Commercial Hinduism - Degradation of our Gods and Goddesses
In India, Hinduism is denigrated systematically by various social groups, institutions, political parties, ideologies and irreverent critics. Prominent among them is the Indian Television industry itself, which uses Hinduism to exploit Hindu sentiments without any consideration for the values the tradition upholds. Many television serials are produced, depicting Hindu themes and stories from the epics and the Puranas, in the country by people who have little knowledge of Hinduism and scant respect for its tenets.

Symbolism of the Body in Hindu Scriptures
FThe most common word used to refer to the body in Sanskrit is deha or deham. De means to protect and aham means the Self. Deham, thus, means that which protects an individual Self. The physical body not only protects the Self but also assists it in various ways during its continuation upon earth as a bound soul (baddha). The alternative word in Sanskrit for the body is sarira, which also means body, probably coined from the root word, sarah, meaning five, to denote its composition of five elements.

Lessons from the Katha Upanishad - Part 1
The Katha Upanishad is an important conversation between Naciketas, a young man and Yama, the Lord of Death. According to the Upanishad, Naciketas was sacrificed by his father Vajasravas in a fit of anger and upon dying, he went to the world of Yama and waited there for three days. When Lord Yama came to know about this, he felt greatly concerned as he made a pious Brahmana boy, pure and innocent, wait in his house for three days without receiving the honors due to a house guest. Lord Yama did not consider Naciketas a sinner, but a pious soul worthy of honor and respect.
