Abstract: The hoary tradition of Hindu rituals and customs are maintained from the Puranic age to the postmodern India. The impact of cognitive and metacognitive strategies and meanings found in Sanskrit and Vedic literature and Puranas have a deep impact on moulding the thought process used in South Indian English literature and language. In my research I intend to explore �Sanskritization� and the Indian philosophy of life through ritualistic vision in the works of three famous literary artists i.e. R. K. Narayan, Raja Rao and Girish Karnad. Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit) language shapes, reshapes, reconstructs, and is reiterated in the Hindu Dravidian culture of South Indian writing in English and acts as an Indians� retreat into the past, finding solace in religion and philosophy amidst British rule in the colonial and post-colonial era. Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth argued that the first step for �colonized� people in finding a voice and an identity is to reclaim their own past (Barry 186). Thus Sanskrit language and literature acts as a cultural and social as well as psychological background in creating the South Indian famous literary works. I want to explore how the root of Indian literature, especially of South India, is rooted and linked with Vedas, the Upanishads and the Puranas of Sanskrit literature and its relation with Indian philosophy through the lens of ritualistic vision which moulds the mind and imagination of the people of India. Thus it is a process of �Sanskritization� of English language through the presentation of culture and traditions, rites and rituals. The �Sanskritization� of English should be seen as part of a wider sociocultural phenomenon that has historically characterized Indian civilization. From the primordial to the postmodern era rituals are carried on as a flux and continuous practices as described in the works of the South Indian literary genre. I want to explore how the theories like Marxism, Structuralism and other theoretical genres interpret rituals and what role rituals play in South Indian literature from the mythical, historical, psychological, political, socio-economic point of view to create an Indian philosophy and mystic vision of life. In Indian literature we find a reflection of Eastern philosophy, culture and an extensive use of Hindu rituals during natural disasters like drought, famine, flood etc. I will analyse how Nature plays an important role in moulding the rituals as these are mainly practised in the time of natural calamities to retain a cosmic order. In R. K. Narayan�s The Guide (1958), Raja Rao�s Kanthapura (1938), The Serpent and the Rope (1960), The Cat and Shakespeare (1965), Girish Karnad�s The Fire and the Rain (1995), the rituals like yaj�a, fasting, mantras and many other Hindu rites play the most significant role as a quest to mythical as well as metaphysical way of life. The writers� spiritual quest through the characters of their works influences me to work on that particular topic to comprehend the Hindu philosophy of life in India. Their select works can be seen in the light of ritualistic vision through philosophical views of the Upanishads (the relation between atman and Brahman) and �oceanic feeling� in the word of Romain Rolland and as defense mechanism in the word of Sigmund Freud. Thus a work of exploration on the works of the trio will reveal how the characters act in their works at a metaphysical level for the realization of the self.
