Abstract

This paper outlines the richness and complexity of Gopīnāth Kavirāj’s (1887-1976) contribution to the Indological studies, in particular in the field of Tantric studies. Kavirāj was at the same time an important academic scholar acknowledged both in India and in the West, a traditional paṇḍit and a Tantric sādhaka . These three experiences were inextricably connected: for him the only valuable knowledge was the one that allows spiritual achievements. The focus is in particular on sūrya - vijnāna (solar science), a nearly unkown technique to materialize objects seemingly from nothing, strictly connected to Kavirāj’s guru, Viśuddhānand Paramhaṃs. In my opinion Kavirāj’s treatment of sūrya - vijnāna is an interesting example of the link between sādhanā world and critical thought in his work.

Gopinate Cavrac e la scienceza solare

本文概述了Gopīnāth Kavirāj(1887-1976)对印度学研究，特别是密宗研究领域的贡献的丰富性和复杂性。Kavirāj同时是印度和西方公认的重要学术学者，传统的paṇḍit和密宗的sādhaka。这三种经历是密不可分的:对他来说，唯一有价值的知识是那些能让他获得精神成就的知识。重点是sūrya - vijnāna(太阳科学)，这是一项几乎不为人知的技术，它可以将物体从无到有地物质化，与Kavirāj的导师Viśuddhānand Paramhaṃs密切相关。在我看来，Kavirāj对sūrya - vijnāna的处理是一个有趣的例子，sādhanā的世界和他的作品中的批判性思维之间的联系。

期刊介绍： The journal has three main aims. First of all, it aims at encouraging interdisciplinary research on Asia and Africa, maintaining high research standards. Second, by providing a global forum for Asian and African scholars, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community and civil society, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. The third aim for a specialized academic journal is to widen the opportunities for publishing worthy scholarly studies, to stimulate debate, to create an ideal agora where ideas and research results can be compared and contrasted. Another challenge is to combine a scientific approach and the interest for cultural debate, artistic production, biographic narrative, etcetera. This journal wants to be original (even hybrid) also in its structure, where academic rigor should not hinder access to the vitality of experience and of artistic and cultural production.
