Resumo: |
The objective of this work describe and explain some aspects of the hindu rituals performed in São Paulo by some groups, which referer to in Hinduism. We start with a pluralist conception to varied universes within a Western metropolis where we observe the Oriental paradigm within a peaceful co-existence of elements which re-define themselves and integrate into the São Paulo cultural background, clouding the issues related to tradition. We study Hinduism, its concepts of religiosity and the world, establishing some parallelisms with the New Age and Counter Culture movements because these are considered to be significant tendencies towars the expansion of these beliefs. Studies were done of the rituals common to the Hare Krishna movements and those related to Yoga and esotheric spaces. We also analysed another movement called Agnihotra which incorporates the hindu rituals into science. The method chosen was the analysis of vedic philosophy with emfhasis on the religious aspects, indetifying the values which hold to Hinduism in order to understand the world into which these rituals are being inserted. We hope that , through this work , we can contribute to the study of the reality present in this city called São Paulo |
