  • The Secrets of Shiva
    Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati The Secrets of Shiva ASSA Editions Editor’s Notes The Secrets of Shiva A gorgeous presentation written by Shud - dhananda Bharati on Shiva, unquestioned deity of human knowledge. Lord Shiva has the gift and power to unite us to his spiritual strength, cleanse our past, to teach us and guide us in our evolu - tion and personal development. His creative and destructive energy of the ego leads us into the light. As the alchemist according to our progress, He heals our wounds, removes our worries and sows in us the joy and happiness of being, while leading us in our inner quest for the divine in us. He offers us the chance to find out. In this book, I would also like to introduce you to two great personalities of ancient India. Firstly, it is Muthuswamy Dikshitar, blessed by Lord Muruga, he was an ocean of music – a rare musician. He was the - 7- Natha Jyothi who got grace of Goddess Shakti and gave birth to innumerable godly songs. It is 178 years since Dikshitar breathed his last on a Diwali Day and mingled in Natha Jyothi. All Sangeetha Vidvans (musicians) must celebrate the Diwali fes - tival, especially Dikshitar Day; his keerthanas must be sung in every house - hold. I express our thanks to Yogi Shud - dhananda Bharati who wrote this small work on the history of Dikshitar. Secondly, it is Dayananda. In his small work titled Rishi Dayananda, the author speaks about the history of the Father of Navbarath Dayananda and the principles of Arya Samaj in brief.

    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.

    1 The Alphabet Board A Collection of Sayings of AVATAR MEHER BABA Compiled by Chris Maier This collection © 2014 by Chris Maier. See pp. 2-4 for further copyright information. 2 Preface Words can clarify or confuse; they’ve always had this dual identity, but in this “Information Age” words have proliferated to such an extent that mankind seems in danger of drowning in a sea of verbiage. Inasmuch as we depend on words, we need those which give meaning to our lives; we need, ideally, words defined by God! And—thank God!—we have them. For although He kept silent for forty-four years, Avatar Meher Baba spoke to us through His alphabet Board, His flying fingers giving the true meaning of everything from Art to Zero—all the while pointing us away from words, towards His silence and the unnamable mystery of His Love. Note: When “you” is referred to in a quote from Meher Baba, it is sometimes a general and at other times a specific “you,” but if the gist of the message seemed generally applicable, it is quoted without indicating who was being addressed. Omissions are noted by ellipsis points (…), paragraph breaks are omitted, editor’s interpolations are enclosed in brackets, and spellings and capitalization are rendered as in the source text: thus, for instance, Baba is sometimes “me” and sometimes “Me,” God is “he” or “He,” and so on. SOURCES The words of Meher Baba are copyright by the Avatar Meher Baba Perpetual Public Charitable Trust (AMBPPCT), Kings Road, Ahmednagar, M.S. 414001, India.

  • 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.
