Book excerpt: This digital book presents a brief history of renewable energy work carried out since 1981 at Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute (NARI). Too often the record of research and development (R&D) is written up as articles in journals and books. The human interest story of the way the research was done, interactions with the stakeholders and the pushes and pulls in doing it are left out of the record. This book is an attempt to record these details. It also shows how R&D can be done in a small rural institute and should provide inspiration to other NGOs who want to do a similar type of work. The aim of the book is to inspire youngsters to enter the field of rural innovations and to provide challenging ideas for research and development to those who already are converts. Dr. Rajvanshi has written in an engaging style about the romance of doing research in rural setting and has shown that with meager resources and few members of staff, very meaningful and satisfying R&D work can be done. It is often said that good R&D requires lot of equipment, money and manpower. Work on renewable energy at NARI has shown that it is possible to do good work in little money and resources”, said Dr. Rajvanshi. There are six chapters in the book, out of which five describe the hardware development work carried out in household energy (cooking and lighting); gasification; electric cycle rickshaws and water-related problems among others. The last chapter deals with the philosophical issues and hence gives a roadmap for the future development of rural India. The book is a very interesting read as it emphasizes the human interest aspect of problem solving for rural India. The future research areas described at the end of each chapter will certainly be very useful for persons who are planning to develop a career in research and development for rural areas. The book is available free of cost and is available on NARI website http://www.nariphaltan.org/roi.pdf. This book has been written in the hope that it may inspire bright engineers to be engaged in rural R&D and thus making the book available free may help in this effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I present in this booklet a possible mechanism of neurobiological and physical basis of thought production and memory formation. And furthermore, a possible mechanism on how it is transmitted and its interaction with matter and gravity. I also speculate on the unexplored possibilities which might provide a detailed mathematical foundation of the nature of individual thought. The booklet is divided into four sections. The first section deals with the thought production. A very novel concept of thought as a hologram, based on biophotons production in the synaptic cleft, has been introduced and developed. The second section talks about the nature of memory; its production; its possible location in the brain and outside it; and possible mechanism of its removal. The third section talks about how thought can be transmitted from the brain and what laws could make it happen. Connected with this is the process of knowledge perception where the novel concept of quantum entanglement is used to describe it. And the last section is about how human thought could interact with matter and gravity. In the ultimate analysis this interaction with gravity may allow us eventually to get out of the gravity field. Some speculative ideas on how it may happen, based on the concept of deep thought as a soliton, are explored in this section. All the references to research articles are given as links in the text.

This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a booklet on the deep science embedded in Patanjali Yoga Sutras. According to me Patanjali was a true scientist who gave the first knowledge about the control of thought and mind and about universal laws governing time and space. Unfortunately till now none of the commentaries on Yoga Sutras have explored them through the lens of science. I feel this essay will help overcome that lacunae. Sage Patanjali has been my teacher. Whatever little I have written in the last 20 years on spirituality or thought about the interaction of mind-matter and higher things have been inspired by Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and I have always felt that his spirit has guided me in this journey. Yoga sutras is basically a book of life or how to maximize your living potential. It also teaches little bit of Hatha Yoga but the most important lesson it teaches in a scientific manner is how to make the mind (the instrument of comprehension) very powerful so that it can comprehend any secret of the Universe. And then use that powerful mind on different parts of body to get supernatural powers! Patanjali’s writings are like an infinite ocean. The more you read them the deeper is the knowledge. So this small booklet is a work in progress. I have been writing about the science in Yoga sutras for quite some time and have dealt them cursorily in my two books; Nature of Human Thought and Exploring the Mind of God. But this article is an attempt to explore it further and in depth. It is also surprising and fascinating that these sutras were written more than 2000 to 3000 years ago (the exact date is not known) and yet they present such scientifically advanced knowledge. One can only speculate that Sage Patanjali was not of this world but came from an advanced civilization to impart this knowledge. I have alluded to this aspect in this booklet. Exploring Deep Science in Patanjali Yoga Sutras. The booklet has the following sections: Who was Patanjali; About his Sutras or the book; Science of Sutras; Was Patanjali an extraterrestrial being; Patanjali and stars; Major Omissions in Sutras; and the final section is about my teacher Sage Patanjali. This is not a book in the true sense but a small booklet and my desire to publish it is to make it available to a wide audience for discussions and debate. I would therefore greatly appreciate it if the readers can comment on it either in Google book site or can send email to me. Anil K Rajvanshi Phaltan, Maharashtra, India June 2023. [email protected]

Book excerpt: This second edition of the book presents a unique scientific perspective on the nature of human thought, its production, transmission and interaction with matter. A conceptual framework is attempted to show how deep human thought, space, time, matter and Universal Consciousness are related. The nature of thought and mind control according to ancient Patanjali Yoga Darshan is explained in the light of modern brain research and cosmology. The book provides a beautiful blend of Indian philosophical thought and modern science. Dr. Rajvanshi brings into these essays a deep scientific insight on the nature of human mind and shows how the cultivation of deep thought can help us on the path of spirituality so that we can live a happy and sustainable life. The essays also explore the relationship between spirituality, science and technology and show that they go hand in hand and are necessary for a sustainable and emotionally satisfying world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an attempt to show how technology guided by spirituality can lead to happiness and in the process may lead to understanding Universal Consciousness or the Mind of God. Dr. Anil K. Rajvanshi had been writing on these issues for the last 15-20 years. He has published articles on this subject in Times of India (Speaking Tree), Huffington Post, Thrive Global and in many news lines as syndicated articles. He has now put together most of these articles in this book. The book is divided into three sections. The first section is on how to make the mind powerful so that inner peace results. A happy and contented mind then sees the world accordingly. The second section is on how to improve the environment through technology so it becomes livable and sustainable. No matter how contented the mind is, its power is enhanced many times if it encounters a pleasant, healthy, and sustainable environment. And the last section is about exploring space - the last frontier which he believes can help in joining the individual with the Universal Consciousness and understanding the mind of God. Dr. Rajvanshi believes that the Mantra of India’s and world development should be spirituality with high technology. In this belief he has been inspired by Patanjali’s Yoga Darshan where Sage Patanjali has shown that a Yogi by gaining supernatural powers to overcome the vagaries of nature can accelerate his path to liberation and achieving everlasting happiness.

The life of this pivotal Akwesasne Mohawk activist is explored in an important new biography based on extensive archival research and key interviews with activists and family members.

Book excerpt: This is the first descriptive analysis of how American Indian policies are made both at the statewide and at agency levels. Pertinent to all states, the study describes New Yorks historic policies and emphasizes that improving Indian lifestyles or attracting Indians to government employment is handicapped by their overall distrust of state intentions, a distrust caused by the continued impasse on American Indian land claims. Employing archival records never before used, as well as a plethora of interviews with state officials and American Indians over a fifteen-year period, Hauptman concludes that critical policy changes are needed to build lasting trust.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing from a vantage point that respects tribal specificities and Indigenous sovereignty, the essays in this volume consider the relational place-worlds crafted by the Native American authors Louise Erdrich, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, Gordon Henry Jr., Louis Owens, James Welch, Heid E. Erdrich, Ofelia Zepeda, and Simon J. Ortiz. Each is set in conversation with kindred writers and larger sociopolitical debates in the Americas, Africa, and Europe. The shared aim is to decolonize academic methodologies and disciplines across the Atlantic by tracing the creative, spiritual, and intellectual networks that Native writers have established with other communities at home and around the world. Key issues to arise include Native American/Indigenous theories and literary practices that center on relationality, the planetary turn, grounded normativity, trans-Indigeneity, transborder identities, movement, journeying, migration, multilingualism, genomic research, futurity, ecology, and justice.
