Invictus

 

Invictus by William Ernest Henley. The story behind the poem is also impressive: Henley contracted tuberculosis of the bone when he was 13. At age 17, physicians had to amputate one of his legs.

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may…

Ten Commandments for Students from Taittiriya Upanishad – Part 8

Dear All,

 

Sixth of the Ten Commandments:

 

6)   Swadhyaya Pravachandaabhyam na pramaditavyam - ( Hold on to self study and teaching)

Relevance of Gandhian Thought on Youth and Women in Current Perspective

As a great humanist Mahatma Gandhi put forth before the world from-to-time his views on almost all subjects related to life. He discussed at length all walks of life –importance, impact and related problems thereof in particular. How was it then possible that he could remain indifferent to the role, significance and contribution of youth and women to the society, nation and humanity as a whole?

Significance of Gandhian Viewpoint of Value Education in the Twenty-First Century

 “The ancient aphorism, ‘Education is that which liberates’ is as true today as it was before. Education here does not mean mere spiritual knowledge, nor does liberation signify only spiritual liberation after death. Knowledge includes all training that is useful for the service of mankind and liberation means freedom from all manners of servitude even in the present life. Servitude is of two kinds: slavery to domination from outside and one’s own artificial needs. The knowledge…

Ten Commandments for Students from Taittiriya Upanishad – Part 6

Dear All,

 

Forth of the Ten Commandments:



4. Acquire Wealth legitimately :( bhootyei na Pramaditavyam):

 

 Upanishads did not preach poverty. They spoke of a healthy and prosperous life. The ideal of renunciation is not the ideal of poverty and agony but learning to help others with whatever we acquire.

 

The Upanishadic was a prosperous society. It was not a consumerist’s society but it was full of wealth and meet one’s needs.…
