Krodh: ક્રોધ
by Dada Bhagwanજયારે પોતાના ધાર્યા પ્રમાણે નથી થતું, અથવા જયારે સામી વ્યક્તિ પોતાને સમજતી નથી, અથવા જયારે દ્રષ્ટિકોણમાં ફરક હોય ત્યારે મોટાભાગે પોતાને ક્રોધ આવે છે. ઘણીવાર આપણને ખોટા માનવામાં આવે છે, જયારે આપણે પોતે સાચા છીએ એમ માનતા હોઈએ ત્યારે આપણને ક્રોધ આવે છે. આપણી પોતાની સમજણના આધારે આપણે પોતાને સાચા માનતા હોઈએ છીએ જયારે સામી વ્યક્તિ માને છે કે તે સાચી છે. મોટાભાગે જયારે આપણને સમજ નથી પડતી કે આગળ શું કરવું, આપણી પાસે દૂરદ્રષ્ટિ કે સૂઝ નથી હોતી ત્યારે આપણે ક્રોધિત થઈએ છીએ. જે લોકો આપણને સૌથી વધારે પ્રેમ કરે છે તેમની સાથેના સંબંધો ને જ આપણે નુકશાન પહોંચાડીએ છીએ. આપણે આપણા સંતાનોને બધા જ સુખચેન, સાથ, સલામતી આપવા માંગીએ છીએ પરંતુ આપણા ક્રોધથી સંતાનો પોતાના જ ઘરમાં ભયભીત રહે છે. ક્રોધિત લોકો સાથે કેમ વર્તવું? જયારે કોઈ યંત્ર બહુ ગરમ થઇ જાય, ત્યારે આપણે તેને થોડા સમય માટે એમજ છોડી દેવું જોઈએ તો તે ટુંક સમયમાં ઠંડું થઇ જશે. પરંતુ જો તમે તેને છેડતા રહેશો તો તમે દાઝશો. તમારા સંબધો અને ક્રોધની સમસ્યાના ઉકેલ માટે આગળ વાંચો.

Kuan-yin
by Chün-Fang YüBy far one of the most important objects of worship in the Buddhist traditions, the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara is regarded as the embodiment of compassion. He has been widely revered throughout the Buddhist countries of Asia since the early centuries of the Common Era. While he was closely identified with the royalty in South and Southeast Asia, and the Tibetans continue to this day to view the Dalai Lamas as his incarnations, in China he became a she -- Kuan-yin, the "Goddess of Mercy" -- and has a very different history. The causes and processes of this metamorphosis have perplexed Buddhist scholars for centuries. In this groundbreaking, comprehensive study, Chün-fang Yü discusses this dramatic transformation of the (male) Indian bodhisattva Avalokitesvara into the (female) Chinese Kuan-yin -- from a relatively minor figure in the Buddha's retinue to a universal savior and one of the most popular deities in Chinese religion. Focusing on the various media through which the feminine Kuan-yin became constructed and domesticated in China, Yü thoroughly examines Buddhist scriptures, miracle stories, pilgrimages, popular literature, and monastic and local gazetteers -- as well as the changing iconography reflected in Kuan-yin's images and artistic representations -- to determine the role this material played in this amazing transformation. The book eloquently depicts the domestication of Kuan-yin as a case study of the indigenization of Buddhism in China and illuminates the ways this beloved deity has affected the lives of all Chinese people down the ages.

Kugel and Frijoles: Latino Jews in the United States
by Laura LimonicKugel and Frijoles: Latino Jews in the United States analyzes the changing construction of race and ethnicity in the United States through the lens of contemporary Jewish immigrants from Latin America. Since Latino Jews are not easily classified within the U.S. racial and ethnic schema, their ethnic identity and group affiliation challenge existing paradigms. Author Laura Limonic offers a view into the lives of this designation of Jewish immigrants, highlighting the ways in which they adopt different identities (e.g., national, religious, or panethnic) in response to different actors and situations. Limonic begins by introducing the stories of Latino Jewish immigrants and laying out the important questions surrounding ethnic identity: How do Latino Jews identify? Can they choose their identity or is it assigned to them? How is ethnicity strategic or instrumental? These larger questions are placed within the existing scholarly literature on immigrant integration, religion, and ethnic group construction. Limonic explains how groups can be constructed when there is a lack of a perfect host group and details the ways different factors influence ethnic identity and shape membership into ethnic groups. The book concludes that group construction is never static in the United States, and, in particular, how race, religion, and class are increasingly important mediating factors in defining ethnicity and ethnic identity. As the Latino population continues to grow in the United States, so does the influence of millions of Latinos on U.S. culture, politics, economy, and social structure. Kugel and Frijoles offers new insight with which to understand the diversity of Latinos, the incorporation of contemporary Jewish immigrants, and the effect of U.S. ethno-racial structures for immigrant assimilation.

Kulturgerontologie: Konstellationen, Relationen und Distinktionen (Altern & Gesellschaft)
by Franz Kolland Vera Gallistl Viktoria ParisotStudien unter dem Vorzeichen der Kulturgerontologie verstehen das Alter nicht als eine biologisch definierte Lebensphase, sondern als Teil sozialer Praxis und kultureller Ordnung. Die interdisziplinäre Annäherung an die Lebensphase Alter passiert dabei vor dem Hintergrund von Praxistheorien, Diskurstheorien, Materialitätstheorien oder Kulturtheorien. Empirisch geht mit dieser Neuausrichtung eine Erforschung des Alltagsnahen und Lebensweltlichen, des impliziten Wissens, der sozio-materiellen Arrangements und der Ästhetisierungen des Alterns einher. Der Band bildet die Vervielfältigung und Synthese von disziplinären Perspektiven der Kulturgerontologie im deutschsprachigen Raum ab und zeigt damit neue Wege auf, die Lebensphase Alter zu gestalten.

Ausgehend von der um 1900 weit verbreiteten Kulturkritik im deutschen Sprachraum wird zum einen die Bedeutung der Nietzsche-Rezeption und der Auseinandersetzung mit der ästhetisch-literarischen Moderne für die frühe deutsche Soziologie aufgezeigt. Die Konfrontation mit der modernen Geschlechterfrage und der Krise der Wissenschaft sind weitere Schwerpunkte der vorliegenden Abhandlung. Ausführlich behandelt werden dabei die entsprechenden Arbeiten von Ferdinand Tönnies, Georg Simmel, Max Weber, Werner Sombart, Max Scheler und Karl Mannheim.
Kulturmarketing (Kunst- und Kulturmanagement)
by Andrea HausmannMarketing für Angebote im Kulturbereich ist nicht "give the market what it wants". Vielmehr ist Kulturmarketing eine professionelle Betrachtungsweise des Vermittelns kultureller Leistungen an verschiedene Zielgruppen. Dabei gibt es zwei Vorgehensweisen: eine durch Nachfrage getriebene und - weitaus wichtiger - eine von künstlerischen und anderen Impulsen getriebene. In beiden Fällen geht es um das Erzeugen von Akzeptanz bei den relevanten Adressaten, insbesondere den Besuchern. Kulturmarketing wird im vorliegenden Band als betriebswirtschaftlich fundierte Konzeption mit ihren Zielsetzungen, den wichtigsten Strategieoptionen und ausgewählten Facetten des Marketinginstrumentariums behandelt.
Kuna Art and Shamanism: An Ethnographic Approach
by Paolo FortisKnown for their beautiful textile art, the Kuna of Panama have been scrutinized by anthropologists for decades. Perhaps surprisingly, this scrutiny has overlooked the magnificent Kuna craft of nuchukana—wooden anthropomorphic carvings—which play vital roles in curing and other Kuna rituals. Drawing on long-term fieldwork, Paolo Fortis at last brings to light this crucial cultural facet, illuminating not only Kuna aesthetics and art production but also their relation to wider social and cosmological concerns. Exploring an art form that informs birth and death, personhood, the dream world, the natural world, religion, gender roles, and ecology, Kuna Art and Shamanism provides a rich understanding of this society’s visual system, and the ways in which these groundbreaking ethnographic findings can enhance Amerindian scholarship overall. Fortis also explores the fact that to ask what it means for the Kuna people to carve the figure of a person is to pose a riddle about the culture’s complete concept of knowing. Also incorporating notions of landscape (islands, gardens, and ancient trees) as well as cycles of life, including the influence of illness, Fortis places the statues at the center of a network of social relationships that entangle people with nonhuman entities. As an activity carried out by skilled elderly men, who possess embodied knowledge of lifelong transformations, the carving process is one that mediates mortal worlds with those of immortal primordial spirits. Kuna Art and Shamanism immerses readers in this sense of unity and opposition between soul and body, internal forms and external appearances, and image and design.

Kundalini – A Baptism of Fire: The Journey of the Mystic
by Maria VyasaWho is the mystic, and what is the essence of their journey? Across various traditions, the path of the mystic is often described in purposefully veiled language, each with its own unique approach. In the tantric tradition, this is known as the twilight language, designed to protect the sacred mysteries. Similarly, in the Bible, Christ speaks in parables to those not yet privy to the secrets of the kingdom. This veiled language is rich with symbols, requiring careful decoding to unravel the profound truths they hold. This book seeks to lift the veil on these mysteries, exposing the transformative journey of the mystic – a path that all seekers of truth and meaning must inevitably traverse. Through its pages, readers will gain insight into the hidden wisdom of the ages, illuminating the way for those who dare to embark on this timeless quest for self-discovery and enlightenment.
Kundalini: A Journey to Spiritual Awakening
by Gopi KrishnaCoiled like a snake at the base of the spine, kundalini is the spiritual force that lies dormant in every human being. Once awakened, often through meditation and yoga practices, it rises up the spine and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge, mystical vision, psychic powers, and ultimately, enlightenment. This is the classic first-person account of Gopi Krishna, an ordinary Indian householder who, at the age of thirty-four, after years of unsupervised meditation, suddenly experienced the awakening of kundalini during his morning practice. The story of this transformative experience, and the author's struggle to find balance amid a variety of powerful physiological and psychic side effects, forms the core of the book. His detailed descriptions of his dramatic inner experiences and symptoms such as mood swings, eating disorders, and agonizing sensations of heat—and of how, with the help of his wife, he finally stabilized at a higher level of consciousness—make this one of the most valuable classics of spiritual awakening available.
