THE GREAT INDIAN YOGA MASTERS - A Tribute
TRACING 2500 YEARS OF YOGA 500 BCE to 21st centuryInitiated in India over 2,500 years ago, Yoga has since touched nearly every aspect of contemporary global consciousness. Over the centuries, it has responded to the practical and philosophical needs of seekers in myriad ways that has kept alive its freshness and relevance. In India, the traditional form of preserving a body of knowledge has always been through its transmission from master to student. Yoga has been codified, ratified, rejuvenated, and increasingly transmitted to the larger world through the works and teachings of Patanjali, Buddha, Swami Vivekananda, Paramhansa Yogananda, the Himalayan yogis, and Swami Sivananda Saraswati. The living, dynamic nature of Yoga can be seen from how it has changed through time, reinterpreted and transmuted by each master according to the needs of the age. This book seeks to trace the path of Yoga from its earliest historical mentions and down through its interpretations by the Indian masters of subsequent centuries.

BABASAHEB BHIMRAO RAMJI AMBEDKAR
Founding Father of The Indian Constitution, Integrated & Modern IndiaBhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (14th April, 1891-6th December, 1956), popularly known as Babasaheb, was one of the architects of the Indian Constitution. He was a well-known politician and an eminent jurist. Dr. Ambedkar’s efforts to eradicate social evils like untouchability and caste restrictions were remarkable. Throughout his life, he fought for the rights of the untouchables (Dalits) and other socially backward classes. He also strongly supported the rights of women and labour. Dr. Ambedkar was appointed as the nation’s first Law Minister in the Cabinet of Jawaharlal Nehru on 15th August, 1947. On August 29th, he was appointed Chairman of the Indian Constitution’s Drafting Committee. Historian Granville Austin described the Indian Constitution drafted by Ambedkar as ‘first and foremost a social document’. Dr. Ambedkar was awarded the Bharat Ratna in 1990.
