Printed in the USA. 01989 Society for Scientific Exploration A Case of the Possession Type in India With Evidence of Paranormal Knowledge Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, University of Virginia, Charlottesvill~:VA 22908 Department of Clinical Psychology, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India 5epartment of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, Universily of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908 Abstract-A young married woman, Sumitra, in a village of northern India, apparently died and then revived. After a period of confusion she stated that she was one Shiva who had been murdered in another village. She gave enough details to permit verification of her statements, which corresponded to facts in the life of another young married woman called Shiva. Shiva had lived in a place about 100 km away, and she had died violently there-either by suicide or murder-about two months before Sumitra's apparent death and revival. Subsequently, Sumitra recognized 23 persons (in person or in photographs) known to Shiva. She also showed in several respects new behavior that accorded with Shiva's personality and attainments. For example, Shiva's family were Brahmins (high caste), whereas Sumitra's were Thakurs (second caste); after the change in her personality Sumitra showed Brahmin habits that were strange in her fam- ily. Extensive interviews with 53 informants satisfied the investigators that the families concerned had been, as they claimed, completely unknown to each other before the case developed and that Sumitra had had no normal knowledge of the people and events in Shiva's life.

  • Ramakatha Rasavahini I Chapter 3
    Chapter 3. Curse of No Progeny for Dasaratha The envy of Ravana ithin a short time, Dasaratha’s fame illumined all quarters, like the rays of the rising sun. He had the intre- Wpidity and skill of ten charioteers rolled into one, so the name Dasa-ratha (the ten-chariot hero) was found appropriate. No one could stand up against the onrush of his mighty chariot! Every contemporary ruler, mortally afraid of his prowess, paid homage to his throne. The world extolled him as a hero without equal, a paragon of virtue, a statesman of highest stature. Ravana, the demon (rakshasa) King of Lanka, heard of Dasaratha and his fame. He was so envious that he determined on a sure plan to destroy him, by means fair or foul. Ravana sought for an excuse to provoke Dasaratha into a fight; one day, he sent word through a messenger that unless tribute was paid to him, he would have to meet Ravana on the battlefield and demonstrate his superior might in war. This call was against international morality, but what morality did a demon respect? When Dasaratha heard the messenger, he laughed outright, in derision. Even while the messenger was look- ing on, he shot sharp deadly arrows, which reached Lanka itself and fastened the gates of that city! Addressing the envoys, Dasaratha said, “Well, Sirs! I have now made fast the doors of your fortress city. Prema Vahini Your master cannot open them, however hard he may try. That is the ‘tribute’ I pay to your impertinent lord.” When the envoys returned and informed Ravana of this, he was shocked to find all the doors closed fast.

Page 6 Know our Temples – Badrinath Page 8 Healthy Eating An Advice To The Mind ’ ~Poornimaji Our Master s Voice …Contd. All work in the realm of spirituality pertains to subduing this ego! But since its not an easy task, Sri Swamiji says, surrender this ego to Sri Krishna and become a servant of Sri Krishna. Once you submit ‘yourself’ to His will, all that’s ‘yours’ shall be His and thus we become Sri Krishna’s responsibility! The lord takes care of the life of such a devotee in totality! Whatever has to happen to our ego shall also be taken care of by the Lord Himself!” Sadhana interrupted, “Ah! What kind of faith and surrender this claims!” Kirtana continued, “Indeed! Why not? Will not the Lord of this Universe take care of us better than we ourselves can? Sri Swamiji asks why worry? Veenaana visanangalai agatri vidu Kannan vachanangalai patri vidu Let go of all unnecessary worries! Hold on to nectarine words that are of Hari’s! Sadhana! It is ironical that people entrust their lives to pilots, drivers and doctors but hesitate to entrust their lives to Lord Sri Krishna! Sri Swamiji says, stop worrying about yourself and entrust yourself to the Lord Once that’s done stop worrying about ‘how the Lord will take care’ or ‘will he take care’! 2 Has not the Lord himself affirmed? ‘ananyAshchintayanto mAm ye janA: paryupAsate | teshAm nityAbhiyuktAnAm yogakshemam vaHAmyaham ||’ ‘I bear the burden of that devotee of mine who entrusts everything to me and meditates upon me constantly’ Again he says, ‘sarva dharmAn parityajya mAmekam sharaNam vraja’ ‘teshAm aham samuddhartA’ ‘na me bhaktha pranashyati’ Sri Swamiji says, hold on to these wonderful, soothing and encouraging promises of the Lord in the case of His devotees and be free of all kinds of worries.

  • Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others
    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.

  • Iyengar's Sitayana: a Retelling of the Saga of Sita
    International Journal of Education, Modern Management, Applied Science & Social Science (IJEMMASSS) 442 ISSN : 2581-9925, Impact Factor: 5.143, Volume 02, No. 03, July - September, 2020, pp.442-446 IYENGAR’S SITAYANA: A RETELLING OF THE SAGA OF SITA Dr. Charulata Verma ABSTRACT Different versions of Sita’s story exist in myth, literature, folk tales and performing arts, prompting fresh interpretation and retellings of this enigmatic figure of hoary antiquity who has made an indelible imprint on the psyche and mind of the Indian people. Some tellings deify her while others humanize her relating her trials and tribulations to the daily life of Indian womanhood. That a character of remote antiquity could exert such a sterling influence on the lives of the people of the Indian sub- continent after thousands of years, makes people tell her saga again and again with a new and varied interpretation de novo.of silent strength and sufferance sublime. The rendering of Rama-Sita-Ravana saga as Sitayana: Epic of the Earth-born (1987), a new and free re-recital of a familiar old tale, carries a fresh approach and organizing principle in viewing of the saga in a new perspective as essentially the story of Sita: sitayah charitam mahat. The thoughts projected through Sita’s mind, since she is the brooding spirit of the whole saga, ranging from purely personal reminiscence to metaphysical queries, echoing at the same time the doubts and queries of contemporary Indian mind, lie at the heart of the reinterpretation of the epic. Keywords: Retelling, Saga, Epic, Feminine, Rishipatnis. ________________ Introduction Sitayana: Epic of the Earth-born A widely admired literary critic, poet, an erudite scholar and the chief authority of Indian English literature Iyengar recasts the Ramayana as quintessentially Sita’s story Sitayana: Epic of the Earth-born, ‘Sita’s saga sublime’.
