New Book:
VARNĖŖA VIDYĀ
The Biological Basis of VarnĖŖa Dharma, especially for Women and the ŚÅĢdra VarnĖŖa
By Sinu Joseph
Published by Notion Press - 28 November 2023

Book summary:

Did women in ancient Bhārat recite the Veda-s, perform agnihotra and wear the yajÃąopavÄĢta? Who were RĖŖsĖŖika-s, Brahmavādini-s and YoginÄĢ’s, and how did they attain that state? Why are the rules of religious practices similar for women and the śÅĢdra varṇa? Can women and the śÅĢdra varṇa officiate as temple arcaka-s, and how would this impact them and the temple?

Varṇa Vidyā provides answers to all those who wish to know the science behind the dharmaśaĖ„stra rules for women and the śÅĢdra varṇa. Going beyond the sociological understanding of varṇa based on jāti-guṇa-karma, this book takes a deep dive into the biological basis of varṇa dharma to answer questions about women and the śÅĢdra varṇa, especially in the context of religious practices.

More than 100 saᚃskṛtam verses from smrĖŖti-s (Manu, YājÃąavalkya, Parāśara, etc.), the Bhagvad GÄĢtā, ŚrÄĢmad Bhāgavatam, UpanisĖŖad-s and Ta**ra texts have been covered in this work, revealing their subtle meaning. Several published studies and modern scientific theories have also been included to ease the understanding of the present generation.

The book not only answers burning questions of the present time but also explains the science behind the spiritual path prescribed for women and the śÅĢdra varṇa. In the process of decoding the rules for women and the śÅĢdra varṇa, the science of varṇa dharma itself stands revealed as an unintended consequence.

About the Author:

Sinu Joseph is the author of Women and Sabarimala and RĖŖtu Vidyā, which describe the science behind the traditional rules and restrictions for Hindu women. She holds a BE in electronics and instrumentation engineering and chose to work in the social and developmental space.

She’s done extensive action research in menstrual and reproductive health since 2009 through various NGOs and travelled across Bhārat, interacting with thousands of adolescent girls and women directly to get a first-hand experience of menstrual practices and their impact on women’s health. She’s written extensively on unearthing the science behind native practices and bringing forth a unique narrative, which is the Bhāratiya perspective on menstruation, through her book RĖŖtu Vidyā.

Sinu has studied several Hindu temples, religious restrictions owing to menstruation, and their impact on women’s menstrual health. Her books unravel the advanced scientific knowledge lying hidden in the cultural and religious practices of Sanātana Dharma.

A tender moment between the king and his queen.

This detail of Tutankhamun and his wife Ankhesenamun appears on the lid of a wooden chest discovered in the Annexe chamber of his tomb.

These figures, carved in ivory and painted, show the young king accepting a gift of long-stemmed papyrus and lotus flowers from Ankhesenamun. He leans forward slightly, pressing his weight onto a thin walking stick. Below, two maidens collect the fruit and flowers of mandrakes.

It isn't unusual to see Egyptian pharaohs depicted holding (or leaning on) a tall staff as a sign of royal authority. Tutankhamun went to the afterlife with no less than 130 staffs and walking sticks.

A contemporary oil painting entitled 'Composition No.2' showing a couple with a child. The use of different colours to depict the subjects is very interesting in this composition which makes it striking and unmissable. The man is depicted with a dark complexion with a turban cloth on his head, wife is in yellow ochre and the child is in natural brown, the prominent facial features give the subjects a sharp look, painted by artist S. Dorairaj, from Andhra Pradesh, dated to 1973.

New article published: "From Tradition to Transformation: Exploring Broto Folk Art of Bengal" by Varuna Semwal, Shreejit Guha & Debkumar Chakrabarti from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, India.

Symbolic patterns and religious motifs are commonplace in Indian folk-art traditions such as in Broto Folk art, where floor design patterns were practised as a ritual relevant to the issues prayed to for well-being. As the designs responded to the shifting trends in society have impacted the motifs throughout time, and efforts to preserve and promote resulted in a cumulative action by artists as paintings or decorative art pieces. Broto Folk art, one of the oldest indigenous crafts from India, has been a testimony to the evolving times of history.

NEW ARTICLE ON CHITROLEKHA JOURNAL!

The study “Emotional Expression of AI-generated Artistic Design: A Case Analysis Approach” by Jie Gao & Jun Yin from China, explores AI’s potential and limitations in creating emotionally resonant art, guided by Riegl’s “Kunstwollen.” It examines the AI artwork ThÊÃĸtre D’opÊra Spatial for its emotional impact, interactivity, and creativity. The findings reveal that AI can push the boundaries of visual art but often falls short in capturing the subtleties of complex emotions. However, combining human and AI efforts shows promise for enhancing emotional expression in art. The research highlights AI’s expanding role in art and the need to balance technological innovation with emotional understanding. Future directions include improving AI’s emotional intelligence to better reflect and evoke human feelings, thus integrating technology more seamlessly with artistic expression.

Portrait of Lady Ranu Mukherjee
Hemendranath Mazumdar
Oil on canvas

Born in an area now part of Bangladesh, Hemen Muzamdar (1894-1943) trained at the Jubilee Art School in Kolkata. He resisted the 'Indianizing' and Orientalist agenda of the Bengal School instead adopting a traditional European academic realism.

Hemendranath Majumdar enjoyed great artistic success. After Ravi Varma, he became the most sought-after artist for oil portraits. His large oils attracted the Maharajas of Jaipur, Bikaner, Kotah, Kashmir, Cooch Behar, Mayurbhanj and other princely states. Among the nobility, the Maharaja of Patiala, Sir Bhupindranth Singh (1891-1938) was the most devoted, engaging him as a state artist for five years on a handsome salary, which enabled him to build his studio in Calcutta.

In 1919 he was one of the co-founders of the Indian Academy of Fine Arts and found critical acclaim in his portraits of women. Muzumdar's depiction of the female form is a narrative of the changing and conflicted attitudes to the n**e in a changing and conflicted India.

Jain manuscripts have a rich history of artistic embellishment. Interestingly, some of the earliest instances of Indian miniature paintings can be traced back to illustrated Jain manuscripts. We explore the stylistic roots of Jain manuscript paintings along with the role of patronage in the production of these manuscripts. In this scholarly exploration, we delve into the stylistic journey of these paintings, focusing specifically on the widely illustrated Kalpasutra until the 16th century.

CFP: LANGUAGE ENGINEERING
Against the backdrop of the growing interest in the use of artificial language, we invite articles in the field of Language Engineering to explore the scholarly implications of current and future advancements in Natural Language Processing. The issue aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and applied experiments in the fields of computer science and the demands of language adaptations with its concerns and insights for the future.

Since all kinds of communication use natural languages, language technology has become increasingly important in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital communication (DH). The automated study, interpretation, and production of human language, as well as its expansion towards language technology, can greatly benefit from research in the fields of digital humanities and natural language processing. Over four decades, many significant advances have been made due to the multidisciplinary strategy incorporating insights from linguistics, cognitive science, psychology, and machine learning. While widely recognized for its groundbreaking work in the fields of statistical parsing, syntax-based machine translation, and semantic role labeling, digital humanities has also recently led the way in developing methods for few-shot learning applied to NLP tasks, neural model interpretability, and graph neural networks for natural language processing. The development of responsible and socially-oriented NLP technology, together with its applications in media studies, computational social science, and digital humanities, constitutes another recognized field of study. To this end, DH has explored how statistical and neural models can retrieve information from text to help answer questions in the humanities: literature and arts, history, and philosophy, and aid large-scale data-driven analysis of cultural artifacts.

The intervention of humanities in language engineering is crucial because of the creative and constructive role and the addition of the ‘human’ factor in revolutionizing the means of communication. Humanities demand equity, sustainability and language diversity be maintained while moving ahead with new technologies. So, the issue will also consider papers on Language Engineering in other languages. However, the medium of the language needs to be English with proper annotations and translation wherever required.

In this context, the following areas of submission—which are suggestive and not exclusive—will be considered:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP): Intersection of AI and NLP, including topics such as deep learning, neural networks, and machine learning algorithms.
Theoretical Linguistics: Theoretical underpinnings of language, including phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
Corpus Linguistics: Annotation, abstraction, analysis, and part-of-speech tagging of large corpora of text.
Machine Translation: Historical developments of machine translation, including rule-based, transfer-based, interlingual, dictionary-based, and neural machine translation, machine translation and signed languages, intellectual property rights, and other related topics.
Lexicography: Theoretical and practical aspects of lexicography, including the creation of dictionaries, thesauri, and other reference works.
Text Analysis: Sentiment analysis, record management, and other forms of text analysis.
Information Retrieval: Historical developments and future possibilities of information retrieval, including search engines, recommender systems, and other related topics.
System Integration and Language Engineering: Integration of language technology into various systems, including chatbots, virtual assistants, and other human-computer interfaces.
Word limit: 5000-7000 words

LIGHT TALK || RHETORIC OF IMPOSSIBILITY
Rhetoric of impossibility is a term that refers to the use of language to express or imply something that is beyond the limits of human experience, knowledge, or logic. It can be seen as a form of hyperbole, metaphor, or paradox that challenges the conventional understanding of reality and invites the audience to imagine new possibilities.
Some examples of rhetoric of impossibility are:
â€ĸ “It is better to have an impossible likelihood than a possible unlikelihood.” - Aristotle, Rhetoric
â€ĸ “To be, or not to be" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet
â€ĸ “I dream of a day when this country will stand up and live by the true meaning of its principle: ‘We believe these truths are obvious, that all men are born equal.’” - Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream
â€ĸ “The only thing we need to be afraid of is being afraid.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt, First Inaugural Address
Rhetoric of impossibility can have different goals, such as to convince, motivate, challenge, or amuse the audience. It can also help to discover the boundaries and possibilities of human language, thought, and expression.

M A S T E R  S T R O K E S || T H E  O U T C A S T  B Y  B O T T I C E L L IPainted around 1496, Sandro Botticelli’s pai...
19/01/2024

M A S T E R S T R O K E S || T H E O U T C A S T B Y B O T T I C E L L I
Painted around 1496, Sandro Botticelli’s painting, The Outcast (Despair), depicts a scene from the biblical story of Esther. The man in the painting is Mordecai, who was banished from the king’s court for refusing to bow down to Haman, the king’s evil advisor. He is sitting outside the gate, wearing sackcloth and ashes, as a sign of mourning and repentance. He looks so lonely and hopeless as if he has lost everything.
Botticelli completed this when he was going through a personal crisis. He had become influenced by the radical preacher Savonarola, who condemned the worldly and pagan art of the Renaissance. Botticelli abandoned his beautiful mythological paintings, such as The Birth of Venus and Primavera, and turned to more religious and somber themes. Some say he even burned some of his paintings in the infamous Bonfire of the Vanities. Maybe he saw himself in Mordecai, as an outcast from the society he once loved.
The painting is very simple and austere, compared to Botticelli’s earlier works. The colors are muted, the background is bare, and the composition is centered on the solitary figure. There is no sign of life or hope, except for a small bird on the gate, which could symbolize Mordecai’s faith or God’s presence. The painting is very powerful and moving, and it made me think about the meaning of life, suffering, and redemption.
The composition perspective of Botticelli’s The Outcast is based on the principles of linear perspective, which was developed by Renaissance artists to create a realistic illusion of depth and space. Linear perspective uses a vanishing point, a horizon line, and orthogonal lines to create a geometric framework for the painting. The vanishing point is the point where parallel lines seem to converge in the distance, and the horizon line is the level of the viewer’s eye. Orthogonal lines are the diagonal lines that recede from the foreground to the vanishing point, creating a sense of perspective.
In The Outcast, Botticelli uses linear perspective to emphasize the isolation and despair of Mordecai, the banished man. The gate behind him acts as the main orthogonal line, leading the viewer’s eye to the vanishing point in the center of the painting. The gate also creates a contrast between the inside and the outside, suggesting that Mordecai is excluded from the society and the court. The wall behind the gate is bare and empty, implying that there is nothing beyond the gate for Mordecai. The other orthogonal lines are the edges of the pavement and the folds of the clothes, which also point to the vanishing point and create a sense of depth. The pavement is divided into regular squares, which help to measure the distance and scale of the painting. The clothes are arranged in a triangular shape, which is a common compositional device in Renaissance art to create balance and harmony.
Botticelli’s use of linear perspective in The Outcast is very effective and expressive, as it conveys the mood and the message of the painting. The perspective creates a sense of space and realism, but also a sense of loneliness and hopelessness for Mordecai. The painting is a masterpiece of Renaissance art, and a testament to Botticelli’s skill and creativity.
Don’t you find it highly ‘modern’ in conception? Almost existentialist?

MASTER STROKES || MAN IN RED CHALK
Have you ever wondered what Leonardo da Vinci looked like? Well, you might be surprised to learn that there is only one drawing that is widely accepted as his self-portrait. It is the Portrait of a Man in Red Chalk, which he drew around 1510-1515, when he was about 60 years old.
The drawing is made with red chalk on paper, and it shows the head of an elderly man with long hair and a long beard, looking at us with a serious and thoughtful expression. The drawing is very detailed and realistic, and it reveals some of the features of Leonardo's face, such as his aquiline nose, his deep wrinkles, and his missing upper front teeth.
The drawing is also very expressive, and it conveys a sense of Leonardo's personality and genius. He was not only a great artist, but also a scientist, an inventor, and a philosopher. He was curious about everything, and he explored many fields of knowledge, from anatomy to astronomy, from engineering to music. He was a true Renaissance man, who combined art and science, and who sought to understand the laws of nature and the secrets of the human soul.
The drawing is now kept in the Royal Library of Turin, Italy, where it is rarely displayed to the public due to its fragility and poor condition. It is considered one of the most iconic and mysterious images of Leonardo da Vinci, and it has inspired many artists and writers over the centuries.
What do you think of this drawing? Can you add some more points to our post? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments below!

M A S T E R S T R O K E S || B O T T I C E L L I
Sandro Botticelli’s magnificent painting called Primavera, (Spring). It is one of the most celebrated works of the Italian Renaissance, and it shows a scene from classical mythology in a garden.
The painting is composed of nine figures (six female, two male, and a cupid) arranged in groups across a horizontal panel. The figures are not aligned on a single plane, but rather distributed in depth, creating a sense of perspective and space. The figures are also not evenly spaced but clustered in the center and the right, leaving the left side more open. This creates a dynamic and asymmetrical balance in the composition.
Botticelli used tempera paint, a traditional medium that uses egg yolk as a binding agent, to create vibrant and luminous colors. He also applied gold leaf to some parts of the painting, such as the hair of Venus and the wings of Cupid, to enhance the radiance and preciousness of the scene. The painting is rich in details and textures, especially in the depiction of the flowers, the fabrics, and the jewels25
The painting also reveals Botticelli’s mastery of anatomy, gesture, and expression. He portrayed the figures with grace and elegance, capturing their different poses and movements. He also conveyed their emotions and interactions, such as the playful love of Cupid and the Graces, the violent passion of Zephyr and Chloris, and the serene dignity of Venus.
This painting is a perfect example of how art can combine form and content, beauty and meaning, in a harmonious and captivating way. It makes us appreciate the skill and creativity of the artist, and it inspires us to learn more about the culture and history behind it.
