  • Shiva Is Goddess Ziva Of Slavs Poland Czechoslavakia

    I have written as to how the Celts declare themselves as the Tribes/Peoples of Danu, Danube being a River in memory of Danu, wife of Sage Kashyapa.

    Also that there is an ancient cave found in Germany, containing the figure of Narasimha,Lord Vishnu’s Avatar.

    Now there is more about Hindu Gods and Goddesses in the western Pantheon.

    Lord Shiva is worshiped as Goddess Ziva by the Slav People of Poland, Czechoslavakia, East  Germany.

    She is also called Shiwa,and in modern Polish Sheeva.

    Other forms of the names are Sivve, Shiwa, Sieba, Syeba, Siba and Dsiva.(Znayenko, pp. 75, 220).

    Twelve Fridays of a year are marked for Her worship.(Hubbs, p. 117).

    The meaning of the word Siva is Auspiciousness, Mangalam.

    Shiva is not to be confused with Rudra, as Amsa of Shiva.

    Rudra is the chief of the Ekadasa Rudras.

    He is described as Ferocious and anger prone.

    Sri Rudram starts with,

    ‘On namo Bhagavate Rudraaya,

    Namsthe Rudramanyave”

    My Salutations  to Rudra,

    who is the embodiment of anger,

    My Salutaions to Him’

    He is the god of Destruction, while Braham is the God of Creation, Vishnu the Protector.

    Shiva is different as Vishnu is different from Narayana.

    Shiva has five functions.

    Srushti(Creation), Stithi(Protection or Maintanence), Samahara(Destruction). Thirodhaaana(Hiding) and Anugraha( Benevolence).

    Shiva is the Kinetic energy while Sakthi is the potentian Energy.

    Shiva without Sakthi is useless.

    In Tamil there is a saying Shiva without Sakthi(in Tamil this word also means Power) is a Sava, A corpse.

    It is Sakthi who contributes to the Power of Shiva.

    Lalitha Sahasranama calls Her as,

    pancha Pretha Manchaathi Saayini’ one who rests on Five Corpses.

    Please read my post onDevi worship on the meaning of this.

    This sakthi is a part of Shiva and occupies the Left side of Shiva.

    This is seen in Ardhanaareswara Form of Shiva.

    Bhavani is an Amsa of Sakthi.

    The word Bhavani springs from the Sanskrit word “BHU,  BHUVA ,-“to live, be, exist”

    It also means “being, existence’

    This alludes to Being, Being Born, offspring and fertility.

    n Slovakia, the equivalent to Siva is life-goddess Zivena, who is counterposed with chief god Praboh (Jones and Pennick, p. 187). His name means “(original) primitive god” (Konus, p. 906).

    Interrelated Sanskrit words:

    PRA- (prefix): “before, in front”, and therefore, “first, original”; BHU, #1 BHU’, #2 BHU’: “becoming, being, produced, live”. All are the root words of BHAVA/BHAVANI
    —PRA-BHU*, “excelling, powerful, lord”, a name of Shiva.

    The name itself means “before-living”, in other words, “original God”.

    It obtains the concept of “excelling, powerful” exactly in the same way that Eng. PRIME implies “the best”.
    —PRA-BHU/PRA-[root] BHU-, -BHAVATI, “originate from, be powerful/master.”
    —PRA-BHAVA*, “excelling, production, origin, Creator (“might, power”=PRA-BHAVA) (Monier-Williams)

    A picture of Siva shows her with a sun-disk behind her head (admittedly, not an unusual occurrence for ancient deities). And there is mention of Siwa/Syuna, a goddess of the Western Polabi (Hastings, vol. 11, p. 594).

    Zhiva: “..…

    “There persisted another religious rite more closely related to Procopius’s account of the veneration of nymphs. This religion appears to have had no organized priesthood. It revolved around the goddess called Zhiva by the Elbe Slavs.

    The ceremonies were performed by the whole community in the depths of the forests [like the Baiga and Savaras of Northern India, who believe fully in forest spirits. (Hastings, vol. 2, p. 333; vol. 7, p. 214}] and in places where land and water met. (Hubbs, pp.12-13).

    “Chroniclers, who confirm Procopius’s earlier observations, refer to the river, lake, and forest nymphs as BEREGINY.” (from BEREGINA, “earth, shore”). BEREGINY represent the fertility goddesses (Ibid, pp.14-15).

    The role of diety of guardianship/family/ household is shared by Bhavani, Prabha and the BEREGINY (Kinsley, pp. 109 and 110; Ann and Imel. p. 291; Hubbs, p. 13).

    In a similar vein, Shiva-Bhava is the “presiding diety of the waters” (Gupta, p.15).

    Banaras/Benares, known as Shiva’s City, is referred to as the center of Earth, “this shore,” on the Ganges River and is an embodiment of the goddess Kashi (“shining, sun”. Cf. Hebrew names Ziva or Zivah, (“shining, radiant”).

    Kashi is a counterpart to Bhavani and is a shakti of Shiva (Eck, pp.159, 418). Kashi is said to sit above the earth as a crossing place between earth and the “far shore” of the transcendant Brahman. (Eck, pp. 6, 35).

    It is said that, when one dies, Shiva whispers the “ferryboat mantra”, or mantra of the crossing (Eck, p. 331).

    This compares with Slavic concepts of the dead traveling across an ocean with a conductor to guide the deceased. Likewise, the Slavic Siva is connected with the life/death cycle. (Ann and Imel, p. 73).

    Compare Slavic SHIVAYA/ZHIVAYA VODA (various sources give different spellings), “living water”, which brings dead people back to life; and MERTVAYA VODA, “dying water”, which makes a living person dead (Professor A. Babyonyshev, email).

    The “dying water” heals all wounds on the corpse of the deceased, and then the sprinkling of “living water” bring it to life.

    And in the Kanjar tribe, Bhavani is worshipped along with the goddess Prabha, “light” (Hastings, vol. 7, p.653).

    This word is associated with a sun-disk (Monier-Williams, p. 683).

    The Kanjar use a protector-exorcist called a SYAANAA (“wise one”) to propitiate bad spirits (Hastings, vol. 7, p. 653).

    Neither the Kanjar nor the followers of Siva had any formal priesthood (Hubbs, pp. 13, 14; Hastings, vol. 7, p

  • Auschwitz Birkenau Holocaust Killing Spree

    In connection with the Holocaust Day on 27 January, it is worth remembering the Crimes committed by Man against Man and ensure it does not happen again.

     

    Zyklon B Tablets were dropped into the Gas Chambers.
    Zyklon B Tablets

     

    Zyklon-B “crystals” were introduced into the homicidal gas chambers through metal tubes of 2 or 3 cm diameter [running parallel to the ground!] , tubes which, in fact, were used to diffuse carbon monoxide coming from metal cylinders outside. I found this impossible association in the Investigation Section of the Warsaw Central Commission. I saw there a photocopy of a French newspaper article illustrated by a can of Zyklon-B surrounded by its “crystals” [Photo 1] PASTED DIRECTLY NEXT TO the funnel used for pouring a liquid found at the Natzweiler [Photo 3]

     

    The relative confusion about the method of using the toxic product in the gas chambers was aggravated by the fact that the SS Bauleitung often grouped in the same building two completely different sanitary functions: showers and incineration furnaces (for example in the Natzweiler camp in France). This proximity brought about a forced association. While in many homicidal gas chambers the showerheads were dummy, there were many testimonies that asserted that the toxic gas was diffused by them. Confusion reinforced by the fact that Zyklon-B was, above all, the regulation pest control agent used by the Wehrmacht, used to delouse effects and combat insects and rodents in premises. During the trials that were held after the war, the tons of Zyklon-B ordered by the camps were attributed to homicidal use without any verification. By far the greater part (over 95 percent) was destined for delousing (effects and buildings) while only a very small part (less than 5 percent) had been used for homicidal gassings.

    Delousing the Victims.

    Although dated 23rd November 1943, this drawing 3230 of the Stammlager [Drawing 1] is actually an earlier drawing which has been used just to show the location of the eight new watch towers. The original was probably drawn at the beginning of 1942, which would explain why in 1943 this drawing still shows a projected Krematorium, BW 47a, for which the drawings were 870, 871 and 875. The new Krematorium with its external chimney against the wall is shown in yellow outlined in red and is below Krematorium I, itself in yellow and surrounded by its earth embankment.
    A: The delousing gas chamber in Block I.
    B: The two delousing rooms on the ground floor of Block 26.
    C: The two clothing delousing gas chambers on the first floor of Block 3.
    This drawing proves that the numbering of the Blocks in the main camp varied according to the period and was different from that which we know now. An ex-prisoner may speak of Block 8 of the Stammlager, whereas now it is No. 23. Extreme care is required with the testimony of survivors who must always be asked to precisely situate and date the action of their accounts, something which is, unfortunately, often forgotten, particularly in France.

    The document supplied is at the very limit of legibility, for the PMO does not have the original which is said to be in Moscow in the “October Revolution” Central State Archives. There is a good photograph of this drawing in the first bulletin of the Central Commission for the investigation of Hitlerite crimes in Poland, dated 1946. volume 1. page 64. photo No. 5 of the Polish version.

    It’s good to have a goal in life, but the one purportedly expressed by a woman in Warsaw, Poland, may be a stretch.

    Ania Lisewska, 21, is allegedly attempting to travel to every city in the world so she can have sex with at least 100,000 men for 20 minutes each.

    “I want men from Poland, Europe and all around the world. I love sex, fun and men,” she said, according to the Austrian Times. “In Poland the subject of sex is still taboo and anyone who wants to fulfill their sexual fantasies is considered a deviant, a whore or mentally ill.”

    The supposed sex marathon allegedly began last month in Warsaw, according to her Facebook page, and she hopes to have her way across Poland before moving to other countries.

    So far, she’s had sex with 284 men, according to Fakt.pl and didn’t let the fact she has a serious boyfriend stop her.

    He told the Polish language website he was “not thrilled” with her unusual hobby, but had no choice and “had to come to terms” with it.

    Her Facebook page currently only has slightly more than 9,000 likes, but Lisewska is allegedly attempting to attract potential partners by setting up a website where they can register and kept apprised of her current activities.

    Irene Hizme, A Twin Remembers the Medical Experiments at Auschwitz

    Irene and her twin brother Rene were born Renate and Rene Guttmann. The family moved to Prague shortly after the twins’ birth, where they were living when the Germans occupied Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939. A few months later, uniformed Germans arrested their father. Decades later, Irene and Rene learned that he was killed at the Auschwitz camp in December 1941. Irene, Rene, and their mother were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto, and later to the Auschwitz camp. At Auschwitz, the twins were separated and subjected to medical experiments. Irene and Rene remained separated for some time after their liberation from Auschwitz. The group Rescue Children brought Irene to the United States in 1947, where she was reunited with Rene in 1950.

    Personal Account: “I, of course, have, um, unfortunately a lot of memories of, um, of the hospital and, um, the doctor’s office. It, I seem to recall spending a great deal of time, um, there. And also being in the hospital and being very sick. And, um, I know one time, when I went to the doctor’s office, that they took blood from me and, it was extremely painful because it was from the left side of my neck. That’s a strange thing to remember. I also remember having blood taken out of my finger, but that wasn’t quite so bad. And I also remember having to sit, um, very still for long periods to be measured and, or weighed, or in X rays. I rem…I remember X rays, X rays. Um…and injections. I remember injections. And then I’d be sick. Because then I, I’d be in this hospital. And I remember having a high fever, because I know they were taking my temperature, somebody was. Um, I really got to hate doctors. I, I got to be afraid. I used, I was terribly scared of doctors, I still am. They’re a nightmare. Hospitals are out of the question and illness is unacceptable.”

  • Body Odour Self Portrait? ‘Smell Me’

    How do we people imagine this?

    Yet there is a point.

    smell-me-art/smell_me_660.jpg
    In an experiment to extract sweat for Smell Me, Martynka Wawrzyniak swathed herself in bandages and Crisco. At right, the finished product

    I think I’m part canine,” jokes New York artist Martynka Wawrzyniak. “I follow my nose in terms of how I read and react to other people, so I’ve always been obsessed with olfactory senses.”

    The idea that odor informs identity would explain Wawrzyniak’s new exhibition Smell Me, opening Saturday at envoy enterprises gallery in New York. The show, which runs through Nov. 18, showcases vials of the artist’s scientifically extracted hair oils, sweat and tears. In addition, a Scent Chamber blasts visitors with clouds of perfume — some of it synthesized directly from Wawrzyniak’s armpit by scent experts Yann Vasnier and Dawn Goldworm.

    “I wanted to create a self-portrait that was completely stripped of the visual prejudice that we usually associate with judging a person, or judging a woman specifically,” Wawrzyniak told Wired by phone. “To me, the olfactory aura we carry around with us is very much a physical mix of chemicals.”

    Wawrzyniak, who grew up in Poland and emigrated to New Zealand before arriving in the United States to pursue art at the age of 18, says her Smell Me project (.pdf) expresses her reaction to a society she believes has neutered one of nature’s most powerful forms of subliminal communication.

    “We’ve completely stopped using this primal method of communication between each other that enables our bodies to send out messages that we pick up like antennae on a subconscious level. Instead, we’re doing everything we can to mask ourselves with deodorant soaps and laundry powders.
