| Research Abstract |
This study is an endeavour aiming at a research encompassing various disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, art history, and religious studies. The focus of the project is the spread of Buddhism/Hinduism toward Southeast Asia with the accompaniment of the authority of Indian Epics or Dharmasastras. In this project I concentrated upon the religio-cultural impacts of India on the formation of dynastic traditions in Southeast Asia where different spiritual traditions like Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam and other religions have been coexisted side by side without fatal rivalry.
My attention was duly paid in particular to (1) the Majapahit archaeological sites of Buddhism/Hinduism of pre-Islamic era found throughout East Java Province, (2) the Ramakien, the Thai counterpart of the Indian Ramayana, and its royal patronage as observed at the educational institutions of the Ministry of Culture, Kingdom of Thailand, and (3) the religious elements of Indian origin in present-day Southeast Asia and their transformation under globalization and international tourism.
I have so far produced publications including a book of my single authorship related to the above topic. In those works I presented new perspectives to view Indian religious tradition, that of epics in particular, which exercised grave influence historically upon the formation of religious cultures and political authorities in this region.
