Tonight I went to my last visit. I went to Hindu Temple, called the Vedic Cultural Society. As soon as you walk into the Temple you must take off your shoes, then go to the main room. There is a stage to your right with all of the Gods in booths. Tonight was special because the Hindu 's we 're honoring the Puja.The Puja is an act of worshiping a god with prayers, songs and rituals. The main part of the Puja for the Hindu people is to make a spiritual connection with the divine. I went with…

When facing the call, God will allow people to enter into your life to help kill certain spirits that are within. He has to prune and purge us in order to elevate. Relationships are a perfect example of how God uses people to kill the negative behavioral traits we carry. I was in a relationship and the person tried, well he didn’t try he did, tear my self-esteem down even more than what it was. He made me feel like less than a woman to the point where I began to hide and withdraw from society. I…

The fragrance emitted by the lilies filled the air. The night blooming jasmine on the arbour opened their buds slowly releasing their scent. The cuckoo birds returned to their perch on the arbour. The setting sun cast a warm, orange glow across the village. The scene would have transported anyone to seventh heaven; especially, a poet or a painter. Lamps were turned on at all the homes. Radha watched the evening scene through a window in her home. She didn 't feel joy. She felt as if the setting…

India has a glorious history of drama from the ancient times. Drama begins its journey in India with the Sanskrit plays. Indian drama is characterized with the rituals, folks, cultural heritage etc. But the major concern of contemporary Indian drama is the representation of socio-political scenario, marginalization, gender discrimination, oppression, poverty and hunger.

a linga which represents his fertility, the linga is conjoined with a yoni, and this representation of him is found in every Shiva temple (Danielou, 1984). But when he is not represented as a linga, Shiva is portrayed as a powerful being of human manifestation. In comparison, even though Shiva is most known for his phallic image, other phallic representations are present at other temples around the world, including some that pay homage to Dionysus. In the Greek representation, the phallus is…

What if you were stuck in your house and never knew how the world communication took place? What if you lost all your socialization skills and had to start from scratch by watching movies? These questions describe a New York City family that did exactly just that. Angulo family had raised their children just in the confinements of their apartment in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The Angulo’s head of the family, their father Oscar, had beliefs in a religion called Hare Kristna that made him…

The caste system used by Hindus of India is the oldest social structure in the world. The first mention of the system is in the Sanskrit text Manusmriti (also known as the Laws of Manu), which dates 1000 years before the birth of Christ, which "acknowledges and justifies the caste system as the basis of order and regularity of society"(BBC, 2017). The system divides Hindus into hierarchical groupings based upon their karma (work) and dharma (duty). These groupings are called castes. There are…

This piece is titled Vishnu as Varaha, The Cosmic Boar. It tells the story of the the Hindu god, Vishnu and how he took the form of a boar to rescue the world from a demon who imprisoned the earth beneath the cosmic ocean. This piece depicts Vishnu as having an entirely human body with a boar’s head, not unlike the shape of a minotaur. Though the color and texture of this sculpture would have me to believe it has nothing to do with an ocean. This piece is entirely a sand like color and has a…
