    4NCE Whenever we see Dr. Jayadeva, we are reminded of Patanjali's Yoga Sutra: "When one becomes disinterested even in Omniscience One attains perpetual discriminative enlightenment from which ensues the concentration known as Dharmamegha (Virtue Pouring Cloud)". - Yoga Sutra 4.29 He represents a mind free of negativity and totally virtuous. Whoever comes in contact with him will only be blessed. The Master, Dr Jayadeva, was teaching in the Yoga Teachers Training class at The Yoga Institute. After the simple but inspiring talk, as usual he said. IIAnyquestions?" After many questions about spirituality and Yoga, one young student asked, "Doctor Sahab how did you reach such a high state of development?" In his simple self-effacing way he did not say anything. Theyoung enthusiast persisted, 'Please tell us.II He just said, "Adisciplined mind." Here was the definition of Yoga of Patanjali, "roqa Chitta Vritti Nirodha" Restraining the modifications of the mind is Yoga. Naturally the next sutra also followed "Tada Drashtu Svarupe Avasthanam". "So that the spirit is established in its own true nature." Recently, there was a function to observe the 93fd Foundation Day of The Yoga Institute which was founded by Dr. Jayadeva's father, Shri Yogendraji - the Householder Yogi and known as "the Father of Modern Yoga Renaissance".

And yet it is a truly- important work destined to have a great educational effect. It is a history of India's peaceful- struggle for liberation under Gandhi's guidance. All that happened there came about in our time — under our very eyes. What makes the book into a most effective work of art is simply the choice and arrangement of the facts reported. It is the skill pf the born historian, in whose hands the various threads are held together and woven into a pattern from which a complete picture emerges. How is it that a young man is able to create such a mature work? The author gives us the explanation in an introduction: He considers it his bounden duty to serve a cause with all his ower and without flinching from any sacrifice, a cause v aich was clearly embodied in Gandhi's unique personality: to overcome, by means of the awakening of moral forces, the danger of self-destruction by which humanity is threatened through breath-taking technical developments. The threatening downfall is characterized by such terms as "depersonalization" regimentation “total war"; salvation by the words “personal responsibility together with non-violence and service to mankind in the spirit of Gandhi I believe the author to be perfectly right in his claim that each individual must come to a clear decision for himself in this important matter: There is no “middle ground ".

  • KHADI Emma Tarlo “This Is Sacred Cloth.” M. K. Gandhi Khadi Or
    KHADI Emma Tarlo “This is sacred cloth.” M. K. Gandhi Khadi or khaddar is the term conventionally used in North and Central India to refer to varieties of coarse cotton cloth hand woven using hand spun yarn. This was the cloth commonly worn by peasant and artisan groups in pre-industrial India. It was made from locally grown cotton which would be harvested by peasants and labourers, spun by local women and woven into cloth by men from various specialist weaving castes. The precise technology involved in the production of khadi would vary from region to region, as would the techniques used for its decoration (dying, embroidery, printing etc.) Although hand spun hand woven cotton cloth of this kind was common throughout India, it was not until the early 20th century, when its production and use were in severe decline that the term “khadi” entered nationalist vocabulary and the cloth became a key visual symbol of India’s struggle from colonial rule. The effectiveness of khadi as a visual symbol of the Indian freedom struggle cannot be understood without examination of the critical role played by M. K. Gandhi (known by many as Mahatma – Great Soul) in elevating it to the status of a national cloth imbued with quasi-sacred properties. Gandhi’s success lay in his capacity to pick up, embody and develop existing political and economic critiques of colonialism and rework these through his own clothing practices and through his elaboration of the symbolism of cloth – a simple everyday material form to which people from all backgrounds could relate.

  • The Indian Press and Nikita Khrushchev's 1955 Visit to India
    Finding Their Voice: The Indian Press and Nikita Khrushchev's 1955 Visit to India by Sukhjit Singh Chohan B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2013 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences Sukhjit Singh Chohan 2015 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2015 Approval Name: Sukhjit Singh Chohan Degree: Master of Arts Title: Finding Their Voice: The Indian Press and Nikita Khrushchev's Visit to India Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Roxanne Panchasi Associate Professor Dr. Ilya Vinkovetsky Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Dr. Karen Ferguson Supervisor Professor Urban Studies Program & Department of History Dr. Alexei Kojevnikov External Examiner Associate Professor Department of History University of British Columbia Date Defended/Approved: 14 August 2015 ii Abstract This thesis considers Nikita Khrushchev's 1955 visit to India. It demonstrates a correlation between India's foreign policy of non-alignment and peaceful co-existence and domestic concerns about the plight of the majority of its citizens, as Indian elites apprehensive about potential social unrest sought to navigate a course for the nation that would allay such anxieties. It highlights how Khrushchev's trip to India heightened such anxieties among Indian elites, as his rhetoric on development, colonialism, and the West engendered the appeal of socialism among India's poor. This thesis argues that Indian elites reacted to the Soviet visit so as to alleviate their domestic concerns about potential social unrest (and the consequent loss of their privileged position) triggered by the widespread poverty afflicting the country, and to further their foreign agenda, as they responded to the oratory of their guests so as to advance their own aims.

  • Khadi – a Sartorial Call for Mobilization
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention ISSN (Online): 2319 – 7722, ISSN (Print): 2319 – 7714 www.ijhssi.org Volume 3 Issue 3 ǁ March. 2014 ǁ PP.41-46 Khadi – A Sartorial Call for Mobilization Menka Assistant Professor, Daulat Ram College, University of Delhi, India ABSTRACT: Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had a knack for identifying the simplest of things which would have an impact on the masses. He knew that food and clothing mattered the most to the impoverished millions in India. The Dandi March was a clarion call to defy the salt laws. The Swadeshi enterprise with khadi as the dominant theme showed Gandhi's immense skill at effective mobilization. This paper would try to show how khadi was used by Gandhi to give a firmer shape to the Indian National Movement by involving all sections of the people especially women and children. Gandhi’s attitude towards women comes out strongly in the course of this discussion. An attempt is also made to address the question of fashion.[1] It is important to note that Gandhi did not simply preach but also lived through example. Gandhi’s life presents itself as a sartorial experience which he transmitted to the masses through khadi. KEYWORDS: Cotton, Gandhi, Khadi, Mobilization, Swadeshi I. INTRODUCTION “India‟s freedom hangs solely by a cotton thread” – M. K. Gandhi The 1920s saw khadi as one of the three most important goals of the Constructive Programme and the Non-Cooperation movement. The other two being removal of untouchability and Hindu-Muslim unity. Gandhi sought to right the Khilafat and Jalianwalabagh wrongs through the unique weapon of khadi.
