भारतीय जीवन दृष्टि प्रो. बृज किशोर कुठियाला का जीवन और दर्शन उनके लेखों में व्यापक रूप से दृश्यमान है, जो भारतीय संस्कृति का प्रतिमान है। जीवन पंचतत्त्व से उत्पन्न और पंचतत्त्व में समा जाने की यात्रा का वृत्तांत है। तत्त्वों के पारस्परिक उपयुक्त साहचर्य ही संतुलन कारक हैं। आत्मा और परमात्मा का संबंध देह से देहावसान तक और फिर मुक्ति की बैकुंठी भारतीय पुराणों में पढ़ने को मिलती है। जीवन एक सतत प्रवाह है, हमारे बाद भी चलेगा। ‘ब्रह्मसत्यम जगद् मिथ्या’ या ‘अहम् ब्रह्मास्मि तत्त्वमसि’ सूत्र वाक्य बहुत कुछ कह जाते हैं। संवाद जोड़ने का काम करता है, विवाद तोड़ने का। भारतीय संस्कृति समग्रता की दृष्टि से अस्तित्व में है। प्रो. कुठियाला के लेख वेदांत दर्शन अथवा एकात्म मानवदर्शन की भावना को व्यक्त करते हैं। भारतीय चिंतन में देवऋण, ऋषिऋण और पितृऋण से मुक्ति की बातें हैं। व्यक्ति पर समाज का ऋण भी है। मनुष्य राष्ट्रकल्याण, समाज-कल्याण, और लोक-कल्याण से इस ऋण से मुक्त हो सकता है। इसके लिए आवश्यक है हम लोक के साथ संवाद बनाए रखें। वादे वादे जायते तत्त्व बोधः। बात करते रहने से तत्त्व मिलता है। नारद और ब्रह्माजी, शौनकादि ऋषि और सूतजी, कृष्ण और अर्जुन, काकभुशुण्डि और गरुड़जी, आचार्य मंडन मिश्र और आदि-शंकराचार्य से जो ज्ञान मिला वह केवल मानव कल्याण के लिए नहीं है, बल्कि समस्त ब्रह्मांड के लिए है। प्रो. कुठियाला के लेखों में यह मंतव्य पढ़ने के बाद एहसास होगा। सभी लेख चिंतन, मनन और ज्ञानवर्धन के लिए उपयोगी हैं। —पार्थसारथि थपलियाल

वर्तमान में भारतीय संस्कृति, सभ्यता एवं दर्शन की उपयोगिता को समस्त संसार स्वीकार कर रहा है और भारतीय मनीषा को आधुनिक संदर्भों में सरलता से प्रस्तुत करने का महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्य विद्वानों से अपेक्षित है। संचार विज्ञान एवं मीडिया के संदर्भ में भारतीय सोच एवं दृष्टि पर गिने-चुने विद्वानों ने ही लिखा है। संचारविज्ञानी प्रो. बृज किशोर कुठियाला किसी भी समाज में संचार को आधारभूत एवं सहज गतिविधि मानते हैं और वे समाज-केंद्रित व समाज हितैषी मीडिया के पक्षधर हैं। उनके लेख भारतीय पौराणिक ग्रंथों का संदर्भ लेकर आधुनिक संचार माध्यमों को न केवल नई दृष्टि प्रदान करते हैं बल्कि मीडिया और समाज के बीच के संबंधों को नए संदर्भों में पुनर्भाषित करते हैं। मीडिया के लिए नूतन आदर्शों की रूपरेखा तैयार करते हुए ये लेख मानव उत्थान एवं सनातन सरोकारों की बात करते हैं। पुस्तक में रामायण, महाभारत, भगवद्गीता, उपनिषद, पुराण, स्मृतियों एवं लोक जीवन के विभिन्न चरित्रों, श्लोकों, घटनाओं इत्यादि की आधुनिक संदर्भों में सरल व्याख्या की गई है। विस्तृत साक्षात्कार समकालीन विषयों पर उनके प्रेरक विचारों को जानने का अवसर प्रदान करता है। इस संग्रह के सारगर्भित लेख मीडिया शोधकर्ताओं, विद्यार्थियों एवं उन सभी पाठकों के लिये उपयोगी व रोचक साबित होंगे जिनकी भारतीय सोच में रुचि है। —प्रो. देवव्रत सिंह

he reader is surprised by the narrative's fracture of Kannada literary history, as it deliberately departs from the established taxonomy based on creed, caste, and esoteric affiliations. It is the only Kannada anthology of the middle period spanning over 9 centuries from the 11th to the 19th. There are translated selections refreshingly present, and the entire tradition of creative endeavours from the most fruitful and exciting period of condylar literature is presented in 4 formalistic sections. The texts, both popular and lesser-known literary compositions, successfully gathered in one place, offer insight into a significant shift in style, form, and theme. Its page is being written with a mnemonic episode from Devadatta and the end of the popular force key, Sangya Balya

Do you remember “Kakori train loot” by Ten heroes ? It happened on 9th August, 1925. A real life drama by India’s martyrs around which this fiction is written. India’s Non Co-operation Movement against the British Government was started with a promise to free India within a year. When it was withdrawn abruptly in 1922, thousands of young freedom fighters were disillusioned. This deceit saw birth of a large number of revolutionaries fighting with all their might single-handedly against the ruling British in India. On this day, a team of ten young boys looted treasury of the Indian Railways near Kakori Railway Station, next to Lucknow. An event in the Golden history of India’s freedom fights and is a fictional story woven around it. This book brings alive those shining moments of gallantry by young, brave martyrs, who till today remain unknown to us. A nail biting portrayal of mental agony, dilemma and _ survival issues from the lives of heroes of our country and their families is a tribute to the Kakori boys

Through this book, I am handing over the articles which I had written from time to time on the issues related to the Constitution, Indian Culture, and the nation to the readers out there. The Constitution of the country that was written after the independence of the country has the echo of this very culture of the nation. The Indian Constitution is based on the values of equality and liberty to all irrespective of caste, religion, class, etc. This is our culture. The Constitution, the culture, and nation are actually intertwined. I believe that the nation becomes stronger only when its people are committed to following the values associated with the Constitution and culture. Even though we got freedom from the British in 1947, the real freedom of the country means writing our own destiny. It is also important to uphold freedom. Upholding freedom means committing to fulfilling one’s duties towards its nation and enjoying the rights written in our Constitution. I like to call the ‘Indian Constitution’ a ‘global document of human rights’. The reason being the perfect blend of rights and duties consisting the lofty values allied with life on which the development of humanity is founded.

Wanderlust and the desire to know the land and society more had been fueling my wish to visit Kailas. There were many curiosities. All our major rivers have their source in the region. The largest reservoir of fresh water on earth is situated there. The celestial swans are found there. I recall that how in my childhood, my Grandmother used to describe Kailas as being akin to a dreamland. According to her, Shri Krishna has said in the Gita – Meruru shikhirinamaham – ‘Among mountains I am Kailas!’ It was Sage Mandhata who first set foot on this sacred soil. Adi Shankaracharya shed his mortal body here. Guru Nanak meditated here and Swaminarayana, the founder of the sect that bears his name, saw the vision of god here. The Ramayana and the Mahabharata mention Kailas. This is where Ravana had worshipped Lord Shiva. He wanted to take Kailas with him. Shiva guilefully dissuaded him from doing so. Arjuna performed penance here and received the Pashupata Astra from Shiva. Yudhishthir proceeded heavenwards via this route. One by one, all the family members fell by the roadside; only the faithful dog kept company. Bhasmasur, the Rakshas, a devotee of Shiva was reduced to cinders here. Today the dark shadow of civilisation has begun to fall even on Mansarovar. This lake is shrinking. The sacred water body, that once stretched across 410 square kilometres, is now shrunk to only 10 square kilometres. Consider this the rage of Nature. Had Kalidasa been alive, he would have been deeply saddened to see his beloved Himalaya in this state. Is it the same Himalaya that is described in Raghuvamsham and Kumar Sambhavam? Civilisation has reached a point where the divine dimensions of Himalaya are disturbed.

Education is the foundation of the development of any country. But in our country, the First Education Policy was framed in 1968, 21 years after independence; the second policy was formulated in 1986; 34 years later, India got the National Educational Policy-2020 on 25th July, 2020. Besides these, certain commissions were also constituted for reforms in education, which made some good recommendations, but these could not be implemented for sheer want of political will. For an instance, the Kothari Commission in 1968, recommended 6 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for expenditure on education, which was also adopted by the Education Policy-1986, but this is yet to be translated into practice. If we ignore pre-colonial period, the Bharat of post-independence has not yet been able to determine the aim of education. Character building and moulding a human i.e. holistic development of personality should be the aim of education. Essays on related subjects are included in this book. To identify the issues and problems that plague the education, and their solution, we carried out basic but innovative experiments in schools, colleges and universities. The original experiences of these exercises have been penned down as articles and research papers. This book is an anthology of the related writings.

This book is an attempt to present, in a consolidated form of research articles that can provide a common platform for communication and discussion about healthcare and service providers, functionaries, scholars and social workers involved with child health and nutrition.

A tangled love on the battlefield of sinners… Maya: I’ve arrived in Delhi to meet my husband’s family after six months of our wedding. But what should have been a celebration turns catastrophic and people begin to die. Has it got anything to do with my secret? Shaaman: I love my wife, Maya, and God knows I have tried to be what she likes. But as I step into this house, my maternal grandfather’s house, I can feel the demon in me waking. I need help. But…what if it’s too late? Aahil: Maya. She always called me a mystery. And so I am. The mystery that started it all. The mystery that will end it all. Sparing none, not even her. Witness the most gruesome game of love, greed, revenge, power, betrayal, and hate in a tale full of sinners, a tale where love was sinful.

The scope of psychology is beyond the clinic. It is in everything that we do and we don't do. The articles are just a different perspective of looking at everyday happenings and how they relate to how we deal with life.? Life doesn't come with an instruction manual. Often we shy away from talking about mental health or we confuse mental health with mental illness. These articles talk about simple day matters which have an impact on us. These are topics which we all face but don't realise that they have had an impact on us. It is a simpler way to look at things that bother us.
