Usha, the problem is, no matter what we do or how we hard we try to keep things clean, ultimately we have to have support and an active interest from the admin, which unfortunately, I have to admit is completely lacking. Our moderator bonuses have been stopped for a long time now and without any kind of notice or word, even then we did not question it but kept working as always. But the indifference and inactivity on admin's part is putting us off.
I wonder why Maverick has not bothered to revive the site because there is a lot of potential in this site and if proper care is taken and some incentives introduced like the article writing competition etc I am sure it will attract a lot more older and newer members as well. As it is there are not many Indian forums that pay for both articles and discussions .

Came across this quote from Albert Einstein - "Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value."
Charles Darwin - "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
I guess success is not about making money or gaining power or perfection but also about survivial !
I really like both the quotes, it is so important and hard at the same time to stick to your values in the pursuit of success because success earned the hard way is the one that stays longer and also helps one to survive through thick and the thin.
Absolutely Kalyani, I like to hear success stories of common everyday people rather than the rich and famous and celebrity figures..The small time success stories touch your heart because of the hard work and dedication that has gone into it..

Yes it is optional.Some people are habitual of opposing all things. For some peoples it is program of political party. Yoga is for better health of all humans. Today I read that Muslims are also supporting Yoga. They said that we can speak Allaha in place of OM. I think noting wrong in it.
Yoga has nothing to do with religion. Modi said,Yoga is not a religious practice, but a science for better mental health. UN Secretary General Ban Ki moon said, Yoga is must for harmony, Country's largest border guarding force BSF will soon send a 1900 personnel-strong contingent to advanced training in Yoga exercises and skills by Ramdev at his facility in Haradwar.
Only and only problem with yoga, that it is associated with Hindu and Hidutav, just like Ayurveda.
Why should its association with Hindu and Hinduism be termed as a "problem"?
How can one relate health related activities or nature to religion, Yoga is as doing some exercises, and ayurveda is treating diseases by natural products. So religion has nothing to do with yoga or ayurveda.

Kalyani Nandurkar said thank you to vijay for his/her reply to the topic Man has lost his all morals for money..
Yes persons can go to any length for money including killing even near and dear ones and the selling of a 25 day old baby. It takes all types of persons to make the world. As individuals we can try and pass on good values to our children and hope lot many do so and expect society to become a better place.

Last week there was some expectancy with regard to changes in the functioning and rules of the forum. But now with Sunil's post about having resigned from his posts as moderator and editor and even the other moderators probably not being able to do anything much , one very much wonders what exactly is going on here ? Does'nt the admin want positive changes that would help the forum and its members ? or is there some other issue that I and other members are not aware of ?

Kalyani Nandurkar replied to the topic Can development happen at the cost of rich agriculture?.
Development at the cost of agriculture is a short term development and will only prove disastrous in the long run. Already when the population is exploding at an alarming rate leading to unemployment and food shortage, the solution to these problems can only be found in sustainable agriculture methods, which unfortunately does not bring quick money and hence, is being thrown aside carelessly.

Yes. If there are other restaurants,,its good. The idea is to give utmost importance to Health.
If some one is serious about health than they must be eat at their home not at restaurant. food which we prepared and cooked at our home is thousand time better than of restaurant.
