Tapas (Indian Religions)
Tapas (Sanskrit: तपस्) is a variety of austere spiritual meditation practices in Indian religions. In Jainism, it means asceticism (austerities, body mortification); in Buddhism, it denotes spiritual practices including meditation and self-discipline; and in the different traditions within Hinduism it means a spectrum of practices ranging from asceticism, inner cleansing to self-discipline by meditation practices. The ''Tapas'' practice often involves solitude, and is a part of monastic practices that are believed to be a means to moksha (liberation, salvation). In the Vedas literature of Hinduism, fusion words based on ''tapas'' are widely used to expound several spiritual concepts that develop through heat or inner energy, such as meditation, any process to reach special observations and insights, the spiritual ecstasy of a yogin or ''Tāpasa'' (a vṛddhi derivative meaning "a practitioner of austerities, an ascetic"), even warmth of sexual intimacy.Kaelber, W.

In French Polynesia it has nearly disappeared, except for some villages in the Marquesas. General The cloth is known by a number of local names although the term tapa is international and understood throughout the islands that use the cloth.

Tapas
A tapa () is an appetizer or snack in Spanish cuisine. Tapas can be combined to make a full meal, and can be cold (such as mixed olives and cheese) or hot (such as ''chopitos'', which are battered, fried baby squid, or patatas bravas). In some bars and restaurants in Spain and across the globe, tapas have evolved into a very sophisticated cuisine. In some Central American countries, such snacks are known as ''bocas''. In parts of Mexico, similar dishes are called ''botanas''. History The word "tapas" is derived from the Spanish verb ''tapar'', "to cover", a cognate of the English ''top''. In pre-19th-century Spain tapas were served by ''posadas'', ''albergues'' or ''bodegas'', offering meals and rooms for travellers. Since few innkeepers could write and few travellers read, inns offered their guests a sample of the dishes available, on a "tapa" (the word for pot cover in Spanish). According to ''Joy of Cooking'', the original tapas were thin slices of bread or meat wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tapa (Filipino Cuisine)
''Tapa'' is dried or cured beef, pork, mutton, venison or horse meat, although other meat or even fish may be used. Filipinos prepare ''tapa'' by using thin slices of meat and curing these with salt and spices as a preservation method. ''Tapa'' is often cooked fried or grilled. When served with fried rice and fried egg, it is known as ''tapsilog,'' a portmanteau of the Tagalog words ''tapa'', ''sinangag'' (fried rice) and ''itlog'' (egg). It sometimes comes with atchara, pickled papaya strips, or sliced tomatoes as side dish. Vinegar or ketchup is usually used as a condiment. Etymology ''Tapa'' in Philippine languages originally meant fish or meat preserved by smoking. In the Spanish Philippines, it came to refer to meats also preserved by other means. It is derived from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian ''*tapa'', which in turn is derived from Proto-Austronesian ''*Capa''. ''Tinapa'' (literally "prepared by smoking") is another cognate, though it usually refers to smoked fish. Dishes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Nupe People
The Nupe (traditionally called the ''Nupawa'' by the Hausas and ''Tapa'' by the neighbouring Yoruba) are an ethnic group native to the Middle Belt of Nigeria. They are the dominant ethnic group in Niger State and a minority in Kwara State. The Nupe are also present in Kogi State and The Federal Capital Territory. History The Nupe trace their origin to Tsoede who fled the court of Idah and established a loose confederation of towns along the Niger in the 15th century. The proximity of Nupe to the Yoruba Igbomina people in the south and to the Yoruba Oyo people in the southwest led to cross-fertilization of cultural influences through trade and conflicts over the centuries. Population and demography There are probably about 3.5 million Nupes, principally in Niger State. The Nupe language is also spoken in Kwara, Kogi and Federal Capital Territory. They are primarily Muslims, with some Christians and followers of African Traditional Religion. The nupe people have several ...
