Download or read book What Exactly Is A Shiva Lingam written by Mr. Rahul Dudhane and published by Rahul Dudhane. This book was released on with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Shiva lingam is an aniconic representation of Lord Shiva. Hindus worship Lord Shiva mostly in the form of a Shiva lingam, but its meaning has been one of the most debated topics. There are mainly two groups; one believes it is a sexual organ and others believe it is not. They both give many different arguments in the support of their perspective. With the advent of science and technology, one more group has emerged which strongly believes that there is some sort of science behind the concept of Shiva Lingam. But what are the reasons behind this confusion? 1. There are some stories in the Hindu scriptures that depict it as a sexual organ while some stories say it is a column of fire. 2. Many different meanings of the words linga and yoni. 3. Ancient pillar/phallus worship. 4. Different practices of different Hindu sects. 5. The shape of a Shiva lingam. In February 2010, the encyclopedia Britannica removed a sentence about Shiva lingam from its article.“In temples and private shrines, Shiva is ... worshipped in the form of the lingam, or phallus, often embedded in the yoni, the symbol of the female sexual organ.”It is believed that it did so because of the pressure of Netizens, but I doubt that a website like Britannica would do so unless there is some valid reason behind it. When we talk about religion, the scriptures are of utmost importance. Therefore, in this book, I have sought refuge mainly in scriptures to determine what exactly a Shiva Lingam is, but I have also considered other things like archaeological evidence, logic, history, science, etc. I am sure that this book would not only answer what a Shiva lingam really is but also you would learn many new things about Hinduism.

Download or read book THIRTHA YATRA written by RAMESH GANGASHETTY and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2019-10-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India will just be a mere geography without its religious and spiritual ethos combined with moral values and civilization. If Bharat is known for its spiritual accomplishments and philosophical roots, one has to gratefully acknowledge the role played by its hallowed places of worship, holy rivers and magnificent mountain ranges which have inspired people for thousands of years. In particular, temples contributed in no small measure to Bharat's spiritual enlightenment, serving as a beacon to the rest of humanity. Every temple in this holy land has a story to tell, a legend to elevate our spirits and is a sacred space for all of us to experience inner joy. One can find the contribution of so many saints and rishis who devoted their entire life to many places of worship. In olden days, temples served as a great center for enriching all facets of human life—be it spiritual training or yoga; be it education; be it poetry and literature; be it fine arts and sculpture. There are thousands of fascinating temples, with great historical and spiritual backgrounds, spread all over the country. These temples can be divided into many groups, finding mention in innumerable scriptures. Which are they? Where are they located? This book is an attempt to collect and curate and tabulate information in brief which will certainly answer some of the queries a prospective yatri may have. All the information in the book was collated after personal visits to these places by author.

Download or read book God and Science written by Sridharan T.K.R and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about God and Science, exploring the concept of God with particular reference to Sanatana Dharma, also known as Hinduism. Sanatana Dharma is eternal religion, and irrespective of a particular individual’s faith, universally it can be followed. Thus, Hinduism stands above all other religions and is a way of life that can be adopted, as it is universal in adaptability. A classic example is that of Dr. Annie Besant, the founder and president of the Theosophical Society of India, who remained a Christian despite adapting to the Hindu way of life. Want to know why we have to go to a temple to pray, why idol worship should be followed? The answers are here. Following Sanatana Dharma alone can give an individual God-realisation or liberation. The scientific basis of Sanatana Dharma is explored in detail in relevant chapters. In short, this book will be a lucid introduction to Sanatana Dharma. Every believer of God will find it worth reading to have a conceptual understanding of God, prayer and the science behind them.

Download or read book Indigenous Practice and Community Led Climate Change Solutions written by Rani Muthukrishnan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centers Indigenous knowledge and practice in community-led climate change solutions. This book will be one of the first academic books to use the consciousness framework to examine and explain humans' situatedness and role in maintaining ecosystems' health. Drawing on teachings from the Indigenous Adi-Shaiva community, the authors present up-to-date research on meanings and implications of South Asian traditional cosmic knowledge, which focuses on relationality and spirituality connected to climate change. This knowledge can create innovative climate change solutions in areas including land, water, traditional management, sustainability goals and expectations, and state development projects. Overall, this book provides an innovative framework for nonviolent climate solutions, which has its foundations in a traditional cosmic and consciousness-based context. This book, which aims to bridge the gap between Indigenous and Western perspectives by re-educating researchers and decolonizing popular climate change solutions, will be of great interest to students and scholars studying climate change, conservation, environmental anthropology, and Indigenous studies on a broader scale.
