Abstract:

This article looks at the nuances of gender dynamics within Sattra, the neo-Vaishnavite monasteries of Assam, located in the river island Majuli. Established as a part of medieval bhakti movement in Assam, Sattras play a significant role not only in the religious sphere but also in sociopolitical and economic aspects of life. Drawing from historical accounts on Vaishnavism and data collected through ethnographic exploration of Sattras in Majuli, the article looks at the historical representation of women within the Vaishnavite movement and their role within the monastic system in contemporary

Abstract:

Assam is the home of different ethnic groups with a variety of cultures and speaking different languages and dialects. The population of Assam consists of the inhabitants who migrated into the region at various periods of history from Tibet, Burma, Thailand and Bengal etc. Over time they got integrated as a population and have given birth to the greater Assamese nation. The amalgamated Assamese identity was initiated by the Great Saint Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardeva with his Neo-Vaishnavite Movement.

Vaishnavism is a major section of bhakti literature. The Vedic texts, upanishads and agamas describe the theoretical position of the Vaishnava god Thirumal. In the Four Vedas, the oldest of the vedas, The Vaishnavakadava, Thirumal, appears as the main god. The Upanishads, which guide the ethics of life, have highlighted the position of Vishnu. In addition, this article is entitled Vaishnavism in a theoretical position to explore how to worship God through Vaishnavism.

The Gaudiya Vaishnavism that emerged with Shri Chaitanya in the fifteenth century continued even after his passing in the hands of his disciples and spread to far-away Manipur.

Therefore, the strand of Bengal’s Gaudiya Vaishnavism that Bhagyachandra brought to Manipur continues to flow through the cultural life of the Manipuri people even today, a prime example of which is Nat Sankirtana.

Abstract:

All religions were initially founded with the aim of purifying men and women and helping them to lead ethical lives through prayers. However, unfortunately religion evolved to be a force reinforcing discrimination diverted from the original motive of religion. The Vaishnavite faith initiated by the 15th century Guru, Mahapurush Srimanta Shankardeva, in the region of Assam was also based on egalitarian and humanitarian values. The ideal monkhood in a Satra is to lead a life devoid of material pleasures and offer oneself to God by taking his name all the time. The various sects that have emerged

Abstract The events that are the focus of the present investigation relate to a schism within the Gaudiya Math and Mission, a modern traditionalist Hindu religious institution dedicated to the revival of Chaitanya Vaishnava bhakti that was set in motion in 1918 in Mayapur, West Bengal, by the Bengali Vaishnava intellectual Swami Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati (1874–1937). By the time of Bhaktisiddhanta’s passing in 1937, the Gaudiya Math and Mission had grown to be a dynamic and influential institution.

An important document which enables a reading pertaining to the stated framework is the hagiography. In a hagiographic tradition, the biographical account of the saint is continually juxtaposed with the socio-cultural ethos of the contemporary spatio-temporal frameworks.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to focus attention on the place of Vaishnavism as one of the forms of postmodern expression in modern civilization. Research results – identification of the particularities of the representation of India in the postmodern era, the rather conservative and at the same time exclusively innovative and high-tech, post-modernization of the Hindu narrative, the specificity of the philosophical reflection of Vaishnavism as a manifestation of Hinduism. Scientific novelty – analysis of oriental / Neo-Hindu discourses in the postmodern context.
