DECK THE HOLIDAY'S

   Footsteps reverberate down an empty hallway. Outside, wicked winds howl as they lap at the foundation of the house, enhanced by the endless drone of pelting raindrops. Occasionally, there is a blinding flash of lightning that reveals the maker of these footsteps. He is tall and wearing some sort of mask. In his right hand is a small axe, and it is dripping blood. He's after you, and it seems that no matter how fast you run, he's keeping up with you.    What can you do to escape? Why is this man after you and why does he want to kill you? Who is he? All that becomes suddenly immaterial as you trip and fall down. The man with the axe is almost upon you as you find your muscles unable to respond and you try to crawl away. You plead with your legs to help you up and run away, but they feel like jelly and refuse to work. The man is right by you now. He leans down and grabs a hold of your leg. You're helpless as you watch his arm's motion make a huge arc. Lightning ...

  You might know what a mummy is, but do you know how they were turned into mummies? Here we will explore the process of mummification, the reasons behind it and the religious rites associated with it.    A mummy is the dried and embalmed body of a dead human being. The ancient Egyptians are the best known of the peoples who preserved the bodies of the dead. However, the practice has existed among many other groups throughout the world.  The natives of the Aleutian Islands removed the entrails from the body of a deceased individual of importance, carefully washed the body, dried it, wrapped it in furs, and suspended it in a sheltered cave. The Peruvian Indians prepared mummies, which were sometimes petitioned in religious rituals to grant food and long life. The Peruvians eviscerated each corpse, probably dried it thoroughly, then wrapped it in many yards of cloth.    The Egyptians believed that everyone had a soul in the form of a bird with a hu...

Pilgrimages in Hindu     In India there a lot of sacred places which are called places of thirtha and the action of going on a pilgrimage is called thirtha-yatra. The Sanskrit word "thirtha" means river ford, steps to a river, or place of pilgrimage . In Vedi times the world may have concerned only those sacred places associated with rivers and water, but by the time of the Mahabharata, thirtha had come to denote any holy place, be it a lake, mountain, forest, or cave. The Hindus believe that thirthas are more than physical locations. They believe them to be spirituals fords, the meeting place of heaven and earth, the locations where one crosses over the river of samsara (the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth) to reach the distant shore of liberation, the Omnipotence . Why Do They Go On Pilgrimages?     Vedas and Puranas state the reasons for going on pilgrimages. Hinduism finds the image of godhood in the Murthy (statu...
