Download or read book Romance of Innovation written by Anil K Rajvanshi and published by Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI). This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This digital book presents a brief history of renewable energy work carried out since 1981 at Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI). Too often the record of research and development (R&D) is written up as articles in journals and books. The human interest story of the way the research was done, interactions with the stakeholders and the pushes and pulls in doing it are left out of the record. This book is an attempt to record these details. It also shows how R&D can be done in a small rural institute and should provide inspiration to other NGOs who want to do a similar type of work. The aim of the book is to inspire youngsters to enter the field of rural innovations and to provide challenging ideas for research and development to those who already are converts. Dr. Rajvanshi has written in an engaging style about the romance of doing research in rural setting and has shown that with meager resources and few members of staff, very meaningful and satisfying R&D work can be done. It is often said that good R&D requires lot of equipment, money and manpower. Work on renewable energy at NARI has shown that it is possible to do good work in little money and resources”, said Dr. Rajvanshi. There are six chapters in the book, out of which five describe the hardware development work carried out in household energy (cooking and lighting); gasification; electric cycle rickshaws and water-related problems among others. The last chapter deals with the philosophical issues and hence gives a roadmap for the future development of rural India. The book is a very interesting read as it emphasizes the human interest aspect of problem solving for rural India. The future research areas described at the end of each chapter will certainly be very useful for persons who are planning to develop a career in research and development for rural areas. The book is available free of cost and is available on NARI website http://www.nariphaltan.org/roi.pdf. This book has been written in the hope that it may inspire bright engineers to be engaged in rural R&D and thus making the book available free may help in this effort.
Download or read book Arapaho Journeys written by Sara Wiles and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In what is now Colorado and Wyoming, the Northern Arapahos thrived for centuries, connected by strong spirituality and kinship and community structures that allowed them to survive in the rugged environment. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, as Anglo-Americans pushed west, Northern Arapaho life changed dramatically. Although forced to relocate to a reservation, the people endured and held on to their traditions. Today, tribal members preserve the integrity of a society that still fosters living ni'iihi', as they call it, "in a good way." Award-winning photographer Sara Wiles captures that life on film and in words in Arapaho Journeys, an inside look at thirty years of Northern Arapaho life on the Wind River Indian Reservation in central Wyoming. Through more than 100 images and 40 essays, Wiles creates a visual and verbal mosaic of contemporary Northern Arapaho culture. Depicted in the photographs are people Wiles met at Wind River while she was a social worker, anthropology student, and adopted member of an Arapaho family. Among others pictured are Josephine Redman, an older woman wrapped in a blanket, soft light illuminating its folds, and rancher-artist Eugene Ridgely, Sr., half smiling as he intently paints a drum. Interspersed among the portraits are images of races, basketball teams, and traditional games. Wiles's essays weave together tribal history, personal narratives, and traditional knowledge to describe modern-day reservation life and little-known aspects of Arapaho history and culture, including naming ceremonies and cultural revitalization efforts. This work broaches controversial topics, as well, including the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre of Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. Arapaho Journeys documents not only reservation life but also Wiles's growth as a photographer and member of the Wind River community from 1975 through 2005. This book offers readers a journey, one that will enrich their understanding of Wiles's art—and of the Northern Arapahos' history, culture, and lived experience.

This book was released on 2010-08-30 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of the book presents a unique scientific perspective on the nature of human thought, its production, transmission and interaction with matter. A conceptual framework is attempted to show how deep human thought, space, time, matter and Universal Consciousness are related. The nature of thought and mind control according to ancient Patanjali Yoga Darshan is explained in the light of modern brain research and cosmology. The book provides a beautiful blend of Indian philosophical thought and modern science. Dr. Rajvanshi brings into these essays a deep scientific insight on the nature of human mind and shows how the cultivation of deep thought can help us on the path of spirituality so that we can live a happy and sustainable life. The essays also explore the relationship between spirituality, science and technology and show that they go hand in hand and are necessary for a sustainable and emotionally satisfying world.

Download or read book Exploring Deep Science in Patanjali Yoga Sutras written by Anil K Rajvanshi and published by Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a booklet on the deep science embedded in Patanjali Yoga Sutras. According to me Patanjali was a true scientist who gave the first knowledge about the control of thought and mind and about universal laws governing time and space. Unfortunately till now none of the commentaries on Yoga Sutras have explored them through the lens of science. I feel this essay will help overcome that lacunae. Sage Patanjali has been my teacher. Whatever little I have written in the last 20 years on spirituality or thought about the interaction of mind-matter and higher things have been inspired by Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and I have always felt that his spirit has guided me in this journey. Yoga sutras is basically a book of life or how to maximize your living potential. It also teaches little bit of Hatha Yoga but the most important lesson it teaches in a scientific manner is how to make the mind (the instrument of comprehension) very powerful so that it can comprehend any secret of the Universe. And then use that powerful mind on different parts of body to get supernatural powers! Patanjali’s writings are like an infinite ocean. The more you read them the deeper is the knowledge. So this small booklet is a work in progress. I have been writing about the science in Yoga sutras for quite some time and have dealt them cursorily in my two books; Nature of Human Thought and Exploring the Mind of God. But this article is an attempt to explore it further and in depth. It is also surprising and fascinating that these sutras were written more than 2000 to 3000 years ago (the exact date is not known) and yet they present such scientifically advanced knowledge. One can only speculate that Sage Patanjali was not of this world but came from an advanced civilization to impart this knowledge. I have alluded to this aspect in this booklet. Exploring Deep Science in Patanjali Yoga Sutras. The booklet has the following sections: Who was Patanjali; About his Sutras or the book; Science of Sutras; Was Patanjali an extraterrestrial being; Patanjali and stars; Major Omissions in Sutras; and the final section is about my teacher Sage Patanjali. This is not a book in the true sense but a small booklet and my desire to publish it is to make it available to a wide audience for discussions and debate. I would therefore greatly appreciate it if the readers can comment on it either in Google book site or can send email to me. Anil K Rajvanshi Phaltan, Maharashtra, India June 2023. [email protected]
