The emergence of Vedas precedes the recorded history of man. A commonly held view is that they emerged from the innermost core of Brahma's consciousness at the beginning of creation. Various evidences have been put forward to establish that since Veda is one of the most ancient scriptures, it is the means through which humans can achieve worldly success as well as transcend the materialistic existence through realization of Brahman : the ultimate truth. According to the scholars of Vedas, Brahman is a symbol of Sat-Chit- Ananda (Existence-Consciousness-Bliss) and this is the synonym of Vedas.

{"title":"Modernity and English mixing: A study of Nepali television commercials","authors":"Khagendra Acharya","doi":"10.3126/BODHI.V3I1.2812","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3126/BODHI.V3I1.2812","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, I investigate the issue of English mixing in Nepali television commercials. More specifically, based on qualitative data taken from a total of four hours of Nepali TV commercials broadcasted on the major Nepali television stations - Avenues Television and Kantipur Television from 7am to 9am and 7pm to 9pm since 1 July to 1 October 2009, I examine the motivations for English mixing in Nepali TV commercials. For the analysis, primarily I categorize them into two major types, Nepali-only (NO) and English mixed (EM). NO includes commercials aired in Nepali only and EM includes advertisements aired in Nepali in juxtaposition with English. After it, I study the differences between EM and NO as the dichotomous treatment of NO and EM is critical in examining the purpose of English-mixing. The findings suggest that English-mixing in Nepalese TV commercials is a carefully constructed exemplar of the marketing of modernity.
