Week 12: famous last words

This week was pure chaos. The Spanish II test ,which i felt the most prepared for, mad me so mad. Everyone in the class knew their stuff and we have a great teacher. However, The directions for the exam did not make sense, I could make out what they were saying but it did not make sense. The whole class agreed with this. The professor even showed us, who makes the test and to email them after class. On friday, I had my molecular the test. I came unprepared but I left super confident on the test. I thought it was funny how my "easy test" was actually the hard one and vice versa. Its is crazy hwo life works out sometimes. Diwali night was last saturday and I worked Thursday night , Friday night, and Saturday morning. IT was hard driving back and forth from  OKC and Norman but the dance went well. We somehow manage to get the whole dance down. Since we the last dance, we had to finish it off with a bang. I barley had any sleep so right the diwali night I had to crash at my friends apartment. I ended skipping church and then going to work

Week 12: reading feedback

 I loved this weeks reading.  It really made everything clear. I really do feel that this would be a great reading for the begjning of class. It came with a reading which helped alot. Each video was about 10 to 15 mintues long and there was multiple videos. I jogged while listenong to them instead of watching them and read the reading. It was truly my favorte read of the semester.

week 12: story telling

Once upon a time, there existed a small village. This village was same as any village. The village itself was only about one hundred people big. It had its farmers, warriors, husbands and wives just like any other place. However, this village had a deep dark secret that never let it prosper. Deep in the jungles next to the village live countless of demons. The warriors of this village grew strong and slayed almost every demon they came upon. Even though these men were swift and power, there was one demon they could not beat. The demon known as Raftel was being made of pure evil. The demon stood at seven feet tall and had human like form only stained in the blackest of black. The first thing you would see would be its piercing red eyes followed by malicious looking smile brought upon by it never ending appetite.  It sought nothing more to kill whether it was women or children. Warriors from different villages and cities would come by to challenge the demon but none of them would return. What made Raftel different from the others was not his strength or magical powers but his sheer speed. It has always been said that the demon could behead a man from a hundred meters away before the man noticed Raftel moved. there was one thing stopped this village getting slaughter. Where ever raftel came from he brought alone his hubris. He demanded that the village had two choices every month. They could offer one child as sacrifice or bring a warrior who could entertain Raftel. Years went by as Raftel stood undefeated and many mothers lost there children. However one fateful day a man arrived named  Khandoba. The man was renown across all small villages in the area because of his swordsmanship and unyielding tenacity.  Just by looking at him, you knew he was different from everyone else. The man was stronger than elephant and  Khandoba was the faster than the blink of an eye. Only armed with a shield and sword, He made his way into the dense jungle. "Raftel, Where are you! If you would like to meet your end meet me face to face," yelled  Khandoba. In seconds notice Raftel appeared inches away from  Khandoba's face with his piercing red eyes and his devious smile.   Khandoba did not flinch, he stood their strong glaring back at Raftel. They both jumped back as  Khandoba began drawing his sword. "Come..." spoke Raftel in a deep echoing voice.  Khandoba stroke first but Raftel defended him with his claws. Sparks shot out illuminating the jungle, as the blade touched his claws. clashing of metal on metal could be heard from the village. Fight lasted for hours. It was then did Khandoba managed to cut off one of Raftels arm. Once he was disarmed Raftel stood no chance.  Khandoba moved quick and swift as a gust of wind beheading Raftel in one stroke.

Week 12: reading diary B

http://iereadingguides.blogspot.com/2014/10/reading-guide-pattanaik-week-1-videos.html

Last reading diary I said that these videos expound upon the religion which could made the epics a lot easier to understand. In Hinduism god is always limited to one form the idea of god is expressed through everything. It also within the form of three human couples: Brahma and Saraswati, Vishu and Lakshmi, and Shiva and Shakti. The males in these couples represent creation, sustaination, and destruction. It also signifies the you as an individual also known as the "observer".  While there wives represent wealth, knowledge, and power.  the wives also symbolize the observation. The Goddess Maya represents the absence of judgement and she looks at everyone on an equal plane. Man is a symbol for spiritual reality and women are the symbol for material reality. Spirituality reality is incomplete without material reality and vise versa. In the next video, it began the discussion over Shiva. Though Shiva is the god of destruction more specifically she is the destroyer of desire, death, and the three worlds.The goddess Kali helps Shiva opens his third eye so he does not destroy.  She therefore resurrects life and earth continue the cycle of rebirth that Shiva would of destroyed. The rest of the video informs us about his wife,Sati, and son, Kartikeya. One question I have above this reading is what are the three worlds? I have a couple of Ideas like karma and dharma or life, death , and rebirth.

Week 12: reading diary A

This week I decided to change my reading and make it about the Pattanaik. Videos. Even though  im jndian, i dont  know much about hinduism since i grew up as a christian. I dod know that the names of mahor gods like krishna, vishnu, and shiva. I dof jot know that shiva was consider the GOD while others are considered lesser gods.thwre are also doeties consider local gods like kandiva who is a local god of shiva.  Ganesha is also know as a god that hindus aspire towards cause the represents power nd a good life. These videos also showed basic ideas of hinduism.  I never thought avout it but hinduism onw of the only religion that believes in reincarnation.  This causes the sense of urgency that christians, myslims, and hebrews face is absent. I noticed that another hudge topic w a s the talk about creation and desctuction. Hindus believe in a cycle so when death does unfortunatly occur it is not the end. However, it is the sign thatmarks the begining of the cycle. They give a good metapjot they say we thing death as perod in a sentence while hindusism thinks of death as a comma in a sentence. This video is amazing. It gives alot information about the hindu gods snd goddeses. Truthfully speaking, this reading wouldgreat for a week 1 reading because it inteoduces you to all the gods. This would make the characters in ramayana and mahabharata  a lot less confusing and lot easier to understand.
