Nritya gram is India's first dance village, established in 1990 by odissi dancer Protima Gauri. It follows a vernacular architectural style designed by Gerard da Cunha. Vernacular architecture is locally-influenced and evolves over time based on the environmental, cultural, and historical context. An example is the temple at Nritya gram's entrance, built in 1998 from raw local mud and decorated with dance motifs. The buildings emphasize natural ventilation and make use of stone masonry, arches, and columns without mortar.
Raj Rewal designed the new Parliament Library in New Delhi to have its own identity while respecting the adjacent Parliament building. He drew inspiration from traditional Indian architecture like the Taj Mahal, using a symmetrical square plan with open courtyards. Key aspects of the design were sinking part of the library underground so as not to obstruct views of Parliament, and using the same local stone on the exterior as Parliament. The central glass dome above the reading room admits natural light without excess heat gain.

The water cycle document describes the natural circulation of water on Earth. It explains that water evaporates from soil, plants and bodies of water before condensing in the atmosphere and falling as precipitation. Some precipitation soaks into the soil to be used by plants and replenish groundwater, while excess runs off into streams, rivers and lakes eventually making its way to the sea. An effective water cycle is important to decrease floods and droughts and depends on maintaining soil cover and organic matter.

It divides society according to four varnas (brahmana, ksatriya, vaishya, sudra) and four ashramas (brahmacari, grhastha, vanaprastha, sannyasa). New Govardhana farm in Australia is implementing varnashrama principles through departments like the temple, goshala, school, eco-village, and guest houses. It generates income through various programs and aims to reduce mechanization. ISKCON Lithuania is also implementing varnashrama through farms like Govardhana, Gokul, and a brahmacari farm.

This document outlines the establishment of Varnasrama Research Teams (VRT) to support the global mission of implementing a varnasrama society. VRTs would bring together interested individuals as a team to research and develop knowledge and skills related to traditional occupations. These include areas like organic farming, cow protection, rural development, and village technologies. The teams would work to educate others on varnasrama dharma and support local farm projects through sharing their research findings, visiting experts, and acquiring resources to help materialize Srila Prabhupada's vision.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
Tales of This and Another Life - Chapters.pdfMashaL38

Irmão X provides a shrewd way of describing the subtleties and weaknesses that can jeopardize our intentions, making us more attentive and vigilant by providing us with his wise pages, reminding us between the lines of the Master's words: "Pray and watch."

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.

Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
