After 14 years of hard work and struggles, the building of 32,600 sq. ft. of our Temple of Unity and Community Center is complete. The celebratory dedication of the Temple to our Gods and the Community Center to serve our community is scheduled for November 7, 8 and 9, 2008. We cordially invite you to attend this, once in a life time event, with your family and friends. This architectural master piece sits on a six acre site in Mahwah, New Jersey. The Temple is built around a tranquil pond - our "Ganga Sagar" that was created millennia ago when a cosmic rock is believed to have collided with earth. Water from major rivers of India will be poured into this natural pond symbolizing our arrival to the United States of America. The nine Darbars - "Abodes of Gods" are complete with the most beautiful statues of Ganesh Ji, Ram Darbar, Vishnu and Laxmi Ji, Shiv Parivar, Durga Ma, Bala Ji, Hanuman Ji, Radha and Krishna Ji, and Saraswati Ma (Darbars for Bhagwan Jain and Sai Baba Ji will be completed by December, 2008). The Darbars rise 20 ft. high with gold domes surrounded by murals of snow clad mountains and the brilliant sky to create the most tranquil environment for prayers and meditation. The Community Center has been built to the best standards of world class facility. In addition, a Senior Citizen Center and a School dedicated to teaching music, dance, Indian culture and languages to our children have been built to meet the ever growing needs of our community. A Museum dedicated to Indians’ journey to United States will be housed in the adjoining 4,200 sq. ft., 152 year old home that has just received the recognition award as the best preserved historic home in New Jersey. The members of our community have contributed over 5 million dollars through their generous donations. In addition, we have borrowed 4.6 million dollars to complete this master piece work of art - a home for our community. The details of the dedication program on November 7, 8 and 9, 2008 are enclosed. Please join us in continuing the tradition of generous contribution to help this facility grow; come and become a Yajman in the Prana Prathistha ceremony; write a mannat (your special prayer) to Gods to be permanently placed under their feet; come and volunteer to help plant the garden; come and help us with the program for children and seniors; come help us cook prasad; come help us in extending a helping hand to others in the community; come with the dedication to do anything else that your heart desires. Please share this information with your family and friends and join us to celebrate this great moment in the life of our community. Please visit our website at www.hindusamajmandir.org for directions and more information. Sincerely, Sevaks, Trustees and Members of Hindu Samaj Mandir What is Pranaprathista The Hindu Temple is not a building. It is a conception of Divinity. The Glory of the lord is seen everywhere, and the temples play the role of lenses where the prayers by the devotees strengthens the community and enhances the presence of the lord. So the temple building and worship in the temple bring communities together and bring peace and prosperity. The role of Pranaprathista is to give divine power to the idols through various rituals as prescribed in Vedas and by sages and vedic scholars. Prana means breath or life. During the pranaprathista, the Pandits and devotees give Prana to the idols through prayers and rituals.These rituals are generally accomplished in a span of three to five days with several rites prescribed in Agama Sastra. The rites begin with Puja to MAHAGANAPATHI and include several preparatory rituals such as PUNYAHAVACHANAM(purification), RITVIK ACHARYA VARANAM(offering of special garments to pandits) , KALASA STAPANA(where divine power is invoked in water kept in pots), AGNI PRATHISTA(establishing fire for havans),ANKURAARPANAM(seeding the soil symbolize the growth and prosperity of the temple and community), VASTU PUJA,and NAYANONMEELANAM(opening the eyes of the murthis). In addition there is YANTRA STAPANA(specially designed silver plates are placed under the murthis with gem stones and gold coins). The above is a partial list of the rites that will be performed. During the whole ceremony the pundits will chant the moola mantra for each deity and perform Havans. Based on the design of the Temple, some temples will have KUMBHABHISHEKAM as the last step. Here in this article, only a brief description of the prathista has been given. The information for this article was taken from a very detailed write up by Dr.S.Yeganasubramanian in the journal PARAMAARTHA TATTVAM. -: Puja Schedule :- Presiding Priest: Pt.

  • Bharatanatyam: Eroticism, Devotion, and a Return to Tradition

    Bharatanatyam: Eroticism, Devotion, and a Return to Tradition

    BHARATANATYAM: EROTICISM, DEVOTION, AND A RETURN TO TRADITION A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Religion In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Taylor Steine May/2016 Page 1! of 34! Abstract The classical Indian dance style of Bharatanatyam evolved out of the sadir dance of the devadāsīs. Through the colonial period, the dance style underwent major changes and continues to evolve today. This paper aims to examine the elements of eroticism and devotion within both the sadir dance style and the contemporary Bharatanatyam. The erotic is viewed as a religious path to devotion and salvation in the Hindu religion and I will analyze why this eroticism is seen as religious and what makes it so vital to understanding and connecting with the divine, especially through the embodied practices of religious dance. Introduction Bharatanatyam is an Indian dance style that evolved from the sadir dance of devadāsīs. Sadir has been popular since roughly the 6th century. The original sadir dance form most likely originated in the area of Tamil Nadu in southern India and was used in part for temple rituals. Because of this connection to the ancient sadir dance, Bharatanatyam has historic traditional value. It began as a dance style performed in temples as ritual devotion to the gods. This original form of the style performed by the devadāsīs was inherently religious, as devadāsīs were women employed by the temple specifically to perform religious texts for the deities and for devotees. Because some sadir pieces were dances based on poems about kings and not deities, secularism does have a place in the dance form.

    Dasti Yoga © 2015 by Richard Merrill Dasti Yoga Is a Spiritual Practice of Devotion Through Craft and Art, As Well As Other Handwork

    Dasti Yoga © 2015 by Richard Merrill Dasti Yoga is a spiritual practice of devotion through craft and art, as well as other handwork. The word dasti means “of the hand, or pertaining to the hand.”i It is associated with kriya yoga, or karma yoga, of which there are many variants. Lekh Raj Puriii defines Dasti Yoga as yoga “with the hands,” in such activities as the telling of rosary beads, as well as in the handcrafts and trades. Dasti yoga can involve any activity with the hands, from washing dishes to playing a violin sonata. It is the remembering of God while performing good and useful actions. Its relationship to karma yoga is in the performing of actions as worship, without any desire for benefit or rewardiii. Sri Swami Satchidananda quotes a Hindu saying, ‘ “Man me Ram, hath me kam.” “There is work in the hand, but Ram [God] in the mind.” iv This is the state of one who has realized the goal of Dasti yoga. One example of an ancient Dasti practice is Dasti Attam, or dasi attam, sacred temple dancing once performed as worship in southern India by devadasis, or “servants of God”v. Indira dasi, a classical dancer and authority on the history of the dance arts in India, writes in Classical Indian Temple Dancevi that the devas or demi-gods were sent to earth by their father to perform drama and dance in order to lift a curse that had been placed upon them. They founded the arts as they are known today. This is the mythic origin of the Indian classical dance form Bharatha Natyam, widely recognized as India’s national dance.
  • A History of Legal and Moral Regulation of Temple Dance in India

    A History of Legal and Moral Regulation of Temple Dance in India

    Naveiñ Reet: Nordic Journal of Law and Social Research (NNJLSR) No.6 2015, pp. 131-148 Dancing Through Laws: A History of Legal and Moral Regulation of Temple Dance in India Stine Simonsen Puri Introduction In 1947, in the state of Tamil Nadu in South India, an Act was passed, “The Tamil Nadu Devadasis (Prevention of Dedication) Act,” which among other things banned the dancing of women in front of Hindu temples. The Act was to target prostitution among the so-called devadasis that were working as performers within and beyond Hindu temples, and who, according to custom also were ritually married or dedicated to temple gods. The Act was the culmination of decades of public and legal debates centred on devadasis, who had come to symbolize what was considered a degenerated position of women within Hindu society. Concurrent with this debate, the dance of the devadasis which had developed through centuries was revived and reconfigured among the Indian upper class; and eventually declared one of Indian national dances, called bharatanatyam (which can translate as Indian dance). Today, while parts of the devadasi tradition have been banned, bharatanatyam is a popular activity for young girls and women among the urban middle and upper classes in all parts of India. The aim of this article is to examine moral boundaries tied to the female moving body in India. I do so by looking into the ways in which the regulation of a certain kind of dancers has framed the moral boundaries for contemporary young bharatanatyam dancers. A focus on legal and moral interventions in dance highlights the contested role of the female body in terms of gender roles, religious ideology, and moral economy.

    Cultural Digestion of a less dominant culture by a more dominant culture is motivated by the desire to assimilate and reduce differences by asserting sameness. As a consequence, the less dominant culture is stripped of its distinctive, traditional cultural practices and values. These are now a component of the dominant culture and become associated with it. Memories of origins are erased and, eventually, the less dominant culture disappears. Examples of Digestion are provided below. Digestions Completed: Christmas/Easter was digested from Pagans and are core parts of Christian culture. Digestions in Progress: Surya Namaskar => SON Salutation (SON here refers to Son of GOD, rather than SUN) Yoga ==> Christian Yoga (The term YOGA remains as a Sanskrit Non-Translatable) Significance of Non-Translatability of Sanskrit In Chapter 5 of Being Different, the author asserts that “holding on to Sanskrit terms and thereby preserving the complete range of their meanings becomes a way of resisting colonization.” The non-translatability of Sanskrit is important for the non-digestibility of Indian traditions. The word YOGA could not be translated into Exercise, Prayer or Gymnastics. The non-translatability ensures that YOGA is associated with its origin and development in and thus preserves the authentic philosophy and cultural practices surrounding YOGA. Here are some important Non-Translatable Sanskrit words. BRAHMAN IS NOT GOD Brahman comes from root word 'brih' means to expand.

    Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy, the Devadasis, and the Events That Shaped Post-Colonial Bharatanatyam

    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 9, Issue 4, April-2018 774 ISSN 2229-5518 Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy, the Devadasis, and the Events that shaped Post-Colonial Bharatanatyam. Bindu S. Rao Abstract — Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy plays a very important role in the way Bharatanatyam was perceived post-independence, especially by many noted historians, columnists, researchers, academicians, and the general media responsible for bringing out everything about the re-christening of Bharatanatyam. Pre-Independence, dancing in private parties had become a form of entertainment, that most reformist had raised their voice against. Though this was not rampant, and almost exists even today in many ways, yet, temple dance tradition was getting maligned from the involvement of some devadasis due to their vulnerable background, and the control their patrons had over them. Temple dancing tradition, Private Nautch, devadasis, Bharatanatyam, Court dance, was a hotchpotch of misunderstood terminologies seemingly resembling and connecting each other, that would eventually lead to a mystery that remains unsolved even in the post- independence era for Bharatanatyam, and would worsen in the millennium era with many writers and researchers taking past references to create their own stories and interpretations. Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy’s noble work of devadasi rehabilitation through devadasi abolition bill was misinterpreted by many, and opposed for being against the devadasis and their dance tradition. Dr. Muthulakshmi Reddy went ahead with her noble work of rehabilitation of vulnerable devadasis, and devoted her entire life for it. It was she, who removed the weeds and enabled Bharatanatyam to flourish, by being instrumental in banning the dedication of devadasis to the temples.
