Chapter 2: Samkhya Yoga (The yoga of knowledge) - 72 verses. Concluding his reasoning and yet confused, Arjuna turns to Lord Krishna for discernment (2:7).
Krishna begins countering Arjuna's objections. Krishna tells Arjuna that the eternal self is immortal and the body is designed to pass away (2:12-30).
Explaining the three principles dharma, (right action) atman (individual self) and sarira (body), Krishna reminds Arjuna that, as a warrior, his duty is to uphold the path of dharma through warfare (2:31-38).
Anatomical Exploration of Shavasana and its Physical and Mental Benefitsijtsrd
The term Yoga is originated from the Sanskrit root yuj which means to bind, join, attach and yoke, to direct and concentrate ones attention on, to use and apply. It also refers to union or communion. It is the true union of our will with the will of God. Yoga is performed through some specific postures called Asana. Among the eight limbs of Yoga, the yogic technique properly begins at the third limb that is the Asana. The word Asana is well known around the world for the yogic posture into which the whole science of Yoga is shrinking. Patanjali defines Asana as‘Sthirasukhatvam” in Yogasutra which can be translated as stable and agreeable. The benefits of Asana range from physical to spiritual level. Asana not only tone the muscles, ligaments, joints and nerves but also maintains the smooth functioning and health of entire body. “Shavasana” was described as one of the 32 most important Asana in Gheranda Samhita. This pose appears as the posture of a dead body and is, hence, named after it. Shava meaning “corpse”, and Asana meaning “posture”. The corpse posture can both antecede and follow a session of Hatha Yoga postures.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. Ahimsa is a Sanskrit word that literally means
non-harm.
We use it as a term that implies an attitude of
well being for oneself and all others.
It expresses
cultivating compassion,
a reverence for life,
a protective caring for all beings.
3. Without non-violence no living being can attain
salvation.
Harming living forms in any way (accept for those
which are inevitable, like breathing kills
microorganisms but we can't stop doing so) increases
our sins, and hinders the way to ultimate path of
salvation.
Even in normal lives, harming animals or humans is
not considered good, because there is something, a
quality of being a human (humanity), which separates
humans and animals.
4. So, finally it can be concluded that
Ahimsa is a quality which makes us
human,
but its meaning should not be limited to
just being a vegetarian, its above that, it
clears path to salvation, the ultimate
goal of any living being.
5. One basic Ahimsa Practice that every
one can do is to cultivate kindness:
Kindness towards oneself;
kindness toward others.
6. Mindfulness meditation, whether sitting,
standing or moving.
Develops concentration, which allows us
to calm and steady the mind.
It cultivates our natural wisdom and
compassion.
7.
8. Follow Hinduism's yamas, or
observances.
These are paired with niyamas, or
prohibitions.
Generally, both refer to codes of conduct
or Dharma.
Ahimsa is one of the yamas.
9. Practice any of the Hindu tradition's
yogas.
These include Raja Yoga (the Royal
Way), Jnana Yoga (the Way of Wisdom),
Bhakti Yoga (the Way of Devotion) and
Karma Yoga (the Way of Duty).
Devoted practice of any of the Hindu
paths to God-consciousness will lead
naturally to the practice of non-injury and
pure love.
10. Treat others with compassion and kindness.
Follow the Golden Rule. Ahimsa, as practiced
by Gandhi, was not passive, however, it was
active.
For example; if you are threatened for
peaceful protest, simply go limp in the
policeman's grip. Do not resist nor surrender.
11. Practice non-injury with the smallest of
living beings.
Rather than killing an insect, remove it to
the outdoors.
13. Practice kindness to yourself.
Practice Buddhism's "rainbow light"
meditation, in which you visualize multicoloured light radiating within you,
outward to the world and back to you.
Ironically, selflessness is a loving way to
treat yourself kindly.
14. It is the principle of the pure in heart never to injure
others, even when they themselves have been
hatefully injured.
--Tiru Kural, Verse 312.
If a man inflicts sorrow on another in the morning,
sorrow will come to him unbidden in the afternoon.
--Tiru Kural, Verse 319
Do not injure the beings living on the earth, in the air
and in the water.
--Yajur Veda
If the diet is pure the mind will be pure, and if the
mind is pure the intellect also will be pure.
--Manu Samhita
