Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding West African Vodun begins with knowledge. West African Vodun explores and explains this often-misunderstood religion. It invites readers to open their eyes and their minds to what Vodun is, where and why began, and how it’s practiced. You may think you know everything you need to know because you’ve seen Hollywood’s interpretation of these spiritual practices, but this book proves those theories, misconceptions, artistic licenses, and theories wrong. Inside, you’ll discover: Vodun’s early days and how it plays a pivotal role in how it’s practiced now How and why it’s been mis-characterized How to practice it properly Who the deities are and why they’re honored Who the Priestesses are and why they are held to such esteem And more! Finally learn how Vodun, Hindu, Shango, Jesus and the Buddha are far more alike than you may think and understand what role slavery and slaves play in this religion and why it should matter to you.

Download or read book Hindu Gods in West Africa written by Albert Wuaku and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-07-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hindu Gods in West Africa, Wuaku offers an account of the histories, beliefs and practices of the Hindu Monastery of Africa and the Radha Govinda Temple, two Hindu Temples in Ghana. Using historical material and data from his field work in southern Ghana, Wuaku shows how these two Hindu Temples build their traditions on popular Ghanaian religious notions about the powerful magicality of India's Hindu gods. He explores how Ghanaian soldiers who served in the colonial armies in India, Sri Lanka, and Burma during World War II, Bollywood films, and local magicians, have contributed to the production and the spreading of these cultural ideas. He argues that while Ghanaian worshippers appropriated and deployed the alien Hindu religious world through their own cultural ideas, as they engage Hindu beliefs and rituals in negotiating challenges their own worldviews would change considerably.
