What happens when ones internal profile is not always in harmony with the external world? Satyananda is a square peg in a round hole Born, raised and educated in India, Satyananda fails in his attempts to create an idealistic space for himself in his native country. Disillusioned by the intense competition in a system that is not always fair, he seeks a seemingly better life in the western world. Although inwardly encouraged by the opportunity to make a fresh beginning in Canada, optimism dampens when faced with the numerous challenges inherent in raising children in an unfamiliar environment. It is a continuous struggle for him and his wife to maintain their language and traditions in a foreign culture so as to pass them on to the next generation. Caught between two cultures, Satyananda turns to the spiritual domain for solace. Even here, he perceives a disparity between the real and the ideal compelling him to rebel against the status quo.
When life deals you an unkind cut, how you respond to it offers a window to the character you possess. Blindness at birth can be particularly debilitating because you are deprived of self-dependency. However, if you learn to not just take the disability in your stride but also use it as a motivation to scale the ladder of life, then sky is the limit. As GK Mahantesh has amply illustrated. Presented with the easier option of falling back on family support and coasting through life, Mahantesh opted for the more arduous path of making a name for himself and offering inspiration as well as financial independence to thousands of others. Fusing his love for cricket with an innate desire to look beyond himself, he has carved a niche both through his illustrious association with blind cricket and the Samarthanam Trust. Eye Opener charts Mahantesh’s fascinating, undulating journey from the outpost of Belagavi to the hustle and bustle of constant international travel, reiterating that blindness, or any disability, is no deterrent if you have will, passion, enterprise and industry.

The evolution of Hinduism has been a saga of continuous progression from the unreal to the real, from the profane to the profound, in successive stages of human development. Hinduism has withstood challenges of all hues, both within and without. It has had its periods of light and shade, occurring concurrently, through the course of history. Sometimes shady aspects assumed vast proportions and enveloped the lofty ideals of the Vedas, but prophetic souls appeared to redeem the society of evil, from Adi Shankaracarya to Bhakti reformers of medieval India, and from Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Dayananda and Swami Vivekananda to Mahatma Gandhi. Like any other human faith, Hinduism has its philosophical and practical sides, called “the kernel and the husk” respectively. The survival of Hinduism has been due to its ability to separate the former from the latter, in an unending process, and to withstand challenges of all types by adhering to the timeless principles of truth (satya) and righteousness (dharma). Hinduism has been open, flexible and adaptable. It has discarded outworn ideas and institutions, absorbed the best elements of fellow cultures, and reinterpreted itself in changing milieus. The present publication by Advaita Ashrama, a branch of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India is an attempt to explain the quintessential of Hinduism within the orbit of time and beyond it, involving an explication of the eternal values and principles which sustain existence. It explores the dynamics of Hinduism in religio-historical framework through the second millennium of the common era. About the Cover:The image of Lord Shiva as Nataraja, the king of dancers. As the Cosmic Dancer, his dance represents the five cosmic activities of creation, preservation, destruction, concealment of Truth behind apparitions, and divine grace. He dances on the prostate body of the demon, Apasmara. Apasmara symbolises man's ignorance or forgetfulness of Truth. Shiva is Time (kala), and he is also the Great Time (maha kala), i.e. Eternity. This is the dance of the Cosmic Being, eternally going on.
A tall man with long hair and a red t-shirt with black shorts and casual slippers walked out of the washroom, after a shower, and made his way to the bed. 'This was a long day. Should set up the alarm.' He said to himself as he kept his phone on the side and rested his weary head on the pillow. He looked at the ceiling, noticing chips in the paint. He further looked at all the walls around him with a sigh, 'Definitely needs a paint job.' He said with a sigh as he closed his eyes. Soon, he was woken up by a shooting pain in his left leg. It was as if he had one of those painful cramps combined with bashing his little toe against the edge of a steel table. He instinctively pulled his leg closer to himself and sat up. He tried to look at his toe and touched it. It felt like something weirdly wet and sticky. He pulled his fingers closer to his nose, in an attempt to deduce what it was as he wasn't able to see anything in the sheer darkness. He started panting in fear as he recognised the smell. It was obviously blood. He jumped off the bed and picked up his phone trying to flash its torch around the room. He couldn't see anything so, he flashed it down on his hand which was painted red with blood. Shock took over him as he looked down at his toe and saw big teeth marks on his foot, leaking and oozing blood. Just then, the side of his eye caught a glimpse of something crawling in the corner of the room. Without even taking a proper look at it, he knew it was trouble. So, he put off the torch and taking advantage of the darkness, he quietly crept to the corner and tried to inch towards the living room of the house. I need to reach the gate and get out. He thought to himself, trying to hold his panic inside. He kept an eye out behind him while inching closer to the main gate. I'm almost there. I can do this. He thought to himself as he held his tears inside and kept going. But, his fear hit back at him as he heard a weird sound behind him. Something was following him. Crawling to him. He knew it. He could feel it. The pain he felt while moving added to his overall difficulty but he wasn't ready to give up the hope, so he kept going, slowly but steadily. He kept quiet so as to not give this entity the gift of sound to track him down. He kept going, feeling a sense of victory building at the back of his head. But, just then, he felt unbearable pain in his foot. He tried to flash his torch down again, but before he could see, his leg was pulled up with a sudden swing as he dropped down and his head hit the ground. He gasped and screamed as an unbearable and unknown pain hit him, still trying to pull himself with his hands, and inch towards the door. But he realised that his attempts were all in vain, as he felt himself being dragged deeper inside the house. His eyes kept wandering trying to see what it was and find a way out of here, alive. But soon he felt something creep over his body. Then, he came face to face with his biggest nightmare. He only saw that face for a moment before something sharp pierced through his eyes and everything went dark. His struggle was over. The lamp of hope extinguished, and pure silence took over, once again. . . Will this silence ever be replaced?
The book is designed to highlight the utility of supramolecular systems in diverse areas such as sensing of ionic and molecular analytes, aggregation, artificial molecular machines, biology, and medicine. The synthetic chemistry of a diverse set of supramolecules encompassing various supramolecular interactions involved in driving macrocyclic architectures is discussed. Attempts have been made to cover unique features of macrocycles viz. control over shape, size, and valency along with supramolecular interactions, which direct complex supramolecular systems. The book also provides a discussion on the similarity between macrocyclic host-guest systems and biomolecules, which lay the foundation of building modern artificial molecular motors and switches like protein machines for application in diverse areas. The authors hope that the book will appeal to a wider audience of students and researchers in academics and/or industries.
You personify your name. Rahul (On # 25) I had goose bumps as I read your email. You must be so proud of your Mama Ji. Shobha (On # 28) You have reduced religion to the dynamics of market forces. What a wonderful idea! Religion is the invention of man and spirituality is a science of connecting with GOD. Shadi Ram (On # 32) This is a good 'reflection.' You have provided a historical dimension as also the need for unification of the divergent Hindu stratifications. Moorty (On # 33) Looks like I am getting regular lessons from my Teacher. I am blessed, Jadav (On # 35) Wow!! What a scientific way to depict the age-old Aryan culture. Gouranga Saha (On # 36)
Aims to analyse whether unwarranted disparity existed in rape sentencing in India, which anecdotal work of other scholars had pointed to"--Provided by publisher"--
Born in a traditional Indian middle-class family in 1921, Tapishwar Narain ("Tappy") Raina rose to the pinnacle of the Indian Army in 1975. A decorated and battle-hardened soldier, Tappy Raina proved also to be a visionary Army Chief. He pushed through ground-breaking initiatives both for making the Indian Army future-ready and for the welfare of its officers and men. Equally, his quiet but firm stand against the Indian Army being drawn into the maelstrom of Indian politics during the period of Emergency was a truly signal service to India’s democracy. Tappy Raina was pitched into the 2nd World War at the very outset of his army career and saw action in the Middle East, Burma and the Far East. During this period he was wounded and lost his right eye but never let this early setback affect him professionally. His finest hour as a soldier came during India’s war with China in 1962. Amidst the ruins elsewhere along the borders, Brigadier Raina won laurels as a battlefield commander in Ladakh, where Indian Army blunted the Chinese PLA in the battle of Chushul. For this exemplary military leadership, Tappy Raina was conferred the country’s second highest gallantry award, the Maha Vir Chakra (MVC). Later, for his contribution in the war against Pakistan in 1971, then Lt General Raina was conferred the award of Padma Bhushan. Not even sixty yet, General Raina passed away in 1980 with his boots on while serving in India’s High Commissioner in Canada. Interspersed in the book are notes by Tappy Raina’s wife, Ninette, which etch out some personal facets of his life and reveal his innate decency, modesty and compassion. General T. N. Raina’s was an inspiring life of outstanding service to the nation, embodying vision, professional excellence and courage.
