Beschreibung

Tungabhadra Holy Waters explores the profound link between the Tungabhadra River and the cultural, religious, and historical identity of South India. The book examines the river not just as a geographical feature, but as a central figure in shaping the region's heritage. Discover how the Tungabhadra is deeply embedded in Hindu cosmology, linked to deities like Lord Shiva and Vishnu, and how it features prominently in Indian epics. The book uniquely positions the river as a symbol of continuity, faith, and historical identity.

 
The book unfolds in three parts, beginning with the river's geography and historical context, then moves into its religious significance, and concludes with its historical impact on empires like the Vijayanagara Empire, whose capital Hampi thrived on its banks. By drawing upon religious texts, historical chronicles, and archaeological findings, the book offers a holistic view, integrating historical, religious, and ecological perspectives, advocating for the river's preservation as a vital component of India's cultural heritage and addressing the pressing need for environmental conservation.

The Varieties of Religious...

William James

There can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric. I speak not now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. It would profit us little to study this second-hand religious life. We must make search rather for the original experiences which were the pattern-setters to all this mass of suggested feeling and imitated conduct. These experiences we can only find in individuals for whom religion exists not as a dull habit, but as an acute fever rather. But such individuals are "geniuses" in the religious line; and like many other geniuses who have brought forth fruits effective enough for commemoration in the pages of biography, such religious geniuses have often shown symptoms of nervous instability. Even more perhaps than other kinds of genius, religious leaders have been subject to abnormal psychical visitations. Invariably they have been creatures of exalted emotional sensibility. Often they have led a discordant inner life, and had melancholy during a part of their career. They have known no measure, been liable to obsessions and fixed ideas; and frequently they have fallen into trances, heard voices, seen visions, and presented all sorts of peculiarities which are ordinarily classed as pathological. Often, moreover, these pathological features in their career have helped to give them their religious authority and influence.

Was Jesus Christ Crazy?

Frédéric Joy

By definition, from an atheist point of view, Jesus cannot be considered as the son of God. Therefore, some of his statements, reported in the Gospels, appear to be particularly insane. Let us quote:

•"The Father is in me and I am in the Father."
•"I am the bread of life that comes down from heaven."
•"He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life."

A first question arises: what was the psychic illness of the one who uttered such words? Based on the Gospels, the author follows Jesus in his daily life, in his actions and words. This investigation reveals Jesus' pathologies: schizophrenia (he withdraws from the world and builds another one in its place), anal character (a stage of infantile development characterized by a binary Manicheism; let us remember that "he who is not with me is against me," and an extreme concern for order), aggressive paranoia. Finally, Jesus can be diagnosed clinically as a "mega-paranoid," i.e., a paranoid producing mythical projections.

Jesus was phenomenally successful during his lifetime and over the centuries. At this point, another question arises: How did he manage to convince the crowds? For the author, the mythical projections of Jesus came to speak directly to the unconscious of the crowds. The obsessive neuroses present in this collective and individual unconscious were channeled into the promises of Jesus who assured, in exchange for belief in his person, purification, eternal life, and social reversal. The key to the success of Jesus would thus reside in a fortuitous meeting between structures of the unconscious. These structures remaining identical through time explains the timeless success of Christianity.

With humor and erudition, Frédéric Joi offers us a rational explanation of mass religious behavior that he does not hesitate to bring closer to the contemporary political field and the concept of crowd manipulation. To conclude his essay, he proposes, in the form of a questionnaire, to test the capacity of each one to be a prophet!
