Автор: Fabrizio M. Ferrari Название: Religion, Devotion and Medicine in North India: The Healing Power of Sitala ISBN: 1441163808 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781441163806 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 33780.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This volume examines notions of health and illness in North Indian devotional culture, with particular attention paid to the worship of the goddess Sitala, the Cold Lady. Consistently portrayed in colonial and postcolonial literature as the ambiguous 'smallpox goddess', Sitala is here discussed as a protector of children and women, a portrayal that emerges from textual sources as well as material culture.
The eradication of smallpox did not pose a threat to Sitala and her worship. She continues to be an extremely popular goddess. Religion, Devotion and Medicine in North India critically examines the rise and affirmation of the 'smallpox myth' in India and beyond, and explains how Indian narratives, ritual texts and devotional songs have celebrated Sitala as a loving mother who protects her children from the effects, and the fear, of poxes, fevers and infantile disorders but also all sorts of new threats (such as global pandemics, addictions and environmental catastrophes). The book explores a wide range of ritual and devotional practices, including scheduled festivals, songs, vows, pageants, austerities, possession, animal sacrifices and various forms of offering.
Built on extensive fieldwork and a close textual analysis of sources in Sanskrit and vernacular languages (Hindi, Bhojpuri and Bengali) as well as on a rich bibliography on the struggle against smallpox in colonial and post-colonial India, the book reflects on the ambiguous nature of Sitala as a phenomenon largely dependent on the enduring fascination with the exotic, and the horrific, that has pervaded public renditions of Indian culture in indigenous fiction, colonial reports, medical literature and now global culture.
To aid study, the volume includes images, web links, appendixes and a filmography.

Автор: Dasi Varsana Lali Devi Название: The Ayurveda Experiment: Phase I ISBN: 1982259744 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781982259747 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 31220.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Varsana Lali Devi Dasi (born Lisa Marchand) has always been a seeker. While growing up in a tumultuous environment, she was drawn to ask questions about the bigger picture. What was the cause of her suffering and what could she do to make the best of it? As she searched for the truth in the ancient texts of India, Bhakti Yoga, and later through the principles of Ayurveda, Varsana not only found relief from her suffering, but also discovered her purpose, community, and the key to a meaningful life. In a twelve-week guide, Varsana offers personal stories intertwined with detailed guidelines and a variety of exercises that teach how to apply the principles of Ayurveda, an ancient holistic science of healing, to achieve life balance. Through her practical roadmap, others will learn about the five elements in the body, the disease process, and how to take inventory of physical imbalances, observe habits, and create goals. Varsana teaches that through these processes one can learn how to break through the cycles that bind us into making ongoing bad choices, and instead, make informed decisions that will contribute to fulfillment, the achievement of personal goals, and ultimately, to happiness. Also available is The Ayurveda Experiment Companion Journal. The Ayurveda Experiment: Phase I is a self-guided, twelve-week program that teaches others about conscious consumption and how to apply the principles of an ancient science of healing to achieve health, wellness, and life balance.
