Haidee Muller het Tarka en sy mense se kleurryke geskiedenis gaan uitkrap, en met van die buurt se oudste inwoners, gemeenskapsmense en kenners gesels. Oom Abie Daniels was bekend vir sy langarm-dansmusiek as die saksofoonspeler van die gewilde Bay Jazz-orkes. Haidee het 'n ou langspeelplaat van die groep by Oom Abie gekry en daai langarm-musiek ingesluit in hierdie hoorbeeld.2016-01-2829 minOxford Centre for Hindu StudiesOxford Centre for Hindu StudiesTextual Authority (śruti) and Soteriological Reason (tarka) in Advaita VedāntaProf. Dilip LoundoFar from antinomic terms and more than just compatible terms, śruti and tarka seem to converge, in Advaita Vedanta, to the same soteriological discipline that constitutes the only means to attain liberation (mokṣa). Accordingly, śruti is revelation in the sense that it, basically, reveals a method of dialogical reasoning (anugṛhita tarka) that succeeds in eliminating one’s ignorance about Reality. Special emphasis will be given to the teachings of Śaṅkarācārya, Sureśvarācārya and Satccidanandendra Saraswati.2016-01-061h 16The Leviathan Files: A Mass Effect Actual PlayThe Leviathan Files: A Mass Effect Actual PlayFlashback Episode 4: TarkaSaving the best for last, check out Tarka’s flashback episode! Four aliens and a baby! If there’s any audio quality issues, it’s because we only get a limited amount of upload space per month hosting the show, and we had to fit this week’s show AND next week’s show in before it reset. Reducing data size of the episodes was the only way to do that. I promise the show won’t normally sound like this.
