...Contemporary Issues in Eastern Religions Contemporary Issues in Eastern Religions Shinto, “way of the gods”, is one of the two major religions in Japan besides Buddhism. There was no name for the religion up until Buddhism came from China;” there was no need to name the religion that was already present—it was simply what everyone did (Molloy, 2010).” Shintoism is known as the nature religion, however, it’s not just that it focuses on worshiping spirits, mostly the spirits of departed family members, and gods. There are numerous rituals that are carried out diligently to connect the people of Japan to their ancient ancestors and past. There are numerous public shrines all throughout Japan for devoted people to worship multiple gods. Though many of the nature based religions have slowly died out over the course of thousands of years, however, Shintoism has done no such thing. The Shinto religion has not only retained its connection to nature but also to shamanism and mysterious healing techniques. They show homage to the shrines that can be found situated in between skyscrapers. There are no known founder of the Shinto religion. It is believed to have been founded to in 660 BC according to the Japanese origin myth, though the first practices and ritual were not recorded until the eighth century in what is known as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. According to the Kojiki, in the beginning there was a primeval chaos, which populated many deities called kami. “Of those kami there...

...Banking Power-Pack – June 2015 BANKING - 2015 JUNE June 1 • IRDAI removes cap on business from one insurer for banks. IRDAI has done away with the capping of insurance business from one insurer by a bank in its latest draft. As compared to the previous draft that mandated banks to cap business from one insurer to 50%, IRDAI has removed this cap. This would mean that those insurers without a bank partner or promoter would still have to wait longer to get business from bancassurance. The regulator has said that an insurer can have tie-ups with up to three insurers in any line of business-life, non-life or health. Background Presently, banks are allowed to tie-up as a corporate agent with one life, one non-life and one standalone health insurer. Hence, insurers who entered the market later did not have any bank partner. • FinMin, RBI set up panel on reducing cash transactions. To reduce cash transactions in the economy and boost the usage of cards and point of sales (PoS) terminals, the Union finance ministry and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have set up a committee to look at ways to encourage use of plastic money. The committee has representatives from National Payments Corporation of India, State Bank of India and ICICI Bank. Background RBI data at the end of December 2014 showed 1.05 million PoS machines in the country, whereas there are over 500 mn debit cards and at least 20 mn credit cards. In 2013-14, according to a Boston Consulting Group report, the number of cash...

According to ancient Vedic texts (and later through Tantric and Taoist traditions), the energetic, or subtle, body is the foundation of the food, or coarse body, and the bridge between the physical and causal realms. Therefore, the structure of the subtle energetic body provides an intended means for human spiritual development, or evolution (which enables humanity to fulfill its purpose as a conduit between heaven and earth, hence transforming into an entity more subtle, and original). The text’s primary purpose is to present oriental bio-energetic theory, and second, to bridge...
