Parvati, the consort of Shiva, is represented as a fair and beautiful woman, with no superfluity of limbs. Few miraculous deeds are claimed for her. It is only when she appears as Durga, Kali, etc., that she manifests divine powers and exhibits a very different spirit.
As Kali she became an ascetic whose severe penances were intended to attract the attention of Shiva. When Shiva teased her about her black skin, through penances she had her colour changed to that of gold and was then called Gauri.
Parvati is not important enough to be worshipped alone but only as a minor deity in a Shiva temple. Between the 5th and the 13th centuries, from being merely the consorts of the male deities, and their active partners, female deities (shakti) became independent and objects of worship in their own right having a temple in which they were the main icons. It was around this time that Parvati, from a minor deity as a consort of Shiva, became a major deity as Durga and Kali. When Parvati is shown alone, she may hold a javelin and a mirror in her two hands. If she is four handed, two of her hands exhibit the protection and boon-giving attitudes and two carry a javelin and a chisel.
In the illustration facing this page, Parvati is seen doing a penance to attract the attention of Shiva.HANDICRAFTS

Paul Hughes on transhumanism:
By spiritual, I mean a deep and growing awareness of sublime, subtle nuances of consciousness that are available to any conscious explorer - what some might call "energy fields", "sacred spaces", "cosmic consciousness", or "the divinity within all things". This is as much a poetical and contextual shift as it is a scientific one, and is available to anyone who is not afraid to see the world from an enchanted point of view. I always tell people that if they believe so strongly in the scientific-materialist viewpoint, then what possible harm can come from trying to see things differently? It does not require a belief in "god", only a willingness to experience the universe from a different point of view. There is no downside, except perhaps a loss of innocence from realizing the universe is a far greater and more mysterious place than the scientific framework is equipped to handle. But the gains from such experience are infinite, as those who've been there can attest. Science is an awesome expansion of our awareness of universe, and the more science we have the better off we'll all be. The mistake is assuming it is the "only" awareness worth having.

According to a news article on the The Shining Light blog, the United Church of God Chairman, Robin Webber, has announced the passing of Mr. Dennis Luker.
We would like to express our sympathies to the family of Mr. Luker. Despite our obvious theological differences, we at ABD will set that aside for a moment out of respect to the greater picture in which all mankind has a part to play under the sun. We thank God for life and the opportunity it brings us.
When this world has passed away, our current petty differences that occupy us will no longer matter. We will all be one in Him.
FROM THE CHAIRMANMarch 14, 2013Dear Members of the United Church of God,This letter is to inform you that United Church of God president, Dennis Luker, died today, March 14. He spent his last physical days residing in his hometown of Seattle, Washington, surrounded by his loving wife, LeeAnn, and their immediate family.Thank you for your prayers and fasting during this challenging time for them, and for God's blessings on this transitional period for the United Church of God. Our Heavenly Father's will for Denny has been made known at this time-even though it is not news that we humanly desire. At the same time, I am reminded of his constant encouragement to reflect on the promising words of Romans 8:28: "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."Mr. Luker knew "that my Redeemer lives" (Job 19:25) and now awaits the trumpet call with so many other faithful saints down through the ages (1Thessalonians 4:13-18). I know that LeeAnn would ask us all to continue to pray for others who are challenged with spiritual, emotional and health issues-and that God will grant His peace to them (Philippians 4:6-7).Dennis and LeeAnn, as a pastoral couple, have given 50 years of their lives in service to others. And yes, they truly came as a "couple." They are loved far and wide beyond our own Church sphere, throughout the entire Church of God community. He brought an enthusiasm for speaking of the always-present love of God and the necessity of having Jesus Christ as the center of our lives.Denny's service to the United Church of God had a dynamic impact not just recently, but also in our formative years. He served on the original Advisory Council of Elders in 1995. Since then he has served as a member of the Council of Elders, as a church pastor, as a regional pastor, been part of the Ministerial Services team and of recent years, our Church president.Please remember LeeAnn, the children, the grandchildren, the great-grandchildren and all their family members-in our prayers that God will grant them comfort in this most challenging of life's chapters. More details will be forthcoming regarding pending memorial services.In my role as chairman during this transitional time, I have maintained frequent contact with the Council and the home office operation managers to ensure stability. Now, in accordance with our governing documents (Bylaw 9.5, Vacancies in Offices), the chairman of the Council of Elders becomes the acting president of the United Church of God, an International Association, until a new president is selected by the Council and assumes office.I look forward to working with the Council of Elders in the presidential nomination process currently underway. As Council members, we appreciate your prayers for God's guidance for all in the weeks to come.May the God of peace and comfort be with all of you at this time,Robin Webber-Chairman and Acting PresidentUnited Church of God March 14, 2013 at 8:11 am
British media are giving significant coverage to Tuesday's address by a senior judge, Sir James Munby, president of the Family Division, to a Law Society Conference. His remarks, titled "Law Morality and Religion in the Family Courts, "trace changes in the role judges assign to religion:
In recent years we have witnessed enormous changes in the social and religious life of our country. A century ago, a judge could pray in aid the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer as an appropriate statement of the public policy to be applied by the courts. Today we live in a largely secular society which, insofar as it remains religious at all, is now increasingly diverse in religious affiliation. At the same time as the judges have - rightly - abandoned their pretensions to be the guardians of public morality Christian clerics have, by and large, moderated their claims to speak as the defining voices of morality and of the law of marriage and the family.

IRANIAN AYATOLLAH CLAIMS JEWS INVENTED BUDDHISM
February 28, 2013 By Daniel Greenfield
"Muslims excel at picking fights with other religions. If there's a religion out there that isn't Islam, Muslims will sooner or later get into a fight with it. Even if the religion is Islam, Muslims will still fight each other over which Islam is the right one.
But the main idea of Islamism is that the Jews are behind all the evil in the world. So when Muslims get into a fight with Buddhists, who are not that easy to provoke, their theology demands that the whole thing be explained in terms of Evil Jew Theory.
And that leaves them no other choice but to claim that the Jews invented Buddhism. Buddhism predates Islam. But Muslims have no problem dismissing older traditions and cultures as pawns of the Jewish Devil and then destroying them.
"In an August 8, 2012 interview with the Rasa news agency titled "The Cruel Genocide Against The Muslim People In Myanmar," Ayatollah Ruhollah Qarehi, head of the Imam Mahdi seminary in Tehran, said: "The genocide of the Muslims in Myanmar is ostensibly being carried out by the Buddhists, but we are certain that Judaism and Global Zionism are [behind] the massacre and the genocide against the Muslims... The tenets of Buddhism are derived from Judaism. The Buddhists are a tool [in the hands] of the Jews, and 'Buddhism' is a name behind which [hides] the hand of Judaism and Global Zionism."
Why did Jews invent Buddhism? Because everyone hates Jews and everyone loves Buddhists. So the Jews just started claiming to be Asians and calling themselves Buddhists.
"But, since the Jew knows that he is an [object of] derision throughout the world, he hides behind a pseudonym like 'Buddhism.' Lecturers at seminaries and universities, as well as the media, must [speak up] in various languages and in eloquent terms... and explain to the people and to our dear youth that behind [the term] 'Buddhism' there [hides] the Jew..."

WASHINGTON'S NEW EPISCOPAL BISHOP IS CANDID ABOUT THE CHURCH'S DECLINE, BUT WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE CAUSE.
By Jeff Walton
11.16.11
It's commonly remarked that obfuscation is a job requirement for liberal bishops in the Episcopal Church. Never content with reading scripture's plain meaning, they often explain away parts of the Bible that sound unpleasant to today's supposedly enlightened ears. As if out of habit, this practice carries over into church operations, where decaying Mainline Protestant houses of worship situated near booming evangelical churches rarely lead to straightforward discussions about church vitality.
It may come as a surprise, then, that Washington, D.C.'s new bishop is being heralded for her candor in acknowledging the Episcopal Church's decline, even as she fails to identify the underlying reasons for the decline that traditionalists argue got the church into such dire straits in the first place.
Mariann Budde, the first woman to be installed as Washington's top bishop (another briefly led on an interim basis), comes to the diocese acknowledging years of decline and a culture of Episcopalians who, she told the "Washington Post", have lost focus on the core missions of worship and evangelizing. Statistics released in October by the U.S.-based church reveal it has lost over 40 percent of its churchgoers since the mid-1960s. Budde replaces John Bryson Chane, who famously said he was "so sick and tired of reading reports about the statistical decline of The Episcopal Church" that he no longer reads them. In selecting a replacement, the diocese sought a candidate who did not fatigue as quickly. THE REST
IN BUDDE, WASHINGTON EPISCOPALIANS SEE AN OFFICIAL WHO ACKNOWLEDGES WITH CANDOR THE FAILINGS OF THE CHURCH IN EVANGELISM AND HOSPITALITY, BUT WHO DOES NOT MAKE THEOLOGICAL DEMANDS THAT WOULD COMPROMISE THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH'S NEW GOSPEL OF INDISCRIMINATE INCLUSION AND ULTIMATELY STEER THE CHURCH BACK ONTO A PATH OF RENEWAL.

Today is Beltane! A day to live it up, get ready for summer, and enjoy the blessings of a land coming back out of the frosty depths of winter. For those of us in the midwest, it has been a long, hard struggle this season, as winter never seemed to let go. It didn't care that it was March...or April...but it seems to be caring about May! (Which, I suppose, one should be thankful for!)
So, Rioters, I wish you all a very Happy and Blessed Beltane! I will be doing a bit of ritual today, before work, to take advantage of this glorious weather! How will YOU celebrate the day? I have to go in to my Retail Slave Labor, despite my best efforts at getting off. Boo. I know.
ON A FUNNIER NOTE: The President of the United States is very, very, very seriously funny. Very. Seriously. Funny. Below is the video from this year's White House Correspondent's Dinner. It's an occasion that is historically noted for being one of the few times when officials get to show off their more human side, tell a few jokes, and let their hair down. It's 18 minutes long, but, trust me Faithful Rioter, if you have been keeping up with the news at all (including my news segment on the show) it will be a Laugh Riot! I could NOT STOP LAUGHING!
So, this is my Beltane gift to you. I hope you enjoy it! A new show to come this week, when I finally have a day off! (Worked every day for a week and a half so far! :-) )

Dear Young People, when I go round the diocese, I brag about you! You have no idea what it does to me to see so many from all over the diocese gathered here.
So Bishop Sample addressed over 650 young people and their chaperones who attended the annual See the See Youth Rally at St Peter's Cathedral yesterday.
The day consisted of songs of praise, great teaching by keynote speaker Cooper Ray, various workshops, including Eucharist Adoration.
Confessions were available for much of the day. I had a rather sore behind after sitting for two and half hours on the rather narrow perch in my confessional - what a joy to hear so many confessions of both youngsters and adults, and more in the afternoon.
Cooper broke down the word cool - the Bishop had said how cool it is to be Catholic - and spoke to the youngsters about being:
Crazy for their Catholic faith
Open to the knock of Christ on the doors of their hearts
Obedient to the call of Christ
Loving of God and neighbour.
Father Ben Hasse gave a beautiful teaching to small groups of 50 about Eucharistic adoration, quoting St Jean Marie Vianney and his own experience of hearing the call of the Lord as a result of Eucharistic adoration. There were other workshops that I was not present at due to being in the confessional.
In the afternoon there was a 'Stump the Bishop' session in the Baraga Gym across the road during which Bishop Sample answered all questions - goofy and profound - the kids were anxious to put to him.
The day finished with Mass during which the Bishop preached passionately about the call of Christ with reference to the call of Jesus to Zachaeus. At the end of Mass the Bishop blessed rosaries and distributed them to each of the young people individually.
A great day - please God it will result in the deepening of the love of Christ and His Church in these middle schoolers and to many priestly and religious vocations, as well as to Holy Marriage or a holy single life.

"In the unlikely ten living the word "TUTOR" has replaced the biblical word "missionary."
The word "TUTOR" at first became blue-collar in the New Age mercantile world. It was brought in via mercantile gurus and the an assortment of statute training workshops all through the unlikely 25 living. Taking part in the Brand Caretaker era, "TUTOR" having difficulties on like peas in a pod wildfire, ephemeral biblical vocabularly far nap. The biblical meaning of "MISSIONARY" has to do with teaching and instructing the Oath of God. The word "TUTOR" capital someone who is guise modeling, or portion as a guide to praiseworthy frolics, attitudes, central character, etc. Manifestly "MENTORING" de-emphasizes the Oath of God.
Like is a "tutor"? It is added rigorous to ask, "WHO IS MENTOR?" for it is a channeled demonic spirit and/or man named Lecturer is whose name now replaces "MISSIONARY" in the neoevangelical lexicon:
"Lecturer, restraint of Stainton Moses, whispered to be Algazzali of Ghazali, Coach of Theology at Baghdad in the XI century, the greatest representative of the Arabian Weighty Focus. His foremost payment was to directive the phenomena at the seances. He was very efficient with lights and scents and brought an assortment of apports. In Pamphlet XVI expound is a story of his carving heads on two grenades in the dining room even if breakfast was going on; the justifiable of the gush was heard." (Nandor Fodor, "AN ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF SEER SCIENCE" ["The Fastness Press: 1966"], p. 239)
A seance requires the use of a medium. Stainton Moses, referenced advanced, was "THE CHARGE [CHANNELER, ED."] OF AN USUAL BAND OF 49 SPIRITS" who "ASSERTED THAT A SUPPORTER EFFORT TO HELP YOURSELF TO THE AT ALL EXPLODE WAS QUALITIES FINISHED IN THE SPIRIT REALMS" and that "MOSES WAS CHOSEN AS THE CHASM OF THESE COMMUNICATIONS." (IBID., P. 249). Ghazali (LECTURER) is listed as one of his 49 channeled spirits.
A "RESTRAINT" capital "IMPART OF USE OF THE MEDIUM BY AN HIDDEN EFFECTIVE," likewise called a "GUIDE." The convene "IMPLIES STRONG COME TO PASS BY A UNCOMMON AND INTERMINABLE PERSONALITY TO USE THE ENTRANCED MEDIUM'S PHYSIQUE, TO FURNISH BALDING OR RELAYED MESSAGES...," and is an detachment that "LADDER IN... TO ADVANCE FALLING-OUT..." (IBID, P. 57).
Folks who naively (OR INFLEXIBLY) number that "TUTOR" is an dust convene that Christians can substantially use as a change for "MISSIONARY" call for hem in two times. Luridly the word "TUTOR" carries the occultic meaning of a spirit guide.
THE TRUTH:
Seances, or attempting to put into words with the dead, are distinctively prohibited in the Bible:
