Download or read book Folklore of Tribal Communities written by N. Patnaik and published by Gyan Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Unwritten Literary World of Tribal Communities is nothing but the Oral Literature or Folklore. It covers stories, legends, myths, song, dances, riddles, proverbs, metaphors and such other aspects of their culture which are in their memory and handed down from generation to generation. These sources of their literary world speak of their spiritual world and the eco-system. The older persons are the store house of of their oral literature and from these sources the literary world of theirs is disseminated among the youngsters. This book gives the folklore of four tribal communities namely, the Kharias, the Oraons, the Santals and the Mundas of Orissa. The Kharias are a hunting and food gathering community, the Oraons are noted for the dance and music and the Santals are well known as hard working cultivators and skilled in wall painting, and noted for their sense of beauty. The cultural patterns of these tribal communities and their life-ways and thought-ways are different from one another as revealed in the analysis of their oral literature. Even though they lead a life full of wants and difficulties, they are very labourious and joyful by virtue of which they forget their sorrows and miseries.
Download or read book Spirituality and its Evolution written by Harendra N Bora and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Homo-Sapiens, the ancestors of modern man had resorted to ceremonial burials around 30-40 thousand years ago, for the welfare of the souls in the afterlife hinting that they believed in some form of elementary spirituality. Such belief of the Homo sapiens had, later, led to growing beliefs of ‘animism’ and shamanism. The turning point in the lifestyle of the Homo-sapiens came since around 11700 years ago with the coming of the warmer climate of the Holocene period facilitating the growth of cereals, crops, and the rearing of animals while living a life of sedentary agricultural farmers. Security of food and shelter has caused a cognitive revolution in humans to innovate faiths and religions. Yoga and asceticism had been innovated in the Indus Valley Civilization igniting the light of spirituality for the entire world. Neuroscientists have of late, undertaken a number of researches on the meditational impact on the brain; based on the findings, neuroscientists suggest that feeling of religiosity, godliness or spirituality is generated due to the impact of meditational practices and that such feelings can be regenerated artificially by manipulating specific region of the brain. The book thus goes to discuss, briefly, all the related issues on spirituality.

Book excerpt: On Human Nature: Biology, Psychology, Ethics, Politics, and Religion covers the present state of knowledge on human diversity and its adaptative significance through a broad and eclectic selection of representative chapters.

Download or read book Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics written by Juan Valdez and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 918 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics (Theology Reconsidered) By: Juan Valdez The science of our modern age is able to neither address nor solve our current global problems. Author Juan Valdez believes we should study humanity’s ancient wisdom and philosophy texts to develop a new intellectual paradigm that can respond and support our current needs. Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics (Theology Reconsidered) is an in-depth study of the origins and meanings of ancient philosophies before they were fractured into mythology and religions and attacked by modern science. Beginning with creation mythology in Eurasia through the development of philosophical thought, to the Scientific Revolution to our own modern Quantum Era, the progression – and abandonment – of ancient wisdom is carefully studied. Valdez reviews and analyzes the ancient texts themselves to understand what they truly say and not what later historians have said about them. The Indo-Aryan Vedas, the Torah, Rene Descartes’ Discourse on the Method and Principles of Philosophy, Neils Bohr’s Atomic Theory, and more, are all respectfully and critically assessed. As enlightened as we may consider ourselves, Valdez calls attention to how limited modern thought has become. By reviewing past wisdom, we can not only rediscover the roots of modern thought but place Wisdom itself at the top of intellectual pursuits. Eurasian Philosophy and Quantum Metaphysics (Theology Reconsidered) is a rich and nuanced study on how humanity has thought of itself.

This book was released on with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to free society from the clutches of misleading religion rituals, Swamiji compiled a book - ‘Shanka Samadhan’ (Doubts and clarifications). In this book, Swamiji has resolved the prevailing pretentious rituals by giving references of the discourses of the great saints and sages as well as citing the dictates of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, the Ramayana and the Purana on topics such as Who should be Worshiped, Religious Rituals (Karmkand), Havan, Yagya (Sacrificial Action), Celibacy, Gayatri, Yuga Dharma, Non-violence (Ahimsa), Sin and Righteousness, Santana Dharma, Varna (Caste System and its Classification), Vipra, Arya, Protection of Cows (Gau Raksha) etc. Essence of Sciences: - In the whole of the Universe, there is only one Religion (Dharma) – attainment of the immortal principle, peace forever, unbound happiness and it all begins with the faith in the Almighty. - Truth is the only Almighty. That what refutes this Truth cannot be called a religion (dharma). If the religion (dharma) does not have this truth then it will become meaningless. - Any body who has the unfaltering faith in the Almighty and recognises Ram or Om as the sign of the same thus chants the name is purely religious even if he does not know what the religion (dharma) is. - That what is forever, un-transformable, ancient, is the religion (dharma) and that what is there today but will not be there tomorrow, destructible is not religion. - There is a single Religion (Dharma) in the Universe. The strife to seek that forever being Almighty is the Religion (Dharma). If there are two almighties then He will need another Universe – to fulfil the same.
Download or read book Embodying the Vedas written by Borayin Larios and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-04-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popularly Hinduism is believed to be the world’s oldest living religion. This claim is based on a continuous reverence to the oldest strata of religious authority within the Hindu traditions, the Vedic corpus, which began to be composed more than three thousand years ago, around 1750–1200 BCE. The Vedas have been considered by many as the philosophical cornerstone of the Brahmanical traditions (āstika); even previous to the colonial construction of the concept of “Hinduism.” However, what can be pieced together from the Vedic texts is very different from contemporary Hindu religious practices, beliefs, social norms and political realities. This book presents the results of a study of the traditional education and training of Brahmins through the traditional system of education called gurukula as observed in 25 contemporary Vedic schools across the state of Maharasthra. This system of education aims to teach Brahmin males how to properly recite, memorize and ultimately embody the Veda. This book combines insights from ethnographic and textual analysis to unravel how the recitation of the Vedic texts and the Vedic traditions, as well as the identity of the traditional Brahmin in general, are transmitted from one generation to the next in contemporary India.
