Beschreibung

Winter Solstice Customs examines the diverse and profound significance of winter solstice celebrations across cultures, especially in Europe and Asia. It highlights how these traditions, deeply rooted in history and social science, reflect humanity's fundamental need to understand the natural world and foster community. These celebrations are not just remnants of the past; they are dynamic expressions that have evolved over time. Did you know that some cultures viewed the solstice as a time of death and rebirth, while others emphasized communal feasting to reinforce social bonds during the harsh winter months? The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, blending historical analysis with anthropological insights to explore the astronomical understanding, social significance, and evolution of solstice customs. It draws on ethnographic accounts, historical texts, and even archaeological findings to paint a comprehensive picture. The structure systematically unfolds, starting with the astronomical and cultural context before delving into specific European customs like ancient Roman Saturnalia and Asian traditions such as the Chinese Dongzhi Festival. The book concludes by synthesizing these findings, offering a deeper understanding of the enduring appeal and core human values reflected in winter solstice celebrations.

    Cokie Roberts's #1 New York Times bestseller We Are Our Mothers Daughters examined the nature of women's roles throughout history and led USA Today to praise her as a ""custodian of time-honored values."" Her second bestseller, From This Day Forward, written with her husband, Steve Roberts, described American marriages throughout history. Now Cokie returns with Founding Mothers, an intimate look at the passionate women whose tireless pursuits on behalf of their families and country proved just as crucial to the forging of a new nation as the rebellion that established it. 
    Roberts reveals the often surprising stories of these fascinating women, bringing to life the everyday trials of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Eliza Pinckney, Mary Bartlett and Martha Washington -- proving that without our exemplary women, the new country might have never survived. 
    Social history at its best, Founding Mothers unveils the determination, creative insight and passion of the other patriots, the women who raised our nation. Cokie Roberts proves beyond doubt that like every generation of American women that has followed, the founding mothers used the unique gifts of their gender -- courage, pluck, sadness, joy, energy, grace, sensitivity and humor -- to do what women do best, put one foot in front of the other in remarkable circumstances, and carry on.

    "I bow to the Hanuman who is swifter than the mind and wind. The sacred one who has controlled his senses, the one who is the epitome of learning and wisdom. Salutations to the son of the God of Air and chief of the Vanaras, I pray always to Lord Hanuman." 
     
    The Hanuman Chalisa is a Vedic devotional hymn in praise of Hanuman authored by the poet sage Tulsi Das. The word "chālīsā" means the number forty in Sanskrit, as the Hanuman Chalisa has forty verses. Lord Hanuman is a great devotee of Sri Ram and one of the central characters in the epic, Ramayan. Hanuman is also an incarnation of Shiva. The qualities of Hanuman – his strength, courage, wisdom, celibacy, devotion to Lord Ram, and the many names by which he is known are all in the Hanuman Chalisa. Devotional recitation of this sacred prayer is done by millions every day. 
     
    Hanumanji is the greatest devotee of Sri Ram and an incarnation of the mighty Lord Shiva. He is therefore the epitome of ultimate devotion manifested with its full glory unchallenged in all times and places. By the power of his devotion to Sita Ram, he easily achieved supreme status as the perfect devotee and servitor. Lord Hanuman is the eternal link between all devotees and Ram whom he serves, inspires, and protects. By honoring Hanuman one is blessed with all kinds of siddhis including power, valor, prosperity, and devotion.
