With love & Gratitude XOXO Francie Love www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] Kirtan: Call and Response Kirtan: Call and Response Singing / Chanting Singing / Chanting “The human ability to make and be moved by music is a universal human trait. Like miracles, music is ultimately interconnected with a sense of the sacred, the numinous and the divine. Music not only represent the sacred it also calls it forth and embodies it as well.” — Candace Alcorta The word “Kirtan” literally means to cut. The idea is that we focus on a particular name or deity to cut through the delusion of the mind that makes us feel separate from the source. Here are just a few songs we share: In Bhakti, or the yoga of devotion, we surrender the ego, our intellect, our doubts, judgements & fears, and we harness the power of emotions to help fuel our connection with the divine. In opening our heart in this way we create greater awareness and understanding of our true nature, bringing us contentment, sweetness, compassion, light and energy. Sound has the power to awaken our physical and energetic bodies. Singing reminds us of our essential nature: joyful, open-hearted, centered, blissful. In kirtan or call and response devotional singing, we li! our voices to heal our spirits and raise our vibrations. We use repetition in order to loosen mental chatter, to move from the head to the heart and become one-pointedly focused, just as in meditation. We sing to have a visceral experience of being and to feel the connectedness and joyousness of all things In chanting the names of different deities, we chant not to an external force, but rather we invoke the qualities and essences which they represent, which we also embody. www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] Hindu Deities Hindu Deities The Pantheon of Hindu Gods is vast. There are said to be over 30,000 hindu deities. Yet, in fact, Hindus are a monotheistic religion worshiping one God. Hindus believe that there is only one ultimate reality; Brahman. Brahman is a supreme spirit that permeates everything. Brahman is entirely impersonal, and entirely impossible to describe. Everything in the universe is part of Brahman, but Brahman is more than the sum of everything in the universe. The Hindu gods serve as a way in which devotees can see, touch and feel this unknowable God, Brahman. They give the layperson a tangible, knowable aspect of the Supreme Being. Each of the Hindu Gods represents one aspect of Brahman. The God Shiva takes on the destructive aspect of Brahman. The Hindu God Vishnu preserves the working order of the universe. Each Hindu God is one tiny aspect of Supreme Being. www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] 10 Hindu Deities to Know for 10 Hindu Deities to Know for Yoga Yoga Deities represent archetypical patterns of thoughts and behaviour that are universally present within our individual psyches. By embodying these qualities in form, we can more easily identify the qualities and characteristics being represented within ourselves, so that we can better understand ourselves, and also live with more intention. Hindu Trimurti - Trinity of Gods: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva Brahma Brahma God of Creation, the Cosmos and all its being Brahma is the first of the Trimurti — the supreme trinity of Gods, along with Vishnu and Shiva Symbolises the mind and intellect as he is the source of all knowledge Brahama is depicted with 4 faces symbolising the completeness of knowledge, and 4 hands symbolizes aspects of the human personality – mind, intellect, ego and consciousness Divine Consort: His divine consort is Saraswati who gives him knowledge to run the universe Mantra to honour the creator and great teacher Gurubrahma Guruvishnu Gurudevo Maheswarah, Guru Saakshaat Param Brahma Tasmai Shri Guravey Namah. Just think, Vishnu sleeps in the cosmic ocean, and the lotus of the universe grows from his navel. On the lotus sits Brahma, the creator. Brahma opens his eyes, and a world comes into being, governed by an Indra. Brahma closes his eyes, and a world goes out of being. The life of a Brahma is 432,000 years. When he dies, the lotus goes back, and another lotus is formed, and another Brahma. Then think of the galaxies beyond galaxies in infinite space, each a lotus, with a Brahma sitting on it, opening his eyes, closing his eyes.” — Joseph Campbell www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] Vishnu Vishnu God of Preservation and Sustaining Also know as Narayana, Vasudeva and Har Symbolises Justice, Moral order He is omnipotent, omniscient and encourages kindness Divine Consort: Lakshmi – Goddess of wealth and happines Mantra for liberation, compassion, patience and when you need help remaining at peace in the face of fear or worry: Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya The glorious Vishnu is the sole refuge of mortals.

From his feet the Earth has originated. Verily, he is the inner self of all beings.” — The Upanishads www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] Ganesha Ganesha Beloved elephant-headed God who represents wisdom, good fortune Symbolises being the remover of Obstacles Family – Son of Shiva and Parvati Mantra for new beginnings and to remove obstacles: Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha "Remember, Yoga practice is like an obstacle race; many obstructions are purposely put on the way for us to pass through. They are there to make us understand and express our own capacities. We all have that strength, but we don’t seem to know it. We seem to need to be challenged and tested in order to understand our own capacities. In fact, that is the natural law. If a river flows easily, the water in the river does not express its power. But once you put an obstacle to the flow by constructing a dam, then you can see its strength in the form of tremendous power." – Swami Satchitananda Trinity of supreme Goddesses in Hinduism: Saraswati, Lakshmi, Kali Saraswati Saraswati Goddess of language, knowledge, wisdom, flow, the arts “The Flowing One” — represented as a beautiful woman playing a lute upon a pure white lotus Divine Consort of Brahman, Daughter of shiva and durga Mantra to help make learning easy: Om Aim Hrim Srim Hrim Saraswati Devyai Namaha Only ‘knowledge’ can help us to know the universe, which is vast like an ocean. It enlightens all minds.” — The Rig Veda www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] Lakshmi Lakshmi Goddess of abundance, prosperity, fertility, purity, grace Divine Consort to Vishnu, daughter of Vishnu and Durga Mantra for success and prosperity: Om Srim Hrim Klim Hrim Srim Mahalakshmayai Namaha “It sometimes strikes me how immensely fortunate I am that each day should take its place in my life, either reddened with the rising and setting sun, or refreshingly cool with deep, dark clouds, or blooming like a white flower in the moonlight. What untold wealth!” — Rabindranath Tagore, Indian Poet Kali Kali Goddess of death, time, change, destruction Symbolises mother-love and compassion Known for her protruding tongue, garland of skulls, and skirt of bones, Kali symbolizes the death of ego and reminds worshippers that the human body is a temporary condition only. Divine Consort of Shiva Mantra for protection: Om Sri Maha Kalikayai Namaha Whether Kali seems terrifying, fascinating, or loving depends on our state of consciousness and our level of both emotional and spiritual development. But she always invites us to a radical form ego-transcendence.” ― Sally Kempton www.PureFlow.Yoga ~ 00 ~ [email protected] Durga Durga Goddess of War — Divine Mother, Warrior, Leader, Fierce Compassion Symbolises: Durga helps protect mankind from evil forces and misery: jealousy, prejudice, hatred and ego.

    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.

  • Catholic Shrines in Chennai, India: the Politics of Renewal and Apostolic Legacy
    CATHOLIC SHRINES IN CHENNAI, INDIA: THE POLITICS OF RENEWAL AND APOSTOLIC LEGACY BY THOMAS CHARLES NAGY A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington (2014) Abstract This thesis investigates the phenomenon of Catholic renewal in India by focussing on various Roman Catholic churches and shrines located in Chennai, a large city in South India where activities concerning saintal revival and shrinal development have taken place in the recent past. The thesis tracks the changing local significance of St. Thomas the Apostle, who according to local legend, was martyred and buried in Chennai. In particular, it details the efforts of the Church hierarchy in Chennai to bring about a revival of devotion to St. Thomas. In doing this, it covers a wide range of issues pertinent to the study of contemporary Indian Christianity, such as Indian Catholic identity, Indian Christian indigeneity and Hindu nationalism, as well as the marketing of St. Thomas and Catholicism within South India. The thesis argues that the Roman Catholic renewal and ―revival‖ of St. Thomas in Chennai is largely a Church-driven hierarchal movement that was specifically initiated for the purpose of Catholic evangelization and missionization in India. Furthermore, it is clear that the local Church‘s strategy of shrinal development and marketing encompasses Catholic parishes and shrines throughout Chennai‘s metropolitan area, and thus, is not just limited to those sites associated with St. Thomas‘s Apostolic legacy. i Acknowledgements This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my father Richard M.

Retrofitting a Vedic Origin for a Classical Hindu Goddess Timothy Lubin Washington and Lee University Many Hindu deities as known from classical sources (i.e, from the epics, Purāṇas, and later religious literature and iconography) have a very slender profile in the Vedic texts, appearing in only a few passages and often represented in ways that seem peripheral to their full, classical personae. Ritualists and devotees steeped in that older literature took pains to connect those deities to Vedic mantras and rites, in order to validate them with the prestige of venerable orthodoxy as well as to provide a basis for Brahmin priestly roles in their worship. The case of the goddess Durgā is particularly striking in this respect, since her Vedic “footprint” is so small.

DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Context; Foreign Countries; Global Education; Indians; Middle Schools; Multicultural Education; Non Western Civilization; Religion Studies; *Religious Cultural Groups; Secondary Education; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS Hindu Art; *Hinduism; India ABSTRACT This teaching packet serves as a unit by itself or as part of preparation unit for a visit to the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery to see the exhibition "Puja: Expressions of Hindu Devotion." Focusing on Hindu religious objects found in an art museum, the packet suggests connections between art and world studies themes. In addition, these highly symbolic objects provide much material for discussion of the creation of images, whether in two or three dimensions, in speech, or in music. In this way, study of the objects provides a springboard for creativity in art, language arts, and music. This guide explains that puja is the act of showing reverence to a god, or to aspects of the divine, through invocations, prayers, songs, and rituals. An essential part of puja for the Hindu devotee is making a spiritual connection with a deity (often facilitated through an element of nature, a sculpture, a vessel, a painting, or a print).

  • A Study of Hindu Concepts About Gods and Goddess Hnin Mar Khin1
    58 Dagon University Research Journal 2020, Vol. 11 A Study of Hindu Concepts about Gods and Goddess Hnin Mar Khin1 Abstract This Paper focuses on the general study of Hinduism worship which began in ancient India between 2300 B.C and 1500 B.C. It also attempts to analyze main beliefs and practices of Hinduism from a wide range of traditional sources. The objectives of the paper are to explore the historical data relating to Hinduism, to connect all Hindus worship and to explain about belief in Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth, purity, fortune and prosperity). In revealing the account of Hindu, it is relied on the primary sources and the secondary documents, and the methods of narrating the events and linking the historical facts need to be considered. The study presents two results: discovery of the existence of Hinduism worship which belongs to the Aryans; and realization of the base on the Vedas and belief in dharma, karma, and reincarnation. By studying Hindu concept about god and goddess, it is recognized that Hinduism existed as a major world (world’s oldest) religion, one fundamental principle of the religion is the idea that people’s actions and thoughts directly determine their current life a future lives. Keywords: Account, Context, Hinduism, Historical Events, Worship Goddess Lakshmi Introduction In Myanmar, Hinduism is practiced by 0.5% of the population. Most Hindus in Myanmar are Burmese Indians. Hinduism, along with Buddhism, arrived in Burma during ancient times. Both names of the country are rooted in Hinduism; Burma is the British colonial officials’ phonetic equivalent for the first half of Brahma Desha the ancient name of the region.
