According to Hinduism, in understanding any individual personality, a distinction is made between one's Swadharma (essence) and Swabhava(mental habits and conditionings of ego personality).
Svabhava is the nature of a person, which is a result of his or her samskaras (impressions created in the mind due to one's interaction with the external world). These samskaras create habits and mental models and those become our nature.
Dharma is derived from the root Dhr - to hold. It is that which holds an entity together. That is, Dharma is that which gives integrity to an entity and holds the core quality and identity (essence), form and function of that entity. Dharma is also defined as righteousness and duty. To do one's dharma is to be righteous, to do one's dharma is to do one's duty (express one's essence).

Jaipur, Índia

Galwar Bagh, ou Templo dos Macacos, é um local de culto ao Deus Brahma, Criador do Universo, e fica em Jaipur.
Dizem que a água que enche o tanque veio do Rio Ganges, e é, por isso, sagrada.

Este instrumento foi chamado Jay Prakash Yantra (Yantra significa instrumento), e faz parte de uma série de instrumentos de observação astronómica que se podem encontrar no Observatório Jantar Mantar, em Jaipur.
O Observatório foi construído pelo Marajah Jai Singh II no século XVIII, e encontrava-se em obras de recuperação quando o visitámos.
É aqui que se encontra um dos maiores relógios de sol do mundo, o Samrat Yantra, que permite saber as horas com um máximo de imprecisão de 2 segundos. Incrível, não?
A ver se ponho uma foto dele brevemente, mesmo cheio de andaimes...

This is the panama hat made in Panama.
There is another hat, the famous one:
"A Panama hat or just Panama is a traditional brimmed hat that is made from the plaited leaves of the panama-hat palm (Carludovica palmata). Despite the name, genuine Panama hats are made in Ecuador, not Panama; their name comes from the fact that they came to prominence during the construction of the Panama Canal when thousands of the hats were imported from Ecuador for use by the construction workers."
