THE AMERICAN MAN WHILE PUTTING TOGETHER THIS ISSUE ABOUT MEN, I kept hearing in my head that headline that ran in “Le Monde” after the tragedy of September 11— “We are all Americans”—and kept thinking instead, “We are all men.” Of course, our commonalities extend beyond our nationality and religion, but I might even venture that they extend beyond our gender. Quality and humanity cross boundaries: Delighting in the writing of M.F.K. Fisher is not limited to foodies, just as the pleasure of NPR’s “Car Talk” is not reserved for gearheads, or the book “Moneyball” for baseball fans. So although we may not all actually be men, we are all, for the most part, interesting, curious people who care about interesting, curious things—like the idea of the American man and the choices he makes. This issue gathers a diverse lineup of fascinating menfolk. From literary luminaries like J.D. Salinger, William and Henry James, and Henry Miller—who all sought spiritual solace from the teachings of Vivekananda, the swami who fi rst brought yoga to our shores—to the multiplatform hip-hop artist Pharrell, possibly the fi rst tough guy to rock an Hermès Birkin. We feature a group of schoolteachers, who after successful careers in business traded in the boardroom for the classroom, to the great benefi t of their students. And Paul Cantelon, a fi lm composer who opens the doors to his eccentrically delightful, Bloomsbury-esque home, where he lives in creative splendor with his wife, a neighboring couple and their children. An interesting man is more than his gender: He is intellect, ferocity, fearlessness, tenderness and grit. Sound familiar? All of us are a work in progress, becoming who it is we strive to be.

  • Sri Ramakrishna & His Disciples in Orissa
    Preface Pilgrimage places like Varanasi, Prayag, Haridwar and Vrindavan have always got prominent place in any pilgrimage of the devotees and its importance is well known. Many mythological stories are associated to these places. Though Orissa had many temples, historical places and natural scenic beauty spot, but it did not get so much prominence. This may be due to the lack of connectivity. Buddhism and Jainism flourished there followed by Shaivaism and Vainavism. After reading the lives of Sri Chaitanya, Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and direct disciples we come to know the importance and spiritual significance of these places. Holy Mother and many disciples of Sri Ramakrishna had great time in Orissa. Many are blessed here by the vision of Lord Jagannath or the Master. The lives of these great souls had shown us a way to visit these places with spiritual consciousness and devotion. Unless we read the life of Sri Chaitanya we will not understand the life of Sri Ramakrishna properly. Similarly unless we study the chapter in the lives of these great souls in Orissa we will not be able to understand and appreciate the significance of these places. If we go on pilgrimage to Orissa with same spirit and devotion as shown by these great souls, we are sure to be benefited spiritually. This collection will put the light on the Orissa chapter in the lives of these great souls and will inspire the devotees to read more about their lives in details. This will also help the devotees to go to pilgrimage in Orissa and strengthen their devotion.

Not only did he modernize women’s closets—most importantly introducing pants as essentials—but his extraordinary eye and technique allowed every shape and size to wear his clothes. “My job is to work for women,” he said. “Not only mannequins, beautiful women, or rich women. But all women.” True, he dressed the swans, as Truman Capote called the rarefied group of glamorous socialites such as Marella Agnelli and Nan Kempner, and the stars, such as Lauren Bacall and Catherine Deneuve, but he also gave tremendous happiness to his unknown clients across the world. Whatever the occasion, there was always a sense of being able to “count on Yves.” It was small wonder that British Vogue often called him “The Saint” because in his 40-year career women felt protected and almost blessed wearing his designs.

  • Translating, Practicing and Commodifying Yoga in the Us
    TRANSLATING, PRACTICING AND COMMODIFYING YOGA IN THE U.S. By SHREENA NIKETA DIVYAKANT GANDHI A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Shreena Niketa Divyakant Gandhi 2 To My Dad and Mom 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I am thankful for all the teachers that I have had over the years. Each member of my dissertation committee has been instrumental in how I have come to think about history and religion. Dr. Jon Sensbach (through Rebecca) has helped me think about the characters that create the history; that they are not merely pawns but agents that are emblematic of their times and contexts, which helped me realize that the various yogi characters in my dissertation are not only products but also producers of history. Dr. Manuel Vasquez introduced me to Maurice Merleau-Ponty and the fallacy of a Cartesian outlook especially when examining a bodily practice. Far beyond yoga, Dr. Vasudha Narayanan opened my eyes to the richness and variety of my own history, heritage and faith; her words have brought meaning and hope in times of extreme light and darkness over these past six years. Dr. David Hackett has patiently and meticulously worked with me on a variety of subjects; because of his dedicated teaching I have been able to think through and about the commodity and fetish, its place in culture, capitalism and American religious history. Without the guidance and teaching of Dr. Narayanan and Dr.

Sander Photo Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire 20th Chaumont-sur-Loire International Garden Festival From 22 April to 16 October 2011 2011 theme : “Gardens of the future or the art of happy biodiversity” It is biodiversity that gives us the pleasure of discovery, the beauty of landscapes, the meeting of languages and the richness of exchanges. It makes the world a delight and fosters the possibility of a shared world arising out of our differences. The garden is both a source and an end in itself, the expression of nature in its original form, of transformation and organisation, of utility and pleasure, and thus all on its own brings together all the richness of the world, everything nature gives us and all that knowledge and history have brought in terms of transformations, organisation and rites, creativity and expression over the centuries. The garden is a celebration of the diversity of people and nature, of living species, of their coexistence and of the necessary balance between them. Nowadays, this balance is under threat. People have drawn on natural resources as if they were taking them from a bottomless well, without any concern for their conservation and their uniqueness. The ever-increasing speed at which species are being lost is jeopardising biodiversity and the multiplicity of nature’s life forces. “Over the last 50 years, the natural world has been in considerable decline. Species are dying out and with them the biological, chemical and structural characteristics that they carried with them.

Renowned for her bohemian chic, daring style as well as for her lightness, nonchalance, and humor, Loulou de la Falaise was not only an influential fashion icon but also a breath of fresh air to the world of Parisian haute couture. The Anglo-French beauty assisted the designer Halston and modeled briefly for Diana Vreelands Vogue before moving to Paris in 1972 to work alongside the iconic designer Yves Saint Laurent. A true original, her sense of color and fantasy and her attitude would energize the mythic house and fashion in general. For almost forty years, de la Falaise would forge her professional reputation designing extraordinary jewelry and accessories both for Yves Saint Laurent as well as for her own line. This elegant volume is a life in pictures, with over 400 images by legendary contemporary photographers, from Helmut Newton and Richard Avedon to Steven Meisel and Bettina Rheims, as well as an essay by Pierre Berg and interviews with Loulou intimates such as Betty Catroux, Ins de la Fressange, Diane von Furstenberg, Christian Louboutin, Elsa Peretti, Paloma Picasso, Andr Leon Talley, and Oscar de la Renta.
