Beginning on 8 March, 2024, the auspicious day devoted to Lord Shiva, Maha-Shivaratri, was celebrated at the Shree Peetha Nilaya ashram with Paramahamsa Sri Vishwananda and over 1200+ participants. (Despite the challenge of sudden airline cancellations and rail strikes, they persevered and made it in time!)
A full day and night of activities began with the customary outside abhishekam to Hari Bhakta Poorna Shiva in the morning, and a lecture followed in the afternoon. In the evening, the main worship ceremonies consisted of four main abhishekams, which, Guruji explained in His satsang, represented the different aspects of Shiva associated with Vrindavan. Everyone was eligible to offer water for each of these four abhishekams, spaced throughout the night into the morning of the next day, and an energetic seva team organised and gave prasad to everyone after each abhishekam. The entire event was filled with vibrant kirtan to Shiva as well as to Krishna, the One on whom Lord Shiva meditates, and, despite staying up all night, the musicians, singers, and entire crowd kept the temple rocking. The final arati concluded the event after 6 am, after which vibhuti (holy ash) was distributed to everyone.

Handed down form generation to generation the religious art of Santeros is a vibrant and important as it was centuries ago. Before the first English colonists set sail for Jamestowne on 1607, Spanish settlers arrived in northern New Mexico bringing their heritage and culture to this new world -- traditions that still exist today. Devoted to the Saints looks closely at the history, role and inspirational value of the Santos, or little saints, carved from wood and revered through the ages.

"The statuary of the north transept portals is devoted to the Old Testament, and the events leading up to the birth of Christ, with particular emphasis on the Virgin Mary. The glorification of Mary in the center, the incarnation of her son on the left and Old Testament prefigurations and prophecies on the right. One major exception to this scheme is the presence of large statues of St Modesta (a local martyr) and St Potentian on the north west corner of the porch, close to a small doorway where pilgrims visiting the crypt (where their relics were stored) would once have emerged."

"Chartres Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (French: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres), is a Roman Catholic church in Chartres, France, about 80 km (50 miles) southwest of Paris, and is the seat of the Bishop of Chartres. Mostly constructed between 1194 and 1220, it stands at the site of at least five cathedrals that have occupied the site since the Diocese of Chartres was formed as an episcopal see in the 4th century. It is in the High Gothic and Romanesque styles.
"The cathedral was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, which called it 'the high point of French Gothic art' and a 'masterpiece'.
"The cathedral is well-preserved and well-restored: the majority of the original stained glass windows survive intact, while the architecture has seen only minor changes since the early 13th century. The building's exterior is dominated by heavy flying buttresses which allowed the architects to increase the window size significantly, while the west end is dominated by two contrasting spires – a 105-metre (349 ft) plain pyramid completed around 1160 and a 113-metre (377 ft) early 16th-century Flamboyant spire on top of an older tower. Equally notable are the three great façades, each adorned with hundreds of sculpted figures illustrating key theological themes and narratives.
"Since at least the 12th century the cathedral has been an important destination for travellers. It remains so to the present, attracting large numbers of Christian pilgrims, many of whom come to venerate its famous relic, the Sancta Camisa, said to be the tunic worn by the Virgin Mary at Christ's birth, as well as large numbers of secular tourists who come to admire the cathedral's architecture and historical merit.

A Vaishnav usually apply tilak using sandalwood in 2 vertical lines, which connect near the bridge of the nose to form a U shape called urdhva pundra where U is commonly seen as the footprint of Vishnu. I shot her face from a distance when she started looking for people she would smear the symbol on…& then she found me 😊

Saturday was devoted to touring distilleries, tracing a bourbon trail that several readers had enthusiastically endorsed. The first was Heaven Hill Distilleries Bourbon Heritage Center (1311 Gilkey Run Road, 502-337-1000, www.bourbonheritagecenter.com), which offers free tours of a seven-story warehouse, where rack upon rack of barrels perfume the air with a luscious scent known as the “angels’ share.” The highlight, of course, was the tasting, held in a domed, light-filled room.

Tellus Science Museum occupies more than 125,000 square feet and features galleries devoted to minerals, fossils, transportation technology, and hands-on science experiences.
The 120-seat digital Planetarium hosts a variety of astronomy programs, stargazing events, and family activities and 45-minute shows are shown throughout each day. The Weinman Mineral Gallery showcases one of the largest, most comprehensive collections in the Southeast, with more than 4,000 rocks, gems and minerals on display.
Tellus is a Latin word meaning "Earth" and may refer to Tellus Mater or Terra Mater, the ancient Roman earth mother goddess, and is also an alternative name for the planet Earth, often used in the science fiction genre (e.g. the books of E. E. Smith).
Tellus is an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. The museum is open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM closing only on major holidays.
The Fossil Gallery features Stan, a 40-foot Tyrannosaurus rex along with other dinosaurs and fossils, allowing visitors to trace the history of life on Earth.
Collins Family My Big Back Yard offers hands-on science exhibits introducing concepts from the physical and life sciences through backyard science experiences.
Science of Motion allows visitors to re-live major developments in science and technology related to automobiles, aircraft, and space travel.

The Providence Home Geode Grotto in Jasper shows how one devoted designer went kind of wild with local materials. Rock gardens and grottos are a long-standing Roman Catholic tradition, especially in Europe. Religious shrines dot the U.S. map, too, often tucked away in lesser-known locales.
Father Phillip Ottavi of the Sons of Divine Providence became director of St. Joseph’s Providence Home, a care facility for mentally disabled men, in 1953. He conceived the notion of creating something spiritual and beautiful on the site of the home’s demolished handball court. An Italian immigrant, Ottavi based his plan on the famous Grotto of Lourdes in France.
When a colleague discovered a large supply of geodes in a creek nearby, Ottavi had his grotto material. Rough on the outside and beautiful on the inside, geodes presented a nearly perfect representation of man’s body and soul.
Working with a crew of Providence Home residents, over a span of ten years Father Ottavi constructed a spectacular rock garden covering four city blocks along Bartley Street. “No blueprints, just inspiration,” one builder recalled.

I have been to Jerusalem in May 2009 for the purpose of a scientific historical research that was devoted to international politics in the Middle East. After spending a month in Jerusalem, visiting archives and a library, historical places and strolling along the streets, I got acquainted with the unique atmosphere of this ancient city. Jerusalem is a city of three world religions, a city where everything seems familiar and native, it is very cozy and benevolent. For those who are familiar with biblical stories, the city seems to be an animated historical book, the city of kings and prophets, a city that has gone through history and conquered time itself. Jerusalem is situated on the hills, in the beginning of May the weather turned out to be quite cool, a strong spring wind blew from the desert, but then the hot Middle Eastern weather was established. The heat in Jerusalem is not like one in the plains or on the coast of the country, here it gets dark very early, which is unusual for the summer months in Russia. I lived in a small hotel in the center of the city and got the opportunity to go for a walk on the historical center and the Old City. The streets of the city are full of visitors and tourists from all over the world, many languages are heard here. Quiet and benevolent atmosphere. This city has a special soul. This is exactly the impression that Jerusalem made on me.
Living in Jerusalem, I visited other places in Israel: Galilee and the Mediterranean coast.

Sono stato a Gerusalemme nel maggio 2009 per lo scopo di una ricerca storica scientifica dedicata alla politica internazionale in Medio Oriente. Dopo aver trascorso un mese a Gerusalemme, visitando archivi e la biblioteca, luoghi storici, solamente passeggiando per le vie di Gerusalemme, ho conosciuto l'atmosfera unica di questa antica città. Gerusalemme è una città di tre religioni del mondo più diffuse, una città dove tutto sembra familiare e “nativo”, è molto accogliente e benevolo. Per chi ha familiarità con le storie bibliche, la città sembra essere un libro storico animato, la città dei re e dei profeti, una città che ha passato attraverso la storia e ha conquistato il tempo stesso. Gerusalemme è situata sulle colline, all'inizio di maggio il tempo si è rivelato piuttosto fresco, un forte vento primaverile ha soffiato dal deserto, ma poi è stato stabilito il caldo di Medio Oriente. Il caldo a Gerusalemme non è come quello nelle pianure o sulla costa del paese, in Israele fa buio molto presto, una cosa insolita per i mesi estivi in Russia. Ho vissuto in un piccolo hotel nel centro della città e ho avuto l'opportunità di fare molte passeggiate nel centro storico e nella Città Vecchia di Gerusalemme. Le strade della città sono piene di visitatori e turisti da tutto il mondo, qui si parlano molte lingue. Atmosfera tranquilla e benevola. Questa città ha un'anima speciale. Questa è una buonissima impressione che Gerusalemme ha lasciato su di me.
Vivendo a Gerusalemme, ho visitato altri luoghi in Israele: Galilea e la costa mediterranea.

This temple is devoted to the Na Bang Chang family. Originally, this was the house of King Rama II's mother. The chapel as well as the anitques inside the temple include beautiful art work and architecture from the early Rattanakosin period.
It used to be a residential palace of Queen Amarindaramas, the Queen of King Rama I and also the birth place of King Rama II. Later, Queen Amarindaramas renovated as a temple in dedication to her mother, Phra Siri Sophak Mahanak Naree. The Ubosoth is in early Ratanakosin style (19th Century A.D.). The statue of King Rama II is also situated here.

Within an entire bookcase devoted only to geology books. SEE! IT'S NOT JUST ME, PEOPLE.
But beyond that, look at how freaking huge that MSH book is, and it's only about the 1980 eruptions (minor eruptions leading up to the May 18 cataclysm, plus smaller lava-dome-building eruptions in the months after)! It was roughly 12" tall and 2" wide...I actually almost bought it, but wised up at the last minute.
An entire room devoted to a very high quality aerial view of the city, combined with a 3D model of the city centre.
STAM - Stadsmuseum Gent - Ghent City Museum - the Story of Ghent
The museum idsplays the city's history and opened its doors on 9 October 2010.
With respect to the collection that is shown, the history of this museum goes back to 1833, the year in which the Oudheidkundig Museum van de Bijloke in Ghent was founded. In 1928 the museum was situated in the Bijloke abbey - this led to the name Bijlokemuseum.
With the Bijloke collection as base and the Bijloke abbey and Bijloke monastery as buildings, the STAM functions as a modern-day heritage forum. Parts from other collections were added to the Bijloke collection. In connection to the historical buildings a new entrance building was constructed, designed by Ghent's city architect Koen Van Nieuwenhuyse.
