In order to woo the gullible , the illetarate people towards science on occasions like Kumbh mela a judicious mix of the imagery of very familiar mythical stories of the region (like creation myth and there are many more !)with contemporary world view on the same or even some relevant sf aspects could be tried with an aim to communicate science.To sum up ,it is perhaps not out of the context to quote here Ursula Leguin who once stated that "Sf is a contemporary myth"! Reema's thesis of exploiting such events to the benefit of science communication is quite ineliigible.Arvind Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231261732951391013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567059361777414839.post-14960967217046933492008-11-19T20:46:00.000-08:002008-11-19T20:46:00.000-08:00You're quite right, Peggy, and anyway, SF characte...You're quite right, Peggy, and anyway, SF characters with too much religion won't go down well with SF fans just as SF would be a little out of the place at a religious gathering. However, the 2 can be brought together when the religious gathering hasn't really gathered to discuss religion and religion is more of a backdrop. Kumbh Mela, for instance, has rural trade at its heart.Reemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983466677054631482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567059361777414839.post-45564096069976294512008-11-19T20:26:00.000-08:002008-11-19T20:26:00.000-08:00Arvind: I think that's an interesting point about ...Arvind: I think that's an interesting point about mixing science with religion and getting out pseudoscience.

However, most American SF is not explicitly Christian - the characters often don't seem to have any religion at all. Add to that a vocal minority that sees any science at at as inherently anti-Christian, and I don't think SF - which also is coming from a science world view - at a religious gathering would go over well at all.Peggy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360669414917755737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567059361777414839.post-47581774381396329062008-11-19T19:33:00.000-08:002008-11-19T19:33:00.000-08:00Peggy,I don't think SF and Christian mythology are...Peggy,<BR/>I don't think SF and Christian mythology are rigidly divided at all. I would go as far as to say that American SF depends entirely on a Christian worldview. The whole notion of a "Saviour" is at the heart of all the superheroes, especially cult figures like Superman and Spiderman.Reemahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11983466677054631482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567059361777414839.post-4108958968555339292008-11-19T17:00:00.000-08:002008-11-19T17:00:00.000-08:00ReemaI have sent you certain relevant links by ema...Reema<BR/>I have sent you certain relevant links by email.<BR/>Peggy,<BR/>What I perceive mythology and religion may appear to be very close to each other apparently but they are quite distinct forms of human creativity.At the same time mythological narrations share some points of similarity with sf contents like the sense of wonderment ,exaggerations of/in characterizations and descriptions of the background or the environment depicted in the story and above all the unfamiliarity of many of scenes and characters with that of the audience.The literary characteristics like those make the mythology (at least the Indian mythology to which I am familiar)similar to some extent with sf in content and style.Hinduism or Christianity both are religions in their own might and I also do not find any relationship whatsoever in between those great religions of the world and sf.Mixing science and /or sf with religion have the pseudo scientific connotations which I dislike.<BR/>Thanks for the comment.Arvind Mishrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231261732951391013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567059361777414839.post-67485592141417100292008-11-19T12:37:00.000-08:002008-11-19T12:37:00.000-08:00I think it's an interesting idea to mix SF with my...I think it's an interesting idea to mix SF with mythology. Here in the US there is often such a rigid division between science and Christianity, I can't imagine being able to mix in SF at Christian religious events. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for an interesting addition to the discussion!Peggy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360669414917755737noreply@blogger.com
