Manohar Publishers & Distributors, 1995. Hardcover. New. The papers in this volume were presented at the third conference in the series ""Maharashtra: Culture and Society"", convened by Gunther Sontheimer at Heidelberg in June 1988. The subjects range from the early phases of human culture in Maharashtra as evidenced by archaeological findings at Daimabad and Inamgaon (Dhavlikar) to the rise of the yaksa Khanderav to the tutelary god of the Satavahanas, the rulers of the Deccan in the early years of the first millennium, A. D. (Deshpande). Recurrent themes in Indian folk-lore, such as the Traditions about cows, bulls, buffaloes, and bears are surveyed by Durga Bhagwat who sees compositeness as the very essence of folk, that is, Indian culture. The close description of living folk traditions of great antiquity in the Marathvada region of Maharashtra forms the subject of P.B. Mande`s impressive ethnographic contribution. R. C. Dhere shows how folk etymologies, though often incorrect historically, infuse Sacred places with religious significance, while the saints make Creative use of etymologies current among the people to concretize abstract or universal Spiritual doctrines. James W. Laine examines heroic ballads about Sivaji, povadas, showing the inherent tensions between the ideals of the warrior-sacrificer and Brahmanical notions of the ideal Hindu King as an ascetic-renouncer. While Dilip Chitre brings Patthe Bapurav back on Stage to show how one of the first songs of social Criticism in Marathi has its Roots in the Iavni, a folk genre of Maharashtra, N. K. Wagle involves us in endless litigations concerning the sending of troublesome Spirits (bhuts) in 18th century Maharashtra, Tongue very much in cheek. In a more serious vein, Eleanor Zelliot highlights the consciously anti-Hindu ""folk-lore of pride"" written by the Buddhist followers of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. In a similar context, Traude Pillai-Vetschera chronicles the struggle of Mahar converts to Christianity to come to terms with the painful injustices of the past and find the human dignity they deserve amidst the often equally painful injustices of the present. While E. Reenberg Sand selects aspects of the History of the sacred places along the riverbanks near Pandharpur to demonstrate the inter-relatedness of folk and Bhakti traditions, Anne Feldhaus draws us into the whirl-pool of her Research on different types of River goddesses showing the inter-relationships of water, fertility, females, difficulties in childblearing, and the danger of the drowning of Children if river goddesses are not propitiated. Most appropriately, Gunther Sontheimer chose the pilgrimage-festival of god Khandoba as the theme of his own contribution to the `folk festival` he had convened at Heidelberg. ""The folk Festival in (jatra) in the religious Tradition of Maharashtra"" is, in a way, the hub of this volume into which the majority of its papers neatly fit, not unlike jewelled spokes in the wheel of a magnificent temple-chariot....

Atlanta, GA: Historic Oakland Foundation, 1999. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Good. [2], viii, 107, [3] pages. Illustrations (color). Index. Cover has slight wear and soiling. In 1976, Oakland was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Historic Oakland Foundation was founded. The City and the Foundation have worked together to stabilize the cemetery and make it an attractive and inviting place for all Atlantans. The Foundation is currently in the process of implementing a ten-phase restoration and gardens renovation plan for the entire cemetery. The plan is contingent on the acquisition of sufficient funding. The vision of the Foundation: A revered cemetery and vibrant park to honor Atlanta's past and celebrate its future. Foundation Mission: The Historic Oakland Foundation partners with the City of Atlanta to preserve, restore, enhance, and share Oakland Cemetery with the public as an important cultural resource and as an island of tranquility in the heart of the city. Less than a mile from the heart of downtown Atlanta, a hidden treasure, a secret sanctuary, welcomes you. This garden cemetery is the final resting place of many of Atlanta's settlers, builders, and most noted citizens like Bobby Jones, Margaret Mitchell, and Maynard Jackson. It is also a showplace of sculpture and architecture, and a botanical preserve. Important Atlanta milestones are represented at Oakland, from early builders, to Civil War soldiers, to leaders of industry, to Civil Rights pioneers. It is a shining example of the "rural garden" cemetery movement of the 19th century. The garden cemetery featured winding paths, large shade trees, flowers, and shrubs, and appealing vistas. . Today, Oakland Cemetery is also a repository for stunning art and architecture. Elaborate mausoleums, soaring sculptures and effusive inscriptions speak of an age when the bereaved found consolation in extravagant expression. Impressive art and architecture can be seen in many styles: Victorian, Greek Revival, Gothic, Neo-classical, Egyptian and Exotic Revival. Several mausoleums feature stained glass windows from Tiffany Studios. Bronze urns over six feet high were cast at Gorham Manufacturing Company in New York, the first art foundry in America. City fathers purchased six acres in 1850 to be a public burial ground for a young but fast-growing town that already had a population of more than 2,500. It was designed as a rural garden cemetery. Originally called Atlanta Graveyard or City Burial Place, Oakland was renamed in 1872. By then it had expanded to 48 acres, mainly due to pressures of the Civil War. During the war, the City and the Confederate government added land to bury soldiers who died in local hospitals. As fighting drew closer and engulfed Atlanta, more burial space was needed. After the war, space was added to provide a proper final resting place for soldiers who had been hastily buried on area battlefields. By 1867 the cemetery reached its present size. Two historical markers within Oakland describe its connections with momentous events of the Civil War. In 1862, Union operatives known as Andrews Raiders commandeered a locomotive at present-day Kennesaw and raced north to cut telegraph lines. Seven were hanged near Oakland's southeast corner and interred in the cemetery before removal to the National Cemetery at Chattanooga. On high ground north of the Bell Tower, a two-story farmhouse stood in the summer of 1864. It served as headquarters for Confederate commander John B. Hood during the Battle of Atlanta, which was fought to the east of the cemetery on July 22. In the late 19th Century families tended the plots of loved ones, creating an assortment of lovely gardens. Atlanta's first greenhouse was established here in 1870. Many distinctions of daily life were maintained in death, as African Americans were buried apart from whites and Jewish sections were separate from Christian. The last plots were sold in 1884., Historic Oakland Foundation, 1999, 2.5, Chicago: The Bookhouse for Children, 1927. Very Good/No Dust Jacket.

Manohar Publishers & Distributors, 1995. Hardcover. New. The papers in this volume were presented at the third conference in the series ""Maharashtra: Culture and Society"", convened by Gunther Sontheimer at Heidelberg in June 1988. The subjects range from the early phases of human culture in Maharashtra as evidenced by archaeological findings at Daimabad and Inamgaon (Dhavlikar) to the rise of the yaksa Khanderav to the tutelary god of the Satavahanas, the rulers of the Deccan in the early years of the first millennium, A. D. (Deshpande). Recurrent themes in Indian folk-lore, such as the Traditions about cows, bulls, buffaloes, and bears are surveyed by Durga Bhagwat who sees compositeness as the very essence of folk, that is, Indian culture. The close description of living folk traditions of great antiquity in the Marathvada region of Maharashtra forms the subject of P.B. Mande`s impressive ethnographic contribution. R. C. Dhere shows how folk etymologies, though often incorrect historically, infuse Sacred places with religious significance, while the saints make Creative use of etymologies current among the people to concretize abstract or universal Spiritual doctrines. James W. Laine examines heroic ballads about Sivaji, povadas, showing the inherent tensions between the ideals of the warrior-sacrificer and Brahmanical notions of the ideal Hindu King as an ascetic-renouncer. While Dilip Chitre brings Patthe Bapurav back on Stage to show how one of the first songs of social Criticism in Marathi has its Roots in the Iavni, a folk genre of Maharashtra, N. K. Wagle involves us in endless litigations concerning the sending of troublesome Spirits (bhuts) in 18th century Maharashtra, Tongue very much in cheek. In a more serious vein, Eleanor Zelliot highlights the consciously anti-Hindu ""folk-lore of pride"" written by the Buddhist followers of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. In a similar context, Traude Pillai-Vetschera chronicles the struggle of Mahar converts to Christianity to come to terms with the painful injustices of the past and find the human dignity they deserve amidst the often equally painful injustices of the present. While E. Reenberg Sand selects aspects of the History of the sacred places along the riverbanks near Pandharpur to demonstrate the inter-relatedness of folk and Bhakti traditions, Anne Feldhaus draws us into the whirl-pool of her Research on different types of River goddesses showing the inter-relationships of water, fertility, females, difficulties in childblearing, and the danger of the drowning of Children if river goddesses are not propitiated. Most appropriately, Gunther Sontheimer chose the pilgrimage-festival of god Khandoba as the theme of his own contribution to the `folk festival` he had convened at Heidelberg.

After the war, space was added to provide a proper final resting place for soldiers who had been hastily buried on area battlefields. By 1867 the cemetery reached its present size. Two historical markers within Oakland describe its connections with momentous events of the Civil War. In 1862, Union operatives known as Andrews Raiders commandeered a locomotive at present-day Kennesaw and raced north to cut telegraph lines. Seven were hanged near Oakland's southeast corner and interred in the cemetery before removal to the National Cemetery at Chattanooga. On high ground north of the Bell Tower, a two-story farmhouse stood in the summer of 1864. It served as headquarters for Confederate commander John B. Hood during the Battle of Atlanta, which was fought to the east of the cemetery on July 22. In the late 19th Century families tended the plots of loved ones, creating an assortment of lovely gardens. Atlanta's first greenhouse was established here in 1870. Many distinctions of daily life were maintained in death, as African Americans were buried apart from whites and Jewish sections were separate from Christian.
