| | Idaho Don and the Lost Crusader Temple Skull Meme: The End! | | 2008-07-06 11:00:50 | | Our story so far: (Ohhh sooo far!) In pursuit of the origin of the 123 Meme, the Lewis and LOBO Expedition has plowed, disked, and harrowed their way through 35 blogs, leaving a trail of overturned topsoil and empty beer bottles in its wake.Identifying themselves as Chelle B at each of the blogs they plundered, our heroes, utilizing survival instincts normally associated with higher level organisms such as lichen, have managed to divert any potential retribution to someone who actually seems to enjoy being offended. After surviving the incredibly tedious 123 meme rapids, which would have stripped the readership of many a better humor blogger, ( Brent Diggs) Idaho Don and LOBO have arrived safely at a peaceful and calm lake. Or have they???As our story continues, LOBO reveals a terrifying truth:"...It's the Cat People!!""Cat People...Sure. Pass me up a beer...Thanks...Cat People, huh?

| | Was the Taj Mahal a Vedic Temple? | | 2008-04-21 22:41:10 | | The following is an interesting topic or rather controversy raised following the research done by Prof.P. N. Oak which provided evidences that Taj was a Hindu temple.V shall here post the contents of an e-mail explaining the same..."The Moghul Emperor Shah Jahan in the memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal built the Taj Mahal. It was built in 22 years (1631 to 1653) by 20,000 artisans brought to India from all over the world! . Many people believe Ustad Isa of Iran designed it." This is what your guide probably told you if you ever visited the Taj Mahal" but what about the following....No one has ever challenged it except Prof. P. N. Oak, who believes the whole world has been duped. In his book Taj Mahal: The True Story, Oak says the Taj Mahal is not Queen Mumtaz's tomb but an ancient Hindu temple palace of Lord Shiva (then known as Tejo Mahalaya). In the course of his research Oak discovered that the Shiva temple palace was usurped by Shah Jahan from then Maharaja of Jaipur, Jai Singh. In h | | By: YOUNGISTAN-Land of Youth | | |

| | Box temple expands itself to encroach public land | | 2008-04-08 09:25:00 | | There was a small projection to a compound wall in front of one of the houses wherein a Ganesha Idol was kept and few local people worshipping it. Quite a harmless thing.But I happened to notice recently that a small makeshift fence has been set up around this box temple, occupying public land.No wonder, if this box temple will expand itself to occupy 50% of the road in next 6-12 months. Building places of religious worship is an easy way to make money and occupy precious real estate. Due to sensitive nature of the issue politicians and administration often hesitate to take stern action. Just keeping on record current scenario here, we’ll revisit this post after an year or so to see if the temple has occupied more space by expanding itself. Probably a bigger temple will be built around it with stories cooked up to highlight the historical significance of this place or how powerful this particular god is.Related post: Omkareshwara Temple, Madikeri * Ganesha Festival AftermathBrought | | By: eNidhi - A professional amateur | | |
| | | Impression from the 8th Annual Aikido Summit at the Denver Buddhist Temple in Denver, Colorado – March 22nd 2008 | | 2008-04-07 14:07:00 | | Edgar Johannsen Sensei's personality and drive is, perhaps, the only reason that the Colorado Aikido Summit has come to fruition once again. It is only because of Edgar's amiable, easy going disposition that he is able to successfully blend with all the diverse personalities in the Colorado Aikido community and bring us all together each year to share in our similarities and learn from our differences. The Aikido Summit is a great place for younger Aikido students to experience a wide array of Aikido styles once they have attained their black belt and created a foundation from which to build. It is also an opportunity for more veteran black belts to get refocused on their own training and decide what aspects to develop on in the coming year. Having attended several previous Colorado Aikido Summits, this year's was in many ways very much the same as years past. Therefore, it was my responsibility to be sure that I took away from it something new and different. The Aikido styles repres | | By: Castle Rock Aikido | | |

| | shinagawa temple torii gate | | 2008-04-06 00:00:00 | |
居然な品川鳥居
quiet little place near kitashinagawa station; this temple lies on one of the tokyo temple pilgrimage walking trails that roughly follow the line of the old edo highway (the old, old road connecting Edo (current Tokyo) with Kyoto).
two nifty things i'd found out.
first: Tokyo's kanji (Japanese representation) is: 東京(都). kyoto's kanji is 京都(府). a long time ago, someone told me that the reason tokyo's kanji and kyoto's look alike has to do with history-- with tokyo's becoming the capital of japan. you see, the kanji "東" means "east"-- so, with a little simplification, "tokyo city" roughly means "eastern kyoto".
second,this gate structure marks the entrance to a shinto shrine; the shape is also quite symbolic. consider the kanji 天, which means "heaven"-- apparently, the shape of the torii gate is meant to be the same as that kanji; that is, when you pass through the tori | | By: Sorafoto - Photoblog from Japan | | |

...now, adjacent the graveyard (previous day) lay another temple that i felt represented "modern japan" in many ways. in yesterday's post, i had to really consider the angle through which i was taking the shot, to avoid having the city of tokyo within the same frame. in this shot, however, i wanted to show the very reality of tokyo: everything is close together; all space is precious. behind this ancient temple is an apartment building still under construction; sometimes i wonder what the residents will think of living so close to the temple-- will they be able to smell the incense on the morning breeze? will they awaken with the sound of this bell being rung? | | By: Sorafoto - Photoblog from Japan | | |
| | | | 隣の寺 (my neighbor, temple) | | 2008-03-25 00:00:00 | |
perhaps one of the first books that people read when they come to Japan (or when they're deciding whether to come!) is Dave Berry's commentary on this society. his observations are quite keen-- and i think that his book has one of the most amazing descriptions of how buildings are arranged in japan: that there is no arrangement per se.
as a result, we can see unique pairings of structures-- and such isn't limited to tokyo, either: in Kamakura, across from gokurakuji temple lies another smaller temple, shown here. for some reason, this pair really typifies how kamakura feels: both ancient and new.

He placed Prince Narissaranuwattiwong, the nation's chief architect, in change of the design and construction. The name Marble Temple derives from the phra ubosot , which is square and completely covered with white marble . In it is enshrined a reproduction of the Phra Buddhachinarat image, which King Rama V had copied from the original in Phitsanulok Province. [ Phra Buddhachinarat image ]In the cloister extending from the north, around the west, to the south of the phra ubosot , there are 52 Buddha images of various styles and periods. In the monastic residence area is a royal ordination hall, which was reconstructed there after having been moved from the Grand Palace. It was in this King Rama V lived when he entered the monkhood. The murals in this building are of historical interest, showing courtly customs and traditions during the reigns of King Rama IV and Rama V. source: dhammathaiRelated tags : Wat Benjamabophit/marble temple/Bangkok/Thailand Temple/Wat Thai | | By: Wat Thai Temple | | |

We took a local taxi to get there and we asked the driver to wait for us for a few minutes because we knew we could hardly find a cab to get back to the hotel. There were only few people when we got there, maybe because many of the Taoist devotees have their rituals

| | Luxor East Bank, Amun Temple (Karnak temple) | | 2007-12-19 09:21:00 | | The Amun temple of Karnak (on the eastern bank of the Nile, near the modern town of Luxor in Middle Egypt) is the largest ancient Egyptian temple that can still be visited today. Around 2.000 BC, this was the site of only a modest temple, but the next twenty centuries saw it enlarged and embellished without end. The last major extension came in the 4th century BC, when a new, massive entrance building was constructed: the 1 st pylon. This was incorporated into a mud-brick enclosure wall, 13 meters across at its base, over 20 meters high.1 It defined henceforward the perimeter of the Amun precinct, roughly 500 x 600 meters: an area of 30 hectares (75 acres). For orientating oneself in this huge complex, its ten monumental gateway buildings or pylons offer a convenient means of reference (see the plan on the next page). Their modern numbering however (from 1 st till 10th pylon) is derived from the order in which one would see them during a visit - as we will shortly. It d | | By: Travel to Famous Sites | | |
| | Luxor East Bank (Luxor Temple) | | 2007-12-19 09:12:00 | | The temple complexes of Karnak and Luxor are a little less than two miles apart. The Temple of Luxor was built primarily by one pharaoh, Amenhotep, and is far more coherent than Karnak. King Tut helped complete it, and even Alexander the Great added to it 1000 years later. The temple was the residence of Amun’s consort Mut, and served as a sort of harem. The divine statue of Amun would be brought down from his temple to Luxor to symbolically father the king, and everyone would rejoice. The temple is beautiful, and the central court is spectacular at dusk, when the color of the stone turns to orange. The Luxor Museum houses many of the statues found in the area, protecting them from theft. The black granite statues from the reign of Amenhotep III, discovered in only 1989, are especially stunning. In the temple, I first stopped in the Great Court of Ramses II and looked to me left to find a mosque.

| | temple and cat | | 2007-12-09 23:00:00 | |
i saw this cat and just had to take a photo;he seemed more of a temple guardian of sorts than a mere kitty, really.
it's weird. i suppose that many people must have a particular idea in mind when they take a photo; everyone asks me what kinds of photos i take. and, although i have been asked this question dozens of ties, i never know how to answer it. most recently, when one of my coworkers asked that question, i pondered for a moment and said: "time." i am still unsure why i chose that particular word, but: i guess that's what i enjoy photographing most-- those small fleeting moments in time when something happens; something about the situation captures your heart or mind.
i hope to be reviewing my photo database over the new year break-- i have been thinking of compiling a "temple animals" section or something similar; still don't know. | | By: Sorafoto - Photoblog from Japan | | |

when i was out exploring on my bike one afternoon, i decided to venture to komyoji temple in kamakura. i had been there a few years back, during the summertime, and had taken a few photos of the cats and other animals there.
it struck me that i had gone there at two very different times in my life: the first was when i was so giddy about having come to japan; i would go to kamakura and chat with my dear friend N on the phone while the salt-laden sea breeze tingled my lips. N lived in Boston at the time, and every time that i called her i could close my eyes and feel as though i was just on the opposite side of the harbor or something--instead of being on the opposite side of the globe.
this past time, when i revisited komyoji, these memories flooded back as a part of a waking dream-- and i could feel the sunlight as though it was summertime '02 again; i had reached for my phone to ring N, chat with her for a while-- when i realized that, as she wasn't on the other side of th | | By: Sorafoto - Photoblog from Japan | | |
