The Art of Living. Un mouvement indien au-delà des clivages religieux ?
No full textInternational audienceThe Art of Living (TAOL) is a new religious movement whose popularity has not ceased to grow in the whole Indian sub-continent, and beyond. Founded and carried out by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the movement promotes a spirituality accessible to all, based on simplified yogic practices and a philosophical teaching of neo-vedantic inspiration. Thus, the guru intends to join together a transnational community around a universal spirituality, transcending individual religious backgrounds. In order to understand the motivating forces behind the international success encountered by TAOL, the author goes back over the genesis of the movement and focuses on the various strategies which govern its community development, be it in its Indian context of birth, or on a world-wide scale.The Art of Living (TAOL) est un nouveau mouvement religieux dont la popularité ne cesse de croître dans l'ensemble du sous-continent indien et au-delà. Fondé et mené par Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, le mouvement promeut une spiritualité accessible à tous, basée sur des pratiques yogiques simplifiées et un enseignement philosophique d'inspiration néo-védântique. Le guru entend ainsi réunir une communauté transnationale autour d'une spiritualité à vocation universelle, transcendant les appartenances culturelles et religieuses individuelles. Afin de comprendre les ressorts du succès international que rencontre actuellement TAOL, l'auteur revient sur la genèse du mouvement et s'intéresse aux stratégies de diffusion qui président à son développement communautaire tant dans son contexte de naissance indien qu'à l'échelle planétaire
Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

Murukaṉ, la Déesse et les divinités planétaires. Les Puissances du Destin dans le discours et les pratiques des astrologues des campagnes du Tamil Nadu
No full textInternational audienceL’hindouisme, avec sa surabondance de dieux et de déesses, constitue un terrain d’étude riche et fertile ayant nourri d’importants développements conceptuels autour de la notion de polythéisme. Cependant, comme le souligne Lawrence Babb dans son ouvrage The Divine Hierarchy, le panthéon hindou « résiste aux méthodes d'analyse simples. De loin, il semble ordonné et stable mais, avec un examen plus approfondi, l'image devient beaucoup moins claire ». Toute tentative d’appréhension classificatoire du panthéon hindou se heurte, en effet, à un écueil majeur lié à sa nature polycentrique. En fonction des contextes dans lesquels elles se manifestent, les puissances de ce formidable ensemble changent et fluctuent, les relations qui les lient les unes aux autres se réajustent continuellement et les hiérarchies qui les ordonnent ne cessent de se recomposer. Car, si l’on ne peut nier ses dimensions philosophique et textuelle, l’hindouisme est avant tout une religion vivante et pratique, en perpétuelle évolution

THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full text
Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p
