In any society, unequal power relations, harmful social norms and stigma drives marginalization towards persons with disabilities. These must be addressed proactively to ensure persons with disabilities are included in development gains and to prevent or close the disability and development gap. VSO's Empowering a New Generation of Adolescent Girls with Education (ENGAGE) project works in empowering persons with disabilities by providing them access to education and addressing socio- cultural norms which don't prioritize supporting persons with disabilities. The project seeks to empower up to 2,340 highly marginalised, out-of- school girls – including those with disabilities – through education across three districts in Nepal’s Terai region.

This way the relationships that volunteers and communities build together ensure skills and knowledge sharing that is effective and inspirational for the local people to take ownership of their own development. VSO's programmes leverage an integrated volunteering approach; volunteers from local communities work alongside youth volunteers as well as local and international experts. Since volunteers are such an intergral part in all its operations, this week VSO celebrated the International Volunteer Day by sharing VSO volunteer’s work.

  • The Dasa(Ten) Mahavidyas in Tantra, Worship of Devi-Shakti Is Referred to As a Vidya. of the Hundreds of Tantrik Practices
    The Dasa(Ten) Mahavidyas In Tantra, worship of Devi-Shakti is referred to as a Vidya. Of the hundreds of tantrik practices, the worship of the ten major Devis is called the Dasa Mahavidya. These major forms of the goddess are described in the Todala Tantra. They are Kali, Tara, Maha Tripura Sundari (or Shodasi-Sri Vidya), Bhuvaneshvari, Chinnamasta, Bhairavi, Dhumavati, Bagalamukhi, Matangi, and Kamala. These ten aspects of Shakti are the epitome of the entire creation. Chapter 10 also outlines their consorts, although Dhumavati, the widow form, is not allocated a consort. There are several "levels" at which these Devis can be worshiped with the prescribed Mantra and Yantra. Like a simple worship of the yantra with the mantra recitation, as a remedial astrological measure, elaborate worship with all tantrak rituals for attaining various siddhis associated with these tantras and for spiritual salvation. Successful sadhana of these Vidyas gives several boons to the practitioner. The Tantrik- Yogi who has control over his senses and positively inclined uses the boons to guide people and for the benefit of mankind. The ones whose head starts spinning with success use them for the gratification of the senses, gather a bunch of disciples around them and become fake gurus. The last chapter of todala Tantra equates Vishnu's ten incarnations with the ten Mahavidyas as follows: "Shri Devi said: Lord of Gods, Guru of the universe, tell me of the ten avatars. Now I want to hear of this, tell me of their true nature. Paramesvara, reveal to me which avatar goes with which Devi.

  • Contemplation 2, Week 2 Homework
    Energies of Transformation: November 2010 Energies of Transformation: Practicing with the Power of the Divine Feminine Some Notes on practicing with the Wisdom Goddess, and Two Additional Contemplation Practices Week Two: November 17-24, 2010 Below, you’ll find: Some notes on Lalita Tripura Sundari, Two contemplation practices that will help you tune more deeply into the love-beauty energy that we are working with this week. The first is a meditation with Lalita Tripura Sundari. The second is a self-inquiry practice for looking at your beliefs about beauty, and then for looking into yourself with the eye of love. Sometimes, when we are contemplating love and beauty, opposite feelings arise. This is a natural part of the purification that the goddess energies set in motion. If this happens, rather than trying to push the feelings away, offer them into the welcome them. Please do each of these at least once during the week. I would recommend doing the first one a couple of times, or more if you have time. Set aside half an hour for each of the first two practices, turn off the phone, and make sure you have paper and pen handy, so that you can journal about it, and record whatever you need to record. In addition, I’m including instructions for the meditation on raising the sexual energy that we did during the last few minutes of the class. You might want to do this instead or in addition to your regular morning practice on one or two days this week. It is a powerful way to experience the spiritual aspect of your sexual energy, and one of the core inner practices of some schools of tantra.

Like the other parts of India, Tripura has been an important centre of interaction of several cultures and traditions. The state is a home to numerous Tribes having different traditions and cultures. Therefore there is a wide variety in the life style and cultures of this state. Due to the friendly nature of the Manikya kings, the state was globally well connected. In the Royal courtyard, many scholars, artists, architects and other literates were invited for cultural exchanges at that time. We can see the influences of those sharing thoughts in the Architectures of this state. The temples constructed during the late 15th- 16th century exhibits motifs influenced from the Indo-Islamic architectures, Bengal temples, Indo- Burmese style and other indigenous elements of this region. These temples reflect a synthesis of the arts, ideas, religious beliefs, values and the way of life during the Manikya ages.

  • Dus Mahavidyas the Ten Forms of the Devi
    Newsletter Archives www.dollsofindia.com Dus Mahavidyas the Ten Forms of the Devi Copyright © 2010, DollsofIndia Hinduism is probably the only religion in the world which talks about Shakti (the Sacred Feminine) concept as being equal in power to the Parabrahma or the Supreme Divine. According to Hinduism, the elements of Shakti (the female or the Prakruti) and Shiva (the male or the Purusha) are two parts of a whole. While they are incomplete by themselves, they form a balanced, harmonious whole together. Shakti, as the name itself suggests, means "Strength". Lord Shiva has stated time and again that He is nothing without His companion, Goddess Shakti. This clearly depicts the important role play by the Mother Goddess in the Hindu pantheon. In this article, we bring you the story about the Ten Mahavidyas of Hindu mythology. The Dus Mahavidyas The name, "Mahavidyas", comes from the Sanskrit roots of Maha, which means great and Vidya, meaning, Wisdom, Knowledge, Manifestation or Revelation. The Dus Mahavidyas or the Ten Goddesses are actually ten aspects of the Devi or the Divine Mother in Hinduism. These are Goddesses of Wisdom and represent an entire spectrum of divinity, right from horrific goddesses, to the most beautiful and peaceful deities. The Mahvidyas, as a group, represents a vital turning point in the history of Shaktism, as it marks the rise of Bhakti in Shaktism. This movement reached its peak in 1700 C.E. Commencing during the post-Puranic era, in about the 6th century C.E., this new theistic movement envisioned the supreme being as a female.
