Annual and Lifetime Puja Sponsorship ए कं स%&व(ा बहुधा वदि0त (Ekam Sat Vipraha Bahuda Vadanti) - Rig Veda (1.164.46) The truth is one; but the wise, talk of many. The one God, in His/Her infinite compassion, takes on several forms (Ishta Devata – personal God) to fulfill the needs and aspirations of His/Her devotees. Sri Siva Vishnu Temple was founded on this principle of having several Ishta Devatas to meet the needs of a wide range of devotees. Worship of Ishta Devata and Kula Devata (Family Deity) is a special tradition to all Hindus. Supporting the rituals to various Deities according to one’s choice and ability not only helps in maintaining this tradition, but it is recommended by the scriptures as one’s duty. By supporting such activities in the temple, benefits accrue to the masses, and it sets a good example for future generations to follow. Certain pujas are not conducive to be performed at home on a regular basis (ex. Siva Abhisheka, Padi Puja for Lord Ayyappa, or Butter Alankara for Lord Anjaneya) but are easily possible in a temple setting. Our scriptures place an emphasis on doing Pujas for the various deities on important days at the appropriate time (thithis); but due to schedules and other responsibilities, devotees may not be able to personally participate in these activities. Supporting the worship of your Ishta Devatas on important days during the year has been made easy through the Annual and Lifetime Sponsorship Program at SSVT. Sponsorship of your favorite deities will ensure that Pujas are done on your behalf on special days regardless of if you are present on that day. These tax-deductible sponsorship donations are at a discount compared to sponsorship of individual programs during the course of the year. Annual sponsorships are valid for one year from the date of sponsorship. Lifetime sponsorships are valid in perpetuity and are deposited into the Sri Siva Vishnu Temple Endowment. You have helped build one of the largest temples in the United States; now consider extending the same generosity to ensure its future. Sponsor an Ishta Deity for a year, or in perpetuity and preserve Dharma today and for the future.

  • Kriya-Yoga" in the Youpi-Sutra
    ON THE "KRIYA-YOGA" IN THE YOUPI-SUTRA By Shingen TAKAGI The Yogasutra (YS.) defines that yoga is suppression of the activity of mind in its beginning. The Yogabhasya (YBh.) by Vyasa, the oldest (1) commentary on this sutra says "yoga is concentration (samadhi)". Now- here in the sutra itself yoga is not used as a synonym of samadhi. On the other hand, Nyayasutra (NS.) 4, 2, 38 says of "the practice of a spe- cial kind of concentration" in connection with realizing the cognition of truth, and also NS. 4, 2, 42 says that the practice of yoga should be done in a quiet places such as forest, a natural cave, or river side. According NS. 4, 2, 46, the atman can be purified through abstention (yama), obser- vance (niyama), through yoga and the means of internal exercise. It can be surmised that the author of NS. also used the two terms samadhi and yoga as synonyms, since it speaks of a special kind of concentration on one hand, and practice of yoga on the other. In the Nyayabhasya (NBh. ed. NS. 4, 2, 46), the author says that the method of interior exercise should be understood by the Yogasastra, enumerating austerity (tapas), regulation of breath (pranayama), withdrawal of the senses (pratyahara), contem- plation (dhyana) and fixed-attention (dharana). He gives the practice of yoga (yogacara) as another method. It seems, through NS. 4, 2, 46 as mentioned above, that Vatsyayana regarded yama, niyama, tapas, prana- yama, pratyahara, dhyana, dharana and yogacara as the eight aids to the yoga.

  • Universal Mythology: Stories
    Universal Mythology: Stories That Circle The World Lydia L. This installation is about mythology and the commonalities that occur between cultures across the world. According to folklorist Alan Dundes, myths are sacred narratives that explain the evolution of the world and humanity. He defines the sacred narratives as “a story that serves to define the fundamental worldview of a culture by explaining aspects of the natural world, and delineating the psychological and social practices and ideals of a society.” Stories explain how and why the world works and I want to understand the connections in these distant mythologies by exploring their existence and theories that surround them. This painting illustrates the connection between separate cultures through their polytheistic mythologies. It features twelve deities, each from a different mythology/religion. By including these gods, I have allowed for a diversified group of cultures while highlighting characters whose traits consistently appear in many mythologies. It has the Celtic supreme god, Dagda; the Norse trickster god, Loki; the Japanese moon god, Tsukuyomi; the Aztec sun god, Huitzilopochtli; the Incan nature goddess, Pachamama; the Egyptian water goddess, Tefnut; the Polynesian fire goddess, Mahuika; the Inuit hunting goddess, Arnakuagsak; the Greek fate goddesses, the Moirai: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos; the Yoruba love goddess, Oshun; the Chinese war god, Chiyou; and the Hindu death god, Yama. The painting was made with acrylic paint on mirror. Connection is an important element in my art, and I incorporate this by using the mirror to bring the audience into the piece, allowing them to see their reflection within the parting of the clouds, whilst viewing the piece.

Preface: Tirth Yatras or pilgrimages have been an integral part of Hinduism. Pilgrimages are considered quite important by the ritualistic followers of Sanathana dharma. There are a few centers of sacredness, which are held at high esteem by the ardent devotees who dream to travel and worship God in these holy places. All these holy sites have some mythological significance attached to them. When people go to a temple, they say they go for Darsan – of the image of the presiding deity. The pinnacle act of Hindu worship is to stand in the presence of the deity and to look upon the image so as to see and be seen by the deity and to gain the blessings. There are thousands of Siva sthalams- pilgrimage sites - renowned for their divine images. And it is for the Darsan of these divine images as well the pilgrimage places themselves - which are believed to be the natural places where Gods have dwelled - the pilgrimage is made.

  • Ayurveda, the Traditional System of Medicine Gives Equal to Daily Regimen As Well As Seasonal Regimen
    Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine gives equal to daily regimen as well as seasonal regimen. Both are dependent. Because we change our daily regimen according to seasons. Humans are blessed with a beautiful environment to live in. The nature of the environment changes with the seasons. There are six seasons. Summer, rainy, spring, autumn, early winter and late winter. One season accompanies the other in the form of a cycle. In our life’s journey, we pass through childhood, middle age, old age which is not under our control. Similarly we have to face all season irrespective of what your age is or where you live in. Seasons are a part of our life. Ayurveda has described each season with its features and appropriate regimen in ritucharya chapter. Ritu means season and charya means regimen. From this we come to know that regimen in each season is different from the other. Another thing is that seasons is not unique in all parts of the world. The basic concepts in Ayurveda is related to tridoshas. Vata, pitta and kapha are the tridoshas. Human body can’t exist without these basic principles. These doshas are subjected to variation according to ages, day and night, food, lifestyle, seasons etc. Doshas predominate in a particular season depends upon the characteristic feature of that season. Each season has its own features. Seasons are formed as a result of earth’s position with respect to sun. Depending on this, there are two major divisions: uttarayana and dakshinayana. In case of uttarayana, sun is predominant. Strength of the person decreases during this season.

It is an interdisciplinary work to establish relationship between Indian Advait Philosophy and International Relations Theory. When I was writing my doctoral thesis, I was reading some works of Maharishi Ved Vyas and commentaries based on his work in Advait philosophy. Whatever, I read there, I felt it is something that has not been worked on in International Relations and there is a scope to write in interdisciplinary theory in International Relations. Above all, after reading the theories of International Relations I realized that I cannot relate my thoughts and actions with any of the existing perspectives and the extremes observed everywhere around. So it led me to write about this parity vision. I see its relevance in contemporary times as some of the actions and events that occur in the world can be viewed and analyzed with parity vision.

    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.
