Upadhyay

Upadhyay, also spelled Upadhyaya (sanskrit: उपाध्याय), is a surname used by some Brahmin people in Nepal and India.

Upādhyāya is the surname of some members of the Madhwa Shivalli Brahmins and Havyaka Brahmins of Karnataka, Kota Brahmins of the Kundapur and surrounding areas of Udupi and the Audichya Brahmins of Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh. The Gujarat Brahmins of Shandilya are in Surat. Amongst Telugu Brahmins, Upadhyay is turned into Upadhyayula, with an "ula" at the end.

Notable people with the surname include:

  • Amar Upadhyay, Indian model, film and television actor
  • Amod Prasad Upadhyay (born 1936), Nepalese social worker and politician
  • Ayodhya Prasad Upadhyay (1865–1947), writer of Hindi literature
  • Brahmabandhab Upadhyay (1861–1907), Bengali Brahmin, nephew of the Indian freedom-fighter Kalicharan Banerjee
  • Chandramauli Upadhyay, Indian astrologer
  • Chintan Upadhyay (born 1972), Indian contemporary artist, arrested in connection with the double murder
  • Harilal Upadhyay (1916–1994), Gujarati author
  • Jain monasticism

    Jain monasticism refers to the order of monks and nuns in the Jain community. The term nirgrantha "bondless" was used for Jain monks in the past. Digambaras use the word muṇi for male monastics and aryika for female monastics. Śvētāmbaras use the word sadhvis for female monastics. Another ancient term, samaṇa "striver", is used mainly by the Sthānakavāsī. The monastic practises of two major sects Digambara and Śvētāmbara sect vary greatly but the main principles of both the sects are same.

    Digambara monasticism

    Digambara means "those whose, garment (ambara) is the element that fills the four quarters of space (dig-directions)". Observing complete abstinence, Digambara monks don't wear any clothes. A Digambara monk is permitted to carry only three things: one Morpichhi and one Kamandalu (water gourd) and shastra (scripture). Acharya Kundakunda is the most revered acharya of present dussama (read as Dukhma) kaal of present Avasarpani era (descending half time cycle as per Jain cosmology). Every Digambara monk is required to follow the 28 vows (vrats) compulsory.

    Opeth

    by: Opeth

    Ghost of Mother
    Lingering death
    Ghost on Mother's bed
    Black strands on the pillow
    Contour of her health
    Twisted face upon the head
    Ghost of perdition
    Stuck in her chest
    A warning no one read
    Tragic friendship
    Called inside the fog
    Pouring venom brew deceiving
    Devil cracked the earthly shell
    Foretold she was the one
    Blew hope into the room and said:
    "You have to live before you die young"
    Holding her down
    Channeling darkness
    Hemlock for the Gods
    Fading resistance
    Draining the weakness
    Penetrating inner light
    Road into the dark unaware
    Winding ever higher
    Darkness by her side
    Spoke and passed her by
    Dedicated hunter
    Waits to pull us under
    Rose up to its call
    In his arms she'd fall
    Mother light received
    And a faithful servant's free
    In time the hissing of her sanity
    Faded out her voice and soiled her name
    And like marked pages in a diary
    Everthing seemed clean that is unstained
    The incoherent talk of ordinary days
    Why would we really need to live?
    Decide what is clear and what's within a haze
    What you should take and what to give
    Ghost of perdition
    A saint's premonition's unclear
    Keeper of holy hordes
    Keeper of holy whores
    To see a beloved son
    In despair of what's to come
    If one cut the source of the flow
    And everything would change
    Would conviction fall
    In the shadow of the righteous
    The phantasm of your mind
    Might be calling you to go
    Defying the forgotten mortals
