Heartfulness Magazine - June 2019 (Volume 4, Issue 6)heartfulness
In June we celebrate the power of prayer as a way of opening the heart to infinite possibilities and higher dimensions. Prayer can be the most evolutionary and revolutionary tool, and it connects us to the source of universal wisdom. We discover visual prayer through the doodles of Sybil MacBeth, and we also hear from Donna Cameron and Dr Ichak Adizes on gratitude. Robert Chilton is interviewed on preserving the ancient literature of Buddhism and Daaji continues his series of Yogic Psychology by exploring the mental afflictions known as Kleshas and how to be free of them.
Because being a mom is difficult and devastating and the most beautiful thing you’ll ever do and your heart will get ripped out happy and whole. Over. And. Over.
So I've written a month of prayers for you, friend (and for me). You can clutch one close day-in-day-out every day of every month.
Shall we do this thing? Start the revolution? Change the world?

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
