Shankara Dorasami, analyzes perspicuously the restlessness of the modern spirit. It traces this, and the emotional emptiness characteristic of the modern man, to his loss of faith and of the assumption of human purpose. The materialism of the latter half of the 19th century led to science overshooting its mark by dismissing values from the universe; and "materialism and pessimism are natural twins." The fatal step is confusing force and values. The true values of life are all there, Dr. Lin Yutang declares, but when, he asks, will modern man find his lost inheritance" ? Prof. N. A. Nikam did not share the author's pessimism, convinced that through suffering humanity learned to build better. He did not feel that a new faith was needed but rather a reaffirmation of faith. Dr. T. M. P. Mahadevan of the Madras University traced man's internal chaos, the "private anarchy" from which Dr. Lin Yutang said that international anarchy stemmed, not to man's mind but to its overstimulation at the expense of something in him which was deeper. Values had been not so much denied as ignored, which was worse. Man had to recover his lost soul. Dr. N. S. N. Sastry made the point that psychoanalysis meant and included psycho-synthesis. Dr. Lin Yutang had suggested integration. He summed up the paper's message as Modern man seeks the values that are lost. The Chairman, Mr. Philip Spratt of Mysindia, felt that it was the mind of the modern Western man that the paper had analyzed. The West wanted to show that life was worth while. Gandhiji had had that spirit of vigorous striving but had not been able to inspire the majority of his countrymen to emulation. Mr. Spratt implied that it remained for India to give a practical demonstration of the value of concern for the Soul. WORDSWORTH CENTENARY MEETING June 8th, 1950 Giving the Wordsworth Centenary Lecture on Wordsworth: His Poetry and His Philosophy, under the presidency of Dr. T. M. P. Mahadevan, Shri P. K. Venkata Rao, Professor of English at St. Joseph's College, 1Bangalore, analyzed Wordsworth's poetry from the point of view of its author's progressive development. Atfirst a mere description of Nature, it had developed into an expression of the poet's feeling of the spirit behind Nature, and later bore witness to his identification of the latter with the same spirit in man. Professor Venkata Rao suggested also that the poet's sympathy with suffering had led him to the realization of order in the universe, in harmony with which man could find freedom. He read illustrative passages from Wordsworth's "Ode to Duty" and his "Tintern Abbey. ((}) Dr. Mahadevan, Head of the Department of Philosophy in the University of Madras, spoke of the distinction between the poet and the philosopher. The poet was one who saw into the essence of things and communicated his heart impressions in verse, while the philosopher reached towards the same goal by the communication of ideas which raised the consciousness through reason and logic. If Wordsworth was a pantheist, he said, he was in good company, not only that of Western philosophers like Spinoza, but also that of the authors of the nature hymns of the Vedas, which bore witness to their deep sense of the kinship between man and Nature. BUDDHIST AND JAIN THOUGHT FOR OUR TIME June 13th, 1950 There was lively interest and participation in the comparative discussion centring around two papers read by Mr. Philip Spratt at this meeting under the chairmanship of Rajadharmaprasakta ShriA. S. R. Chari. The discussion was led by Dr. Felix Valyi, Hungarian Orientalist, one-time Editor of The League of Nations Review. The paper on "Buddhism and the Vital Problems of Our Time" was written by Prof. Helmuth von Glasenapp of the University of Tubingen, and that on "Jain Thought as Applied Today" by Shri Acharya Tulsiram, Head of the Swetambara Terapanthi Mahasabha. The former had been broadcast from Munich and published in Universitas, Stuttgart. Prof. von Glasenapp, not a Buddhist but an authority on Buddhism, traced its spread, its peaceful co-existence with other religions in the Far East, and showed how dogmatic theological Buddhism differed from Christianity and Islam, in substituting for the Personal God idea that of unalterable Law. It taught Karma and reincarnation and stressed the importance of ethics, including prominently motive.Jainism, comparatively neglected by the Orientalists, was, Dr. Valyi brought out, on the strength of Shri Acharya Tulsiram's answers to his questions compiled in this paper, at one with Buddhism on the essentials, like Karma and Dharma, as it was obviously on Ahimsa. He brought out how closely knit were the Jain lay community and the monastic order which the former supported. The Jains were most liberal and helpful to others and practised rigid self-discipline. Shrimati Sophia Wadia brought out in the discussion how necessary to modern civilization was the Buddhist and Jain concept of discipline, which was also that of modern Theosophy. She contested Prof. von Glasenapp's point that Buddhism had deteriorated, claiming that the deterioration was less than in other religions and bringing out also that the criterion of Buddhism, as of other religions, should be the teachings of its first prophet or leader. The Buddha had not denied the true Ego but only the permanence of the false ego or personality. Buddhism recognized the superconscious and its meditation aimed at opening the door to it. The final goal of Buddhism, moreover, was not Nirvana but its renunciation for the sake of mankind. Discussion turned on the practice of vegetarianism in Buddhist countries and the question of why Buddhism had died out in India, where it had spread so widely, was debated with some warmth, one suggesting that the Moguls were responsible, another ascribing its decline to weakness on the part of Buddhism itself. The part played by Hindu orthodoxy in driving it out of India was implicit in Dr. Valyi’s assertion that it was not that Buddhism had failed in India (the proof being its success elsewhere), but that India had failed the Buddha. The paper by Prof. von Glasenapp was published in Mysindia during July 1950. THE "GITA" WAY OF LIVING June 19th, 1950 Dr. B. Ch. Chhabra, Government Epigraphist, first dealt with the point that those desirous of understanding the Gita had to assume the position of Arjuna, listen to the Divine Flute-player and attune themselves to His music. The Gita had a universal appeal, the people who claimed the book to be impractical and out-of-date to the contrary notwithstanding. Its main theme was the performance of all duty harmoniously, without looking for a desired result. This lecture was published, in somewhat condensed form, in The Theosophical Movement (Bombay) for November 1950. 3POETRY AND TRUTH June 22nd, 1950 Poetry should not be written for art's sake alone nor should it be a mere truthful photograph of life, said Prof. A. N. Moorthy Rao. All art, including poetry, had to be invested with meaning but it was all from a partial point of view, as the portrayal of the whole truth was impossible. The effort should, however, be to get as many facets of truth as possible, so that more and more of the picture might be seen. THE PRESENT CRISIS IN PSYCHOLOGY 28th June 1951 Dr. M. V. Govindaswamy, Superintendent of the Mental Hospital, Bangalore, presided and led the discussion which followed Shri L. Shankara Doraiswamy's reading of Dr. J. R. Smythies' paper on this subject, which had been sent for one of the Institute's Discussion Meetings, and which was published in The Aryan Path for November 1951 S Dr. Govindaswamy, opening the discussion, saw the present crisis as one in modern thought and not only in psychology. He mentioned how little was yet known about the brain structure, the recent frontal brain operations having advanced knowledge but little. He mentioned Freud's pioneer place in the new psychological developments, parapsychology being the latest entrant into the field. The question of what time was had been raised by the work of Dunne and Rhine. The ordinary man would give it up. Dr. N. S. N. Sastry questioned there being a crisis in psychology, nor could he follow the writer's reference to additional dimensions. His own investigations in parapsychology had, however, yielded far better results than chance could account for. He referred to a higher layer of common consciousness reaching up to which might account for thought transference, according to one theory. The mind was not confined to the brain, but the Soul was above both mental and physical impressions. The mind, he suggested, had to be recognized as an energy. Shri B. P. Wadia referred to the present challenge of the facts of extra- sensory perception to the materialists. He mentioned the duality of "Manas," as both the thinker in its higher aspect and the lower mind. He spoke also of a term used by the ancients, "Sutratma," the thread-soul,the thread on which the beads of separate existences were strung. Krishna spoke in the Gita of this ego drawing together the five senses and the mind for the purpose of incarnation; and then dropping them again. The thinker remained objective; yoga was the uniting of the two minds. Modern investigators were seeking objective proofs of subjective processes. The mystics had no doubt of the realities of which they spoke, but each had to realize for himself. It was the flight of the alone to the Alone" of Plotinus. The great Truths did exist and the genius who used a higher faculty than reason had access to them."" The Chairman in summing up mentioned other states of perception being often illusory, but conceded the possibility of past events being sensed by some people, as in the adventure of two ladies in the Versailles Gardens, who had an authentic vision of them as in the late 18th century. He suggested that words like "mind" could be used, not only as " nouns," but also as "verbs," or forces, shaktis. As to the Great Beyond, which Dr. Smythies' paper mentioned in connection with additional dimensions, Dr. Govindaswamy said that the Buddha had remained silent about it, and the Vedanta spoke of it as the "Great Light." RECENT TRENDS IN AMERICAN EDUCATION 5th June 1951 Dr. Chris A. De Young, Dean of the Graduate School, Illinois State Normal University, a lecturer in India under the Fulbright Act, stationed at the Central Institute of Education, University of Delhi, gave his illustrated lecture on this subject under the chairmanship of Prof. B. R. Seshachar, Central College, Bangalore. He spoke of how highly decentralized the administration of education in America was, and of its democratic control, of the secular education in all public-supported schools, and of the emphasis on learning to do things with the hands, of which he was sorry to find so little yet in India, where he had taught years ago; examinations were still over-emphasized, he found. He stressed the influence of the home in education, as also the need of child understanding and guidance. He would have schools library-centred. Apropos of religious education, Dr. De Young said that religion could not be taught; it could only be caught; and a true educator, by the influence of his own life and spirit, would give the necessary spiritual quickening to his pupils.PHILOSOPHY AS DARSANA 7th June 1951 Under the chairmanship of Shri K. Guru Dutt, Director of Public Instruction of Mysore State, Dr. T. M. P. Mahadevan, the Head of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Madras, traced first the history of Western philosophy from the 16th century, when, freeing itself from theology, philosophy had begun to become the handmaid of science. Logical Positivism, denying all validity to metaphysics, had been its final product. Eastern philosophy, by contrast, was darsana, a view of reality by means of a transcendental experience. The goal in the East was not only a view of life but a way of life. There were logical systems in India, such as Nyaya and Buddhism, and Parva-mimamsa might be considered a kind of pragmatism, but pragmatism had not taken root in India. The test of philosophy was realization, immediate experience of Reality, which was possible because Reality was not other than ourselves. STAGE PRODUCTION FOR AMATEURS. 9th June 1951 Miss Irene Buller (Mrs. G. P. Alexander) of the London stage, lecturing on this subject under the chairmanship of Shri G. S. Ullal, not only gave many hints for the successful amateur production of plays but also imparted something of her own enthusiasm for the importance and the possibilities of the amateur stage. She brought out the need to consider the talent available in choosing the play, to find the best producer possible and give him full control, to fill in the background by studying the characters and their setting, to identify oneself with the part, to take the work seriously and to divide the tasks among the members of the company, with due attention to the audience's convenience and pleasure. The pointers given ranged from clothes, good carriage and keeping the eyes up, to careful listening by the actors and conscientious alertness in the prompter. Please keep the stage alive, a vital part of the world you live in!" TIME AND MUSIC 11th June 1951 Pandit Narayana Rao, lecturing under the chairmanship of Vidyabhushan Shri D. K. Bhardvaj, said that music was more than anexpression of the emotions and higher sentiments through the medium of sound; it was the expression of the divinity in man. But it had many levels, from the most metaphysical, the Sound, the Word, by which the universe was created, down to the physical. Modern science did not understand the flow of time and how the different times of day produced different moods or states of consciousness, due to the attunement of man with Nature. The ancient Rishis had recognized this relationship and said that only certain ragas appropriate to each time of day should be played then. The lecturer described the various ragas, with their predominant notes and their intended effect, demonstrating the twilight ragas with vina accompaniment. THE INFLUENCE OF THE GREEK AND LATIN CLASSICS ON ENGLISH LITERATURE 21st June 1951 This lecture by Mr. S. C. G. Bach, Regional Representative of the British Council at Madras, was given under the chairmanship of Prof. P. K. Venkata Rao of St. Joseph's College, Bangalore. Mr. Bach sketched first the content of Greek literature from Homer to its peak in the 5th century B.C., the Roman classical literature having been modelled on the Greek. The classical idea had been characterized by objectivity or impersonality, humanism, the exaltation of reason, symmetry and simplicity. All literary forms were Greek, though perhaps they were basic and the Greeks had only developed them. The influence of the Greek and Roman classics on English had grown from the Norman Conquest, affecting the language as well as the current of thought. Shakespeare had made the classical culture completely his own. The Renaissance era of expansion had been succeeded by the Augustan, with its greater emphasis on classical forms. Even today, in our day of industrialism and scientific expansion, the classical tradition persisted to some extent and bade fair to revive. Even modern writers could not get away from the myths, which, whether historically based or enshrining philosophical or natural truths, touched upon issues of permanent importance to man. THE CITIZEN OF TOMORROW 23rd June 1951 Mr. Justice B. Vasudevamurthy of the High Court, Bangalore, presided at this breezy address by the wellknown writer and humorist, Mr. Justice A. 7S. P. Ayyar of the Madras High Court. Mr. Ayyar started on the theme of the essential oneness of humanity and the need for shedding insularity and becoming citizens of the world. The citizen of tomorrow would have to shed his separative tendencies. Man, he said, had in him the god as well as the animal, and the intelligence to choose between dharma and adharma, right and wrong. He touched on the secular state not being an iconoclastic state; each was free to follow the religion of his choice. All religions had their messages, and these did not conflict. The ideal was the well-being of the world; Heaven was not some far-away place but had to be brought down on earth. He advocated doing away by education with rigid castes, one law for all people, and economic sufficiency for all. His points were interspersed and illustrated with many witty anecdotes in the lecturer's characteristic vein. FRIEDRICH FROEBEL HIS EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AND METHOD 21st June 1952 Miss M. E. Robinson, Principal of the Home School, Basavangudi, who presided at this meeting, held on the centenary of the death of Friedrich Froebel, said that he had first showed the necessity for the child to have its own world, not chopped-off bits of the world of its parents. Though he had thought his life-work a failure because the year before he died the Government had closed his school, the seed of his thought had sprouted and for 100 years children everywhere had had a brighter childhood and better schooling as a result. The lecturer, Shri T. V. Thimmegowda of the Department of Public Instruction of Mysore State, first sketched Froebel's life, his unhappy early childhood, except for freedom to roam in the garden and the woods, his happier years from 10 to 15 with an uncle who gave him affection and sent him to school, his later unsuccessful efforts to get higher education and to find the right calling. Then he had become a teacher, studied under Pestalozzi and worked out the principles underlying education. Starting with the premise of an energizing, self-conscious, eternal unity and an eternal law underlying all things, Froebel maintained that all things born from that Divine Unity or God partake of its nature. He held that the object of education, as of life, was to unfold the Divinity which is in every man in germ. This, the speaker said, did not diverge from Indian thought. Froebel saw the purpose of education as being to lead the child to a knowledge of himself and his 8connection with all others and with God, and so to a holy life. His method in his kindergarten was to present to the young child objects to stimulate interest, expand awareness, and awaken activity-a ball, symbolizing the unity of life; a cube divided into segments which could be put together again, etc. His idea was of a family school with equality and the co-operation of all to develop a social sense. Children were to learn by doing, play as well as work being educative. Shri Thimmegowda concluded by contrasting with Froebel's educational theory that of the late John Dewey, another great educator, who set no limits to the possibilities of man's development but lacked Froebel's spiritual outlook. The lecturer thought that Froebel's ideas needed to be more stressed today and the educational curriculum remodelled accordingly. Miss Robinson in her closing remarks spoke of Froebel's ability to enter into the very mind of the child. He had carefully watched children, got down to their level and made small furniture and other things for the child's own world. His not being an armchair educator had been an important factor in his success. ve ve vedeh, ewaldaizyned — 72 oe. 8. Om.
