Durga Kills the Buffalo Demon the God Brahma Granted a Boon To
Marsha K. Russell Introduction to Indian Art St. Andrew’s Episcopal School, Austin, TX Durga Kills the Buffalo Demon The god Brahma granted a boon to Mahishasura, the buffalo demon, that no male could kill him. Thinking he was invincible, Mahisha led his demon army in a great battle with the gods and defeated them. Indra and the other gods ran to Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu and told them about the tumultuous battle and their defeat by the demons. From the anger of the gods a great energy emerged and took shape as the beautiful Goddess, Durga. All the gods gave her their weapons; the mountain god gave her a lion for her vehicle. Durga is therefore more powerful than all the gods together. The gods reminded her that they are male and cannot defeat the terrible Mahisha, and asked her to conquer the buffalo demon. She agreed, and the gods shout and cheer in anticipation of victory. Mahisha heard the clamoring of the gods and sent his troops to investigate. They returned to tell the king of the demons about the magnificently beautiful and alluring Goddess they saw riding a lion. Enticed by their description, Mahisha asked Durga to marry him, but she refused him. The angry Mahisha then sent his troops to battle Durga’s army. The Goddess’s army defeated the demon troops, so Mahisha and Durga were left alone on the battlefield. Mahisha ran to kill the Goddess’s lion. Enraged, Durga threw her noose over the demon, but Mahisha had the ability to change his shape at will. -

What will be the most wholesome for his heart, śaṃtamaṃ hṛde ?” What shall we speak (express in ourselves) for Rudra(’s sake and his manifestation here), for the Heart to have the deepest Peace in us! His consciousness is always moving forward, he is the Lord of all the Heavenly Waters, mīḻhuṣṭama, the Strongest among all, tavīyaḥ! Since Rudra is the power ascending to the highest Domains of Consciousness, what Word one must find to express Him here? It must be expressed in such a way that it bring the deepest satisfaction in the Heart. -
Mythologies of the Indian Goddess in Sex
Vol-6 Issue-5 2020 IJARIIE-ISSN(O)-2395-4396 Matrix—Copulating and Childless: Mythologies of the Indian Goddess in Sex Suwanee Goswami* and Dr. Eric Soreng** *Research Scholar Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi **Assistant Professor Department of Psychology University of Delhi Delhi ABSTRACT The paper on Matrix is a Jungian oriented mythological research on the Indian Goddess. ‘Goddess in sex’ means that She is fertile and in copulation but Her womb—Matrix—never bears fruits. Her copulation does not consummate in conception because the gods prevent it. She is married and as wife copulates to conceive, but only becomes Kumari-Mata, the Virgin Mother, in Her various manifestations and beget offspring parthenogenetically. She embodies not only maternal love but also encompass intense sexual passion as well as profound spiritual devotion; Her fertility fructifying into ascetical and spiritual wisdom. Such is the mythological series of Goddess Parvati. Her mythologies are recollected and rearranged to form a structural whole for reflection and interpretation wherever possible. The paper consummates with the mythic images of the primacy of the Sacred Feminine in India. Key Words: Matrix, Goddess Parvati, Goddess Kali Carl Jung (1981) defines the Matrix as “the form into which all experience is poured”. He conceptualized the Collective Unconscious as the mother, the source of psychic life and all the manifestations of the psyche. In the lifespan development overcoming the impediments in the world outside that obstructs man’s ascent liberates him from the mother and that leaves in him an eternal thirst which makes him return back to drink renewal from the source of psychic energy and life. -
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. -
Aryan and Non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the Linguistic Situation, C
Michael Witzel, Harvard University Aryan and non-Aryan Names in Vedic India. Data for the linguistic situation, c. 1900-500 B.C.. § 1. Introduction To describe and interpret the linguistic situation in Northern India1 in the second and the early first millennium B.C. is a difficult undertaking. We cannot yet read and interpret the Indus script with any degree of certainty, and we do not even know the language(s) underlying these inscriptions. Consequently, we can use only data from * archaeology, which provides, by now, a host of data; however, they are often ambiguous as to the social and, by their very nature, as to the linguistic nature of their bearers; * testimony of the Vedic texts , which are restricted, for the most part, to just one of the several groups of people that inhabited Northern India. But it is precisely the linguistic facts which often provide the only independent measure to localize and date the texts; * the testimony of the languages that have been spoken in South Asia for the past four thousand years and have left traces in the older texts. Apart from Vedic Skt., such sources are scarce for the older periods, i.e. the 2 millennia B.C. However, scholarly attention is too much focused on the early Vedic texts and on archaeology. Early Buddhist sources from the end of the first millennium B.C., as well as early Jaina sources and the Epics (with still undetermined dates of their various strata) must be compared as well, though with caution. The amount of attention paid to Vedic Skt. -
