According to ancient Vedic texts (and later through Tantric and Taoist traditions), the energetic, or subtle, body is the foundation of the food, or coarse body, and the bridge between the physical and causal realms. Therefore, the structure of the subtle energetic body provides an intended means for human spiritual development, or evolution (which enables humanity to fulfill its purpose as a conduit between heaven and earth, hence transforming into an entity more subtle, and original). The text’s primary purpose is to present oriental bio-energetic theory, and second, to bridge...

...Bangladesh Religion September 1, 2012 By ARAdmin Islam, the state religion, is the faith of 88 percent of the population, almost all of whom adhere to the Sunni branch. Hindus make up most of the remainder, and the country has small communities of Buddhists, Christians, and animists. Bangladesh is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. Most Bangladeshi Muslims are Sunnis, but there is a small Shia community. Among religious festivals of Muslims Eidul Fitr, Eidul Azha, Eiday Miladunnabi, Muharram etc. are prominent . The contention that Bengali Muslims are all descended from lower-caste Hindus who were converted to Islam is incorrect; a substantial proportion are descendants of the Muslims who reached the subcontinent from elsewhere. Hinduism is professed by about 12 percent of the population. Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, Kali Puja etc. are Hindu festivals. Hindus in Bangladesh are almost evenly distributed in all regions, with concentrations in Khulna, Jessore, Dinajpur, Faridpur, and Barisal. Biharis, who are not ethnic Bangalees, are Urdu-speaking Muslim refugees from Bihar and other parts of northern India. They numbered about 1 million in 1971 but now had decreased to around 600,000. They once dominated the upper levels of the society. They sided with Pakistan during the 1971 war. Hundreds of thousands of Biharis were repatriated to Pakistan after the war. Tribal race constitutes less than 1 percent of the total population. They live in the Chittagong Hills...

...Bangladesh has a subtropical monsoon climate characterized by wide seasonal variations in rainfall, moderately warm temperatures, and high humidity. Regional climatic differences in this flat country are minor. Three seasons are generally recognized: a hot, humid summer from March to June; a cool, rainy monsoon season from June to October; and a cool, dry winter from October to March. In general, maximum summer temperatures range between 32°C and 38°C. April is the warmest month in most parts of the country. January is the coldest month, when the average temperature for most of the country is 10°C. Winds are mostly from the north and northwest in the winter, blowing gently at one to three kilometers per hour in northern and central areas and three to six kilometers per hour near the coast. From March to May, violent thunderstorms, called northwesters by local English speakers, produce winds of up to sixty kilometers per hour. During the intense storms of the early summer and late monsoon season, southerly winds of more than 160 kilometers per hour cause waves to crest as high as 6 meters in the Bay of Bengal, which brings disastrous flooding to coastal areas. Heavy rainfall is characteristic of Bangladesh. With the exception of the relatively dry western region of Rajshahi, where the annual rainfall is about 160 centimeters, most parts of the country receive at least 200 centimeters of rainfall per year (see fig. 1). Because of its location just south of the foothills of the...

...Language Situation in Bangladesh Abstract This paper charts the state of language situation that exists in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has been known as a monolingual country since its independence in 1971, Bangla (or Bengali) being its only national and official language. Therefore multilingualism has not been a political issue in Bangladesh, though a situation beyond the monolingualism can be observed in the language situation of Bangladesh, if the three different scenes— a) distribution of regional varieties of Bangla, b) distribution of indigenous languages and c) trend of foreign language use in different social settings— are taken into consideration. Keywords Bangladesh, Language situation, Regional varieties of Bangla, Minority languages, Foreign language use Introduction The aim of this paper is to chart the present state of language situation beyond monolingualism that exists in Bangladesh. Bangladesh has been known as a monolingual country with the population of 150 million (approximately), Bangla (or Bengali) being its only national and official language since its independence in 1971. However, before the independence, the region now known as Bangladesh had been existed as a multilingual country for centuries throughout its social and political development. In the early period of history, there were various aboriginal speech communities including mainly the speakers of Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman languages distributed throughout the different regions...

...dignity and respect. Because every one counts. Thoraya Obaid, Executive Director, UNFPA 1.1 BACK GROUND OF THE STUDY Bangladesh though a small country in area, is one of the densely populated countries in the world along with136.7 (BDHS 2004) million people having 953 ( national economic review 2007) persons per square kilometer. But it is a country of variety with different landscapes and waterscapes. The south- eastern hill tracts of Bangladesh including three districts Rangamati, Khagrachari, and Bandarban are the biggest abode of different tribal communities which occupy one tenth of our land and more than one percent of total population of the country. In Bangladesh there are approximately 45 tribal communities (MOHFW 2004) like Chakma, Marma, Murang, Khumi, Hajong, Monipuri, khashia, Garo, Mog, Rakhain, and the majority of them live in these hilly districts. The tribals are the economically backward ethnic group. They are food gathers, hunters, forestland cultivators, and minor forest product collectors. They lived in isolation with near to nature hence, called son of soil. Tribes constitute separate socio-cultural groups having distinct customs, language, traditions, marriage, kinship, property inheritance system and living largely in agricultural and pre-agricultural level of technology. The dependency on nature and impoverished economy affect population growth and control, literacy, sex ratio, pregnancy procedure, sexual and health care. In tribal people, interference of supernatural...

A multi-national country has a big amount of people from different country, culture, language etc. But in Bangladesh there is the majority portion of peoples are Bengali. Their mother language is Bengali, they have the same culture. There are some tribal nations (Khasheas, Marmas, Chakmas, Santals etc.) over 1 million but that’s very little amount where the total Bangladesh population is over 160 million. These minority groups aren’t dominating at all compare to the total population of Bangladesh. “Bangladesh's tribal population consists of about 1 million people, just under 1 percent of the total population. They live primarily in the Chittagong Hills and in the regions of Mymensingh, Sylhet, and Rajshahi.” Another important thing is Religion. There is mainly 4 religions people in Bangladesh. They are Muslims (90.4%), Hindus (8.2%), Buddhist (Below 1%) and Christian (Below 1%). So the majority people follows Islam. For that reason we can also say it’s a mono-national state. Many times the Bengali identity used both negatively and positively in politics. In 1947 Indian Subcontinent divided into...

...Culture and Society Culture is the reflection of our lifestyle and society. It is culture which makes one society different from another. Society is the largest form of human group who shares a common culture. Members of the society learn the culture and transmit it from one generation to the next. So culture and society is linked with each other. Culture is basically the summation of social customs and traditions which are carried from one generation to other, knowledge, material objects, values, belief, language, behavior and many more. So culture is a vast topic. In our daily life the term culture is used to complement any fine art or refined intellectual taste or any socially praised behavior. But in sociological term culture includes all elements and ideas of a society. A group of people who cultivates soil by hand has just as much culture as the group of people who relies on computer operated machinery has. But their cultures are different from each other. A particular society has a particular culture. The major theoretical perspectives on culture and society: Sociologists view culture and society from different perspectives. They are given below - • If we analyze culture and society from the functionalist perspective “Culture reflects a society’s strong central values”. • If we analyze culture and society from the conflict perspective “Culture reflects a society’s dominant ideology”. • If we analyze culture and society from the interactionist perspective...

...Tourism in Bangladesh Bangladesh as a vacation land has many facets. Her tourist attractions include archaeological sites, historic mosques and monuments, resorts, beaches, picnic spots, forest and wildlife. Bangladesh offers opportunities for angling, water-skiing, river cruising, hiking, rowing, surfing, yachting and sea bathing as well as bringing one in close touch with Mother Nature. She is also rich in wildlife and game birds. HISTORY: The history of Bangladesh has been one of extremes, of turmoil and peace, prosperity and destitution. It has thrived under the glow of cultural spiendour and suffered under the ravages of war. The earliest mention of Bangladesh is found in the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata (the story of Great Battle-9th century B.C). Evidence also suggests that there was a strong Mongoloid presence as well. Soon after, in the 5th and 6th centuries B.C. came the Aryans from Central Asia and the Dravidians from Western India. Then came the Guptas, Palas, Senas, who were Buddhist and Hindus. From the 13th century A.D. the flood of Muslim invaders and the tide of Islam swamped the Buddhist and Hindus untold 8th century. Sometimes there were independent rulers like the Hussain Shahi and Ilyas Shahi dynasties while at other times they ruled on behalf of the imperial seat of Delhi. From 15th century the Europeans, namely; Portuguese, Dutch, French and British traders exerted an economic influence over the region. British political rule over the region...
