Santa Muerte Devotion: Vulnerability, Protection, Intimacy (Elements in New Religious Movements)
by Wil G. PanstersIn recent decades the cult of Santa Muerte has become a remarkable phenomenon in Mexico's popular religious landscape, from where it has migrated abroad. Due to the uncommon iconography of the robed skeleton and the association with criminality, the Santa Muerte cult has been the object of public controversy. This Element deconstructs mainstream views of Santa Muerte devotion by privileging the voices and practices of devotees. Counterintuitively, Santa Muerte devotion is about assuring a good life in health, work, love, justice, and security. Notwithstanding the cult's rapid growth and public visibility since 2000, it is deeply embedded in Mexico's religious and cultural history. The analysis of material culture, theology, and ritual demonstrates the importance of devotional intimacy. This Element also studies how gender, family, leadership, and political relations intersect with the cult. Santa Muerte popular religiosity is examined in terms of socioeconomic vulnerabilities, ineffective social protections, exclusion, and existential insecurities.

Santayana: Saint of the Imagination
by Mossie KirkwoodThis book has its origin in the author's deep admiration for its subject as a man of great cultivation with the instinct of veneration as well as the determination to learn and to face the facts, an engaging human being as well as an exciting thinker. Her aim has been to encourage a wider reading of Santayana himself. With this purpose she provides an intimate picture of the man using material from his letters and making reference to his autobiography and other philosophical works; but within the biographical framework she also expounds his thought, endeavouring to show the high quality of her subject's "religion" of the imagination. The result is a firmly handled, quietly mannered exposition of the growth of Santayana's mind as seen in his books and the small events of his life as scholar and thinker. It will be suggestive for the general reader and a helpful introduction for the student.
Santeria: African Spirits in America
by Joseph M. MurphySantería represents the first in-depth, scholarly account of a profound way of wisdom that is growing in importance in America today. A professional academic and himself a participant in the Santería community of the Bronx for several years, Joseph Murphy offers a powerful description and insightful analysis of this African/Cuban religion. He traces the survival of an ancient spiritual path from its West African Yoruba origins, through nearly two centuries of slavery in the New World, to its presence in the urban centers of the United States, where it continues to inspire seekers with its compelling vision.
Santeria: The Beliefs and Rituals of a Growing Religion in America
by Miguel A. De La TorreThis book by Miguel De La Torre offers a fascinating guide to the history, beliefs, rituals, and culture of Santería — a religious tradition that, despite persecution, suppression, and its own secretive nature, has close to a million adherents in the United States alone. Santería is a religion with Afro-Cuban roots, rising out of the cultural clash between the Yoruba people of West Africa and the Spanish Catholics who brought them to the Americas as slaves. As a faith of the marginalized and persecuted, it gave oppressed men and women strength and the will to survive. With the exile of thousands of Cubans in the wake of Castro's revolution in 1959, Santería came to the United States, where it is gradually coming to be recognized as a legitimate faith tradition. Apart from vague suspicions that Santería's rituals include animal sacrifice and notions that it is a “syncretistic” form of Catholicism, most people in America's cultural and religious mainstream know very little about this rich faith tradition — in fact, many have never heard of it at all. De La Torre, who was reared in Santería, sets out in this book to provide a basic understanding of its inner workings. He clearly explains the particular worldview, myths, rituals, and practices of Santería, and he discusses what role the religion typically plays in the life of its practitioners as well as the cultural influence it continues to exert in Latin American communities today. In offering a balanced, informed survey of Santería from his unique “insider-outsider” perspective, De La Torre also provides insight into how Christianity and Santería can enter into dialogue — a dialogue that will challenge Christians to consider what this emerging faith tradition can teach them about their own. Enhanced with illustrations, tables, and a glossary, De La Torre's Santería sheds light on a religion all too often shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding.

Sanyasi Yoddha: संन्यासी योद्धा
by Kaustubh Anand Chandolaइस उपन्यास में गोलू आज उत्तराखण्ड में न्याय के देवता के रूप में स्थापित है। गोलू का चरित्र एक सामान्य निम्न कुल में बढ़े बालक के रूप में सम्मुख आता है। उसके पालक माता-पिता निम्न धीवर कुल के होने के कारण गोलू को गुरुकुल में शिक्षा प्राप्त करने से वंचित होना पड़ता है। जिस कारण भाना धीवर उसे गुरु गोरखनाथ के पास शिक्षार्थ भेजते हैं। गुरु गोरखनाथ उसे केवल शास्त्र सम्मत शिक्षा ही नहीं देते अपितु अस्त्र-शस्त्र की भी शिक्षा देते हैं। गोलू आगे चलकर इस शिक्षा का लाभ लेकर उसे सामाजिक भलाई के निमित्त प्रयुक्त करता है। वह हर ऐसे अहंकार, अंधशक्ति और बाहुबल के प्रतीक मसाणों, तात्रिकों को साधता है जो जन सामान्य की अंधभक्ति का फायदा उठाकर उन्हीं का शोषण करते हैं। अंतत: एक दलित सामान्य जन से उठकर अपने योगबल और बाहुबल से वह धूमाकोट का एक न्यायप्रिय, निष्पृह, साधु राजा के रूप में मान्यता प्राप्त करता है और सामाजिक विद्वेष तथा जाति मनोवृत्ति से ग्रस्त रूढ़िवादी समाज के सम्मुख समातावादी मनोवृत्ति एवं सामाजिकता की स्थापना का आदर्श प्रस्तुत करता है। लेखक ने एक दलित नायक के सिहांसनारूढ़ होने को गाथा से हटकर यथार्थ का जामा पहनाया है। साथ ही राजधर्म, साधुधर्म और वर्तमान विसंगतियों का उपन्यास में सटीक चित्रण किया है। राजतंत्र की विडम्बनाओं पर भी स्थान-स्थान पर कटु व्यंग्य किया गया है। वस्तुत: गोलू के चरित्र का नायकत्व समतावादी समाज के पोषक और गीता के कर्मवाक्य प्रस्थापक के रूप में हुआ है। कहीं जहाँ यथार्थ से हटकर चित्रण हुआ है वहाँ अतिमानवीय तत्वों का वर्णन आ गया है। गोलू के चरित्र को बल देने के लिए राजा गरूण और भागवती, गुरु गोरखनाथ, देवहरु, सैसज्यू, वीर कलुआ, सेनानायक उग्र भट्ट, महामंत्री नरोत्तम, चंपावत के राजा नागनाथ, धरमदास, सात रानियाँ हालूराय, सामण दैत्य आदि की कथाएं अवांतर के रूप में उपन्यास में आयी हैं।
Sapphire Ice: Jewel Series #1
by Hallee BridgemanTo ROBIN BARTLETT, men were nothing more than violent users. After a hair-raising childhood, Robin and her two younger half sisters battled simply to survive. Determined to give her sisters a very different life from that of their mother; to never have to rely on a man for anything, she worked two jobs and put them both through college, while accepting help from no one. Her heart had turned to ice and she had no use for men or God. ANTONIO "TONY" VISCOLLI had grown up on the streets, homeless. At seventeen, he entered a downtown church with the intent of casing it, but found himself on his knees at the altar. Lovingly fostered by the youth minister, Tony learned about God. Striking out on his own, he let God lead him to eventually become a very successful businessman. In a fallen world, Tony was a gem. When he bought the restaurant where Robin bartended, she immediately resented his intrusion into her well ordered, but exhausting, life. She suspected his special attention and constant kindness came with expectations of something from her in return, something she wasn't willing to give. Tony knew God had led him to Robin. Would she ever allow herself to trust him? Could she ever allow herself to trust God? Or would the winter of their tragic youths rise from the shadows of the past and freeze any chance at happiness?
