Really you are telling me what I know <span style="font-style: italic">(in my Dr. friend’s voice)</span>?
You kept saying why did they use an African American Hairstyle, then you said it would be the same if they used a Caribbean Hairstyle.
I said Dreadlocks is not a Caribbean Hairstyle and you again come forward with some other argument so I just left because I knew I was going to be subjected to another Saki expertise. Having been a Rastafarian myself, born in Jamaican became a Rastafarian before it was about weed and music I knew what he connection was. Since I have gone of it on this board 50 times already it really never made sense to finish the convo.
I did not know you mentioned Indians but I am talking about East Indian and East Indian Rituals not Indians found in the West that were already wiped off the face of Jamaica before the British captured it and could not have influenced Jamaican Rastafarians where as weed, religion and deportment is concerned.

Do what I advise and look up the Pinnacle and the man described as the first Rasta. Even though he himself was not a dreadlocks.

Tuffy Tuffy long ago I made the indian rasta connection on here and was told off by the multiple black nationalist...

As for the African connection in India Garvey claimed to repreent 50 million black people in India.... The term Kali weed is Sancrit.... I recall listening to BBC radio play on RJR and I beleive it was the Sign of the 4.. A Anderman islander was featured as an assain,,, He was then described as small as a child and black....

One recalls the picture of the buddah and I beleive that his hear was in discrete packages like someone from the Congo basin.. I think Rogers made that observations..

You are always immersed in 'black' discussions but can never really 'relate'. God you are so clueless but then again you are a typical racist.

yes there is a strong connection between rasta and some of the ancient indian mysticism.
there is a sect that wears dreadlocks and meditates with ganja...also leonard howell's commune had an indian bredrin as one of the original members...even howell's nickname 'the gong' some thought had indian influence...

no question rastafari's origins had some indian influence...

Re: King Raja Raja of India had dreadlocks

quote:

&quot;Howell led a community of otherwise poor downtrodden black people to a self sufficient and independent livelihood that they might not have known or acknowledged without the great teachings of &quot;black solidarity&quot; brought to them by &quot;<span style="font-weight: bold">the Gong</span>&quot;, Leonard Howell. Howell being a world traveler and friend to many, brought him into close contact with many people from all over, <span style="font-weight: bold">includingJamaican/East Indians</span>. <span style="font-weight: bold">This unknown fact is a big reason for the large Indian influence some may find also among some practices of the Rastafari bredrin and sistren</span>. Built on many acres of land, at it's height, the Pinnacle Community was known to consist of up to more than 4000 people. The Gong also compiled, wrote, and published a book entitled The Promised Key in the early 1930s which contains many early Rasta teachings. He published the book under the name <span style="font-weight: bold">G. G. Maragh </span>to maintain his anonimity (<span style="font-style: italic"> think that's the same surname as dj supercat </span>). And due to his revolutionary runnings, and after continuous harrasment, Babylon system eventually charged him and committed him to an asylum, tearing down and burning the community. Along with others like Robert Hinds, H. Archibald Dunkley, Joseph Hibbert , and a small group of other Garveyites, Black Ethiopians, and other visionaries, Howell and these Bredrin are the original founding Fathers of the Rastafarian Faith.&quot;

that's very interesting.

I'm aware of two legends behind the Buddha's hair as it is often depicted. Very little opportunity is wasted in Buddhism to deliver some kind of teaching or wisdom, especially in visual displays.

One states that when he renounced his princehood and shaved his hair off, what remained snapped into right turning curls and stayed that way, as witness to his awakening, and never grew again- which is why although monastics shave their heads few of his depictions are shown that way.

The other is that while he was under the fig tree, a group of snails saw him, realized how important his meditation was and that he was about to save all living creatures if he should succeed, and so they came up to his head and shielded him from the sun, sacrificing themselves as they dried out in the heat.

What is the symbolism behind the shell style in the Congo, if any, or is it simply stylistic.
