  • SACRED SPACES and OBJECTS: the VISUAL, MATERIAL, and TANGIBLE George Pati
    SACRED SPACES AND OBJECTS: THE VISUAL, MATERIAL, AND TANGIBLE George Pati BRAUER MUSEUM OF ART | APRIL 13 — MAY 8, 2016 WE AT THE BRAUER MUSEUM are grateful for the opportunity to present this exhibition curated by George Pati, Ph.D., Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and Valparaiso University associate professor of theology and international studies. Through this exhibition, Professor Pati shares the fruits of his research conducted during his recent sabbatical and in addition provides valuable insights into sacred objects, sites, and practices in India. Professor Pati’s photographs document specific places but also reflect a creative eye at work; as an artist, his documents are also celebrations of the particular spaces that inspire him and capture his imagination. Accompanying the images in the exhibition are beautiful textiles and objects of metalware that transform the gallery into its own sacred space, with respectful and reverent viewing becoming its own ritual that could lead to a fuller understanding of the concepts Pati brings to our attention. Professor Pati and the Brauer staff wish to thank the Surjit S. Patheja Chair in World Religions and Ethics and the Partners for the Brauer Museum of Art for support of this exhibition. In addition, we wish to thank Gretchen Buggeln and David Morgan for the insights and perspectives they provide in their responses to Pati's essay and photographs.

Preface: Tirth Yatras or pilgrimages have been an integral part of Hinduism. Pilgrimages are considered quite important by the ritualistic followers of Sanathana dharma. There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

  • Stylesheet IJIE
    IRIE International Review of Information Ethics Vol. 9 (08/2008) Patheneni Sivaswaroop: The Internet and Hinduism – A Study Abstract: This paper discusses some results of a sample study on how Hindus are using the internet for religious pur- poses comparing their on-line and off-line religious activities. The behaviour is similar to those reported for different religions from different countries. But it is found that 74% of the sample pray daily, where only 16% go daily to a local temple. This seems to be a major difference between Western and the Hindu religions. In Hinduism going to temple is secondary, as each Hindu house has generally a pooja (room/corner). The survey reports and the uses of the internet by Hindus as well as whether the internet increases religious tolerance or hatred.

  • Ayurveda, the Traditional System of Medicine Gives Equal to Daily Regimen As Well As Seasonal Regimen
    Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine gives equal to daily regimen as well as seasonal regimen. Both are dependent. Because we change our daily regimen according to seasons. Humans are blessed with a beautiful environment to live in. The nature of the environment changes with the seasons. There are six seasons. Summer, rainy, spring, autumn, early winter and late winter. One season accompanies the other in the form of a cycle. In our life’s journey, we pass through childhood, middle age, old age which is not under our control. Similarly we have to face all season irrespective of what your age is or where you live in. Seasons are a part of our life. Ayurveda has described each season with its features and appropriate regimen in ritucharya chapter. Ritu means season and charya means regimen. From this we come to know that regimen in each season is different from the other. Another thing is that seasons is not unique in all parts of the world. The basic concepts in Ayurveda is related to tridoshas. Vata, pitta and kapha are the tridoshas. Human body can’t exist without these basic principles. These doshas are subjected to variation according to ages, day and night, food, lifestyle, seasons etc. Doshas predominate in a particular season depends upon the characteristic feature of that season. Each season has its own features. Seasons are formed as a result of earth’s position with respect to sun. Depending on this, there are two major divisions: uttarayana and dakshinayana. In case of uttarayana, sun is predominant. Strength of the person decreases during this season.
