Kali & Romani Calendar 2007

To obtain a free copy of the entire calendar, go to www.geocities.com/daveauss Kali and Shiva It was a strange coincidence when I met Sharma, who owned an Indian restaurant called Mr Tandoor next door to our Sintezza's Gypsy Cafe, as he had a large painting of Shiva hanging on his restaurant wall and we had a small statue of Kali on the shelf.

I learned a bit from Sharma about Shiva and he was always wanting to know what made me and other Romanies believe in Kali.

He was fascinated with the fact that after a thousand years, Romanies still carry with them a Hindu goddess.

We became friends with Sharma and talked to each other about our different cultures and how there are still similarities.

Like with the language, some words are still the same, like bibi for aunt, kako for uncle, or ava for yes and nai for no or miri phen my sister.

Also shamen, we use the same name for psychic healer.

Sharma felt sad when he saw that the public didn't want to understand Romanies and read our literature.

He saw that we had plenty of literature in the cafe, but only a few would be open to the wisdom of the Romanies.

Sharma came often and read the literature and learned.

He was there every day until we had to close because of lack of acceptance by the ignorant public.

There just wasn't enough support to keep the cafe open.

Sharma closed his restaurant after we left and went back to Punjab maybe counting himself lucky that he still had his homeland and sad for us because we didn't have a land of our own.

The desire to shed blood to claim a homeland like other cultures did wasn't in us.

Instead, we feel the need to live in peace with nature, love our families, listen to the wisdom of the old ones, carry on using our education for the good to help the others and respect the earth and what's put on it, not try to destroy it.

It can only prove that we see further and are a wonderful culture that has been misunderstood for far too long.

This Calendar is for anyone who wants to see beyond and let the positive energies guide them in the right direction, to see the truth and be in peace with us and for Romanies to help us openly celebrate our culture every day in the months of the whole year.

I hope for us to rise together as one strong none territorial nation and wish that the year 2007 be the year of success and to make us one in mind.

Achievment

The three open caves of Gypsy Culture in Granada 24.

11.

It’s said that people are hostile to what they don’t understand, or in some cases simply what they do not know.

For many it’s the origin of racialism and perhaps over the years it could be the reason why Gypsies have been marginalised in Spain.

Therefore any initiative to help open up the mysteries of the Calé community in Spain must be congratulated.

Sometimes the opening up comes from inside the community itself.

At the start of the nineties a group of Gypsy women from Granada formed themselves into an association called Romi.

One of their main goals has been to set up a museum to explain the culture of the Gypsey woman, and now that goal has been achieved.

Three caves in the Sacromonte area of Granada now hold the very first museum to ‘La Gitana’ in Spain.

Help from the regional government in the form of a 350,000 € grant has set up the centre, and the Mayor of Granada, José Torres Hurtado, has said that he hopes the centre will become a new tourist attraction for the city.

The first cave looks at the history of how the gypsies left India and were subjected to particular laws under the Catholic Kings here in Spain.

For example a law in 1499 condemned them to a lifetime of slavery.

In the 1800’s they were still forbidden to speak in Caló or even wear their traditional dress.

The second cave concentrates on the activities of the women’s group itself and looks at famous gypsies from history.

You may be surprised to see references to Charlie Chaplin and Elvis Presley here.

The third cave has details of traditional gypsy health remedies handed down through the generations.

We send our congratulations to the Director of the Romi Association of Gypsey women in Granada, Loli Fernandez.

re: Romani calendar 2007

latscho diwes!

Also was ich hier lese bringt einen echt zum weinen....

Ich habe diese Page und noch ein paar weitere Interessante Pages im Netz entdeckt...aber was ich lese lässt mich grausen!

sako manusch hi sar lo hi!!!!!!!!

gadsche, romani.....

Ich verstehe nicht was ihr so einen terz macht...klar...ich kann gut verstehen, dass jede Gemeinschaft ihr Sprache, ihr Identität behalten möchte.....doch denkt maöl nach, wie voreilig ihr urteilt...

Ich z.B. habe diese Page nur entdeckt uaf der Suche nach anderen Romas......Leider hatte ich nicht das Glück von klein auf mit allem aufzuwachesen, und umso mehr quäle ich mich jetzt rum......

Wieso nicht Menschen helfen, die Sprachlich nicht so Fit sind, aber ihre Traditionen wahren wollen?!
