Sanskrit
Sanskrit (; stem form ; nominal singular , ,) is a classical language belonging to the Indo-Aryan languages, Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages. It arose in northwest South Asia after its predecessor languages had Trans-cultural diffusion, diffused there from the northwest in the late Bronze Age#South Asia, Bronze Age. Sanskrit is the sacred language of Hinduism, the language of classical Hindu philosophy, and of historical texts of Buddhism and Jainism. It was a lingua franca, link language in ancient and medieval South Asia, and upon transmission of Hindu and Buddhist culture to Southeast Asia, East Asia and Central Asia in the early medieval era, it became a language of religion and high culture, and of the political elites in some of these regions. As a result, Sanskrit had a lasting effect on the languages of South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, especially in their formal and learned vocabularies. Sanskrit generally connotes several Indo-Aryan languages# ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
āyatana
In Buddhism, ''āyatana'' (Pāli; Sanskrit: आयतन) is a "center of experience" or "mental home," which create one's experience. The term ' (Pāli; Skt. ') refers to six cognitive functions, namely sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, body-cognition, and mind-cognition. ''Āyatana'' may refer to both ordinary experience and the chain of processes leading to bondage, as to awakened experience centered in detachment and meditative accomplishment. The Buddhist path aims to relocate one from the ordinary, sensual centers of experience to the "mental home" of the purified, liberated awareness of the jhanas. Traditionally, the term ''āyatana'' is translated as "sense base", "sense-media" or "sense sphere," due to the influence of later commentators like Buddhaghosa. The ' are traditionally understood as referring to the five senses and the mind. Etymology ''Āyatana'' (Pāli; Sanskrit: आयतन) is a Buddhism, Buddhist term that does not have a single definition or meani ...

Panchayatana Puja
''Panchayatana puja'' (IAST ') also known as Pancha Devi Deva Puja is a system of ''puja'' (worship) in the Smarta sampradaya, which is one of four major ''sampradaya'' of Hinduism. It consists of the worship of five deities set in a quincunx pattern, the five deities being Ganesha, Adi Shakti, Shiva, Vishnu and Surya. Sometimes an Ishta Devata (any personal god of devotee's preference) or Kartikeya is the sixth deity in the mandala (see Shanmata). Panchayatana puja has been attributed to Adi Shankara, the 8th century CE Hindu philosopher. It is a practice that became popular in medieval India. However, archaeological evidence suggests that this practice long predates the birth of Adi Shankara. Many Panchayatana mandalas and temples have been uncovered that are from the Gupta Empire period, and one Panchayatana set from the village of Nand (about 24 kilometers from Ajmer) has been dated to belong to the Kushan Empire era (pre-300 CE). The Kushan perio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pancharatna (architecture)
''Ratna Style'' () is a style of Bengal temple architecture, that originated in Bengal from the 15th to 16th centuries, under the Mallabhum kingdom (also called Malla dynasty). Originating as a regional style in Hindu temple architecture. It is an extended style of the ''Chala'' temple. The special feature of ''Ratna-style'' temples is the curved cornice of the ''chala''. ''Ratna-style'' temples were built all over Bengal. But most of the temples are found in the city of Bishnupur. In the present day, the temples are now located in two separate national territories: the Indian states of West Bengal and Tripura, and Bangladesh. Etymology ''Ratna-style'' temples have one or more towers or pinnacles above the curved roof. These pinnacles are known as ''Ratna'' (jewel) in Bengal temple architecture. This temple architectural style derives its name from these pinnacle (ratna). History The ratna style came up in the 15th-16th century.McCutchion, David J., ''Late Mediaeval Tem ...

Panchayatana (temple)
Panchayatana () is a Hindu temple layout where the main shrine is surrounded by four subsidiary shrines. The origin of the name are the Sanskrit words ''pancha'' (five) and ''ayatana'' (containing), referring to a "five-shrined" layout. Generally, Hindu temples are built along a west-east axis. The four subsidiary shrines are located at the north-east, south-east, south-west, and the north-west. Panchayatana temples * Shree Dev Vyadeshwar in Guhagar * Kandariya Mahadeva Temple in Khajuraho * Brahmeswara Temple in Bhubaneswar * Jagdish Temple in Udaipur * Lakshmana Temple in Khajuraho * Lingaraja Temple in Bhubaneswar * Arasavalli Temple near Srikakulam District of Andhra Pradesh near Visakhapatnam. Main shrine dedicated to Aditya. Subsidiary shrines dedicated to Ganesh, Shiva, Parvati and Vishnu. * Dashavatara Temple in Deogarh, Uttar Pradesh.

Pancharatnam-Berry Phase
In classical and quantum mechanics, geometric phase is a phase difference acquired over the course of a cycle, when a system is subjected to cyclic adiabatic processes, which results from the geometrical properties of the parameter space of the Hamiltonian. The phenomenon was independently discovered by S. Pancharatnam (1956), in classical optics and by H. C. Longuet-Higgins (1958)See page 12 in molecular physics; it was generalized by Michael Berry in (1984). It is also known as the Pancharatnam–Berry phase, Pancharatnam phase, or Berry phase. It can be seen in the conical intersection of potential energy surfaces and in the Aharonov–Bohm effect. Geometric phase around the conical intersection involving the ground electronic state of the C6H3F3+ molecular ion is discussed on pages 385–386 of the textbook by Bunker and Jensen. In the case of the Aharonov–Bohm effect, the adiabatic parameter is the magnetic field enclosed by two interference paths, and it is c ...
