Dear Friends,
Namaskaram!
Adi Shankara, also known as Adi Shankaracharya, was a great Vedic scholar and teacher (acharya) who lived in the eighth century CE. In his writings, he synthesised the Advaita Vedanta teachings of his time and offered a harmonising reading of the Shastras with liberating knowledge of the self at its core. In this issue, we have given some of his quotable quotes..
On the front page, we have given a beautiful Tao concept – Letting Good Things Happen -which shows how non-action is the greatest action sometimes.
In happenings section, we have covered (i) Field visit of “Harit Aarogya”, Harit Aajeevika and Harit Urja projects (ii) Hands on training – “Therapeutic Varma Stimulation techniques and Varmam Massage Therapy” (iii) Workshop on “Traditional Siddha Varma Bone Setting Practices” (iv) Revival and Renovation of Traditional Water bodies etc.
In the wisdom section, William Andrews McDonough, an American architect and academic describes the “Green Design” which is in tune with the nature. Shri. N. Krishnamoorti, senior worker of Vivekananda Kendra narrates the disastrous effects of Cartesian split in Science and Technology, and finally Dr. M. Lakshmi Kumari, Director, Vivekananda Kendra, Vedic Vision Foundation narrates how nthe so-called ‘progress’ is in reality a Retrogression.For reading the newsletter, please click here
