    The research article about the Nacirema culture focused on a heavily religious society. In which the indualives shape their whole lives around it. Most people in the culture have at least one shrine dedicated to their physical health. It’s custom for all of the household members to pray to the shrine at least once a day. Praying is a secluded activity in the Nacirema culture and it is believed to reinforce the individual’s relationship with the divine. There is a major emphasis on the mouth and how it relates to a person’s social interaction and relationships. The mouth was so empathized that the Nacirema people visit the “Holy-mouth-man” once or twice a year, who inspects their mouths of any evil spirits using special instruments. The ancient traditions of the Nacirema culture seems to have influenced western culture.…

    It seems that the people of Nacirema, in addition to their personal shrines in the home, have many other shrines they visit for different rituals and purposes. Besides the Holy-mouth-man and the Medicine man, there seems to be other subcultures of these two specialists. Naciremans also frequently gather in great numbers to worship the lower levels of species that inhabit their continent as well as its surrounding waters. Ironically, the very creatures they worship now, used to be killed, captured, murdered and/or eaten in their recent history.…

    Water, the element that sustains life is the nourisher of both the body and soul. It is no small wonder that this most abundant substance which maintains a human’s physical being, also sustains humanity’s spiritual essence. Water represents the first of the sacred sacraments—Baptism. The holy ritual of Baptism could be seen as the first gate one must pass along the Christian’s journeying road, and is synonymous with a person forged in new life. Both Sigridur Gudmarsdottir and Roderick C. Meredith bring two, strikingly dissimilar, perspectives of Baptism to the forefront. While Sigridur Gudmarsdottir is focused on water’s manifestation as a sacred symbol for spiritual development; Roderick C. Meredith seems to be concerned with the sacred rite…

    The river was laughing clearly and merrily at the old ferryman. Siddhartha stood still; he bent over the water in order to hear better. He saw his face reflected in the quietly moving water, and there was something in this reflection that reminded him of something he had forgotten and when he reflected on it, he remembered. His face resembled that of another person, whom he had once known and loved and even feared. It resembled the face of his father, the Brahmin. He remembered how once, as a youth, he had compelled his father to let him go and join the ascetics, how he had taken leave of him, now he had gone and never returned. (131-132).…

    As always, the godly man smells of clean rivers and sweet honey, but a scowl interrupts his peaceful aura. Bracing himself, Christian suffers his scolding and words. Did he hear him say to travel to the wicket gate? Was he so easily tricked by a few kind phrases? Evangelist almost says more, but Christian’s humble apology cools his fury. The man decides the situation would be best remedied by God. Christian falls to his knees, and the ground’s pebbles prod his legs. The pilgrim trembles and stutters his failures, but Evangelist silences him with warnings. After the man says his part, he looks to heaven for verification. Lava drips down the mountain and a powerful voice roars. Because his eardrums feel close to bursting, Christian wails. Soon, he is on his way and determined to stay on the path.…

    Kali defeats Raktabija by sucking the blood from his body. Kali then enjoys her victory by dancing across the battle field, prancing on the corpses of her slain. (David R. Kinsley 118-119) Kali is the goddess of wrath and vengeance, also the patron goddess of Mr. Bhowmicks’ family in the short story A Father written by Bharati Mukherje in 1985. Mr. Bhowmick is a Hindu Indian who migrated from Ranchi, Bihar India to Detroit Michigan. Most Americans, especially in the 80’s, did not have much understanding of Hinduism, and still do not today. This could be because Hinduism itself is a very vague religion made up of many denominations.…
