  • My Prayer for My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year's

    My Prayer for My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year's

    My Prayer For My Christian Friend on Islamic New Year’s Day - Nigar Friday, 21st August, 2020. It was the first day of the month of Muharram—New Year’s Day according to the Islamic calendar. I received greetings on the occasion from some Muslim friends. One of these, sent by an elderly person, seemed the best. It said something like this: “Happy Islamic New Year. Let us bring in the new year with prayers that Allah ends the coronavirus.” I endorsed this suggestion with an “Ameen”. With much of humankind presently living in fear of the virus and their lives being majorly affected by it, this suggestion seemed most apt. It made me feel upbeat, and I stored this message in my heart. Later that day, my friend Dolcy received a call from a friend of his—let me call him ‘Vick’— who lives in another city. Vick is a Christian priest. One of his passions is to promote understanding and meaningful, positive interaction between people from different religious backgrounds. Dolcy and Vick often speak with each other on the phone. Sometimes, I also chat a bit with Vick. Just some days ago when I spoke with Vick, he had mentioned the recipe of a herbal drink to build immunity in the hope of keeping the coronavirus at bay. He told me that he had the drink every day, after supper. Vick lives in a well-protected campus. I assumed that he did not have to face many physical challenges. He did not need to go out every day to earn a living.

    2020-2021 Calendar of Religious Holidays, Festivals, And

    2020-2021 Calendar of Religious Holidays, Festivals, and Observances for the RISD Community The Religious Practices Advisory Committee developed this calendar as an informational guide for RISD teachers and administrators. It is based on information obtained from committee members and religious leaders in our community about holy days, religious holidays, or other observances they consider to be widely recognized, and on which students of the respective faiths might be absent from school. Teachers and administrators should refer to the calendar when planning major tests and other curricular, extracurricular and special activities, and be sensitive to anticipated student absences or other needs for observances on these dates. Of course, not all dates on which individual students may be absent for religious observances are included on this calendar. Teachers and administrators will consider student absences for religious observances on an individual basis. Parents are urged to discuss with the teacher or principal in advance any particular needs of their students for religious observances. Student absences for religious observances are recorded as “R” days.

    What Do You Know About Hinduism?

    UWS An Inclusive Community UWS Multifaith Chaplaincy September 2008 What do you know about Hinduism? Followers of the teachings of the Vedas are called Hindus. Hindu staff and students form a substantial part of the UWS community. Acknowledging and respecting Hindu identities at UWS therefore requires, in part, a basic understanding of what Hinduism and being a Hindu is about. About Hinduism Hinduism originated and developed in India over the last 3,000-3,500 years. It is the majority religion in India. Hindus believe in one Supreme God who manifests him/herself in many different forms. Some of these include Krishna, Durga, Ganesh, Sakti (Devi), Vishnu, Surya, Siva and Skanda (Murugan). Hindus believe: • in the Vedas (scriptures) • there is one Supreme God who is the creator of the universe • in reincarnation • that everyone creates their own destiny (karma) There are four major Hindu denominations classified according to their respective focus of worship. Vaishnavism Vaishnavism worship Vishnu and his incarnations, particularly Krishna and Rama, as the Supreme God. Saivism Saivites worship Siva (also spelt Shiva) as the Supreme God. Shaktism Shaktas worship God as the Shakti, Sri Devi or the Divine Mother in her many forms. Hindu Dress Code Traditional Hindu women wear the sari.

  • Why Is Raksha Bandhan So Special? the Power of a Thread by R Ām Lingam

    Why Is Raksha Bandhan So Special? the Power of a Thread by R Ām Lingam

    Why is Raksha Bandhan so special? The power of a thread By R ām Lingam The beauty of Indian culture with all its festivals, customs, rituals, traditions and deep philosophy is designed to nurture relationships. The importance of relationship is amply demonstrated and stressed as foremost in its Indian scheme of living ~ be it the relationship of parent-child, teacher-student, husband-wife, brother-sister, humans-other beings, mankind-universe and even the primary relationship between man and GOD. There is a festival, tradition, custom, ritual and social practice for each of these relationships. Also, there is a specific name for each relationship along with a role prescription. There is a different name for each relation in an Indian family. A ‘kaka’ is different to a ‘Mama’ or ‘Masa’ and a ‘Jeth’ is different to a ‘Devar’ yet they are all ‘uncles’ to a child. Watch the teleserial ‘Yeh Rishta kya kahelalata hai’ on Star Plus and you will know about the names of these different Indian relationships. The Indian literature and legends abound with examples of such relationships and role-models. The entire gamut of relationships is thus systematized in the Indian family system. Customs like the Raksha Bandhan is just proof of that, where sisters tie the sacred Rakhi thread on their brothers' right wrists and pray for their long life. ‘Raksha' means ‘protection’ and ‘bandhan' means ‘bond’ making this a unique festival in India which glorifies all relationships, especially that of a special brother-sister relationship. On this day brothers and sisters reach out to show their love, affection, care, respect and togetherness to strengthen the emotional bonding of the family.
