Topic: Svaha


In the News (Tue 2 Dec 08)

  
  Svaha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Hinduism, Svaha is a minor goddess, wife of Agni.
In Hinduism and Buddhism, "Svaha" (Sanskrit: svāhā) is a component in Buddhist mantras used roughly equivalent to the word amen in Christian prayers - a holy word used to indicate finality in prayers or holy sayings.
In this interpretation, it was used by Charles de Lint as the title for his novel, Svaha, first published in 1989 and reissued in 1994 and 2000, and issued as an e-book in 2001.

 Svaha by Charls De Lint
Svaha by Charles de Lint is a wonderful rendering of a possible future.
Svaha was a delightful read in the first place, but it was truly interesting to study it in a postcolonial context.
Svaha shows signs of Marxist ideals in that the middle class is nonexistent in the society of the outside world.

 The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad by Swami Krishnananda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Svaha, Vasat, Hanta and Svadha - these are the ways in which a Mantra is concluded when it is utilised for the purpose of offering oblations in a sacrifice.
Svaha-karam ca, vasat-karam ca: When any oblation is offered in the sacrifice towards gods, then Svaha or Vasat is the word used to complete the chant of the Mantra in the sacrifice.
So, 'Svaha and Vasat are the two nipples of the cow of the Veda which have correspondence with the gods in heaven', in paradise.

Svaha was very glad that Lynx would do this, because Lynx is known for his silence.

 The seven Krttika
For six times, Svaha made love to Agni, who believed that he had conquered the attractive wives of the seven Rishis.
Svaha could mimic only six of the Krttika since the seventh sister, Arundhati, was too devoted to her husband to be imitated.
After a while, Svaha gave birth to a child that she named Skanda.

 Charles de Lint, Svaha   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Svaha is a little different from what we are accustomed to seeing from Canadian fantasist Charles de Lint, being much more science fiction than fantasy.
Svaha is Amerindian and means "the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder; a waiting for promises to be fulfilled".
Svaha is the new name of the acquired Enclave.

 Evan Chambers: Program Notes
The first movement plumbs the depths of wisdom present in a small squeak-toy Buddha that holds a cup of coffee in one hand and a cell-phone in the other.
The words "Bodhi Svaha" in its title are a variant of "Bodhisattva," which refers to an enlightened one who labors tirelessly for the benefit of all beings, even those of us who drink too much coffee.
The second movement is based on the form of the koan, which is an unsolvable question posed in meditation practice, and the third movement describes a moment of realization while speeding down the highway.

SVAHA is a reprint of the classic tale of Native American magic mingling in a world on the eve of destruction caused by self-interests polluting the environment and the minds of the people.
"Svaha" takes place in the future, in a real place (or, at least, de Lint's vision of a currently real place as it is in the future).
At the start of "Svaha" (the time of expectancy, between the lightning strike and the thunder), a Samurai lord captured a highly advanced ship from an Enclave, but had a piece of critical technology stolen from it.

Svaha is the wife of Shiva in His manifestation as Agni (fire).
The Linga Purana says, "Svaha is the essence of fire and one who invokes that name is dear to Shiva".
Traditionally, "Om" is chanted at the beginning and "svaha" at the end of mantras when making offerings.

 Matt's Thoughts
Once upon a yesteryear there was a space on the campus of Antioch College called Svaha and campus rumor said that name meant the above definition and was a 'Swahili' word.
This space had been created and so named that in the late 60's or early 70's, and I guess it was even a campus publication and information office at one time (where they could get you the answer faster than lightning or something like that).
Native-languages.org even claims the word Svaha is NOT a native american word." If this saves even one more poor child from being named "Svaha" because his parents read on an Internet list that it was a "Native American" name, I have done a good deed today.

 Chapter 6 - Placing of the Shri-patra, Homa, Formation of the Chakra, and other Rites
Similarly with the word Svaha, in place of Namah, the offering should be placed at the head of the Devi (80).
Then, uttering the Vyahriti with the Pranava at the commencement, and Svaha at the end, the Homa sacrifice should be performed (155-156).
Twenty-five oblations should then be offered (uttering the Mula-Mantra with Svaha at the end), and, contemplating on the union (or identity) of his own soul with Vahni and the Devi, eleven oblations should also be offered with the Mula-Mantra to the Anga-Devatas, concluding with Svaha (158-159).

 Matt’s Thoughts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
On the cover was a native american with lightning flashing across the sky and it said “Between Thunder and Lightning — Comes A New Breed Of Warrior …”.
Turns out… not really, he just said “Svaha is Amerindian and means “the time between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder; a waiting for promises to be fulfilled”.”.
On a more disturbing association there is apparently a Russian definition of Svaha “In the age old tradition of the Russian Svaha, or matchmaker, we are very pleased to introduce you to some of the nicest and most beautiful women of the Saratov Region of Russia.”

 Raven's Reviews: Charles de Lint
If you're at all interested in exploring the possibilities of the magical in everday life, you should definitely read some of his books.
Svaha is a little harder to label than some of his other stories, since it's the usual mixture of urban and fantastical but set in the future rather than now.
And the fantasy part is less definitive, composed mostly of Native American religious beliefs and spirits which may or may not be obvious to the different characters.
