Masks (máscaras) have been used dating back to the beginnings of lucha libre in the early part of the 20th century, and have a historical significance to Mexico in general, dating to the days of the Aztecs. Early masks were very simple with basic colors to distinguish the wrestler.<br />
<br />
Most masked wrestlers wear their masks for any and all public appearances, using the mask to keep their personal life separate from their professional life; because of the mask, most Mexican wrestlers enjoy a higher degree of anonymity about their personal lives.<br />

  • Portrait of a Krishna devotee at the Hare Krishna Festival of Chariot  in Washington Square Park.This brand of Hinduism the movement revere their God, Krishna .<br />
<br />
Kirtan always means call – and – response devotional singing, aiming to solely glorify Krishna. Any other ‘kirtan’ chant that maybe expressing the current fashion is short lived and bears no lasting fruit.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of the last century the powerful Vaisnava guru Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur forcibly reestablished pure devotional Gaudiya practices while driving out its pseudo and insincere counterparts. He thus revealed the authentic personality of Sri Hari Nama Kirtan as, ‘Krishna is His Holy Name, and the Holy Name is Krishna. Krishna Nama is the son of Nanda, Shyamsundar. Sri Nama Sankirtana is the best sadhana. That which is meant for gratifying the mundane senses is not Hari kirtana. That by which Krishna’s senses are satisfied is Hari Kirtana.’<br />
<br />
Srila Prabhupada, the foremost disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, perfectly mirrored his guru’s spirit. He instructed that we should chant feeling the presence of Krishna. If we can’t do that then we should sincerely try to hear ourselves chant and the chanting should be done in a helpless, dependent attitude – like a child crying for its mother. ‘And you can see Krishna face to face in this very lifetime. I guarantee you,’ he says.<br />
<br />
Chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra on sacred beads a prescribed number of times daily comprises one of our regulative principles and is called japa. Aindra das would say that good japa means good kirtan. Furthermore, he insisted that all the musicians chant during kirtan. ‘Else, whatever you do is zero,’ he’d say.

  • Portrait of Mexican (smiling)  female Acatlan folk  dancer, member of The Danza De Tecuanes Acatlan Puebla, holding mask.<br />
<br />
The dance of the tecuanis is staged in the states of warrior and people, represents the work of the peasants when dismantling and preparing the planting and its fight against the tiger. Tecuanis pretend first to dedicate themselves to their labors, then narrate the tiger's outrages, making jocular improvised allusions about well-known people of the town, that provoke great rejoicing among the spectators, and the search for the animal begins until once the tiger hunts and dies. <br />
<br />
In this dance, the Chichimeca and Zapoteca tribes join forces to defeat the tiger, or Tecuani (Náhuatl for people eater) that attacks their flocks. They are led by the huehues (elders) Moranchi and Lucas, who wear red and blue hats, respectively.<br />
<br />
The Zapoteca and Chichimeca make two lines and dance and shout to the rhythm of the music.<br />
<br />
Besides them, there is a gallery of characters who help or hinder their efforts: the Devil, who tempts them; the Witch, who helps them with remedies; Death, who will ultimately kill the Tecuani. And there’s also a dog, a bull and a donkey.<br />
<br />
But the Tiger, or Tecuani, is the central figure in the dance. Much like the Devil in the traditional Christmas plays called pastorelas, though supposedly an intimidating character, he actually jokes around with the children and the rest of the audience. He wields a whip to go after his captors and get everyone to ridicule them.
