P.K. Gode: The Ajātaśatru and his Scholarly Brotherhood --- P.K. GODE was an Ajātaśatru — a person who had no enemies. Throughout his career, he had amassed a wealth of mentors and had forged close friendships and lasting relationships within the scholarly community. The list of stalwarts with whom P.K. Gode had forged lifelong friendship reads like a lexicon of eminence. A sublime Sanskrit word describes the striking trait that earned him such widespread and enduring esteem and goodwill: Dīkṣā. A common theme that we notice in all writings by and about P.K. Gode is his penance-like immersion in Sanskrit studies. --- Do read this ennobling essay in full! 🙏🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/pk-gode-the-aj%C4%81ta%C5%9Batru-and-his-scholarly-brotherhood

The Meticulous Rigour and Discipline of P.K. Gode's Research --- MUCH TO OUR DELIGHT, P.K. Gode reveals the secret that made his research almost perfect and unimpeachable. This is what he says: "To me all old manuscripts, documents, printed books, not to say other sources of history, are worthy of reverence and careful preservation. In fact they are the very life-blood of all historical research." For each topic of research, Gode maintained something he called the Problem File, and he noted on separate sheets each new bit of information or clarification that he discovered. --- There is an ocean of insight, inspiration and guidance in this essay.

The Aryan Path to Enduring Intellectual Glory Lies through the Honest Pursuit of Truth P.K. Gode embarked on in-depth scholarly research in such offbeat, strange and seemingly bizarre topics like horse gram, nose-ring, bullock carts, paper, perfumery, jalebi, dietics, fig and archery. What made him seek obscure and forgotten poets, hymn-composers, military generals, ministers, clerks, musicians and unknown pupils of great Gurus? But for P.K. Gode, we’d never know that all these even existed. -- Read the whole enlightening essay! 📑🙏🕉🛕🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/the-aryan-path-to-enduring-intellectual-glory-lies-through-the-honest-pursuit-of-truth

The Anāsakta Karma of P.K. Gode P.K. Gode undertook his lifelong scholarly penance in the spirit of what the Bhagavad Gita describes as Anāsakta Karma or the path of Detached Action. Gode spent generous sums of money from his own pocket to send his latest research papers to scholars both in India and abroad. This eventually created a situation where scholars and researchers began to anticipate when his next output would reach their table. This is the unspoilable fruit of carrying on sustained work measured not in years but decades. -- Read the whole inspirational essay and pass it on in your circles. 🛕🕉🪔🙏🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/the-an%C4%81sakta-karma-of-pk-gode

The Sanatana work ethic involves nfusing Samskara into work. Thus, the moment Kumkum or Haldi is mixed with rice grains, it is transformed into Akshata, literally meaning, “that which cannot be destroyed." https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/from-auspiciousness-to-depravity-a-hasty-race-to-the-bottom#:~:text=infusing%20Samskara%20into%20it.%20Thus%2C%20the%20moment%20Kumkum%20or%20Haldi%20is%20mixed%20with%20rice%20grains%2C%20it%20is%20transformed%20into%20Akshata%2C%20literally%20meaning%2C%20%E2%80%9Cthat%20which%20cannot%20be%20destroyed.

BORI Beckons P.K.Gode   P.K. Gode found his life's calling when he joined the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute (BORI), Poona in 1921 as an Assistant Curator. He remained there for the rest of his working life.    In fact, Gode was a born researcher and BORI was the boundless ocean that allowed him unhindered exploration. In a sense, both were born and made for each other. From one perspective, the distinguished history of BORI is also the august professional biography of P.K. Gode.   Over a distinguished academic career spanning four decades, Gode published a whopping 475 research papers of the topmost quality. -- Read the whole piece! 📑🕉🛕🪔   https://www.dharmadispatch.in/culture/bori-beckons-pkgode

Consumed by Communism: The Sordid Story of how Amartya Sen Ruined the Nalanda Revival   The Nalanda University revival is one of the Cruellest Hoaxes in history. As is well-known, the arch villain of this tale is Amartya Sen. The heart of the ancient Nalanda University lay in the study and the imparting of traditional learning in various subjects. Therefore, it caused immense public disappointment when the economist Amartya Sen, who has absolutely no knowledge of these traditional disciplines, was appointed to head the revival project. Amartya Sen, throughout his long career, has heaped scorn on everything that is rooted in the Indian tradition. Do read this comprehensive story of how Amartya Sen thoroughly botched up the revival of the Nalanda University using a mix of nepotism, incompetency and ad hoc functioning. 😡📑🛕🕉🪔 https://www.dharmadispatch.in/commentary/blinded-by-communism-the-story-of-how-amartya-sen-ruined-the-nalanda-revival
