Please do for environment.....

2009-12-18T12:54:00.000+05:30

Hi All,

I would like to focus on the Drastically changes in the environment. We are not worring now but it will affect too much on our coming generation. I remembered when i was child i was waiting for winter season, rainy season and many things but now nothing is fixed. Any time raining, full hot and for nameless winter season. Any time we thought why it's happening.......NO.
Ask this question to your self, you will get answer.

Now a days trees are less and vehicles has been increased, many new factories, machinery plants has come. Every where full pollution is there. We are unable to take fresh breathe. But even we are not thinking for this. We are thinking that i should not get late for office, i will complete my work on time. On weekend i will watch a new movie or i will service my bike or car.....and so on works we have.

If we will not take any initative this time then we have to ready for result.

History of Durga Puja

2009-09-26T15:47:00.000+05:30

History of Durga Puja:

We all celebrate Durga puja but hardly anyone knows the history or origin behind the celebration. As in case of most of the Indian festivals we have to refer to Hindu mythology to trace out the origin. The festival of Durga puja comes with its own retinue of mythological stories. There are various legends associated with its origin but the most important and prevalent among them is the legend of Lord Rama (the incarnation of Lord Vishnu). When lord Rama was fighting a battle with Ravana (the demon king) to rescue his wife Sita whom Ravana abducted and held as hostage in Lanka, his kingdom. That time a fierce battle ensued. In that battle Ravana could not be defeated. So Lord Ram decided to seek the blessings of Shakti (Goddess Durga) in order to defeat the demon. For that puja, which lord Ram was performing 108 blue lotus were needed for the worship of Goddess Durga but Rama could manage only 107. But without that one lotus his puja would be incomplete so he was on the verge of laying one of his eyes that was lotus-shaped and blue in color at the Goddess's feet when Goddess Durga appeared and satisfied with his devotion, granted her blessing and eventually he won the battle against Ravana. The time he worshipped was Spring season so from that time onwards Durga puja is celebrated.

History of Dussehra

2009-09-26T15:37:00.000+05:30

History of Dussehra:

Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, "Dashain" in Nepali, is a festival celebrated across Nepal and India. It is celebrated on the tenth day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Ashwayuja or Ashwina, and is the grand culmination of the 10-day annual festival of Dasara or Navaratri. The legend underlying the celebration, as also its mode of conduct, vary vastly by region; however, all festivities celebrate the victory of the forces of Good over Evil. It is also considered to be an auspicious day to begin new things in life. It is the largest festival of Nepal and celebrated by Hindu and non-Hindu as well.

The Adoption of Hindi Divinities in Japan

2009-09-18T09:03:00.000+05:30

The Adoption of uDivinities in Japan

Buddhism introduced many Hindu Gods and Goddesses to the Japanese. The rulers were the first to be attracted to them. Historical records show that they earnestly believed in the miracles of these divinities promised in the sutras. Many miracle stories started appearing in popular literature as the divinities percolated down to the masses. The resulting naturalisation process in the case of some divinities went to the extent that they became an integral part of the native Shinto pantheon. Their popularity remains unabated even today. The Tantric Buddhist sects also played a vital role in propagating the divinities. They regularly worshipped the divinities in their temples where people thronged in large numbers. Many steps in these ceremonies, for instance, the homa ritual, are very familiar to the present-day Hindus. The monks have also produced a considerable volume of religious literature related to these divinities. Descriptions of many divinities show that they have not changed substantially over centuries. A study of these writings also shows that a large volume of Hindu myths and legends related to these deities were transmitted to Japan. These writings are also a testimony to the way the ancestors of the present-day Hindus thought about these deities, say, around the eighth or ninth century of the Christian era.

The Vedic Period (1500–500 BCE)

2009-09-18T08:56:00.000+05:30

Information about the Vedic religion apparently introduced by the Aryans is gleaned largely from the Vedas. Focus was on yajna, ritualistic performance of sacrifice, and on joining the ancestors in heaven.The pre-eminent doctrine was Purva Mimamsa, largely non-theistic and with some strands trying to prove that God is non-existent, or at least redundant. Uttara Mimamsa (Vedanta) emerged towards the latter part of the period with the compilation of the Upanishads. Scholars say that there was no clearly enunciated doctrine of reincarnation at this time. The predominant deities, different from those in later Hinduism, represented the forces of nature and were headed by Indra, god of rain. The central story of his killing the giant, Vrita, comes down in numerous versions up to the present. The migrating Aryans are accredited with introducing Sanskrit, and with the system of varnashrama-dharma, though perhaps in a relatively simple form.
