 |  |  | Indian Dance: Sravana, a Month Devoted to
ShivaSravana, a Month Devoted to Shiva
The devout spend the entire month of Sravana in
austerities and worship of Shiva, culminating in the Sravana Purnima on Raksha
Bandhan day. Shiva is beyond the gunas, as His trident represents all three,
sattva, rajas and tamas. The elephant skin attire indicates that he is beyond
pride; the tiger skin symbolises his going beyond lust, and the snake around
his neck represents wisdom and eternity.

least as far back as 12,OOO B.C. a lthough it is generally accepted tat the
Vedas appear at different times of the cosmic creation forte benefit of human
society. They are considered to be the revelations of the Divine nature, and
its relationship within and without us. "Mantra" is the term used to
mean Divine sound vibration or the word of God. There are teachings of mantras
(hymns), teachings of ritual, theology, and philosophy at the root of all the
vedic sciences. The point of all is the knowledge of the soul called "atma
vidya", being our real "self" and separate and distinct from the
material body , and the material world which surrounds us.

 |  |  | Indian Dance: Symbiotic Mysticism In Devotional
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.

Festivals - The Holi
FestivalHoli:
IN
DAYS of yore, there were communities of cannibals in India. They caused much
havoc. They threatened the lives of many innocent people. One of them was
Holika or Putana. She took immense delight in devouring children. Sri Krishna
destroyed her and thus saved the little children. Even today, the effigy or
figure of Holika is burnt in the fire. In South India, the clay figure of Cupid
is burnt. This is the origin of the great festival of Holi.
From Hindu Fasts & Festivals by Sri Swami Sivananda.

 |  |  | Indian Dance: A message to the world from the Mayan Elders about the coming Venus Transit A message about the forthcoming Venus Transit from the Mayan Elders thru Carlos Barrios, a Mayan Ajq'ij that has been given the mission by his elders to begin sharing the prophecies and teachings of the Mayan peoples with the rest of the world.
“Now that we are at the gates of a New Path of Venus over the Face of the Sun
on June 7-8 2004, the least we can do is expecting a new change in the outcome
of humanity. Death is knocking at our doors. The drums of war can be heard. Intransigence, the destruction of our Mother Earth, pollution, new diseases, the resurging of old plagues, global warming, the fear of world conflict, intolerance and fundamentalism in any of its manifestations, negligence, apathy, the confusion or worst still the extreme estrangement of drug abuse. --- While reason and logic tell us that we have to stop all this madness, we are living in the age of prophecies, and the responsibility of balancing things is ours. There
is no more time to play; it is know time to act. --- The great guardian brings the energy of a new beginning, the beginning of a new era.”
It sounds like a pessimistic prophecy but can be compared to what the Indian Avatar Sri Kalkis view. Kalki says that the Venus Transit of June 2004 is the start of the Golden Age, but he is also saying:
“Humanity is entering the most crucial phase of its existence. The coming decade shall witness the most unprecedented and undreamt of changes in the course of its long evolution. There is nothing much humanity could do about it, other than to understand the changes occurring around it and to flow with the changes that are overpowering it. Towards the end, humanity would enter a new age, The Golden Age. The transition will be a painful process. Only those whose relationships are in order would make it easily.”
