In sum it means cultivating and refining Ta thing to such an extent that its end product evokes our admiration and respect. This is practically the same as ‘Sanskriti’ of the Sanskrit language. The term ‘Sanskriti’ has been derived from the root ‘Kri (to do) of Sanskrit language. Three words came from this root ‘Kri; prakriti’ (basic matter or condition), ‘Sanskriti’ (refined matter or condition) and ‘vikriti’ (modified or decayed matter or condition) when ‘prakriti’ or a raw material is refined it becomes ‘Sanskriti’ and when broken or damaged it becomes ‘vikriti’. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson you will be able to: understand the concept and meaning of culture; establish the relationship between culture and civilization; Establish the link between culture and heritage; discuss the role and impact of culture in human life. 1.1 CONCEPT OF CULTURE Culture is a way of life.

    “Temple of My Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal's

    “Temple of my Heart”: Understanding Religious Space in Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshi Community Aditya N. Bhattacharjee School of Religious Studies McGill University Montréal, Canada A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts August 2017 © 2017 Aditya Bhattacharjee Bhattacharjee 2 Abstract In this thesis, I offer new insight into the Hindu Bangladeshi community of Montreal, Quebec, and its relationship to community religious space. The thesis centers on the role of the Montreal Sanatan Dharma Temple (MSDT), formally inaugurated in 2014, as a community locus for Montreal’s Hindu Bangladeshis. I contend that owning temple space is deeply tied to the community’s mission to preserve what its leaders term “cultural authenticity” while at the same time allowing this emerging community to emplace itself in innovative ways in Canada. I document how the acquisition of community space in Montreal has emerged as a central strategy to emplace and renew Hindu Bangladeshi culture in Canada. Paradoxically, the creation of a distinct Hindu Bangladeshi temple and the ‘traditional’ rites enacted there promote the integration and belonging of Bangladeshi Hindus in Canada. The relationship of Hindu- Bangladeshi migrants to community religious space offers useful insight on a contemporary vision of Hindu authenticity in a transnational context. Bhattacharjee 3 Résumé Dans cette thèse, je présente un aperçu de la communauté hindoue bangladaise de Montréal, au Québec, et surtout sa relation avec l'espace religieux communautaire. La thèse s'appuie sur le rôle du temple Sanatan Dharma de Montréal (MSDT), inauguré officiellement en 2014, en tant que point focal communautaire pour les Bangladeshis hindous de Montréal.

    Caste in Mind: Craving for Endogamy Reflection from the Bengali Matrimonial Columns of the Higher Castes Dr

    Anudhyan: An International Journal of Social Sciences (AIJSS) Caste in Mind: Craving for Endogamy Reflection from the Bengali Matrimonial Columns of the Higher Castes Dr. Aparnita Bhattacharjee ABSTRACT Marriage is socially considered as one of the most important happenings of one’s life. Like other Indian communities, Bengali community has been also traditionally hooked up with preference for endogamy. This is evident from the matrimonial columns published in the dailies across West Bengal in searching suitable brides and grooms. It may seem that with the spread of education Bengali people have become less inclined to attach much value towards caste- oriented mindset while negotiating for marriage. A study of matrimonial columns published in the Ananda Bazar Patrika, the leading daily from Kolkata reveals that people of the two higher castes in Bengal i.e. Brahmanas and Baidyas still give preference to caste identity and crave for prospective endogamous marital negotiations. Key Words: Marriage, Matrimonial Columns, Endogamy, Hypergamy, Hypogamy, Caste (Brahmana & Baidya) Introduction: negotiations for marriages within the same socio- Negotiated or arranged marriage is still substantially economic background of the negotiating families considered one of the options for finding suitable concerned.

    Namah, Shudra, Reservation and Relevance of Guruchand Thakur

    Pratidhwani the Echo A Peer-Reviewed International Journal of Humanities & Social Science ISSN: 2278-5264 (Online) 2321-9319 (Print) Impact Factor: 6.28 (Index Copernicus International) Volume-VIII, Issue-I, July 2019, Page No. 249-258 P ublished by Dept. of Bengali, Karimganj College, Karimganj, Assam, India Website: http://www.thecho.in Namah, Shudra, Reservation and relevance of Guruchand Thakur Tejen Mandal Scholar of Adamas University,Barasat and Part-time Teacher of ShriKrishna College, Bagula Nadia, West Bengal Abstract 'Namah' is an oxidizable 'lion' Caste, at least in the past it is obey. But in ruthless state conspiracy, they have become a 'Sheep', 'Shudra'. Until the appearance of Hari-Guruchand Thakur from faraway, undivided India has not seen such a significant role in the centuries of religion, society, education, industry, literature, culture, economy and politics. Even today, they do not know their glorious tradition or they are not allowed to know about them. However, after the emergence of Hari-Guruchand's Matua religion (about 200 years ago), they began to take a little bit, but still they were drenched like a sinking ship, due to the lack of proper sailors in different Castes-Varnas. Key words: Namah, Shudra, Namahshudra, Reservation, Guruchand Thakur. ‘Namasudra’ is one of the 60 Scheduled Castes of which the official list of Scheduled Castes of the government of West Bengal is composed. ‘Namah’ and ‘Shudra’ are contradictory terms.(1) Although there is no ‘Shudra’ words in the case of other Scheduled Castes, but this juxtaposition takes place in the case of ‘Namah’. ‘Namah’ is written in ‘Namasudra’on Caste certificate, it is not sub-portion of Hindu religion or Hindu Caste.
  • The Gospel of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi Recorded by HER DEVOTEE – CHILDREN

    The Gospel of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi Recorded by HER DEVOTEE – CHILDREN

    The Gospel of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi Recorded by HER DEVOTEE – CHILDREN Page 1 of 769 PREFACE 'The Gospel of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi', is the full translation of the Bengali work 'Sri Sri Mayer Katha', parts of which have already come out in translation under other titles. This Math itself had published some important sections of it as early as 1940 under the title 'Conversations of the Holy Mother', incorporated in her biography 'Sri Sarada Devi the Holy Mother'. The present book, however, embodies the whole of the Bengali text. Most of the reminiscences and conversations of the Holy Mother, except what appears in the great work of Swami Saradeshananda, entitled 'The Mother as I saw her', also published by this Math, are now available for the English reading public in one volume. Recorded as it is by a large number of the devotee- children of the Mother, the present book reveals to mankind a great character that chose to remain outside public notice behind the Purdah and in the obscurity of the village of Jayrambati. Even under these conditions the great lady's greatness could not be obscured. Through the impressions and recollections of a large number of men and women of various stations in life, who came into contact with Sri Sarada Devi, her greatness emerges in Page 2 of 769 the bright colours of Universal Motherhood, never before witnessed in so striking a manner in any personality we know of. Therefore, while the contents of this book are of special importance to the followers of Sri Ramakrishna, they can make an appeal to all who appreciate the great human value of motherliness.
