Asceticism – Transformation of Human Consciousness: In the context of Mahavir Swami

Dr. Arvind Vedwan — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Mahavir Swami has presented a scientific approach to penance. According to him, penance is a process of transformation of human life energy. The circle of energy, the aura that surrounds this body, inside and outside our body, is our real body; And that is also our asceticism. When a person dies, the aura of his body begins to weaken. Regarding penance, Mahavira says: Sachāmmī vasādi tavo, sācchammi sanjmo tahā vāse tesa vi gunā. That is, truth is asceticism, restraint, and in truth resides all virtues. Truth means to live such a life that there is no deprivation in life; Live in such a way that there is harmony between outside and within. He who has realized the truth, understand that all is done; Then there is no need to do anything separately. Violence, lies, anger and competition all disappear in his life. Mahavira has called being true as penance. Mahavira has presented penance in two forms – one is 'inner penance' and the other is 'outer penance'. He has presented inner asceticism and outer asceticism in six forms respectively. Which is as follows- external asceticism - (1) fasting (2) unodari (3) vritti-brief (4) abandonment of rasa (5) physique-affliction (6) complicity. Antar Tapa - (1) Atonement (2) Vinaya (3) Vaiyavrtya (4) Self-study (5) Meditation (6) Kayotsarga. Mahavira emphasizes that a state should arise within the person, where the person starts seeing his faults rather than others. The moment a person starts seeing his faults, humility appears in the heart of the person. This is possible only through penance. But in this modern age, man has become so insensitive while living with material things that he has broken the connection with his supersensuous powers. He is not aware of his body, his senses. In this age of science, the meditation of Mahavira is absolutely necessary. Because through penance any person can make his life simple and easy. It is only through penance that transformation of one's consciousness is possible.

Dr. Ravi Prakash Yadav — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

For the development of any country, it is necessary that necessary steps should be taken for the development of rural areas, so that when the rural areas develop, the development of the country will also start in itself, because most of the population of our country lives in villages. Youth have an active role in giving a new direction to any nation or country. It is often seen that youth education skills are moving towards technological development, but somewhere the conditions of disorientation still exist and it is visible as a major problem. There is also a need to give a new direction towards skill development and all-round development of youth to connect them with new education and technology. The development of any country and any nation is possible only when the youth of that country are guided towards skill knowledge science. Today, there is a need to encourage the youth for skill development and self-employment in different areas of the country, only then the definition of this modern development can be fulfilled and the youth will have an important role in the development of the country, village and city. Through this research paper, the researcher has done an analytical study of the participation of youth in rural development and tried to know whether the role of youth in the development of the country and the nation is or not.

Prenuptial Agreement with ADR Clauses: Addressing Power Imbalances and Conflicts Between Couples

Mahima Singh, Dr. Pankaj Tyagi — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Marriage is a sacred institution that needs significant sacrifice and dedication from both parties. Marriage is no different from any other type of civil partnership as in this, arguments and disputes inevitably arise, as in any other relationship or bond. Engaging ADR methods like Mediation and Conciliation, in a Prenuptial Agreement can be one strategy to prevent potentially unpleasant legal disputes, post-marriage, which shall be discussed later in chapter. The article supports the inclusion of these tried-and-tested ADR techniques in premarital agreements to be included as clauses, so that the division of assets and liabilities, and other disputable issues can be faced amicably, and resolved legitimately amongst a couple. It may also have potential to envision and resolve if an unforeseen event—such as a marital breakdown—could occur in the future. This article will discuss two important practical aspects. Firstly, ADR Techniques shall be employed to resolve a marital dispute. Secondly incorporating these ADR Techniques, as clauses, in an Agreement planned, accepted and executed by couple before they enter into marital bonding. The main theme of paper, hence is, that any disputes that can develop throughout the marriage or in the future, if has a bare possibility to be anticipated earlier, shall be settled by the parties before (through Prenuptial Agreement), by devising forehand ways (like ADR techniques) to tackle them in future. This article will examine the usage of ADR as a productive method of resolving marital conflicts and the inclusion of ADR procedures in prenuptial agreements. Both the parties to a prenuptial agreement can create a framework for resolving disputes quickly and affordably by incorporating provisions requiring the parties to submit to ADR. The approach outlined in this article involves the parties to engage in mutual consultation to select an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) method and agency. This individual possesses the ability to fulfill the roles of an arbitrator, conciliator, or mediator, which were previously held by the “Bicholia”. We acknowledge the significance of their position by explicitly designating their appointment in the prenuptial agreement. This step ensures that disputes can be resolved in a friendly and expeditious manner, without the need for prolonged legal proceedings, while also promoting the various ADR techniques.

Who is a libertarian and why do we need a libertarian party in India?

Anurag Dhaka — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

There are a number of different ways to look at the social, political and economic climate prevailing at any point of time, some of the major ones would be Communism, Socialism, Liberalism, Welfarism and so on. These ideologies act as prisms through which a person would look at the world, the world as it is and the world as it should be. They are all encompassing ideologies, which means that they are not limited any particular sphere of life but cover the full spectrum. Libertarianism is another such prism to look at the world centred around the core value of freedom maximizing. The following paper attempts to describe the core tenets of libertarianism, or put another way, it aspires to chalk out who a libertarian is and at the same time make a case as to why we are in a dire need of libertarian party in a deeply socialist country.

Mahakavi Kalidas Ki Rachnao me Varnit Prakrati-chitran

Dr. Saroj Kumari — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Kalidasa is one of the best poets and dramatists of Sanskrit literature. He has been considered as one of the Navaratnas of the assembly of King Vikramaditya, of which Kalidasa was the chief one. Kalidasa, who had a deep devotion to Indian culture, considered happiness as the philosophy of life and composed poetry as its means. He has extended this joy in his epics and metaphors. In a composition called Ritusanhara, he has described six seasons which have an effect on lovers. In each of the six cantos, one season is described. All the seasons have been described in this volume in a simple and natural poem, in which summer, rain, autumn, hemant, shishir and spring seasons have been kept respectively. The composition Meghdoot is the best poem in the lyrics. In this too, the depiction of Ramgiri Mountain and Alkapuri Marg is amazing. Here Megh has been made the messenger of the Yaksha by Kalidasa. In Kumarasambhava, he has presented a description of the Himalayas in the first canta, a unique nature depiction of the arrival of spring in the third canto. In the Raghuvamsa, he has called the Nandini cow between King Dilipa and Queen Sudakshina in the second canto as day (Dilip), night (Sudakshina) and evening redness (Nandini) respectively. Abhijnanashakuntalam in Sanskrit literature is the Shiromani gem in plays. Kalidas has a special place not only in Indian literature but in the whole world literature. Because of which he is called Mahakavi and Kavikulguru. In the play Abhijnanashakuntalam, Kalidasa has beautifully expressed love for nature. This play is a unique publisher of the values of Indian culture. Therefore, his love for nature is clearly expressed in the compositions of Kalidasa.
