Jivo Jivasya Jeevanam: Unfolding the Transformative Power of Life

  Jivo Jivasya Jeevanam : Unfolding the Transformative Power of Life If you are in the Delhi or Agra area during the winter months, the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is a magical place to visit. A few years ago, I spent a day exploring this stunning sanctuary in North India, renowned for being a haven for birds. Over 350 species flock to Bharatpur during the winter, making it a paradise for bird enthusiasts. The sanctuary is not just about birds; it also features a small museum filled with fascinating exhibits. Inside, you will find detailed information: diversity, anatomy, physiology, migration patterns, etc about the sanctuary’s feathered residents. However, one section of the museum particularly caught my attention. It showcased photographs from the British colonial era, revealing a darker chapter in history: hunting for tiger and bird trophies.

Project-Based Learning (PBL): Learning in Action! : 3

  Project-Based Learning (PBL): Learning in Action! : 3 For many days, my WhatsApp profile statement has been: 'The art of teaching is the art of assisting Discovery,' by Mark Van Doren.  As a guide teacher for project-based learning (PBL), it serves as the perfect tagline. It reminds me that my role is to guide students in their journey of exploration and investigation, enabling learners to brainstorm project ideas/questions, develop skills required for exploration and investigation, work out the methodology required for discovery, and help present the discovered knowledge. When identifying topics for project work, students come up with ideas based on their observations of their surroundings, society, and day-to-day life events. Project-based learning encourages students to actively explore and investigate real-world problems or challenges, fostering a sense of curiosity and self-discovery. Apart from the above-mentioned methodological aspects of projects, the guiding tea...

सत्यं च स्वाध्यायप्रवचने च।

  सत्यं च स्वाध्यायप्रवचने च। प्रकृति के सानिध्य में रहकर उसके साथ एकत्व का अनुभव करना , स्वाध्याय का प्रथम सूत्र है , जो हमें ब्रह्मांड के निर्माण और उसके रहस्यों को जानने की प्रेरणा देता है। जड़-चेतन धारणाओं से जुड़ी मूलकण , वंशसूत्र , गुणसूत्र जैसी सूक्ष्मतम चीज़ों के अध्ययन से लेकर ब्रह्मांड के विस्तार के अध्ययन तक का व्यापक आयाम हमें प्रकृति के गहनतम रहस्यों में प्रवेश करने का मार्ग प्रदान करता हैं। ब्रह्मांड के विशाल विस्तार और उसकी अनंतता को समझने का प्रयास करने के लिए पहला उपनिषदिक अध्ययन सूत्र है "ऋतं च स्वाध्याय प्रवचने च।" ऋतम् का अध्ययन ब्रह्मांड के नियमों और संरचनात्मक सिद्धांतों को समझने की कुंजी है। ऋतम् का अध्ययन   केवल दार्शनिक धारणा नहीं है , बल्कि यह ब्रह्मांड की रचना और उसके संचालन में निहित नियमों को   वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोणद्वारा गहराई से समझना है। यह हमें   सिखाता है कि ब्रह्मांड किस प्रकार संतुलित और सुव्यवस्थित रूप से कार्य करता है। ऋतम् का स्वाध्याय करते समय हम अपने परिवेश को गहराई से समझने लगते हैं। प्रकृति के रहस्यों की खोज और उन...
