Also included are easy-to-read historical timelines and advice on setting up visits to local places of worships. The stunning new mandir in Neasden, northwest London, is the setting for this fascinating introduction to the tenets and practices of Hinduism. Through objects and symbols, including images of the religion's various deities, children discover how Hindus make offerings to God, what happens during the sacred thread ceremony, the puja blessing ceremony, and the role played by priests.

Download or read book The Making of a Modern Temple and a Hindu City written by Deonnie Moodie and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kalighat is said to be the oldest and most potent Hindu pilgrimage site in the city of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). It is home to the dark goddess Kali in her ferocious form and attracts thousands of worshipers a day, many sacrificing goats at her feet. In The Making of a Modern Temple and a Hindu City, Deonnie Moodie examines the ways middle-class authors, judges, and activists have worked to modernize Kalighat over the past long century. Rather than being rejected or becoming obsolete with the arrival of British colonialism and its accompanying iconoclastic Protestant ideals, the temple became a medium through which middle-class Hindus could produce and publicize their modernity, as well as the modernity of their city and nation. That trend continued and even strengthened in the wake of India's economic liberalization in the 1990s. Kalighat is a superb example of the ways Hindus work to modernize India while also Indianizing modernity through Hinduism's material forms. Moodie explores both middle-class efforts to modernize Kalighat and the lower class's resistance to those efforts. Conflict between class groups throws into high relief the various roles the temple plays in peoples' lives, and explains why the modernizers have struggled to bring their plans to fruition. The Making of a Modern Temple and a Hindu City is the first scholarly work to juxtapose and analyze processes of historiographical, institutional, and physical modernization of a Hindu temple.
Download or read book Open Boundaries written by John E. Cort and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open Boundaries provides a new perspective on Jainism, one of the oldest yet least-studied of the world's living religions. Ten closely-focused studies investigate the interactions between Jains and non-Jains in South Asian society, with detailed studies of yoga, tantra, aesthetic theory, erotic poetry, theories of kingship, goddess worship, temple ritual, polemical poetry, religious women, and historiography. Viewing the Jains within a South Asian context results in a strikingly different portrait from the standard models represented in both traditional Western and Indian scholarship.

The messages from book awaken Hindu Jana to move from a state of imperfection to a state of perfection: One Jiva at a time, one Samaj at the time, one Nagar at a time, and one Mahajanapada at a time. About Shree Rama Rajya Parishad: Shree Rama Rajya Parishad urges Hindu Jana to accept Bhagwan Mansha (wisdom) to have diversity and distribution of Guna (gifts and skills. It motivates Hindu Jana to grow up to be Shishu Praudha (adult children) of Bhagwan. As Praudha, they will not only take care of themselves but also help Muka (mute), Akantha (voiceless), and Vidhura (helpless). It supports a free-market economy. And accept inequality due to diversity and inequality of skills. Parishad believes in an elected civilian government with limited-term dictatorial powers. Their primary roles would be to maintain Dharma (law and order), Samanta (fairness), and act as managers of the public resources; passing new laws and regulations would be their secondary role.
