  • Hinduism's Treatment of Untouchables
    Introduction India is one of the world's great civilizations. An ancient land, vast and complex, with a full and diverse cultural heritage that has enriched the world. Extending back to the time of the world's earliest civilizations in an unbroken tradition, Indian history has seen the mingling of numerous peoples, the founding of great religions and the flourishing of science and philosophy under the patronage of grand empires. With a great reluctance to abandon traditions, India has grown a culture that is vast and rich, with an enormous body of history, legend, theology, and philosophy. With such breadth, India offers a multitude of adventuring options. Many settings are available such as the high fantasy Hindu epics or the refined British Empire in India. In these settings India allows many genres. Espionage is an example, chasing stolen nuclear material in modern India or foiling Russian imperialism in the 19th century. War is an option; one could play a soldier in the army of Alexander the Great or a proud Rajput knight willing to die before surrender. Or horror in a dangerous and alien land with ancient multi-armed gods and bloodthirsty Tantric sorcerers. Also, many styles are available, from high intrigue in the court of the Mogul Emperors to earnest quests for spiritual purity to the silliness of Mumbai "masala" movies. GURPS India presents India in all its glory. It covers the whole of Indian history, with particular emphasis on the Gupta Empire, the Moghul Empire, and the British Empire. It also details Indian mythology and the Hindu epics allowing for authentic Indian fantasy to be played.

Fu papa Onorio IV (1286-1287) a inaugurare in occidente lo studio delle lingue orientali e precisamente ebraico, greco e arabo; aveva studiato all'Università di Parigi prima di intraprendere la carriera diplomatica al servizio del papa Clemente IV (1265-1268), che lo inviò a celebrare l'investitura di Charles d'Anjou come re di Sicilia.

This Hindi month auspiciously encapsulates most festivals, and ceremonial rites and rituals and comprises most auspicious sacred days for worshipping and performing devotion. Most famously and prominently re-known for its SOMA-VAAR vratha or worshiping of SHIVA-SOMA-NATHA-Mahadeva – on the Mondays/ (Somavars); the Shravana maassa or month is the sacred month of Lord Shiva. In Shravan month the nakshattara/ constellation “Shravana” manifests with the sun entering Pushyami nakshattara firstly marking the ‘hindola’ and then after the 1st August, on August 2nd the SHRAVANA MASSA begins to shower auspicious blessings onto Mother Earth. For us here on the manushya-loka, the earthen clay, our moon reflects Shravana Maassa from August 2nd till end of August 2008. The days between 19th July 2008 and 1st August 2008 are sacred holy days dedicated to the spiritual world and the time for “PRAYASHCEET”.

  • Shiva to Shankara: Giving Form to the Formless
    Contents Note from the author Introduction: Phallic, but not fertile I Isolation of Shiva II Seduction of Shiva III Grace of Shiva Conclusion: Deconstructing Destruction About the Book About the Author Copyright Note from the author Hinduism is not a static religion. It has evolved with history. In its earlier form, it was known as the Vedic religion, a religion of a pastoral people, commonly identified as the Aryans. Their primary religious activity involved invoking a primal abstract force known as Brahman through a ritual known as yagna to satisfy various material aspirations. Hymns were chanted and offerings made into a fire altar in the quest for fertility and power. That the ritual involved no permanent shrine suggests its followers were a nomadic people. Hinduism today is very rooted to the land. It revolves around a shrine, often a vast temple complex. This shift is ascribed to the mingling of the Aryans, over 4,000 years ago, with agriculturists, city dwellers and forest tribes, a process which continued over a thousand years. Tantalizing glimpses of the assimilation process emerge from chronicles and epics written only in the last millennium. The most spectacular shift in the nature of Hinduism has been the move from almost agnostic ritualism to unabashed theism: from belief in a host of gods and spirits to belief in an all-powerful God. But like all things Indian, this belief was not so simple. Hindus visualized the all-powerful God in various ways. For some, God was the world-affirming Vishnu. For others, God was the world-rejecting Shiva.
