This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri and Manisha Pande are joined by The News Minute's Dhanya Rajendran and The Wire's Seema Chishti.The panel first discusses the recent crackdown on pro-Palestine student protests in US campuses and deportation of two Indian students, Ranjani Srinivasan and Badar Khan Suri. Dhanya says, “Ranjani insisted that she was not a huge part of the protest, but Indian newspapers had already labeled her a Hamas supporter”.As the panel draws parallels between what is happening in the US and the clampdown on student protests in India, Manisha says: “I always thought that in American universities, despite their issues, there was a certain freedom to voice your opinions. For that to go away is quite something to see."Abhinandan then moves to discussing if the concept of patriotism can be considered primitive. He says: “Patriotism is love for your country, but your country may be pursuing values based on whichever government is in power. And that value system may not align with yours.” As the panel debates what it means to be a patriot, Seema adds, “True patriotism should be about wanting better lives for fellow citizens, not blind devotion to the government."The panelists then talk about how the English news media gets to set the narrative in India. On regional media's limited influence compared to its English counterpart, Manisha says: "English newspapers still have an outsized influence because bureaucrats, judges, and policy-makers read them”. However, English news channels, she points out, “are losing relevance”. “Politicians now prefer giving interviews to local YouTubers and regional media because that's where the numbers and voters are”.This and a lot more.

John links up with Snarky Puppy founder and band leader Michael League to talk about how he wrote, recorded and produced the band's latest record ‘Empire Central', as well as works from Varijashree Venugopal and a new project, Ellipsis.  Michael League is an American producer, multi-instrumentalist, and founder of jazz fusion ensemble Snarky Puppy. Now with a reputation as one of the most innovative bands of the 21st century, constantly pushing the boundaries of improvisation and the styles they draw from, Snarky Puppy's 20 year back catalogue includes 16 albums, and five Grammy wins. Outside of the band, Michael has shared his production and writing talents on records from David Crosby, Becca Stevens, Varijashree Venugopal and many more. Speaking from his home studio in Spain, Michael digs into his production process, from crafting rough Logic demos and editing lengthy improvisations to blending global influences with Western jazz.

Ranjani first talks about her career in digital marketing working for digital agencies before landing her current role at Hubspot. We look at different opportunities in Hubspot's Marketing Hub and Ranjani explains a large part of a business's success is around segmentation and creating lists for different audiences. Personalisation is key and Hubspot allows users to communicate with their audience in several ways. When asked, Ranjani said one of the most successful ways to build automated journeys is via the customer's pipeline status or lifecycle stage. In terms of additional software, Canva is Ranjani's number one suggestion something she'd recommend to all marketers. This is a good episode to understand Hubspot Marketing Hubs and email marketing.

“We need to move away from animal derived materials, but we also need to move away from petroleum based traditional materials. So what is out there, what can we do? That demand is strong and supply is where the issue is.”  - Sydney Galdman     On June 12th the New York Times put out an article titled, How Fashion Giants Recast Plastic as Good for the Planet. The article, written by Hiroko Takeuchi, caused quite a stir within the Species Unite and I'm sure many other vegan communities. It criticizes something called the Higg Index, a suite of tools that assesses social and environmental impacts of products, including animal based and synthetic materials. The article left many people confused and I received a lot of emails asking me, “should we even be wearing vegan leather?” (The answer is yes.)   In order to be better able to explain what the article was really about, I needed some help. So, I reached out to my friend Nicole Rawling, the executive director at the Material Innovation Initiative (MII), the non-profit that's advancing next gen materials. Next gen materials are high performance, animal free and more sustainable for fashion, automotive and home goods. MII provides expertise while bringing all the key players together to get these materials from concept to commercialization.   Nicole introduced me to Sidney Gladman, the chief scientific officer at MII and Ranjani Theregowda, MII's environmental data scientist, so that they could answer my many questions about the article, about the future of materials as well as our current situation.

Every profound/elevating experience that we have had, has been where we have been singing, so music for us has been the bridge where we have experienced Transcendental or profound moments”, say Ranjani-Gayatri in their conversation with Venkatesh Mahadevan. Ranjani and Gayatri owe their rich musical heritage to their Gurus, Sri T.S. Krishnaswami who taught them violin and Sri.P.S. Narayanaswamy, who guides them now.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 259: Yoga in Schools with Crunch Ranjani Description: Should yoga be taught in schools? Recently an Alabama law banned yoga in schools and, inspired by a discussion in our Facebook group, our team member and resident writer Crunch Ranjani (she/her) wrote a fantastic article exploring all the elements of this debate. In this episode, she talks all about her process in creating the article, her research and her personal experience as a South Asian born to a Hindu family. Crunch  is a content creator for purpose-driven health and wellness professionals. She believes that we need more diversity, equity, and inclusion in our communities - so she loves working with business owners who do too. She helps them create valuable content that makes a positive impact in the world so that they have more time and energy to create change in their communities.  Crunch helps us to understand all the elements of the conversation around yoga and religion, including whether Sanskrit is a religious language, the connection between Hinduism and yoga, and why dividing out parts of yoga to make them more palatable to a white audience is harmful.  This is an open and honest conversation about cultural appropriation, the importance of having these discussions as yoga teachers and of understanding how our actions can be harmful to the tradition of yoga, and to the South Asian yoga teachers and students in our communities.  If you have wanted to learn more about cultural appropriation in yoga, or if you are new to this conversation and want to understand more, this is a great episode to understand the nuances of this important topic.   Key Takeaways: [4:45] Shannon introduces her guest for this episode - Crunch Ranjani. [8:37] What is the work that Crunch does, and who does she do it for? [10:04] What did it feel like to write an article on yoga in schools?  [11:39] Is the ban on yoga in Alabama schools still in place, and why is it there?  [12:55] What highlights about yoga in religion came up during Crunch's research? [13:34] Crunch explains some of the links between Hinduism and yoga. [15:45] When this thread was posted in our Facebook group, there was a lot of discussion around why Yoga might be connected to Hinduism, and understanding more about how cultural appropriation has worked. Crunch talks more about that.  [18:32] Shannon pops in with some ways that our sponsor OfferingTree can help support your yoga business, especially with time zones and Zoom links.  [20:28] One of the things that was put forward in the Alabama bill was to allow yoga in schools but to ban using Sanskrit. How did Crunch feel about that?  [21:01] Crunch shares which other languages are connected to religions and why it feels like a double standard.   [22:12] Is there a separation between church and state in all US states or just Alabama?  [25:41] Why is it that yoga is not allowed? Is it based in fear and if so, why? [28:10] If we allow some parts of yoga to be taught, could that be seen as progress? [32:55] Crunch explains why separating out parts of the practice of yoga is harmful.  [34:57] Why could the practice of gifting statues of Hindu or Deities as part of our yoga practice also be harmful?  [36:08] Crunch shares a great analogy on how we can and do change behavior when someone feels harmed or hurt by our actions.  [37:24] Shannon pops in with a quick message from Allison of the Yoga Teacher Conf to hear more about the social justice sessions that are taking place at the Conf.  [39:13] How does Crunch feel about the article now it is out in the world and what would she like readers to take from it? [40:02] Please leave comments below the article, beneath this podcast episode or in the Facebook group to share your takeaways on this topic.  [40:48] To find out more about Crunch's work, or to hire her, you can find her through her website, or message or follow Crunch on Instagram.   “It seemed to be that a lot of people were conflating yoga with religion because it has historically Hindu roots.” Crunch Ranjani    “The whole idea that Alabama is legislating certain aspects of what parts of yoga are ok in schools, and what parts are not, is what is really problematic about this whole bill.” Crunch Ranjani    “To me, it seems really strange that you can say that a language is religious or not religious, because to me language is a way to communicate with people, it is not necessarily religious in and of itself.”  Crunch Ranjani    “This is not progress, it is a form of cultural appropriation.” Crunch Ranjani    “If you are not sharing yoga in all of it's forms, why are you even calling it yoga?”  Crunch Ranjani    “Who does this law benefit, and who does it harm?” Crunch Ranjani    “Should we not consider this pain and this harm over the benefits that white people will get from practicing a simplified version of yoga?” Crunch Ranjani    “Maybe it is worth questioning personally, for anyone that feels that fear -  what exactly are you afraid of?” Crunch Ranjani  Links: Article - Teaching Yoga in Schools View Crunch's Other Articles  Pelvic Health Professionals Crunch Ranjani Episode 184: Is Yoga Cultural Appropriation with Dr Shailla Vaidya The Connected Yoga Teacher Facebook Group  Yoga is Dead Podcast Find Crunch on Instagram Yoga Teacher Conf  Gratitude to our Sponsors, OfferingTree and Yoga Teacher Conf

Ranjani ------- 2.62 &2.63 - Eight steps to a spiritual fall. Thinks of sense objects -attachment - desire -anger - delusion - loss of memory - destruction of discrimination - falls in life Attachment not so much to objects but to people has been a personal struggle. The world determines the emotional state of mind. We lose control. Reminds me to practice sense control. Theory is easy and practice is hard. Use these as a constant reflection. Attachment is not love. Attachment binds you, love sets you free. Love is unconditional, attachment is full of expectations. We are already completely detached.... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/happilyoga/message

This week, The Musafir Stories speaks to Ranjani and Raghavan from the blog Rararaasta!Today's destination: Tranquebar or Tharangambadi, Tamil NaduNearest Airport: Chennai International Airport, MAA Nearest Railway Station: Chidambaram Railway Station, CDMPrerequisites - N/APacking - Pack according to the weather as summers can be hot and humidTime of the year - November to February is a good time. Length of the itinerary: Weekend itinerary is ideal. Itinerary Highlights: - Ranjani and Raghavan cover the Tranquebar itinerary as a part of their 14 day road trip across Tamil Nadu. The couple kick off their tour from Chennai - make sure to enjoy a scenic drive on the ECR or Easter Coast Road. - En route Tranquebar, make sure to have pitstops at the numerous surfing cafes as well as the mangroves of Pichavaram, the second largest mangroves in the world. Enjoy a boat road in the mangrove forests, also the shooting location of numerous South Indian films, including Dasavathaaram. Listen to the stories of how the mangroves protected the nearby villages from the wrath of the 2004 Tsunami that devastated coastal Tamil Nadu. - Tranquebar is only a short distance from Pichavaram and the couple reach in time to enjoy a sunset by the beach as well as pay a quick visit to the museum. Tharangambadi, the original name of Tranquebar, translates to Land of singing waves, in Tamil and also happens to be one of the most ozone-rich beaches in the world!- The main attraction of Tranquebar or Tharangambadi is the Dansborg Fort built by the Danish East India company in 1620. Tranquebar was one of the two settlements of the Danish and was leased to them by the Thanjavur Nayaks in 1620 for a sum of 3111 rupees annually. - The fort is in a decent condition and houses a garrison and a small museum inside, the Fort is closed to the public on Fridays, so plan your visit accordingly - Also worth a mention is the property in which Ranjani and Raghavan stay during their visit - Bungalow at the beach, a Neemrana property that was previously the British Collectors office. The property offers great views of the beach and is a mere 50-60m from the shore. - In the vicinity of the beach is the Masilamani Nathar temple, some of which was impacted by the 2004 Tsunami. This is one of the oldest surviving structures of Tharangambadi and is believed to have been built in 1306. - Other points of interest in the town include a post office, New Jerusalem church, Zion church, some old structures and houses on King Street. Enjoy your walk around the town and appreciate some of the remaining colonial structures- Famous personalities of Tranquebar include German Missionary Barthalomous Zeigenbalg, who was responsible for setting up of the first printing press in the area and also set up the region's first girls school. He is still fondly remembered by the locals for all the work he did for uplifting the community and a statue of Zeigenbalg stands at the intersection of King and Queen street. - Another famous personality of Tranquebar is M.A. Sulthan, a resident who has been instrumental in documenting the history of the region and also writing several books to preserve the past of Tranquebar. He has worked closely with organizations like Intach to preserve the remaining heritage of the town. - Raghavan and Ranjani also share their experience learning about the Danish community and their unwavering support to the town, specially during the rebuilding phase after the Tsunami. The Danish Tranquebar Association or DTA has been a key player in ensuring families get all the support during the rebuilding process. The couple cap off the trip by sharing their experience interacting with a Danish couple who were visiting Tranquebar or Tharangambadi, as they refer to the town, and how it is deeply rooted in their history and still finds a place in their academic curriculum. - If you are thinking about extending your itinerary, other nearby options include a trip to Pondicherry for the beautiful beaches and French vistas, Chidambaram and Thanjavur for some iconic temples, the famous Nagoor Dargah or muslim shrine as well as the Basilica of our Lady of Good health in Velankanni. Enjoy your trip!

Who is the valiant one ("dheerudu") enchanting you by singing the notes ("swara") with clarity ("shuddhamuto"), using for words ("vaakkulato") the absolute truth ("nija ") enshrined ("galgina") in the Vedas ("nigama")? Is it possible ("taramaa") for Tyagaraja to do all this and create ("che") and sing ("bhajiyinche") songs ("krithi") that follow the rules in prosody ("yati"), pausing at the right places ("visrama"), possessing the sweetness of grape ("draaksha") juice ("rasa"), comprising the nine ('nava") emotions ("rasa"), standing firm on the bedrock of faith ("virati")? Who is the valiant one enchanting you by harmonising so pleasurably the drum and the beat? Notes: The kriti, sets out the essential characteristics of composing and rendering kritis. In a question format (to quote Prof William Jackson), Tyagaraja sets out all requisites for a good composer and a singer. A good kriti's words are likened to OmkAra, the praNava mantra as per the kriti. This is the essence of nAdOpAsana. Some of the other terms used are explained below: yati: a rule of prosody, particularly used in Telugu and Sanskrit, where the opening letter of a line, repeats at measured intervals. vishrama: Also known as virAma. This denotes a pause. virati: Complete detachment to worldly issues and unswerving concentration on the almighty. drAkshArasa: Compositions are qualified as drAkshArasa, madhu, kshIra, kadalI and nArikEla depending on their simplicity of meaning and the ease with which they are understood and appreciated by listeners. drAkshArasa is the simplest among them.
