  • Fostering Meaning, Social Connection, and Well-Being Through Hindu Beliefs and Practices
    Chapter 5 Fostering Meaning, Social Connection, and Well-Being Through Hindu Beliefs and Practices Maia J Young and Rakesh Sarin सर ्वेपि सुखिनः सन्तु, सर्वे सन्तु निरामयः सर ्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु, मा कस्चीद दुखं आप्नुयात ! (Let all beings be happy; let all be healthy (without diseases); Let all see good; Let nobody be unhappy.) In a vast world that surpasses comprehension, individuals seek to know the meaning of life ( Frankl, 1946 ). Religion provides a sense of order and a lens by which to interpret the world (Geertz, 1979 ). Religion is powerful in alleviating uncertainty and creating connections to others, nature, and the spiritual realm. In this chapter, we will focus on the Hindu religion and examine how Hinduism fosters positive emotions and well-being by helping practitioners make sense of the world and gain a sense of interconnectedness. Our assertions center on the positive effects that Hinduism has on practitioners’ well-being, without an assumption that people might choose Hinduism to gain these benefi ts. That is, we focus on the effects of practic- ing Hinduism rather than on driving factors that affect someone’s choice to practice Hinduism in particular among all religious practices. 5.1 A Brief Overview of Hindu Beliefs The Hindu civilization is old and diverse. Hinduism is not just one set of beliefs or philosophy; it is a collection of traditions that all ascribe to the Vedas, the most ancient of Sanskrit texts and which are thought to date to 3500 B.C.E. (Klostermaier, 2006 ). Men and women who call themselves Hindus worship dif- ferent gods and practice different rites.

  • Mystical Interpretation of the Hanuman Chalisa
    1 a mystical interpretation of the By#Swami#Jyo+rmayananda# Hanuman Chal!a 2 A Mystical Interpretation of the Hanuman Chalisa By Swami Jyotirmayananda Introduction by Ram-Giri The Ramayana is one of the greatest stories ever told. In this fantastic tale of the adventures of Gods and demons, humans, monkeys and bears, the fertile mind of India takes us into a journey to our own liberation. The tale engrosses the heart and mind because it is infinitely deeper than its surface narrative. It is a story told by the enlightened mind to enlighten us. It gives us a master key, a highly sophisticated psychology of the Higher Self, which transforms the reader on levels much deeper than the thinking mind. Here is a simplified summary of the mystical significance of the major elements of the Ramayana, following Swami Jyotirmayananda’s fascinating interpretation. The whole story is told with fascinating detail in Swamiji’s “Mysticism of the Ramayana,” available at yrf.org. Rama symbolizes the Supreme Self, the Ultimate Reality, the Brahman of the Upanishads. His brothers stand for sat-chit-ananda, the divine attributes—existence, consciousness, and bliss. Sita is the Divine Mother, who, through the Cosmic Mind, is the cause of the multiplicity of life. She is inseparable from Brahman. On the level of our relative existence the protagonists represent the aspects of our lives: Rama stands for the soul in the process of awakening. Lakshmana is the power of will in us. Shatrughna represents reason, and Bharata is the emotional aspect of the personality, which is channeled into devotion.

  • A Synchronization of Measurement and Instrumentation Between Vedic and Modern Period
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 7, (2020), pp. 9960-9972 A Synchronization of Measurement and Instrumentation between Vedic and Modern Period 1 2 3 Prakash Chandra Mishra , Shakti Prasad Senapati , Dr. Shrish Kumar Tiwari 1 Assistant in Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, MJP, Rohilkhand University, Bareilly, U.P-243006, INDIA, Email:[email protected] 2Assistant Professor in Department of EEE, Darbhanga College of Engineering, Darbhanga, Bihar-846005, INDIA 3Lecture in Department of Commerce Allahabad Degree College, Allahabad, U.P-211005, INDIA Abstract: In this paper, an intense and precise approach has been adopted by the authors to enlighten ancient measurement systems of weight, time, distance, spectrum of light, colour, speed of light, and some other parameters that have an important and valuable role in our day to day behaviour. Further a small effort has been made to link the current measurement systems with the primitive (of Vedic era) Indian measurement systems. This paper explains the concept of Vedic period measurement technology, and it's simple and suitable measuring instruments which was very adorable in India and as well as globally. These measurement systems were delightfully appreciated due to its simplicity, accuracy, and universality in nature. Along with this, some discussions in the modern CGS and MKS systems have also been sprinkled out for better understanding in both of the Vedic and modern measurement techniques. The authors also want to state the technologies in the Vedic period which was so advanced in the field of measurements such as the speed of sunlight was calculated, sunlight is the combination of seven colours was mentioned, number of planets which represent a day already told and many more.

  • Leadership Lessons for CEO's from Hanuman
    Vol.XII, No. 2; September, 2019 - February, 2020 Leadership Lessons for CEO's from Hanuman Dinesh Kumar Asst. General Manager (HRM) & Zonal HR Head, Bank of Baroda, New Delhi, India Email: [email protected] Amit Kishore Sinha Associate Professor, School of Management Sciences, Varanasi, India Divyanshu Singh Student, Lucknow University, Lucknow Abstract With the entry of LPG in India, the business environment has brought cut-throat competition in the 21st century prompting the organization to look for a CEO and other management professionals who are not only able to execute the direction of Chairman/Board of Directors and manage the organization but also can project their organization different from others. The entry of several CEOs and top management people who graduated from modern B schools learnt the western principle of management and focused their attention towards the western philosophy of survival of the fittest and promoted the short term strategy of dog eat dog in the organization to prove their worth. Blind persuasion of the modern management principles borrowed from the western philosophy that measures success in terms of the materialistic accomplishment and not on spiritual values promoted the culture of rat race among employees who focused their working for getting increments and salary hike without realizing the fact that even if one wins the rat race, one remains the rat. As a short term strategy, such CEOs and top management professionals might get success in the ballooning of the bottom line of the balance sheet and managing a few awards too but soon the brand starts losing its credibility.

  • Divine Intersections: Hindu Ritual and the Incorporation of Religious Others
    Divine Intersections: Hindu Ritual and the Incorporation of Religious Others Kathinka Frøystad1 Department of Social Anthropology, University of Bergen Abstract This article throws the study of multi-religious sociality in Western contexts into relief by examining examples from India. Much of the current scholarship of cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism tends to assume that religious beliefs, practices and spaces make the respective religious communities close in entirely upon themselves. While this assumption may hold true for most of the Western settings we study, it does not necessarily give an accurate description of the conditions for multi-religious sociality in other parts of the world. In India, for instance, religious boundaries still display signs of malleability despite the religious politicization and occasional interreligious violence of the past decades. Drawing on recent anthropological research, this article shows that people of different religious denominations still visit Sufi shrines, that Hindus still incorporate ritual elements and divine beings from the religious traditions of their Others and that they exercise a wide personal choice in terms of spiritual activities, thus enabling spiritual paths that cross in and out of Hinduism. In a Hindu context rituals do not necessarily have an insulating effect; they may also provide points of intersection that open up toward the Other, thus fostering familiarity and recognition. Similar arguments have been made for Buddhist settings. The question is thus whether the current
