We understand that it is extremely rare to achieve this, but if one secures the shelter of a genuine, bonafide Guru, then this almost unattainable goal can be attained. We have to surrender to the lotus feet of our Spiritual Master and serve Their Lordships under his instructions and we will then attain the transcendental loving service of Sri Sri Radha Krsna. Guru is the mercy incarnation of Krsna. The Spiritual master is called Guru because he is heavy with knowledge. He lives completely in accordance with the vedas. His presence in our lives is so important because only through the gift of knowledge, guidance, encouragement and correction, our Spiritual Master takes us personally over the horrendous waves of repeated birth and death. Just like a tiger, leaping from one place to another, all that he carries, be it an ant or an insect are transported with him. Similarly, we too can be transported to a better place because of our deep connection with our Spiritual Master. This world is like a quicksand of ignorance and we are being sucked deeper into it by our complacent and arrogant nature which helps to keep us ignorant of the

    Exploring the Identity of the Hare Krishna Devotees Beyond Race, Language and Culture

    THE ENDURING SELF: EXPLORING THE IDENTITY OF THE HARE KRISHNA DEVOTEES BEYOND RACE, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE by S.M. Ramson Student number: 205519769 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree (Religion and Social Transformation) In the School of Religion and Theology Faculty of Humanities University of Kwazulu Natal JOINT PROMOTERS: Professor P. Kumar Professor R. Sookrajh January 2006 i DECLARATION I, do hereby declare that this dissertation, which is submitted to the university for the degree of Master of Arts (Religion and Social Transformation), has not been previously submitted by me for a degree at any other university, and all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of a complete reference. S.M. Ramson Researcher Professor P. Kumar Professor R. Sookrajh ii DEDICATION This research is dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (The Hare Krishna Movement) who in the face of extreme difficulty presented the Gaudiya Vaisnava science of Self Realization and devotion to the Western world, whose courage, insights, perspicacity, purity and love forms the example that I wish to pursue. iii ACKNO WLEDGEMENTS It does not take the stance of a social scientist to understand that one of the enduring features of social dynamics amongst humans is the ability to extend themselves selflessly, and sometimes, even with great effort make sacrifices simply for the progress of others. There is no scale on which I can rate such benefaction, except to understand that I am overwhelmed by a sense of gratitude to several individuals to whom I wish to sincerely express my heartfelt appreciation.

  • Lakshmi Against Untouchability: Puranic Texts and Caste in Odisha

    Lakshmi Against Untouchability: Puranic Texts and Caste in Odisha

    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Lakshmi against Untouchability: Puranic Texts and Caste in Odisha RAJ KUMAR Raj Kumar ([email protected]) teaches at the Department of English, University of Delhi. Vol. 54, Issue No. 48, 07 Dec, 2019 The Lakshmi Purana as a literary text primarily raises issues relating to the religious rights of Dalit women in Odisha. Lakshmibrata kathas are stories that are recited while worshipping Lakshmi, the Goddess. Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, is now being worshipped all over India. But, the literary sources coming out in various Indian languages prove that the Lakshmibrata kathas originated mostly in the rice-producing states such as, West Bengal (WB), Bihar, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh (AP), Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh (UP). Bidyut Mohanty took nearly 20 years to prove this research hypothesis. His book, Lakshmi, the Rebel: Culture, Economy and Women’s Agency published by Har-Ananad, Delhi, 2019, is an attempt to study caste, culture, and gender, through myths. Taking the Lakshmibrata kathas as tools to investigate the various locations of gendered culture in India, the book connects between the past and the present and makes a bold statement about the degree of women empowerment in India. Mohanty, after critically analysing the Lakshmibrata kathas of various states Mohanty wrote, ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 “We have seen in many countries that political representation and economic opportunities which are indeed absolutely necessary for women’s empowerment have still proved to be inadequate in accomplishing women’s liberation in modern times. In this work, it has been argued that culture has to be an integral component in the composite perspective along with political and economic measures to bring about women’s liberation.
