‘Yuj’ is a Sanskrit word which means ‘to bind, to join, to attach, to yoke; to direct and concentrate one’s attention on, to use and apply. It also means union or communion.’
In the yogic lore, Shiva is seen as the first yogi, and the first Guru. It is a root word of ‘Yoga’ and a discipline that aims to unite the mind, body and spirit. It has a lot of physical, spiritual and psychological benefits.
Seals and fossil remains of Indus Saraswati valley civilization with Yogic motives and figures performing Yoga Sadhana suggest the presence of Yoga in ancient India. Though Yoga was being practiced in the pre-Vedic period, the great Sage Maharshi Patanjali systematized and codified the then existing practices of Yoga, its meaning and its related knowledge through his Yoga Sutras: Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana, Samadhi. The Classical period can be mainly dedicated to two great religious teachers of India – Mahavir and Buddha. The concept of Five great vows – Pancha mahavrata- by Mahavir and Ashta Magga or eightfold path by Buddha - can be well considered as early nature of Yoga sadhana. According to modern scientists, everything in the universe is just a manifestation of the same quantum firmament.
Yoga works on the level of one’s body, mind, emotion and energy. This has given rise to four broad classifications of Yoga: karma yoga, where we utilize the body; bhakti yoga, where we utilize the emotions; gyana yoga, where we utilize the mind and intelect; and kriya yoga, where we utilize the energy.
Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life. The people with possibly stabled mind will enhance their mental and physical power to work in their profession more effectively.

This presentation maps out Gandhi's life story; singles out the life-markers that encouraged a constant process of reflection–action–reflection and framed his values; and proposes that stewardship, obligation, partnership, emotional healing, and elevating purpose characterized his servant leadership. Gandhi took on an empire with the ethics of truth-telling: his story is timeless in its courage and inspiration and lessons from his contributions to ethical behavior and strong influence on social responsibility are not wanting.
Many leaders came and gone but we remember only few, in those category the first person we remember is Mahatma Gandhi a great leader who against British in peaceful way and brought freedom.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

History
Date built: 17 June 1917
6. Sabarmati Ashram (Gujarati: also known as Gandhi Ashram, Harijan
Ashram, or Satyagraha Ashram) is located in the Ahmedabad suburb of Sabarmati adjoining to
famous Ashram Road, at the bank of River Sabarmati, 4 miles away from the city Town Hall.
This was one of the residences of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. This ashram is now a national
monument by the Government of India due to its significance in the Indian independence
movement in the form of the Dandi March in 1930.
History
The ashram was originally established at the Kocharab Bungalow of Jivanlal Desai on 25 May
1915. The Ashram was then shifted on 17 June 1917 to a piece of open land on the banks of the
river Sabarmati. Reasons for this shift included: Gandhi wanted to do some experiments in living
(e.g. farming, animal husbandry, cow breeding, khadi and related constructive activities for
which he was in search of this kind of barren land.) It was believed that this was ancient ashram
site of Dadhichi Rishi who had donated his bones for a righteous war;, but his actual ashram lies
in Naimisharanya, near lucknow , u.p, it is between a jail and a crematorium and he believed that
a satyagrahi has invariably to go to either place. Mahatama Gandhi said, "This is the right place
for our activities to carry on the search for truth and develop fearlessness, for on one side are the
iron bolts of the foreigners, and on the other the thunderbolts of Mother Nature."
While at the Ashram, Gandhi formed a tertiary school that mainly focused on manual labour,
agriculture, and literacy to advance his efforts for nation's self-sufficiency. It was also from here
on the 12 March 1930 that Gandhi marched towards Dandi,241 miles from the Ashram with 78
companions in protest of the British Salt Law, which taxed Indian salt in an effort to promote
sales of British salt in India. This mass awakening filled the British jails with 60 000 freedom
fighters. Later the government seized their property, Gandhi, in sympathy with them, responded
by asking the Government to forfeit the Ashram. Then Government, however, did not oblige. He
had by now already decided on 22 July 1933 to disband the Ashram, which later became asserted
place after the detention of many freedom fighters, and then some local citizens decided to
preserve it. On 12 March 1930 he vowed that he would not return to the Ashram until India won
independence. Although this was won on 15 August 1947, when India was declared a free
nation, Gandhi was assassinated in January 1948.

7. Present day
The ashram now has a museum, Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalay. In 1963 the museum building was
erected (designed by architect Charles Correa), and memorial activities were then started here.
One of the important activities undertaken is the establishment of a Gandhi Smarak
Sangrahalaya. Initially started in 'Hriday Kunj,' Gandhi's own cottage in the Ashram, the
Sangrahalaya has now shifted to its own well-designed and well-furnished building which was
inaugurated by Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India, on 10 May 1963.
Nandini: It is on the right hand side of 'Hridaya Kunj'. It is an old Ashram guest house, where
guests from India and abroad are put up.
Vinoba Kutir: Named after Acharya Vinoba Bhave who stayed here, and also known as Mira
Kutir after Miraben, Gandhiji's disciple, daughter of a British Admiral.
Upasana Mandir:It is an open -air prayer ground, situated between 'Hridaya Kunj' and 'Magan
Kutir' (the hut where Maganlal Gandhi, the ashram manager, used to stay).Here, Gandhiji used to
refer to individual questions after prayers and as the head of the family analysed and gave his
solutions.
