  • Bhai Dooj: Praying for Brothers
    Bhai Dhooj 1003 281016 Bhai Dooj: Praying for Brothers Jawhar Sircar Ananda Bazar Patrika, 13th November 2015 (English Version) It is amazing that India is the only country in the world that has special celebrations like Bhratri Dwitiya and Raksha Bandhan for siblings to shower their affections on each other. Popularly known as Bhaiya Dhuj in north India, it is Bhai Phota in Bengal and in Maharashtra, Gujarat and the Konkan, it is celebrated as Bhai Beej or Bhau Beej. In Nepal, this Bhai Tika is almost as important as Dussehra or Dashami and it is also called Yama Dwitiya in the South. While Kali Puja and Bhai Phota are two distinct religious events in Bengal separated by just two days, in most parts of India this festival is part of the five-day long Deepawali festival. For centuries, sisters have prayed for the safety of their brothers by performing a small aarti ceremony and applying a prominent phota or tika on the forehead of their brothers, as a talisman against any misfortune. We are told that Krishna's sister Subhadra was so delighted to see him unharmed after his battle with the evil demon Narakasur that she applied a sacred tilak on his forehead. This is supposed to have inspired Bhai Phota but frankly, this tilak would have been more useful before Krishna's fight. Let us admit that there are not many references to Bhai Phota in sacred literature, while Rakhi Bandhan is mentioned profusely in Bhavishya Purana, Bhagawat Purana and Vishnu Purana. It is clear that Bhai Phota has been essentially a folk ritual that has been upheld by the people themselves.

  • The History of May Day and Workers' Rights
    1 THE HISTORY OF MAY DAY AND WORKERS’ RIGHTS Around the world the 1st May is celebrated as an annual festival of workers’ rights and solidarity. Originally the day was a pagan celebration of the return of summer. Persecution of May Day began in the 17th century when European rulers backed by the churches attempted to ban the celebrations as being immoral. However many of the traditions continued as the European peasantry had stronger ties to each other and to nature than they had to their rulers and the churches. In the nineteenth century as the industrial revolution spread around the world, men, women and children endured very long working days, often twelve hours or more. The idea of having a workers’ holiday celebration was born in Australia. In 1856 Australian workers organised a day of complete stoppage of work together with speeches and entertainment as a demonstration in favour of an eight hour working day. Thirty years on in the United States on 3rd May 1886, Chicago police opened fire on unarmed strikers, killing 6 and wounding many more. The following day Chicago workers gathered in Haymarket Square to demonstrate against continuing police brutality. As the police attempted to clear the square, a bomb exploded, killing 7 policemen. In a show trial 8 anarchist leaders were convicted of murder even although only one of them was present at the time of the blast and he was addressing the crowd. Four of the leaders were executed, one took his own life in prison; 3 others were later pardoned. The executed Chicago trade unionists became known as the Haymarket Martyrs.

  • Compas: Supporting Endogenous Development
    COMPAS: SUPPORTING ENDOGENOUS DEVELOPMENT Mr. Don Philoris Wijenayaka in his ceremonial dress carries out a ritual in a rice field. With mantras and sounds the water is chanted. The spirits of rats, mice, elephants and wild boars are asked to take no more than their fair share of the crop. Mr. Wijenayaka is the shaman, or the Kapu Mahattaya as he is called in Sri Lanka. In Sinhalese this means : the link between the spirits and human beings. Mr. Rukman Wagachchi of the Sri Lankan Network of Agri-Cultural Revival is taking part in this kem ritual. According to the owner of this field, there was less pest damage, lower costs and higher yields after the kem has been performed last season. This season, the farmer wants to observe more carefully and collect more accurate data. The tindana is the earthpriest among the Tallensi in northern Ghana. He exercises spiritual power, especially over land and sacred groves. Tribal people in India use gonads (chalk marks) to communicate with the spiritual world. As part of its traditional organisation, the community has special people, jilakatas, to protect the cultivated fields. They also have to protect the plots against negative influences which are perceived as the result of bad human behaviour (Bolivia). The spirit mediums are the educators on how to live with nature. Nature as the habitat of both the spiritual world and the animal kingdom reaffirm the tripartite relationship between the people, ancestral spirits and the material world (Zimbabwe). With the help of self-made posters, a farmer and spiritual leader explains traditional rituals to other farmers and encourages them to experiment (Sri Lanka).
