Science of Consciousness - Vigyan Bhairav


Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to speak on Vigyan Bhairav - The Science of Conciousness from 28 - 30 April, 2017.
Vigyan Bhairav is an ancient scripture on meditation. It is a dialogue between lord Shiva and his wife Parvati (refer to as Devi in this scripture), where she asks Shiva, "How one can go beyond space and time to understand this truth?", and Shiva reveals her how one can realize this reality through 112 techniques of Meditation.
Khurshed Batliwala and Dinesh Ghodke, Faculties of Art of Living and Authors of Ready, Study, Go! talks on why one should attend the upcoming event "Unveiling Infinity - bitly.com/unveiling-infinity" happening in Mumbai.

The Science of Consciousness (TSC) is the world’s largest and longest-running interdisciplinary conference on all aspects of the nature of conscious awareness, feelings and existence.
These include how the brain produces consciousness, how consciousness can causally affect brain processes, the best empirical theories, do we have free will, evolution of life and consciousness, the origins of moral and aesthetic values, how to improve mental, physical and cognitive function, and whether consciousness can persist after bodily death, e.g. through “uploading” to machines, or via mental processes tied to the structure of reality. These and other relevant questions are approached through many disciplines in science, philosophy, business, the arts and contemplative practices.
TSC began in 1994 at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, and returns to Tucson in even-numbered years, alternating with TSC conferences around the globe (Italy, Denmark, Japan, Hungary, Hong Kong, Sweden, Czech Republic, India and, most recently, Helsinki, Finland in 2015). Now, co-sponsored by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, and Crystal Globe, Shanghai, China, the 23rd annual TSC will be held at the new Shanghai Disneyland Resort, June 6-9, 2017, emphasizing modern concepts in the light of ancient traditions.

Cattle Sale Ban in India


The Union government’s new notification banning the sale of cows and buffaloes for slaughter is a “fascist and anti-federal move” and the Centre can’t prepare a menu for the people of the country, Kerala’s Left government said on Friday.

“We will not allow the (central) government to enforce fascist policies of the RSS and other fringe outfits. Let it issue many such notifications, we will not follow them,” said Kerala’s agriculture minister VS Sunil Kumar.

The Kerala Chief Minister’s Office also criticized the slaughter ban, saying “Cattle slaughter becomes illegal at a time when manslaughter happens in the name of cow”.
