Greetings all, Sorry for not being on the symposium much lately. I promised to write a paper for this year's Missouri Folklore Society conference and that has kept me busy for the last week or so. Plus we moved back to Kirksville, MO, from Crestone, CO, last week, too. We will be in Kirksville for the winter. Anyway, here is a link to the paper I wrote. It is mostly finished. Just a few tweaks here and there and a few more items for the Bibliography. You can find it here. It was fun to do and I learned a lot about that story. Let me know if you have any questions or corrections. You can also see me present the paper here., but I don't advise it. I don't think I did a particularly good job of presenting it. The paper was too, so I had to adlib some. Better to read the paper, if you wish. |

I can see from the introduction to Dadhici-paper, "In India...dogs are represented in the family names of many ancient and respected sages, the great sages Śaunaka (Son of Little Dog), Śunaḥpuccha (Dog Tail), and ’sunaḥkarṇa (Dog’s Ear) for instance.”
Also, I also remember Jagat's ( I think?) article (at Vrindavantoday web-site) about the dog-festival that was once held by Bodo Babaji.
I find it interesting because what we know, or at least what I know, about dogs in India's culture is that they are considered unclean, untouchable ect.

Greetings Jivaji, राधे राधे! I see you share my surprise at the role of dogs in the early literature and culture of India, considering their current status in India. I will certainly post the two papers I did on dogs in Indian culture. They may be a little less developed than the one I just posted, but I think you will find some interesting things in them. The first in on dogs and food and the second is on an ancient Indo-European theme of the dogs of death, that is, of Yama in India. Yama's dogs go back to the Rg Vedic hymns and continue on into Puranic and Itihasic times undergoing some surprising transformations. Anyway, I will post them in a separate thread sometime today. |
