Download or read book Gods in the World written by Aftab S. Jassal and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the north Indian state of Uttarakhand, in the Central Himalayas, Hindu deities are ever present in the lives of devotees. Through ritual practices of placemaking, spirit mediums, oracles, priests, and other specialists bring these beings into embodied form, calling on them for healing and counsel. In exchange for alleviating human suffering, deities ask that a place be made for them—in homes, villages, and temples, and in bodies, lives, and communities. Gods in the World is a richly descriptive and evocative ethnography of Hindu ritual practices that shows how deities and other supernatural agents come to matter to ordinary people. Aftab S. Jassal traces how acts of placemaking, including healing practices that repair and restore relations between people and deities, allow deities to participate and intervene in human affairs. Many of the professional healers, storytellers, musicians, spirit mediums, and lay devotees who are chronicled belong to marginalized Dalit communities. These communities are at the forefront of combined pressures of tourism, neoliberal development, and Hindutva nationalist politics and often find creative ways of responding to their changing worlds. Bringing together fresh insights on the dynamics of caste and gender with enduring questions about ritual, healing, and the nature of human-divine relations, Gods in the World offers a striking account of everyday Hinduism in a contested and rapidly changing region.
Download or read book Where Gods Dwell written by Kusum Budhwar and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the colourful and exuberant folk literature from the hills of Kumaon and Garhwal In the iridescent snows of the Central Himalayas known as Devbhoomi, the land of the gods, there is a story for every mountain, river and tree. Kusum Budhwar introduces us to Kumaon and Garhwal’s rich and rarely translated folk literature by retelling the colourful and exuberant stories of the region. Whimsical and imaginative, these are tales of high adventure, luminous love and romance, benevolent pastoral gods, local heroes, brave medieval warriors, sacred sites and historical anecdotes, all of which are equally popular in these parts but little known outside. Arranged in sections, each focusing on a particular theme, the book opens with Nanda Devi, the patron goddess of the region, believed to be the daughter of the Himalayas. In the sections that follow we become intimately acquainted with the enchanting adventure sagas of the Ramola clan, the Ramola Gathas; the romantic ballads ‘Malushahi’ and ‘Haru Heet’; the tale of Chyongompa, the demon bird; and the simple stories, imbued with faith, of local gods and goddesses like Golu Dev and Devmangala, among others. Where Gods Dwell not only allows us to savour the stories of the hills, resonating with the cheerful cadences of mountain streams and the dark silence of the forests, but also offers us a rare glimpse of the culture, life and society of the people of the region whose lives are shaped by the rugged terrain they inhabit and who revere the mountains on which they make their home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of God! “It took about two hours for the ferocious flood to finally reach Pune. But it did it in style. Even the soldiers of Genghis Khan would have been proud of such a destructively grand entry. And what happened next was absolute massacre and plunder!” It was a great flood that almost destroyed a great city! But was it a natural catastrophe or a human-made weapon of mass destruction? A 12-year old boy accidentally learns what had caused it. He grows up to become an archaeologist and discovers an ancient box in the same city of Pune. The box, which contains two objects of great significance, has come all the way from Ayodhya! But before he can officially announce it to the world, he goes missing and is labelled as a traitor! 33 years later, with the backing of a politician, his daughter, Durga, goes on a mission to find out what happened to her father and his great discovery. However, she is unaware that a 2,500-year-old evil organisation called Madakhanja is also after the box. Why is the politician helping Durga? Was her archaeologist father killed or did he flee the country? How did the ancient box travel from Ayodhya to Pune? Where is it now, and what does it contain? Why is the Madakhanja so desperate to have it? Will Durga be able to stand up to the Madakhanja’s malevolent power? Niranjan Mudholkar’s debut novel answers all these questions as it undertakes a thrilling and action-packed journey through cities, centuries and coincidences. Join Durga and an array of colourful characters as they fight for their personal causes and in the process discover their own truths! But where will this ‘truth’ take them? Will it shackle them or will it liberate them? And, importantly, will it lead them to ‘The Kingdom of God’?

Download or read book Self Care and Stress Management for Academic Well Being written by Clarke, Karis L. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-care is a topic that is often challenging in education. Educators are required to learn to teach, advise, and cope with organizational change as well as encourage their students to take responsibility for their actions, say no, identify burnout, establish a network of family and friends, schedule breaks, do things they enjoy, and take care of themselves physically. However, teachers often do not follow these guidelines themselves. It is important that teachers allow themselves the time and space to do the same things that they insist their students do. Moreover, it is important that administrators recognize and support these efforts as well. Self-Care and Stress Management for Academic Well-Being discusses why self-care for educators is needed in order for them to sustain the growth of the students at their institutions. It explores the ways in which educators devote themselves to helping students develop their creativity and their academic voices but do not always give themselves the same permission. Covering a range of topics such as physical care, stress, and self-advocacy, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, practitioners, scholars, administrators, instructors, and students.
