ψ Om Namah Shivaya ψ

Na mitologia hindu, Shiva simboliza a destruição, a renovação, a transformação. É por meio dele que o mundo e todos nós evoluímos, deixando o passado para trás para dar lugar ao novo. Só poderia partir dele, portanto, a criação do yoga, afinal, esta prática conduz à transformação física, mental e emocional, e rumo à evolução espiritual.

Shiva, que significa “auspicioso”, é também conhecido como o

deus supremo (Mahadeva), o pacífico (Shankara) e o benevolente, onde reside toda a alegria (Shambo ou Shambhu). Assim, defende os desprotegidos e conduz os ignorantes à luz.

Shiva tem várias esposas, chamadas shaktis, que representam a força feminina, consideradas o aspecto feminino do deus. Quatro delas se destacam: Parvati, Umma, Durga e Kali. Parvati é a deusa do amor, jovem, bonita, deu à luz a Ganesha, o deus da sabedoria com cabeça de elefante. Umma representa a maternidade, Durga, a justiça e Kali, a morte.

(Last image) George (accompanied by Alexis "Magic Alex" Mardas) signing autographs at the airport prior to his departure, 18 January 1968 (photo courtesy of The Hindu Archives).

“I remember doing it [the film music for Wonderwall] in London at the end of 1967, and then went to Bombay and recorded part of it in a studio there. There was this guy who directed the movie, Wonderwall, called Joe Massot. I don’t know where I met him, but he said he wanted me to do the music to this movie - which didn’t come out until 1969. I said, ‘I don’t know; I haven’t got a guess of how to write music for a movie.’ He said, ‘Aw, we’ve got no budget for the music anyway, so whatever you give me, I’ll have it!’ [...] It gave me a great opportunity. I was getting so into Indian music then that I decided to use the assignment partly as an excuse for a musical anthology to help spread it.” - George Harrison, Musician, November 1987

Did you know...? Near the end of the song “Save The World” on the 1981 album “Somewhere in England,” there is a snippet of Wonderwall Music’s “Crying”: “At the end, I just wanted to let the whole song go out with something sad, to touch that nerve and maybe make you think, ‘Ohhh shit.’ I thought of that instrument I used on Wonderwall Music called the thar-shanhai, which means ‘string’ shanhai. It’s like a one-string fiddle, a bowed instrument with the sympathetic strings resting over a stretched skin, so it has that hollow, echoey resonance, a wailing, crying sound.” - George Harrison, Musician, November 1987 (x)

“So that he’d have something to start with George got his musicians to play one of several thousand alternative ragas. Then he’d change it bit by bit until he had them playing what he wanted. Sometimes he got them doing things they’d never done before and they were delighted. There are no harmonies in Indian music but at one session George got three sitars playing harmonies together and it worked marvellously! One thing we loved about the EMI Bombay studios. They kept a gang of full-time musicians on call. When they were not being used these men would just sit in their own special room playing cards. Sometimes a set-up like this would be very welcome in London. You never know the moment you’re going to want extra musicians at a Beatles’ session! All these studio men were very versatile. They could play any number of instruments – harmonium, banjo, drums, piano – and play them all exceptionally well. Usually George worked with a trio or quartet. A typical line-up might be a sur-bahar (like a bass sitar), a sitar and a santoor (a table harp played with sticks). Or a sitar plus a dilruba (the bowed instrument George used for ‘Within You, Without You’) and a thar-shenhai (a bowed instrument which has a sort of flute attached to amplify the music).” - Mal Evans, The Beatles Book, March 1968 (x)

“It was fantastic really [in India]. The studio is on top of the offices but there’s no sound-proofing. So if you listen closely to some of the Indian tracks on the LP you can hear taxis going by. Every time the offices knocked off at 5.30 we had to stop recording because you could just hear everybody stomping down the steps. They only had a big EMI mono machine. I mixed everything as we did it there, and that was nice enough because you get spoiled working eight and sixteen tracks.” - George Harrison, CD reissue sleeve notes (x)

"Probably the most striking track on Wonderwall Music in terms of future development is 'Dream Scene.’ Opening with swathes of backwards sitar, it drifts into beautiful Indian vocals, apparently hailing from some vintage recording of playback singers. After this interlude, the track gets seriously avant-garde. Discordant piano, slowed down voices and tape loops of sound effects create a disturbing sound melange, which surprisingly presages The Beatles’ free-for-all stoned-athon 'What’s The New Mary Jane’, recorded several months later for the 'White Album’. George as the most way-out of the Fab Four? Here’s the proof.” - Martin O'Gorman, The British Beatles Fan Club (x)

“George made good use of his time [at HMV Studio in Mumbai, India], wrapping up early enough to make additional recordings of other ragas for possible Beatle use – two of which appear as bonus tracks on the CD reissue, ‘Almost Shankara’ and another, which would become ‘The Inner Light.’ Recorded on January 12 [1968] over four takes (with a fifth the following day), the recording features (along with likely players): a harmonium (Desad), taar-shehnai (Vora), sitar (Das), a dholak (a two-headed drum, like the pakavaj) (Desad or Ghosh), flute (S.R. Kenkare, Hari Prasad Chaurasia), and a bul-bul tarang (player unknown, but perhaps Das or Bhattacharya). The latter is the song’s signature plucked string instrument, played by depressing keys, like on a table harp, and picking strings with the other. Again, as Bhaskar Menon described, one can clearly hear George communicating with the musicians as only musicians do, gently guiding them with his ideas.” - Matt Hurwitz, uDiscover Music (x)

“We worked closely on the soundtrack for his album Wonderwall. I organized the Indian musicians and played sitar. I now realize that that album was one of the origins of Indian jazz fusion. I have performed with a number of local jazz musicians in this style since 2005. I suppose I owe it to George for sparking my interest. Otherwise, I see myself mostly as a teacher and ambassador of Indian classical music in Canada. I believe that is why guru Ravi Shankar sent me here.” - Shambhu Das, National Post, 15 November 2010 (x)

L’Ospite è sacro nell’Arte! Un altro mondo è possibile nella Casa degli Artisti a Gallipoli e attraverso l’arte di Giorgio De Cesario. Di Stefano Donno Penso che esista una necessità di allocare l’arte in luoghi dove armonia, gusto e attenzione per i particolari si uniscano alchemicamente in formule che uniscano relax e cultura. Lo esige la godibilità della poiesi estetica, performativa e culturale. Ma soprattutto il luogo deve essere oltre che sentirsi spazio sacro, lontano anni luce dal quotidiano profano e disattento. Ed ecco che qualche giorno fa in occasione della presentazione del lavoro editoriale (uscito per i Quaderni del Bardo Edizioni) di Roberto Shambhu Al di qua delle palpebre, ho avuto modo di entrare in un vero e proprio tempio dell’arte all’ingresso di Gallipoli: il Bed and Breakfast “ La casa degli artisti” di Giorgio e Maria Cristina De Cesario. Una struttura di circa mille metri quadrati dove poter fare, comunicare ed esporre arte a pochi passi dal mare, dal centro storico e dalle vie della movida gallipolina, presso Villa Maritati De Cesario, in una villetta anni ’50 totalmente ristrutturata. La casa museo in cui vive ed opera l’artista Giorgio De Cesario è dotata di tutti i comfort ed attrezzata per accogliere i turisti con la formula del bed & breakfast. Non entrerò nello specifico descrivendo le sorprese artistiche che il posto può offrire, ma devo dire con assoluta sincerità e molto stupore, quanto veramente la Storia dell’Arte e della Letteratura contemporanea mondiale siano narrate con meticolosità e gusto dagli interventi creativi di Giorgio De Cesario: da Leonardo Da Vinci, a Gabriele D’Annunzio, a Vincent Van Gogh. Il Sacro dell’Arte ha trovato il suo posto in questa gigantesca Wunderkammer salentina ormai conosciuta a livello mondiale. Giorgio De Cesario oltre ad essere un ottimo padrone di casa, è un artista che ama provocare con le sue opere come lo attesta l’ultima produzione “Dall’attualità al fantasy – un progetto alienista” dove crea una fitta rete di mito piesi narrative per immagini, che vanno dal tragico caso Scazzi sino al fulmine che colpì il Vaticano quando Papa Ratzinger lasciò il soglio pontificio.

Deep Sidhu blamed for violence at Red Fort: All you want to know about this Punjabi actor

NEW DELHI: Farmer leaders have alleged that Punjabi singer and actor Deep Sidhu instigated protesters and led them to the iconic Red Fort and hoisted flags in the 17th-century monument. Famous for his role as a gangster in the Punjabi film ‘Jora Das Numberia’ in 2018, the 36-year-old was one of the first celebrities to support farmers when they took to the roads against the three laws. Sidhu, who claims to be a supporter of strengthening the federal structure to give more rights to states, has long been openly quoting Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. Last month, the NIA registered a case against Sikhs for Justice and had also issued notices to Sidhu and his brother Mandeep Singh. Considered close to Sikh ideologue Ajmer Singh, Sidhu practised as a lawyer before joining the show business in 2015. Sidhu also did a Facebook live while hoisting the pennant from the ramparts of the Red Fort. In the video, Sidhu said in Punjabi, “We have only hoisted the Nishan Sahib flag on the Red Fort while exercising our democratic right to protest.” Deep Sidhu belong to Muktsar in Punjab and had held a prolonged protest at the Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana, where accusations of Khalistani elements running the protests had been made. During the Lok Sabha elections in May 2019, Deep Sidhu was in the news for being close to Bollywood actor-politician Sunny Deol, who contested from Gurdaspur as a BJP candidate. However, Deol distanced himself from Sidhu in a tweet, saying he or his family had no relationship with him.

आज लाल क़िले पर जो हुआ उसे देख कर मन बहुत दुखी हुआ है, मैं पहले भी, 6 December को ,Twitter के माध्यम से यह साफ कर… https://t.co/X4YBSUmpkL

— Sunny Deol (@iamsunnydeol) 1611679589000

Leaders across the political spectrum condemned the violence and the Red Fort incident, with the Congress’ Shashi Tharoor saying he supported the farmers’ protests from the start but cannot condone “lawlessness”. Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav, who is among the leaders spearheading the agitation against the farm laws, said Sidhu had been disassociated “from our protest right from the beginning”.

It was while in Bombay that [Shambhu Das] was introduced to [George] Harrison, when the British musician came to learn the sitar from [Ravi] Shankar. "I would go to the Taj Mahal Hotel to make him practise the sitar and give a few new lessons, as per Ravi Shankar ji’s instructions. We became good friends and talked a lot about spirituality." His most amusing memory of their time together was when he took Harrison and his then wife, Pattie Boyd, to Varanasi. "They got a little high after drinking thandai, and kept laughing. We had arranged an elephant ride for them, and they just continued laughing through that ride and would not come down," he recalls, adding that their association continued till before Harrison passed away.

The unique position of Lord Shiva ISKCON Desire Tree network's Posts By Purushottam Nitai Das Lord Shiva has a very unique and significant position in the cosmic manifestation. In fact Lord Shiva is the most powerful, second only to Lord Vishnu. Shiva is an expansion of Lord Krishna. Revealed scriptures explain that Krishna has 64 qualities. Lord Brahma posses 78% of these qualities and Lord Shiva possesses 84% of these qualities. Since living entities are also like Brahma so they also possess 78% of these qualities but in lesser extent. None of them possess all 100%. Srila Prabhupada explains, “The living being can never possess attributes like Shiva, Vishnu or Lord Krishna. A living being can become godly by developing the seventy-eight-percent transcendental attributes in fullness, but he can never become a God like Shiva, Vishnu or Krishna. He can become a Brahma in due course: – Srimad Bhagavatam 1.3.28 purport” Lord Shiva has connection with the material nature but Lord Vishnu (or Lord Krishna) is transcendental to material nature. The position of Lord Shiva is very beautiful explained in Brahma – Samhita (Verse 45),”Just as milk is transformed into curd by the action of acids, but yet the effect curd is neither same as, nor different from, its cause, viz., milk, so I adore the primeval Lord Govinda of whom the state of Shambhu is a transformation for the performance of the work of destruction”. The scriptures like Srimad – Bhagavatam, Brahma – samhita, Padma – Purana etc. explains the position of Lord Shiva in this universe. 1. Srimad – Bhagavatam (S.B) (12.13.16) states vaisnavanam yatha sambhu i.e. Lord Shiva is the best of the Vaishnavas, the devotee of Lord Krishna. 2. S.B (6.3.20) informs us that Lord Shiva is one of the 12 Mahajanas, the authorities on Vaisnava philosophy. 3. In S.B 4.24.76, Lord Shiva states that if anyone reads his Rudra geeta prayer then he will invoke the mercy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. 4. Lord Shiva tells his wife that he drank hala hala, the poison which came out during the churning of the ocean, to please Lord Vishnu.(S.B. 8.7.40) 5. In Padma Purana Shiva tells his wife Sati,”sri rama rama rameti rame rame manorame sahasra namah tat tulyam rama nama varanane.” Lord Shiva clearly speaks here that he relishes chanting the names of Lord Rama. 6. Lord Shiva got bewildered when he saw the female form of Lord Vishnu, Mohini Murti. Lord Shiva later reveals that he is unable to completely understand the illusory energy of Lord Krishna. This is stated in S.B. (8.12.10). 7. When Krishna displayed his Universal form then Arjuna said: “My dear Lord Krishna, I see assembled in Your body, all the demigods and various other living entities. I see Brahma sitting on the lotus flower, as well as Lord Shiva and all the sages and divine serpents.” Bhagavad-gita (11.15). 8. During Lord Krishna’s pastimes in Vrindavan, Lord Shiva wanted to participate in the rasa – lila dance along with the cowherd damsels and he desired to become a gopi. (Reference: Self – Manager by H.G. Radheshyam Prabhu, President Iskcon Pune) Braham Samhita (verse 10) clearly establishes that Lord Shiva derives his power from Lord Vishnu, “The person embodying the material causal principle, viz., the great lord of this mundane world [Maheshvara] Shambhu, in the form of the male generating organ, is joined to his female consort, the limited energy [Maya] as the efficient causal principle. The Lord of the world Maha-Vishnu is manifest in him by His subjective portion in the form of His glance.” Lord Shiva is neither an avatara nor avesha and is also not in between them. Lord Shiva is the greatest demigod, even greater than Lord Brahma. He is the spiritual master of the entire universe. He has his own spiritual line (sampradaya) called the Rudra – sampradaya. At present this sampradaya is represented by Vishnusvami-sampradaya, or the Vallabha-sampradaya.

Red Fort raider has been quoting Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale

BATHINDA: Punjabi actor-singer-activist Deep Sidhu, who farmer unions allege was responsible for taking youths towards Red Fort on Tuesday, has been making news from the beginning of the agitation since September last year. Famous for his role as a gangster in the Punjabi film ‘Jora Das Numberia’ in 2018, the 36-year-old was one of the first celebrities to support farmers when they took to the roads against the three laws. Before moving to the protest site at Singhu border, Deep Sidhu, who belongs to Muktsar in Punjab, had held a prolonged protest at Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana, where accusations of Khalistani elements running the protests had been made. During the Lok Sabha elections in May 2019, Deep Sidhu was in the news for being close to Bollywood actor-politician Sunny Deol, who contested from Gurdaspur as a BJP candidate. Deep Sidhu was seen participating in his campaign. However, Deol distanced himself from Sidhu in a tweet, saying he or his family had no relationship with him. A video clip featuring Deep Sidhu raising slogans at the Red Fort has also gone viral since Tuesday afternoon. Later, in a video on his Facebook account, Deep Sidhu said when genuine rights or concerns are not addressed, anger is bound to flare up in any protest. “We cannot accuse any individual for whatever happened. Protests as big as this are not dependent on an individual. We reached Red Fort to symbolically register our protest, to exercise our democratic right and not to challenge the unity and diversity of the country. We have put up Nishan Sahib and Kisan flag on an empty post. The Tricolour was not removed. No one should see it in a communal light. It was part of unity in diversity. Nishan Sahib symbolises the fight against injustice,” it said. He was till recently close to gangster-turned activist Lakha Sidhana who was seen trying to pacify protesting youths on Monday at Singhu border and objected to the route of the rally allowed by the police. Sidhu, who claims to be a supporter of the idea of strengthening the federal structure to give more rights to states, has long been openly quoting Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. The NIA had last month registered a case against Sikhs for Justice and had also issued notices to Sidhu and his brother Mandeep Singh. Considered close to Sikh ideologue Ajmer Singh, Sidhu practised as a lawyer before he joined the show business in 2015.
