  • {PDF EPUB} Art of Osian Temples by Asha Kalia
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Art of Osian Temples by Asha Kalia Art of Osian Temples (Socio -Economic and Religious Life in India) This book is a result of several years of intensive research which consisted of several visits to the pleasing hamlet of Osian, the libraries and museums of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and New Delhi. Osian of today is a small town, but in its heyday, it was a bustling city and trade centre of Northern India. Here convoys brought grains and produce, the citizens were contented and happy. To demonstrate their love for God, for what He had given them, they built shrines and temples. The temples of Osian are comparable in beauty to those of Khajuraho and Bhubaneswar. The temples of Osian, though in a poor state now, have preserved their record well. The temples read like an illustrated book. In this book, an attempt has been made to show what India was like during the reign of Gurjara-Pratiharas. The sculptures of Osian show us what people wore, how they amused themselves, how they worshipped, how they lived, what their social life was like and what they believed in. This book is presented in sixteen chapters. Each chapter is self-contained and deals with a specific aspect of culture. Chapter One introduces the book, Chapter Two talks about the social life whereas Chapters Three through Six tell us about the dress, weapons, cosmetics, educational systems and how the people passed their leisure-time. Chapter Seven of the book deals with the economic life and Chapter Eight tells about the religious beliefs and method of worship.

  • Anand Karaj & LGBT
    The Anand Karaj – LGBT modern challenges to Sikhs This article addresses the question: ‘Can you be from the LGBT community & be a Sikh?’ If we study Sikh history, philosophy, scripture and codes of conduct, we find that only heterosexual relationships in marriage are allowed. Having LGBT sexual urges does not make a person an apostate of Sikhi but the individual is not allowed to follow up these urges into sexual relationships. This article was written some time ago and is now being presented with additional information and clarification with regards to a recent marriage ceremony that took place between a same sex couple, allegedly in the USA. The aim of the article is to provide an intellectual debate – based on evidence, not opinions; this is to be framed within Sikh history, Sikh Scriptures, the teachings of the Ten Gurus, the teachings of the current and eternal Guru of the Sikhs (Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee Maharaj) and Panj Pyare (who are the current physical representation of the Sikh Guru that officiate Amrit Sanchars [initiation ceremonies to become Sikhs]). The social media age has brought on a rampant misrepresentation of Sikh beliefs, as now ‘everyone’ has a voice and a social media account to make an opinion heard. That does not mean these opinions are correct or backed by any evidence and/or approved by any Sikh authority. Unscrupulous businesses will profit from this and provide whatever people want or ask for, with scant regard for the Guru: ਮਾਥੇ ਤਿਲਕੁ ਹਤਥ ਮਾਲਾ ਬਾਨ拓 ॥ Some apply ceremonial marks to their foreheads, hold malas (rosaries) in their hands and wear religious robes.

  • Meaning and Importance of the Turban
    Meaning and Importance of the Turban Types of Turban: Dumalla ‘Gol’ Dastar ‘Sidhi’ Dastar The turban or "pagri" or "pag" or "dastar" are different words in various dialects. All these words refer to the garment worn by both men and women to cover their heads. It is a headdress consisting of a long piece of cloth tied around the head. The Sikh turban, pag or pagrri is called a dastaar , which is a more respectful word in Punjabi for the turban. Importance of the turban in Sikhism When a Sikh man or woman dons a turban, the turban ceases to be just a band of cloth; for it becomes one and the same with the Sikh's head. The turban, as well as the five other articles of faith worn by Sikhs, has an immense spiritual and temporal significance. While the symbolism associated with wearing a turban are many — sovereignty, dedication, self-respect, courage and piety, the main reason that Sikhs wear a turban is to show their love, obedience and respect for the founder of the Khalsa Guru Gobind Singh. Historical Background The turban has been worn by people for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, the turban was worn as an ornamental head dress. They called it ‘pjr’, from which is derived the word ‘pugree’, so commonly used in India. Kohanim (priests) in the Jewish temple in Jerusalem wore turbans; they go back at least as far as biblical times! Traditionally in India, the turban was only worn by men of high status in society; men of low status or of lower castes were not allowed or could not afford to wear a turban.
