Tigers out in Indiah” is an interesting article that discusses the influence of Indian culture on music, particularly the Beatles music. As we learned, George Harrison was the Beatle most influenced by the Indian heritage, and he was the band member to incorporate the sitar into Beatle songs. The article discusses simple things like George going to a little convenience shop to purchase a cheap sitar, just to get accustom to the Indian instrument. Although the main focus was the Beatles, the…

obscure. Madosini is from South Africa she sings “Yaka Yaka.” The song opens with someone playing an uhadi or the mhrubhe. They are a one string bowed instrument. A percussive instrument that sounds like a gourd is also played. There is an instrument that sounds like a metal plate being struck. When the singing starts, it is rhythmic. The emotion is somewhere between sadness and longing. I don’t know what the song is about. The background singers add to the feeling of longing in the music.…

who was most drawn to the spirituality of the people of India. In 1965, Harrison was first introduced and interested in Indian music when The Beatles were filming their second movie, “Help!” During the filming process, which took place in India, Harrison became interested in the sitar which led to meeting a famous Indian musician, Ravi Shankar. With the help of Shankar, Harrison was led to his infatuation w i t h I n d i a n c u l t u r e a n d H i n d u i s m . T h e B e a t l e s m e m b e r h…

The first video Britain's Wicca Man: Modern Pagan Witchcraft Documentary was very interesting. The documentary's main focus is the history of the Wiccan religion and the man behind it all. In 1939 Gerald Gardner was initiated into a coven of witches. Throughout his life he studied the tribal culture of the places where he traveled to but what most intrigued him was tribal ritual magic. Once he was back home, he began taking part in rituals. They even went as far as casting a spell to prevent…

I love how Copan worded this. I think this quote would have given me comfort in the time of being cornered of my friend’s apartment. Although there are so many things I think Zacharias could have shared about this topic that he didn’t, I think he is a great man and a creditable source. If I could redo that one night, I would’ve said so much more. Even after reading this chapter, I still don’t feel inclined to now speak up if I encounter that situation again, because I have no idea what I would…

Zacharias and Johnson explain how to distinguish Jesus from the other claims of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and atheism. With this, they aim to help readers understand the truths and claims of Jesus and His role in our lives and in our world of multiple gods. Ravi Zacharias and Kevin Johnson’s Jesus Among Other Gods explores many questions both believers and nonbelievers have when it comes to the Christian…

problem working with and offering therapy to Christians. I am even open to using Scripture as a basis to help people find healing. However, my overarching goal is to help families and teenagers in general. I want to be able to welcome anyone into my office for help and healing. Additionally, I agree with Dr. Sharon Smith’s observation in regards to understanding our worldview. She notes: as therapists, we must seek to understand our own worldview aim we may make room for others. In my opinion,…

But how can that be? Then morality is a product of one’s own mind. Harris admits that he cannot articulate his innate sense of the difference between right and wrong. That intuition toward morality could ever began from sheer matter and chemistry is totally illogical and defies reason. Zacharias states that when one claims that there is evil, then one can assume there is good. So therefore if one believes that there is good, then one must assume that there is a moral law by which one can…

it seems that many people in today’s culture, even “professing believers”, are putting their personal desires and conveniences above God’s Word. Furthermore, not only have my thoughts about the depravity of man and the sinfulness of our society been stirred, but also the exclusivity of the Christian faith being the one true faith. Ravi explained how Christianity is not the only exclusive faith but is the only one that possesses correspondence and coherence when referring to the origin,…
