Religion In Ancient Bengal: During Guptas Temples are beeing built for the likes of govindasvami, svetavarAhasvAmI,kokAmukhasvAmI, pradyumneshvara, anantanArAYaNa, and puruSottama. http://tanmoy.tripod.com/bengal/postguptarelig.html
Extractions: During the guptas, we find a lot of brahmins getting land grants and settling down. They are described by their vedic affiliation, e.g. RgvedI, belonging to vAjasaneYI shAkha, yajurvedI, or sAmavedI; and by their gotra, e.g. kANva, bhArgava, kAshyapa, bharadvAja, agastya, vAtsya, or kauNDiNya. By the sixth century, even in east Bengal, just during the reign of bhUtivarmA, great-great-grandfather of bhAskaravarma , in one village paJcakhaNDa of shrIhaTTa, 200 brahmin families are brought in, many of different affiliations like Rg vAhRvacya, sAma chAndyogya, yajur vAjasaneYI, cArakya or taittirIYa. It is during this same period, fourth century AD and later, that we start finding traces of paurANic tradition of viSNu as cakrasvAmI. Temples are beeing built for the likes of govindasvAmI, svetavarAhasvAmI, kokAmukhasvAmI, pradyumneshvara, anantanArAYaNa, and puruSottama. Many kings are describing themselves as paramabhAgavat. That viSNu is already associated with kRSNa and balarAma is clear: the stories of lifting up govarddhana, fights with cANUra and muSTika, uprooting of yamalArjjuna tree, killing of keshI, playing with the gopIs, vAsudeva going to gokula with kRSNa, etc. are already depicted. Though the concept of rAdha from this period is extremely debatable, an

Extractions: Govindasvami (or Govindasvamin) was an Indian mathematical astronomer whose most famous treatise was a commentary on the Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I Bhaskara I wrote the Mahabhaskariya in about 600 A. D. It is an eight chapter work on Indian mathematical astronomy and includes topics which were fairly standard for such works at this time. It discussed topics such as the longitudes of the planets, conjunctions of the planets with each other and with bright stars, eclipses of the sun and the moon, risings and settings, and the lunar crescent. Govindasvami wrote the Bhasya in about 830 which was a commentary on the Mahabhaskariya. In Govindasvami's commentary there appear many examples of using a place-value Sanskrit system of numerals. One of the most interesting aspects of the commentary, however, is Govindasvami's construction of a sine table. Indian mathematicians and astronomers constructed sine table with great precision. They were used to calculate the positions of the planets as accurately as possible so had to be computed with high degrees of accuracy. Govindasvami considered the sexagesimal fractional parts of the twenty-four tabular sine differences from the Aryabhatiya.

For students, they are useful for learning the swaras of various raagas, singing in multiple speeds rapidly, as well as learning the appropriate gamakas. They introduce the proper combinations of swaras for each raaga and require great discipline for singing. The structure of the varnam includes pallavi, anupallavi, muktaayi swaram, caraNam and multiple ciTTa swarams that return to the caraNam (see the glossary ). Varnams are usually the first pieces sung in concerts. Here is an exhaustive (but not absolutely complete) list of varNams - over 850 of them!

Extractions: Madhavendrapuri went to the Balaji temple. He bathed at the Pushkarini River and sat in a small forest there. Afterwards, he meditated upon Shri Nathji. At that time, Shri Nathji knew that Madhavendrapuri was bringing sandalwood for Him and decided to appear before him there in that forest. Shri Nathji manifested, adorned in garments suitable for the hot season. Shri Nathji told Madhavendrapuri, "Anoint Me with some sandal paste, I am feeling hot." When Shri Gusainji heard about Madhavendrapuri's passing, six months after the fact, he became sad and remarked, "Madhavendrapuri was bringing sandalwood for Shri Nathji and along the way ascended to the eternal realm. Where can we find a bhakta like him? Madhavendrapuri had studied all the scriptures and attained the essence, the path of seva. Shri Nathji showered blessings upon him."

Extractions: It is an extremely useful thing to have knowledge of the true origins of memorable discoveries, especially those that have been found not by accident but by dint of meditation. It is not so much that thereby history may attribute to each man his own discoveries and others should be encouraged to earn like commendation, as that the art of making discoveries should be extended by considering noteworthy examples of it.

Bell and Sons, London, 1927, pp. 117-129. ca. 300 BC and earlier: Babylonian astronomers use linear and higher-order interpolation to fill gaps in ephemerides of the sun, moon, and the then-known planets, written down in cuneiform tablets as shown here.

Sankara Biography of Sankara Narayana (840900) He was a disciple of the astronomer and mathematician govindasvami. His most famous work was the http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/history/Mathematicians/Sankara.html
Extractions: Sankara Narayana (or Shankaranarayana) was an Indian astronomer and mathematician. He was a disciple of the astronomer and mathematician Govindasvami . His most famous work was the Laghubhaskariyavivarana which was a commentary on the Laghubhaskariya of Bhaskara I which in turn is based on the work of Aryabhata I The Laghubhaskariyavivarana was written by Sankara Narayana in 869 AD for the author writes in the text that it is written in the Shaka year 791 which translates to a date AD by adding 78. It is a text which covers the standard mathematical methods of Aryabhata I such as the solution of the indeterminate equation by ax c a b c integers) in integers which is then applied to astronomical problems. The standard Indian method involves using the Euclidean algorithm. It is called kuttakara ("pulveriser") but the term eventually came to have a more general meaning like "algebra". The paper [2] examines this method. The reader who is wondering what the determination of "mati" means in the title of the paper [2] then it refers to the optional number in a guessed solution and it is a feature which differs from the original method as presented by Bhaskara I Perhaps the most unusual feature of the Laghubhaskariyavivarana is the use of katapayadi numeration as well as the place-value Sanskrit numerals which Sankara Narayana frequently uses. Sankara Narayana is the first author known to use katapayadi numeration with this name but he did not invent it for it appears to be identical to a system invented earlier which was called varnasamjna. The numeration system varnasamjna was almost certainly invented by the astronomer Haridatta, and it was explained by him in a text which many historians believe was written in 684 but this would contradict what Sankara Narayana himself writes. This point is discussed below. First we should explain ideas behind Sankara Narayana's katapayadi numeration.

Ramakrishna Rao, B.Sc., M.A., A.M.I.E., C.Eng.(I)., B.L., Introduction The date of Mahabharat is analyzed for determination only based on the Indian astronomical works. The following facts are taken into consideration for such critical study: The Indian astronomers of Siddhantic works and followers have recorded the date of Bharata implying Mahabharat war in particular and starting of Kaliyuga or Era, that is used to reckon the dates of themselves at many places and in conjunction with Saka era in some places later. Aryabhata makes a specific mention about Bharata in his Aryabhatiyam. Most of the scholars including westerners have taken the connotation of it as referring to Mahabharat and in particular Mahabharat war, because, that is considered as the staring point of Kaliyuga / era in Indian astronomy and history too. Therefore, taking the astronomical works - Siddhantas, Tantras and Karanas like - Aryabhatiyam, Mahabhaskariyam, Vatesvara - Siddhanta

Extractions: In the forest known as naimisharanya. The sages (maharshis) arranged for a sacrifice (yajna) in this forest and the ceremony went on for twelve years. Naimisharanya forest was a wonderful place to arange sacrifices in. The climate was pleasant. There were trees full of flowers and fruit. There was no shortange of food in the forest, and animals, birds and sages lived there happily. Many sages ame to attend the sacrifice that had been arranged in naimisharanya. With them was Romaharshana (alternatively Lomaharshana). Vedavyasas disciple. Vedavyasa had instructed this disciple of his in the knowledge of the Puranas. The assembled sages worshipped the learned Romaharshana and said, Please tell us the stories of the Puranas. Who created the universe, who is its preserver and who will destroy it? Please instruct us in all these mysteries. Romaharshana replied, Many years ago, Daksha and the other sages had asked Brahma these very questions. I have learnt about Brahmas replies from my guru (teacher) Vedvyasa. I will relate to you what I know. In the beginning , there was water everywhere and the brahman (the divine essence) slept on this water in the form of Vishnu. Since water is called nara and since ayana means a bed, Vishnu is known as Narayana.
