Bhartiya Gau Raksha Dal

The Bhartiya Gau Raksha Dal (lit. 'Indian Cow Protection Organisation'; abbr.:BGRD) is an Indian right-wing Hindutva volunteer organisation and part of the cow protection movement. The group is affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and is a member of the Sangh Parivar. It provides guidance and support in the construction of protective shelters for cattle, and often engages in vigilante violence against minorities, primarily Muslims and Dalits. It was founded in 2012 by Pawan Pandit.
In supporting the creation of new cattle protection groups, the organisation has set up more than 32 groups in different Indian states. The organisation has vigilante paramilitary links. It has spearheaded a campaign against the killing of cattle, filing many complaints against those who were found to have participated in such acts. A member of the group was appointed to the cattle protection state committee in Punjab, strengthening the group's influence.
The BGRD also has a ‘Gau Commando Force’ — primarily vigilantes who patrol state borders for people smuggling cows and also conduct raids on slaughterhouses.
The organisation has been involved in a number of attacks against Muslims and Dalits. Despite evidence, many of the accused have faced minimal legal consequences. Furthermore, the police often coordinates and works with the group.
While Pawan Pandit claims to condemn violence, the group has been criticised by many for policing and religious violence.
EMD NW2

The EMD NW2 is a 1,000 hp (750 kW), B-B switcher locomotive manufactured by General Motors Electro-Motive Division of La Grange, Illinois. From February 1939 to December 1949, EMD produced 1,145 NW2s: 1,121 for U.S. and 24 for Canadian railroads. Starting in late 1948, the NW2s were manufactured in EMD's Plant #3 in Cleveland, Ohio. The locomotives were powered by a 12-cylinder model 567 engine and later a model 567A engine. In addition, EMD built three TR cow–calf paired sets, 36 TR2 cow–calf paired sets, and two TR3 cow–calf–calf sets. The TR sets were built before World War II; the TR2 and TR3 sets afterward.
Distinguishing features include two stacks in the middle of the hood, a half-height radiator grille, no sand box on the front platform, and no small louvers at the top front corners of the sides of the hood. The predecessor of the NW2 was the NW1. The "N" in NW1 stands for the nine in nine hundred hp (670 kW). The "W" in both models stands for "welded frame".
Cow-hugging therapy

Cow-hugging therapy or cow cuddling is a form of animal-assisted therapy involving hugging cows for healing. People have claimed that it has mental health benefits. As of late 2023, it was reported to be becoming popular around the world. Cow therapy also includes spending time with cows, especially in farm settings, beyond just cow cuddling. Centers with cow therapy can be included within a broader mental health program.
Cow-hugging therapy originated in the Netherlands. In Australia, the National Disability Insurance Scheme has plans which include cow therapy.
The history of domesticated animals serving as emotional support is not new. The mental health benefits of pet companions along with other animals is well documented. Cows have their own particular personalities which make them a unique alternative to more conventional companions such as dogs or cats. They are also suited to more rural settings which also supports mental health for people experiencing psychological difficulties.
¡Adiós, Cordera!

¡Adiós, Cordera! (1892) is a Spanish short story written by Leopoldo Alas (also known as Clarín). Although the author's works are considered examples of realism or naturalism, many consider him a harbinger of modernism. The story is a dystopian work that deals with the rise of industrialization and modernity in Spain.
The tale centers upon a poor family in rural Spain and the gradual mechanization of their environment. Widower Antón de Chinta and his two young children (Pinín and Rosa) own a cow. The animal, which serves as a representation of the family's deteriorating economic situation, is affectionately called Cordera or lamb, and has become a family pet.
The story begins in a pastoral setting interrupted by a telegraph pole. Soon after, a railway is put through the field, which further ruptures the tranquility of the bucolic countryside and foreshadows the ending of the tale. Eventually the family's economic situation forces the father to sell the cow, which is taken away on the train for slaughter and gives the work its name.
Years later, Pinín is drafted to fight in the war and departs on the same train as the cow, an act that implies his future death. At the same time, it implies that the slaughter of innocents is a result of modernity and the city's expansion into rural areas.
Cow Green Reservoir

Cow Green Reservoir is a 2-mile (3 km) long water reservoir forming part of the border between the historic counties of Westmorland and County Durham in northern England, built between 1967 and 1971 to supply the industries of Teesside.
The reservoir acts as a river regulation reservoir releasing water into the River Tees during dry conditions so that it can be abstracted further downstream. These regulated flows allow six further reservoir levels to be maintained and these in turn provide water for industry and domestic use.
Environmentally, this part of Upper Teesdale is of national importance and the plan to construct this reservoir had been strongly opposed by local conservationists, professional botanists and geologists, including botanist Margaret E. Bradshaw. Their main concern was the protection of the rich flora and fauna of the district and especially rare alpine plants like the unique Teesdale violet. In the end, about a tenth of this plant's habitat was destroyed by the completion of the reservoir. The remaining area was designated the Moor House-Upper Teesdale National Nature Reserve in 1969, from what was previously two separate nature reserves and is England's largest reserve of this type.
The reservoir lies within the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and European Geopark. The North Pennines was designated as an AONB in 1988 and became Britain's first European Geopark in 2004.
A short distance downstream from the dam is Cauldron Snout waterfall.
Cow Green Reservoir is also the largest reserve of wild brown trout in the North East. Fishing is permitted at the rate of twelve fish per day per person.
Vicia cracca

Vicia cracca (tufted vetch, cow vetch, bird vetch, blue vetch, boreal vetch), is a species of flowering plant in the pea and bean family Fabaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia. It occurs on other continents as an introduced species, including North America, where it is a common weed. It often occurs in disturbed habitats, including old fields and roadside ditches.
Cow vetch is in the family Fabaceae and similar to a pea in growth habit with climbing stems growing to 150 cm long, perennial, sending out noose-like branched tendrils from the tips of its leaves when it contacts another plant and securely fastens itself. This can cause "strangling" of smaller plants. An individual plant may reach a length (or height) of 2 m with a white taproot, which may extend up to 1 m. The leaves are 3–8 cm long, pinnate, with 8–12 pairs of leaflets, each leaflet 5–10 mm long.
The plant is fast-growing and flowers prolifically, sending out 10 to 40 flowered one-sided racemes cascading pea-flower shaped purple to violet flowers from the leaf axil during its late spring to late summer flowering period. The flowers are mostly visited by bumblebees; when the flowers drop off and tiny bright green seed pods 10–20 mm long, start to form. Cow vetch is very similar to hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), but is distinguished from the latter by its smooth stem.
The seed pods are 2 cm long and contain 6 to 8 seeds. They resemble those of a very small pea. The tiny seeds within are ripe when the pods have turned black. Unripened seeds are swollen and have a green tint to them, but they unswell when they become ripe. The seed pods vary from light brown to dark brown with black spots.
Vicia cracca is native to Europe and Asia, and has been introduced to large areas of North America.
Recorded as very frequent on waste ground as an introduced species occurring casually. In hedges and waste places.
Cow vetch is widely used as a forage crop for cattle, and is beneficial to other plants because, like other leguminous plants, it enriches the soil in which it grows by its nitrogen-fixing properties. Cow vetch is also much appreciated by bees and butterflies as a source of nectar. The plant may also be used to curb erosion.
Owners of pet birds such as budgerigars often use cow vetch as a nutritious food; the birds are especially fond of the seeds but may also eat the foliage.
Its utility as a cover crop and source of green manure has encouraged the introduction and naturalisation of cow vetch far beyond its native range. In North America the plant is naturalised from southern Canada to upstate South Carolina; it is considered an invasive weed in some areas and its sale may be regulated.
Cow vetch can be a potentially detrimental species in areas where it is not native. The vetch may crowd out native plants, especially in areas of disturbed soil where the vetch may dominate before other plants have a chance to take hold. This is especially a concern in prairie and other natural habitat restoration or land reclamation projects in North America.
Pastoral Symphony (Vaughan Williams)

Ralph Vaughan Williams's Symphony No. 3, published as Pastoral Symphony and not numbered until later, was completed in 1922. Vaughan Williams's inspiration to write this symphony came during World War I after hearing a bugler practising and accidentally playing an interval of a seventh instead of an octave; this ultimately led to the trumpet cadenza in the second movement.
The work is among the least performed of Vaughan Williams's symphonies, but has gained the reputation of being a subtly beautiful elegy for the dead of World War I and a meditation on the sounds of peace. Like many of the composer's works, the Pastoral Symphony is not programmatic, but its spirit is evocative. None of the movements are particularly fast or upbeat (the composer himself described it as "four movements, all of them slow"), but there are isolated extroverted sections.
It was first performed in London on 26 January 1922 with Adrian Boult conducting.
The symphony was dismissed by Constant Lambert, who wrote that its "creation of a particular type of grey, reflective, English-landscape mood has outweighed the exigencies of symphonic form". Peter Warlock's often-quoted comment that "it is all just a little too much like a cow looking over a gate" was in fact a comment on Vaughan Williams's style in general, and was not aimed specifically at the Pastoral Symphony, which he on the contrary described as "a truly splendid work" and "the best English orchestral music of this century". Vaughan Williams emphasized, however, that the work is "not really Lambkins frisking at all as most people take for granted" (i.e., English pastoral scenery); its reference is to the fields of France during World War I, where the composer served in the Royal Army Medical Corps.
The symphony is in four movements:
A typical performance of the symphony lasts about 35 minutes. It is scored for a large orchestra including: 3 flutes (3rd doubling on piccolo), 2 oboes, cor anglais, 3 clarinets (in B♭ and A; 3rd doubling on bass clarinet), 2 bassoons, 4 horns (in F), 3 trumpets (in C, 1 doubling on natural trumpet in E♭), 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, bass drum, celesta, harp, and strings, plus a wordless soprano in the 4th movement.

Instituto Politécnico do Porto

O Politécnico do Porto (abreviado P.PORTO, ou IPP para efeitos legais) é um instituto politécnico público português, com sede no Porto.
O Politécnico do Porto foi fundado a 25 de fevereiro, em 1985, integrando a Escola Superior de Educação e a Escola Superior de Música (mais tarde Escola Superior de Música, Artes e Espectáculo).
Antes disso, em 1852, é fundada a Escola Industrial do Porto, mais tarde designada por Instituto Industrial e Comercial do Porto. Em 1918 o Instituto Industrial e o Instituto Comercial separam-se. Em 1975 o Instituto Industrial do Porto altera a designação para Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, integrando o ensino universitário, e em 1976 o mesmo acontece com o Instituto Comercial, que altera a designação para Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto, integrando o ensino universitário.
Em 1990 é criada a Escola Superior de Estudos Industriais e de Gestão, com dois pólos divididos pela cidade de Vila do Conde e Póvoa de Varzim, e, em 1999, é criada a Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão de Felgueiras.
Em 2004, a Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde é integrada no Instituto Politécnico do Porto.
Em 2016, por ocasião do seu 31.º aniversário, o Politécnico do Porto apresentou oficialmente a sua nova imagem corporativa, segundo a qual passa a ser referido como P.PORTO. A mudança é acompanhada por uma reformulação da oferta formativa, com a criação de duas novas escolas: a Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo e a Escola Superior de Media Artes e Design (ambas no Campus 2).

Mohamed Bouazizi

Tarek al-Tayyib Muhammad ibn Bouazizi (Sidi Bouzid, 29 de março de 1984 – Ben Arous, 4 de janeiro de 2011), mais conhecido como Mohamed Bouazizi (em árabe: محمد البوعزيزي‎) foi um vendedor de rua tunisino cuja autoimolação no dia 17 de dezembro de 2010 foi o estopim dos protestos na Tunísia que levaram ao então presidente Ben Ali a renunciar depois de 23 anos no poder.
Bouazizi perdeu seu pai quando tinha 3 anos e desde os 10 ele trabalhava nas ruas depois do colégio, apesar disso estudou e se formou em engenharia, mas como não conseguiu arranjar um emprego formal, começou a vender frutas e legumes para se manter e ajudar sua família. Bouazizi ajudava sua mãe e irmã através de uma renda de 75 dólares mensais.
Na sexta feira, 17 de dezembro de 2010, Mohamed Bouazizi colocou fogo em si mesmo e morreu 18 dias depois às 17h30 na terça-feira, 4 de janeiro de 2011 em um hospital na cidade de Ben Aros. 5 000 pessoas participaram da procissão funerária.
As autoridades da cidade confiscaram o carrinho de frutas de Bouazizi, alegando ser ilegal a venda ambulante na Tunísia. Assim, Mohamed decidiu ir à sede do governo regional para tentar defender seu caso com o governador, pois tinha poucas opções para ganhar a vida. Após receber um não ao seu pedido, comprou duas garrafas de diluente e colocou fogo em si mesmo na frente do prédio.
Autoridades disseram que Bouazizi não tinha permissão para vender nas ruas, porém de acordo com Hamdi Lazhar (ministro do trabalho) nenhuma permissão é necessária para vender com um carrinho. Salem e Samia Bouazizi, respectivamente mãe e irmã de Bouazizi, afirmaram que autoridades tentaram por diversas vezes extorquir dinheiro do vendedor ambulante.
Também foi relatado que Mohamed foi humilhado publicamente quando uma funcionária municipal rasgou a Lei que ele havia impresso para mostrar que estava trabalhando legalmente, deu-lhe um tapa no rosto e o cuspiu, confiscando sua balança e jogando fora suas frutas. O fato de ela ser uma mulher, tornou a humilhação ainda maior. "Assim ele ficou irritado," disse Rochde Horchane, seu primo. Bouazizi foi reclamar com o governador local, mas ele não quis ouvir. "Meu primo falou, Se você não me olhar, eu vou me queimar," disse Horchane.
Ele deixou uma mensagem para sua mãe no Facebook pedindo perdão por ter perdido a esperança em tudo e disse que a culpa era dos tempos ruins que a humanidade passava. Então ele comprou diluente, encharcou-se em frente ao prédio do governo local e pôs-se em chamas, como era muito conhecido as testemunhas conseguiram impedir a morte imediata mas cerca de 99% do corpo havia sido queimado. Ele foi então transferido para um hospital perto de Túnis e morreu no dia 4 de janeiro de 2011. O fato do ditador ter ido visitá-lo (achando que seria melhor para sua imagem) e pedido para os médicos pararem o tratamento para tirar uma foto com ele gerou ódio e repúdio de grande parte da população e a partir daí houve o grande início da primavera árabe.
Em outubro de 2011 o Parlamento Europeu distinguiu cinco personalidades ligadas à Primavera Árabe, entre as quais Bouazizi, com o Prémio Sakharov.

Edimburgo dos Sete Mares

Edimburgo dos Sete Mares (em inglês: Edinburgh of the Seven Seas) é a capital (e única povoação) da ilha de Tristão da Cunha. Fica situada numa fajã na extremidade noroeste da ilha. Tem 312 habitantes, todos de origem inglesa.
Edimburgo dos Sete Mares é considerada a povoação humana mais remota do mundo, situando-se a 2 173 km do mais próximo local habitado, a ilha de Santa Helena. O lugar possui um porto, uma escola e um posto de correios.
O assentamento foi fundado na ilha de Tristão da Cunha em 1816 pelo sargento escocês William Glass, depois que o Reino Unido anexou a ilha. Uma guarnição militar foi mantida nas ilhas como guarda contra qualquer tentativa francesa de resgatar Napoleão, que foi preso em Santa Helena. A guarnição militar permaneceu até o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial.
O povoado é nomeado em homenagem ao Príncipe Alfred, Duque de Edimburgo, o segundo filho da Rainha Vitória, em homenagem à sua visita à ilha em 1867.
Edinburgo dos Sete Mares é o único grande assentamento de Tristão da Cunha, e contém um pequeno porto, a residência do Administrador e os Correios.
O povoado foi danificada em uma erupção vulcânica na ilha em 1961, que forçou toda a população a abandonar o assentamento e evacuar para Calshot, Hampshire, no Reino Unido. A erupção destruiu a fábrica de lagostim do assentamento.
Após o retorno da maioria dos ilhéus em 1963, o assentamento foi reconstruído. O porto de Edimburgo foi chamado de Porto de Calshot, em homenagem a cidade onde os ilhéus residiram durante o período de reconstrução.
Os assuntos locais da ilha são gerenciados pelo Conselho da Ilha, uma administração de 14 membros que se reúne seis vezes por ano e é eleita a cada três anos.
Lumiar School

Lumiar School is a democratic school for children from 0 to 14 years old created in 2014 by Brazilian business man Ricardo Semler with some assistance from the Gates Foundation and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Originally three Lumiar schools were created but now there are reportedly eight, such as in the city of São Paulo, Poços de Caldas, Sto Antonio do Pinhal, Porto Alegre in Brazil; Kent and Stowford in UK.
Aracruz school shootings

On November 25, 2022, two spree shootings occurred at two schools in Aracruz, Espírito Santo, Brazil. A 16-year-old former student of one of the schools, Gabriel Rodrigues Castiglioni, shot four people to death, including a 12-year-old girl. Eleven others were left wounded and the gunman fled before later being arrested at his family's residence, approximately four hours after the murders.
Gabriel Rodrigues Castiglioni was reportedly active in online neo-Nazi communities which promoted accelerationism - including Terrorgram. In addition to this, the attire he wore during the attacks bore a strong resemblance to the uniforms worn by members of the terrorist organization Atomwaffen Division. A homemade flag of Nazi Germany was also worn on the shoulder sleeve of Rodrigues' camouflage. And used the Brazilian Army uniform camouflage including his hat.
The weapons used in the attacks belonged to Rodrigues' father, a Military Police lieutenant. He claimed to have begun planning the attack since 2019, when he was bullied at his school. Rodrigues would handle his father's guns in secret and taught himself how to use them using internet tutorials.
The shootings began at around 9:30 a.m. and occurred at two schools located on the same street. During the shootings, the gunman wore camouflaged clothing, an armband with a swastika, a skull mask, and a bucket hat. He broke into the Primo Bitti Elementary and Middle School, a public school serving elementary and middle school students, after destroying the lock to the entrance gate. There, he shot 11 people, murdering two teachers at the scene. A third teacher succumbed to her the wounds she was left with and died a day later in the care of medics.
Afterwards, the gunman drove to the Educational Center Praia de Coqueiral, a private school. Entering at 9:49 a.m. through the unlocked gates using the same method of destroying the lock, he shot two people and additionally murdered a 6th-grade 12-year-old girl. Rodrigues fled again a minute later and remained at large for approximately 4 hours, where he stayed at his home. During his time at large, he stayed in his family's residence, stored the weapons out of sight, ate lunch with his parents and went with them to their family's beach property. His parents found out of their son's actions later that day, when the Military Police arrested him at their home. The police later issued a statement confirming that a suspect was in custody.
The victims of the attacks were identified by multiple news sources:
After the shootings, Aracruz announced the suspension of all classes at municipal schools. The mayor of Aracruz said the murders were "the largest tragedy this city has ever seen". Renato Casagrande, the governor of Espírito Santo, said he would pay attention to the case with "much regret and sadness". He also declared three days of official mourning in the state. President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva posted on Twitter, "My solidarity to the families of the victims in this absurd tragedy."
In December 2022, Rodrigues Castiglioni was sentenced to 3 years' juvenile detention, the harshest criminal penalty available for minors in Brazil.
Pitzuchim

In Israel, Pitzuchim (Hebrew: פיצוחים, lit. crackables) is a colloquial term referring to varieties of nuts and seeds that are cracked open with ones' teeth and eaten as a snack.
Among the popular Pitzuchim are sunflower seeds (also called "גרעינים שחורים", "black seeds"), pumpkin seeds (also known as "גרעינים לבנים", "white seeds"), and watermelon seeds. Pitzuchim are a popular snack at soccer games. Less popular varieties of Pitzuchim include more expensive nuts, such as pistachios, Brazil nuts, cashews, almonds and more.
The Israeli Ministry of Health recommends that children under the age of five not be allowed to eat Pitzuchim because of the danger of suffocation. In addition, consuming large amounts of kernels without removing the shell can cause bowel obstruction.
Pitzuchim are commonly sold in the form of pre-packaged plastic bags in supermarket and local grocery stores, or by weight in health food stores or kiosks that include a stall of Pitzuchim. A kiosk that sells Pitzuchim is called a "פיצוחיה" or "פיצוציה", Pitzuchiya or Pitzutziya, where the nuts or seeds are usually roasted on location and sold by weight, often packaged in brown paper bags.

Glossary of graffiti

A number of words and phrases that have come to describe different styles and aspects of graffiti and its subculture. Like other jargon and colloquialisms, some of these terms may vary regionally, taking on different meanings across different cities and countries. The following terminology originates primarily in the United States.
Acquiring supplies through various forms of fraud can also be referred to as "racking" in some circles, though this use is far less common, as is likewise the use of fraud as a means to acquire writing supplies (largely reserved only for items that cannot be conveniently shoplifted, such as those in locked cages or behind display counters).
Back before camera-phones/smartphones and the proliferation of social media websites, watching to see whether your work gets left alone used to be the only feedback from strangers you had to go off of. It may also be referred to as, capping (see, cap (2)), crossing out, dissing, going over, hating, marking, or to line, as in, "I lined their tag."

पद्मासन

शांति या सुख का अनुभव करना या बोध करना अलौकिक ज्ञान प्राप्त करने जैसा है, यह तभी संभव है, जब आप पूर्णतः स्वस्थ हों। अच्छा स्वास्थ्य प्राप्त करने के यूँ तो कई तरीके हैं, उनमें से ही एक आसान तरीका है योगासन व प्राणायाम करना। हम आपको पद्मासन से परिचित करवाते हैं-
विधि: जमीन पर बैठकर बाएँ पैर की एड़ी को दाईं जंघा पर इस प्रकार रखते हैं कि एड़ी नाभि के पास आ जाएँ। इसके बाद दाएँ पाँव को उठाकर बाईं जंघा पर इस प्रकार रखें कि दोनों एड़ियाँ नाभि के पास आपस में मिल जाएँ।
मेरुदण्ड सहित कमर से ऊपरी भाग को पूर्णतया सीधा रखें। ध्यान रहे कि दोनों घुटने जमीन से उठने न पाएँ। तत्पश्चात दोनों हाथों की हथेलियों को गोद में रखते हुए स्थिर रहें। इसको पुनः पाँव बदलकर भी करना चाहिए। फिर दृष्टि को नासाग्रभाग पर स्थिर करके शांत बैठ जाएँ।
स्मरण रहे कि ध्यान, समाधि आदि में बैठने वाले आसनों में मेरुदण्ड, कटिभाग और सिर को सीधा रखा जाता है और स्थिरतापूर्वक बैठना होता है। ध्यान समाधि के काल में नेत्र बंद कर लेना चाहिए। आँखे दीर्घ काल तक खुली रहने से आँखों की तरलता नष्ट होकर उनमें विकार पैदा हो जाने की संभावना रहती है।
यह आसन पाँवों की वातादि अनेक व्याधियों को दूर करता है। विशेष कर कटिभाग तथा टाँगों की संधि एवं तत्संबंधित नस-नाड़ियों को लचक, दृढ़ और स्फूर्तियुक्त बनाता है। श्वसन क्रिया को सम रखता है। इन्द्रिय और मन को शांत एवं एकाग्र करता है।

ध्यान (योग)

ध्यान हिन्दू धर्म, भारत की प्राचीन शैली और विद्या के सन्दर्भ में महर्षि पतंजलि द्वारा विरचित योगसूत्र में वर्णित अष्टांगयोग का एक अंग है। ये आठ अंग यम, नियम, आसन, प्राणायाम, प्रत्याहार, धारणा, ध्यान तथा समाधि है। ध्यान का अर्थ किसी भी एक विषय की धारण करके उसमें मन को एकाग्र करना होता है। मानसिक शांति, एकाग्रता, दृढ़ मनोबल, ईश्वर का अनुसंधान, मन को निर्विचार करना, मन पर काबू पाना जैसे कई उद्दयेशों के साथ ध्यान किया जाता है। ध्यान का प्रयोग भारत में प्राचीनकाल से किया जाता है। तथा भारत मे प्राचीन काल से ही गुरुकुल मे ध्यान की प्रक्रिया चलाई जाती हैं और ध्यान करना भारत मे खोजा गया है
ध्यान करने के लिए व्यक्ति की रुचि के अनुसार अनेक प्रकार की पद्धति है जिसमें से कुछ पद्धतियाँ निम्न प्रकार की है:-
ध्यान करने के लिए स्वच्छ जगह पर स्वच्छ आसन पे बैठकर साधक अपनी आँखे बंध करके अपने मन को दूसरे सभी संकल्प-विकल्पो से हटाकर शांत कर देता है। और ईश्वर, गुरु, मूर्ति, आत्मा, निराकार परब्रह्म या किसी की भी धारणा करके उसमे अपने मन को स्थिर करके उसमें ही लीन हो जाता है। जिसमें ईश्वर या किसीकी धारणा की जाती है उसे साकार ध्यान और किसी की भी धारणा का आधार लिए बिना ही कुशल साधक अपने मन को स्थिर करके लीन होता है उसे योग की भाषा में निराकार ध्यान कहा जाता है। गीता के अध्याय-६ में श्रीकृष्ण द्वारा ध्यान की पद्धति का वर्णन किया गया है।
ध्यान करने के लिए पद्मासन, सिद्धासन, स्वस्तिकासन अथवा सुखासन में बैठा जा सकता है। शांत और चित्त को प्रसन्न करने वाला स्थल ध्यान के लिए अनुकूल है। रात्रि, प्रात:काल या संध्या का समय भी ध्यान के लिए अनुकूल है। ध्यान के साथ मन को एकाग्र करने के लिए प्राणायाम, नामस्मरण (जप), त्राटक का भी सहारा लिया जा सकता है। ध्यान में ह्रदय पर ध्यान केन्द्रित करना, ललाट के बीच अग्र भाग में ध्यान केन्द्रित करना, स्वास-उच्छवास की क्रिया पे ध्यान केन्द्रित करना, इष्टदेव या गुरु की धारणा करके उसमे ध्यान केन्द्रित करना, मन को निर्विचार करना, आत्मा पे ध्यान केन्द्रित करना जैसी कई पद्धतियाँ है। ध्यान के साथ प्रार्थना भी कर सकते है। साधक अपने गुरु के मार्गदर्शन और अपनी रुचि के अनुसार कोई भी पद्धति अपनाकर ध्यान कर सकता है।
ध्यान के अभ्यास के प्रारंभ में मन की अस्थिरता और एक ही स्थान पर एकांत में लंबे समय तक बैठने की अक्षमता जैसी परेशानीयों का सामना करना पड़ता है। निरंतर अभ्यास के बाद मन को स्थिर किया जा सकता है और एक ही आसन में बैठने के अभ्यास से ये समस्या का समाधान हो जाता है। सदाचार, सद्विचार, यम, नियम का पालन और सात्विक भोजन से भी ध्यान में सरलता प्राप्त होती है।
ध्यान का अभ्यास आगे बढ़ने के साथ मन शांत हो जाता है जिसको योग की भाषा में चित्तशुद्धि कहा जाता है। ध्यान में साधक अपने शरीर, वातावरण को भी भूल जाता है और समय का भान भी नहीं रहता। उसके बाद समाधिदशा की प्राप्ति होती है। योगग्रंथो के अनुसार ध्यान से कुंडलिनी शक्ति को जागृत किया जा सकता है और साधक को कई प्रकार की शक्तियाँ प्राप्त होती है। पतंजलि योग में मुख्य आठ प्रकार की शक्तियों का वर्णन किया गया है।
स्वामी सत्यपति परिव्राजक

स्वामी सत्यपति परिव्राजक ( १९२७ -- ४ फरवरी २०२१) आर्यसमाज के सन्यासी, योगदर्शन के प्रकाण्ड विद्वान तथा लेखक, उपदेशक थे। उनका मूल नाम 'मुंशीखान' था। उन्हें योग में व्यावहारिक प्रशिक्षण देने के लिए पूरे भारत की यात्रा करने के लिए भी जाना जाता है। आपने गुजरात के अहमदाबाद से लगभग ९० किसी. की दूरी पर रोजड़ नामक स्थान पर एक विस्तृत भूभाग पर दर्शन योग महाविद्यालय की स्थापना की।
स्वामी सत्यपति का जन्म सन 1927 में हरियाणा के रोहतक जिले के फरमाणा गांव में एक मुसलमान परिवार में हुआ था। उनके पिता का नाम मोलड़ खान और माता का नाम बांखा देवी था। उनकी आर्थिक स्थिति अत्यन्त दयनीय थी। पिता कपड़े धोने का कम करते थे। उन्हें बाँसुरी बजाने का बड़ा शौक था। उन्हें 19 वर्ष की आयु तक कोई औपचारिक शिक्षा नहीं मिली थी। उन्होंने गांव के ही कुछ लोगों की मदद से स्वयं अपनी पढ़ाई-लिखाई की पहल की और हिन्दी वर्णमाला सीखी।
वर्ष 1947 में जब भारत का विभाजन हुआ तो उन्होंने अपनी आंखों के सामने हजारों निर्दोष लोगों, महिलाओं और बच्चों की हत्या होते देखी। उस नरसंहार ने उन्हें इतना व्यथित किया कि उनके हृदय में वैराग्य की भावना पैदा हो गई। इसके बाद उन्होंने अपने सारे पारिवारिक संबंधों को समाप्त कर दिया और 'सत्य' की खोज में निकल पड़े। लगभग २२ वर्ष की आयु में उन्होने घर छोड़ दिया। पहले दयानन्द मठ गये और फिर झज्जर गुरुकुल चले गये। झज्जर गुरुकुल के स्वामी ओमनन्द ने उन्हें मुंशीखान से मनुदेव में दीक्षित किया। यहीं उन्होंने ठीक से पढ़ना-लिखना सीखा और शीघ्र संस्कृत के प्रकाण्ड पण्डित हो गये। मनुदेव ने मुस्लिम मन्यताओं को छोड़कर आर्य समाज के सिद्धान्तों को धारण कर लिया।
सबसे अधिक वे महर्षि दयानन्द सरस्वती की शिक्षाओं से प्रेरित थे। उन्होंने अष्टांग योग की भी दीक्षा ली। प्रामाणिक पतंजलि योग के प्रसार के लिए उन्होंने अपने जीवन को समर्पित कर दिया।
योग शिविरों का आयोजन करके उन्होंने हजारों लोगों को आध्यात्मिक मार्ग की ओर प्रेरित किया। वेद-दर्शन,उपनिषदों का ज्ञान, प्रशिक्षण और सहायता देने के लिए उन्होंने दर्शन योग महाविद्या, आर्ष गुरुकुल और विश्व कल्याण धर्मार्थ ट्रस्ट जैसे आदर्श संस्थानों की स्थापना की।
ब्रह्म मुद्रा

ब्रह्म मुद्रा योग की एक अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण मुद्रा है। यह योग की लुप्त हुई क्रियाओं में से एक है और इसके बारे में बहुत कम ज्ञान उपलब्ध है। इसके अंतर्गत ब्रह्ममुद्रा के तीन मुख और भगवान दत्तात्रेय के स्वरूप को स्मरण करते हुए कोई साधक तीन दिशाओं में अपना सिर घुमाता है। इसी कारण इसे ब्रह्ममुद्रा कहा जाता है। यह मुद्रा गर्दन के लिए विशेष लाभदायक तो है ही, और जन साधारण लोगों के लिए जबकि लोग अनिद्रा, तनाव, मानसिक अवसाद जैसे रोगों से ज्यादा घिर रहे हैं एक अचूक उपाय है।
ब्रह्म मुद्रा में कमर सीधी रखते हुए पद्मासन में बैठना होता है। वैसे वज्रासन या सिद्धासन में भी बैठा जा सकता है। फिर अपने हाथों को घुटनों पर और कंधों को ढीला छोड़कर गर्दन को धीरे-धीरे दस बार ऊपर-नीचे करना होता है। सिर को पीछे की झुकने देते हैं। गर्दन को चलाते समय श्वास क्रिया को सामान्य रूप से चलने देते हैं और आंखें खुली रखते हैं। इस के साथ ही गर्दन को झटका दिए बिना दाएं-बाएं भी बारी-बारी से चलाना होता है।
ठोड़ी कंधे की सीध में रखते हैं। दाएं-बाएं दस बार गर्दन घुमाने के बाद पूरी गोलाई में यथासंभव गोलाकार घुमाकर इस क्रम में कानों को कंधों से छुआते हैं। इसी का अभ्यास लगातार करने को ब्रह्ममुद्रा योग कहा जाता है। इसके चार से पांच चक्र तक किये जा सकते हैं। यह मुद्रा करते हुए ध्यान रखना चाहिये कि मेरुदंड पूर्ण रूप से सीधा रहना चाहिये। इसके अलावा जिस गति से गर्दन ऊपर जाये, उसी गति से गर्दन नीचे भी लानी चाहिये। सर्वाइकल स्पॉन्डिलोसिस या अवटु ग्रंथि की निम्नसक्रियता तथा अतिसक्रियता (थायरॉयड) के रोगियों को ध्यान रखना चाहिये कि वे ठोड़ी को ऊपर की ओर दबायें। गर्दन को नीचे की ओर ले जाते समय कंधे न झुकायें, कमर, गर्दन व कंधे सीधे रखें। गले या गर्दन का कोई गंभीर रोग होने पर चिकित्सक की सलाह के बाद ही अभ्यास करें।
ब्रह्ममुद्रा योग करने से आवश्यकता से अधिक नींद आने या नींद न आने की समस्या दूर होती है। ध्यान या साधना और अपने काम में मन लगने लगता है और आलस्य भी कम होता जाता है। अध्ययन करने वाले छात्रों के लिए यह विशेष लाभदायक होता है, क्योंकि इससे पढ़ाई की थकान दूर होती ह और आंखों की कमजोरी भी दूर होती है। इससे चक्कर नहीं आते। जिन्हें ज्यादा सपने आते हैं उन्हें इससे विशेष लाभ होता है तथा बदलते मौसम के सर्दी-जुकाम और खांसी से छुटकारा भी मिलता है।
खेचरी

खेचरी मुद्रा योगसाधना की एक मुद्रा है। इस मुद्रा में चित्त एवं जिह्वा दोनों ही आकाश की ओर केंद्रित किए जाते हैं जिसके कारण इसका नाम 'खेचरी' पड़ा है (ख = आकाश, चरी = चरना, ले जाना, विचरण करना)। इस मुद्रा की साधना के लिए पद्मासन में बैठकर दृष्टि को दोनों भौहों के बीच स्थिर करके फिर जिह्वा को उलटकर तालु से सटाते हुए पीछे रंध्र में डालने का प्रयास किया जाता है। इस स्थित में चित्त और जीभ दोनों ही 'आकाश' में स्थित रहते हैं, इसी लिये इसे 'खेचरी' मुद्रा कहते हैं । इसके साधन से मनुष्य को किसी प्रकार का रोग नहीं होता ।
इसके लिये जिह्वा को बढ़ाना आवश्यक होता है। जिह्वा को लोहे की शलाका से दबाकर बढ़ाने का विधान पाया जाता है। कौल मार्ग में खेचरी मुद्रा को प्रतीकात्मक रूप में 'गोमांस भक्षण' कहते हैं। 'गौ' का अर्थ इंद्रिय अथवा जिह्वा और उसे उलटकर तालू से लगाने को 'भक्षण' कहते हैं।
योगमार्ग की एक महान क्रिया :-
योगमार्ग में "खेचरी मुद्रा" को 'योगियों की माँ' कहकर सम्बोधित किया गया है। जिस प्रकार माँ अपनी सन्तान का पालन पोषण सभी संकट हटाकर करती है, ठीक उसी प्रकार खेचरी की शरण में रहने वाला साधक सदैव उसकी कृपा का पात्र बनता है। राजस्थान के पुष्कर निवासी योगीराज,परिव्राजक स्वामी श्री ब्रह्मानन्द जी के कथनानुसार -
"सुनो खेचरी बात साधो,सुनो खेचरी बात रे।।
सबसे बड़ी खेचरी मुद्रा,योगी जन की मात रे।
जो जन साधन करत निरन्तर,भव सागर तर जात रे।।
जीभ तले की नाड़ कटे जब,तब पीछे उलटात रे।
धीरे-धीरे गल के ऊपर,छेद मांही ठहरात रे।।
पीछे ध्यान धरे भृकुटी में,कांपे सब ही गात रे ।
ब्रह्मज्योति का दर्शन होवे,झरे सुधा दिन रात रे।।
दिन-दिन ध्यान करे जब योगी,काया सुध बिसरात रे ।
"ब्रह्मानन्द" स्वरूप समावे,फेर जन्म नहि आत रे।।"
को व्यक्त करते निम्नलिखित दो श्लोक इसे स्पष्ट कर देते है.....
१) "कपालकुहरे जिव्हा प्रविष्टा विपरितगा।
ध्यानं भ्रूमध्यदेशे च मुद्रा भवति खेचरी।।"
२) "खेचरियोगतो योगी शिरश्चंद्रादुपागतम्।
रसंदिव्यंपिबेन्नित्यं सर्वव्याधिविनाशनम्।।"
योग की इस महान क्रिया का साधक आज के इस युग में दुर्लभ है, योग की इस क्रिया को सदैव योगी,साधक गुरु के सानिध्य में ही सीखने का प्रयास करें।
मत्स्येंद्रनाथ

मत्स्येंद्रनाथ अथवा मचिन्द्रनाथ ८४ महासिद्धों इनका जन्म मछली से माना जाता है । हिन्दु धर्म के नाथ ( जोगी ) शाखा के योगी में से एक थे। इनके गुरु दतात्रे जी थे ओर ये गोरखनाथ के गुरु थे जिनके साथ उन्होंने हठयोग विद्यालय की स्थापना की। उन्हें संस्कृत में हठयोग की प्रारम्भिक रचनाओं में से एक कौलजणाननिर्णय (कौल परंपरा से संबंधित ज्ञान की चर्चा) के लेखक माना जाता है। वो हिन्दू समुदायों में प्रतिष्ठित हैं। मचिन्द्रनाथ को नाथ प्रथा के संस्थापक भी माना जाता है।मचिन्द्रनाथ को उनके सार्वभौम शिक्षण के लिए "विश्वयोगी" भी कहा जाता है।
गोरखनाथ को उनके सबसे सक्षम शिष्यो मे माना जाता है।
धनतेरस

कार्तिक माह (पूर्णिमान्त) की कृष्ण पक्ष की त्रयोदशी तिथि के दिन समुद्र-मंन्थन के समय भगवान धन्वन्तरि अमृत कलश लेकर प्रकट हुए थे, इसलिए इस तिथि को धनतेरस या धनत्रयोदशी के नाम से जाना जाता है। भारत सरकार ने धनतेरस को राष्ट्रीय आयुर्वेद दिवस के रूप में मनाने का निर्णय लिया है।
जैन आगम में धनतेरस को 'धन्य तेरस' या 'ध्यान तेरस' भी कहते हैं। भगवान महावीर इस दिन तीसरे और चौथे ध्यान में जाने के लिये योग निरोध के लिये चले गये थे। तीन दिन के ध्यान के बाद योग निरोध करते हुये दीपावली के दिन निर्वाण को प्राप्त हुये। तभी से यह दिन धन्य तेरस के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुआ।
इस अवसर पर बर्तन खरीदने की परम्परा है। कहीं कहीं लोकमान्यता के अनुसार यह भी कहा जाता है कि इस दिन धन (वस्तु) खरीदने से उसमें तेरह गुणा वृद्धि होती है। इस अवसर पर लोग धनियाँ के बीज खरीद कर भी घर में रखते हैं। दीपावली के बाद इन बीजों को लोग अपने बाग-बगीचों में या खेतों में बोते हैं।
धनतेरस के दिन चाँदी खरीदने की भी प्रथा है; जिसके सम्भव न हो पाने पर लोग चाँदी के बने बर्तन खरीदते हैं। लोग इस दिन दीपावली की रात लक्ष्मी, गणेश की पूजा हेतु मूर्ति भी खरीदते हैं।
धनतेरस की शाम घर के बाहर मुख्य द्वार पर और आंगन में दीप जलाने की प्रथा भी है। इस दिन घर से बाहर दक्षिण दिशा की ओर दीप जलाकर रखते हैं।
धनतेरस के सन्दर्भ में एक लोक कथा प्रचलित है कि एक बार यमदूतों ने यमराज से प्रश्न किया कि अकाल मृत्यु से बचने का कोई उपाय है क्या। इस प्रश्न का उत्तर देते हुए यम देवता ने कहा कि जो प्राणी धनतेरस की संध्या यम के नाम पर दक्षिण दिशा में दीया जलाकर रखता है उसकी अकाल मृत्यु नहीं होती है। इस मान्यता के अनुसार धनतेरस की संध्या लोग आँगन में यम देवता के नाम पर दीप जलाकर रखते हैं। इस दिन लोग यम देवता के नाम पर व्रत भी रखते हैं।
धन्वन्तरि देवताओं के चिकित्सक है और चिकित्सा के देवता हैं, इसलिए चिकित्सकों के लिए धनतेरस का दिन बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण होता है। कहा जाता है कि समुद्र मन्थन के समय भगवान धन्वन्तरि और माँ लक्ष्मी का जन्म हुआ था, यही कारण है कि धनतेरस को भगवान धन्वन्तरि और माँ लक्ष्मी की पूजा की जाती है । धनतेरस दिवाली के दो दिन पहले मनाया जाता है।
