After returning from Badrinath, Adiyen also visited Tirumala-Tirupati and participated in Vimsathi darshanam a scheme which allows a family of 6 members to have Suprabatham, Nijapada and SahasraDeepalankara seva for any 2 consecutive days in a year . It was only due to the abundant grace of Thiruvengadamudaiyan adiyen was able to vist all the Divya desams without any difficulty. Before proceeding further, Adiyen would like to thank all the internet bhagavathas especially Sri Rangasri group members and M.S.Ramesh for providing abundant information about these divya desams. I have uploaded a Map of the hills again downloaded from UP Tourism site for ready reference . As Adiyen had not planned the trip in advance, it was not possible to join “package tour” organised by number of travel agencies and could not do as it was Off season. Adiyen wishes to share my experience with all of you and request the bhagavathas to correct the shortcomings. Adiyen was blessed to take my father aged about 70 years a heart patient , to this divya desam and it would not be an exaggeration to say that only because of my acharyar’s and elders’ blessings , the trip was very comfortable.

    Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley PJAEE, 17 (9) (2020) Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley 1 Gowhar Ahmad Wani 1 Ph.D. Research Scholar, School of Economics, Department of Economics Central University of Kerala Gowhar Ahmad Wani: Sustainability Issues at Tourism Destinations in Kashmir Valley-- Palarch’s Journal Of Archaeology Of Egypt/Egyptology 17(9). ISSN 1567-214x Keywords: Behavior, Social Society, Surfing Sports ABSTRACT This paper examined sustainability isssues happening at tourism destinations in Kashmir Valley. Conclusions are drawn and remedies provided on the basis of concerned issues. Practices, models and strategies adopted by Himalayan and Non- Himalayan states are presented and explained their relevance for the rectification and endorsement of sustainable tourism at destinations. In Kashmir Valley most of the products are gifted by nature and demands vital care and supervision. Due to poor management, deficient facilities and services problems like contamination (water and air), solid waste, open dumping of garbage, emissions, chlorofluorocarbons and green house gases, illegal constructions and degradation of forests highly noticeable at renowned places like Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg. In this context, strong policies, strategic framework, sustainable tourism practices and adequate facilities and services are treated as imperative. 1. Introduction Over the period, progress of tourism industry offered numerous benefits to people living at tourism potential destinations. High tourist influx brought dollars to their accounts and boosted their economies. Nevertheless, lack of consideration and overcrowding negatively exaggerated the tourism resources like water bodies, aquatic resources and critical environment (Neto, 2003). Longstanding existence of destinations need proper supervision and at the same time control of emissions, disposal of wastes, and maintenance of hygiene treated as vital.

These Sivalingas are formed out of one single Sivalinga. As per the legend, this five Sivalingas were one which was owned by the Rakshasa King Tarakasura. None could win over him due to the power of this Sivalinga. In a war between deities and Tarakasura, Kumara Swamy and Tarakasura were face to face. Kumara Swamy used his Sakthi aayudha to kíll Taraka. By the power of Sakti aayudha the body of Taraka was torn into pieces. But to the astonishment of Lord Kumara Swamy all the pieces reunited to give rise to Taraka. Kumara Swamy repeatedly broke the body into pieces and it was re-unified again and again. This confused Lord Kumara Swamy and was in an embarrassed state then Lord Sriman-Narayana appeared before him and said “Kumara! Don’t get depressed, without breaking the Shiva lingham worn by the asura you can’t kíll him” you should first break the Shiva lingam into pieces, then only you can kíll Taraka Lord Vishnu also said that after breaking, the shiva lingha it will try to unite. To prevent the Linga from uniting, all the pieces should be fixed in the place where they are fallen by worshiping them and erecting temples on them. By taking the word of Lord Vishnu, Lord Kumara Swamy used his Aagneasthra (weapon of fire) to break the Shiva lingha worn by Taraka, Once the Shiva lingha broke into five pieces and was trying to unite by making Omkara nada (Chanting Om).

  • Lord Shiva in Varanasi Visual Processes and the Representation
    OWE WIKSTRÖM Darsan (to See) Lord Shiva in Varanasi Visual Processes and the Representation of God by Seven Ricksha-Drivers Introduction In spite of its effort to be transculturally relevant, the psychology of relig- ion is quite ethno- or rather Western-centric. This becomes very clear when one tries to "translate" Indian folk religiosity into concepts taken from mainline theories; i.e. social, cognitive or psychoanalytical psychology of religion. Not only do the norms and values differ, but the very ontological assumptions underlying the categories in which the researcher understand differs fundamentally from the internal Hindu anthropological and epis- temiological apriori. For example, their words of the psyche include contex- tuality, from time to space, to ethics to groups. The subtle interrelatedness of the divine, spiritual and the mundane is obvious (Geertz 1973). It in- cludes the flows and exchanges of substances within and between persons with minimal outer bondaries. The psychological makeup of persons in societies so civilizationally dif- ferent as India is embedded in fundamentally distinct principles of these cultures and the social patterns and child rearing that these principles shape (Marsella et al 1985). Therefore it is clear that a western scholar and an Indian devotee are quite different, not only simply that they see things differently, coming from varied cultures, but that the very inner emotional- cognitive makeup is culturally constructed in different ways (Roland 1989). Of course this will "disturb" the interaction between interviewer and in- terviewee, the scholar and the pious man. In order to understand the psy- chological dynamics in folk religiosity, I think that the researcher has to re- examine and be aware of the way he uses the theoretical models in cross- cultural psychological hermeneutics.

  • Shiva Guide 7.27.16 1
    A GUIDE FOR SHIVA INTRODUCTION This guide is intended to help congregants better understand the religious, psychological, and practical aspects of Jewish customs surrounding mourning. This guide focuses on shiva because it is a time when the community can join together to support the mourners. For more information about Jewish death and burial rituals, a list of recommended resources for further reading is included. SHIVA Shiva is the first part of the mourning period; it begins immediately following the burial. The word shiva means seven, and traditionally a mourner “sits shiva” for seven days. Although seven days is traditional, many Reform Jews sit shiva for three days, and some just one day. There is no typical length that Micah members observe shiva; members have observed anywhere from one to seven days. It is a time when the mourners remain at home; during this time, friends, community members, and family visit to offer condolences or join for a prayer service. Mark Washovsky writes: “Mourning...is a prime example of the power of 'creative ritual' in Judaism, the process by which the Sages and the people develop elaborate structures of religious behavior out of relatively scant raw materials provided by the sacred texts.” In the case of shiva practices, the sacred texts include such references as a seven day mourning period for Methuselah, the oldest man who ever lived, and Genesis 50:10, where the text states: “And he (Joseph) mourned for his father (Jacob) for seven days.” Shiva has been called psychologically important. Shiva can be exhausting, but also restorative. Observing shiva links us to the generations of Jews who came before us.
