The Mundelein High School auditorium has staged more than 100 plays, musicals, and concerts. It just so happens to be that the school’s auditorium is my happy place. Mundelein High School’s theatre is where I feel content because: its history is rich, I’ve accomplished many things there, and those accomplishments have changed my life in extraordinary ways. Mundelein High School’s theatre is a place where the past lives on and where anything can happen. To begin with, in the scene shop and various

I also actively serve as the treasurer for my district’s troupe of the International Thespian Society, where I practice financial business skills by budgeting and fundraising.

In addition to this in 1991 Wollheim was awarded for his distinguished services to psychoanalysis by the International Society for Psychoanalysis. It is these personal and political affiliations which shaped the highly uncritical nature of the text. ‘Freud’ published in 1971 was written during an era when
Krishna movement falls into these categories, but first allow me to provide some background information. Hare Krishna is a relatively new "eastern" religion founded on the backbone of Hindu teachings. It is referred to in some instances as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness denoted ISKCON. The Hare Krishna movement dates back to ancient India although it was technically not founded until 1966 in the United States by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Hare Krishna is based on many of
Considered by most as the authority and seminal scripture relaying together all schools of Hindu philosophy, the Bhagavad Gita, is simply one big epic poem (by Western standards), where Sri Krishna reveals himself to Arjuna, a warrior on the eve of a great war with his own family to restore the throne to its rightful heir. This epic serves as metaphor for The Path the spiritual aspirant must take to attain illumination and become one with Krishna. (http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-bhagavad-gita/)
For others, Krishna is very important god. The 5,000 years old Indian Vedic scriptures clearly describe the nature and identity of Lord Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead (McPhee & Rigolot, 2011). Hare Krishna is the name for the International Society of Krishna Consciousness known as Iskon. Hare Krishna is a new religious movement based in Vaishnava Hinduism. The Hare Krishna Cultural Center is a Hindu temple in Miami. The Hare Krishna Movement members follow the ancient scriptures of
beliefs. I was always curious about other religions. I decided to attend a Hindu ceremony for this assignment because I find this particular religion to be very interesting. I attended a ceremony at the temple of ISKCON, which stands for “The International Society for Krishna Consciousness”. ISKCON is a worldwide movement started by “His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupād”, and it is dedicated to the values and practice of Bhakti Yoga (also known as the path of dedication and love) in this
I have been a fan of The Beatles since my early childhood, and have always wondered what inspired them to write their music. Throughout history, music has brought Indian society and civilization together, often doing so contradictory to the conflict between the major religious sects of South Asia. The symbolism behind music provides common musical practice, and they are shared across sacred boundaries of many kinds. The religious and philosophical unity presented through musical practice has deep
nineteen years old Richard Slavin who lives with his parents in Chicago, Illinois and tries to figure out the purpose of life. In 1960’s, when Richie turns nineteen years old, he begins to crave a purpose in life beyond wealth, prestige, and the fads of society. He could not live in peace with himself knowing that African Americans are imprisoned like slaves in the ghettos just miles away.

women, vaisyas (merchants), as well as sudras (workers) -- can approach the supreme destination." (Bhagavad Gita, 9:32) This places women in a spiritual role similar to that of men. However, because of the place of women in traditional Indian society, women are thought to be inferior. This is clearly expressed in the Gita in a number of chapters. Women are thought to be untrustworthy and stupid, easily corrupted (1:40), and a hindrance to men on the path to liberation (16:11- 12). The
Yes, I agree with EM Forster that A Passage to India is not a political novel. Instead, it explores the vastness of infinity and seems (at first) to portray nothing. In those two words alone, `infinity', and `nothing', is the allusion of wondering, and wandering spirits. The title, A Passage to India, evokes a sense of journey and destination. When we string these two ideas together the novel begins to reveal itself as a garland worn in humble tribute to India. With this garland around his neck

“If your dreams don’t scare you, they are not big enough” (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf). My dream is to be a music teacher, and it terrifies me. As more and more schools cut their music programs, there are less opportunities to land a job. More importantly, there are less opportunities for students to find their passion in music. Music is a form of expression when words are not enough. People turn to music for so many reasons. We sing at church and at Christmastime, at weddings and in the car with our
