Chariot

The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to as the Gita, is a sacred Hindu scripture comprising a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and the deity Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. Set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, the Gita is a profound philosophical discourse that addresses the moral dilemmas faced by Arjuna and provides guidance on duty, righteousness, and the path to spiritual fulfillment. Krishna imparts teachings on various paths of yoga, including karma yoga (the yoga of selfless action), bhakti yoga (the yoga of devotion), and jnana yoga (the yoga of knowledge). He emphasizes the importance of performing one's duty without attachment to the fruits of actions and advocates for a life dedicated to selfless service and devotion to the divine. Throughout the Gita, Krishna elucidates profound concepts such as the eternal soul (atman), the transient nature of the physical body, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The Gita's overarching message is one of self-realization, urging individuals to transcend the ego, cultivate inner peace, and attain spiritual liberation through unwavering devotion and righteous action.

In the wizard world, the mysterious magic cube gave Lin Suo the ability to fuse all things. However, sometimes the recipe was a bit strange. The Evil God would shake his head when he looked at it. Horse corpse x 2 + stone + wood + clay + tent cloth = Double Horse Chariot. Octopus corpse + flower of enlightenment + black goat corpse = octopus flower with black hair? Skeleton + Bloodthirsty Vine + Vampire Eyeball = Thorny Creature Eyeball??? Lin Suo: As long as there are corpses in the recipe, it will definitely make the Evil God frown

Lu Ming woke up to find that everyone in the world had entered the game of Road Survival. All lives were equal here! Each person had a car and a hammer, and the rest was up to themselves! Just when the crowd was killing a camp for a sip of water, a piece of meat to enable a single RPG, and a weapon to betray the entire alliance, Lu Ming awakened to an upgrade system where everything could be upgraded!

Kivas Chariot was struck by the sun, resulting in an unrecoverable corruption within his soul. With no Worlds willing to take him, he became a Disgraced, barred from entering the cycle of reincarnation and doomed to be crippled as he repeated his next beginnings in Ad Infinitum. However, through a fateful encounter with the Deity of Exploration, he got reborn as an Amalgam. A weird looking tadpole-shaped blob with three arms, with one of them holding the Torch of Blight. He couldn't see, hear, touch, nor perceive anything beyond the illumination of his flickering eternal torch. Fortunately for him, the Deity of Exploration decided to grace this torch of his with random selectable upgrades for every discovery milestone that he reached. The catch was, Death would reset all of it to zero. "If I get a nickel every time I spawn somewhere that will result in my death almost immediately, I would have five. Which isn't much, but I'm sick of it reoccurring!" T'was the beginning of an atrocious and painful Era of Roguelike Exploration. ____________ The cover illustration belongs to its respective creator.

Can love be painted on the hands of time? Can it ride on the chariot of forever? Maybe it can, or maybe Ada was a fool for trying. For love alone, she brought back her lover who was meant to die. She brought balance to the world and peace reigned for thousands of years. She united the people. She turned foes to friends, and battle knives to kitchen utensils. But... The daughters of sorrow have been betrayed and they are out for revenge. They want humanity destroyed. They want everything on earth to crumble and Ifenyinwa was the one they sent to bring the world to its knees. This was long after Ada had died. Being a descendant of Ada, Ifenyinwa was sent to make sure Ada's lineage was wiped from the face of the earth. She was instructed to burn the world. To turn it to dust. However, Kanze, a member of the brotherhood, and a demon hunter was also sent to kill Ifenyinwa. He had taken an oath of vengeance on all those responsible for the death of his family. He was supposed to fall in love with Ifenyinwa and kill her in the process, and that was exactly what he did

It is the biggest religious, cultural and historic street festival of Nepal, particularly within the Kathmandu valley and mainly observed by Newar community. Yenya means "Kathmandu festival" in Nepal Bhasa. It is the time when the advent of the monsoons is celebrated in the name of the rain god 'Indra'. The eight days long celebrations consist of two events. Indra Jatra is marked by masked dances of deities and demons (commonly known as Lakhe Naach, Mahakali Naach, Lusiki Naach and Dash Avatar), displays of sacred images and tableaus in honor of the Hindu deity Indra, the king of heaven. The other event is Kumari Jatra, the chariot procession of the Living Goddess Kumari. Three chariots carrying human representations of Goddess Kumari, Lord Ganesh and Lord Bhairava are pulled along the festival route through Kathmandu Durbar Square. Classical dancers, mask dancers of deities wearing different kinds of traditional masks and costumes and musicians also accompany the chariot procession. The dancing continues throughout the route to celebrate the visit of the rain god, Indra. The procession starts at around 3 pm. Indra Jatra was started by King Gunakamadeva to commemorate the establishment of the city of Kathmandu in the 10th century. Kumari Jatra, which means the chariot festival of Kumari, coincides with Indra Jatra. It was started in 1756 AD during the reign of Malla King Jaya Prakash Malla. Family members deceased in the past year are also remembered during the festival. The main venue of the festivities is Kathmandu Durbar Square. The celebrations last for eight days. There is a public holiday in Kathmandu Valley to mark the festival. Indra Jatra also marks the beginning of the festive season, which is preceded by major festivals Dashain and Tihar.

One day, Su Mu transmigrated to an alternate world. This world had martial arts practitioners, Qi cultivators and also various types of terrifying ghosts, monsters and demons. In such a hostile environment, his otherwise-perfectly fine reincarnation system became a death system. For him, death was not the end, but rather, a new beginning. From the system, he experienced the profane lives of tens of thousands of demons! In one simulation, he was cut up, thrown into a pot, and eaten. Then, he became a Bloody Skeleton. In another simulation, he was forcefully conscripted and died in battle. His corpse did not decay, and he became a Drought Zombie. In yet another simulation, he was struck by lightning, and his extreme Yin Qi was converted into Yang Qi. He became a Fierce Thunder Ghost. In one more simulation, he consumed spirits, and his murderous aura filled the skies. He became an Undying Ghost Chariot. Some people cultivated to become deities. One other person died a hundred times to become a demon!

Dragon, Dragon Knight! Jet Fighter, Ace of the Air Force! A Dragon Knight from another world transmigrates and challenges the elites of the modern-day Air Force. He continuously trots on the path of strength. Countries battle in the shadows amidst an age of peace. The soldiers are never lonely. A Dragon Knight can transform into an air combat weapon made of steel which soars in the skies above. Heavens, who would be able to fight against him? If a bomb carrier were like a chariot, pressuring the enemy all the way without any care; then the attack aircraft is akin to heavy cavalry—always unexpectedly tearing a crack on the enemy's defense line. The interceptor fighter is more like a knight. It intercepts the enemy's elite with concise and swift actions. It would destroy the target in one stroke and pull back, killing one person in ten steps and disappearing without a trace.

Under the soft glow of dawn, the sea breeze gently swept across Azure Veil Isle. Young Phaethon stood gazing at the distant horizon, but inside, he was filled with confusion and unease. The people on the island had begun to question his identity: “You’re not the son of the Sun God! You don’t even have the golden eyes—how could you be a child of the gods?” Determined to prove his divine lineage, Phaethon set out on a journey to find his father, Helios. He crossed oceans and scaled mountains, and finally, he arrived at the magnificent, golden Sun Temple. Standing before his father, he pleaded, “Father, please believe me. I will become a son you can be proud of.” He asked to drive the Sun Chariot, hoping to prove his identity once and for all. Despite Helios’s repeated warnings about the dangers of controlling the Sun Chariot, Phaethon insisted on going through with it. But driving the chariot was far harder than he had imagined. The fiery steeds sensed his inexperience, and the chariot spiraled out of control, wreaking havoc across the sky, bringing both freezing cold and scorching flames to the earth below. What Phaethon didn’t know was that all of this was part of Zeus’s scheme. Zeus had long been undermining the Sun God’s family, plotting to have his own son, Apollo, replace Helios as the god of light. It was Zeus who had spread the rumors about Phaethon’s lineage, stirring up his impulsiveness and pushing him to make a fatal mistake. To "save" the world, Zeus, pretending to be the hero, unleashed a thunderbolt, striking Phaethon down from the sky. Phaethon fell into the River Eridanus, and his life came to an end. But the story didn’t end there. As his soul drifted in the darkness, a mysterious voice called out to him: “Young soul, are you willing to take on a new mission?” Upon learning the truth, Phaethon didn’t hesitate: “I am!” Reborn with new memories and powers, he returned to Rhodes. This time, he was no longer the boy everyone mocked. His silver eyes, like deep abysses, held an unfathomable power and determination. Facing the sky, he declared with unwavering resolve: “This time, Zeus, You're Doomed!” This was now a battle of divine power. But who was the mysterious figure that brought Phaethon back to life? Were they using him to challenge Zeus, or did they have their own hidden agenda?

I am alone. No one stands by me. I have no Dark Prince to ride in my chariot, to walk with me, to hold me to him. I have no one. And yet. I have myself. And to me, at this time, it seems enough. It seems more, much more, than enough. Alternately warrior, witch, goddess and slave, she travels through a barbaric world. Searching for a way to free herself from the taint of her vanished race.

Sinking in the cosmic ocean, between the gulf of the Planetscape and the Big Nothing, past the outlaw planet, is the S.S. Amaun’s Chariot, being pulled down to the sandy bedrock of Heximus. This planetary tombstone, its deserts swallowing up 70% of its surface, the rest being devoured by scum and bandits, giant sand worms and sky-taken demons, is a lawless wasteland. Here, on the northern half of the northern hemisphere, at the small scrap town of Primer, mercenary adventurers find themselves stranded. The crash was quick, blinding even, yet not so blinding as the secret held by the S.S. Amaun's Chariot. This story is based entirely on a homebrew D&D game, set on the Planet Heximus. The setting contains both magic and modern technology, but Heximus is dominated by Wild West culture. The combination of magic and tech has resulted in some aspects of technology reaching a post-modern level. As the game progresses, so will the tale I write for you.

Violence in sports usually refers to violent and often unnecessarily harmful intentional physical acts committed during, or motivated by, a sports game, often in relation to contact sports such as American football, ice hockey, rugby football, lacrosse, association football, boxing, mixed martial arts, wrestling, and water polo and, when referring to the players themselves, often involving excessively violent or potentially illegal physical contact beyond the normal levels of contact expected while playing the sport. These acts of violence can include intentional attempts to injure a player or coach by another player or coach, but can also include threats of physical harm or actual physical harm sustained by players or coaches by fans or those engaging in the spectating of sports, or threats and acts of violence performed by fans or spectators upon opposing fans or other spectators. Causes There are two major theories on the cause of violence in sports. One theory holds that humans have an instinct for violence, developed during a time when early human ancestors had to resort to violence and aggressiveness to survive and reproduce. Another theory deals with the sociological aspects of violence in sports, stating that sports are "mock battles" which can become actual battles due to their competitive nature. RITUAL VIOLENCE High school, college, and even professional sports teams often include initiation ceremonies (known as hazing in the USA) as a rite of passage. A 1999 study by Alfred University and the NCAA found that approximately four out of five college US athletes (250,000 per year) experienced hazing.[2] Half were required to take part in alcohol-related initiations, while two-thirds were subjected to humiliation rituals. Violence may also be related to nationalism or as an outlet for underlying social tensions. It is often alcohol-related. FAN VIOLENCE Violence by supporters of sports teams dates back to Roman times, when supporters of chariot racing teams were frequently involved in major riots.
