  • Vēdas and Hinduism
    Vēdas and Hinduism By Venkata R Chaganti Vēdas and God • Vēda means to know. • Vēdas are given by God. (Why?) • Because God Created the world and so He gave his knowledge in this form. (why?) • So as to benefit all Humans and life in the Universe. • Because God has eternal knowledge, He and only He can give us the truth about the Universe. Vēdas and God • How many Vēdas are there? • 4 Vēdas and are called Rig-Vēda, Yajur-Vēda, Sāma-Vēda and Atharva-Vēda. • Why 4? Why not one? • God’s knowledge is in one form but the contents in the view of Humans is different. Something like energy. Energy is of different forms like Mechanical, Heat, Sound, Light etc., Vēdas and God • When were Vēdas given? • About 1.9 billion years ago when first Humans were born. • To whom the Vēdas were given? • To 4 Sages. Rig-Vēda to Agni, Yajur-Veda to Vāyu, Sāma-Vēda to Sūrya and Atharva-Vēda to Angirasa. • Why to these only? • Because they are eligible. How are they eligible? Because they were the best among those who did good deeds in the past Creation. (What?) Yes after every Creation there is a Destruction and after every Destruction there is a Creation. This Cycle has no beginning and no ending. This is the basis of Karma theory. How many years does a Creation exist? And how many years does a Destruction exist? 4,320,000,000 years for each. In which language were Vēdas given? सं कृ तम ् Sanskrit (Why?) Because it is not any one’s language.

  • FIU Study Abroad, Sivananda Ashram, Paradise Island, Bahamas Student Comments and Testimonials
    FIU Study Abroad, Sivananda Ashram, Paradise Island, Bahamas Student Comments and Testimonials The week I spent studying abroad at the Ashram was one of the most beautiful and unique experiences of my life. I was fully immersed into a setting where everyone there was relatively on the same page. For once, I could comfortably smile to a stranger and expect a smile in return. The experience gave me much insight on how to live my life with less judgments and more acceptance. I felt much more confident in pursuing my personal goals after meeting the many people from around the world staying there. The Ashram attracted interesting and amazing people who were well aware of the global climate and offered superb perspective when trying to understand the world and how to live in it. Dr. Seidel is a very loving and compassionate woman who cares deeply about the conscious development of her students. Her teachings come with open arms, yet with firmness and stability. During her workshops over at the Ashram, we were guided through a series of movements and visualizations that allowed the people partaking in the class to revert their mindsets back to when they were children. Starting slow at first, the class ended up feeling very connected with one another and shared many moments of communal bliss. Several students had tears in their eyes due to Dr. Seidel’s workshop instructions. Dr. Seidel does a wonderful job as a teacher in filling her student’s hearts with emotion, clarity, and love. Philip Bourgi, FIU In a world where we are constantly interacting with people but barely get to have heart to heart connections, where we constantly have the same routine and actions become automatic, we look at the mirror and identify with only our physical being.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis is an anthropological exploration of the connections between witchcraft, religious transformation, and Hindu nationalism in a village in an Adivasi (or ‘tribal’) area of eastern Maharashtra, India. It argues that the appeal of Hindu nationalism in India today cannot be understood without reference to processes of religious and social transformation that are also taking place at the local level. The thesis demonstrates how changing village composition in terms of caste, together with an increased State presence and particular view of modernity, have led to difficulties in satisfactorily curing attacks of witchcraft and magic. Consequently, many people in the village and wider area have begun to look for lasting solutions to these problems in new ways.

Through these books, it is intended to impart systematic, sustained and pure knowledge in simple language on a scholastic basis to children and youth of the Swaminarayan Sampraday. It is hoped that this Sanstha, established by Brahmaswarup Shastriji Maharaj for implementing and propagating the Vedic ideals propounded by Bhagwan Swaminarayan, will, through this activity, spread the ideals and noble traditions of the Sampraday and through it, the culture and heritage of the Hindu religion.
