The Romani Hindu Faith/Dharma, Culture & History

God = The Absolute Reality But how is it divided and how to understand it? I'll try to explain. Brahman: In Hinduism, Brahman is the name for the Absolute, the Supreme Reality in the universe. It is the immaterial, efficient, formal and final cause of all that exists. It is also understood as the ultimate reality and the basis of everything. There are two main forms of Brahman: Saguna Brahman and Nirguna Brahman, which I will explain below. Param Brahman: Param Brahman (or Para Brahman) is the "Supreme Brahman" in Hindu philosophy, which is beyond all descriptions and conceptualizations. It is described as a formlessness that eternally pervades everything, everywhere in the universe and what is beyond. He is also known as Nirguna Brahman. Nirguna Brahman: Nirguna Brahman refers to the concept that Brahman is beyond time and space. It is the idea that Brahman has no concrete form and is present in all living beings and everywhere, that is, it is transcendent and beyond hu...

ROMOVÉ - Z pohledu Genetiky, Rasologie, Lingvistiky a Historie Začněme od začátku, aneb úvod do historického dění; Lidé rodu Homo Sapiens do dnešní Jižní Asie přišli zhruba před 100.000-300.000 lety z Afriky, dále část těchto pak pokračovala v migraci do Jihovýchodní Asie, Austrálie a Oceánie. Lidé v Jižní Asii, Jihovýchodní Asii, Austrálii a Oceánii patřili a někde dodnes patří do tzv. Australoidní Rasy. K Australoidní Rase patří i Praobyvatelé (Adivasiové) Jižní Asie. Jižní Asie se jiným jménem jmenuje Indický Subkontinent. K Australoidní Rase patří i Negrité, ke kterým se řadí i obyvatelé Andamanských a Nikobarských ostrovů. Nejvíce známé kmeny na Andamanech a Nikobarech jsou Jarawa (Džarawa) a Onge. Jarawa a Onge jsou také v genetických kalkulačkách užívaní jako proxy (což je náhradní zastoupení něčeho) pro tzv. AASI populace (AASI = Ancient Ancestral South Indian, což v překladu je Starověká populace Předků Jižních Indů, jde tedy o Jihoasijské lovce a sběrače). Australoidní Rasa n...

DEVEL/DEVLA/DEL/DEVL/DEIL Toto slovo jednoducho znamená „Boh“. Ale rómske názory na túto entitu boli pôvodne (a čiastočne stále sú) rovnaké ako Param Brahman, tiež nazývaný Nirguna Brahman, t. j. entita, ktorá je mimo všetkých popisov a konceptualizácií, je opísaná ako beztvarosť, ktorá večne preniká všetkým, všade v vesmír a to, čo je za ním, a je nezmeniteľné. Najbližšie kresťanské priblíženie k tomuto pojmu je "Otec" alebo ešte lepšie "Duch Svätý", ale zdá sa, že Rómovia nikdy nepochopili rozdiel medzi Otcom a Duchom Svätým, čo jednoducho ukazuje, že to bolo mimo rómskych predstáv a že sme boli pokresťančení. Ale aj toto slovo môže byť použité pre akéhokoľvek personalizovaného Boha, keďže sme späť na indickom subkontinente buď nasledovali iba jednu sektu v rámci dharmy, alebo jednoducho časom prišlo zjednodušenie so stratou konceptov (tiež niektoré filozofické koncepty dharmy sa vyvinuli po tom, čo sme opustili subkontinent a väčšina konceptov bola nedostatočne r...

ROMA OLD BELIEFS (more detailed + what I found in recent times from among the narrations of the elders) DEVEL/DEVLA/DEL/DEVL/DEIL This word simply means "God". But Romani views of this entity were originally (and partly still are) same like of the Param Brahman, also called Nirguna Brahman, i.e. entity which is beyond all descriptions and conceptualisations, it is described as a formlessness that eternally pervades everything, everywhere in the universe and what is beyond, and is unchangeable. Closest Christian approximation to this concept are the Father or yet better the Holy Ghost, but it seems that the Roma never understood the difference between the Father and the Holy Ghost, which simply shows that it was beyond Romani concepts and that we were Christianised. But also this word may be used for any personalised God, as we back in the Indian Subcontinent either followed only one sect within Dharma or simply over time came simplification with losing concepts (also some of ...

The origin of the name Roma, Domari & Loma In a part of South Asia historically known as Bharat (nowadays India, Pakistan, Nepal & Bangladesh) exists a group of people called the Domba or Dom (which is either ethnic group or caste umbrella of various jatis within Śudra varna ), in Sanskrit known as  ḍoma  (pronounced as Roma, with retroflexed R , which in some Romani dialects survives till present). The Domba/Dom are mostly nomadic group , but exists settled down communities, most of them are of Śudra varna and very few of them are Dalits. The Dom are among other things musicians, blacksmiths, snake-leaders and acrobats. Which corresponds with traditional Romani jobs. Its presumed root,  ḍom , which is connected with drumming , is linked to  damara  and  d amaru , Sanskrit terms for "drum" and the Sanskrit verbal root डम्  ḍam-  'to sound (as a drum)', perhaps a loan from  D ravidian , e.g. Kannada   ḍamāra  'a pair ...
