Heaven being satisfied, whatever is under heaven and  under the sun is satisfied.

They being  satisfied, the eater is satisfied with offspring, cattle, food,  brightness of the body and the light of Brahman.  


 The Apana 


1.   The third oblation that he offers, he should offer, saying:  "Svaha to the apana!" Then the apana is satisfied. 


2.   The apana being satisfied, speech (i.e. the tongue) is satisfied.  Speech being satisfied, fire is satisfied. Fire being satisfied, the  earth is satisfied. The earth being satisfied, what is under the  earth and under fire is satisfied. They being satisfied, the eater  is satisfied with offspring, cattle, food, brightness of the body  and the light of Brahman.  


 The Samana 


1.   The fourth oblation that he offers, he should offer, saying:  "Svaha to the samana!" Then the samana is satisfied. 


2.   The samana being satisfied, the mind is satisfied. The mind  being satisfied, the rain�god is satisfied. The rain�god being  satisfied, the lightning is satisfied. The lightning being  satisfied, what is under the lightning and under the rain�god is  satisfied. They being satisfied, the eater is satisfied with  offspring, cattle, food, brightness of the body and the light of  Brahman.  


 The Udana 


1.   The fifth oblation that he offers, he should offer, saying:  "Svaha to the udana!" Then the udana is satisfied. 


2.   The udana being satisfied, the skin is satisfied. The skin being  satisfied, the air is satisfied. The air being satisfied, the akasa is  satisfied. The akasa being satisfied, what is under the air and  under the akasa is satisfied. They being satisfied, the eater is  satisfied with offspring, cattle, food, brightness of the body and  the light of Brahman.  


 The Glory of the Agnihotra Sacrifice 


1.   If, without knowing this knowledge of the Vaisvanara Self, one  offers an Agnihotra oblation, it is like an oblation offered in  dead ashes after removing the live coals.

Soul, Ego, Body and Mind - You have to destroy your ego

 


Soul, Ego, Body and Mind

Soul is God particle. Ego is attached to the soul by the creator. It is the identification of the individual soul particle or spirit. The soul-ego combination gets the body. Mind is the experience of the body.

When the body disintegrates, body and mind are destroyed. But some experience may be retained by the ego. This is called "vasana" or experience of the previous births.

Soul is the witness of all activities of the ego-body combinations. May be it has a big video recorder that captures everything the ego-body combinations are doing in all senses.  

Ego destruction is the ultimate aim of the ego. There is a communication between soul and ego and ego and human thinking component of the brain.


Update


You have to destroy your ego. Soul cannot be destroyed by you. Body and mind will deteriorate and go. But before it happens you need to take care of your ego which will suffer the undesirable things of the creation. Life is a game of avoiding undesirable things God created many. But God's bias is in favour of persons trying to evade them.

2021 - Engineers' Day - Engineers for Skill Development & Employment in Combating COVID

 54th ENGINEERS’ DAY - 2021

Theme:

Engineers for Skill Development & Employment in combating COVID


September 15 is celebrated every year in the country since the year 1967 as “Engineers’ Day” to commemorate the birthday of the legendary engineer Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya. Sir Visvesvaraya, an eminent Indian engineer and statesman was born in a remote village of Karnataka, the State that is incidentally now the Hi-tech State of the country. Due to his outstanding contribution to the society, Government of India conferred “Bharat Ratna” on this legend in the year 1955. He 

was also called the precursor of economic planning in India. His learned 

discourse on Economic Planning in India, Planned Economy for India and 

Reconstructing India, was the first available document on the planning 

effort of the country and it is still held as the parent source matter for 

economic planners. A theme of national importance is chosen every year 

by the Council of the Institution and deliberated at its various State/Local 

Centres to educate the engineering fraternity in general and the society in 

particular. This year the 54th Engineers’ Day will be celebrated all over the 

country on the theme “Engineers for Skill Development & Employment in 

combating COVID.

The heralding of a new decade in 2020 was marred with plummeting 

of the global economy pushing millions into penury as the COVID 19 

pandemic took centre stage. Reeling under an economic downturn, many 

industries have adopted conservative approaches like hiring freezes, paycuts and layoffs to remain afloat while others were forced to shut down. 

The shutting of commercial establishments due to the second wave of 

Covid-19 has rendered several people jobless leaving them financially 

vulnerable.

As we move along, the biggest challenge at hand will be getting back on 

track and accept the new normal. Under the new normal, the jobs, which 

are heavily dependent on migratory workforce and involve work spaces

with higher levels of physical 

proximity, are likely to see greater 

transformation and would require 

skilling and re-employing our 

workforce.

We, as professional engineers, 

need to think of technical 

interventions to design and 

implement sound labour market 

information systems, including 

accurate market assessment and 

need anticipation, and putting 

in place processes for skills 

recognition to prevent attrition, 

poor labour market integration and 

deterioration of working conditions 

for all workers. 

There is a dire need to scale up Skill Development Ecosystem while 

strengthening our cloud based infrastructure. Access to skills recognition 

processes, especially for low- and medium-skilled migrant workers, will 

be crucial and would assist us in formulating policy recommendations 

for improvement of the relevant legislative and operational mechanisms.

The COVID-19 pandemic has provided us with an opportunity to come 

up with a well-crafted strategy to deal with this crisis. As uncertainty 

persists, it is imperative that our workforce is empowered with the right 

skills through timely and relevant skilling, upskilling and reskilling efforts. 

This will make our people more agile and resilient, and able to cope with 

the challenges posed by the current pandemic and what lies beyond.
