স্বধর্ম

উইকিপিডিয়া, মুক্ত বিশ্বকোষ থেকে

স্বধর্ম বা আত্মধর্ম হলো ধর্মীয় বা আত্ম-উন্নত গোষ্ঠী যার প্রাথমিক লক্ষ্যগুলির মধ্যে হল নিজের উন্নতি।[১] পল হিলাস[২] দ্বারা "আত্মধর্ম" শব্দটি তৈরি করা হয়েছিল এবং ধর্মের অন্যান্য পণ্ডিতরা বর্ণনাটি গ্রহন করেছেন। কিংস কলেজ লন্ডনের পণ্ডিত পিটার বার্নার্ড ক্লার্ক হিলাসের আত্মধর্মের ধারণার উপর ভিত্তি করে তৈরি করেছেন "প্রকৃত ধর্মের ধর্ম" শ্রেণীর বর্ণনা করার জন্য।[৩]

সুযোগ[সম্পাদনা]

হ্যানেগ্রাফ উল্লেখ করেছেন যে "স্বধর্ম" সাধারণভাবে নব যুগ আধ্যাত্মিকতার সাথে সমান হতে পারে।[৪] এবং লেখক মাইকেল ইয়র্ক লিখেছেন, "যদি 'আত্মধর্ম' মানে ব্যক্তিগত ব্যাখ্যা এবং ব্যক্তি দ্বারা নির্বাচন, তবে সাধারণ রুব্রিক প্রবণতার ক্ষেত্রে প্রযোজ্যদেরী আধুনিক উত্তর-আধুনিক রূপান্তর, যা কেবলমাত্র নব যুগনব্য-পৌত্তলিক ধর্মের চেয়ে অনেক বেশি জুড়ে রয়েছে।"[৫] আইলেন বার্কার, তার ১৯৯৯ সালের পুস্তক "New Religious Movements"-এ বলেছেন যে তারা "নতুন ধর্মীয় আন্দোলন বর্ণালীর নব যুগের শেষের দিকে"।[৬] ইতালীয় ধর্মের সমাজবিজ্ঞানী মাসিমো ইন্ট্রোভিন আত্মধর্মকে "পবিত্রের প্রতি গভীর কিন্তু অস্পষ্ট ও অসংগঠিত আগ্রহ" হিসেবে বর্ণনা করেন।[৭]

Two months later one might find them chanting 'Hare Hrishna', 'Om Shanti' or, perhaps, 'Nam Myoho Renge Kyo'.

Heelas writes in his very first paragraph: "And the founder of est (the highly influential seminar training established by Erhard in 1971) observes that, 'Of all the disciplines that I studied, and learned, Zen was the essential one.'" (page 167). And Heelas goes on to discuss est and Erhard a few pages later: "No European city comes anywhere near the 'one out of 34 adults have taken est' figure provided by this organisation for Boston. [...] To the extent that Erhard, for example, is a latter-day Gurdjieffian (it is surely not a coincidence that he devotes himself to what he calls 'The Work') he can appeal to a similar clientele as those attracted to the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man."

Going back a step, however, these developments in turn largely derive from events in Europe. One event, above all others, stands out: Gurdjieff's establishment, in 1922, if the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. [...] Gurdjieff's Institute paved the weay for what was to follow. [...] ASll the basic ingredients of the self-religions are [...] in evidence. As well as provoking what was to come, Gurdjieff's 'The Work' is still alive and well.
