We have ended the year 2018 in a blaze loaded with well-scheduled calendar events, special events, lectures and discourses by several invited eminent scholarly personalities, cultural activities and Vidya Vikas school events, all precisely catered for the Hindu community of D/FW area and beyond, promoting Hindu tradition, culture and history. Maintenance of Temple facility became major priority with twenty five plus years of serving to the community, accommodating to the sigmoidal growth and demand of the Hindu communities around the metropolis. The DFW Hindu temple has remained as the mother temple, visited boundlessly not only by Hindu devotees but also by all area schools & campuses as a resource for learning Hindu religion & traditions. Regular Temple tours have served to these needs, facilitating the inter-faith education, gained increased focus of local area TV channels as the “the epicenter” of Hindu religion, culture and traditions. Together, these services have amplified the demand for persistent maintenance, upgrading and improvisation on both structural and infrastructural front, implementing for a model Hindu religious organization in the USA. I stay privileged, honored and blessed interacting and looking over such opportunities serving as the first volunteer under the banner of the President for DFW Hindu Temple for 2018. We have celebrated all events specific to our Deities in the unique way with you devotees representing from different communities. Beside the calendar events, some of the special events that highlighted the year were ‘Shree Jagannatha Kathamrita’ signifying ‘Mahaprabhu Jagannatha Pancharatra Mahatmya’’ puja presided by, none other than, His Excellency, the King, Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deb of Puri, the sole primary hereditary Sevaka of Prabhu Jagannatha along with other eminent dignitary speakers, Pujya Paramahamsa Prajnanananda Maharaj of Kriya Yoga International and Pujya Swami Sarveshananda Saraswati Maharaj of Chinmaya Mission, Dallas. Then “Shree Bhagwat Katha” by Sri Mridul Krishna Goswami Ji including the release of 12th century saint poet, Sri Jayadeva’s ‘Shri Gita Govindam’ bhajan CD first time ever for Prabhu jagannatha Sangeeta Seva during Katha. The visit of ‘Brahmrishi Sri Gurudev’ twice during the year from Sri Brahmrishi Ashram, Tirupati has blessed the life of several devotees including mine in most spiritual way. Then the ‘Anammacharya keerthans’ by SVASA group complementing the Srinivas Kalyanam celebration was one of the most well- crafted collaboration producing high quality event while enriching temple devotee community.

  • Women and Nature in the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha of Bengal
    11 Separated by the text: Women and Nature in the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha of Bengal Namrata Rathore Mahanta* Abstract: Ashoka Shasthi Vrata is a popular vrata practiced by women in West Bengal for the long life and well-being of children. Celebrated in the month of Chaitra, the vrata is dedicated to the Puranic goddess Shashthi. The vrata rites involve the ritual narration of a story (katha) associated with the vrata. The narrative moves around the life of an abandoned female infant named Ashoka, found under an Ashoka tree in a hermitage and her subsequent encounter with the benevolent and malevolent aspects of the goddess Shashthi. The present paper focusses on the relationship between Ashoka and the flora and fauna in the hermitage in an attempt to read the Ashoka Shasthi Vrata Katha as a narrative of empowerment achieved through bonding between women and nature. Keywords: Women, Nature, Mother Goddesses, Puranas, Vratas, Motherhood omen‟s vratas are simple rituals performed for wish fulfillment and W are distinct from the other kinds of scriptural vratas. The present day women‟s vratas are remnants of primordial rites variously transformed through the puranic tradition. In Bengal, women‟s vratas are termed „ashastriya‟ or „meyeli vratas. Ashoka Shashthi is a popular vrata practiced by women of Bengal for the long life and well-being of their children. Celebrated in the month of Chaitra, the vrata is dedicated to the Puranic goddess Shashthi. The vrata rites involve the ritual narration of a story (katha) associated with the vrata. The narrative of the Ashoka Shashthi Vrata Katha moves around Ashoka, an infant found lying under an Ashoka tree near a hermitage.

  • Ceremony Is a Traditional Indian Samskara (Ceremony) Which Leads the Vatu (Child) to the Teacher
    Om Sri Sairam Samoohika Upanayana Mahotsavam or Mass Thread Ceremony is a traditional Indian Samskara (ceremony) which leads the Vatu (child) to the teacher. The Upanayanam ceremony initiates the recital of the Gayatri Mantra which prays for clear intelligence, and thus starts the journey of the vatu taking his first steps to the ultimate realisation of the Reality. This along with investiture of the sacred thread or the “Yagnopavit” which is made up of three strands of thread, which signifies the three responsibilities that the child takes up upon himself: responsibility towards parents, responsibility towards Knowledge or the Master and responsibility towards society. The Gayatri mantra has the subtle power of removing evil tendencies and implanting virtuous habits, so the Upanayanam is a unique Samskara. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba says that the Upanayanam is not only beneficial to the boys initiated but also to everyone who witnesses it and draws inspiration from it. Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba had performed many Upanayanams for individual families and for groups of children in Prasanthi Nilayam and at Brindavan Ashram. In recent memory Bhagawan had performed one such Samoohika Upanayanam at Prasanthi Nilayam on February 10th 2000 for 700 boys from the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning, 2005 in Brindavan Ashram and a Upanayanam ceremony was also conducted in 2012. On Feb 10th 2019, exactly 19 years later on the same day of the Year 2000 Samoohika Upanayanam, the Sri Sathya Sai Seva Organisations India is proposing to conduct a Samoohika Upanayanam at Prasanthi Nilayam. Important Dates & Location Date of the Upanayanam – 10th February 2019 Registration closes – 15th December 2018 or if the number of Vatus registration is full, whichever is first.
