Book excerpt: Memories and reflections is exactly what the title says. I recall the memories of the Masquerade at Holiday times like Christmas, the clothes hanging on the line, the Cane starting to burn or the friends who could not come out to play as they were pounding plantain for Foo fu. I even recall the big nipples that were the shape of a hat on a coke bottle full of porridge for the baby and many more of our childhood memories and reflections. Even if you aren't from Guyana, or any other poor country, you will be able to see how we really did have some great fun even with the little that we had in the stories I am happy to share with you here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Reflections" is a series of humorous poems, yet factual in many ways, that captures the historical and cultural aspects of Guyana, a small and beautiful country on the north eastern coastline of South America. While this anthology is primarily based on the experiences of the author living in his homeland, and now in the USA, there is something in it which every Guyanese can relate to, and pass on to their children. Written in simple language and sometimes with a tinge of creole, it is also intended that readers of other cultures learn and appreciate our history, customs and beliefs.

Book excerpt: In brief, Reflections is a collection of nostalgic essays and sketches, wide-ranging in scope, most of which I wrote during my retirement. I tried to provide little vignettes or snapshots of life in the villages and sugar estates of colonial Guyana. I looked back at the social and recreational activities, the Primary School education, and the unique holiday celebrations in the colonial times. Included are reminiscences on teachers of my alumni school, Corentyne High in Guyana, and on teachers of Bryant High, Queens, New York, where I had taught. Shakespeare, whose plays I have greatly admired and enjoyed teaching, receives a glowing tribute on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of his death. Some of the articles look back elegiacally at some of the most treasured things that have fallen victim to progress, for example, the single-screen cinemas, the comics "Classics Illustrated", and the classis All-steel Raleigh Bicycles. -------------- PARIS SINGH was born in Rose Hall Estate, Canje, British Guiana, in 1943. After Primary School at St. Patrick's in Rose Hall, Canje, he moved with his family to Hampshire and attended Corentyne High School, where he graduated in 1962. He taught English, Latin and French there. Then he went to Canada and read Honors English, with a Minor in Latin, at McMaster University, and graduated in 1977. He did his M.A. (English) there in 1978, and his M. Phil. in Renaissance Literature at the University of Waterloo (1979). He went on to specialize in the Renaissance, with emphasis on Milton and Shakespeare, at the University of Ottawa. In New York, Paris taught College-Now English, sponsored by La Guardia College, and English and Latin at Bryant High in Astoria. After forty-two years of teaching, he retired in 2009. He has an enduring interest in Classics, French and History; philately and fencing. He was Fencing Master at Bryant, and won several medals at the New York Empire State Games.

Book excerpt: What is it that makes Guyana such a special place and why has it remained a secret to the rest of the world? The answer may lie in its unique magnificence. Could this be paradise, this land of many waters? The evidence would suggest that it is: Lush rainforests fed by hundreds of rivers and streams; more than one hundred waterfalls; blackwaterlakes and creeks. Many who look at Guyana see only the misguided, external image generated by an over-zealous, ill-informed media and miss the true qualities for which this land of many peoples has become renowned for.

Download or read book Sanatana Dharma and Plantation Hinduism (Second Edition Volume 2) written by Ramesh Gampat and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-01-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian Missionaries worked hard to convert immigrants. Their first order of business was to denigrate Hinduism, designate Hindus as heathen, and disparage their culture, food and even attire. Immigrants stubbornly resisted, led by the tiny educated elite, including Brhmaas whom we call Brahmins. Conversion was a failure at least up to the end of the 19th century but picked up a self-generating momentum thereafter. The result is that the share of Hindus in Guyana’s Indian population declined from 83.5 percent in 1880 to 62.8 percent in 2012. The largest portion of the contraction was lost to Christianity. The loss notwithstanding, even a casual observer would conclude that Guyanese Hindus, at home and in the Diaspora, are a very religious people. Many of us do a jhandi or havan once annually; others do the more elaborate and costlier yajña, where everyone is welcome, once or twice in their lifetime. Most of us do a short daily puja – prayers, offerings, reading the stras and listening to bhajan – in our homes. An important, but perhaps unintended, way immigrants countered conversion to Christianity was an unplanned movement towards a “synthesis” that brought Hindus, regardless of caste or sect, under a “unitary form of Hinduism.” The “synthesis” began around the 1870s and was completed by the 1930s to the 1950s. Guyanese Hindus call the unified corpus of religious beliefs and practices that emerged from the “synthesis” Sanatana Dharma. Ramesh Gampat labels it Plantation Hinduism in this path-breaking book. The book argues that the brand of Hinduism practiced is inconsistent with Sanatana Dharma, called Vednta by the more philosophically inclined. Plantation Hinduism features an extraordinary dependence upon purohits (pandits), which has anaesthetized the Hindu mind and render him unable to think, question and inquire when it comes to Dharma. Rituals and bhakti have been degraded and turned into desire-motivated worship; devats have been misconstrued as Brahman rather than as limited manifestation of the one non-dual pure Consciousness; belief in the multiplicity of gods encourages image worship; and superstitions anchor Guyanese Hindus to tradition and mere belief. Plantation Hinduism is little more than desire-motivated actions, dogmas and superstitions. Absent is the idea that Sanatana Dharma is a spiritual science no less scientific than hard sciences, such as physics and astronomy. The central message of Vednta is the innate divinity of every person and the freedom to realize that divinity through anubhava, direct personal experience of Supreme Reality.
