...Abstract Kabir Das : Literature and Communication Literature is the mirror of society and it is the reflection of the age, which it belongs to. Literature of any age and era shows the prevalent trend of the period when it was created and connects at its best to that era. The uniqueness of the literature of Saint Kabir is that it transcends all boundaries and limitations of time and place. In spite of the fact that his literature belongs to the period of 15th century it is still relevant, remembered, quoted and discussed with passion and fervor not only among the connoisseurs of art and literature but also among common man and youth. This article is an attempt to throw light on the various dimensions of Kabir Das’s literature and how it is still effectively communicated and in turn is used for effective communication. This paper contemplates on the varied aspects of kabir’s literature. Kabir’s literature is known for elements of mysticism, spirituality, concept of love, his objectivity in imparting moral education, his attack on vices of human behavior, hypocrisy and materialistic attitude. All these aspects are dominantly reflected in his literary works and are still relevant in today’s social scenarios which are well communicated in the form of his well remembered ‘Dohas’ and poetry. Hence, it is concluded that Kabir’s literature, in spite of being so old and classical is timeless and well applicable and connected with today’s era. His ‘Dohas’ makes...

...a deity to Earth, or a descent of the Supreme Being (e.g., Vishnu for Vaishnavites), and is mostly translated into English as "incarnation", but more accurately as "appearance" or "manifestation". The phenomenon of an avatar is observed in Hinduism, Ayyavazhi, and Sikhism. Avatar is regarded as one of the core principles of Hinduism. The term is most often associated with Vishnu, though it has also come to be associated with other deities Varying lists of avatars of Vishnu appear in Hindu scriptures, including the ten Dashavatara of the Garuda Purana and the twenty-two avatars in the Bhagavata Purana, though the latter adds that the incarnations of Vishnu are innumerable. The avatars of Vishnu are a primary component of Vaishnavism. An early reference to avatar, and to avatar doctrine, is in the Bhagavad Gita. Shiva and Ganesha are also described as descending in the form of avatars. The various manifestations of Devi, the Divine Mother principal in Hinduism, are also described as avatars or incarnations by some scholars and followers ofShaktism. The avatars of Vishnu carry a greater theological prominence than those of other deities, which some scholars perceive to be imitative of the Vishnu avatar lists. In Sikhism, an avatar is a deliberate descent of a soul to earth in any form. Guru Granth Sahib believes in the existence of the Dashavatara. In Dasam Granth, Guru Gobind Singh wrote three composition on historical avatars which include Vishnu Avatar, Brahma Avatar, and Rudra...

Fatehlal, Shantaram, and two other men in 1929, also tasted success during this period.

For the large farming community of Punjab, Baisakhi Festival marks the time for harvest of rabi crops and they celebrate the day by performing joyful bhangra and gidda dance. For the Sikh community, Baisakhi Festival has tremendous religious significance as it was on a Baisakhi Day in 1699, that Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru laid the foundation of Panth Khalsa-the Order of the Pure Ones. [pic] Date of Baisakhi Baisakhi Festival falls on the first day of Vaisakh month (April-May) according to Nanakshahi or Sikh Calendar. For this reason, Baisakhi is also popularly known as Vaisakhi. According to English calendar, the date of Baisakhi corresponds to April 13 every year and April 14 once in every 36 years. This difference in Baisakhi dates is due to the fact that day of Baisakhi is reckoned according to solar calendar and not the lunar calendar. The auspicious date of Baisakhi is celebrated all over India under different names and different set of rituals and celebrations. Baisakhi date coincides with 'Rongali Bihu' in Assam, 'Naba Barsha' in Bengal, Puthandu in Tamil Nadu and 'Pooram Vishu' in Kerala.

...THIS IS IN MY VIEWS ARE THE CHANGES THAT HAVE ACTUALLY COME IN THE PRESENT PUNJAB AND THE NEW GENERATION IS ACTUALLY LOSING OUT ON THE RICH CULTURE THAT WE POSSESS!!!!!! PUNJAB CULTURE AND PRESENT SCENARIO CULTURE AND CHANGE The cultural change in any society is one that can’t be avoided. Time and again there has to be instances that are path breaking and lead to the situations that ultimately are the building blocks of a new norm or cultural practice. One can’t remain unperturbed with thedevelopments in the society, whether at superficial or ground level. If one remains static tothese developments, that person is bound to be left behind and labelled as a person sufferingfrom ‘generation gap’ syndrome. PUNJABI CULTURE – THE RICHEST There is nothing more appropriate than to quote first Nobel laureate of India, Rabindra NathTagore, “Similar to Germany in Europe, Tigris – Euphrates valley in Western Asia, Chinese plains in Eastern Asia, our Punjab is one of those tracts on the surface of the earth, where thestreams of history flowed with full vigour. Punjab is that beautiful piece of land on the skiesof which the first day of morn sprouted, in the forests of which sacred hymns echoed for thefirst time, on the surface of which was born the first civilized man of India and on the bosomof which the Indian culture originated.”In fact, the Indus valley civilisation is believed to be older than even the culture of Vedic period. While the Vedic Aryans were rural, the people of this...

...Guru Hagrobind. * Guru Hagrobind is the 6th Master in Sikh Dharma. * Guru Hargobind was born at Wadali village in June 1595 and was the only child of Guru Arjan Dev. * His wives were Mata Damodri Ji, Mata Nanaki Ji, and Mata Mahan Devi Ji. He had five sons and a daughter. * He was invested with the Guruship on May 25th, 1606 just days before his fathers martyrdom. * From a young age he was educated in the sciences, sports and religion as his farther had insisted. * Baba Buddah was responsible for overseeing the Guru’s religious teachings. * During the Guruship ceremony Guru Hargobind respectfully declined to wear the seli (woollen cord worn on the head) which had been passed down on each successive Guru since Guru Nanak. Instead the Guru asked for a sword. * Baba Buddha, never having handled a sword before, placed it on the wrong side of the Guru. * Guru Hargobind noticing this asked for another sword saying “I’ll wear two swords, a sword of Shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).” This is why the guru would always carry two swords to symbolize his dual role of holding secular power (Miri) and spiritual authority. (Piri) * Guru Hargobind laid the foundation of a new temple at Amritsar; the Akal Takht. * The Akal Takht was built facing Harmandir Sahib (the Golden Temple.) * Guru Hargobind had a throne built and would administer Sikh affairs from here. * For 100 years Shikis had developed a deep meditative tradition...

...The course would be a valuable resource to prepare couples for marriage and orient them toward a shared, Sikh-centered life. Because Sikh values, Sikh rituals, and commitment is central to Sikh marriage, therefore a marriage preparation course is required for all intending to marry into the Sikh faith. The course will not demolish Sikh marriage, but rather, keep it active. Firstly, learning the values of Sikhism is important before marrying a true Sikh. The Guru’s (ten spiritual teachers) have created values that a Sikh man or women must follow. The important values are for everyday use. All humans are equal before god-couples should know no discrimination is allowed on the basis of caste, race, sex, creed, etc. As for gender equality, Guru Amar Das ji (3rd teacher) gave woman equal status and equal rights in the society. The man in the relationship needs to know that his wife to-be is and has equal amounts of right. As of then the Sikh women is allowed to lead religious congregations, to take part in continuous recitation of the Holy Scriptures, to perform hymns, to work as priest and to participate freely in all religious activities. Sikhism instructs couples to consider one another to be equal. No one is inferior or superior. Therefore the two individuals ought to respect and share ones interest or concern. Also a value that Sikh must fulfill day and night is to mediate. “Those who meditate on God attain salvation. For them, the cycle of birth and death is...

...Summary of the Case: Pandori, a Khalsa Sikh and teacher with the Peel Board of Education is now not permitted to wear his religiously significant kirpan due to a new no-weapons policy in his school district. The Peel Board made this policy in a response to the uncomfortably increasing number of knife incidents and violence in its schools. Pandori took this case to the Ontario Human Rights Commission which set up an inquiry under the Human Rights Code to investigate. The Board in Inquiry ruled that the school boards policy discriminated against Khalsa Sikhs and allowed Pandori to continue to wear his kirpan if the kirpan could not be easily removed from it sheath. They also found that there were little no incidents of a kirpan being used as a weapon let alone in any Peel school and that other Toronto-area schools allowed students and faculty to wear them. With this the Board of Inquiry ruled that this policy amounted to religious discrimination. The Peel school board argued that the kirpan could be seen as a dangerous weapon by other non-Sikhs and are prohibited in some courtrooms and airplanes. The Peel school board then claims that it is reasonable to impose kirpans to ensure the safety of the school in an entirety and they would not accommodate to the requirements of the Khalsa Sikhs. The Crowns position: The Board in Inquiry ruled that the school boards policy discriminated against Khalsa Sikhs and allowed Pandori to continue to wear his kirpan if the kirpan could not be...

...The way Sikhs dress is very much due to their religion. Men can be identified by the turban, which they wear over their head. The turban is usually made a material called “muslin” which is five metres long. The turban must be worn at all times for Sikh men when he is in public, but can be taken off in the privacy of his own home and when he goes to bed. Sikh women tend to wear Shalwar Kameez which is a long tunic and matching trousers. The reason for this is because women must dress modestly from head to toe. Guru Gobind Singh, the final Guru, gave the Sikhs the symbols of the Khalsa – known as the Panj Kakke or ‘Five K’s’ - so they could all be recognised. The five K’s are worn by all Sikhs who have been baptised. ‘Kesh’ is the long uncut hair symbolising complete devotion to God. ‘Kanga’ is a comb which symbolises discipline. ‘Kacca’ are shorts which symbolise spiritual freedom. The ‘Kara’ is a steel bracelet worn on the right wrist and symbolises strength. Last of all, the ‘Kirpan’ is a sword that symbolises authority and justice. Sikhs (as Hindus also do) see the principle of ahimsa – the intention to avoid negative karmic influences which result from violence - as an integral part of their religion. Sikhs believe meat results in bad tempers, high blood pressures and cancers so many choose to become vegetarians. Jewish men and women are expected to dress modestly at all times as tradition places more emphasis on the soul inside rather than physical features...
