Hindu God Ganesh’s Family

Posted on by blogger

Elephant-headed Ganesh, Hindu’s most renowned God, is a study in contrast. He is held in awe and reverence as a strong force who removes barriers in people’s lives. But Ganesha also summons a very down-to-earth affection. Some of this warmth originates from his direct involvement in our everyday lives and from the mythological tales about him and his family. The legends about Ganesha depict him as a committed son and a affectionate brother.

There’s no Hindu grandmother who doesn’t love reciting the story of Ganesh’s parentage and birth. Many versions abound, but here’s the popular one. Officially, Ganpati’s father is Lord Shiva the Destroyer, one of the holy trinity in the Hindu pantheon, a rather fearsome figure with matted locks and an ash-smeared body who spends eons meditating in the Himalayas. Parvati, his divine wife, presides over all of creation. Without her, the earth would be barren and perennially cold. During her husband’s extended absence, Parvati created a young boy for herself from a dollop of clay – none other than Ganesha. When Shiva, incognizant of his ‘son’s’ existence, returned back, Ganesh refused him from access to Parvati, who was bathing and had directed her son to guard against intruders. Shiv, whose rage could shatter the universe, chopped off the child’s head. When he realized his mistake, he replaced the boy’s head with that of an elephant. Shiva also granted Ganesha a boon – that he would be worshipped before the start of any earthly enterprise. Notwithstanding this dramatic event in childhood, Ganesh grew up to be regarded as the epitome of filial devotion.

Hindu mythology has few stories about Ganesh and his younger brother, Karthikeya. Where Ganesh is revered all over India, Karthikeya’s presence is predominant in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu, where he is also known as Murugan, Subramanya or Arumugham. You couldn’t find two more contrasting personalities. Ganesh is comfortably tubby, warm, and patience personified; brother Karthikeya is all radiant energy and an impulsive lad. Ganesha has the lowly mouse as his vehicle while Karthikeya prefers the flashy peacock.

Like many Hindu sagas, stories of the Ganesh-Kartikeya interactions are possessed of a innocent simplicity, yet imbued with lessons for human race. One time, a mango infused with divine knowledge was brought to Mount Kailas in the Himalayas, where Shiva and Parvati hold court. Since only one individual could consume the fruit, a competition was suggested between their two sons – whosoever circumambulated the earth thrice and returned first would win the mango. Confident that his peacock would outrace Ganesha’s mouse, Kartikeya went off into space. Ganesha, on the other hand, simply folded his hands in prayer and walked around his seated parents, returning to his starting point ahead of Kartikeya. His reasoning? Shiva and Parvati contain the world within them; walking around his parents is equivalent to actually going around the earth. He won the mango, but then magnanimously offered it to his sulking brother.

There are contradictory views regarding the marital status of Ganesha. Some regions of India worships Ganesha as a bachelor while the rest of India worships him along with his two consorts. Ganesha is thought to be married to Siddhi (spiritual strength) and Buddhi (intellect) – the daughters of Brahma the Creator – one of the holy trinity in the Hindu pantheon. This is popularly taken to mean that where Ganesh is present, intellectual acumen and spirituality will follow. Legend also has it that Kartikeya grew up to marry Valli, a tribal maiden and Devayani, the daughter of Indra, the wind god. However, he is widely worshipped as a child-god possessed of a warrior’s skills, one who protects his devotees against all harm.

The Family Bible, An Echo Of The Medieval Book.

Posted on by blogger

By the mid nineteenth century the Bible was regarded as being a lot more than just teachings inspired by the light of God.

They became objects of devotion in their own right, and given a special place in the house and often containing letters and memories in the form of dried flowers.

The family bible evolved into the religious hub of the house.

The Protestant faith of the time, held sacred the living Word, and placed more value on sermons rather than ritual, so it is not surprising that the Holy Bible became seen as such iconic objects.

The Bible publishers of the day served to the market by making massive family Bibles, complete with explanatory articles, special pages for births, deaths and marriages, and that owed much in style to the ancient book.

So the family Bible became the altar of domestic spirituality, somewhere where the sacred life of the household met the sacred life of the church founders, apostles & prophets.

As bookbinders we were housed in the grounds of an active monastery, perhaps for that reason we had far more than our fair share of family bibles to repair. Looking at our receipts I see we restored about twenty large format bibles a year

Unfortunately the structure of most of these family Bibles lacked the integrity of the contents.

In terms of design, many of these Family Bibles harked back to medieval examples of binding, at least in appearance.

The Family Bibles often had very heavy boards, often half an inch thick.

In further imitation of the early codex, they often came with clasps and fancy engraved corners. Some had brass edging around the sides of the boards.

Of course these fittings added a great deal to the boards’ weight

Attempting to keep within a tight budget, most of these Family Bibles were bound in thin sheepskin leather.

This thin skiver leather was just not up to the task of supporting the massive and heavy boards, that is why so many unrepaired Family Bibles can be found with one or more boards detached from the binding.

It is of course possible to repair these books, though they do represent a considerable investment, usually of several hundred pounds.

Deepika spends time with family, thanks to Ranveer

Deepika spends time with family, thanks to Ranveer

MUMBAI: Actress Deepika Padukone can’t thank her “Ram Leela” co-star Ranveer Singh enough for giving her time off to visit her parents for the New Year.

Each year Deepika likes to be with her family at this time of the year. However, this year she was committed to shoot for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Ram Leela” with Ranveer.

Ranveer has lately been running from the sets of “Ram Leela” in Gujarat to the sets of “Gunday” in Kolkata. The actor injuried himself on the sets of “Gunday”, which eventually affected Bhansali’s “Ram Leela” also.

“Ranveer Singh was shooting simultaneously for ‘Gunday’ and ‘Ram Leela’. In fact, the whiskered look that he sports for Sanjay Bhansali’s film has been incorporated into his personality in ‘Gunday’ for the want of a choice. Remember back in 1969 how Rajesh Khanna’s bearded look in ‘Ittefaq’ had to be incorporated into ‘Do Raaste’ as the superstar shot simultaneously for both,” said a source.

Bhansali was all set to complete the shooting of some dramatic scenes between Ranveer and Deepika, but Ranveer’s accident forced the director to postpone the shoot.

And Deepika has quietly taken off to Bangalore to be with her family.
