ellauri108.html on line 145: The term "grounding" is used among Rastas to refer to the establishment of relationships between like-minded practitioners. Groundings often take place in a commune or yard, and are presided over by an elder. The elder is charged with keeping discipline and can ban individuals from attending. The number of participants can range from a handful to several hundred. Activities that take place at groundings include the playing of drums, chanting, the singing of hymns, and the recitation of poetry. Cannabis, known as ganja, is often smoked. Most groundings contain only men, although some Rasta women have established their own all-female grounding circles.
ellauri108.html on line 154: The principal ritual of Rastafari is the smoking of ganja, also known as marijuana or cannabis or pot. Among the names that Rastas give to the plant are callie, Iley, "the herb", "the holy herb", "the grass", and "the weed". Cannabis is usually smoked during groundings, although some practitioners also smoke it informally in other contexts. Some Rastas smoke it almost all of the time, something other practitioners regard as excessive, and many practitioners also ingest cannabis in a tea, as a spice in cooking, and as an ingredient in medicine. However, not all Rastas use ganja; abstainers explain that they have already achieved a higher level of consciousness and thus do not require it.

Ne ovat ”sattva-”, ”rajas-” ja ”tamas-guna” ja ilmaistaan tavallisesti sanoilla: ”olemus”, ”himo” ja ”pimeys”. ”Cannabis sativa” merkitsee todellista olentoa, totuutta, kännykkävaloa; ”rajas” intohimojen ja himojen mahtia; ”tamas” tietämättömyyden pimeyttä, joka johtuu tyhmyydestä. Luonto sellaisenaan ei ole sen enempää ”hyvä” kuin ”pahakaan”, koska nämä ovat ainoastaan suhteellisia käsitteitä. Nii oikke!
