7 About Goddess Durga Durga, in Sanskrit means "She who is incomprehensible or difficult to reach." Goddess Durga is a form of Sakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. Mother of the Universe, she represents the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of a female dynamism. The manifestation of Goddess Durga is said to emerge from Her formless essence and the two are inseparable. She is also called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali. In the form of Parvati, She is known as the divine spouse of Lord Shiva and is the mother of Her two sons, Ganesha and Karttikeya, and daughter Jyoti. Destroyer of demons, she is worshiped during an annual festival called Durga puja, especially popular among Bengalis. Her Appearance There are endless aspects of Durga described in the Puranas and Agamas and the iconography is consequently very varied. She is usually pictured as having ten arms holding Sword, Conch, Discus, Rosary, Bell, Winecup, Shielf, Bow, Arrow, and Spear. She is most often shown riding a lion from which comes Her august name, Simhavahini, "She who stands astride the king of beasts". She is gorgeously dressed in royal red cloth and has several ornaments decorating Her personage. Her hair is dressed up in a crown (karandamukuta) which then flows out in long luxuriant tresses that are darkly luminous and soothing to the eye. The various tools reflects the eminent supremacy that helps in controling the universe and obey Her will. Wielding Energy Goddess Durga exists eternally, always abiding in her own sweet nature and inhabits the hearts and minds of her ecstatic devotees. As Shakti power, she shapes, nurtures, and dissolves names and forms, while as subtle spiritual energy called Kundalini, She lights the lotuses fo the seven centres of awareness in the sacred human body. Goddess Durga killed the powerful demon Mahish and all his great commanders. When demonic forces create imbalance all god unite becoming one divine force called Shakti or Durga. Source : B.A.D.V.

10 THE HOLY BOOKS OF HINDUS Contributor Sudeb Das Sadhu Sangha In Scriptures, there are many references of Sadhu Sangha, which is popularly known as Sat Sangha. We find many such references in Kathamrita given by Bhagaban Sri Sri Ramakrishna for better understanding and practice of religion. The Sadhus or Saints with superior knowledge of religion, could explain religion better with stories and examples from life. The people who seeks deeper knowledge in religion usually takes shelter of Saints or Holy man. So, in early days, Sadhu Sangha became the primary source of learning religion. But, to-day many sources are available to enrich religion knowledge. The different examples of Sadhu Sangha, or Sat Sangha are:- 1. Books- Many books in the form of Scriptures or Holy Books are available for reading. The books with diagrams, pictures are also available for better understanding and clarity and became primary source of Sat Sangha. 2. Organized Classes, Meetings, Seminars, Discussions on religious subjects all are very important means of Sat Sangha. 3. The next important means of Sat Sangha are pre-recorded Tapes or Discs on Holy Subjects or Topics. 4. The Pre-recorded or Live Music such as Kirtan, Bhajan or many other types of spiritual songs are also treated as important mode of Sat Sangha. 5. Esthetic Movies & Dramas narrating the stories of scriptures and lives of Holy Men or Women, also became a means Sat Sangha. Therefore, all these studies such as Reading Sat Grantha (books); Attending the Classes, Lectures of Sadhus, Saints, Religious Scholars; Watching Good Religious Movies or Dramas; Listening or Participating in Religious Songs like Kirtan Bhajan etc. etc. can be assumed as Sat Sangha activities as these will help us to enrich our religious knowledge to lead better peaceful life. The Blind Children and the Elephant Once in a town there was a school for blind children. The teacher was telling the children a story about an elephant. One child asked the teacher, what an elephant is. The teacher could not describe what it was to the children. So he took them to an elephant to touch and understand what it is. All of the children were very excited. The teacher took them to the manager of a circus nearby. He asked the manager and surely he said yes B.A.D.V. DURGA PUJA 2010
11 They came to an elephant named Radha. All of them surrounded the animal. One boy moved his hand over the large ear of the elephant. Then he thought to himself The elephant is like a fan. Another boy held the leg of the elephant with both hands and thought The elephant is a big pillar. A third one touched his trunk and thought The elephant is a thick club. The last one poked his stomach and thought This animal is a huge jar. They came back to the school and started discussing what an elephant is. The first student said an elephant is like a fan. The second student said a elephant is like a big pillar. And the third student said the elephant is a thick club. The fourth student said an elephant is a huge jar. They all are wrong and also they are correct because they could only touch a part of the elephant, not the whole elephant. So you can not understand correctly from knowing the partial truth. Retold By Maya The Story of Surdas Part 1 Once upon a time, there was a man named Surdas. He had a great devotion to Lord Krishna, but he was born blind. One day, he went on a holy trip. After a couple minutes he fell into a well. He called to the Lord to save him, and eventually, after a week he was pulled out of the well thanks to God s grace. When he was on land, he heard Lord Krishna and Radha talking. Surdas told them that he was blind, for he was begging to see Krishna. Radha slowly went near Surdas. Krishna warned her that Surdas will catch hold of her feet. Radha asked Surdas if he would do so, and he said, How can I, if I am blind? Krishna warned Radha again. She went behind Surdas and touched him. Surdas turned and managed to catch hold of her feet. Radha escaped, but Surdas had her anklets. Part 2 Radha asked for Surdas to return her anklets. Surdas said, How do I know if these are yours? I am blind. Radha said, They are mine. Please, return them to me. If I can see you, then I will know that they are yours. Suddenly, Surdas could see! The Lord said that he can ask for any other boons he wants. Surdas said, By seeing both of your true forms, I don t want to see any other things in the world. So, please, make me blind again. Radha shed tears of his devotion to them, and so, Surdas became blind again. Retold By Shakti B.A.D.V. DURGA PUJA 2010

21 Word of Malice* by Aratrik Guha As we learn and as we grow, Our seniors teach us many a thing, Always setting precedents, And almost always hindering, I speak not of the elderly I speak of teens, In the heart of hatred lies spreading a scourge, A simple word of different meaning used to define our very friends, Used as a joke but interpreted differently, Retard we call our friends, For what reason this became a precedent is insane, Capricious and unintelligible are the influencers, But blissful are those, Those who are mentally challenged, They are unique in everyway, Their mental state we never leave astray, Facilitating their lives incessantly, Yet we still use the word that sets them a blaze, Never will I forgive those who use it, Some are hypocrites and some are ignorant, Though I trust that humanity will amend, For it is their duty as fellow human friends. (*This poem was previously published by Creative Communications in 2009) B.A.D.V. DURGA PUJA 2010
22 Obstacles by Hirakumar Mukhopadhyay It was just too difficult, there were too many obstacles It seemed like survival wasn t possible But I kept my head up; everyone doesn t die at a hospital If a door closing, a new one always opens a new thing should be made when something is broken I always heard no matter how far it is, still pursue No attempt made, everything is bound to go askew It might be crazy, it might be nuts like cashews But being wrong at this point is like saying the sky isn t blue The situation may seem like different hues, But it just depends on your view So always persevere The end may be near It took me forever, but I m finally here My mission was to get past where I started, and that was clear If you heading in the wrong direction, just turn and steer If you re afraid just remember you shouldn t have fears If you have that, all critics will simply cheer What you strived for what will appear It might take a day, or a year Who knows the time? But it s all fine if you cross the finish line They asked it took you so much longer, why didn t you give up? I did it for the honor and for me that was enough B.A.D.V. DURGA PUJA 2010

34 What the epic says AkalBodhan The worship of Devi Durga in the month of Ashwin is called 'Akalbodhan'- an uncustomary time for commencement of the worship. It is so called since the period of this worship differs from the conventional period (during the spring - 'Basanta'). Ramayana says that when Rama was engaged in the fierce battle with Ravana, he wanted to secure the blessings of victory from Devi Durga. He held the puja to evoke the goddess during autumn to his dire plight, thereby worshiping Durga untimely (in Akal). Hence this puja is called Akalbodhon. It was customary to worship Durga with 100 neel kamals (blue lotuses). Rama could gather only 99 of them; he offered one of his eyes as a substitute of the 100th lotus. Pleased with his devotion Durga blessed him. The battle started on Shaptami and Ravana was killed at the Shandhikshan (in between) Ashtami and Navami; he was cremated on Dashami. Therefore the four days of the puja that we celebrate ends in the triumph of the good over evil. With best Durga Puja wishes from Amit, Amrita & Lipi Sen B.A.D.V. DURGA PUJA 2010
35 Indian cuisine is among the most varied and enjoyable of all ethnic foods because of terrain, climate and the infusion of people of many different religions into Indian culture over thousands of years... The taste that people savor in an Indian dish may range from the delicate to the hearty, the piquant to the fiery. Americans often think of most Indian cookery as being of the latter category. However, it is the inclusion of one ingredient, chilies, which makes food "hot". By toning down the use of chilies, as well as some of the richer ingredients, Palace of Asia offers recipes that are gentler, but retain the flavor, aroma and texture for which Indian cuisine is rightfully famous...palace of Asia is pleased to present a wide selection of Indian haute cuisine made from the finest and freshest ingredients. Our menu offers a welcome change from the ordinary that is not only pleasing to the palate, but a healthful alternative as well, owing largely to the use of a variety of vegetables and leaner meats. Frequent visits to the Palace of Asia and sampling different items on the menu will make you a connoisseur of exotic Indian cuisine. We hope your dining experience at Palace of Asia will be an enjoyable one! Contact Us if you need more information Phone: (609) Phone:(302) PalaceOfAsia@aol.com Web: B.A.D.V. DURGA PUJA 2010
