The most sacred of all creations of God in the human life and it has two aspects- one biological and other sociological. If nutrition and reproduction maintain and transmit the biological aspect, the sociological aspect is transmitted by education. Man is primarily distinguishable from the animals because of power of reasoning. Man is endowed with intelligence, remains active, original and energetic. Man lives in accordance with his philosophy of life and his conception of the world. Human life is a priceless gift of God. But we have become sheer materialistic and we live animal life. It is said that man is a rational animal; but our intellect is fully preoccupied in pursuit of materialistic life and worldly pleasures.

  • 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.

  • Storytelling Ramayana Through Philately
    Storytelling Ramayana through Philately Briti Deb India 1947 photogravure print stamp with Jai Hind written in Hindi. Ramayana was written in Sanskrit which influenced many languages like Hindi, and both are written in the same script called Devanagari. Introduction: Ramayana, one of the four largest epics of the world (other three being the Mahabharata, Iliad, and Odyssey), is also arguably the oldest continuous tradition of storytelling in the world. This Hindu epic teaches on the goals of human life. It has a profound impact on the culture, family relations, and moral values in India and many other countries, manifesting itself in literature, art, architecture, painting, dance, drama, and festivals. Ramayana was introduced to the West in 1843 in Italian by Gaspare Gorresio. The term Ramayana literally means the march (ayana) of Rama (an avatar of the Hindu God Vishnu) in search of human values. The epic poem is written in Sanskrit and is composed of rhyming couplets called Slokas, teaching the concept of Dharma (moral). According to Hinduism, Dharma is the law that maintains the regulatory order of the universe, helping to achieve social harmony and human happiness. According to Hindu mythology, the historic period or Yuga in which Rama lived is known a Treta Yuga, when Dharma (moral) of people are believed to be of high order. In subsequent periods, i.e., Dwapar Yuga when the story of Mahabharata took place and the present Kali yuga in which we live now, morality is believed to be declining. In this context, storytelling Ramayana comes as a relief by teaching moral and spiritual values.

  • Mythology of India
    1 Mythology of India The vast repertoire of Hindu mythology literature is found in the genre of Hindu texts comprising: • Vedic Literature • The Great Epics • Puranas Many of these legends evolve across these texts, character names change or the story is embellished with greater detail, yet the central message and moral values remain unaltered. According to famed Indologist Wendy Doniger, Hindu mythology shares the creative principles and human values found in mythology everywhere. However, the particular details vary and its diversity is immense. Hindu legends embed the Indian thought about the nature of existence, the human condition and its aspirations through an interwoven contrast of characters, the proverbial good against evil, the honest against the dishonest, the dharma-bound lover against the anti-dharma bully, the gentle and compassionate against the cruel and greedy. In these myths, everything is impermanent including matter, love and peace. Magic and miracles thrive, gods are defeated and fear for their existence, triggering wars or debates. Death threatens and re-threatens life, while life finds a way to creatively re-emerge thus conquering death. Eros persistently prevails over chaos. Hindu mythologies integrate a wide range of subjects. They include stories about how and why cosmos originated, how and why humans or all life forms originated along with each's strengths and weaknesses, how gods originated along with each's strengths and weaknesses, the battle between good gods and bad demons, human values and how humans can live together, resolve any disagreements, healthy goals in stages of life and the different ways in which each individual can live, the meaning of all existence and means of personal liberation as well as legends about what causes suffering, chaos and the end of time with a restart of a new cycle.
