Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oriental Illustrations of the Sacred Scripture Collected From the Customs, Manners, Rites, Superstitions, Traditions of the Hindoos, Vol. 4 The Síva of India is both male and female; his right side being of the former, and his left of the latter sex; and his wife assumed both appearances, as circumstances might require. "'The Babylonians called Succoth-benoth, Mylitta, signifying Mother.' The wife of Síva, and she only (as far as I know), is called Máthá, or 'Mother.' "Amongst the Assyrians, 'the daughters or women once in their lives had to make a sacrifice of virtue to that goddess, Succoth-benoth.' And Lempriere says of her: 'A surname of Venus, among the Assyrians, in whose temples all the women were obliged to prostitute themselves to strangers.' The wife of Síva, amongst many other names, is called Váli or Báli, under which appellation she assumed the form of a girl of twelve years of age. And in Madura, Balane, and other places, beautiful virgins used to go the temple once in their lives, to offer themselves in honour of the goddess. The story was, that a god had converse with them, In all the temples of Siva and his consort (where it can be afforded), women are kept to dance and sing before the idols. "Amongst the Assyrians and others, 'the votaries of the above-named goddess worship sometimes in the dress of men, and at other times in that of women." The dancing-girls of many of the temples on that continent of India, at the feast called Mánampu, do the same thing.

Download or read book Encountering Diversity in Indian Biblical Studies written by David J. Chalcraft and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-20 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides analysis of a variety of biblical narratives and texts which are the vehicle for the expression, articulation and performance of diverse identities in the Indian context and is the first attempt to do so for a global audience of scholars and students. From pan-Indian social problems attributed to caste, class and gender inequality, to specific North Eastern tribal settings, Dalit struggles in rural Andhra Pradesh and the experience of Christian autorickshaw drivers in urban Chennai, the book explores the diverse geographical, cultural, social, economic and linguistic settings in which the Bible is encountered. The holistic and multidisciplinary approach to Biblical studies adopted broadens the field beyond textual exegesis. Encounters with the Bible are revealed in diverse chapters impacted by contexts of caste realities, the history of Indian Christianity, colonial and post-colonial frameworks and educational institutions. Full use is made of 'vernacular' texts and traditions including oral and written cultural, folk tale, literary and auto/biographical narratives in Tribal, Dalit and British colonial settings. Diversity of method is championed through including sociological analysis of Indian social realities, qualitative fieldwork techniques and a kaleidoscope of visual and sensory environments with over 30 photographs. The book celebrates and promotes diversity in Indian biblical studies, creativity and sometimes conflicting perspectives. Encountering Diversity in Indian Biblical Studies will be of interest to students, scholars and researchers working on post-colonial biblical studies and diversity in Christianity, particularly in the Indian context.
