Book Synopsis Veneration to the Elders by : D.A. Shankar
Download or read book Veneration to the Elders written by D.A. Shankar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Śivakōṭyācārya’s Vaḍḍārādhane (Veneration to the Elders) is the earliest extant prose work in Kannada language written by Śivakōṭyācārya during 940 CE. This classical text reflects the oral tradition of narrating stories of legendary religious ascetics based on the gāhās which were taken from Bhagavatī Ārādhanā. This is a peculiar but commendable way of presenting stories of the senior and respectable ascetics combining oral and written styles of narration. Thus, Vaḍḍārādhane stands as an excellent example for an ancient classical text, fit for linguistic and cultural study. Each story in this collection, is wonderful in its own way. Generally, religious stories do not evoke interest but present a series of dull events. However, this text is full of incidents depicting human values, ways of wicked people, self-imposed vows, violence and non-violence and human life with all types of experiences. Another distinguishing feature of Vaḍḍārādhane is that there is not a whiff of intolerance towards other religions or faiths or sects and this is most remarkable when we recall that most of our early writings indulge in belittling doctrines of faiths other than their own. This positive attitude, in a sense, makes this religious text absolutely liberal and almost secular. Vaḍḍārādhane is now rendered into contemporary English by a team of writers and linguists.

Book Synopsis Explaining the Practice of Elevating an Ancestor for Veneration by : George Shakwelele
Download or read book Explaining the Practice of Elevating an Ancestor for Veneration written by George Shakwelele and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bisa people of Nabwalya, Zambia love their culture and gladly celebrate all their traditional festivals. This book presents exciting research into Kusefya pa ngena, rituals through which the Bisa elect ancestors for veneration. The Bisa speak freely of how their belief in ancestor veneration does not conflict with their worship of God. For them, the two work hand in hand. Traditional practices are considered vital to the community because they enhance life, reinforce cultural values, and explain life events. Those questioned said ancestor veneration should continue because it benefits current and future generations. For example, their most celebrated ancestor, Kabuswe Yombwe, when petitioned, provides rain and a good harvest for the community. People affirmed that rain fell each time they petitioned Kabuswe. One woman, who is married to an elder in a Pentecostal church, vowed not to give up ancestor veneration, to which she attributed the healing of her son and daughter. She pledged her allegiance to both Jesus Christ and to her family's ancestors. In another story, an ancestor appears in a dream to an expectant woman demanding that her child be given a feminine name. The mother obeys to avoid the child being born with a sickness . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse on the Official Relations of New Testament Elders Frequent reference is made both in the Old and the new testaments to the elders of the Jews; from whose ecclesiasti cal constitution both the title and the omce appear to have been derived, and thence transferred to the new dis pensation. God had consecrated the family of Aaron and the tribe of Levi for official service under the mosaic econo my. But then they were priests, and their concern was with the temple and the altar. The temple was at J erusao lem; there sacrifices were od'ored, and the whole ritual was presented in' full and distinct form. But all the Jews did not live in Jerusalem, neither were sacrifices the only acts of religious worship they were required to render. They had secial ordinances of a much more limited character, and suited to the circumstances of their local situation. In ad, dition to the temple, synagogues were erected throughout Judea; - they were to be found in every town and village, or wherever a regular assembly Of convenient size could be collected. In these synagogues prayer and praise were Of fered up, and the scriptures were read and expounded, -rev ligious services, which, you know, characterize the worship of believers in the new testament church.
