Music and Mantras

The Yoga of Mindful Singing for Health, Happiness, Peace & Prosperity

By: Girish

“Singing is as human as breathing, and this book tells us why.” —Mark Guarino, contributing music writer, The Guardian Celebrated yogi-musician Girish opens new possibilities for transforming your life through song, combining the ancient art of singing mantra with twenty-first century neuroscience research. For as long as he can remember, Girish has created rhythm to accompany life. His first experience of music as sacred art came in college, playing with jazz bands. “During improvisational sessions,” he recalls, “there were these unexplainable moments of synchronicity and intuition that felt like magic.” This led Girish to an unexpected journey—a seeming detour to live as a monk in an ashram for five years that inadvertently nourished his musical artistry. Here, he studied Sanskrit as a means to understand the deeper meanings of ancient chants, which sparked a life-changing event that led him back to music—and to combine music with Sanskrit chants. Now he shares what he’s learned to help people of all ages, backgrounds, and traditions to transform body, brain, and life through mantra and music. With Music and Mantras, Girish has created an interactive toolkit—including more than ninety minutes of companion audio material—for personal transformation through singing, sharing his own experience as a musician, yogi, and former Hindu monk. Weaving simple, elegant mantras from ancient traditions with neuroscience, Girish shows us how to achieve greater peace of mind, clarity, calm, focus, and even improved health and wealth through the yogic art of chanting—an ideal practice for singing our way to happiness, health, and prosperity.

Losing Amma, Finding Home

A Memoir about Love, Loss and Life's Detours

By: Uma Girish

Uma Girish’s Losing Amma, Finding Home is a heart-rending narrative of losing a parent, living through the pain and transforming it to discover one true-calling and life’s purpose. This is a breathtaking inspirational and personal memoir that will ring true with every reader! When Uma arrives to start life in a Chicago suburb with her husband, 14-year-old daughter and her dreams in the spring of 2008, she has no clue of the cosmic wheels in motion. Barely four weeks later, her 68-year-old mother, in India, is diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. Eight months later, she passes away. Losing her mother plunges Uma into the deepest despair, but more importantly, awakens a sudden clarity and knowing that ‘there has to be more to life than this’. As she begins to navigate a new country and culture, she is also called on to navigate the lonely terrain of grief. Life begins to open doors and Uma finds comfort, connection and purpose in working with seniors at a retirement community. Every relationship that she forms with the seniors opens her heart a little wider as she seeks answers to the only questions that matter. Who am I? Why am I here? What am I meant to do with this life? Interweaving two cultures through a textured narrative, Uma uncovers the truths of her inner journey as she transforms – one event, one person at a time.

This Life At Play

Memoirs

By: Girish Karnad

Girish Karnad was one of modern India's greatest cultural figures: an accomplished actor, a path-breaking director, an innovative administrator, a clear-headed and erudite thinker, a public intellectual with an unwavering moral compass, and above all, the most extraordinarily gifted playwright of his times. This Life at Play, translated from the Kannada in part by Karnad himself and in part by Srinath Perur, covers the first half of his remarkable life - from his childhood in Sirsi and his early engagement with local theatre, his education in Dharwad, Bombay and Oxford, to his career in publishing, his successes and travails in the film industry, and his personal and writerly life. Moving and humorous, insightful and candid, these memoirs provide an unforgettable glimpse into the life-shaping experiences of a towering genius, and a unique window into the India in which he lived and worked.

Lessons from Grace

What a Baby Taught Me about Living and Loving

By: Uma Girish

Lessons from Grace by Uma Girish is a one-of-its-kind book. Here, the author talks about learning mindfulness and the art of living from a toddler. 'All children are born geniuses, and we spend the first six years of their lives degeniusing them.' -- R. Buckminster Fuller When Uma, a forty-something mother of a college sophomore, was asked to nanny her friends' daughter, Grace, little did she know that she was about to begin an extraordinary journey. A baby arrives here as a pure being. Not yet marked by cultural and social conditioning, they bring a sense of sacredness to our lives. This was the author's experience. Through Grace, she is reminded of what is truly important in her life. More importantly, she also learns to navigate an increasingly complex world using the values of simplicity, joy, and presence--as babies do. Watching Grace brings her many lessons, like how the baby surrenders her entire being to a multicolored rattle by living in the present. The author relearns the art of living by aligning with the values this baby teaches her. The sublime prose of this book will shift your world view and encourage you to be present to the magic of everyday life as you reconnect with the simple but profound treasures of curiosity and wonder.

Renaissance State

The Unwritten Story of the Making of Maharashtra

By: Girish Kuber

Maharashtra. Among the country's largest, wealthiest, most significant constituents. A great state in name and in deed that has been the cradle of individuals and events that have shaped India. Girish Kuber - seasoned journalist and one of Maharashtra's foremost opinion makers - tells its story in Renaissance State. Taking in his vast sweep the region's politics, society and history from the time of the Satavahanas down to the present day, he chronicles a number of lesser-known tales: the empire that brought the mighty Mughals to their knees, the woman who took the issue of consent in marital sex right up to Queen Victoria, the social reformers who were far ahead of their time, the evolution of movements of the right and left as well as for Dalit identity, and the long tradition of this great land of always standing up to Delhi. This is the account of the making of Maharashtra that its proud people deserved but had remained unwritten.

Integrative Approaches for Health

Biomedical Research, Ayurveda and Yoga

By: Bhushan Patwardhan,Gururaj Mutalik,Girish Tillu

Despite spectacular advances, modern medicine faces formidable global challenges in several key areas—notably the persistence of major killer diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy, and newer threats including HIV/AIDS, resistant infections, and Ebola. As such, modern medicine has not led to a significant decrease in chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, and other degenerative and autoimmune diseases. The authors believe that modern medicine needs to experience a paradigm shift, an integration of traditions—in particular from the ancient systems like Ayurveda and Yoga. Integrative Approaches for Health: Biomedical Research, Ayurveda and Yoga brings together the basic principles of interdisciplinary systems approach for an evolving construct of future medicine. Such an approach is already emerging at the cutting edge of current research in omics, bioinformatics, computational and systems biology. Several leading institutions of medicine have adopted Yoga and complementary medicine to widen their reach, and deepen effectiveness in therapeutic practices. The amalgam of modern medicine, with its strengths in scientific rigor, blended with the basic principles of life drawn from Ayurveda and Yoga might evolve into a medicine of tomorrow. Integrative approaches are no longer alternative, perhaps taking these approaches is the only possible way to heal our sick planet. This book introduces important trends and tools for biomedical researchers and physicians alike, to innovate the practice of medicine for the better. - Contains a harmonious confluence of ancient and modern concepts, historical perspectives, philosophical underpinnings, and a relevant review of literature supported by worldwide case studies. - Provides a critical analysis of ancient wisdom, pointing to potential areas for future research, which provide food for thought for public debate on integrative health care for the twenty-first century. - Explains Ayurveda knowledge, and its relevance to drug discovery, nutrition, genomics, epigenetics, regenerative biology, longevity and personalized medicine. - Shares Yoga knowledge insights, and explains its relevance to body–mind complex relationships, psychology, neurobiology, immunoendocrinology, bioenergetics, consciousness, and cognitive sciences. - Offers illustrations and logic diagrams for enhanced understanding of the concepts presented.

सुविख्यात रंगकर्मी और कन्नड़ लेखक गिरीश कारनाड की यह नाट्यकृति एक ऐतिहासिक घटना पर आधारित है | बसवणा नाम का एक कवि और समाज-स्धारक इसका केन्द्रीय चरित्र है | ईस्वी सन 1106-1168 के बीच मौजूद बसवणा को एक अल्पजीवी 'वीरशैव संप्रदाय' का जनक माना जाता है | लेकिन बसवणा के जीवन-मूल्यों, कार्यों और उसके द्वारा रचित पदों की जितनी प्रासंगिकता तब रही होगी, उससे कम आज भी नहीं है, बल्कि अधिक है; और इसी से गिरीश कारनाड जैसे सजग लेखक की इतिहास-दृष्टि और उनके लेखन के महत्त्व को समझा जा सकता है | बसवणा के जीवन-मूल्य हैं-सामाजिकक असमानता का विरोध, धर्म-जाति, लिंग-भेद आदि से जुडी रुढियों का त्याग, और ईश्वर-भक्ति के रूप में अपने-अपने 'कायक' यानी कर्म का निर्वाह | आकस्मिक नहीं कि उसके जीवनादर्शो में यदि गीता के कर्मवाद की अनुगूँज है तो परवर्ती कबीर भी सुनाई पड़ते हैं | लेकिन राजा का भंडारी और उसके निकट होने के बावजूद रूढ़िवादी ब्राह्मणों अथवा वर्णाश्रम धर्म के पक्ष में खड़ी राजसत्ता की भयावह हिंसा से अपने 'शरणाओं' की रक्षा वह नहीं कर पाता और न उन्हें प्रतिहिंसा से ही रोक पाता है | लेखक के इस समूचे घटनाक्रम को--बासवणा के जीवन से जुड़े तमाम अत्कर्य लोकविश्वासों को झटकते हुए-एक सांस्कृतिक जनांदोलन की तरह रचा है | विचार के साथ साथ एक गहरी संवेदनशील छुअन और अनेक दृश्यबंधो में समायोजित सुगठित नात्याशिल्प | जाहिर है कि इस सबका श्रेय जितना लेखक को है, उतना ही अनुवादक को है | अतीत के कुहासे से वर्तमान की वर्क्संगत तलाश और उसकी एक नई भाषिक सर्जना-हिंदी रंगमंच के लिए ये दोनों ही चीजें सामान रूप से महत्त्वपूर्ण हैं.

Civilian Drones, Visual Privacy and EU Human Rights Law

By: Girish Agarwal

This book examines rights issues in relation to visual privacy in the use of civilian drones. Here, visual privacy is described as the freedom from a combination of unwanted activities directed towards an individual, such as observing, recording, and publishing of personal visual information without an individual’s consent. The book answers the question of whether visual observation of an individual with the help of the camera systems onboard a civilian drone is lawful in light of EU law. It also discusses the legality of the subsequent recordings and publications. The issues are considered in terms of the European Convention of Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union and EU General Data Protection Regulation. The book will be a valuable resource for researchers, academics and policy-makers working in the areas of technology, privacy and human rights law.

Soil Enzymology

By: Girish Shukla,Ajit Varma

Soil enzymes are one of the vital key mediators involved in nutrient recycling and the decomposition of organic matter and thereby in maintaining soil quality and fertility. This Soil Biology volume covers the various facets of soil enzymes, such as their functions, biochemical and microbiological properties and the factors affecting their activities. Enzymes in the rhizosphere, in forest soils, and in volcanic ash-derived soils are described. Soil enzymes covered include phosphohydrolases, lignocellulose-degrading enzymes, phenol oxidases, fungal oxidoreductases, keratinases, pectinases, xylanases, lipases and pectinases. Several chapters treat the soil enzymatic activities in the bioremediation of soils contaminated with pesticides and pollutants such as oil, chlorinated compounds, synthetic dyes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The role of soil enzymes as bioindicators is a further important topic addressed.

Dynamics of Classical and Quantum Fields

An Introduction

By: Girish S. Setlur

Dynamics of Classical and Quantum Fields: An Introduction focuses on dynamical fields in non-relativistic physics. Written by a physicist for physicists, the book is designed to help readers develop analytical skills related to classical and quantum fields at the non-relativistic level, and think about the concepts and theory through numerous problems. In-depth yet accessible, the book presents new and conventional topics in a self-contained manner that beginners would find useful. A partial list of topics covered includes: Geometrical meaning of Legendre transformation in classical mechanics Dynamical symmetries in the context of Noether’s theorem The derivation of the stress energy tensor of the electromagnetic field, the expression for strain energy in elastic bodies, and the Navier Stokes equation Concepts of right and left movers in case of a Fermi gas explained Functional integration is interpreted as a limit of a sequence of ordinary integrations Path integrals for one and two quantum particles and for a fermion in presence of a filled Fermi sea Fermion and boson Fock spaces, along with operators that create and annihilate particles Coherent state path integrals Many-body topics such as Schrieffer Wolff transformation, Matsubara, and Keldysh Green functions Geometrical meaning of the vortex-vortex correlation function in a charged boson fluid Nonlocal particle-hole creation operators which diagonalize interacting many-body systems The equal mix of novel and traditional topics, use of fresh examples to illustrate conventional concepts, and large number of worked examples make this book ideal for an intensive one-semester course for beginning Ph.D. students. It is also a challenging and thought provoking book for motivated advanced undergraduates.

Refactoring for Software Design Smells

Managing Technical Debt

By: Girish Suryanarayana,Ganesh Samarthyam,Tushar Sharma

Awareness of design smells – indicators of common design problems – helps developers or software engineers understand mistakes made while designing, what design principles were overlooked or misapplied, and what principles need to be applied properly to address those smells through refactoring. Developers and software engineers may "know" principles and patterns, but are not aware of the "smells" that exist in their design because of wrong or mis-application of principles or patterns. These smells tend to contribute heavily to technical debt – further time owed to fix projects thought to be complete – and need to be addressed via proper refactoring.Refactoring for Software Design Smells presents 25 structural design smells, their role in identifying design issues, and potential refactoring solutions. Organized across common areas of software design, each smell is presented with diagrams and examples illustrating the poor design practices and the problems that result, creating a catalog of nuggets of readily usable information that developers or engineers can apply in their projects. The authors distill their research and experience as consultants and trainers, providing insights that have been used to improve refactoring and reduce the time and costs of managing software projects. Along the way they recount anecdotes from actual projects on which the relevant smell helped address a design issue. - Contains a comprehensive catalog of 25 structural design smells (organized around four fundamental designprinciples) that contribute to technical debt in software projects - Presents a unique naming scheme for smells that helps understand the cause of a smell as well as pointstoward its potential refactoring - Includes illustrative examples that showcase the poor design practices underlying a smell and the problemsthat result - Covers pragmatic techniques for refactoring design smells to manage technical debt and to create and maintainhigh-quality software in practice - Presents insightful anecdotes and case studies drawn from the trenches of real-world projects

Wedding Album

By: Girish. Karnad

Wedding Album, the latest play written by renowned playwright Girish Karnad, is a hilarious and moving spectacle on the India that we live in today. By presenting the seemingly paradoxical situation of a 'traditional' marriage in a 'modern' Indian, middle-class family, Karnad reveals how particular notions of wealth, well-being, sexual propriety, tradition, and modernity form the basis of middle-class society in contemporary India.

The Tatas

How a Family Built a Business and a Nation

By: Girish Kuber

| WINNER OF THE GAJA CAPITAL BUSINESS BOOK PRIZE 2019 | The nineteenth century was an exciting time of initiative and enterprise around the world. If John D. Rockefeller was creating unimagined wealth in the United States that he would put to the service of the nation, a Parsi family with humble roots was doing the same in India. In 1822, a boy was born in a priestly household in Gujarat's Navsari village. Young Nusserwanji knew early on that his destiny lay beyond his village and decided to head for Bombay to start a business - the first in his family to do so. He had neither higher education nor knowledge of business matters, just a burning passion to carve a path of his own. What Nusserwanji started as a cotton trading venture, his son Jamsetji, born in the same year as Rockefeller, grew into a multifaceted business, turning around sick textile mills, setting up an iron and steel company, envisioning a cutting-edge institute of higher learning, building a world-class hotel, and earning himself the title of the 'Bhishma Pitamah of Indian Industry'. Stewarded ably over the decades by Jamsetji's sons Dorabji and Ratanji, the charismatic and larger-than-life JRD, and thereafter the more business-like Ratan, the Tata group today is a 110-billion-dollar empire. The Tatas is their story. But it is more than just a history of the industrial house; it is an inspiring account of India in the making. It chronicles how each generation of the family invested not only in the expansion of its own business interests but also in nation building. Few know, for instance, that the first hydel power project in the world was conceived of and built by the Tatas. Nor that some radical labour concepts such as eight-hour work shifts were born in India, at the Tata mill in Nagpur. The Tata Cancer Research Centre, the Indian Institute of Science, the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, as also the national carrier Air India - the family has a long, rich and unrivalled legacy. The Tatas is a tribute to a line of visionaries who have a special place in the hearts and minds of ordinary Indians. Written by seasoned journalist Girish Kuber, this is also the only book that tells the complete Tata story spanning almost two hundred years.

About Music Industry for Beginners

For Budding Sound Engineers (Audiophiles), Music Performers, Music Educators, Musical Content Creators, Music Business Startups, Film & Music Lovers

By: Girish Patro

We must agree that the role of Arts, Commerce & Science are equally important in Career Development to survive, but we have lost the focus on ‘Arts’ or ‘Skills’ in our Education System which used to be our Assets.The goals to write this book is, 1. To develop and make a full-time career in Music Business, Music Performance, Music Production and Sound Reinforcement - The lessons describes the procedures and methods to develop a set of Skills and motivates the reader to become a self-trainable content creator, a performer or a service provider.The lessons describes to learn your responsibilities and motivates to find too many solutions for each problem and applying one of them according to the situation. 2. To spread awareness about right informations of Music Business, Music Performance, Music Production and Sound Reinforcement to the listeners (consumers, music lovers) - The lessons are simplified and properly organised.If we put an analogy of learning all about our music industry with human body analysis, then the first lesson would be about showing you a human body instead of explaining a human intestine. 3. To establish and maintain a long term business environment in Music Industry - The lessons always motivate and encourage the reader to reduce or remove dirty politics and other related loopholes existing in Music Industry by demanding and mentioning terms and responsibilities clearly in contract agreements (in written formats on stamp papers). The author may put some analogy as one of his methods to explain each lesson such as ‘Cooking Techniques’ as ‘Mixing Techniques’; ‘Hot’ as ‘Loud’, where hot can be a touch or taste sensation and loud (loudness or volume control in your remote or a dedicated knob in your playback system) as a listening sensation.If we put an analogy of learning audio recording skills with riding a bike, then the author love to explain the bike riding skills, maintenance of a bike, introducing recent technology used, safety precautions for the biker, traffic rules and regulations, but the author hasn’t explained the features and functions of different products(different brands of bikes), because features and functions changes according to recent technology development.And features and functions of different products (different brands of bikes) can be learnt through their respective official websites so that the learner as a customer will make his / her own decision about purchasing a product (certain brand of a bike) as per his / her requirements. In this book the author may have mentioned few products as examples to focus on the Technology applied in the products; that doesn’t mean he promote those products.We can’t rely on technology to correct major amount of errors because it has some limitations.For a limited time period, the technology can be used to correct a minimum amount of errors.It is better to use technology in methods for practicing more of the arts or skills so that the error will be reduced at the input.

Crossing to Talikota

Crossing to Talikota

By: Girish Karnad

The year is 1565. Devastation reigns over the once-renowned Vijayanagara Empire. Its powerful army has buckled under the assault of four minor Sultanates. Within a few hours of the Battle of Talikota, the political contours of southern India have been radically altered, the rich and prosperous capital city, Vijayanagara, plundered, decimated, and abandoned. It would lie uninhabited for centuries, known thereafter only as ‘the ruins of Hampi’. Behind this cataclysm swirls a saga of ruthless ambition, caste, and religious conflict, family intrigue and betrayal, driven by the power hungry ‘Aliya’ Ramaraya, son-in-law of the emperor Krishna Deva Raya. A brilliant strategist and diplomat, he ruled the empire with an iron hand but was unacceptable to his own people as the legitimate heir because he lacked royal blood. In Crossing to Talikota, Girish Karnad focuses on the interplay of characters who have been ignored by history even though they played integral roles in shaping one of its darkest chapters.
