Indian Civilization is the conglomeration of various ethnic traditions; Years of amalgamation and change have led Indian civilization to have diversity of culture religion, language, and caste groups.1 The social reform movements, tried for the emancipation of these low caste people, before coming of these social reformers, many of the low caste people had chosen to come out from the caste system is by getting religious conversion, getting converted either to Christianity or to Islam, prior to these social reformers the saints like Kabir, Ravidas, Namdev, like wise and many other fought for the abolition of the caste system and emancipate the low caste from the social bondages.2 The other way for the untouchables was to get converted to either Islam or to Christianity, this was to get rid of the bondages of the humiliations of the caste system, but the conversion was not confined to the weaker sections, but in the medieval period too many people got converted to Islam or Christianity either by force or by their will.

  • An Assessment of Jotirao Phule's Approach to Hindu Social Reform
    CONFRONTING CASTE AND BRAHMANISM: AN ASSESSMENT OF JOTIRAO PHULE’S APPROACH TO HINDU SOCIAL REFORM S.K. Chahal Abstract This paper examines the approach of Jotirao Govindrao Phule (1827- 1890), the foremost social reformer and thinker as well as one of the nation-builders of modern India, with regard to the issue of Hindu social reform in India. A radical social reformer of 19th-century Maharashtra, Phule visualized Hindu society free from all social inequalities based on caste, class and gender. He showed extreme concern for the suppressed and the marginalized sections of Hindu society, and started a crusade against the orthodoxy and the “slavery” it imposed upon the downtrodden sections of Hindu community for centuries. The paper is based on the proposition that Phule’s framework of Hindu social reform was radical and his movement was a sort of Hindu reformation movement. His approach to Hindu social reform appears to be altogether different from that of the “revivalist” reformers of 19th century who represented the so-called mainstream tradition of Hindu social reform in modern India. Phule came out with his own idea of the religion, i.e. Sarvajanik Satya Dharma (Universal Religion of Truth). In order to materialize his concept of “true religion”, he and his colleagues founded in 1873 Satyashodhak Samaj (society of truth seekers) in Pune. The set of principles the Samaj drew up shortly after its formation included belief in equality of all human beings, restoration of whose natural/human rights was one of its aims. Phule was more of a social revolutionary than a social reformer.

The process of change, in order to qualify as 'deve- lopment', must be assessed in terms of some pre-existing or external 27 ends. Thus to discuss development we have to discuss values. This has been called the 'value-relative' nature of the concept of development. India without Mystification The substratum of development is provided by a whole culture, where Comments on Nussbaum values are not simply 'economic goods', but much more broad-based. Besides, a culture or a tradition is like a living organism, an on-going and Sen thing, never a static or frozen piece. It seems also to be 'self-conscious': it considers, decides and rejects. Hence a rational criticism can very well be internalto it. For a change to count as development, we need some sort of evaluation of values. Many substantive issues arises here. As development can be a self- conscious choice should we let ourselves be blown off our feet by the stormy wind of technological development?

But in ruthless state conspiracy, they have become a 'Sheep', 'Shudra'. Until the appearance of Hari-Guruchand Thakur from faraway, undivided India has not seen such a significant role in the centuries of religion, society, education, industry, literature, culture, economy and politics. Even today, they do not know their glorious tradition or they are not allowed to know about them. However, after the emergence of Hari-Guruchand's Matua religion (about 200 years ago), they began to take a little bit, but still they were drenched like a sinking ship, due to the lack of proper sailors in different Castes-Varnas. Key words: Namah, Shudra, Namahshudra, Reservation, Guruchand Thakur. ‘Namasudra’ is one of the 60 Scheduled Castes of which the official list of Scheduled Castes of the government of West Bengal is composed. ‘Namah’ and ‘Shudra’ are contradictory terms.(1) Although there is no ‘Shudra’ words in the case of other Scheduled Castes, but this juxtaposition takes place in the case of ‘Namah’. ‘Namah’ is written in ‘Namasudra’on Caste certificate, it is not sub-portion of Hindu religion or Hindu Caste.

As the world is lighted by the rays of the moon, so every living being is born out of the same Divine Sprit Lalon Faqir The unique endeavour of India had always been the establishment of unity amidst diversity, directing various road-ways towards a self-same objective and to realise and feel doubtlessly the unity amongst multiplicity as its innermost appreciation- whatever difference seems apparent from outside and to discover the deeper link inherent in it without destroying them...India never discards anything but makes everything her very own by accepting everything Rabindranath Tagore Acknowledgment The principle objective of the present dissertation is to explore the concept of secularism from Indian context. First of all, I thank Sri Rabindra Nath Roy, my maternal uncle who gave me the chance to educate myself when times were adverse and education was not a prominent aspect.

  • The Dikpālas of Ancient Java Revisited a New Identification for the 24 Directional Deities on the Śiva Temple of the Loro Jonggrang Complex

The objective of the present inquiry is to identify this set of 24 deities form- ing Śiva’s retinue ‒ an unresolved issue in the art history of Central Java. Our findings have implications for the understanding of the iconographic master plan of Loro Jonggrang, and, in a wider sense, of developments in Indo- Javanese and Balinese iconography. 1 The authors would like to thank Arlo Griffiths and Mark Long for their copious comments (the latter also for having provided them with his recent photos of panels D5 and D15, see Figures 8 and 10), and the two anonymous referees who reviewed the manuscript for their useful sugges- tions.

  • 8. Growth and Development of Satya Sanatan Mahima Dharma and Its Widespread Impact on Odisha in 19Th Century
    The Researchers’ - Volume VI, Issue II, 20 June-2020 ISSN : 2455-1503 International Research Journal (Double-blind peer-reviewed) Impact Factor - 5.882 Date of Acceptance : 25 April 2020 DOI - 10.21276/tr.2020.6.2.AN8 Dr Raghumani Naik 8. Growth and Development of Satya Sanatan Mahima Dharma and its widespread impact on Odisha in 19th Century Dr Raghumani Naik Assistant professor in History, NSCB (Govt. Lead) College (Affiliated to Sambalpur University) Dist. Sambalpur, Odisha email: [email protected] Abstract Satya Sanatan Mahima Dharma in Odisha was founded by Mahima Gosain. He was the obscure prophet of Odisha who had left behind a new religion and a new organization behind him. He was against idol worship and believed in one formless God. Mahima Gosain was absolutely innocent of modernization. Therefore, Satya Sanatan Mahima Dharma was autochthonous to the core and was deeply rooted in the Indian traditions. The religious movement which Mahima Gosain started was perhaps, the most revolutionary in the religious history of modern India. Its summon bonum is humanism. Its credential pins around the deliverance of man. It prescribes the path of complete surrender to Alekha Brahman for transmigration of Soul. While the other socio-religious movements of the last quarter of 19th century were confined to educated people in the urban centres of India, Mahima Dharma with its simple philosophy could reach the common people in the villages of Odisha and assumed the dimension of a mass movement. This movement became so significant that it may be regarded as the harbinger of renaissance in Odisha. It harped at the idolatrous, polytheism, caste system, untouchability, domination of priesthood, religious superstition and social obscurantism, animism and barbaric custom.

  • Video 2 Saint Francis: Becoming an Instrument of Peace Practical Exercises Linked to Videos
    Video 2 Saint Francis: Becoming an Instrument of Peace How to Use This Course These videos are part of an ongoing monthly series in the teachings of Eknath Easwaran. The talks on this video, like all of Easwaran’s talks, are rich and deep in content. They shed light on many aspects of life, but their true value emerges as we try to apply their teachings in our daily lives. The Guide is meant to be used in conjunction with a daily practice of Easwaran’s eight-point program, based on passage meditation. We do not recommend following the practical exercises if you are not practicing this program according to the instructions given in Easwaran’s book Passage Meditation. The practical exercises are suggestions for you to explore as they seem appropriate in your life. If you are already familiar with Easwaran’s books, you will have seen some of these exercises before. But we suggest that you take this opportunity to really put them into practice, and discover their great power to deepen your spiritual life. Try them in moderation, exercising your common sense and not taking them to extreme lengths. Easwaran, like Mahatma Gandhi and many other mystics, always emphasized the importance of the middle path. Before or after watching each talk, we suggest that you read through the notes (especially the Outline of the Talk, which will help you assimilate the overall structure), and the practical exercise. Then, after watching the talk, try to put the exercise into action in your life. A week or so later, you may find it interesting to watch the talk again, with the experience of the exercise fresh in your mind.
