Information has been collected from various sources, namely directories, newsletters, Internet, proforma filled in by organizations, telephonic verification, letterheads, etc. However, NIPCCD does not take any responsibility for any error that may inadvertently have crept in. The address of offices of organizations, telephone numbers, e-mail IDs, activities, etc. change from time to time, hence NIPCCD may not be held liable for any incorrect information included in the Directory. Foreword Voluntary organizations play a very important role in society. Social development has been ranked high on the priority list of Government programmes since Independence, and voluntary organizations have been equal partners in accelerating the pace of development. Being in close proximity to the community, voluntary organizations have done pioneering work in many areas, rendered services, highlighted many social problems, undertaken advocacy, and lobbied for the rights of the under privileged. To showcase the work of voluntary organizations, a Project was undertaken by Documentation Centre for Women and Child (DCWC), NIPCCD to bring out a series of Directories of Voluntary Organizations working in different areas namely health; nutrition; child welfare; social welfare; women welfare; destitute children, including adoption and street children; child labour; social defence, including trafficking; funding organizations; human development and education; scheduled castes/ scheduled tribes; and rural development. The Directories give detailed information about organizations and their activities, including postal address, telephone, fax, website, e-mail address, and key words indicating their programmes and activities. The present document covers organizations who are working in the field of social defence and prevention of trafficking of women and children. For the convenience of users, organizations in the Directory have been arranged alphabetically state-wise, and an Index too is provided to facilitate retrieval. I would like to express my gratitude to all the organizations who have extended their full cooperation and shared the relevant information. Without their support it would not have been possible to bring out this compilation. My gratitude also extends to all persons from NIPCCD and its Regional Centres, and all those who have cooperated so willingly in sharing information with us. It is hoped that this document would be useful to all stakeholders working for the empowerment of vulnerable sections. (A. K.

Sometimes this task is made difficult not by lack of gratitude nor lack of reason for it. Rather, we are occasionally fortunate enough to have more gratitude than words can contain. Such is the case when I consider the contributions of my advisor, Jeffrey Wattles, who went far beyond his obligations in the preparation of this document. From the beginning, his nurturing presence has fueled the process of exploration, allowing me to follow my truth, rather than persuading me to support his.

  • Jain Philosophy and Practice I 1
    PANCHA PARAMESTHI Chapter 01 - Pancha Paramesthi Namo Arihantänam: I bow down to Arihanta, Namo Siddhänam: I bow down to Siddha, Namo Äyariyänam: I bow down to Ächärya, Namo Uvajjhäyänam: I bow down to Upädhyäy, Namo Loe Savva-Sähunam: I bow down to Sädhu and Sädhvi. Eso Pancha Namokkäro: These five fold reverence (bowings downs), Savva-Pävappanäsano: Destroy all the sins, Manglänancha Savvesim: Amongst all that is auspicious, Padhamam Havai Mangalam: This Navakär Mantra is the foremost. The Navakär Mantra is the most important mantra in Jainism and can be recited at any time. While reciting the Navakär Mantra, we bow down to Arihanta (souls who have reached the state of non-attachment towards worldly matters), Siddhas (liberated souls), Ächäryas (heads of Sädhus and Sädhvis), Upädhyäys (those who teach scriptures and Jain principles to the followers), and all (Sädhus and Sädhvis (monks and nuns, who have voluntarily given up social, economical and family relationships). Together, they are called Pancha Paramesthi (The five supreme spiritual people). In this Mantra we worship their virtues rather than worshipping any one particular entity; therefore, the Mantra is not named after Lord Mahävir, Lord Pärshva- Näth or Ädi-Näth, etc. When we recite Navakär Mantra, it also reminds us that, we need to be like them. This mantra is also called Namaskär or Namokär Mantra because in this Mantra we offer Namaskär (bowing down) to these five supreme group beings. Recitation of the Navakär Mantra creates positive vibrations around us, and repels negative ones. The Navakär Mantra contains the foremost message of Jainism. The message is very clear.

That means creating new opportunity for you across every sector and every country. And second, we collectively are successful when the world around us is successful. That means every community and country you are helping small businesses become more productive, multinationals more competitive, nonprofits more impactful, governments more efficient, improving health care and educational outcomes, creating new employment opportunities and much, much more. That’s what makes our ecosystem so unique. Over the course of this pandemic, you’ve done the hard work to help the world use digital technology get through one of the most challenging moments in modern history. The past year, while heartbreaking in many ways, was a catalyst and the beginning of an era of rapid change. We are going through the greatest structural transformation in our economy in a generation. And while we aren’t going to be able to predict every tailwind or challenge ahead, we know that digital technology will be key to resilience and transformation through whatever may come our way. There is no going back to digital adoption levels of two years ago, there’s only going forward, and this will require a step function change in the level of tech intensity in the years ahead.

  • The Six Systems of HINDU PHILOSOPHY a Primer
    The Six Systems of HINDU PHILOSOPHY A Primer Swami Harshananda Foreword Swami Vivekananda has declared that a Hindu does everything religiouslyáboth good and bad things! Religion is in his very blood as it were. But Hinduism is definitely not just a bundle of rituals, dogmas and outward observances only. It has a philosophy behind it, as a strong and unshakable foundation, based on the Śrutis or the Vedas and going back to a few milleniums. Each one of the philosopher sages of hoary antiquityáwhether Gautama or Kapila or Jaimini or Bādarāyaṇa Vyāsaáhad taught his philosophy based upon the Vedas and his own `darśana' or realisation, after undergoing severe austerities. In course of time these developed into the now wellknown Ṣaḍdarśanas or Six Systems of Hindu Philosophy. Though these Six Systems are different in their approaches to the Truth, they are unanimous as far as the final goal of humankind is concerned, viz., total eradication of suffering and attainment of a state of eternal peace, as alsothe means for the same i.e., tattvajñāna (knowledge of the Truth). We will be justified in calling this as `The Philosophy' of Hinduism whereas the individual systems, all of which are paths to perfection, can get their respective nomenclatures as the `Nyāya Darśana,' the `Sāṅkhya Darśana' and so on. There are quite a few books on this subject of the Six Systems by intellectual giants and master-minds like Dr. Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan, Surendranath Dasgupta and M. Hiriyanna, apart from a host of less known but certainly not less competent, scholars. But they are meant more for the research scholars and serious students of philosophy, studying in the universities.

  • Yogic Self-Awareness Assessment — Abhyasa Ashram
    Yogic Self-Awareness Assessment — Abhyasa Ashram Yogic Self-Awareness Assessment Following is a Self-Awareness Assessment outline. Our approach to teaching and training at Abhyasa Ashram is one of coaching in one-to-one or small group sessions (satsang). The purpose of coaching sessions on the Self-Assessment outline is to help you learn how to self assess. The Self-Assessment is truly intended to be an assessment by yourself of yourself. The coach is not here to analyze you or diagnose you like a typical medical or psychological assessment might be done. It is your personal exploration of your own current state of life and being. The coach has done this before and is here to facilitate your own introspection and observation. The items of self-awareness listed below are from the perspective of yoga as seen through the tradition. By increasing self-awareness one gradually comes to see that these are not who we really are, which leads to the realization of the witness of these, the true Self, Atman. What to look for in each area of self-assessment For each of the areas of self-assessment, have the following orientations of what to look for: • What am I doing well that I need to continue doing? • What am I doing that I need to do more of? • What am I doing that I need to reduce or stop doing entirely? • What am I not doing that I need to start doing? • In what way does this relate to my current situation? • How might I plan with this in relation to my future situation? Frequency of Self-Assessments • Initial Self-Assessment with coach • Ongoing Self-Assessment and training • Monthly scanning Self-Assessment • Quarterly complete Self-Assessment and needs analysis • Annual thorough Self-Assessment with coach Print out the Contents and Notes page to use for making current notes of your self- assessment.

  • BHUPENDRA CHANDRA DAS/ Vedic Concept Of
    VEDIC CONCEPT OF ṚTA Bhupendra Chandra Das Abstract: The term ‘ṛta’ is used in the specific sense in the RG Veda. The term “ṛta” occurs in the RG Veda approximately four hundred and fifty times. The methods employed in this paper deal with only a limited percentage of the actual occurrences of ṛta in the RG Veda. Hence the conclusion or findings will not be finally validated until all of the usages of ṛta have been examined. It is a mode of “Being” because the gods, who are ṛtajāta, provide light, wide space, safety, security, freedom, stability, visions etc., through their association with, and by means of the power of ṛta. It is the foundation for the functions of gods and men through which these entities maintain both their relation with ṛta and the security of the cosmos as well. The sacrifice is identified with ṛta because that rite harnesses the power of ṛta by which men are able to gain the freedom, safety, security etc., which are necessary for the persistent existence in the cosmos. Sacred speech is ṛta because it is the mark of the ṛṣi; this type of speech is the result of an alaukika or supernormal vision of that which is real; Ṛṣi brings his acts and intentions into conformity with ṛta in such a way that he, like gods, is able to siege upon ṛta as his mode of being. Therefore, ṛta may be regarded as the necessary pre-condition for the safety, freedom, reliability, truth, law, order of the sat which manifested through the intentions and acts of men and gods.
