pWotD Episode 2739: Diwali Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 354,333 views on Thursday, 31 October 2024 our article of the day is Diwali.Diwali (English: ), also called Deepavali (IAST: Dīpāvalī), is the Hindu festival of lights, with variations celebrated in other Indian religions such as Jainism and Sikhism. It symbolises the spiritual victory of Dharma over Adharma, light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartika—between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.Diwali is connected to various religious events, deities and personalities, such as being the day Rama returned to his kingdom in Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating the demon king Ravana. It is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. Other regional traditions connect the holiday to Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman.Primarily a Hindu festival, variations of Diwali are also celebrated by adherents of other faiths. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira. The Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal prison. Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Hindus of Eastern India and Bangladesh generally celebrate Diwali by worshipping the goddess Kali.During the festival, the celebrants illuminate their homes, temples and workspaces with diyas (oil lamps), candles and lanterns. Hindus, in particular, have a ritual oil bath at dawn on each day of the festival. Diwali is also marked with fireworks as well as the decoration of floors with rangoli designs and other parts of the house with jhalars. Food is a major focus with families partaking in feasts and sharing mithai. The festival is an annual homecoming and bonding period not only for families, but also for communities and associations, particularly those in urban areas, which will organise activities, events, and gatherings. Many towns organise community parades and fairs with parades or music and dance performances in parks. Some Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs will send Diwali greeting cards to family near and far during the festive season, occasionally with boxes of Indian confectionery. Another aspect of the festival is remembering the ancestors.Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi Puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and in some US states.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:49 UTC on Friday, 1 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Diwali on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.
Dan och Cornelia kan inte få nog av att analysera existensen hos historiska personer. Efter att de givit utrymme till Jesus, Buddha och Mahavira gör sig scenen nu redo för Oden att granskas. Kan det ha varit så att Oden faktiskt funnits på riktigt eller var det bara önsketänkande från Snorre Sturlasson? Dan och Cornelia stiftar även bekantskap med Thor Heyerdahl och Saxo Grammaticus som i sin tur har sitt att säga om avsnittets huvudfråga. Hur bra är den poetiska eddan som källa? Uppfann Heliga Birgitta tomten? Vi tar även upp asatro och forn sed.

Dan och Cornelia återvänder till 500-talet före vår tideräkning i Indien och ännu en sramana-asket; Mahavira, killen som förmodligen grundade en religion som har 5 miljoner anhängare än idag. Mahavira själv påstår att religionen grundades innan Big Bang och att en annan kille som var 1500 meter lång var den förste av de 24 viktiga killarna i den nuvarande eran. Kung Bimbisara av Maghada dyker upp igen och den här gången lyssnar han på Mahavira istället för Buddha. Cornelia är skeptisk till exakt allt. Vi tar också upp den viktiga schismen i jainismen. Frågan är om man verkligen kan ha kläder på sig utan att tycka om dem för mycket. Vad tycker du om dina kläder?Varning för spoilers för TV-serien Game of Thrones.

Traditionally, Sant Mat and the yoga philosophy have advocated the lacto-vegetarian diet: abstinence from meat, fish, fowl, and eggs, but allowed dairy. Vegan means complete abstinence from all animal products and strictly adhering to a plant-based diet: no dairy, eggs, or meat of any kind, or products made from animals. Based on the current cruel practices of the dairy industry in India and around the world that violate the principle of ahimsa or non-violence, plus all the scores of medical studies showing that dairy consumption adversely affects our health and well-being, I believe if they were here today, the classic Saints such as Mahavira, Guru Kabir, Guru Nanak, Tukarama, Ravidas, Tulsi Das, Namdev, Dariya Sahib, etc... would not only be advocating a vegetarian diet, but a vegan diet. These days, many are making this transition to vegan, including a growing percentage of those following Sant Mat. This is the compassionate direction that the vegetarian movement is headed in. (Vegetarianism is going vegan!) In the East as well as in the West, the Gnostics and other advanced mystics: those serious practitioners of soul travel, inner Light and Sound meditation, have universally adhered to a plant-based diet. It's hard to reach more subtle states of tranquility in meditation on an animal flesh diet based on the suffering of other beings. "A man of spiritual intensity does not eat corpses." (George Bernard Shaw) Today a satsang edition of Spiritual Awakening Radio about the spiritual and ethical reasons for going veg, or better still: vegan. There are readings from Pythagoras, Kabir, Swami Sant Sevi Ji Maharaj, Darshan Singh, Kirpal Singh, Sawan Singh, Diet and Spirituality, by Dona Kelley (from Lotus Leaves), and... a document called, "My Visit to a Dairy Farm -- The Reality of Dairy Cruelty -- the Final Destination of Dairy Cows is the Slaughterhouse", published by Pravin K. Shah of the Jaina Education Committee of Jainism (the Vegan Jain movement.)

He alone had to produce a great people, elect, holy and chosen, lead them, feed them, bring them into the place of rest and holiness, make them holy for God, make them the temple of God, reconcile them to God, save them from God's anger, redeem them from the bondage of sin which visibly reigns in man, give laws to his people, write these laws in their hearts, offer himself to God for them, sacrifice himself for them, be a spotless sacrifice, and himself the sacrificer, having himself to offer up his body and blood, and yet offer up bread and wine to God (608/766).

An important Public figure of an ancient religion where some sects believe in the total detachment of worldly possessions & relationships to the extreme extent that wearing clothes & emotional attachment is also a form of worldly possessions. The last Supreme teacher of the Jain Religion; Mahavira
Sutras en el Budismo En el budismo, los sutras, también llamados suttas, son escrituras canónicas, muchas de las cuales se consideran registros de las enseñanzas orales de Gautama Buda. No son aforismos, pero son bastante detallados, a veces con repetición. Esto puede reflejar, un cambio en la raíz filológica del término Sutra. Que parece referirse al termino “sukta”, que significa bien hablado, en lugar de sutra que significa, como ya sabemos hilo. Sutras en el Jainismo En el jainismo, los sutras, también conocidos como “suyas”, son sermones canónicos de Mahavira contenidos en los Jain Agamas, así como en algunos textos normativos posteriores o pos canónicos. Jain Agamas, son las obras literarias o los textos religiosos del jainismo. Hay un número de 46 Jain Agamas. Jain Agamas, son revelaciones de varios Tirt hankaras. Mahavira, fue el 24 avo Thirt hankaraha en el jainismo. Se dice que su predecesor, el Thirt hankaraha Parshavantha, quien vivió 250 años antes que Mahavira. En el jainismo, los tirt hankaras son seres que alcanzaron la trascendencia y liberación denominada: “moksha”. Son, por ello, maestros que enseñaron el camino jainista. Enterémonos de la historia …

Almost 200 years after being outlawed, the practice of Sati still looms large over every academic discourse about Hindu philosophy and customs. It remains a potent symbol of deep-rooted patriarchy and cultural misogyny of pre-modern India. Time and again the banning of Sati has been invoked to argue that British colonialism helped bring a regressive Indian society out of the dark ages. Even for contemporary Indians, who are proud of their heritage and culture, Sati Partha poses a strange predicament. How did a civilisation so advanced in science and philosophy, that produced great thinkers through the ages such as Mahavira, Gautam Buddha, Kabir Das, Adi Shankara, and many more oddly remained comfortable with a practice so barbarous? With so many glorious periods under numerous Indian dynasties from Guptas to Vijayanagara, Mughals to Marathas, why did India need a foreign mercantilist power to ultimately put an end to this cruel and inhuman custom? It is important to address these questions as they play a key role in how we Indians see ourselves as a people. Were our ancestors really as backward and superstitious as we are told? And did India really need the enlightened Victorians to free her from its social evils?

Lord Hanuman, the Monkey God, has many names - Anjaneya, Mahavira, Bajrangbali, etc. He was a key figure in the Ramayana epic. He also appears in the Mahabharata and various Puranas. Some texts claim that he is an incarnation of Shiva. He was born to Anjana and Kesari. But he is also described as the son of Vayu, the Wind God, who had a role in his birth. Hanuman is known for his courage, strength, agility, and learning. He symbolizes devotion due to his great devotion to Rama. Hanumath Mangalashtakam is an octet that is recited at the end of Hanuman Pooja during Arati. It enumerates Hanuman's traits. This Mantra is chanted to cure diseases and solve all problems in life.

New Books in South Asian Studies, Episode 1: Jainism evokes images of monks wearing face masks to protect insects and micro-organisms from being inhaled. Or of Jains sweeping the ground in front of them to ensure that living creatures are not inadvertently crushed: a practice of non-violence so radical as to defy easy comprehension. Yet for all its apparent exoticism, Jainism is still little understood in the West. What is this mysterious philosophy which originated in the 6th century BCE, whose absolute requirement is vegetarianism, and which now commands a following of four million adherents both in its native India and diaspora communities across the globe? In Jainism: An Introduction (I. B. Tauris, 2009), Long makes an ancient tradition fully intelligible to the modern reader. Plunging back more than two and a half millennia, to the plains of northern India and the life of a prince who - much like the Buddha - gave up a life of luxury to pursue enlightenment, Long traces the history of the Jain community from founding sage Mahavira to the present day. He explores asceticism, worship, the life of the Jain layperson, relations between Jainism and other Indic traditions, the Jain philosophy of relativity, and the implications of Jain ideals for the contemporary world. The book presents Jainism in a way that is authentic and engaging to specialists and non-specialists alike. Dr. Pankaj Jain is a Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at FLAME University, where he is heading the Indic Studies Initiative in the FLAME School of Liberal Education.

¿Qué es la Regla de oro?. Es una ley única en su género, porqué “parece expresar una intuición fulminante y al mismo tiempo accesible en cada conocimiento y en cada conciencia humana” , en cuanto que está presente en todas las principales corrientes religiosas y sapienciales de las distintas culturas del mundo. Por esto se puede definir como la síntesis de códigos éticos universales. Baha'ì: “Bendito el que prefiere a su hermano antes que a sí mismo” (Tablas dei Bahà'u'llàh 7 – XIX siglo). Budismo: "No trates a los demás de manera que a ti mismo te parezca dañino" (Il Budda, Udana-Varga 5.18 – VI siglo a.C.). Confucianismo: "Es el máximo de benevolencia amable el no hacerles a los demás lo que no quisieras que ellos hicieran contigo" (Confucio, Analects 15.23 – V siglo a.C.). Cristianesimo: "Amarás a tu prójimo como a ti mismo". De estos dos mandamientos depende toda la Ley y los Profetas "" (Evangelio de Mateo 22, 36-40 – I siglo).

Buddha, Jesus, Mahavira, Bodhidharma, Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff, Shivananda, Satyananda, Ramana, Sadhguru, Tolle...all these dead and alive masters, what are they trying to tell you? What is that that they are talking about in all their lifetimes of work? The Truth. And the Truth cannot be told. That is also certain. It is the second defect out of 8, just as Ashtavakra has 8 defects in his body. In this meditation session, we meditate upon knowing, which is beyond knowledge. Listen and meditate along, Dhyanse.

#Dharma And #EnvironmentalEthics: From The #Buddha And #Mahavira To #Gandhi: A Webinar by Professor Pankaj Jain, Ph.D. for a #SriLankan University Professors, Students, and General Public --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pankaj-jain/support
Some years before the Buddha lived, another renunciant teacher rose to prominence in ancient India. Known as Mahavira, “the great hero,” he practiced the most difficult austerities. Preaching non-violence, he aimed to transcend his body and escape rebirth. When he finally reached liberation, he became known as the Jina—the victor. His followers, the Jains, worshipped Mahavira as the last in a series of enlightened teachers. Although its numbers are relatively small, Jainism remains a vibrant faith in India up to the present day—making it one of the oldest surviving religions in South Asia. On this episode, Finnian speaks with Ellen Gough, assistant professor in the Department of Religion at Emory University, about her work on Jain mantras and rituals. These are features that most scholarship on Jainism has neglected—or even considered alien to the tradition's ascetic roots. But Ellen's research puts Jainism in a new light, showing the importance of mantras, mandalas, healing, and astrology.

Today I interview Jaipat Singh Jain of Siddhachalam in New Jersey. Jainism is often called the big sister of Buddhism because of their similar origin stories and values, with Jainism predating Buddhism by quite a few years. We will learn more about what Jains believe, the story of Mahavira (the founder of Jainism), who the tirthankaras are, and how Jains use prayer in their faith. Jainism is also known for its value of ahimsa, or nonviolence, which inspired famous activists such as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. We will explore how it influenced so many and ways we can practice it in our everyday life.

Buddha - O Grande Meditador Budha é o maior difusor da Meditação. Budha nasceu num ambiente que fervilhava ideias de autodesenvolvimento. Suas ideias têm a mesma origem do Yoga e do Jainismo de Mahavira. A histórias de Budha é muito interessante: um príncipe que viveu nababescamente até os 29 anos, sentindo a vida carente de significado fugiu de casa e tornou-se um asceta dos 29 aos 41 anos, quando percebeu que o caminho do meio era a resposta para todas as coisas e assumiu uma vida entre o príncipe e o mendigo compartilhando as conclusões destes 12 anos de meditação e criando o que viria a ser a terceira maior religião do mundo. O budismo nasceu na Índia, mas hoje já não é relevante no país, mas é a religião principal no Japão, Tailândia e vários outros países com praticantes em todos os lugares do mundo. Não há uma cidade grande do planeta que você vá que não tenha um centro budista, exceto em países islâmicos. Muitos termos têm o mesmo significado tanto no yoga quanto no budismo. É o caso do termo prañja que tanto no Yoga quanto no Budismo significa um conhecimento direto, além da capacidade racional. O termos ashta, número 8, também é largamente utilizado nos dois sistemas como um número importante. O budismo também é considerado um caminho de 8 passos, assim como no yoga o Yogasutra, a escritura mais importante do Yoga, é chamado. Pela expressividade da sua Obra, Budha tem nossa admiração!

Gandhi - O Guru da Independência Mahatma Gandhi é o que podemos chamar de guru moderno. Com o crescimento do papel do governo na sociedade, os ensinamentos de gurus a partir da 2ª metade do século XX (Gandhi morreu em 1948) tiveram que envolver problemas de ordem política. Gandhi conseguiu organizar seu povo para exigir a independência somente através da Não-Violência Ativa. Conseguiu a libertação pela via da paz. Por isso, foi referência para outros intelectuais como David Thoreau que pregava a desobediência civil e para outros líderes espirituais tais como Martin Luther King e Mandela. Gandhi foi um grande articulador político e suas diferentes ações fizeram a Índia unir forças para conquistar sua independência em 1947. Visitou diferentes líderes religiosos, políticos celebridades palestrou no Congresso Inglês e fez longos jejuns para interromper chacinas. Gandhi também teve o mérito de usar a sabedoria acumulada pelos ancestrais indianos e usá-la em prol da causa da independência. O que fica bem evidente na atitude dos indianos em aceitarem a estratégia de não revidar aos ataques o que foi essencial para o convencimento da opinião pública mundial que via de um lado o maior exército do mundo da sua época contra pobre indianos que aceitavam serem violentados e pediam apenas a autonomia do seu país de volta. Gandhi sabia das limitações que a população teria para lutar contra o exército britânico e difundiu a estratégia de não revidar, de fazer um protesto ativo, mas sem violência. Quando o exército vinha para o enfrentamento, montado a cavalo e fortemente armado, eles não enfrentavam, às vezes se deitavam no chão. VIDEO: filme Gandhi em que ele explica sobre os cavalos Em outras ocasiões, os manifestantes foram fuzilados sem nenhuma chance de defesa como foi o caso do massacre do [MELHORAR] Estádio no qual morreram MAIS 100 pessoas. Mesmo sendo alvejados por tiros, os indianos insistiram em nunca revidar a violência. O ensinamento da Não-Violência, AHIMSA, não foi algo descoberto por Gandhi. O ahimsa já está presente no 1º tratado de Yoga da História, o Yoga-Sutra, escrito em aproximadamente 300 a.C e dizem que não foi uma ideia original de Patanjali, o autor, pois o Ahimsa já era ensinado por jainistas como Mahavira bem antes disso. A Índia foi a última grande nação a ter independência dos ingleses em 1947 e desde então é considerada a maior democracia do mundo. Isso se deve em boa parte ao aparentemente tranquilo Gandhi. Por ter colocado seu nome para sempre na História, Mahatma tem nossa admiração. Quer entender corretamente o conceito de guru? https://yoginappacademy.com/blog/o-que-e-um-guru/

In this discourse, questions asked are about dietary restrictions and measuring progress on the spiritual path. The first question asked - If one has to walk the path of spirituality, can they eat food such as potato, onion, and garlic. Om Swami, says the most important question should be what can we eat and not focused on what we cannot eat. If someone's heart is like Mahavira, then that person cannot eat anything that is grown under the ground. Because Mahavira led such an ideal life, which is not easily possible for everyone in society to do the same. Where we choose to eat or not eat something is purely due to our sentiments of not hurting another creature. In terms of what one should eat figuratively, a person should eat his ego, a person who makes his ego his food is enlightened. One should also eat their anger. Apart from that, other emotions like jealously, attachment, etc. should not concern a person as they will keep coming up and one does not have control over them. The second question asked - In the journey of life how does one know if they are progressing spiritually or not. Om Swami says, for some people there comes a time when it seems like all their wishes are being fulfilled one after the other. On the other hand, there are many spiritual people who are so well ahead on the path of spirituality and not even one of their wishes comes true. Therefore fulfillment of a wish does not mean that a person is advanced or ahead. A person who remains equanimous during the good and the bad that happens to them is considered equivalent to a Siddha.

There are lots of people in our history who have sacrificed their lives for the better cause of humanity. It does not matter whether you call them saints, enlightened beings or soldiers of a country. It makes no difference. The truth is they looked beyond themselves. The life of Christ is an ultimate example of compassion. He could have loved his own life more than the lives of other people. He could have decided to abandon his principles, but he stuck to them. He sacrificed his life. If you look at the life of Guru Arjan Dev, when certain Brahmins approached him, he could have said that I have nothing to do with you but instead he said that he would protect anyone who would come to him for protection and seeking his refuge. He sat on a hot plate where burning sand was poured on his body. He could have got up at that moment and walked away but he did not. Lord Mahavira, an enlightened soul who was never moved by anything, nothing ever bothered him or lured him. He was once sitting calmly under the tree in his meditative posture and a man tried to shake him so that he could move but he did not. His own people even challenged the man if he could bring anger in Mahavira. The man tried everything he could but he could not move Mahavira. Listen to this discourse by Om Swami to find out more.
