    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org ||Volume 4 Issue 8 || August. 2015 || PP.31-35 Sacred Space On Earth : (Spaces Built By Societal Facts) Dr Jhikmik Kar Rani Dhanya Kumari College, Jiaganj, Murshidabad. Kalyani University. ABSTRACT: To the Hindus the whole world is sacred as it is believed to spring from the very body of God. Hindus call these sacred spaces to be “tirthas” which is the doorway between heaven and earth. These tirthas(sacred spaces) highlights the great act of gods and goddesses as well as encompasses the mythic events surrounding them. It signifies a living sacred geographical space, a place where everything is blessed pure and auspicious. One of such sacred crossings is Shrikshetra Purosottam Shetra or Puri in Orissa.(one of the four abodes of lord Vishnu in the east). This avenue collects a vast array of numerous mythic events related to Lord Jagannatha, which over the centuries attracted numerous pilgrims from different corners of the world and stand in a place empowered by the whole of India’s sacred geography. This sacred tirtha created a sacred ceremonial/circumbulatory path with the main temple in the core and the secondary shrines on the periphery. The mythical/ritual traditions are explained by redefining separate ritual (sacred) spaces. The present study is an attempt to understand their various features of these ritual spaces and their manifestations in reality at modern Puri, a temple town in Orissa, Eastern India. KEYWORDS: sacred geography, space, Jagannatha Temple I. Introduction Puri is one of the most important and famous sacred spaces (TirthaKhetra) of the Hindus.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

  • Exegesis of the Ayodhya Verdict
    EXEGESIS OF THE AYODHYA VERDICT OVERVIEW: The report throws light on the Supreme Court verdict released on November 9th 2019 with regards to the Ayodhya case and the intricate history revolving the case. The Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute or more commonly known as the Ayodhya case has been the most controversial court case of Independent India. It has been an emotive issue and has been mired in a slew of legal suites for over 70 years. The entire dispute is about 2.77 acres of land, which is approximately the size of two football fields. And yet, this land dispute has continued from the Mughal-era to a British rule to 2019, until, the legal conclusion on the case was announced by the Supreme Court on 9th November 2019, marking an end to decades of uncertainty on the issue. What value do this 2.77 acres hold for the people of India that turned this case into one of the most sensitive and controversial cases in India? What could be the influence of the verdict on this case and to what extent could it affect the common man? To be able to answer such questions, we need to understand the labyrinthine events that triggered this dispute. HISTORY: A. TEMPLE DEMOLISHMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF MOSQUE • The Hindu epic Ramayana states that the Hindu deity Lord Ram was born almost 900,000 years ago during the Treta Yuga in Ayodhya on the banks of the river Sarayu. This is identified with present-day Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. According to the beliefs of the Hindus, the ancient temple which stood in place of the demolished Babri mosque marked the exact birthplace of Lord Ram.

  • The Significance of North East India in the Development of the Sculpture of Bagan
    1 The significance of North East India in the development of the sculpture of Bagan Heather Elgood, MBE Course Director, Postgraduate Diploma in Asian Arts 26/10/2017 2 ABSTRACT The paper briefly introduces Pala sculpture and the changes which took place from its pre-Pala style. It considers the growing complexity of design from the 8th - 12th century in East India and examines the religious context and the Buddhist monasteries’ esoteric aims of visualisation in their focus on the Buddha image in meditative discipline. It will consider what if any of these religious aims and stylistic characteristics might have been carried from the Pala region to Bagan, focussing on the development of Bagan stone and bronze sculpture in the 11th – 13th centuries. The paper will first look at evidence of the similarities and findings of Pala and Bagan pilgrim votive images. It will then explore similarities and differences between Pala and Bagan stone and bronze sculpture. The comparison will reveal the distinctive character and the development of a distinctively Bagan and Myanmar style in later sculpture, one reflecting the vibrant Buddhist practice which continues to this day. Finally, it will briefly touch on the clear link in the paintings of Pala text illustration and that of a few rare examples of twelfth century painting at the ancient Buddhist site of Bagan in Upper Myanmar. Map Time estimate to travel between Bagan and Bodhgaya Introduction This paper explores the significance of North-East India on the development of the Buddhist art of Bagan in the eleventh to the thirteenth century.

  • Ram Janma Bhoomi Facts
    1 “OM” Jai Sri Ram! Facts About Sri Ram Janma-Bhoomi Liberation Movement 01. Points of dispute (i) The Ayodhya dispute is not any ordinary temple-mosque dispute as the Temple of Nativity of Sri Ram is not just any other temple! (ii) It is a struggle to reclaim and regain the haloed Native Land/Birthplace of Bhagwan, and this Native Land is a Deity in itself and there can be no splitting up or division of the Deity. Ramlala Virajman (Infant Sri Ram sitting at His Birthplace) at His Native Land – is a perpetual minor and a juridical person – a legal entity – having a distinct identity and legal rights and obligations under the law. None else can have ownership rights over Bhagwan’s property. (iii) The birthplace is non-exchangeable. It cannot be swapped, bartered, sold or donated! (iv) The entire dispute is over about 1460 square yards (1209.026 Square Meter) of land – the length-width of which is maximum 140 X 100 feet. The 70 acres of land acquired by the Government of India is separate from it and is with the Government of India over which no lawsuit is pending in court. (v) The entire site under consideration in the court is that of Ramlala (Infant Ram) Virajman. It is the Place of Birth, Place of Pastimes, playing field and recreational area of Bhagwan. Describing the significance of this place, the Skanda Purana, written thousands of years ago, says that the Darshan (discerning/sighting) of the haloed birthplace of Sri Ram is liberating. (vi) Temples of adorable Deities of any community can be built in many places in the country, statues of great men can be put up at many places, but their place of manifestation/birth would be located at one place and that can never be dislocated or put out of place.

  • TIF - the Ayodhya Verdict Dissected
    TIF - The Ayodhya Verdict Dissected SAIF AHMAD KHAN February 7, 2020 A view of the Babri Masjid overlooking the banks of the Sarayu as viewed in a late 18th century painting by William Hodges | Wikimedia A close analysis of the Supreme Court's final judgement on the Ayodhya dispute that has been criticised as much as it has been praised for how it has brought about closure The Supreme Court on 12 December 2019 dismissed the 18 review petitions which had been filed in response to its Ayodhya verdict. Although the Ayodhya title dispute lasted for over a century, the apex court acted in the swiftest possible manner while disposing of the review pleas. It did not “find any ground whatsoever” to entertain the review petitions after having “carefully gone through” the attached papers that had been submitted. Despite the Court’s benevolent view of its judgement, the truth is that the verdict pronounced by the five-judge bench on November 9 was full of contradictions. To put it plainly: the Supreme Court chose to bow down before the forces of majoritarian thuggery and extremism. Logic and law were conveniently set aside by the top court to appease a certain radical section of the society. Attempt to pacify the Muslim litigants To do complete justice in the Ayodhya dispute, the Supreme Court invoked Article 142 of the Indian Constitution. Technically speaking, Article 142 can be employed in cases of second appeal. The Ayodhya title dispute wasn’t heard at the level of a district court. It came directly for hearing before the Allahabad High Court.
