Wast @ India

Indian's became exposed to Western ideas for the first time as they studied in missionary schools to serve as clerks in the East India Company, the world's first corporation. Sanatan had to be suddenly defended against Western ideas, using western language & Western templates. Indian were ill- equipped to do so. So the Europeans started articulating it themselves on their terms for their benefit, judging it with their way of life. After the eighteenth century fascination with all things Indian, Orientalists spent the nineteenth century disparaging the new colony. Every time a local tried to explain the best of their faith, the Western pointed to the worst of Indian society: caste, the burning of widows, and idol worship. Indians became increasingly defensive & apologetic, as they had to constantly match Indian ways to Western benchmarks. Attempt were even made to redefine Hinduism and Christian terms, a Hindu Reformation, complete with an assembly hall where priests did...

Hindu History

The history of Hinduism spreads over 5,000 years and can be seen in eight phases that telescope into each other. The first is the Indus phase , then come the Vedic phase, the Upanishadic phase, the Buddhist phase, the Puranic phase, the Orientalist phase, and finally the Modern phase. The Indu- Saraswati civilization reveal ancient iconography that is considered sacred in Hinduism even today. But much of the knowledge of that period remains speculative. The subsequent three phasrs constitute Vedic Hinduism, when there were no temples & the idea of God was rather abstract. The final four phases constitute Puranic Hinduism, characterized by the rise temples and beliefs in personal God, either Shiva, Vishnu's avatars or the Goddess, we can go so far as to call Vedic Hinduism pre- Gita Hinduism & Puranic Hinduism post- Gita, to indicate the pivotal role of The Gita of Hindu history. The Vedic phase began 4,000 years ago, The Upanishads phase 3,000 ago, The Buddhist phase 2,...

when your sibling dies, you lose your past, your present and your future.

Surviving the Loss of a Sibling One of the most misunderstood and neglected areas of bereavement is sibling grief. Society tends to overlook sibling grief and concentrate more on the grief of a parent or child. Personnel policies at work may offer more funeral leave for a parent than a sibling. Many books, brochures or articles are available about grief but most of the literature fails to touch on the unique grief adults feel when one of their siblings dies. Indeed, most of the literature dealing with sibling death is designed for children. As with any grief, sibling grief is unique – it is influenced by the emotional bond and attachment level you had with your sibling. For younger siblings, there was never a time in their life when their older sibling did not exist. Older siblings may not remember the time before their younger sibling became a part of their life. For many, siblings are the first people with whom we socialize on an equal basis. We grow around each other...
