University of Nalanda
The University of Nalanda built in the 4th century BCE was one of the greatest achievements of ancient India in the field of education. Buddha visited Nalanda several times during his lifetime. The Chinese scholar and traveler Hiuen Tsang stayed here in the 7th century, and has left an elaborate description of the excellence, and purity of monastic life practized here. About 2,000 teachers and 10,000 students from all over the Buddhist world, lived and studied in this international university. In this first residential international university of the world, 2,000 teachers and 10,000 students from all over the Buddhist world lived and studied here. The Gupta kings patronized these monasteries, built in old Kushan architectural style, in a row of cells around a courtyard. Ashoka and Harshavardhana were some of its most celebrated patrons who built temples and monasteries here. Recent excavations have unearthed elaborate structures here. Hiuen Tsang had left ecstatic accounts of both the ambiance and architecture of this unique university of ancient times.
The Nalanda university counted on its staff such great thinkers as Nagarjuna, Aryadeva, Vasubhandu, Asanga, Sthiramati, Dharmapala, Silaphadra, Santideva and Padmasambhava. The ancient universities were the sanctuaries of the inner life of the nation.
Nalanda, Vikramshila, Odantapura, and Jagddala as the universities destroyed by Mohammed Bakhtiar Khilji around 1200 A.D.
These universities were sacked, plundered, looted by the Islamic onslaught.
The Moghuls neglected practical and secular learning, especially the sciences. Throughout their long rule, no institutions was established comparable to modern university, although early India had world-famous centers of learning such as Taxila, Nalanda and Kanchi. Neither the nobles nor the mullas were stirred into learning.
Akbar was illiterate. So were most of the Muslim rulers. They did not build one good college in eight centuries, complains Nehru. Naturally, the Muslim invaders saw no good in the two great universities of Indiâ?"Taxila and Nalanda. They destroyed them. Peter Mansfield, historian of the Middle East, writes: ?oThe great movements of ideas in western Europe from the Reformation through the Renaissance and counter-Reformation left the Ottoman world almost untouched.? The French and Russian revolutions were not different. They made little impact on the thinking of the Muslim world.

Takshasila: World''s first University



The World''s first university was established in Takshila in 700 BC. More than 10,500 students from all over the world studied more than 60 subjects. Taxila, stood on the banks of the river Vitasa in the northwest of the Indian subcontinent. The campus accommodated 10,500 students and offered over sixty different courses in various fields, such as science, mathematics, medicine, politics, warfare, astrology, astronomy, music, religion, and philosophy. The minimum age for admission was 16 years and students from as far as Babylonia, Greece, Syria, Arabia, and China came to study at the university.
Panini, the great Sanskrit grammarian, Charaka, the author of famous treatise on medicine, and Chanakya, writer of Artha Shastra -- these august names are associated with Taxila. Promising minds from far flung regions converged there to study the Vedas and all branches of secular knowledge.
Takshasila or Taxila, as the Greeks called it over 2,000 years ago, was at one of the entrances to the splendor that was India. Its antiquity is rooted both in epic texts like the Ramayana, Mahabharata and the other Puranas.....Taxila was destroyed by White Huns in 499 A.D

Deepavali là Deewali đấy Hairbraid.

Ơ đây là dhoti? Đẹp quá, tớ cũng thích một cái. Dhoti trong tp.hcm cũng có bán đấy, ở chỗ thương xá TAX. Vì người Malaysia cũng mặc dhoti, nên mình bán nhiều lắm (khách du lịch Malay nhiều mà), tất nhiên chắc cũng có hơi đắt đôi chút. Chị em nào muốn xúng xính thử thì ra đó mua nhé.
Mà tớ nghĩ chắc may cũng đơn giản nhỉ? Chỉ có vụ quàng khăn có lẽ hơi khó, tuột lên tuột xuống như Lancome tả í.
Xem phim Ấn các anh các chị tòan mặc đồ này nhảy mà (chỉ mấy phim kiểu có cảnh đám cưới thì mặc saree thôi, không thì mặc dhoti nhảy nhót cho tiện)

Híc, buồn ngủ quá! Chào cả nhà nhé! Hôm nay đã sát ngày nộp bài mà còn lang thang trên đây... híc..
À, mà Trang có hỏi hắn về cái vụ cột dây ấy rồi, hình như là dây bằng sợi đai chứ không phải bằng vải đeo ở eo bụng í. hắn nói chỉ có nam đeo thôi. Đeo từ lúc mới sinh ra đến hết đời. Khi nào bị chật hay dây lâu quá bị mục thì lại mua dây khác đeo vào. Hắn còn nói nam theo đạo Hindu còn đeo 1 loại dây mang ý nghĩa quan trọng hơn nữa trên shoulder , Trang tra từ điển shoulder hình như là vai thì phải, mà thấy trong mấy tấm hình có thấy anh chàng Ấn nào đeo cái gì trên vai đau nhỉ. Hỏi hắn ý nghĩa của mấy cái đó là gì, hắn nói không biết, đúng là rõ chán dân vi tính , ít khi nào quan tấm đến kiến thức bên ngoài. Không biết có ai biết không nhỉ?

The dance heritage of India is at least 5000 years old. A dancing girl figurine was found in the ruins of Mohenjodaro and is dated approximately 2nd Century B.C. Many group dancing sequences are depicted in exquisite rock paintings of Bhimbetaka ****s of Madhya Pradesh. The apsaras (Celestials) dancers are carved at the gateways of Sanchi. The wall paintings of Ajanta and Ellora, the sculptures of Khajuraho, the temple walls of Hoysala dynasty, stand ample evidence for popularity of Indian dances from ancient times.Through the centuries the dances have been used as a vehicle of worship and expression of emotions in India. The temple dancers (Devadasis) have led a very austere lives in order to perform sacred dances to please Gods and Goddesses. The Devadasi system is still prevalent in some states of India. In Karnataka they are dedicated to the Goddess Yellamma of Savadatti. In Orissa, they are appointed to perform various activities of the templeOdissi - from Orissa... the most ancient of all classical Indian dances. The most important elements in the Odissi Nrita are the Bhangis (stylised poses) and Karanas (Yoga based body positions). A striking feature of the Odissi dance is that it has found extensive representation in the ornamental temple structure of Orissa. It is the most expressive and lyrical of all classical dance. Odissi is based on the popular devotion to Lord Krishna and the verses of the Sanskrit play Geet Govinda are used to depict the love and devotion to God. The Odissi dancers use their head, bust and torso in soft flowing movements to express specific moods and emotions.The form is curvaceous, concentrating on the tribhang or the division of the body into three parts, head, bust and torso; the mudras and the expressions are similar to those of Bharatnatyam. Odissi performances are replete with lores of the eighth incarnation of Vishnu, Lord Krishna. It is a soft, lyrical classical dance which depicts the ambience of Orissa and the philosophy of its most popular deity, Lord Jagannath, whose temple is in Puri. On the temple walls of Bhubaneshwar, Puri and Konark the dance sculptures of Odissi are clearly visibleBharatanatyam - an ancient classical dance style, originally performed in the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu, in southern India. The Indian dance system is the oldest and most comprehensive in the world, having an unbroken tra***ion that goes back 2000 years. Bharatanatyam is evenly divided between three elements Nritta, Nritya and Natya .Nritta : Rhythmic Element.Interprits the language of rhythm with the help of body movements.Nritya : Combination of Rhythm with Expression.Conveys poetic meaning with the help of expressions, rhythmic gaites and postures. eg. Varna, Shabda, Pada etc.Natya : Dramatic Element.Performing for a theme like Ramayana, Mahabharata etc.
