Rabindranath Tagore, a true Indian mystic of supremely divine sense during the nineteenth century, and George Herbert, having been endowed with a true Anglican spirit in the late sixteenth century England, addressed God to be able to have His grace and mercy, in which each poet of individual purport manifests a distinctive, whole, and original self in his work, despite the very common obedience to more or less orthodox doctrine. One defining characteristic of Tagore's personality as a poet is the dialogic quality of his poems found in 'Sanchayita', determining his inner force on how to reach the truest manifestation of God, whereas Herbert's poetry is talk, and God, speaking or silent, is his constant interlocutor, demonstrating the fact that the majority of poems in 'The Temple' are addressed directly to his God. This research paper aims to vouchsafe the inner temperament and richness of their thorough deep moaning by individual's poetic impulses, which have been guiding humankind to salvation.

The extreme notion of the concept of love was coined by Plato or so-called platonic love whose main idea is to cling to "eros" and "hedonism that gyrate over the centre of the love. This paper aims to highlight the deeper context of love in the truest sense of the hedonistic pleasure and concept of love akin to Plato. Plato idealizes that love means in Greek terminology "eros", intensifying a passionate sexual desire. He seeks more to say that love means to give birth to beauty both in the body and in the soul permanently. The focal point of this paper is to explicate the notion of love through the codification of the definition given by Plato, the greatest philosopher of the Greeks. The paper also investigates the loyalty, pity and sufferings associated with the journey of love with the context and fundamental ethics of Platonic love and the stark reality of hedonism. Keynotes: Fundamental ethics of Platonic love, hedonism, hedonistic pleasures versus platonic love, concept of eros. Introduction: In the popular mind, Platonism is associated with the concept of Platonic love, which is understood today as a non-sexual relationship between heterosexual friends. A

The name Sylvia Plath, an American confessional poet, itself is the matter of great psycho as it has been discussed a lot since the past few decades. With this these poems foreshadowing the cult of the deep psychology of a girl before having a sense of motherhood completely, Plath exaggerates the notion of the strong sense of motherhood as well as her own feeling over the unborn being growing up gradually in herself. A deep psychology and strong sense of motherhood completely grasps over her brain made her able to pen the theme of her strong feeling over the unborn. And this kind of physical as well as psychological bonding led her to project an another world for having been isolated from this narrow and undependable world around her. Her highly but practical world of imagination taken from her personal life derives a great deal of force...

People of vast materialistic things were unable and hardly remember to the epistemological and subtle concept of God. The existence of God and His magnanimous milieu beyond the resistance of every creation were of inferior and subservient to them. The word ‘devotion’ and its very sense were seemingly menial to them. During that crisis of cultural-devotional identity of England, the identification and way of patronizing the God and His supremacy expounded by George Herbert (3 April, 1593-1 March, 1633) and Henry Vaughan (17 April 162123 April, 1695) managed the baffling minds of people, germinating the seeds of a new culture and identity of devotion into the heart of England. The aim of this paper is to clarify how Herbert and Vaughan, in spite of the cultural as well as political turmoil due to ghastly shade of Civil War, molded a ...

Ambedkar was not only championed the cause of social justice for the untouchables, women, shudras and underprivileged sections of Indian society, but also Founding Father of modern civilization in the history of India. Baba Saheb Dr B R Ambedkar had worked vigorously throughout his life to challenge the authority of orthodox uncivilized Hindu Religious theories and practices that upheld violence, untouchability, vertical hierarchies, wicked human relations in an institutionalized manner with barbarian practices. The Ambedkar’s mission was to annihilate the Hindu religion in order to create a civilized society like white Christian societies which hold the strong modern liberal democratic ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity. Research paper analyzes the contribution of Baba Saheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar in founding the modern civilization which is new to Indian society till the arrival of civilized white western colonial rulers in the...

Traherne's fundamental optimistic outlook on the notion of the sacrament and spiritual sense made a fitting and realistic undertone towards the changing scenario of divinity and the concept of devotion during seventeenth-century England. Traherne's philosophical optimistic approach towards divinity is a strong propensity of rekindling the effects of the seventeenth-century devotion to God and led that matter very clear and evocative to the susceptibility of the divine impulse of humankind. Traherne is and will be discussed nowadays, why he will be given the privilege, and what significance his work bears is a matter of ongoing critical judgment. Unhesitatingly the fact relating to Traherne's overall justification and outlook to the divinity and sacramental identity of his time, must be acknowledged that he was a mystic not by compulsion or having no other option to do, but by choice completely derived from heart, which was also palpitating, unlike other human beings who wanted to be devout sincerely, vivifying its own identity towards God.

generally considered to be the highest exploration and
exuberance of every aspect of the history of England. England
was really renowned and famous then for its trade and
commercial expansion. The attitude of the English rulers
towards the way of life people went through then was also
encouraging. England during this period was more centralized,
neutralized by the effective government, largely due to the
reformation of Henry VI and Henry VIII and also of Elizabeth’s
harsh punishments to the Tudor defenders, who were cruel
and heinous towards the people of England. It may be assumed
that a rebirth of moral nature of people following the
intellectual progression and awakening during these two
periods, Tudor and Elizabethan, was regarded as one of the
major characteristics of Puritan movement. Though it had
hardly touched the moral nature of people, it reciprocated a
little relief and comfort from the tyrannies of rulers. One,
without assuming the political and moral degradation of a
cultured nation, can hardly read the horrible records of Medici
or the political observation of Machiavelli.

Most readers of Herbert sense the poetic-artistic importance of settling the dogmatic issue of Herbert’s attitude toward the Sacrament, as Richard Hughes argued, in this regard, “what Herbert felt about the Incarnation is the central issue of his poetry. He saw poetry itself as a miniature version of the Incarnation”. The nobility of Eucharistic notion is the marrow of Herbert’s sensibility. In fact, the eucharistic sacrifice in The Temple is the sacrifice of language itself: the poetry is eucharistic because it reciprocates the ‘creature’ of language as the ontological bridge to the divine as well as the divinity. My principal goal here is to give sense of the vocabulary for discussing seventeenth century poetry as Eucharistic and Herbert’s language as transcendent. In Herbert’s poetry the term ‘equivocation’ connotes one word holds two definitions- homonymous language turns to a sense most true.

The paper also aims to fulfill the acknowledgement of Traherne"s new philosophical optimism that is felicitation for all the creations of God, aiming to ascertain a safe passage for the soul"s salvation through a new found idea. Traherne"s sense of establishing the idea of felicitation of every creation of God aroused a rich voice of devotion and the divinity in the arena of the religiosity of the entire England, rekindling the ideas of sacrament and ecclesiastical domain for the better understanding of soul"s self and its very relevance towards the objectivism of the feeling of God. This paper will fulfill the demands of the devout person of the present era and will bring forth the relevance and strong significance of felicitation, love and care for everyone established by Thomas Traherne (1637-1674) through his rich feeling and understanding of both the divinity and the devotional milieu of his time where he belonged.

This paper also aims to investigate his principle psychology and doctrine of his subtle transformation to vindicate the uncontrollable stasis of the Divinity around the universe. Vaughan’s spiritual struggle for the finding out and have the divine sense is aptly to be discussed in this paper to crosscheck the basic principles of his devotional journey under the careful guidance of his master George Herbert whose The Temple incorporated and imbibed a brilliant impact on Vaughan.

The absurd theatre, vehemently known as the common theatre, was coined first by Martin Julius Esslin (1918-2002) whose main aim, by creating this term, is to explicate the abnormalities of the human behaviors on the projected stage like world of meta-identity. Meta identity is redefined broadly through the mask of external identity, reinvigorating the one of the concepts of Post-Modern ideology of vast Humanity.

The dress of Anglo-Saxon refers to the variety of early medieval European dress from the time of their migration to Great Britain till the beginning of Norman Conquest. On the other side people belonging to the Elizabethan Period were not allowed to wear the costumes they wish to. This was totally dominated by the Law of English; i.e. The Sumptuary Law. And specifically these laws were designed to reduce the expenditure of people of buying different types of clothes. Definitely it was illegal to wear different types of clothes. Elizabethan men were only allowed to wear that types of clothes which were prescribed by this Laws. But this kind of rules and laws were not meant for the Anglo-Saxon Period. They usually used three types of clothes: Linen, Woolen and Slaves according to their class and social status. In the Elizabethan Period the nobility wanted t...

Introduction Social media sites did not appear until the emergence of Web 2.0 in 2002 and 2003. For this reason, studies of social media still represent an emergent field whose literature is limited in comparison to the research in other fields. Moreover, the changing nature of social media, the frequent appearance of new applications and the changes in the audience/users from youth to various slices of society all necessitate the continuous examination of this phenomenon and its effect on culture. There is no doubt that new technologies and social media have made human society highly interconnected. Nevertheless, the question of whether this connectivity has ameliorated intercultural communication remains. Some argue that social media have improved the ways in which people from different cultures understand one another and that these media have thus created a cosmopolitan culture (Chen, 2012; Shuter, 2011). Others argue that the emergence of Internet technology and social media has created gaps between certain groups of people, even within the same culture, particularly between youth and older people (who are considered the carriers of their cultures). Bagdasaryan (2011) (cited in: Chen, 2012: 4) attempts to explain this phenomenon by arguing that traditions and innovations have co-existed in human societies for ages. Cultures have been capable of adapting to new innovations through a gradual, steady process of acclimation and by fostering new values. However, the speed of the diffusion of innovation through new media has increased, which has resulted in traditional values being unable to maintain pace with the new cultural values produced by new media (Chen, 2012). As a result, cultures have become incapable of adapting to the rapid changes caused by these innovations. Moreover, the gap between generations resulting from new technology illiteracy has weakened the continuance of culture through oral communication. These arguments about the impact of social media on culture leads us to question whether social media are playing a positive role and are producing a cosmopolitan culture or, as some scholars argue, are working against interculturalityby assisting in clustering like-minded people and cultures together, which may diminish the process of cultural exchange or interculturality. Or, as a third group argues, are social media merely mirrors that reflect the cultural situation in the world rather than a driver of change? This paper aims to review the literature on the various academic trends concerning the correlation between social media and interculturality. The paper will start by briefly reviewing the literature of the relation between social media and three key elements or dimensions of culture that are related to interculturality: identity, knowledge and values. Then it will review the literature of the three visions of the relation of social media and interculturality: social media as a promise, threat and mirror. 2. Social media and Cultural Dimensions Prior to discussing the relationship between social media and interculturality, I will present a brief overview of social media and culture using three key dimensions related to interculturality: identity, knowledge and values. In brief, the term 'interculturality' in this paper is used to refer to the ability to interact with various cultures and to be interested in and tolerant of them while also remaining open-minded.

His main aim, as it is elucidated in this paper, is to, by no means, clarify a new pattern of poem but rather to define and open out a new “emblematic poetry” 1 that will incorporate the basis psychology and overall view of the poet. Herbert very succinctly lighted the hieroglyphs in his few poems, made them effective and touch-stone to examine the values of poetic soul, and signifying the meaning with a more realistic and symbolic sense.
