Sometimes, I am afraid of hearing people saying with proud: "Such was me. I will not change my true self for anyone, anything." To some extent, this spirit is a virtue that shall be remembered by all of us. But in most cases, you'd better think it over.

Ch. VII in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
CHAPTER VII
I lived in Master Hugh's family about seven years. During this time, I succeeded in learning to read and write. In accomplishing this, I was compelled to resort to various stratagems. I had no regular teacher. My mistress, who had kindly commenced to instruct me, had, in compliance with the advice and direction of her husband, not only ceased to instruct, but had set her face against my being instructed by any one else. It is due, however, to my mistress to say of her, that she did not adopt this course of treatment immediately. She at first lacked the depravity indispensable to shutting me up in mental darkness. It was at least necessary for her to have some training in the exercise of irresponsible power, to make her equal to the task of treating me as though I were a brute.
My mistress was, as I have said, a kind and tender-hearted woman; and in the simplicity of her soul she commenced, when I first went to live with her, to treat me as she supposed one human being ought to treat another. In entering upon the duties of a slaveholder, she did not seem to perceive that I sustained to her the relation of a mere chattel, and that for her to treat me as a human being was not only wrong, but dangerously so. Slavery proved as injurious to her as it did to me. When I went there, she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman. There was no sorrow or suffering for which she had not a tear. She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities. Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness. The first step in her downward course was in her ceasing to instruct me. She now commenced to practise her husband's precepts. She finally became even more violent in her opposition than her husband himself. She was not satisfied with simply doing as well as he had commanded; she seemed anxious to do better. Nothing seemed to make her more angry than to see me with a newspaper. She seemed to think that here lay the danger. I have had her rush at me with a face made all up of fury, and snatch from me a newspaper, in a manner that fully revealed her apprehension. She was an apt woman; and a little experience soon demonstrated, to her satisfaction, that education and slavery were incompatible with each other.
From this time I was most narrowly watched. If I was in a separate room any considerable length of time, I was sure to be suspected of having a book, and was at once called to give an account of myself. All this, however, was too late. The first step had been taken. Mistress, in teaching me the alphabet, had given me the inch, and no precaution could prevent me from taking the ell.
The plan which I adopted, and the one by which I was most successful, was that of making friends of all the ...

Kundakunda’s Samayasāra: Present-day applicability of the two-century-old tex...Life Coach Medhavi Jain
Samayasāra (The Nature of the Self) is a famous philosophical text composed by Digaṃbara Ācārya Kundakunda in the 1st Century BC.
It has 439 verses in ten chapters that discuss the nature of Jīva (pure self/soul), its false attachment to Karma and how it can attain Mokṣa.
Samayasāra expounds on universal concepts and their emphasis in the philosophy of Jainism, such as Karma, āsrava (influx of karmas), Bandha (Bondage), Saṃvara (stoppage), Nirjarā (shedding), and Mokṣa (complete annihilation of karmas).Presentation on Tulip Foundation & Dharma For Life.pdf
Countless theories describe some or the other aspect of truth and satiate a seeker's quest. We are tiny, insignificant creatures striving to know how the universe works, the fundamental laws of nature and questions like that. By far, through my experiences and whatever knowledge I've gained, I've analysed that, be it modern science or any human belonging to any community or nation, we are helpless in front of death. And it is something each of us has to face sooner or later, be it ours or anyone dear to us. In these times of void, grief, and dilemma, we need a theory that provides peace or answers to our woeful situation. India is undeniably the hub of the most ancient philosophies of the world. Without a doubt, all religious philosophies offer some solace in such times, and as I said earlier, we are tiny, insignificant creatures; we tend to adopt a theory that seems the best to our logical or not-so-logical minds. Death and countless other questions, answers of which one seeks throughout one's life, are not available anywhere except religious philosophies. In all the contexts of restlessness, grieving or any other, this Indian philosophy of wisdom, which we know as the Jain Philosophy, has provided solace to my restlessness. Hence, when my transformation happened after coming in touch with this ancient Indian wisdom, I decided to dedicate my time and life to understanding, researching and propagating the same.

Theory of Evolution Through The Time Cycle in Jainism.pdf
When we think about the theory of evolution, one thought creeps into every thoughtful mind that if we have evolved through apes (like beings), this evolution will not stop here. Homo sapiens is the most modern, most developed, strongest, wisest version. Evolution is a continuous process, and, in the future, as per the survival of the fittest and, ironically, even the most powerful, we will evolve into some other, even better species! Well, without a doubt, it sounds immensely positive and hopeful.
Till now, we look at the sequence of evolution as (beings similar to) apes which have evolved into Homo Sapiens and will continue to do so until perfection. Hypothetically we can look at this sequence through exactly the opposite perspective, which leads us from being the most developed Humans to present-day Homo Sapiens through devolution. If this devolution continues, Homo-Sapiens will devolve into (beings similar to) apes. In either case, evolution and devolution are not stagnant or permanent processes. Even if either pinnacle is achieved, it won’t stop, for change is constant in the universe. This thought/idea leads to a cyclic pattern of occurrences, which provides a base for further research.
Modern science has only analysed the previous scenario, whereas it should have been looked at both ways; for the present-day scenario of exploitation of domesticated animals, unethical use of armaments and finances, man’s hunger to attain power and quest to intrude into the workings of nature through experimentations of Artificial Intelligence etc. portray a different, fearful scene in front of our eyes. Also, suppose survival of the fittest is valid due to the increasing human race population and enhanced disparity. In that case, that day does not seem far when the more powerful humans start to massacre the less powerful ones to maintain their beloved planet's population.
In this paper, an attempt has been made to reflect this theory by adding consciousness and then by analysing the same through the glass of time cycle in Jain philosophy. This indicates that what we understand as evolution is actually devolution.
Peace and good vibes

Paramāṇu in Jainism the invisible but physical God Particle.pdf
Science and philosophy go hand in hand; just as every scientist is a philosopher, every philosopher is a scientist, too, as both science and philosophy are concerned with finding the reality and nature of things. Where science focuses on discovering through experimentation of the physical, philosophy aims to peel off the layers of a specific through valid reasoning. Both deal with the restlessness of mankind and motivate the same to find the secrets of the universe. Finding the smallest indivisible particle of Matter is one such quest of science which is inevitably philosophical.
Quarks and Leptons are few of the fundamental, elementary particles discovered by physicists that lay the foundation of the physical world. We notice that ancient Indian philosophers called the most fundamental particle paramāṇu, which translates into English as the absolute atom, and gave a detailed description of the same. Paramāṇu is the smallest indivisible part of Matter, known as pudgala in Jain philosophy. According to the scholars, a paramāṇu cannot be grasped through the senses, it can only become worthy of sensory perception when in a skandha (group of countless paramāṇu). Hence, just like the realization of the soul, understanding the paramāṇu is also a matter of actuality. This paper sheds a little light on the same as described in few of the other Indian philosophies like Nyāya Vaiśeṣika, Sāṁkhya and Buddhist and present-day physics and deals in detail with the description of paramāṇu provided by the Jain philosophers.

When we think about the theory of evolution, one thought creeps into every thoughtful mind for sure that if we have evolved through apes, this evolvement will not stop here only? At Homo sapiens being the most modern, most developed, strongest, wisest version. For it seems to be a continuous process and definitely in future as per the survival of the fittest, and ironically now even the most powerful as well, we will evolve into some other, even better species! Well without a doubt it sounds immensely positive and hopeful.
Till now it is monkeys – evolution – Homo Sapiens and so on… Now let’s take a look at this scenario through exactly the opposite perspective : Homo Sapiens – devolution – monkeys and so on…
Modern science has only analysed the previous scenario whereas it should have been discussed both ways. We can also put it this way: either we have evolved through the least developed species unto the most developed one or we have devolved from the super humans unto the current human race and why stop here lets also try to see our future; for the present day environmental conditions, threats of global warming etc. portray a different, fearful scene in front of our eyes. Also, if survival of the fittest is valid and right, due to the increasing population of human race and disparity, that day does not seem far when the more powerful humans start to massacre the less powerful ones in order to maintain the population of their beloved planet called earth.
In this paper an attempt has been made to reflect this theory through the glass of time cycle in Jain philosophy, with a hope that something very interesting and worth noticing will be found.

Here I present 10 more thought tales from by recent book. Nothing but a peep into the consciousness for self-improvement.
Self improvement at workplace
Often we talk big about self-improvement in personal life, but at workplace many people completely ignore the idea. Have written what I observed & tried to throw light on how to improvise oneself.
Motivation for work/passion/dreams
From time to time every dreamer feels demotivated, lack of energy or tired. These quotes will fill you up with newer energy. A compilation of some of my quotes related to fulfil one's passion.
Hindi poetry based on the movie 'The Stoning of Soraya M'
Though I love talking about positivity and happiness but that doesn't mean that unfairness doesn't exist in this world. This movie shook me up in 2013, written this poetry at that time only. Finally sharing it.
Movie is available on youtube. If you can, watch it else this poetry will take only a few minutes to give you an idea of the immense pain Soraya would have gone through.

Relevance of Jain Karma Theory in Context of Self Improvement
All of us are always ready to blame someone else for each of our wrongdoing or to look upto some supernatural power for escape. No one tells us how important is it to self-introspect. In this slideshow I've tried to throw light on the same through Jain Karma Theory.
What truly religion is...
Contrary to today's form of religion, actually religion is, that provides me freedom, answers my rational queries and makes me independent.
What today's form of religions have done to us?
Friends, life is about recognising our hidden strengths and by doing so finding peace and happiness. In all these religious philosophies play an important role. But unfortunately I feel today they are depicted as opposite.
Religion related queries that bother every rational mind
Hey friends,
Being a student of Jain philosophy, I realised that a religious philosophy is about awakening your rationality and to make you that independent that you can find your answers on your own, fearlessly, and confidently.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic Imperative
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 Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

At least they think so
- 1. At least They Think So A Short Story on Ethics By- Life Coach Medhavi Jain Word Count - 359
- 2. There is a community who is the most non-violent and pious of all. At least they think so. They demonstrate that they know and follow the path of truth. Their hermits walk barefoot to travel distances, be them any. The laymen walk along with them either as a courtesy or to shed some of their bad karma, perhaps. For every relationship in the world demands some return.
- 3. O, please pardon the author, for she has forgot to tell you about the mini-vows each of them follows, at least pretends to follow. One of them is of non-stealing. To give an example: if any of them has to borrow someone’s pen, he cannot take it without the owner’s permission, no matter if the pen lies in his nearest vicinity or irrespective to how close is he to the owner of the pen?
- 4. So, once upon a recent time a group of laymen was accompanying a group of hermits. It was raining heavily and all were wet. Finally they reached the destination, which was a huge, lavish house of a rich man from another community.
- 5. While the saints were resting in a room, the followers were offered hot tea by the host. The host took them inside of his luxurious home. Their eyes were wide with an awe that gave way to a quest to explore those parts of the house, which were the host’s private.
- 6. They thanked the host for offering the tea in this time of need. As soon as the host left; all of them left too, for the house-exploring spree and to their magnificent surprise, just behind a hedge they found a large infinity pool, inviting them to take a plunge.
- 7. Breaking all barriers, they jumped into the pool with their clothes on. All six of them dived, jumped, swam, took photos, recorded videos, forgetting about their purpose to be there. Hope you are not thinking that they were kids!
- 8. Suddenly the rich man from another community saw them and got angry. But he prevented himself as he was practicing non-violence. Though all this while he could hear the following words behind his head – non- stealing… non-stealing… non-stealing…
