Ute Bock – Austria
Ute Bock worked professionally for many years as a social worker and educator/teacher, before she became director of the Zohmanngasse Home in Vienna in 1976.. In the early 1990s, she started to take care of teenage immigrants. She also took in underage refugees from countries at war, who came to Austria on their own looking for asylum. Ute Bock was the last hope for many teenage immigrants for whom nobody else cared. Her small project has grown into a community of 50 apartments where over 200 people find a home. She has also provided a legal address and legal aid for more than 1000 immigrants so that they can pursue their asylum procedures.
She was born in Linz, Austria in 1942.
In the early 1990s, Ute Bock started to take care of teenage immigrants, who were sent to her by the youth welfare office. At first, they were mostly children of immigrant workers. But soon enough she also took in underage immigrants from countries at war, who came to Austria on their own looking for asylum. Zohmanngasse and Ute Bock were the last hope for many teenage immigrants for whom nobody else cared.
Any time a social or immigrant worker was at a loss, the teenagers were sent to Ute. At Zohmanngasse no youth was turned down, no matter where he or she came from. And when she ran out of space, Ute Bock organized and financed flat-sharing apartments for communal living.
During a police raid in September 1999 at her home, 30 youngsters and young adults from Africa were arrested on grounds of suspected drug dealing. Ute Bock was accused of dealing with drugs and supporting gangs. She was briefly suspended from her job. While the indictment and suspension were lifted, Ute Bock was not allowed to shelter African immigrants at her home any longer.
Ute Bock has won numerous awards for her social commitment. She was given the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) Refugee Award in 2000, the Bruno Kreisky Award for Human Rights in 2002, the Dr. Karl Renner Award in 2003, the Humanity Award by the Red Cross and the Spin the Globe Award from Siemens Austria in 2004.
Ute Bock retired in August 2000 and since then she has been working full time taking care of African immigrants, who like to call her ‘Mama Africa’. Her original small project has grown into a community of 50 apartments, where over 200 people find a home. Apart from this, she has provided a legal address and legal aid for more than a thousand immigrants, so that they can pursue their asylum procedures.
Ute Bock has been financing her project with her own pension, her savings, financial awards and donations.

Ayurveda (DevanÄgarÄ: आयुर्वेद, the ’science of life‘) is a system of traditional medicine native to India and practiced in other parts of the world as a form of alternative medicine. In Sanskrit, the word Ayurveda consists of the words Äyus, meaning ‚life‘, and veda, meaning ‚related to knowledge‘ or ’science‘. Evolving throughout its history, Ayurveda remains an influential system of medicine in South Asia. The earliest literature of Ayurveda appeared during the Vedic period in India. The Sushruta Samhita and the Charaka Samhita were influential works on traditional medicine during this era. Ayurvedic practitioners also identified a number of medicinal preparations and surgical procedures for curing various ailments and diseases. Ayurveda traces its origins to the Vedas—the Atharvaveda in particular—and is connected to Hindu religion.The Sushruta Samhita of Sushruta appeared during the 1st millennium BC.
Ayurveda, Rishis, die 4 VEDEN (Rgveda, Samaveda, Yajurveda, Arthavaveda) und deren Entstehung:
Der Begriff Äyurveda ist ein Wort aus dem Sanskrit, der altindischen Hochsprache, und heißt einfach übersetzt „Wissenschaft vom Leben“ oder „Wissen von der Lebensspanne“. Durch diese Bezeichnung versteht sich, dass im Äyurveda nicht nur Krankheiten behandelt werden. Als „Wissenschaft vom Leben“ hat Äyurveda ein zweifaches Ziel.

RADHA ANJALI – BHARATANATYAM
Verein für indische Kunst & Kultur in Wien
“yato hastas tato drstir, yato drstis tato manah, yato manas tato bhavo,yato bhavas tato rasah“ – Abhinayadarpana, Vers 37, Nandikesvara . Wo die Hände sind/sich hinbewegen dort ist der Blick, wo der Blick ist, ist der Geist,wo der Geist ist, ist das Gefühl, wo das Gefühl ist, ist (entsteht) Rasa.
Bharatanatyam (Tamil: பரதநாட்டியம்) is a classical Indian dance form originating in Tamil Nadu[1][2][3][4][5], now in India. This dance form denotes various 19th and 20th century reconstructions of Cathir, the art of temple dancers. Cathir in turn, is derived from ancient dance forms. Bharatanatyam is usually accompanied by the classical music. It has its inspirations from the sculptures of the ancient temple of Chidambaram. Bharatanatyam, as the name depicts is the combination of:
BHA- Bhava (Expression), RA- Raga (Music) and TA- Tala (Rhythm) Bharatanatyam is a traditional dance-form known for its grace, purity, tenderness, and sculpturesque poses. Today, it is one of the most popular and widely performed dance styles and is practiced by male and female dancers all over India.

LATE MANGESHKAR – BOLLYWOOD
Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar’s career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour.
Mangeshkar was featured in the Guiness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world. The claim was that she had recorded no less than 25,000 solo, duet, and chorus-backed songs in 20 Indian languages between 1948 to 1974 (30,000 songs between 1948 and 1987, according to the 1987 edition). Over the years, while several sources have supported this claim, others have raised concerns over its veracity, claiming that this number was highly exaggerated and that Mangeshkar’s sister, Asha Bhosle, had more song recordings than she had.
Bollywood (Hindi: बॉलीवुड) is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the Indian film industry. >> Bollywood << is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centers of film production in the world.
The name is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry.
Bollywood is more properly referred to as Hindi cinema, though frequent use of poetic Urdu words is fairly common. There has been a growing presence of Indian English in dialogue and songs as well. It is not uncommon to see films that feature dialogue with English words and phrases, or even whole sentences.

THE ARTS OF HARISH JOHARI
> HARISH´s AYURVEDA BOOKS & ARTS <
Harish Johari (1934-1999) was a distinguished North Indian author, Tantric scholar, poet,musician, composer, artist, and gemologist who held degrees in philosophy and literature and made it his life’s work to introduce the culture of his homeland to the West.
Breath, Mind, and Consciousness
YOGA, by the puplisher
Modern scientists are just now beginning to understand what yogis have known for centuries–that the life force animating our physical bodies is regulated by breath, and that the breath energy is controlled by the mind. The esoteric and practical science of Swar Yoga >–presented in this book for the first time in English–< teaches conscious observation and control of breathing patterns to maximize energy and vitality.
Tantric Scholar and author of Tools for Tantra, Chakras, and The Healing Power of Gemstones, HARISH JOHARI brings an in-depth knowledge of ancient Hindu sciences to this discussion of breath and the yoga of balanced living.
His is the first guidebook for Westerners to offer a comprehensive treatment of the subject, providing information from Sanskrit texts otherwise unavailable in the English Language. He explains the sensory network of the nose and its effect on the subtle channels of energy throughout the body, showing the direct link between the practice of conscious breathing and the electrochemical balance of the brain and nervous system. He also shows how the breath, alternating between left and right nostrils, is influenced by solar and lunar forces and how one can attune to these natural rhythms and universal laws for greater health and well-being.
SWARA YOGA, the ancient art of breathing
Johari’s mastery of > Swara Yoga < techniques is apparent in the broad scope of Breath, Mind and Consciousness: included are a discussion of the phases of the five elements in the breathing cycle, exercises for physical and psychic healing, the means for determining which nostril is active, and instructions for conceiving a son or a daughter.
While continuing his lifetime study and practice of tantra, HARISH JOHARI is a painter, sculptor, gemologist, and composer of Indian music.
The word SWARA in Sanskrit, means sound or musical note; it also means the continuous flow of air through one nostril. And we all know that YOGA means union. So Swara Yoga is the science which is about the realization of cosmic consciousness, through the awareness or observation, then control or manipulation of the flow of breath in the nostrils.
Swara yoga is an ancient tantric science which involves the systematic study of the breath flow through the nostrils (or swara) in relation to the prevailing phases of the moon, time of day and direction . Although we think of ‚pranayama‘ when we think of techniques associated with the breath, in Swara yoga, it is the association of the breath in relation to the activities or phases or positions of the sun, moon, planets, seasons, time of day, with the physical and mental conditions of the individual and then taking the appropriate action according to these subtle relations. For example, knowing the moon phases and checking the flow of your nostrils before you get out of bed in the morning and letting the corresponding foot be the first to touch the floor and make the first step, is a simple practice that ensures success in everything that happens for that day. The first foot to touch the ground will get the prevailing ’successful‘ flow of energy from the cosmos.

NADA YOGA AND PHILOSOPHY
NADA YOGA AND PHILOSOPHY
Indian music has its essence in a deep sense of spirituality along with roots in Yoga and Indian philosophy. The theme of the compositions is mostly devotional in nature, and many of them also convey abstruse philosophical concepts in a form that is easy to grasp. Music itself, when practised with commitment, is also a form of Yoga. Music has a tremendous effect on the mental state of human beings as it results in peace, concentration, relaxation, spiritual elevation etc, which are the principles of Yoga and meditation. The practice of Yoga techniques, such as breath control and mental concentration, are also closely allied to the study of instrument vocal music.
According to Hindu philosophy, the word for pure sound is Nada Brahma. Nada has also been described by some as the energy of Brahma and it is believed that the propitiation of Nada leads to the attainment of Moksha (salvation), which is the ultimate goal of human life. Matanga has described Nada in his Brihaddesi thus:
„There is no song or music without Nada, there are no musical notes without Nada, there is no dance without Nada and the world is filled with the essence of Nada“.
The word Nada refers to the physical, the mystic and the religious or the cosmic sound. The sound that is produced by musical instruments is an object of sensory perception, as it is grasped by the sense of hearing. This is called Ahata Nada. In this context, the human voice is also a musical instrument. As described by Dr Acharya Trigunateet Jaimini in the composition, Sobhillu Saptaswara, the entire body, including the abdomen (Nabhi), heart (Hrt), neck (Kantha), mouth (Rasana) and nasal passages (Nasa), aids in the production of the sound.
MIRABAI- Poet, Saint & Bhakti-Tradition
Die Verse der indischen Dichterin und Mystikerin
> Mirabai < (Devanagari मीराबाई, MÄrÄbÄÄ; * um 1498; † 1546) war eine indische Mystikerin und Dichterin. Sie ist nicht nur wegen ihrer eigenwilligen Persönlichkeit eine höchst faszinierende Frauengestalt der Religionsgeschichte. Ihre ganz persönlich gehaltenen ekstatischen Liebes-, Preis- und Klagelieder sind durch die Jahrhunderte lebendig geblieben und werden noch heute auf dem indischen Subkontinent von Hindus, Sikhs, Muslimen und Christen gleichermaßen rezitiert, gesungen und von den indischen Radiostationen ausgestrahlt. Es gibt zahlreiche Buchausgaben sowie CDs mit Vertonungen der Lieder und Mirabais Leben ist Gegenstand eines Spielfilms. Ihre Verse gehören zum Schatz der Weltliteratur und stehen neben denen der Dichter-Mystiker Hafis, Rumi, > Kabir (satguru, 99 Names of Allah < und > Hildegard von Bingen <.
Perhaps the most remembered and quoted woman in India history is a sixteenth century poet, singer and saint called Mirabai, or Meera. Versions of her songs are sung today all over India, and she appears as a subject in films, books, dances, plays and paintings. Even Mohandas Gandhi promoted her, seeing Mira as a symbol of a woman who has the right to chose her own path, forsake a life of luxury, and in nonviolent resistance find liberation.

Grand Tradition & the Search for Unity

Mârkandeya said: Lord of men, he who does not know properly the rules of chitra can, by no means, be able to discern the characteristics of image. . . .

The practice of dancing is difficult to be understood by one who is not acquainted with music. . . . without singing music cannot be understood. –Vishnudharmottara
> The Search for Unity: the Goal of Indian Aesthetics <
> Priyadarshi Patnaik: An Overview of Indian Aesthetics <
Introduction
Indian aesthetics is a vast field. Any attempt to discuss it in such a brief space as this can only be sketchy and deal with the broad tendencies. Hence, here I have only attempted to give its brief overview with reference to major trends. I begin with a few queries about the term “Indian Aesthetics” in the light of our Western orientation. Next I attempt to look at the grand text of Indian aesthetics–Nâtya Sâstra–and briefly discuss its contribution to an understanding of various art forms. From that point onwards, the focus is on Indian aesthetics with special focus on poetics, its important concepts and commentators – since many of the aesthetic issues dealt with in poetics are significant to dance, music, painting and sculpture. I manage only to touch upon a few points about other art forms; and neglect dance in the process. This is partly due to my orientation in poetics and partly due to my ignorance. But I hope that this brief discussion will encourage others to rectify this shortcoming and extend the discussion of Indian aesthetics in a more balanced and integrated manner.
