Indian literary culture. The opposition between Prakrit and Sanskrit was at the center of an enduring “language order” in India, a set of ways of thinking about, naming, classifying, representing, and ultimately using languages. As a language of classical literature that nevertheless retained its associations with more demotic language practices, Prakrit both embodies major cultural tensions—between high and low, transregional and regional, cosmopolitan and vernacular—and provides a unique perspective onto the history of literature and culture in South Asia.

In Hindu India both orality and sonality have enjoyed great cultural significance since earliest times. They have a distinct influence on how people approach texts. The importance of sound and its perception has led to rites, models of cosmic order, and abstract formulas. Sound serves both to stimulate religious feelings and to give them a sensory form. Starting from the perception and interpretation of sound, the authors chart an unorthodox cultural history of India, turning their attention to an important, but often neglected aspect of daily religious life. They provide a stimulating contribution to the study of cultural systems of perception that also adds new aspects to the debate on orality and literality.

Swami Yogeshwaranand Saraswati was a great yogi of his time who had attained perfect mastery over Samadhi. His knowledge of self and God is based on the intuitive experiences he gained in deep meditation. Although he followed the Samkhya-Yoga systems of Philosophy, he deviated from their concepts wherever he experienced truth differently in his meditative vision. His views about the Vrittis and Samskaras are radically different from what is believed by the Samkhya School of Philosophy. In this present book, the author has analysed and discussed some of the most radical aspects of the Philosophy of Swami Yogeshwaranand. His approach is critical but he is also appreciative of some of the findings of Swami Yogeshwaranand which have enriched the Samkhya Philosophy or have contributed to the removal of cobwebs surrounding the conventional systems to augment the existing knowledge. He has done a commendable job of giving exposure to Philosophy or which has contributed to the removal of cobwebs surrounding the conventional systems to augment the existing knowledge. He has done a commendable job of giving exposure to the Philosophy of Swami Yogeshwaranand on the one hand and enlarging the scope of research and analysis of some of the fundamental characteristics of Samkhya thought.
