Full textAbstract:
Hindu religious education is the implementation and internalization of values originating from the Vedic scriptures and other Hindu religious scriptures. One of the Hindu religious scripture that teaches about how to shape the behavior of superhuman children is the Nitisastra. The purpose of this study was to describe the application of Hindu religious educational values in the Nitisastra scripture to shape the behavior of the superhuman children. The method used is qualitative research, with data collection techniques namely observation, interviews and literature study. The results of the study show that Nitisastra contains knowledge about noble values and views of life in society that are worthy of being used as a way of life. In a family, naturally someone yearns for the birth of an ideal son according to the teachings of Hinduism, namely the son of suputra. A child who is virtuous, intelligent, wise, and proud of his family can be called a son of a son. The Nitisastra scripture can be used as a guide for parents to educate their children, because nowadays there are many cases of children who do not respect their parents. The Nitisastra scripture explains that the role of the family (father and mother) is to educate and shape the behavior of the sons of suputra so that one day they will be able to become the next generation.

Full textAbstract:
Studying other religions is a legacy left by medieval Muslim scholars. As a Muslim scholar, al-Biruni’s Kitab al-Hind was a unique contribution to the study of Hinduism. This study explores al-Biruni’s approaches to studying Hinduism, culture, and civilisation by reviewing related manuscripts and literature. Al-Biruni studied the Hindu scripture in its original language. He investigated Hindu theology and philosophy, their caste system in the society, law and ethics, rituals, and festivals. In Kitab al-Hind, an entire chapter was dedicated to Hindu scriptures which included Veda and Puranas. Concerning religious beliefs and divinity, there were various perceptions between the educated and uneducated people. Murti puja was a form of worship to express love and devotion towards God. However, the educated classes considered that idols were no more than intermediaries, and the idol-worshippers were being deluded from the actual worship of God. The Hindu caste system was established upon religious foundations where every caste used to have their mode of living and daily routine. Furthermore, Hindu rules, guidelines, and religious laws were developed by divine sages called Rishis, who provided laws of murder and theft, punishment of adultery, treatment for prisoners, and inheritance law. Al-Biruni took an objective, in-depth, scientific and authentic approach in presenting Hinduism, which made his work accepted by both Muslim and nonMuslim religious scholars. It is hoped that this paper would offer new perspectives to Muslim scholars on studying other religions, which may consequently enhance religious harmony in a multireligious society.

Full textAbstract:
The background of this research takes a different position with many writings discussing Hindu women who are generally said to be marginal and alienated from their cultural structure and social system. Even if it is associated with customs and culture, one of them is through the patrilineal system as it applies in Bali, they are considered to have no contribution at all. Another theme that is also often found in many types of research is the ambivalent attitude that worships Hindu women while at the same time degrading them, especially concerning women's bodies. There are not many writers who re-discuss this theme from the anthropology of religion or religious anthropology which views women in the scriptures not only as a theological and divine dimension but also as an open space for how women can see themselves and act in their culture. Through qualitative research methods using the perspective of religious anthropology based primarily on Hindu scriptures, this study found in-depth interviews and participatory observations and anthropological perspectives of religion enriched with literature studies in the form of holy scriptures, this study found so many important roles of Hindu women who not many people know. The negative stigma about women, the natural-cultural dichotomy, and those who consider Hindu women to be sub-ordinate can only be enlightened through this research.

Full textAbstract:
Three types of academic sources are crucial for understanding the Hindu tradition in our times: a) scriptures and the classical texts that are available mostly in Sanskrit b) works in the English language produced by orientalists, religious studies scholars, and some modern Hindu religious leaders themselves, and c) writings of colonial/post-colonial Hindu and Muslim scholars on Hinduism in Hindi/Urdu language that is understood by a vast majority of the population in South Asia. Many Hindu authors used to write on their religion in Urdu using the Perso-Arabic script in colonial India. Similarly, some Muslim authors also produced scholarly works on Hinduism in Urdu, which could open up better Hindu-Muslim understanding. However, Urdu ceased to be the medium of such writings when religion and language surfaced as two vital factors in national identity constructions in the changing sociopolitical milieu, a process through which the Urdu language became associated with Muslim culture and religion. As a result, the number of Urdu works on Hinduism decreased sharply after British India's partition along religious lines. Nevertheless, this body of Urdu literature is an essential part of the history of modern Hinduism. Keeping this in view, we have produced a comprehensive thematic bibliography of Urdu works on Hinduism, including books, dissertations, and journal articles, which would help preserve the history of the indigenous study of Hinduism in modern times.

Full textAbstract:
The Vedas are Hindu scriptures whose values must be believed. Thousand-year-old Vedas come from the mainland of the Sindhu river valley and spread to all corners of the world, not to mention that Indonesia also received the influence of the teachings of the Vedas. Vedic values are critical to the local culture so that it further strengthens the foundation of civilization. In Indponesia, the Vedas became a foothold for the Hindu occupation. In Java the vedas were adopted not only as holy books, but also as valuable knowledge. The concept of Vedas is widely used by Javanese people to mark truth, or to point to a place. The Hindu community in Java, explores the vines not only through the form of ceremonies, but also becomes part of the lifestyle and symbol of diversity. Vedic verses are not much displayed in the corner of the family room or temple, but the reflection of the Vedic value echoes in the joints of Javanese society. Hndu in Java slowly began to revitalize the values of the Vedic teachings through Dharmagita activities, pesantian, pasraman activities, Hindu young generation actions. In order to echo the teachings of the Vedas need synergistic work between religious leaders, families, religious assemblies to formally elevate the Vedic scriptures.

Full textAbstract:
With the world facing an ecological crisis, Hindus are challenged to reflect on the ways they impact their environment. The last few decades witnessed a rise of theological reflections on Hindu traditions—especially scriptures and concepts (not least by western scholars)—that advocate environmentally friendly perspectives. This stands in sharp contrast with the multiple examples of how Hindu ritual practices cause harm to the environment. Ganesha Chaturthi is a festival that due to the public element of immersion of Ganesha idols, has led to severe pollution of waterbodies. Because of the attention that has been paid to this lately, the festival now calls for ecofriendly alternatives. This article analyses how recently, environmental awareness is ritualized and materialized in the festival of Ganesha Chaturthi. For this, fieldwork was conducted during Ganesha Chaturthi in Chennai and Mumbai in 2022. The focus of the article lies on the ecofriendly material and ritual innovations of the festival—for instance the variety of Ganeshas made of biodegradable materials—and the dynamics of interaction with (alleged) traditions to validate a Green Hindu identity in general and the development of a Green Ganesha in particular.

<p>Polemics emerge when religion is faced to the fact that there are supposedly visitation of intelligent beings from other planets in many cases from ancient times up to now. Vedic literature as basis of Hindu religious teachings is one of many religious resources which can be used as reference to this inquiry. This descriptive-qualitative study aims to (1) clarify whether Vedic Scriptures mention about extraterrestrial life, or intelligent life outside Planet Earth, and (2) enlist categories of extraterrestrial life as mentioned in the Vedic Scriptures. The methods used are literature study and documentary. Result of the study reveals that Vedic Scriptures, especially the four Vedas, Puranas and Itihasas clearly mention about existence of extraterrestrial species (alien beings) and their interactions with humans since the Vedic era. These extraterrestrial beings are of different categories which are more elaborately enlisted in some major Puranic literatures.</p>

The current Hindu society of today stands the same knowledge and customs, but they view hygiene from a different angle. Personal hygiene and sanitation are taken as significant aspects linked to Hindu society. Purity, faith, ritual, and cleanliness in Hindu society are based on the Hindu scriptures related to sanitation and hygiene patterns and the main objective of cleanliness and regular practice in the current society. The study is based on Hindu men and women above 35 years old. The study considers sanitation and hygiene in numerous aspects, including religion, social prestige, self-satisfaction, health, etc. The study includes toilet use, personal hygiene, safe drinking water, and household hygiene as variables.

Hindu society has internalized and practiced sanitation and hygienic behavior from both religious and health perspectives. The Hindu community also agrees with the new approach to the relationship between Hindu rituals and hygiene and sanitation.

Full textAbstract:
A development of ethical thought by Neo-Hindu philosophers in Nineteenth– early Twentieth century Bengal is depicted in the article based on hermeneutic readings of the texts by Bankimchandra Chattopaddhyay, Swami Vivekananda, Aurobindo Ghosh. From the one hand, Neo-Hindu philosophers continue Rammohun Roy’s line of criticism of Indian society’s moral condition, consciousness and conduct. From the other hand, they formed their own ethical conceptions to present Hindu normative ethics. The research demonstrated for the first time the becoming of Modern Indian ethics in the conceptions of Bengal Neo-Hindu thinkers who are the real founders of ethics as philosophical discipline in India. Growing up from indigenous ancient tradition of exegesis of scriptures, Neo-Hindu conceptions of ethics are the new adogmatic interpretation of the native religious ethics in broad context of Modernity. The Bengal Renaissance thinkers had made an intellectual breakthrough in Indian philosophy. The result of intellectual works are following: 1) bringing morality to the fore in dharma to differentiate ethical issue-area as meaningful in thought and practice; 2) definition of universality of Hinduism’ s moral consciousness in the core; 3) normative ethics along with its imperatives and rules had presented as established and fixed in ancient Hindu scriptures; 4) the ethical ideal was found in images of sages and epic heroes as well as in their teachings; 5) ethical norms and ideal are practically oriented for the criticism of society’s morals and future development.

Full textAbstract:
Hinduism in Indonesia has been embraced in various ways. In addition to individual adoption, the conversion to Hinduism has also be performed through religious groups, which later develop by adjusting the local customs. The distinction between one adherent to another is essentially unified by the same theology. Panca Sraddha is one of the binders of Buddhis’ belief to Brahman, Atman, Karmaphala, Punarbhawa or Samsara, and Moksa. By utilizing this similarity, people who belong to Hinduism in Indonesia can live in harmony with other fellow Hindus as well as other religious communities, including Indonesian "indigenous religion" followers. Taking the fact into account; however, there are some Sampradaya or spiritual groups which aim to study the religion deeply by making the Vedic scriptures as the only source of the teachings which might lead them into certain challenging situations in terms of living in harmonious life. The problematic situations were addressed through this qualitative research, which employed interviews, observations, as well as document analysis as source of data. This study concludes that the three religious spiritual groups in Hinduism described in this article are now well-welcomed as an integral part of Indonesian Hindus and members of community in general, although they initially have been rejected at the beginning of their development. In keeping harmony among religious believers, these three spiritual groups, Hare Krishna, Sai Baba, and Brahma Kumaris are actively managing pleasant relations with the Indonesian government, Hindu councils, traditional Hindus, and other religious communities. They have performed strategies of dialogue, cooperation, and social service through humanitarian activities based on love and universal values.

Hindu scriptures teach that almsgiving can not only be done by giving tangible assets but can also be done by giving with an honest and sincere heart despite sacrificing feelings and giving goods in the form of body and soul. In addition, Dana Punia is defined as a gift to eliminate fear. Dana Punia must be done with sincere feelings and selflessness.

Full textAbstract:
In Indian tradition, the religious development of a person is completed when he experiences the world within himself. Sri Ramakrishna, a Bengali temple-priest propagated a new interpretation of the Hindu scriptures. Without formal education, he interpreted the essence of the scriptures with unprecedented simplicity. With deep insight into the rapidly changing social scenario, he realized the necessity of a humanist religious practice. Therefore, adopting a modern perspective, this paper attempts to highlight the contribution of Sri Ramakrishna in India towards the world culture. Qualitative methods through a systematic sociohistorical analysis that summarized the literature based on documents, books and journals are used in this paper. The results show that the Ramakrishna Mission movement has contributed significantly to Indian civilization in education, humanity, literature and spirituality. Although they are not politically involved, their contribution remains significant in shaping a free-thinking, self-respecting and fearless citizen towards British colonial in India.

The controversy surrounding the recognition and embrace of the LGBTQIA+ community is not unique to India. Despite the legalization of homosexuality in 2018, discrimination and marginalization against LGBTQIA+ individuals still persist in Indian society, especially within religious circles. Therefore, this research aims to examine the representation pertaining to the LGBTQIA+ people in Hindu, Islamic, and Christian religious texts, using comparative analysis methods to identify patterns and differences in the portrayal of LGBTQIA+ individuals in religious literature. Given the social and legal issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community in India, it is essential to understand the root causes of prejudice and intolerance towards this group. Religious thoughts, expressions of faith and religious observances significantly influence societal perceptions of LGBTQIA+ individuals. Hence, this study involves a qualitative analysis of relevant religious texts, focusing on themes, metaphors, and attitudes towards non-heterosexual and homosexual identities. The research findings will provide insights into the convergence of religion and LGBTQIA+ identities in India, and may suggest ways to promote inclusion and tolerance towards this community.

In the Indian context, caste controls the gender norms as women are the producers of the nation of ‘caste purity’. No wonder all the Hindu religious scriptures have explicitly or implicitly condemned the notion of miscegenation. Thus the Hindu social order works on two grounds either on the karma ideology of dharma (religion) or danda (punishment) thereupon violence is used as a tool to regulate the Hindu society. Historically dalit men and women have been encountering culturally sanctioned violence, mainly from the Hindu social order in the name of ‘violating social norms’ in various forms ranging from inter-caste marriages, temple entry and untouchability and so on. As a result, dalits, especially dalit women become the easy target for so-called ‘protectors of religious authority’. Further, the presence of violence has been normalized and turned into an everyday phenomenon. This article aims to address sexual violence specifically the rape incidents of dalit women due to their intersectional position in the society. The article also explores how the responses of state stakeholders on these two case studies i.e. Bhagana (2014) and Alwar (2019), having distinct rural and urban location, where dalit women’s rape reveals, the caste power of dominant caste community. It also probes how land becomes a contested space to evade dalits’ demand while raping dalit women. The researcher has opted for the case study method to analyze this broader issue and resources are limited to scholarly articles, online media and print media resources and fact-findings reports.

I. NON-ISLAMIC LINGUISTICS UNDER RELIGIOUSINFLUENCESLinguistics has been struggling under the stranglehold of religious beliefs,superstitions, and ethnocentrism for centuries. The role and nature of humanlanguages was perceived through the worldview preached by various religions.There have been claims for the divine origin of certain languages, conferringa special status on their speakers. Greeks, for example, believed that theirlanguage was superior to all other languages. It was the language spoken bythe Olympian gods. Theirs was the only language with regularity, rules, andmeaning; all other languages were arbitrary and meaningless, burburoi, whencethe modern English word “barbarian.”In India, where Panini (sixth century B.C.E.) wrote the first comprehensivegrammar of a human language, Sanskrit was believed to be the languageof gods and worthy to be studied and used by the high caste of Brahmansonly. The low-caste Hindus could not listen to the Sanskrit verses from theholy scriptures, and severe punishments were prescribed for such sacrilegiousacts. As late as 1912, the Muslim linguist, Mohammad Shahidullah, was deniedadmission to the master’s course in Sanskrit at the University of Calcutta.The Hindu professors of Sanskrit were shqcked at the possibility that a Muslimcould be allowed to read and hence defile the Vedas, the holy scriptures ofHindus. They bitterly opposed his admission.In the Judaeo-Christian world, too, similar unscientific views persisteduntil recently. Hebrew was God‘s own language, the language spoken in theheavens, the first language spoken on the earth and therefore the mother of ...

Abuang dance is one of the dances that accompany religious ceremony at Usaba Kasa and Usaba Sambah in Tenganan Pegringsingan. The art of dance provides an image of worshiping the greatness of God through beauty, therefore Sang Hyang Smara is believed to be God of worship as God of Beauty. This research is a qualitative research with an ethnographic research approach. The results of the research show that Abuang Dance contains many symbols of Pujasmara that can be internalized to the Tenganan Pegringsingan community, Pujasmara's representation in Abuang Dance is shown by dancers, fashion, property, movement, and selonding gamelan. The belief of the Tenganan Pegringsingan community is a belief in local wisdom based on the desa, kala, patra which cannot be changed, but remains in the teachings of the Hindu religious scriptures that God is One ‘Esa’.

Full textAbstract:
Indian scriptures describe the unity of each individual with nature by stating I am the Son of Mother Earth (mother earth). I found two major takeaways from my interviews in India. Firstly, I was fascinated to see so much agreement on the concept of species dharma. This concept is, in my opinion, the strongest evidence of embedded Hindu ecological understanding. The concept is very applicable and accessible to average Hindus, making it a framework that, if promoted, can help modern India develop a stronger environmental ethic. Through my own observations I have commonly witnessed what I can only define as spiritual apathy. Walking across a bridge I watched a family dump bags of candy, wrapper and all, into the river. Hundreds of aluminum and plastic bowls from makeshift Ganga puja litter the shore of the river, with untold thousands lying at the bottom. The main cause behind the so-called ‘ignorant practice’ in Hinduism seems to be the failure of the priests. Indeed, there is a need of class of Brahmin who has attained a state of higher consciousness and can teach masses with their ancient wisdom. Literacy on the legacy of ancient wisdom is on the rise in India, allowing the less-educated to access religious texts in a way that they never have been able to. A woman, who was interviewed said, “if we take our own inner change seriously, than this will lead to outer change. If we change our vision and lifestyle, everything will shift. We must perceive nature, culture, and land as divine”.

AbstractAn ethic of environmental stewardship can find valuable support in the world's existing cultural and spiritual traditions. This paper emphasises the Vedic heritage for eco-care, citing as examples numerous passages from Hindu sacred writings, including the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. These scriptures demonstrate an early understanding of the need to temper our material appetites, and most importantly, to treat the earth with care and respect.

<em>Kepongor for the Hindu community in Bali is a belief (belief) based on a tradition and ancestral culture. Where the kepongor culture is a form of teaching about human behavior (deeds), ethics and morality which is applied from generation to generation through a curse, it is possible that all descendants are always aware of (remember) the ancestors. Religion is taught and socialized to humans based on the text of the Veda scriptures, lontar, and Bisama (warning) from generation to generation. This has served to provide a belief about how diversity and culture are carried out by humans based on the Five Sradha and Tri Hindu religious frameworks, tattwa, morals and events. On the basis of sradha and bahakti, things that are beyond human reason and logic that are abstract in nature which cause sorrow, pain, etc. can be avoided. Through the description above, the problems discussed in this study include: 1) the form of kepongor experienced by Balinese, 2) Balinese people can learn and overcome kepongor, 3) the implementation of karmaphala teachings on the incidence of kepongor</em>

The prime objective of this research article is to explore the different forms of arts performed by the ‘Gandharvas’ along with their historicity of social and sacred religious origin towards which the mainstream Nepali society is indifferent. In the social context of Nepal, they are regarded as the musician caste. They are also treated as the so-called lower caste people, the ‘dalits’ and are also denied the prestigious position in the society as well as in the pages of history. Although neglected in the society as well as in the history, they have got a pious origin as mentioned in the Hindu religious scriptures and beliefs. Their performing arts and musical instruments also have the religious significance. They have made a great contribution for nation through their performing arts. But the paradox is that they have not got the true recognition in Nepali society even though they share the sacred lineage like other groups. Although they have sacred place in religion, their position is downtrodden in society.

Full textAbstract:
The paper attempts to project Bhim Rao Ambedkar as one of the foremost liberal feminists who advocated for Hindu women’s legal rights through the constitutional provisions listed in the Hindu Code Bill. He proposed four major stipulations, “one change is that, the widow, the daughter, the widow of predeceased-son. All are given the same rank as the son in the matter of inheritance. In addition to that, the daughter is also given a share in her father’s property: her share is prescribed as half of that of the son.”[1] To contemplate the predicament and marginalized position of Indian women, Ambedkar posited that caste and gender are intertwined. The imposition of endogamy was made compulsory by Brahaminical hierarchy which eulogized by Hindu religious scriptures to ensure sustained subjectivity of women, which eventually depreciated the egalitarian position of women. The focal point of the research paper remains a close textual analysis of Ambedkarite canon with archival study and genealogical examination contouring the discourse. The paper also encompasses potent reasons to establish the differences between the marginalization of upper-caste women and Dalit women. Difference between them is maintained by the ‘graded inequality.’ After having observed such differences, the paper intends to extend the idea that Ambedkar worked as a socio-political champion for Dalit women and Indian women concomitantly. To guarantee the freedom, equality, and individuality of Indian women, Ambedkar resorted to legalized mechanism and constitutional provisions.

AbstractHow have religious communities imagined the scriptures of other communities? In answering this question, this article aims to nuance our understanding of pre-colonial and self-consciously Islamic translations into Persian of Indic language texts understood to be Hindu by considering Masīḥ’s early 17th-century Mas̱navī-i Rām va Sītā, a Persian translation of Vālmīki’s Sanskrit epic, the Rāmāyaṇa (circa 2nd century bce). It opens by remarking on a shift in the study of the relations between poetics and politics in Persian translations of Indic texts. Then, attempting to refine our understanding of this relation, it takes issue with prior studies of this poem before answering the following questions these studies fail to pose: how does the prophetological metaphysics of the prefatory chapters relate to the poetics of emotion in the main body of the tale? And what does this relation let us infer of Masīḥ’s theological conception of translation?

Full textAbstract:
This article aims at debunking the sanctity of the cow that has gained ground as a political vehicle in contemporary times, and exposing the selective reading of texts employed otherwise to further particular religious leanings. Through the course of this article, a wide array of evidence from religious scriptures, legal texts, archaeological materials, epics, commentaries, edicts, foreign travellers’ accounts, debates, statutes and judicial decisions have been resorted to, in order to enable a comprehensive understanding of the trajectory of the cow from sacrificial slaughter to prohibitory injunctions on beef consumption. This article, to begin with, traces the treatment of the cow to the earliest Vedic texts through an academic survey to demystify popular misconceptions regarding religious injunctions against cow slaughter and the inherent sacredness of the cow. It then explores an amalgamation of theories put forth to explicate the transition from cow killing to the present inviolability of the cow. Finally, this article examines the legal and juridical discourse on sanctifying the cow, by tracing Constituent Assembly debates and a series of judgements on cow slaughter under the colonial administration and post-Independence, to conclude that judicial intervention has failed to engage with the religious debate satisfactorily and has made a mockery of constitutional secularism in promoting and normalizing a single dominant-caste Hindu narrative.

Historically, Dalit identity is associated with different stereotypical notions. In this article, we have attempted to explore the underlying factors behind the stigma associated with them from the micro perspective in a small Muslim-dominated context of Bangladesh based on a series of intensive fieldwork. It reveals that Dalit cleaners are widely considered impure, dirty, strange, chaotic, alcoholic, and inferior. We combined two theoretical perspectives to interpret the matter systematically: Douglas’s notion of purity and pollution and Foucauldian discourse. The apparent reasons for the stigma associated with Dalit cleaners at Bhairab are association with ‘Dirty jobs, pig rearing, pork consumption, liquor consumption, and business. However, the empirical pieces of evidence show that different historical, religious, and socio-political factors (such as ideological domination of Hindu scriptures, the intervention of British colonialism, and the negative role of media and local influential businessmen) contribute significantly to the stigma.

Bhagavad Gita Devata Song, is one of the Vedas. He often refers to it as the fifth veda, the Pancamo Veda. It is not clear why it was named so, because when viewed from the aspect of the codification of the Hindu religious scriptures called the Vedas, it is traditionally called Vedic chess. Structurally the content of the Bhagavad-gita is more focused and is a collection of the previous Vedas. This is one step in the development of the history of thinking in Hinduism. The Bhagavad-gita appears as part of the Mahabharata which consists of 18 parvas, and 700 slokas. Learning the Bhagavad Gita is a necessity that must be carried out by Hindu students. Every day, even every time students should take their time to learn to read the Bhagavad Gita. A good learning process is a learning process that can make it easier for students to understand the Bhagavad Gita material being taught. In this study, the information provided by the application includes an understanding of the Bhagavad Gita, the contents of the verse from the Bhagavad Gita, assistance on how to read the sloka properly and correctly according to the existing recommendations.

In Balinese society, it has been proven that many women are capable of carrying out tasks as befits men, such as being a sulinggih, pampangku (jan bangul), but women are generally reluctant to choose this opportunity to become the field they are engaged in. Scriptures or guidelines in ejection are often used as an excuse to perpetuate injustice regarding the provisions that must be obeyed by women in religious activities/prayers. Women play an important role in being involved in religious ceremonies and other Yajna activities. One of the important roles of women is their involvement in the Pitra Yajna ceremony, namely the Ngaben ceremony. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of women in carrying out the cremation ceremony in Wana Sari Hamlet, Swastika Buana Village, Seputih Banyak District, Central Lampung Regency and to analyze the shape of the role of women in the Ngaben ceremony in Wana Sari Hamlet, Swastika Buana Village, Seputih Banyak District, Central Lampung Regency. The method used in this study is a qualitative research method related to field research which is usually research related to the social sciences. The results of the study are that women have a social role in society and secondly, the role of women is to strengthen a sense of solidarity in the effort to transform religious values and the division of responsibilities for the implementation and development of religious rituals, especially at the Ngaben ceremony, is sustainable. The role that women have in carrying out the Ngaben ceremony is that the women specifically make Banten Upakara, while the men handle other equipment that requires more manpower, such as making bade and others. The rights of Hindu women in the Ngaben ceremony greatly determine the Atman and all of their ancestors in order to achieve perfection and happiness in God's realm.

The relationship between man and earth has been both sacred and tender since time immemorial. This bond is based on the guiding principles enshrined and practiced deftly in all religious scriptures. Islam and Hinduism are unique as having a deep sense of respect and consideration for Earth and its natural resources. Fazlun Majeed Khālid and Ranchor Prime being the contemporary scholars of Islam and Hinduism respectively, attempted to bring religious understandings of earth and the place of human beings on it into the discourse of the present ecological crisis. They shifted the global vision of the earth-man relationship to a religious understanding of ‘self and surrounding'. They tried to solve the current ecological crisis that our planet is facing after the advent of scientific knowledge and technological development in a purely eco-theological dimension. Khālid tries to address these issues from an Islamic understanding of nature while Prime attempts to deal with the ecological crisis from the Hindu faith. Both scholars criticized the anthropocentric value approach of the West and present the Cosmo-centric value approach as an alternative ethical approach to protecting our home planet Earth and its resources. This article presents a comparative analysis of their eco-theological thoughts to sustain an earth-man relationship in the 21st century.

Abstract Immigrating to New York City presents new issues for Indo--Guyanese, especially as many find themselves in lower class positions while navigating a racial structure distinct from Guyana. A subset of these Indo--Guyanese Americans, particularly middle class women as well as the 1.5-- and second generation, believes Guyanese Hinduism, the forms of Hinduism adapted to the Guyanese context, must adapt again to continue to be relevant to the community in their new home. Central to their call is questioning the religious authority of pandits. As I will discuss, pandits occupy a powerful position in Guyanese Hindu community that extends beyond the religious sphere. The key to their authority lies in their ability and skill to read and interpret Hindu scripture. However, I argue the realities of migration have resulted in a questioning of religious authority and how pandits read these texts. With some Guyanese Hindus uncertain of the reliability of their pandit’s reading of scriptural text, there is a desire to engage in a Hinduism untainted by the biases of pandits. The presumed truth held within Hindu scripture has inspired some devotees to return to the text or rather to engage the text on their own for the first time. As a result, new reading practices are appearing within the community, which encourages Guyanese Hindus to craft a Hinduism that will serve them.

Full textAbstract:
The paper aims to study the practice of local leadership and governance in Nepal critically. The historical perspective synthesizing the review of literature and interpretation analyzing the changes over some time is adopted as a method. The practice of local leadership and governance in Nepal has been since ancient times. The kings and states are examples of leadership and governance practice that is mentioned in Hindu and Buddhist scriptures. The great-men theory or charismatic theory of leadership has largely been associated with leadership and the governance system was mainly based on religious and community basis and ultimately utopian ideas. Self-rule was found on a community basis as governance at the local level. Similarly, the charismatic typology of leadership has long been dominant in Nepal. Despite this, leadership has largely been influenced by caste, kin, and noble family. However, with the advent of modernization, the traditional practice of governance and leadership has changed. Nonetheless, questions on leadership and governance have also been raised regarding social transformation and economic growth.

Introduction.- In the year of 1894, the Adventist message was first introduced in Hindu country India. Since, then thousands of missionaries have been sent to Asian countries like India, Nepal, Maldives, and Bangladesh but very few results have been accomplished. Many missionaries and Missionary Institutions have come to the realization that the work is very challenging to this specific group of people. In order to reach them and to know how they think and perceive things it is vital to understand their worldview. Objective.- Having mentioned the above problem, this research tends to contribute in unders- tanding the worldview of Hinduism. Only if we understand their worldview, we will be able to relate with them, and will be able to explain things in a way that both parties understands with less possibilities of being misunderstood. Methodology.- In order to make it happen, this research followed thematic methodology, first planted the problematic issues, explained the antecedents, and found solutions of the problem. Results.- Found some elements that could serve as a bridge for religious dialogues with Hin- dus. When the oriental world is crying for medical assistant, medical missionary work would serve as a medium to touch their hearts, other elements that has to deal with salvation, grace, and the identity of the savior of the world is revealed using their own sacred scriptures. Conclusions.- Investigation reached to the following conclusions: First, Understanding the worldview of any group of people, or individual helps to relate and reach them. Second, Christ’s method alone will work as incredible method to reach the unreached Hindus, most of the Hin- dus people have prejudice about the western missionaries but if Christ Method was followed and if we seek nothing but their good, surely they will open their hearts for truth. Third, some elements have been found in their sacred books where it reveals about the Identity of Jesus Christ and presents Him as the redeemer of the world.

Religion is a concept of religious order between human and God. A religious attitude, of course, based on the scriptures, which always obeys what He commands and stays away from all the prohibitions. One form of religious attitude is seen in the worship of God Almighty.

The performance of the Rāmāyan, a popular, medieval Hindi text composed by the Indian poet/saint Tulsidas, constitutes an important genre in the “rhetoric of renunciation” for female Hindu ascetics (sādhus) in Rajasthan. It is used by them, along with the singing of devotional songs (bhajans) and the telling of religious stories (kahānī), as integral to their daily practice of asceticism. This essay examines the performance and textual strategies by which non- and semi-literate female sādhus create themselves as “scriptural”—how they perform a relationship with the literate textual tradition of the Tulsi Rāmāyan—and thus engender female religious authority in the male-dominated institution of renunciation, in which men are often considered by Indian society as “the” experts in sacred texts. For these female sādhus, Rāmāyan performance functions as a rhetorical strategy with which they construct their tradition of devotional asceticism as a non-orthodox and vernacular alternative to the dominant (and orthodox) Sanskritic textual model of Brahmanical asceticism. The sādhus’ identification of Rāmāyan expressive traditions with Tulsidas’ written text contributes a new perspective on the concept of scripture, and their textual practices provide an alternative model of scripturality to current analytical models which equate it with individuals’ engagement with the written sacred text.

Can the sacred texts of non-Christian religious traditions be revelatory for Christians in a fashion that is more than vague and merely theoretical? This question is central within the larger project of understanding the significance of the various world religions for Christians, and the effort to answer it must proceed according to three specific tasks.First, it is necessary to describe the ways in which the Christian tradition predisposes and constrains Christian believers on the issue of whether non-Christian texts can be revelatory words of God for non-Christians, for Christians, or for both. The formulation of this description requires reflection on the Christian tradition and its sources: Christian ideas of revelation, scripture, the Word of God, and possible words of God.

Full textAbstract:
In the present study, Hindy Najman addresses two fundamental aspects related to Second Temple Jewish literature: pseudepigrapha and the rewritten Bible. Pseudepigrapha as a literary genre signifies texts which claim as their author some privileged individual from the past. In reality, however, the attribution of authorship to some ancient figure masks the present-day composition of the text. The term rewritten Bible, in its broadest use, refers to the interpretive reworking of the scriptural text and story through such means as expansion, deletion, harmonization, and conflation. The final product retains the narrative sequence of the scriptural account though in a significantly modified form. Both of these literary techniques seemingly have at their base a manipulation and subversion of the integrity of the scriptural story and text. Pseudepigrapha asserts for a latter day author the authority and prestige of an ancient figure; rewritten Bible presents itself as a new and improved scripture.
