The magazine is an instrument to disseminate spiritual knowledge for the moral, physical and mental uplift of humanity without any discrimination as the subject matter discussed therein is always of common interest and of universal appeal. The fifteen Vahinis - streams of sacredness - known as the Vahini Series comprising annotation and interpretation of the Upanishads and other scriptures, Itihasas like the Ramayana, the Bhagavatha and the Mahabharata, and authentic explanations on Dhyana, Dharma, Prema, etc., have been serially published in this magazine as and when they emanated from the Divine pen of Bhagawan Baba.

Download or read book CtEU written by Maarten Simons and published by Universitaire Pers Leuven. This book was released on 2011 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The university is an institution that goes back to the Middle Ages. As universitas magistrorum et scholarium, the university was a community of scholars and students gathered around books and preoccupied with study and the search for truth. What is the role of the university today? The meanings of teaching, study, and research have changed. Screens are replacing books, online learning environments are replacing lecture halls, and students are becoming learners. In the context of a growing emphasis on innovation and development, competition among institutions, and the privatization of knowledge, the role of communities of scholars and students is changing. Some argue that the university is entering a new phase; others claim that we face the end of the university. Curating the European University features projects involving new ways of publishing, alternative organizations of departments, proposals for open access and open source, and university architecture and accessibility; it offers a unique contribution to the public debate on the role of the university.

Download or read book Devils in the House of God written by Mathew C. John and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-03-09 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Italian Abbot General, Andreae Pantaloni, who envied and resented the Prior’s excellence and his popularity among the majority of the monks, supported the conspiracy of some monks against the Prior of a monastery in India. To keep the Wayanad Monastery under his control, Andreae followed the old colonial tactic: divide and rule. With his influence of being an Italian Abbot General who was but a few steps away from the Vatican power corridors, Andreae manipulated the Holy See and procured documents against the Indian monks who had neither power nor influence. Andreae had the advantage of being White. With the European colonial attitude, Andreae invaded the spiritual frontiers of Indian soil. Andreae, with the consent of the Holy See, termed the Indian monks who stood up to him as 'dissidents'. The Vatican favored the Italin who was higher in hierarchical rank and ignored the mercy-plea of the ordinary Indian monks for help. Not having anyone to help them in their struggle for justice, the monks were forced to leave the Order. After more than a decade later, Anthony, one of the prime conspirators, ascended the throne of the Abbot General. The chief shepherd crept in through the back door. A story and history of the struggle of a group of Catholic monks in a monastery torn by conspiracy and betrayal, half-truths and falsehood, power struggle and abuse of authority. Based on real events.

Download or read book The New BJP written by Nalin Mehta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-11 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the BJP became the world’s largest political party. It goes beyond the usual narrative of the party’s Hindutva politics to explain how, under Narendra Modi, the party reshaped the Indian polity using its own brand of social engineering. According to the findings of this book, this reconstruction was cleverly powered by new caste coalitions, the claim of a new welfare state that focused on marginalised social groups and the making of a women-voter base. Based on data from three unique indices—the Mehta–Singh Social Index, which studies the caste composition of Indian political parties; the Narad Index, which calculates communication patterns across topics and audiences; and PollNiti, which connects and tallies hundreds of political and economic datasets—The New BJP is full of startling insights into the way both the party and the country function. Previously untapped historical records, exclusive interviews with party leaders and comprehensive reportage from across India provide a fresh understanding of the BJP’s growth areas, including the Northeast and south India. A lucid and objective study of the BJP and India today, this book will be useful to researchers, journalists, students, activists and general public alike. Print edition not for sale in South Asia (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka).

Download or read book British Indian Picture Postcards in Bengaluru written by Emily Stevenson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining ethnographic and archival research, this book examines the lives of colonial-period postcards and reveals how they become objects of contemporary historical imagination in India. Picture postcards were circulated around the world in their billions in the early twentieth century and remained, until the advent of social media, unmatched as the primary means of sharing images alongside personal messages. This book, based on original research in Bengaluru, shows that their lives stretch from their initial production and consumption in the early 1900s into the present where they act as visual and material mediators in postcolonial productions of history, locality, and heritage against a backdrop of intense urban change. The book will be of interest to photographic historians, visual anthropologists, and art historians.

Download or read book Asian Scientists on the Move written by Anju Mary Paul and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing scientific research output from Asia has been making headlines since the start of the twenty-first century. But behind this science story, there is a migration story. The elite scientists who are pursuing cutting-edge research in Asia are rarely 'homegrown' talent but were typically born in Asia, trained in the West, and then returned to work in Asia. Asian Scientists on the Move explores why more and more Asian scientists are choosing to return to Asia, and what happens after their return, when these scientists set up labs in Asia and start training the next generation of Asian scientists. Drawing on evocative firsthand accounts from 119 Western-trained Asian scientists about their migration decisions and experiences, and in-depth analysis of the scientific field in four country case studies - China, India, Singapore and Taiwan - the book reveals the growing complexity of the Asian scientist migration system.
