  • Women and Nature in the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha of Bengal

    Women and Nature in the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha of Bengal

    11 Separated by the text: Women and Nature in the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha of Bengal Namrata Rathore Mahanta* Abstract: Ashoka Shasthi Vrata is a popular vrata practiced by women in West Bengal for the long life and well-being of children. Celebrated in the month of Chaitra, the vrata is dedicated to the Puranic goddess Shashthi. The vrata rites involve the ritual narration of a story (katha) associated with the vrata. The narrative moves around the life of an abandoned female infant named Ashoka, found under an Ashoka tree in a hermitage and her subsequent encounter with the benevolent and malevolent aspects of the goddess Shashthi. The present paper focusses on the relationship between Ashoka and the flora and fauna in the hermitage in an attempt to read the Ashoka Shasthi Vrata Katha as a narrative of empowerment achieved through bonding between women and nature. Keywords: Women, Nature, Mother Goddesses, Puranas, Vratas, Motherhood omen‟s vratas are simple rituals performed for wish fulfillment and W are distinct from the other kinds of scriptural vratas. The present day women‟s vratas are remnants of primordial rites variously transformed through the puranic tradition. In Bengal, women‟s vratas are termed „ashastriya‟ or „meyeli vratas. Ashoka Shashthi is a popular vrata practiced by women of Bengal for the long life and well-being of their children. Celebrated in the month of Chaitra, the vrata is dedicated to the Puranic goddess Shashthi. The vrata rites involve the ritual narration of a story (katha) associated with the vrata. The narrative of the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha moves around Ashoka, an infant found lying under an Ashoka tree near a hermitage.

    Shani on the Web: Virality and Vitality in Digital Popular Hinduism

    religions Article Shani on the Web: Virality and Vitality in Digital Popular Hinduism Varuni Bhatia School of Arts and Sciences, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560100, India; [email protected] Received: 10 August 2020; Accepted: 3 September 2020; Published: 6 September 2020 Abstract: What do god posters circulating online tell us about the practice of popular Hinduism in the age of digital mediatization? The article seeks to address the question by exploring images and god posters dedicated to the planetary deity Shani on Web 2.0. The article tracks Shani’s presence on a range of online platforms—from the religion and culture pages of newspapers to YouTube videos and social media platforms. Using Shani’s presence on the Web as a case study, the article argues that content drawn from popular Hinduism, dealing with astrology, ritual, religious vows and observances, form a significant and substantial aspect of online Hinduism. The article draws attention to the specific affordances of Web 2.0 to radically rethink what engaging with the sacred object in a virtual realm may entail. In doing so, it indicates what the future of Hindu religiosity may look like. Keywords: digital Hinduism; god posters; Shani; Hindu images; Hinduism and mediatization The power of digital media impinges on everyday life in contemporary times with ever-increasing scope and intensity. The unfolding COVID-19 pandemic has brought this fact into sharper relief than, perhaps, ever before. Needless to say, this enhanced digitality has also permeated the sphere of religion and religious rituals. How different religions reformulate ritual practices in the light of the pandemic and the theological and doctrinal implications of such reformulations is a topic for a different discussion.
