| ARTICLES RELATED TO Ushas | | | | | |  Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Deva Hinduism - Vedic religionThe Vedas, the earliest comprehensive literature of the Indo-European people, contain mantras for pleasing the devas to obtain blessings. The Rig Veda, the earliest of the four, enumerates 33 devas, which in later Hinduism became exaggerated to 330 million, likely because the same Sanskrit word means "ten million" and "class, group", i.e. "33 types of divine manifestations".
Some devas represent the forces of nature and some represent moral values. The main deva addressed in the Rig Veda is Indra. Agni (fire) and Soma represent modes ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Nyx - Cults of Night In Greece, Night is only rarely the recipient of cult. According to Pausanias, she had an oracle on the acropolis at Megara (Paus. 1.40.1).
More often, Nyx lurks in the background of other cults. Thus there was a statue called Night in the temple of Artemis at Ephesus. The Spartans had a cult of Sleep and Death, conceived of as twins (Paus. 3.18.1) - no doubt with Night as their mother. Cult titles composed of compounds of nyx- are attested for several gods, most notably Dionysus Nyktelios "nocturnal" (Paus. 1.40.6) and Aphrodite Philopannyx "who lo ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Ishmael ben Elisha - Life Ishmael was a descendant of a wealthy priestly family in Upper Galilee, and presumably the grandson of the high priest of the same name. As a youth, he was carried away by the Romans, but Joshua ben Hananiah, succeeding in purchasing his liberty, restored him to Palestine, where he rapidly developed him into an accomplished scholar. Of his teachers, only Neḥunya ben ha-Ḳanah is expressly mentioned (Sheb. 26a), but he doubtless learned much from his benefactor, between whom and himself grew up a close friendship; Joshua called him ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Vedic mythology - Background The Vedic mythology is best recorded in the four Vedas, also called the Vedam, which are part of the Hindu Shruti. In Sanskrit the word means Knowledge or Truth, and is cognate with the word "wisdom" in English (as well as "vision" through Latin).
Hindus believe that the Vedas existed since time immemorial as vibrations in space, some portions of which are believed to have been perceived by seers and sages, and transmitted accordingly through an oral tradition. Some believe that the Vedas were transmitted orally f ...

| | | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Tilaka - A sign of God The tilak on Hindu religious men affirms their devotion and is a symbol of the One they believe as God. It may be made with sandal paste, ashes or another 'cooling' (per Ayurveda) substance. Saivites typically use ashes, Vaishnavites apply clay (preferably from holy rivers) or sandal paste, and Shaktas use kumkuma, or powdered red turmeric.
In Nepal, it is called a "tika," and is a mixture of abir, a ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Ishmael ben Elisha - Halakhic exegesis Ishmael gradually developed a system of halakhic exegesis which, while running parallel with that of Rabbi Akiva, is admitted to be the more logical. Indeed, he established the principles of the logical method by which laws may be deduced from laws and important decisions founded on the plain phraseology of the Scriptures. Like Akiva, he opened up a wide field for halakhic induction, but, unlike Akiva, he required more than a mere jot or a letter as a basi ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Vedic civilization - Vedic Religion Main article: Vedic religion.
Texts considered to date to the Vedic period are mainly the four Vedas, but the Brahmanas, and some of the older Upanishads are also considered Vedic. The Vedas record the liturgy connected with the rituals and sacrifices performed by the purohitas.
The rishis, the composers of the hymns of the Rigveda, were considered divinely inspired seers (or rather "hearers", shrauta means "what is heard").
The mode of worship was performance of sacrifices and chanting of verses (see Vedic chant). The priests helped the common man in performing rituals. People ...

Gandhi and the Indian National Congress launched the Quit India movement in 1942. Prominent leaders, including Gandhi, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jawaharlal Nehru and Maulana Azad, were jailed. The "secondary cadre" stepped-up to the challenge to continue the struggle and to keep the flame for swaraj burning within the people's hearts. Leaders who were still free carried out their operations from underground. Lohia printed and distributed many posters, pamphlets and bulleti ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Vahana - Symbolism In iconography, the vahana is both the symbol and the emblem of the deity that it carries. Nandi the bull, vahana of Shiva, represents strength and virility. Parvani the peacock, vahana of Skanda, represents splendour and majesty. The swan, mount of Saraswati, represents grace and beauty.
As the assistant of a deity, the vahana serves the function of doubling his or her powers. Durga the warrior could not have destroyed the demon Mahishasura without the aid of her mount, Manashthala the lion. Lakshmi, goddess of fortune, dispenses bot ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Tilaka - Worn by women Bindi Tilaka has been worn by Hindu women for many millennia for different reasons as a bindi or dot between the eyebrows or on the center of the forehead. This practice is associated with Yoga and Ayurvedic principles. Per yogic belief, the psychic energy forces of the nadis (subtle nerves), Ida and Pingala, meet at the middle of the forehead and activate the centre of 'will', clearing the way for enlightenment. This place is also the seat of the the soul (atman) or the Self, the location of the spiritual third eye, and the ajna chakra. The tilak ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Ishmael ben Elisha - Disposition Ishmael's teachings were calculated to promote peace and goodwill among all. "Be indulgent with the hoary head;" he would say, "and be kind to the black-haired [the young]; and meet every man with a friendly mien" (Ab. iii. 12).
What he taught he practised. Even toward strangers, he acted considerately. When a heathen greeted him, he answered kindly, "Thy reward has been predicted"; when another abused him, he repeated cooly, "Thy reward has been predicted." This apparent inconsistency, he explained to his puzzled disciples by ...

| | | | | Ushas: Encyclopedia II - Vahana - Origins The vahana of a deity can vary according to the source, the time, and the place. In popular tradition, the origin of each vahana is told in thousands of different ways.
While Ganesh was still a child, a giant mouse began to terrorize all his friends. Ganesh trapped him with his lasso and made him his mount. Mushika was originally a gandharva, or celestial musician. After absentmindedly walking over the feet of rishi Vamadeva, he was cursed and transformed into a mouse. However, after the sage had calmed down, he promised him that one day, the gods themselves would bow down before him. This came to pa ...
