Book excerpt: Lord Hanuman is one of the most widely worshiped Gods of Sanatana Dharma. Many people are seen worshipping him on Tuesday and Saturday. India is filled with perhaps the grandest temples of Hanuman in every corner. Lord Hanuman was an ardent devotee of Lord Rama and he was also a main character in the Ramayana. We know Hanuman as a ape or monkey, but he belongs to a particular species 'Kapi'. The 'Kapi' species had their faces somewhat like monkeys and had a tail like apes, but the rest of their body was the same as that of us humans. Those people were very intelligent, brave and powerful. There was also an empire of those who also had a king. They ruled in many parts of India and they were ruled in some of the more remote parts of India at that time which we know today by the name of Indonesia, Jakarta, Thailand etc. where they ran their kingdom. Over time, their species went extinct for no particular reason. Recently, a person confirmed the sighting of a group of some people of 'Kapi' species in a dense forest which numbered around 40 - 50. Lord Hanuman, who was given the boon of immortality by Lord Rama, is still alive and gives sight (Darshan) to his devotees. In part 1, we will discuss about the divine life and achievement of Lord Hanuman. Goswami Tulsidas, who is believed to be the reincarnation of Maharishi Valmiki, got sight (Darshan) of not only Hanuman but also Lord Shree Rama with the help of a phantom, and with his inspiration he composed 'Ramcharitmanas' poetry as well as 'Hanuman Chalisa' and many other poetries. In part 2 we will discuss about Tulsidas's life and achievements.The "Hanuman Chalisa" is a Hindu devotional hymn (Strotra), which addresses to Lord Hanuman. It has forty hymn lines (Chaupais) on Lord Hanuman, which has been authored by a great poet "Tulsidas" in the "Awadhi" language. But he became popular by his best known text "Ramcharitmanas". The "Hanuman Chalisa" word is derived from the word "Hanuman" as this hymn is about Lord Hanuman; and the the "Chalisa" is derived from the word "Chalis". The word "Chalis" is a hindi word which means Forty, as this hymn has forty lines ar verses (couplets are excluded). This hymn or prayer is authored in 16th Century. In part 3, we will know the meaning of Hanuman Chalisa. It is believed that if you are feeling any kind of fear or any danger or touble, then you should start reciting Hanuman Chalisa. With the grace of Lord Hanuman all your troubles and tproblems will be removed. Lord Hanuman will protect and bless you.

Download or read book Sanatana Dharma and Plantation Hinduism Second Edition Volume 1 written by Ramesh Gampat and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Missionaries worked hard to convert immigrants. Their first order of business was to denigrate Hinduism, designate Hindus as heathen, and disparage their culture, food and even attire. Immigrants stubbornly resisted, led by the tiny educated elite, including Brhmaas whom we call Brahmins. Conversion was a failure at least up to the end of the 19th century but picked up a self-generating momentum thereafter. The result is that the share of Hindus in Guyana’s Indian population declined from 83.5 percent in 1880 to 62.8 percent in 2012. The largest portion of the contraction was lost to Christianity. The loss notwithstanding, even a casual observer would conclude that Guyanese Hindus, at home and in the Diaspora, are a very religious people. Many of us do a jhandi or havan once annually; others do the more elaborate and costlier yajña, where everyone is welcome, once or twice in their lifetime. Most of us do a short daily puja – prayers, offerings, reading the stras and listening to bhajan – in our homes. An important, but perhaps unintended, way immigrants countered conversion to Christianity was an unplanned movement towards a “synthesis” that brought Hindus, regardless of caste or sect, under a “unitary form of Hinduism.” The “synthesis” began around the 1870s and was completed by the 1930s to the 1950s. Guyanese Hindus call the unified corpus of religious beliefs and practices that emerged from the “synthesis” Sanatana Dharma. Ramesh Gampat labels it Plantation Hinduism in this path-breaking book. The book argues that the brand of Hinduism practiced is inconsistent with Sanatana Dharma, called Vednta by the more philosophically inclined. Plantation Hinduism features an extraordinary dependence upon purohits (pandits), which has anaesthetized the Hindu mind and render him unable to think, question and inquire when it comes to Dharma. Rituals and bhakti have been degraded and turned into desire-motivated worship; devats have been misconstrued as Brahman rather than as limited manifestation of the one non-dual pure Consciousness; belief in the multiplicity of gods encourages image worship; and superstitions anchor Guyanese Hindus to tradition and mere belief. Plantation Hinduism is little more than desire-motivated actions, dogmas and superstitions. Absent is the idea that Sanatana Dharma is a spiritual science no less scientific than hard sciences, such as physics and astronomy. The central message of Vednta is the innate divinity of every person and the freedom to realize that divinity through anubhava, direct personal experience of Supreme Reality.
Download or read book The Ramayana and Other Hindu Texts written by Anita Ganeri and published by Evans Brothers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's "small wars," "imperial wars," or, as the Pentagon now terms them, "low-intensity conflicts," have played an essential but little-appreciated role in its growth as a world power. Beginning with Jefferson's expedition against the Barbary Pirates, Max Boot tells the exciting stories of our sometimes minor but often bloody landings in Samoa, the Philippines, China, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Mexico, Russia, and elsewhere. Along the way he sketches colorful portraits of little-known military heroes such as Stephen Decatur, "Fighting Fred" Funston, and Smedley Butler. From 1800 to the present day, such undeclared wars have made up the vast majority of our military engagements. Yet the military has often resisted preparing itself for small wars, preferring instead to train for big conflicts that seldom come. Boot re-examines the tragedy of Vietnam through a "small war" prism. He concludes with a devastating critique of the Powell Doctrine and a convincing argument that the armed forces must reorient themselves to better handle small-war missions, because such clashes are an inevitable result of America's far-flung imperial responsibilities.

Download or read book The Life of a Text written by Philip Lutgendorf and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1991-07-23 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of a Text offers a vivid portrait of one community's interaction with its favorite text—the epic Ramcaritmanas—and the way in which performances of the epic function as a flexible and evolving medium for cultural expression. Anthropologists, historians of religion, and readers interested in the culture of North India and the performance arts will find breadth of subject, careful scholarship, and engaging presentation in this unique and beautifully illustrated examination of Hindi culture. The most popular and influential text of Hindi-speaking North India, the epic Ramcaritmanas is a sixteenth century retelling of the Ramayana story by the poet Tulsidas. This masterpiece of pre-modern Hindi literature has always reached its largely illiterate audiences primarily through oral performance including ceremonial recitation, folksinging, oral exegesis, and theatrical representation. Drawing on fieldwork in Banaras, Lutgendorf breaks new ground by capturing the range of performance techniques in vivid detail and tracing the impact of the epic in its contemporary cultural context.
