  • Mythological Characters in Amish Tripathi's Ram Chandra Series
    © 2018 IJSRST | Volume 5 | Issue 3 | Print ISSN: 2395-6011 | Online ISSN: 2395-602X Themed Section : Education Mythological Characters in Amish Tripathi’s Ram Chandra Series Hardas Galchar1*, Dr. Ankit Gandhi2* 1Research Scholar, Madhav University, Rajasthan, India 2Professor, Madhav University, Rajasthan, India ABSTRACT Every great civilization has its own treasure of mythology. Egypt, Rome, Greece, India, China and other cultures are the classic examples. Each of them, during the course of history, created folklore, community rituals and social beliefs which led to the creation of vast bodies of mythology. India has probably the richest store house of mythology and legends in the world. It is fed from countless sources and preserved in the four Vedas, the Upanishads, the two epics, the eighteen main Purans and many chants, plays, poetry, sculptures, dance, music and folklore. The roots of India’s legendary past go before the Aryans to the Dravidians and even the Pre-Dravidian tribals. Therefore its values, its social and legal systems and its aesthetic awareness, have survived intact and remained relevant to all Indians. Human actions to became the subjects of myths, which to some extent, related to historical events, the best examples are the Ramayana and Mahabharta. These sagas beautifully describe the interactions of human characters and personalities. In thislineage, the new Indian writers, like Amish Tripathi, Ashok Banker and Ashwin Sanghi have started a new tradition by blending the mythology of the past with present reality. By doing so these writers are modernizing the Indian myth. Amish Tripathi relied on the stories and fables that he heard from his family.

  • 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.

The word Aryan was therefore adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian Aryans, Radix, peoples, but also to native Indo-European speakers as a whole, including the Romans, Greeks, and the Lord Ram, Germans. It was soon recognised that Balts, Celts, and Slavs also belonged to the same group.

  • A Tribute to Hinduism
    Quotes Basics Science History Social Other Search h o m e n a t u r e w o r s h i p c o n t e n t s Hinduism has always been an environmentally sensitive philosophy. No religion, perhaps, lays as much emphasis on environmental ethics as Hinduism. The Mahabharata, Ramayana, Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Puranas and Smriti contain the earliest messages for preservation of environment and ecological balance. Nature, or Earth, has never been considered a hostile element to be conquered or dominated. In fact, man is forbidden from exploiting nature. He is taught to live in harmony with nature and recognize that divinity prevails in all elements, including plants and animals. The rishis of the past have always had a great respect for nature. Theirs was not a superstitious primitive theology. They perceived that all material manifestations are a shadow of the spiritual. The Bhagavad Gita advises us not to try to change the environment, improve it, or wrestle with it. If it seems hostile at times tolerate it. Ecology is an inherent part of a spiritual world view in Hinduism. According to Swami B. V. Tripurari, in his book, Ancient Wisdom for Modern Ignorance, " Our present environmental crisis is in essence a spiritual crisis. We need only to look back to medieval Europe and the psychic revolution that vaulted Christianity to victory over paganism to find the spirit of the environmental crisis. Inhibitions to the exploitation of nature vanished as the Church took the "spirits" out of the trees, mountains, and seas. Christianity's ghost-busting theology made it possible for man to exploit nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of natural objects.

  • Jan-Feb 2014 President’S Note
    Hindu Samaj Temple of Minnesota Jan-Feb 2014 President’s Note Dear Community Members, As we begin another new year, I look back on my first year as President of the Hindu Samaj Temple. We have had some exciting times and have come a long way. Buying the land for the New Temple was a major accomplishment and the Bhoomi (Land) Pooja was a major success in introduc- ing it to the community. I would like to thank the overwhelming support we have had in raising funds towards building the New Temple. We are nearing the goal of $250,000 for this year and I continue to welcome any support both in time and kind towards achieving our goal of a New Tem- ple. Along with Rochester Vidhalaya, we participated in Rochesterfest for the first time and this was a fun and rewarding experience. Sumathi Jaya- kumar, who leads the Religious committee, did a phenomenal job of organizing the two-day Bhoomi Pooja. Asha Jeevan, as Cultural Program Coordinator, and Prasaad Ayyanar, as the Food Committee Coordinator, have had some new and exciting learning experiences. Ajay Singh, Senthil Palaniappan and Somashekar Govindaraj lead the IT team and are in the process of revamping the website to add additional content and make it more informational. We are also trying to update the present Temple building with help of the community with Sridhar taking the lead on this initi- ative. We have formed a finance team with Diganta Borgohain, Sasi Venkat, and Mukesh Bhatia as members in preparation for the major work we anticipate with the New Temple.
