Brahminical Gulabjaam: Cultural Critique of a Film

Brahminical Gulabjaam: Cultural Critique of a Film: This article offers a cultural critique of a Marathi film, Gulabjaam, from an anti-caste and anti-Brahminical perspective. It looks at the film as a new attempt in strengthening cultural dominance of a caste and city identity. Everyday political discourse in current times is not restricted to simply differentiating vegetarian from non-vegetarian foods. Rather, it is activated to ascribe goodness and badness of character in people who eat them and further, to determine their place as citizens in the Hindu national project.

MELCHIZEDEK - King of Salem - Earth's Hero! Part 7: Lao Tse, Confucius, Buddha 09/29 by The Cosmic Citizen | Spirituality Podcasts

MELCHIZEDEK - King of Salem - Earth's Hero! Part 7: Lao Tse, Confucius, Buddha 09/29 by The Cosmic Citizen | Spirituality Podcasts: We're deeply engaged in a fascinating study of Melchizedek, the Third Epochal Revelation of God to our world. We've learned that Melchizedek came to earth on an emergency mission to rekindle the light of truth on Urantia. He thoroughly trained his messengers and dispatched them to the four corners of earth from Salem, now Jerusalem. These extraordinary papers examine how his teachings spread and recount the profound effect Melchizedek had on our world. This week we dive deeper into his influence in China and India as we discuss great teachers of the past like Lao Tse, Confucius, and Buddha. The UB says this about these great teachers of truth: Lao Tse: 94:6.4 Lao-tse also made one of the earliest presentations of the doctrine of returning good for evil: ?Goodness begets goodness, but to the one who is truly good, evil also begets goodness.? Confucius: 94:6.9 Confucius (Kung Fu-tze) was a younger contemporary of Lao in sixth-century China. Confucius based his doctrines upon the better moral traditions of the long history of the yellow race, and he was also somewhat influenced by the lingering traditions of the Salem missionaries. His chief work consisted in the compilation of the wise sayings of ancient philosophers. He was a rejected teacher during his lifetime, but his writings and teachings have ever since exerted a great influence in China and Japan. Buddha: 94:7.5 At Benares Gautama founded his school, and it was during its second year that a pu...

MELCHIZEDEK - King of Salem - Earth's Hero! Part 8: Gautama Siddhartha (Buddha) 10/06 by The Cosmic Citizen | Spirituality Podcasts

MELCHIZEDEK - King of Salem - Earth's Hero! Part 8: Gautama Siddhartha (Buddha) 10/06 by The Cosmic Citizen | Spirituality Podcasts: Melchizedek is counted in the Bible, Hebrews 7:3, as one, 'Without father or mother or genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God, he remains a priest for all time.' Melchizedek lived and taught on earth for 94 years. Urantia Papers 93-98 are devoted to Melchizedek with Papers 96 and 97 treating the Hebrew religion's evolution--the world religion most heavily influenced, at least initiated, by his teachings. We're deeply engaged in a fascinating study of Melchizedek, the Third Epochal Revelation of God to our world. We've learned that Melchizedek came to earth on an emergency mission to rekindle the light of truth on Urantia. He thoroughly trained his messengers and dispatched them to the four corners of earth from Salem, now Jerusalem. These extraordinary papers examine how his teachings spread and recount the profound effect Melchizedek had on our world. We will continue to follow this with a study of Gautama Siddhartha aka Buddha and the subsequent fostering, teaching, and spreading of a new religion, Buddhism. UB 94:8.2 Buddhism took origin in a historic person, not in a myth. Gautama's followers called him Sasta, meaning master or teacher. While he made no superhuman claims for either himself or his teachings, his disciples early began to call him the enlightened one,the Buddha; later on, Sakyamuni Buddha. 94:7.2 ...Siddhartha made a determined but unavailing fight against the growing caste system. There was a lofty%...
