  • The Guru and the Rebbe: Relationality in the Devotional Practices of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-Ji and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson
    UCLA Journal of Religion Vol. 4, 2020 UCLA Journal of Religion Volume 4 2020 The Guru and the Rebbe: Relationality in the Devotional Practices of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson Jonah Gelfand Oberlin College ABSTRACT When reading through the stories of Hindu gurus and Hasidic rebbes, the similarities are immediately apparent. This paper will argue that these similarities are due to a parallel need among devotees for ‘relationality,’ which can be seen in case studies of the devotional practices of darshan of the Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji and yechidut with the Seventh ​ ​ ​ ​ Lubavitcher Rebbe of Chabad, Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Additionally, it will be argued that the primary function of saints is to provide their devotees with an accessible form of divinity thereby fulfilling the underlying human desire to be in a relationship with the divine. Relationality’s central role will be proven by exploring a composite definition of the term that draws on four building blocks; the theory of intersubjectivity, Buberian Dialogism, and the practices of darshan in Hinduism, and yechidut in Hasidism. ​ ​ ​ ​ Keywords: darshan, yechidut, Chabad-Lubavitch, Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji, intersubjectivity, Buberian Dialogism 88 Jonah Gelfand The Guru and the Rebbe UCLA Journal of Religion Volume 4 2020 The Guru and the Rebbe: Relationality in the Devotional Practices of Neem Karoli Baba Maharaj-ji and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson Jonah Gelfand1 Oberlin College Maharajji’s company was very special… his presence was more than inspiring; it was enlightening. While mediating in or near his presence, even though he’d be talking and joking loudly, one quickly reached the place of clear light, a place difficult to achieve without his grace and power.2 I know of no one who left the Rebbe without being deeply affected, if not changed by the encounter..

What we witnessed we will never forget for the rest of our lives. We were there officially after official intimation to the District administration that we were there only to ‘monitor’ what was going on. What followed is history today to all others, but to those who were on there participating in ‘their’ protest for their air, water and land and the family members of the deceased and the injured, these are not events that are easy to forgot.

  • Der Tag Im Süden Kreuzfahrt
    Der Tag im Süden Der Tag im Süden beinhaltet die Highlights der Insel Mauritius im Süden und Südwesten in einer Tour. Eine vielbesuchte Touristenattraktion ist in Curepipe der Krater Trou aux Cerfs, ein alltägliches Ziel der Jogger von Curepipe. Der Krater Trou aux Cerfs gilt als Monogenetic, das heisst er hatte nur einen Ausbruch bisher. Momentan ist er geologisch schlafend, kann aber in den nächsten 1000 Jahren wieder aktiv werden. Weitere Krater finden sich beim Bassin Blanc, Trou Kanaka und dem Grand Bassin. L`escalier ist mit etwa 20000 Jahren die letzte und damit jüngste Vulkanische Aktivität. Durch seine Höhenlage von etwa 600m bietet der Kamm des Kraterrandes ein herrlichen Blick auf Curepipe sowie das bergige Umland. Wenn das Wetter mitspielt sind hier fast alle Berge von Mauritius in voller Schönheit zu erblicken, ganz in der Nähe Tross Mamelles, Montagne du Rempart und der Corps de Garde. Im Norden sind es der Le Pouce und der Peter Both. Ein kleiner Spaziergang um dem Krater mit seinen etwas mehr als 200m bietet Ihnen einen fantastischen Rundumblick. Grand Bassin Der etwa 2km östlich von Le Pétrin gelegene Kratersee, von den Hindus auch Ganga Talao (See des Ganges) genannt, ist die größte hinduistische Pilgerstätte außerhalb Indiens. Am Eingang von Ganga Talao befindet sich seit 2007 eine 33 m hohe Shiva-Statue. Dies ist die höchste Statue von Mauritius. Bei ihr handelt es sich um eine Kopie der Statue vom Sursagar Talav-See im indischen Vadodara. Auf der anderen Straßenseite befindet sich eine weitere ebenfalls 33 m hohe Statue, die Durga Maa Bhavani zeigt.

  • Maha Shivaratri
    Maha Shivaratri Maha Shivaratri (Maha Shivratri, Maha Sivaratri, Shivaratri, Sivaratri) is a festival that is dedicated to the worship Lord Shiva on the 13th or 14th day of the Hindu month of Maagha or Phalguna. The festival usually occurs in the month of February or March and is observed for one day and night only. The festival of 'Maha Shivratri' which literally translates to 'the greatest night of Shiva' is one of the most splendidly celebrated festivals across India. But, why is Shivratri celebrated? There is more than one Mahashivaratri story surrounding this occasion. Here are a few: • One is that Lord Shiva married Parvati on this day. So, it is a celebration of this sacred union. • Another is that when the Gods and demons churned the ocean together to obtain ambrosia that lay in its depths, a pot of poison emerged. Lord Shiva consumed this poison, saving both the Gods and mankind. The poison lodged in the Lord’s throat, turning him blue. To honor the savior of the world, Shivratri is celebrated. • One more legend is that as Goddess Ganga descended from heaven in full force, Lord Shiva caught her in his matted locks, and released her on to Earth as several streams. This prevented destruction on Earth. As a tribute to Him, the Shivalinga is bathed on this auspicious night. • Also, it is believed that the formless God Sadashiv appeared in the form of a Lingodhbhav Moorthi at midnight. Hence, people stay awake all night, offering prayers to the God. A student's experience of celebrating Maha Shiviratri I came from Mauritius and Maha Shivaratri is celebrated during the new moon and during this period of time most Hindus will start there pilgrimage to the sacred lake of Ganga Talao located in Grande Bassin.
