  • Basic Information on Shraddha Rituals
    Basic Information on Shraddha Rituals Shraddha (Sanskrit) is a ceremony in honour and for the welfare of dead relatives, observed with great strictness at various fixed periods and on occasions of rejoicing as well as mourning by the surviving relatives. It is not a funeral ceremony, but an act of reverential homage to a deceased person performed by relatives, and is supposed to supply the dead with strengthening nutriment after the performance of the previous funeral ceremonies has endowed them with ethereal bodies. In Hinduism, the deceased relative is considered a preta (wandering ghost) until the first sraddha ceremony, when he attains a position among the spiritual pitris in their blissful abode. Shraddha Activities Shraddha rituals consist of following main activities – Vishwadeva Sthapana (ववेदेव थापना ) Pindadan ( प डदान ) Tarpan ( तपxण ) Feeding the Brahmin ( ामण भोज ) Pindadan is the offering of rice, cow’s milk, ghee, sugar and honey in form of Pinda (rounded heap of the offering) to ancestors. Pandadan should be done with whole-heartedness, devotion, sentiments and respect to the deceased soul to fulfil it. Tarpan is the offering of water mixed with black sesame (तल ), Barley ( ज ), Kusha grass ( कु शा ) and white flours. It is believed that ancestors are appeased by the process of Tarpan. Feeding the Brahmin is a must to complete the Shraddha ritual. Offering to the crows are also made before food is offered to the Brahmin. Pitru Paksha Period and Duration Pitru Paksha is the period of fifteen lunar days when Hindus pay homage to their ancestors, especially through food offerings.

  • 2020 Multicultural Calendar
    2020 MULTICULTURAL CALENDAR Cultural Perspectives on Ageing CORALIE CASSADY ABORIGINAL Coralie identifies as Aboriginal, her grandmother’s ancestral connection being the ‘Jirrbal’ people of the Atherton Tablelands area. Both her maternal grandparents were sent to Palm Island where Coralie’s mother was born in 1927. Coralie was born in Innisfail, raised in Ingham and has been living in Townsville since 2000. She graduated from James Cook University with a Diploma of Communication (2001) and also holds a Diploma of Radio Broadcasting from the Batchelor Institute, North Territory (2006). Coralie Cassady has self-published two poetry books ‘Poetic Perspective’ (2001) and ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ (2007). Her poem ‘No Disgrace’ from the book ‘Proper Deadly Poetry’ is now a part of the Australian curriculum, having been published in Pearson’s English 9 textbook in 2012. The same poem also appears on the well informed indigenous themed ‘Creative Spirits’ website. She writes about racism, alcohol abuse, mental health issues, domestic violence, politics and family in general. Coralie’s main passion is mental health issues. She has read her mental health poems and other poems at various events and has been a regular contributor to ‘letters to the editor’ of the Townsville Bulletin on many topics during the past 15 years. Coralie added these reflections during our interview. “Although we speak English at home our traditional language from our ancestral tribe ‘Jirrbal’ is slowly being revived. I usually attend our NAIDOC week events. I read my poem

From the Bhagavad Gita 2/23 3 Introduction Hindus generally observe many sanskars – sacraments or ‘rites of passage’ throughout their lives. For Hindus these sanskars represent the important stages in a person’s life –from conception to death. These sanskars are found in the law books of Manu (Manava-dharma-shastra) – one of the sacred Hindu texts (which comes under the category of smrutis –scriptures that deal with the practical applications of eternal principles) and dates back to 250-100BC.
