February 2016 Dear Hudson Montessori School Supporters, In February 2016 Dear Hudson Montessori School supporters, In the 2015-2016 school year, Hudson Montessori School continued its 53 year tradition of providing an enriching and supporting learning environment for 212 students. The Montessori philosophy allowed our children to explore their passions and ensured that each child was academically furthered and prepared. Our learning environment stoked the boundless inquisitiveness and creativity that our students brought to school each day. Our expert teachers thoughtfully guided each child through appropriate learning opportunities that built persistence, responsibility and independence. And all our children benefitted from the rich community that exists at HMS between teachers, parents and children. In 2015-2016, the Board of Trustees focused on identifying strong leadership for our school. In his role as interim head of school, Ed Hollinger created stability within our community. Guided by objectives mutually defined by Ed and the Board of Trustees, he worked to move Hudson Montessori School forward and laid a strong foundation for our future. Concurrently, we hired Matt Virgil as the school's long-term Head of School and began the process of transitioning him into the role. Throughout the year, Matt participated in Board of Trustee and committee meetings to understand the work of the Board and the state of the school. Together, we established the objectives for the 2016-17 school year and focused on continued investments for professional development in support of our wonderful faculty and administration. We created the Director of Teaching and Learning role, and developed a marketing and communications strategy to ensure more people learn about the wonderful things happening within the walls of Hudson Montessori School. Hudson Montessori School is a unique and powerful learning community and we thank you for being a part of it.

  • Folk Hinduism in West Bengal
    1 Folk Hinduism in West Bengal In the rural areas of India, we see a variety of notions about the nature of gods and goddesses. They are not “high gods,” as we see in the pan-Indian brahmanical forms of Hinduism, but rather regional deities, intimately associated with villages and towns. Indeed, some would not be characterized as gods and goddesses by most people, for those supernatural entities given offerings and worship include ghosts, ancestors, water and plant essences, guardian spirits, and disease con- trollers. We see some overlap of tribal deities, the deities of non-Hindu or semi- Hindu villagers, with the village gods or gramadevatas of village Hinduism. These may be µeld or mountain spirits, or angry ghosts of women who died violent deaths. All of these may be seen in the large area of folk Hinduism. There is no sharp differentiation between the tribal deities, village deities, and gods and god- desses of brahmanical Hinduism. Rather than a polarity, we see a continuum, for these traditions worship many deities in common. Some themes that may be noted in the worship of folk gods and goddesses: Regionalism: These deities are associated with speciµc places, temples, µelds, and streams. The Kali of one village is not the same as the next village’s Kali. One Chandi gives good hunting, another Chandi cures disease. Goddesses are not pan-Indian; they are speciµc to a person’s tribal or caste group, ex- tended family, neighborhood, or village. Pragmatism: These deities are rarely worshiped in a spirit of pure and ab- stract devotion.

  • Mars) and in Navamsha Though It Is Occupying Another Kendra in Rāshi of His Friend Shukra (Venus), He Is Afflicted by Rahu Conjunct There
    Budha (Mercury) Budha means the intelligent, clever or a wise man in Sanskrit. It is also the name of one of the nine grahas whose movement affects human beings as well as nations and weather conditions that are the subject matter of the divine science known as Vedic Astrology. Hindu mythology (Puranas) tells that Budha (Mercury) is the illegitimate son of Chandra (Moon) out of Tara who was Guru’s (Jupiter) wife. The Puranas tell us that Chandra was enamored of Tara the wife of Guru and seduced her when she was taking a walk in a garden. Tara is then said to have eloped with Chandra. On being asked by Guru to return his wife, Chandra refused to do so. Thereupon Guru sought help of other Gods who waged war against Chandra but Chandra who was helped by Shukra (Venus) defeated them. Then Guru sought help of Lord Shiva who set out to fight Chandra. Lord Brahma, who treats Chandra as his son, knew that this war would end in annihilation of Chandra and therefore went to Chandra and prevailed upon him to return Tara to Guru, thus avoiding war. Chandra relented and returned Tara who started living with Guru. However Tara was pregnant by that time and gave birth to Budha at Guru’s place. On being confronted, she accepted that Budha was son of Chandra. However Budha was so handsome, sharp, capable of grasping thing fast, and intelligent that Guru decided to accept him as his own son and taught him all the shastras (sciences), which Budha absorbed in a short time.

  • Analysis of Hindu Widowhood in Indian Literature Dipti Mayee Sahoo
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 21, Issue 9, Ver. 7 (Sep. 2016) PP 64-71 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Analysis Of Hindu Widowhood In Indian Literature Dipti Mayee Sahoo Asst. Prof. SociologyTrident Academy of Creative technology,Bhubaneswar Abstract:- In ancient India, women occupied a very important position, in fact a superior position to, men. It is a culture whose only words for strength and power are feminine -"Shakti'' means "power'' and "strength.'' All male power comes from the feminine. Literary evidence suggests that kings and towns were destroyed because a single woman was wronged by the state. For example, Valmiki's Ramayana teaches us that Ravana and his entire clan was wiped out because he abducted Sita. Veda Vyasa'sMahabharatha teaches us that all the Kauravas were killed because they humiliated Draupadi in public. ElangoAdigal'sSillapathigaram teaches us Madurai, the capital of the Pandyas was burnt because PandyanNedunchezhiyan mistakenly killed her husband on theft charges. "In Hinduism, the momentous event of a foundation at one point in time, the initial splash in the water, from which concentric circles expand to cover an ever-wider part of the total surface, is absent. The waves that carried Hinduism to a great many shores are not connected to a central historical fact or to a common historic movement. " Key words:- Feminine, sakti, strength, humiliation, power. I. INTRODUCTION In this age of ascending feminism and focus on equality and human rights, it is difficult to assimilate the Hindu practice of sati, the burning to death of a widow on her husband's funeral pyre, into our modern world.

  • Aspects of Gond Astronomy1
    Aspects of Gond Astronomy1 M N Vahia1 and Ganesh Halkare2 1Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai 400 005 2Indrayani Colony, Amravati, 444 607 Summary: The Gond community is considered to be one of the most ancient tribes of India with a continuing history of several thousand years. They are also known for their largely isolated history which they have retained through the millennia. Several of their intellectual traditions therefore are a record of parallel aspects of human intellectual growth. It still preserves its original flavour and is not homogenised by later traditions of India. In view of this, they provide a separate window to the different currents that constitute contemporary India. In the present study, we summarise their mythology, genetics and script. We then investigate their astronomical traditions and try to understand this community through a survey of about 15 Gond villages spread over Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. We show that they have a distinctly different view of the skies from the conventional astronomical ideas which is both interesting and informative. We briefly comment on other aspects of their life as culled from our encounters with the members of the Gond community Introduction: Gonds are the largest of Indian tribes with a net population between 4 and 5 million spread over north Andhra Pradesh, eastern Maharashtra, eastern Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and western Orissa (Deogaonkar, 2007 p 14-17). While their precise history cannot be dated before 890 AD (Deogaonkar, 2007, p 37), their roots are certainly older. Origin of the Gonds Mehta (1984) has studied the Gonds from different perspectives and also their history and mythology in detail (Mehta, 1984, p 105 – 166).

The Hindu science of study of these planets is called the Vedic Astrology. Classical Vedic astrology uses the seven visible planets Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, along with the two lunar nodes, the north and south nodes, Rahu and Ketu. The Hindu astrology is based on an elaborate calculation of the positions of these planets at the time of one's birth. For example, the zodiac is divided in to twelve zones ('houses' of 30 degrees each). The planet Sun travels in to one of these houses each month. Similarly, the other planets have their times of travel through the zodiac assigned to them. As the planets travel through these zodiac signs, their relative positions with respect to each other changes and is supposed to determine the fate of the human affairs. An astrologer can draw up a horoscope of a person based on his time of birth and calculate the relative positions of the planets relative to this horoscope.

  • Mobility and Identity Construction in Bharati Mukherjee's Desirable
    Mobility and Identity Construction in Bharati Mukherjee’s Desirable Daughters: “The Tree Wife and Her Rootless Namesake” KATHERINE MILLER N THE LAST TWENTY YEARS, feminist critics have developed theore- tical constructions of identity that include a spatial component. I Feminist geographers such as Doreen Massey, Linda Martin Alcoff, Linda McDowell, Alison Blunt, and Gillian Rose acknowledge the im- portance of spatial metaphors in theories that articulate the “social con- struction of gender difference” (Blunt and Rose 3). McDowell and Joanne P. Sharpe, in the introduction to Space, Gender, Knowledge, em- phasize the significance of “gendered identities” and a “spatial imagina- tion” to feminist research. Discussing the “politics of location,” Blunt and Rose state that, for a woman, locating “an author(ity) in terms of her position in a complex and shifting matrix of power relations involves a fluid and fragmented sense of both identity and space” (14). The inter- weaving of feminist and geographical theories about the production of space and subjectivity opens new understandings of identity politics and the way “gendered space” is constructed and deconstructed in literary texts. Bharati Mukherjee, a writer and scholar who has lived in India, Canada, and the United States, is uniquely positioned to examine the fragmentary nature of characters with “multiply constituted identities” (Sritala 302). Identity politics permeate Mukherjee’s texts. Her novels, which include Jasmine, Wife, and The Holder of the World, explore the shifting identities of diasporic women, both in the present-day United States, Canada, and India, and in the past. In her earlier novels, nomad- ism and identity shifting intertwine; Samir Dayal describes the title char- acter of Jasmine as “a perpetual nomad” who “shuttles between differing identities” (77).
