PoemsIslam and Hinduism: Symbiotic
Mysticism In Devotional Poems
Few have heard of the mystic poems
Brahma Prakash or Dasa Avatar by the mediaeval Muslim saint Pir Shams. Both are
famous ginans of South Asia's Ismaili community, sometimes also known as Khojas
or Aga Khanis in popular parlance.
Ginans are hymn-like poems of
spiritual import. They are revered by the faithful in deep veneration as
repositories of wisdom and spiritual knowledge, and as transmitting the
essential teachings of the Holy Qur'an in the vernacular. Composed in Sindhi,
Gujarati, Hindustani and Punjabi among other subcontinental languages, the
oldest are ascribed to the pirs or saints who first preached Ismaili Islam
in India nearly 1,000 years ago.

The Buddha taught that life was
dissatisfactory because of craving, but that this condition was curable by
following the eightfold path. This teaching is called the four noble truths:
1. Dukkha: All worldly life is unsatisfactory, disjointed, containing
suffering.
2. Samudaya: There is a cause of suffering, which is attachment or desire
(tanha) rooted in ignorance.
3. Nirodha: There is an end of suffering, which is Nirvana.
4. Marga: There is a path that leads out of suffering, known as the Noble
Eightfold Path.

|  |  |  | Belief Dictionary: Mystical Dimension Of
Jewish ThoughtKabbala: Mystical Dimension Of
Jewish Thought
The word Kabbala originally meant
Ôreception' and related to the oral Jewish tradition handed down by Rabbis from
generation to generation. The mainspring of the Kabbala is a deep rooted belief
in a perpetual inter-relationship between God as the infinite power and man in
the physical world as we know it.
Man can get close to God by subduing his own negative
inclinations and bring about spiritual regeneration of mankind, through
prayers, meditation and interpretation of the divine mysteries hidden in the
Torah. Kabbalists emphasise the importance of mystical formulas in the
recitation of prayers.

Celebration of MAY DAY
There
are four great festivals of the Pagan Celtic year and the modern Witch's
calendar as well. The two greatest of these are Halloween (the beginning of
winter) and May Day (the beginning of summer). Being opposite each other on the
wheel of the year, they separate the year into halves. Halloween (also called
Samhain) is the Celtic New Year and is generally considered the more important
of the two, though May Day runs a close second. Indeed, in some areas --
notably Wales -- it is considered the great holiday.

Celtic
Marriage
This
article is not just for those interested in the traditions of Celtic Marriage,
it is also a look into the complex body of law that governed the ancient Celts.
For
the ancient Celts, marriage was a very different thing than what we conceive of
as "marriage" today. For them, marriage or handfasting as some know
it was a form of contract that had several purposes. These included the
protection of property rights, the care of progeny (children), and the rights
of the individuals involved in the relationships themselves.
