Youth is a great period in our life when we are full

of energy and ideas and a time when we are ready to

learn new concepts and reject that we think would

do us personally no good. At this age we tend to

nd role models and follow their ideals. When we

look for our icons, keep in mind that it was Tyaga

and Seva of many strong willed individuals that

delivered this nation to us.

When Seva Darshan deliberated on an idea to

start Yuva Darshan classes, our main focus was

get our youngsters in Kuwait to change their focus

from being merely studying machines engrossed indeveloping skills to secure a future, to youngsters

with a strong sense of love and respect for their

nation.

To face the dangers and challenges of our times

for our Nation, it is essential we mould our personal

and National character with a clear vision. India is

going through a phase on national reconstruction

where the Youth of today play an important role. In

fact they need to play a very important pro active

role as it is the future of our nation that is being

groomed.

A lack of clarity exists in our political and

administrative powers actions and decisions. Rather

than the development of the society on the whole,

our efforts seem to be more towards attaining

materialistic success ensuring a mad craving for

individual proteering alone be it monetary or

ethical. There are no creative reform actions being

taken to shape the future of the nation. The very

economist who changed the way India worked asan economy can seem to perform when he leads the

nation due to constant political interference and lack

of vision.

Developing a nation of Youth with enough

energy, physically and mentally, is the answer to

this dilemma. The youth of today need to be taught

to perform with utmost devotion to the national

society and our nation. This alone will ensure future

administrators who will work with passion and helpkeep our nation intact in every sense.

No doubt we may surpass out past, but only by

thinking through them to new conclusion rather

ignoring and starting fresh. Our history, culture and

heritage is full of directions for our nation. It is only

a matter of studying them and implementing them in

our daily life. We need to learn from the ideals like

Chatrapaji Shivaji in this auspicious month of Guru

Dakshina. When consumerism makes our youthaspire for modern day entertainment comforts,

Shivaji as a young boy was ghting the invaders

of his nation. At the age of 16 he became a King

who went on to lay the foundations of the mighty

Maratha Empire that fought against the Moghuls.

When we debate about religion, language, caste

and other things that make us different, the young

Lion in Shivaji was going about uniting his people

to ght against the injustice in his motherland. Here

is where we take inspiration and worship our Guruswho have made us and our nation what we are today.

Lets unite to make their dreams come true.

Varaha Avatar is the third incarnation of Lord

Vishnu. Lord took this form to save mother Earth

from the demon Hiranyaksha. The story of Varaha

Avatar is as follows:

Lord Brahmas four sons Sanaka, Sananda, Sana-

tana and SanatKumara were great devotees of Lord

Vishnu. Once they went to Vaikunta to visit Maha

Vishnu. As they reached the entrance of Vaikuntha,

they were informed by the door guards Jaya and Vi-

jaya that Maha Vishnu was asleep and they could

not meet him. They were annoyed by Jaya and Vi-

jayas reply and cursed them in anger. By their curse,

Jaya and Vijaya would transform into demons. They

were afraid and sad pleaded the saints to take back or

modify the curse. Since it could not be taken back,

they told Jaya and Vijaya that only Maha Vishnu

can change the curse.

Lord Vishnu gave Jaya and Vijaya two options.One was, they could take hundred births as normal

human beings and return to Vaikuntha. The other

was they could take three births as enemies of Gods

and meet their deaths in HIS hands and attain mok-

sha and return to Vaikuntha. Jaya and Vijaya opted

for the second option so that they could return to

Vaikuntha soon. The three births they took were Hi-

ranyaksha and Hiranyakashyapu during Varaha and

Narasimha Avatars, Ravana and Kumbhakarna dur-

ing Rama Avatar and Sishupala and DantaVaktra

during Krishna Avatar.Lord Brahma created the rst human Kashyapa.

He was a great sage and had four wives by the names

Diti, Aditi, Vinita, and Kudroo. Diti gave birth to

Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashyapu. They both per-

formed innumerous religious acts and austerities

and became very powerful and later conquered the

Devas. Hiranyaksha had obtained a boon from Lord

Brahma that he cannot be killed by god, demon, hu-

man or a beast.

Once Hiranyaksha attacked devatas. He askedVaruna, the God of Ocean to ght with him. Var-

una, backed away saying he was too old to ght and

asked Hiranyaksha to ght with Lord Vishnu. Hi-

ranyaksha went out in search of Maha Vishnu but

Varaha Avatarof Lord Vishnu

could not nd HIM. In frustration he snatched Earth

and dragged it to the bottom of the cosmic Ocean.

The worried Devas ran to Lord Vishnu for help.

Lord Vishnu remembered that Lord Brahma had

forgotten to give Hiranyaksha immortality against

Varaha. Varaha, the third incarnation of Lord Vishnuis a two tusked wild boar. Lord transformed Him-

self into Varaha and dived into the ocean to bring

back Boomidevi. Seeing Hiranyaksha in the cosmic

ocean, Varaha challenged him and it is believed that

the ght between them lasted for a thousand years.

Finally Varaha won over Hiranyaksha. Varaha then

carried Earth on His tusks and restored it back in the

Universe. Later in this avatar, Lord Vishnu married

Boomi Devi. Thus Lord Visnu saved Mother Earth

from the hands of the deadly demon. Once again

Lord transformed Himself to win over the devil and

thereby restore peace and dharma in the universe.

Thereby Hiranyaksha attained salvation in the hands

of the God Himself.

BharathDharshan

Chakravyuha formation was used by Dronacharya

to kill Abhimanyu. The word Chakravyuha is made up

of Chakra meaning circle or ring and Vyuha meaning

formation.

Chakravyuh is a formation consisting of 7 concen-

tric circles of warriors rotating in unison. The forma-

tion is in the shape of a 7 layered rotating spiral.

The Chakravyuha was specially difcult to pen-

etrate since the attacker is not able to focus on a still

target in front as the targets keep changing with the

rotation of the Chakras. Even if an attacker can pen-

etrate one ring and get inside the Chakravyuha, the

rotating nature of the vyuha makes sure that the ring

he has penetrated closes behind him. As a result, the

attacker is trapped within the Chakravyuha.

It is well known that Abhimanyu learnt the meth-

od to enter the Chakravyuha while he was inside his

mother's womb.

The rotating Chakravyuha consisted of warriors

of various caliber. The Other Pandavas were not able

to breach it because of 2 reasons. 1. They attacked

the stronger warriors in the ring and were repelled. 2.

As soon as they started to get an upper hand on one

warrior, the ring rotated and another Kaurava warrior

confronted them.

Abhimanyu overcame this by attacking the war-

riors to the left and right of him, and not the ones di-

Chakravyuha

rectly in front. [2] . As the ring rotated, the gap he hadcreated to his left or right came in front of him and he

penetrated with Chakravyuha.

As he broke through each ring, Abhimanyu defeated

one great Kaurava warrior after another. He trounced

Jayadratha, Dronacharya, Karna and Aswathama in

the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th rings respectively[5]. It was

after he had penetrated 6 rings did all Kaurava war-

riors join hands to attack him in unison, that resulted

in his demise.



India is a large country with a population of more

than 65 crores. And almost 50% of this falls with

the age group of 15 to 35 years.

The Youth of today is Indias wealth. They form a

large source of energy of our nation. History bears

testimony to the fact that the youth have always

been the back bone of various national movements

across the world. Likewise the youth power of In-dia forms the foundation of our national reconstruc-

tion programmes. Even famous revolutions like the

Chinese revolution and the French revolution were

brought about by the youths of the country. When

we mention youth, its just not students. The youth

power comes in many forms like young entrepre-

neurs, farmers and so on.

Right from the independence struggle we have

seen that it was the massive youth power that was

able to bring the British to their knees with a very

pro active combination of Gandhijis Non violencemovements and the aggressiveness of the rebellious

youth movements.

There is little doubt that given the right guidance

and statesmen with nationalistic outlook, the young-

sters of our country and change the society as it is

today. They can eliminate the evils in the present

and correct the aws in the system. They can build

the nation based on the highly cherished moral and

cultural values of our nation.

The role of the youth begin from educating the

rural masses and persuading them to shun age old

superstitions , traditions and practices that are now

not t to survive in our emerging world. This will

ensure that the exploitation by landlords and caste

leaders will come to end. No change can be brought

about in one day by the barrel of a gun or laws that

failed the test of time. The villages of India where

our nations soul lies need to be uplifted with ba-

sic amenities and education. National reconstruc-

tion also involves an effective check to corruption.

But this requires a lot of patience and practice. Avery strong mind and the strength of a hundred men

would be right attitude for each patriot to make

this change in our nation. In the last 10 years and

Moulding Menwith capital M

more our nation has seen an economic boom which

has surely beneted lots of people, especially the

middle class. But how much of this have been able

to utilize towards the building of our infrastructure.

The youth must play an active role in the success-

ful implementation of various government schemes

made for the development of the poor in our coun-

try. They need to pool ideas on better we can help

our society to change. Organizations like the NCC,

Nehru Yuva Kendra have played a great role in or-

ganizing the youth. Even student organizations like

the ABVP and the KSU have also gven their contri-

butions. Youth can also play a major role in the poli-

tics of our country. Today we have young leaders

emerging from the political parties who have been

able to bring a different outlook in the policy mak-ing out nation. But much more needs to be done.

Unfortunately they seem to break down with family

and political pressure.

The youth who are frustrated in with the lack of

opportunities and enthusiasm nd solace in simply

imitating a western culture that is often not even

suitable for our nation that is found on the founda-

tion of a civilization that has evolved over many

centuries. They seem to have developed a defeat-

ist attitude when it comes to matters of the nation

and steps taken that will dene their destiny. Manycauses like the disintegration of the family system,

social injustices, and corruption seem to be adding

fuel to the re. To a certain extent, even harsh rigid-

ness of the society to accept change has also been a

factor to consider. But it is the duty of the elders and

the generation now to make sure the youth doesntlose hope and they develop the patience required to

survive the evolving new order. There is lot of chal-

lenges to be faced and only a strong youth power

can help make the change and easy process. Recent

ghts against dictators and corrupted ofcials around

the world have showed the power the youth have.

It is the duty of the administrators to see that the

energy of the youth is not wasted away. They need

to be given ample opportunities to harness their spir-

it and become successful in what they are good at.

Thee need of the day is to give the youngsters aproper direction towards nation building. They must

be ready to spend at least an hour a day towards the

cause of the nation. Daily practice and meditation

towards a goal will help them direct their energies

towards any cause. The trick lies in showing them

the way. The administrators must be able to open

up avenues for the youngsters to work along with

them in socially relevant causes. For any person to

give his time, mind and energy for any reason, be it

a job or voluntary work, he needs to have an incen-tive. If the incentive itself is imbedded in our youth

as service for the development of his nation, India

will witness wonders beyond imagination. A nation

working together for the betterment of their society

and nation should be the ultimate aim of any evolv-

ing civilization. And to harness this energy, we need

to have discipline in our life. A group of youngsters

working meticulously together to achieve a particu-

lar aim will have a greater success than a loose group

of individuals trying to achieve the same in different

ways.Our education system is the platform on which

we launch the youngsters into our society. Unfortu-

nately its merely an informative process rather than

a formative one. The main aim seems to be simply

to be able to gain the knowledge enough to attain a

certain supercial standard of living that seems to

be changing day to day. The system simply aims at

satisfying material gains rather than development

of the mental or intellectual capabilities of becom-

ing a good human. This results in the youth of today

spending their energy and capabilities in trying to

achieve their desire in whatever possible ways they

can. In the process they become independent indi-

viduals with no social or moral attachments.

Our youth must be taught the basics of living the

right way in accordance with the heritage and cul-

ture of our nation. Our history has taught us that thegreater achievers of our nation from Swamis to sci-

entist have achieved world renowned fame by living

by the ways principles of Dharma. Then they need

to be given an inspiring Ideal that helps them focus

their thoughts to achieve a common goal. They must

be provided the tool and amenities to achieve this

goal. The atmosphere of the learning centre must be

charged with a spirit of learning. Physical exercises

and exposure to art and culture is also essential for

their development. And most importantly they must

have able and dedicated tutors to help them achievetheir Ideal. The Guru must have an atmosphere free

of personal tensions and bonding that will deter his

from performing his duties. The pressure of achiev-

ing of a certain gure or marks alone must not be

the factor of any evaluation. The home is where a

youngsters education begins. We must ensure that

every home and parent dedicates his time to the

development of a conducive atmosphere t for the

molding of our future generation. Children learn by

imitation. The lives of our elders, teachers, society,and parents must have a positive impact on the kids

of our youth.

Every Ideal must have leader who the society can

look up to. Unfortunately today our nation looks

up to political icons for this inspiration. And sadly

they have failed to make any impact. Leaders, be it

poetical or otherwise, must ensure they set right ex-

amples for our youth to study and follow. Mere agi-

tations and ery speeches is not enough to inspire.

It may win elections but does not work positively

for the development of the nation. Leaders mustperform and show positive results that inspires con-

dence.

Every aspect of our society must produce positive

vibes in daily life. False notions of progress and an

animal like instinct to gain modern progressiveness

even by immoral practices must be put to an end.

A reorientation in the thought process of estab-

lishing values of life and a proper idea of what is

a full life as a patriotic citizen of our nation is the

need of the hour for our youth. This is not an im-

possible task and many organisations in our nation

have been working towards realizing this dream. It

becomes our duty to help choose the right way.

Along with the natural recourses, India is blessed with

abundant technical and professional manpower. In this

era of IT revolution, it is a fact to be proud that we are

counted among the active participants in the process of

advancement in this eld. Information Technology has

wide potential to be utilized in almost all elds of life,

especially in education system. Internet opens before

us the boundless world of information.

Inspite of the fast pace of advancement in IT eld, ofwhich we are an inevitable part, it is very sad to note

that the possibilities are not fully exploited by us for a

better education style. Internet provides the concept of

a virtual classroom where we nd intense interactivity

and the sharing of resources and information. Sharing

of experience internationally increases the scope for a

better understanding of a subject. Similarly the ex-

ibility in using internet for educational purpose allows

students to attend even classes without missing, allows

working professionals for knowledge updation in view

of job advancement, housewives with children to pur-sue their higher education etc.

However the reality is that, if we consider the youth

sector of population, majority falls in the group of mis-

using the possibilities compared to the few who have

inclination towards the knowledge, information and

exposure part. Internet very often renders our children

with materials that are inappropriate for them. Just as

dealing with strangers outside our home, children have

to be trained to deal with unwanted resources available.

Studies have showed that even the afnity towards vio-

lent games increases the inclination towards crime inones subconscious mind.

Another ill effect of internet which is more serious

on a students point of view is that even their creativity

and innovation is stagnant. They are more comfortable

at copy and paste strategy. The vast volume of infor-

mation available online are used directly rather than as

a reference for their work. The human brain that creat-

ed a cyber world like this is in turn getting deteriorated

by itself. Thinking and reasoning capacity is reducing

day by day. It is highly tempting to take an easy route

in academics when the sources are abundant, but al-ways remember that by such a copy paste culture we

are cheating ourselves, our caliber for a better work.

Similar is the case with mobile phones. The construc-

tive use of mobile phones in education is widely dis-

rsmy Ksakma

Advancing TechnologyBoon or Curse for youngsters

cussed all over the world. The concept of m-learning,

the use of mobile devices like mobile phones for learn-

ing purposes is gaining attraction in developing coun-

tries. Since the penetration rate of mobile phones in the

society is growing at a faster pace, it is considered to be

the most appropriate device for m-learning. Voice com-

munication along with data transfer facility increases

the acceptability of mobile devices. But here also thedestructive brain waves creep in.

Now a day we can see that mobile phone is a very

common thing even for a high school student and in-

ternet being the part and parcel of it as a package of

the providers. Apart from the convenience of commu-

nication, the negative effects of such package should be

the highlight of our concern. Spell bound by attractive

packages, the young community is deviating from the

essence of their profession or studies. Sound sleep is

a must for fresh brain and body. The talk time offers

given by the providers allows students to have a longconversation overnight. This for sure affects the think-

ing capacity and performance in the class the next day.

And just imagine if this continues for long term, a guar-

anteed harm for the young generation.

Parents and teachers share the responsibility to impart

a proper ethics for the information and communication

technology usage which can in turn benet the indi-

vidual and the society. Close monitoring of the students

must be done at home and school while using internet

and mobile phones. School is a childs second home

where they spent majority of their time and teachers arethe ones who can immediately spot out the difference

in character and behavior of them. We should make it a

point not to allow our children damage their creativity

and caliber giving in to the most modern technologies.

Adolescence, challenges &opportunities.

Health

The period of adolescence or teenage is associated withphysical, psychological, social dimensions. Teenagersperceive their environment, society, elders as differentfrom them. Here we will be examining key develop-mental challenges and opportunities that teenage has,along with some recent research ndings and behaviortrends. The goal is to give us a common frameworkfor discussing positive youth development which fo-

cuses on the social infrastructure young people needto thrive.

Adolescence is a transitional stage of physical andpsychological human development generally occur-ring between puberty and legal adulthood (age of ma-turity); the period of adolescence is most closely as-sociated with the teenage years.

What distinguishes them from children and adults?Adolescence can be dened biologically, as the physi-cal transition marked by the onset of puberty andthe termination of physical growth; cognitively, as

changes in the ability to think abstractly and multi-dimensionally; or socially, as a period of preparationfor adult roles. Major pubertal and biological changesinclude changes to the sex organs, height, weight, andmuscle mass, as well as major changes in brain struc-ture and organization. Cognitive advances encompass

both increases in knowledge and in the ability to thinkabstractly and to reason more effectively. There is noconsensus about the age range that denes adoles-cence. A fairly common one is young people betweenthe ages 10-19.

What are the main challenges?

The rst challenge all adolescents have to face physi-cal maturation process. Some of the most signicant

parts of pubertal development involve distinctive phys-iological changes in individuals' height, weight, bodycomposition. These changes are largely inuenced byhormonal activity. Hormones play an organizationalrole, priming the body to behave in a certain way once

puberty begins, referring to changes in hormones dur-ing adolescence that trigger behavioural and physicalchanges.

The timing of puberty can have important psycho-logical and social consequences. Early maturing boysare usually taller and stronger than their friends. Theyhave the advantage in capturing the attention of poten-

tial partners and in becoming hand-picked for sports.Pubescent boys often tend to have a good body image,are more condent, secure, and more independent. Latematuring boys can be less condent because of poor

body image when comparing themselves to alreadydeveloped friends and peers. However, early pubertyis not always positive for boys; early sexual matura-tion in boys can be accompanied by increased aggres-siveness due to the surge of hormones that affect them.Because they appear older than their peers, pubescent

boys may face increased social pressure to conform toadult norms; society may view them as more emotion-ally advanced, despite the fact that their cognitive andsocial development may lag behind their appearance.Studies have shown that early maturing boys are morelikely to be sexually active and are more likely to par-

ticipate in risky behaviours.

For girls early maturation can sometime lead to in-creased self-consciousness, though a typical aspect inmaturing females. Because of their bodies' developingin advance, pubescent girls can become more inse-cure. Consequently, girls that reach sexual maturationearly are more likely than their peers to develop eatingdisorders.

What are the implications? Young people need infor-mation about upcoming body changes and their sig-nicance at an earlier age so that they can cope withthese physical and hormonal changes. Sex educationat age 13 might be too late. Puberty is associated withweight gain. For girls in particular concerns abouttheir changing appearance can lead to health prob-

lems. Pressured by our societal standard that slim isbeautiful, young woman develop eating disorders; ap-proximately 1% of 12-18 years olds show symptomsof anorexia, while 1-3 % engage in bulimic behavior.A much higher percentage is involved in unhealthy di-eting. Young men can develop eating disorders as well

but the numbers are much lower.

Another health concern that has become a nationalpublic health issue is obesity. Over the past 30 years, anincreasing percentage of young people are diagnosedas overweight. Some of the factors that inuence thistrend: decrease in physical activity, an increasinglysedentary life style (much time in front of computerand TV), poor nutrition, larger serving sizes.

The second challenge cognitive development. Thehuman brain is not fully developed by the time a per-son reaches puberty. Between the ages of 10 and 25,the brain undergoes changes that have important im-

plications for behaviour

The brain reaches 90% of its adult size by the timea person is six years of age. Thus, the brain does notgrow in size much during adolescence. However, thecreases in the brain continue to become more complexuntil the late teens. During adolescence, myelinationand synaptic pruning in the prefrontal cortex increas-es, improving the efciency of information process-ing, and neural connections between the prefrontalcortex and other regions of the brain are strengthened.This leads to better evaluation of risks and rewards,as well as improved control over impulses. Two neu-rotransmitters that play important roles in adolescent

brain development are glutamate and dopamine. Thebalance of excitatory to inhibitory neurotransmittersand increased dopamine activity in adolescence mayhave implications for adolescent risk-taking and vul-nerability to boredom.

Do you recognize this behavior in your teenager?

Argue for the sake of arguing, being self centered,constantly nding fault in adult positions, overly dra-matic. We all agree that, talking and reasoning withadolescents can be tough. Why is that? It is becausecognitive processes and skills continue to grow overthe years (10-19).

Increasingly adolescents ne- tune their abilities asthey grow to adults. During the process of cognitivedevelopment their ability to think abstractly improves,ability to analyze situations logically improves, abilityto think realistically about future improves, goal set-ting skills gets ne tuned, moral reasoning improves,ability to entertain hypothetical situations, and use ofmetaphors improves. Recent research in adolescent

brain development has demonstrated that the brainis still developing. Neural connections are still beingformed until the mid 20s. It conrms what parents

probably have known all along adolescents do notprocess and think the same way as adults do.

These ndings help us understand why teens do not al-ways understand the consequences of their behaviors,in particular risk taking behaviors; it helps explainwhy they might interpret social situation differentlyand respond with different emotions. It also meansthat young people can inuence their brain develop-ment through their activities. It makes the case formeaningful activities and participation. Young peoplewho exercise their brains by learning to order their

thoughts, understand abstract concepts, and controltheir impulses are laying neural foundations that willserve them for the rest of their lives. Parents and adultsshould decide, whether they want to hard-wire theirteens brain for sports, playing music, doing maths or lying on the couch watching TV.

The third challenge of adolescence is to look for an-swers to the questions-

Who am I? What is my place in this world?

In interaction with their social environments youngpeople are trying to gure out who they are, whatmakes them unique, and where do they t in. Identityformation is critical and closely linked to how they feelabout themselves and what they think others expectfrom them. Recent studies have shown that minority

youth who developed a strong sense of ethnic identitytend to have higher self-esteem than those who dont.The search for identity can be more complex whenadolescents face the additional challenges of socialinjustice and discrimination; this might be especially

Health



true for youth who often starts their identify develop-ment by being different.

Peer group is important for the process of separatingfrom family; most inuential during mid-adolescence.The other aspect of social emotional development ishighlighted by the question: How do I relate to others?Young people have to develop skills how to communi-cate, interact with others; how to assess, cope with andcontrol their emotions.

Young people are immersed in these challengesthroughout their adolescent years. It is important toremember that they do not do this in a vacuum. Theirdevelopment is ltered through and inuenced by thesocial environments they are in.

Social toxicity

Although some of these social issues have improvedover the years, they still have impact on the lives ofyoung people (and adults)

Most of them all well known, here are few keypoints:

Poverty we know that young people growing up inpoverty have less opportunities and support; they oftenface additional problems such as violence & disrupted

family relationships (single parenting, domestic vio-lence), Sexual exploitation internet, marketing, bodyimage, Health threats drugs/alcohol, AIDS. Lack of

benevolent adults authority lack of role models thatpromote positive social and moral values is one of themajor crisis teenagers are facing in this era of enter-tainment and globalization. As we know most currentrole models are on accumulation of wealth and noth-ing else.

We looked at developmental tasks and environmentalchallenges young people face; in that context - risk

taking behavior is understandable. It makes parentsand other adults crunch, but it is normal and to be ex-pected. We can also acknowledge that there is reasonfor concern. Young people have a need for support,guidance and structure. If that is missing, negativeoutcomes are likely to occur. Lets take a look at the

problem behaviors we adhere are problem behaviorswe are typically concerned with.

We see some positive trends right now, although thatdo not imply that all is well. For example we see asolid decline in teen pregnancy rates; at the same timewe have seen increased rates in several STIs (sexu-ally transmitted illnesses). Or we see a decline in bingedrinking, but at the same time we see an increase inother substances.

But the overall trend in regards to those behaviors is

positive. Teen pregnancy rates have declined over thepast 10 years. Also declining are delinquency, sub-stance abuse, violence and school dropout, mental

health Data are not as conclusive and consistent.Suicide attempts have gone down from 29% in 1991to 15% in 2011, although anecdotal evidence suggestsan increase in other areas (self-injurious behavior, de-

pression).

Opportunities/Positive trends

Volunteerism: an estimated 55% of young people (12-18) participate in volunteer activities which intendedto promote good or improve human quality of life. It isconsidered as serving the society through own interest,

personal skills or learning, which in return produces

a feeling of self-worth and respect, instead of money.Volunteering is also famous for the skill development,to socialize and to have fun. Parents should encourage

teenagers to participate in voluntary or social activi-ties; our motherland has many towering examples inthe eld of social activities.

Music & Arts are inseparable part of our culture, somotivating children to learn and appreciate these willhelp to cultivate good culture in them. Participationin sports and games not only lay foundation to goodhealth but also promotes team building, sharing and

learning from failures. We should allow teenagers un-structured time, rather than dictating norms even dur-ing their leisure time. High school graduation and col-lege enrollment should be considered as opportunities,and career guidance should be given to adolescents.This should be based more on their aptitudes ratherthan the attitudes of the parents.

We have discussed some key challenges and opportu-nities that the teenage has, based on recent researchesin the eld of behavioral science. The challenges thata teenager undergoes during the transition period,

makes us more sensitive to their problems and supportthem. Teenagers positive energy should be harnessedfor their physical, intellectual, emotional, and socialdevelopment.

Medicine is derived from the Latin word ars

Medicine meaning the art of healing.

All human societies have medical beliefs that

provide explanation for birth, death and disease.

Throughout history illness has been attributed to

witchcraft, demons, astral inuences, or the will of

gods .These ideas still retain some power with faithhealing and Shrines are still used in some places for

curing diseases.

Prehistoric Medicine: - From the early days of

man, he used the various parts of plants and ani-

mals as healing agents. The tribes had shamans and

witchdoctors, who administered these medicines

with prayers for healings. Chanting, prayers to the

earth and the various elements of the earth, and sky

including the sun, trees, plants, mountains, water

bodies were carried out by the healers.

Ancient civilization: - Egypt, Mesopotamia, China,

Greek and Roman medicines, and of course India,

had systems of medicine that was very advanced for

its time and inuenced later medical traditions. The

system of diagnosis, prognosis and medical exami-

nation was the basis of all the ancient medical prac-

tice. The Hippocratic oath still taken by doctors

today was written in Greece in 5th century BC.

Ancient Egypt: - Ancient Egypt had a large, varied

and fruitful medical tradition. Herodotus described

the Egyptians as the healthiest of men. The earliestknown surgery was performed in Egypt around 2750

B.C. Imhotep in the 3rd Dynasty is credited with be-

ing the founder of Ancient Egyptian medicines and

the original author of Edwin Smith Papyrus written

in 1600 B.C,

Mesopotamia: - The oldest Babylonian texts of

medicine dates back to the First Babylonian Dynasty

in the 2nd century B.C the Babylonians (Iraq) had

a therapeutic system to treat patients and also used

exorcism to cleanse the patients from curses.

China:- China had developed a large body of tra-ditional medicine from Taoist physicians and reect

the classical Chinese relief that individual human

experiences causes the illness in mind and body.

Visualization ofAncient medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine was based on use of

herbal medicines, acupuncture, massage and other

forms of therapy, practiced in china for thousands

of years. The foundational text of medical science

in China is Huangdi Neyjin (or yellow emperors

inner canon). Which has two books the Suwen andLingshu?

Greek and Roman Medicines: - First known

Greek medical school opened in Cnidus in 100 B.C.

The Ancient Greeks developed a humoral medicine

system where treatment sought to restore the bal-

ance of humors within the body. Temples dedicated

to the healer god Asclepius, known as Asclepiads,

functioned as centers of medical advice, prognosis

and healing. At these shrines, patients would enter

a dream like state of induced sleep with opium orsome aphrodisiacs (like an anesthesia) in which they

either received guidance from a deity in a dream or

were cured by surgery.

The towering gure of Greek medicine was the

physician Hippocrates of KOS (460b.c to 377 b.c)

considered the father of modern medicine. He freed

medicine from the imagination of magic and spir-

its and superstition. Unani system of medicine was

founded by Hippocrates

Ancient Indian Medical system:- Brahma Smrit-waa Veda Vedas emerged from the thoughts of

Lord Brahma the creator .of all organisms. Vedas

were there before the event of man.

Dhanvantari is an avatar of Vishnu from Hindu

tradition. He appears in the Vedas and Puranas as

the physician of the gods and the god of Ayurvedic

medicine. It is common practice in the Hindu reli-

gion for worshippers to pray to Dhanvantari seeking

his blessings for sound health for themselves and for

others. The Puranas state that Dhanvantari emerged

from the Ocean of Milk (palkaddal) and appearedwith a pot of Nectar during the story of Samudra or

Sagar Manthan. While the ocean was being churned

by Devas and Asuras, using Manthara par bath and

Science

A.vya Smo



Serpent Vasuki, they got Nectar. The Nectar or

Amrit is said to give eternal health and life.

Ayurvedam is considered as the Knowledge for

Long and healthy life and is a system of medicine

practiced in India from over 5000 years. In the an-

cient epic Ramayana, we have seen the God Hanu-

man, picking up Dronagiri Mountain where there

are various medicinal plants and then reviving Lak-

shmanan from the dead with Sanjivani Ayushada. In

Mahabharata, the Kauravas were said to be fertil-

ized outside of the womb of Mother Gandhari. In

the fourth Veda (Atharvaveda), describes the prac-

tices of Ayurveda. Its most famous texts belong to

the schools of Charaka born in 600 BC and Shush-rutha born in 600 BC. These texts contain some

limited continuities with the earlier ideas known

from Vedas.

According to Charaka Samhita, health and disease

are not predetermined and life can be prolonged by

human effort. The Sushruthasamhita denes the

purpose of medicine to cure the disease of the sick,

protect the healthy and to prolong life. Both these

ancient compendia include details of the examina-

tion, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of numer-

ous ailments. The Sushruthasamhita is notable fordescribing procedures on various forms of surgery,

including Rhinoplasty (reshaping the nose) repair of

torn ear lobes, perineal lithotomic, cataract surgery

and several other excisions and surgical procedure.

The most remarkable is Sushrutas penchant for sci-

entic classication. His medical treatise consists

of 184 chapters, 1120 conditions, including injuries

and illness relating to ageing and mental illness. It

also describes 125 surgical instruments and 300 sur-

gical procedures and classies human surgery in 8categories. Sushruta is considered as the rst known

Plastic Surgeon.

The Ayurveda classics mention 8 branches of

medicine, such as Kayachikitsa, (internal medi-

cine), Salyachikitsa (surgery including anatomy),

Salakyacikitsa (eye, ear, nose and throat disease),

Kaumarabhrtya (pediatrics), Bhutavidya (spirit

medicine), Agada tantra (toxicology), Rasayana

(science of rejuvenation) and Vajikarana (aphrodi-

siacs).

Student of Ayurveda is expected to know ten arts,that were indispensable in the preparation and ap-

plication of medicines, distillation, operative skills,

cooking, horticulture, metallurgy, etc. The normal

length of students training is 7 years. A physician is

supposed to learn for a long and continuous period,in order to practice such medicine.

As an alternative form of medicine in India, Unani

medicine got deep roots and royal patronage during

medieval times. Unani medicine is almost similar to

Ayurvedic medicines, because both are based on the

theory of the presence of elements in our body. In

Ayurveda it is Vata, pitta and Kaphaa and in Unani

it is re, water, and air. According to followers of

Unani medicine, these elements are present in dif-

ferent uids and their balance leads to good health

and their imbalance to illness.In Kerala, the Astavaidya family Vaidyas

are considered as traditional experts, to provide

Ayurvedic and siddha treatment to the sick. Further,

Dhanwantari is considered as the God of Medi-

cine and is worshipped in the temples.

Even today most of the Ancient medical traditions

are practiced all over the world, enhanced by the

presence of recent scientic researches, and diag-

nostic practices. The traditional medicines were

more holistic than modern medicines and the ancient

medical practitioners used to treat man as a whole

being for his illness. Whereas the modern medicine

treats the specic disease only, which has the com-

mon complication of the treatment for one disease

would be the reason for causing another disease.

Many efforts are in the anvil to bring together the

ancient medical practices with the modern medical

system for the benet of mankind. In order to bring

about good health to the mankind, it is necessary to

delve into the ancient texts, imbibe the knowledge

in it and with the latest technological devices treatthe patient as a whole being, with psychological and

sociological insights into the mind and body of a

man.

For most of us a job is more than an income

it's an important part of who we are. Your career

needs the sort of care and attention that a passionate

gardener gives to his plants. The mantra to bring

your career to glorious fruition is to cultivate the

skills and techniques to improve performance andofcourse be in good books of the powerful ones :)

Job trends in modern world are ever changing.

The top 10 in-demand jobs in 2012 didnt even ex-

ist in 2004. With the advancement in technology

the job markets across the world have seen a drastic

change. Gone are the times when being an engineer

or doctor was the highest one could achieve.

IT has had its share of highs and lows in the past

few years. Developers have always been in demand.

IT is a vast ocean. To survive in IT, constant upgra-dation is the only technique. Past few years saw a

lot of people losing their jobs. But the market looks

green again now. In addition, the development of

new operating systems and common code bases has

allowed many more industries to develop custom

software solutions. A decade ago, many companies

from wildly different elds might have used the

same spreadsheet program. Today, developers with

unique backgrounds build specialized applications

like databases, point-of-sale systems, and customer

relationship networks. IT has become an inevitable

part of the modern world. Every new technology

evolving day to day has its share of IT involved.

The Software Engineers are in demand in every

eld.

Networking Specialists are in demand. Unlike a

traditional computer programmer, who focuses on

solving problems with software, a networking spe-

cialist must gure out how to keep all of the various

devices in an organization connected to each other.

As networking grew from an offshoot of computerengineering into its own specialty, many profes-

sionals learned how to efciently manage a com-

pany's information ow through hidden cables and

routers. Technology continues to advance, so new

and different jobs are constantly emerging. Today's

networking specialist, for example, must integrate

wireless devices like phones, laptops, and pagersinto their data structures. Whether working for a

private employer, an Internet service provider, or

a government agency, networking specialists must

work on-site to install and maintain highly special-

ized equipment. With new generations of network-

ing hardware emerging every few years, this is a

professional role that can never be delegated to

overseas workers.

Management consultants, Project managers, Ser-

vice managers, coordinators are people who runthe business. Once dominated by road warriors, the

consulting arena has opened up to a variety of pro-

fessionals, thanks to new networking technology.

With qualications and insight earned from years of

experience and study, a consultant might work from

home while helping clients all over the world.

Medical eld is an ever green eld. Doctors,

nurses, pharmaceutics, embryologists, radiolo-

gists, ultrasound and X-ray technicians, medical

transcriptionist, microbiologists, home health aideprofessionals have always been in demand. There

is constant innovation in medical industry. The Bio-

medical engineering has attempted to close the gap

Saya SjsNew Job Trends inModern World

Education



between the medicine and engineering by applying

engineering principles and design concepts to med-

icine and biology. Physiotherapist, cosmetologistand dentist are also much in demand.

Media has shone well in the past few years. Jour-

nalism, Public relations, Publishing, Films, Audio

recording, Blogs, animation, VFX (Visual Effects)

are some of the most trendy jobs today. There are a

lot of institutes now that provide courses and train

people in these elds.

Beauty courses are the booming career in con-

temporary world because of the emerging trends

in beauty industry and improved standard of liv-

ing of people. Traditionally, there were only few

jobs available in a beauty salon, such as hair styl-

ist, managers/owners, receptionists, etc. But today,

the scenario has changed, basic salon is no longer

people's preference; they want everything to be per-

fect. There are hair stylists, nail artists, estheticians,

colorists and there are a number of institutes that

make good money by providing training on these.

The Fashion Industry is not let far behind. It is

one of the booming elds with many new fashion

designers coming up with vibrant ideas and rulingthe fashion world with their new designs. They nd

their way into designing costumes for celebrities,

textile industries etc.

Food business is the latest buzz. The food indus-

try has grown tremendously in the past few years.

The guts to blend western and Indian food have

gone down well with the Indian customer. Fast

food joints and restaurants are the easiest option

for the working class. Eating from out is no more

a weekend thing. People are now considering in-vesting as franchisee in fast food chains. Chefs and

Food Quality Controllers play an important role to

keep the food industry running. Lets not forget the

Nutritionists and Dietitians are many people in the

modern world have their diets and menu chartered

so as to be in good health and shape.

Banking industry has recruited many freshers in

the past 4 years. Extensive training is provided post

this recruitment. Many institutes now help to pre-

pare for bank tests.Accountants and Auditors are a requirement in

every rm. Accounting is considered as one of the

highest paying jobs and Chartered Accountants are

always in demand. Many students now prefer to

take up accounting, commerce and economics in-

stead of science. Institutes like ICFAI provide vari-

ous courses in accounting.Architects and Interior Designers do have their

share of cake too. The present day skyscrapers with

ravishing interiors have widened the job market for

Architects and Interior Designers.

Social workers would exist as long as social is-

sues exist. It is amazing how this eld has devel-

oped. There are many more elds, which have

grown and developed over the past few years.

The teaching profession has also seen a lot of im-

provement. Advanced courses need to be taken andexaminations must be cleared to qualify as teacher.

With the advancement of technology, blackboards

have now been replaced with computer screens.

Computer knowledge has now become a must for

every teacher.

As the job market is becoming highly competi-

tive, the academics is becoming more and more

challenging and promising. The students have to set

their aim as they head to senior secondary level and

select their course accordingly. They must take thesupport and guidance from their parents and teach-

ers. They should help the child in selecting the suit-

able career according to his talents, marks, interests

and skills. Moreover, the right colleges or institutes

must be selected and proper coaching given so that

the child can utilize the fullest of it to reach the

heights.

I am sure if this article is written after 2 more

years there will be many more new names in the

list. Jobs will exist as long as technology exists

and innovations happen. THE BEST career advice

given to the young is: Find out what you like do-

ing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.

Know your strengths and weakness and choose

your career accordingly. Aim at achieving the best

with your education and skills and keep updating

yourself so that you are always in par with the new

developments and technologies which are emerg-

ing day to day. As science advances and technology

develops, one must keep themselves well informed

and updated through various sources like books,internet etc. Space is the limit if you aim high. So

keep striving for the best and never settle with just

the second best.

Indian population constitute maximum num-

ber of youth aged between 15-30. This cohort

is healthier, more urbanised and better educated

than earlier generations; at the same time they are

totally out of sync with the idea of Bharat..

Indian new generation are less bothered about

the nation and nationalism. This is the result of

Globalisation. Today we talk about the conceptof 'global village, what it means? It means, for-

get your national identity and become a citizen of

global village. The 'prophet' of the globalisation

targets the youth.

The idea of Bharat, its civilization, culture has

been denied to the new generation. The western

education system which was imported to Bharat

with an ulterior motive imbibed the notion that

everything Indian is substandard, no matter, its

culture, tradition, symbols has all been consid-ered either tribal or nave. The education system

British brought in said that you have to become

non-Indian, anti-Indian to understand the world

and we began distancing ourselves from our cul-

ture, tradition, our moorings and started discard-

ing these as irrelevant. This is the extend we have

been alienated from our culture and history.

The modern education system gives more im-

portance to the materialistic side of a person and

guides him to achieve those with a selsh attitude.There is no place for humanity, spirituality or man

making.

The most suffering lot of the new generation

youngsters are the youth living in foreign land

away from everything Indian. The chances for

knowing about their country and experiencing the

traditions are feeble for them. They are totally out

of touch with the Bharateeyatha (or indianness).

Because of this they tend to lose condence in

them, feeling inferior to other cultures and nation-

alities.

Seva Darshan a nationalistic organization work-

ing among the NRIs in Kuwait who always comes

up with innovative ideas came up with a youth

organization called YUVA DARSHAN. The mot-

to of Yuva Darshan is to propagate the real idea

and notion of India among the expatriate Indian

youth to show them the real power of Bharat. In-

troduce and make them aware about the golden

history of India.

Yuva Darshan conducts monthly classes on vari-ous topics ranging from Personality development

to the management aspects of Bagavat Gita. Each

and every aspect of modern subjects are analysed

and explained in relevance to the great heritage

and knowledge from our golden past.

This innovative idea has been widely accepted

by the youth in Kuwait is quite evident from the

enthusiastic crowd which attend the class every

month. The most appreciable fact is the participa-

tion of the parents of these youth and their validfeedback on the subjects.

There are many ways to consume curd apart

from having a cup of it regularly with your lunch.Curd rice which is quite popular in South India is

quite wholesome and tasty too. Curd vada is an-

other cooling snack which can be easily prepared

at home.

Curd Vada

Summer is perhaps the only season when one

doesn't want to think about food. All you want to

do is drink chilled beverage. But if you are smart

enough , you can come up with cool food combos

which ensure a t body to counteract heat dam-

ages.

Curd is one of the very good summer food as

it cools you from inside .More than just cooling

the body it has lot of health benets as well. Al-

though curd has nutritive content similar to milk,

is it much more healthier than milk. Curd has zero

carb, zero sugars and zero trans- fats. Curd con-

tains more B complex vitamins than milk. More

over those who are allergic to milk can also take

curd in plenty! Apart from the health effects it

has extensive therapeutic uses as well. During the

process of making curd bacteria converts milk into

curd and predigest the milk protein. These bacteria

then inhibit the growth of disease causing bacteria

inside our intestinal tract and promote benecial

bacteria needed for digestion. These friendly bac-

teria facilitate the absorption of minerals and aid

in the synthesis of B complex vitamins

Consuming curd increases the capacity to absorb

the nutrients and minerals form other food stuffs.It helps to get strong bones and teeth as its calci-

um content is high, there by helps to ght against

osteoporosis. Taking curd along with a meal im-

proves the digestion. Taking curd regularly helps

minimize the risk of high blood pressure. Though

it provides lot of health benets, over consumption

should be avoided. Ayurveda insists , curd should

not be consumed at night. Apart from providing

nutritional and health benets, curd is also usedas a beauty product. If curd is massaged on facial

skin, it acts as skin bleach. It also brings softness

in skin. Curd can act as an excellent hair condi-

Salutations to that Vyasa who is free from

all defects and is a treasure of austerities, is

the great-grandson of sage Vasishta, grand-

son of Shakti, son of Parasara and father of

Sukha. My repea ted salutations are to Vyasa

who is a form of Lord Vishnu and to Vishnu

who is a form of Vyasa, who is a desce ndent

of sage Vasishta, who is a treasure of Brah-

man. Let us worship the sage (Muni) Vyasa

who is Krishna Dvaipayana, who is devotedto the welfare of the world, who is like a

Sun to the Vedas.

The life history of Veda Vyasa is an inter-

esting and inspirational story. The author of

the longest poetic epic Mahabharata, con-

taining one lakh verses in Sanskrit. Veda

Vyasa was the first and greatest acharya of

Sanatan Dharma.

He is responsible for classifying the four

Vedas, wrote the 18 Puranas and recited th e

Vighneswara. In fact, the Mahabharata is

often called as the fifth Veda (Panchama

Veda).

The most important and the most glori-

fied section of Mahabharat is the Srimadth

Bhagwad Gita, the lesson recited to Arju-

na by Lord Krishna on the battlefield. Thebiography of Veda Vyasa is very vivid and

makes an interesting read.

Around some 5000 years ago, he was born

on an island on the holy river Yamuna. His

father was Parashara Maharshi, a sage and

his mother was Satyavati.

He taught the Vedas to his pupils with ar-

dent devotion and dedication. It is said thatMahabharata is the 18th Purana that was

written by Veda Vyasa.

He fathered four famous sons, Pandu,

Dhritarashtra, Vidura and Sukhdeva. Veda

Vyasa received knowledge from great sages

like Vasudeva and Sanakadika. He described

that the most important goal in one's life is

to attain Narayana or the Divine Supreme.

Apart from the Mahabharata, he also wrote

the Brahmasootra, one of his shortest the-

ologies on Hindu philosophy. It is said that

Veda Vyasa is immortal and he never died.

Seeing the widespread violence in today's

times, he is said to have retreated into some

remote village in Northern India.

The life of Veda Vyasa is an example to

all in the modern times on how to be s elfless

and devote oneself entirely to Lord in orderto attain Nirvana.
