  • Ascetic Yogas the PATH of SELF-REALIZATION Robert Koch Robert Koch Was Initiated As Sri Patraka Das at the Lotus Feet of H.H
    Sri Jagannath Vedic Center, USA Drig dasa August 23, 2002 Ukiah, USA © Robert Koch, 2002 – Published in Jyotish Digest 1 Ascetic Yogas THE PATH OF SELF-REALIZATION Robert Koch Robert Koch was initiated as Sri Patraka Das at the lotus feet of H.H. Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in March, 1971. He lived in India for 6 years till 1983, studying Jyotish and has received certificate of commendation for spreading Hindu astrology in the USA, from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, in 1999. Web site: http://www.robertkoch.com n the first Canto of the great Vedic Purana Srimad Bhagavatam, there is a very interesting and instructional conversation that took place between a bull personifying I Dharma, or religion, and Bhumi, the mother earth in the form of a cow. The bull was standing on one leg, suggesting that that one out of four pillars of religious principles (represented by each leg of Dharma, the bull) was still existing, and that in itself was faltering with the progress of Kali-yuga. The four legs of the Dharma are truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, and austerity. If most or all of these legs of Dharma are broken, or if 3 out of 4 Dharmic principles exist very rarely, in human society, then we can be confident that Kali-yuga – the age of quarrel and darkness – is well upon us. Given that there are some rare souls existing who speak and live the Supreme Absolute Truth, as is found in various Vedic literatures, the remaining leg of truthfulness still exists. Such persons are characterized by complete self-control, or the ability to detach themselves from the relative world of the senses and the objects of sense pleasure.

    OM NAMO BHAGAVATE PANDURANGAYA BALAJI VANI Volume 6, Issue 4 October 2012 Hari OM Lord Ganesha is worshipped before one begins anything new in life. He is also called Vigneshwara, the word “Vigna” means “obstacles” and he is the lord for removing obstacles. The birth of Lord Ganesha is celebrated as Vinayaka Chavithi. Using turmeric paste, Goddess Parvathi created Lord Ganesha as her loyal son and protector. Lord Shiva, not knowing the truth got furious with Lord Ganesha when he was not let to enter his own house. Furious Lord Shiva lost his patience and severed Lord Ganesha’s head killing him instantly. When Goddess Parvathi heard of this, she threatened to destroy the entire creation. Lord Shiva understood what had happened, ordered Lord Brahma to get the head of first animal he encounters facing north. Lord Brahma returned with the head of a powerful elephant. Lord Shiva placed it on Lord Ganesha, breathed new life into him and announced him as his son as well. He also declared Lord Ganesha to be the foremost of all gods and leader of all ganas (being of life) and hence the name ‘Ganapathi’. This year Diwali Mahalakhsmi Vinayaka Chavithi was observed on 19th of September. Devotees all over the world get Lord Ganesha’s idol made out of clay, perform puja and offer Lord Ganesha’s favorite Blessedness, eternal peace, Arising from perfect modak as prasadam. On the day of Ananta Chaturdasi, they freedom, is the highest conception of religion immerse Lord Ganesha into water. Lord Ganesha’s idol in underlying all the ideas of God in Vedanta absolutely our Balaji Temple arrived and installation was done on this free existence, not bound by anything, no change, no nature, nothing that can produce a change in Him.

  • “Temple of My Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal's
    “Temple of my Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshi Community Aditya N. Bhattacharjee School of Religious Studies McGill University Montréal, Canada A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts August 2017 © 2017 Aditya Bhattacharjee Bhattacharjee 2 Abstract In this thesis, I offer new insight into the Hindu Bangladeshi community of Montreal, Quebec, and its relationship to community religious space. The thesis centers on the role of the Montreal Sanatan Dharma Temple (MSDT), formally inaugurated in 2014, as a community locus for Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshis. I contend that owning temple space is deeply tied to the community’s mission to preserve what its leaders term “cultural authenticity” while at the same time allowing this emerging community to emplace itself in innovative ways in Canada. I document how the acquisition of community space in Montreal has emerged as a central strategy to emplace and renew Hindu Bangladeshi culture in Canada. Paradoxically, the creation of a distinct Hindu Bangladeshi temple and the ‘traditional’ rites enacted there promote the integration and belonging of Bangladeshi Hindus in Canada. The relationship of Hindu- Bangladeshi migrants to community religious space offers useful insight on a contemporary vision of Hindu authenticity in a transnational context. Bhattacharjee 3 Résumé Dans cette thèse, je présente un aperçu de la communauté hindoue bangladaise de Montréal, au Québec, et surtout sa relation avec l'espace religieux communautaire. La thèse s'appuie sur le rôle du temple Sanatan Dharma de Montréal (MSDT), inauguré officiellement en 2014, en tant que point focal communautaire pour les Bangladeshis hindous de Montréal.
