Topic: Prajapati


In the News (Thu 31 Dec 09)

  
  Prajapati
It is also given to Manu Swayambhuva himself, as the son of Brahma and as the secondary creator of the ten Rishis, or "mind-born sons" of Brahma, from whom mankind has descended.
It is to these ten sages, as fathers of the human race, that the name Prajapati most commonly is given.
According to some authorities the Prajapatis are only seven in number, being identical with the seven great Rishis.

 Women in Buddhism
Prajapati now stands before him stripped of her former identity as mother and wife, no longer having a man for her life to revolve around.
If this view of Prajapati is true, it could explain why she was the first to ask the Buddha to become a disciple immediately after hearing his teachings, and persisted in her request even after his brusque refusal.
Obviously, Prajapati as the first nun, and the other women of the palace who joined the Sangha along with her, succeeded in breaking down Shakamuni's cultural conditioning and enabled him to see women as equal to men in their ability to grasp and practice the teachings.

Prajapati is the creator of the world in the Vedas (as well as later Hindu scriptures), and God the Father is creator of the world according to the Old Testament.

Tired of being alone, Prajapati gave birth to three kinds of beings: gods, men, and, of course, demons.
So, Prajapati told each group the same thing, knowing full well that each sort of offspring would understand it in exactly his own way.

 rumblestrip: Prajapati
Prajapati narrates a primitive story that has no connection whatsoever with contemporary life or realities; the latter come as a garnishing - as some stray comments upon local politics.
Even when it tries to tell a superman story, neither is it capable of achieving the technical perfection, innovativeness in visualization effects of a Tamil film, nor is it able to break free from the age-old ‘canons’ of puerile naturalism that Malayalam cinema is chained to.
But all this purity and innocence is solely for the village lot, the prajas, while the prajapati lives in a luxurious island of modernity(which is in stark contrast to his enemy-brother family, which is still pre-modern and looks pitifully rural).
