 Abstract

In the 2nd chapter of the Bhagavadgītā introduces the idea of 'Sthitaprajña' as a person who is self-realized, possessing a stable intellect, and who remains unaffected by attachment-dissatisfaction, joy-pain, aversion, and anger. This research article offers a comparative analysis of the interpretations of verses 2.55 to 2.57 of the Gītā by Śaṃkarācārya and Rāmānujācārya. Śaṃkarācārya focuses on knowledge, detachment, and illusionism rooted in Advaita Vedānta , whereas Rāmānujācārya views devotion, dedication, and divine grace as foundational for self-realization in Viśiṣṭādvaita. Although the perspectives of both Acharyas may vary, their objective remains focused on self-realization and salvation. This article demonstrates that both knowledge and devotion play significant roles in the process of becoming a Sthitaprajña. This research enhances Vedantic discussions and motivates contemporary individuals to attain self-discipline and inner tranquility through the combined path of knowledge and devotion.

 Abstract

Apasmara (Epilepsy) comes under the group of ShareermanoAdhisthathaManasikvikara (body and mind disorder) which is defined as the apagama(loss) of smriti(memory) associated with bibhasthachestha (irrelevant behaviour) due to derangement of dhi (thinking capacity) and satva (mental strength ). The modern available antiepileptic drugs control the seizure attack, but long term use of them generates adverse reaction at cognitive level and leads to behavioural disorder and also affects mental health of children and adolescent which are the big issues now-a-days. Therefore, today's era there is need of safe and effective treatment which not only controls the seizure attack but also help to improve quality of life, least or no side effects and also cures the disease. 6yrs old male child approached Kaumarbhritya (paediatric) OPD with complaints of frequent seizure attacks, headache since from at the age of 4 yrs. with regular oral antiepileptic drugs medication (allopathic), Parents are not satisfied with treatment and feel worried about their side effects. So, he was advised with Ayurvedic regimen that is ChaturbhujRas (Raskalpa) and PratimarshNasya with Vacha- Shampakadighrita along with antiepileptic drugs. After treatment child had significant relief from some symptoms of Epilepsy. The frequency of attack, severity and duration of seizure attack was found to be reduced and improved quality of life. Ayurvedic management found some kind of beneficial in this case.

 Abstract

Cultural folk music often faces negligence in front of Technological advancements resulting in the erosion of traditional musical heritage. This study aims to preserve the characteristics of Khasi folk musical instruments through music information retrieval (MIR) techniques to integrate Khasi folk music into the modern digital Technology era. We focus on extracting audio features like "Attack-Delay-Sustain-Release (ADSR)", "Zero-Crossing-Rate (ZCR)" "Spectral Centroid" "Spectral Rolloff" and "Spectral flux" from the sound produced by the Khasi folk musical instruments. The extracted features will be used to train the machine learning model and preserved for future use and reference. Our model used in this study consists of a bunch of Classifiers and we focus our analysis on 7 different types of Khasi folk musical instruments. We obtain a precision of 91%, a recall of 90%, and an F1-score of 90%.

 Abstract

Mushroom are the macro-fungus belongs to Basidiomycotina order Agaricales all species are saprophytic, heterotrophic and achlorophyllous. The most extensively grown mushroom species worldwide is Agaricus bisporus. A. bisporus pure spawn is used to inoculate beds of semi-pasteurized composted organic substrate to begin the cultivation process. After that, the A.bisporus mycelium colonizes the composted substrate by breaking down the organic matter and releasing nutrients. To encourage the growth of the mushroom crop and preserve the compost environment, a layer of peat, also referred to as "casing soil," is spread on top of the composted substrate. Although the biochemistry and genetics of A. bisporus have been extensively studied during the cultivation process, little is now understood about the broader microbial ecology that co-inhabits the casing layers and composted substrate.

Abstract Background: Badminton sport is popular because almost every area is found badminton courts in both indoor and outdoor form. The physical condition factor of athletes is very important in supporting the implementation of technical and tactical training. Flexibility is the ability to rotate a single joint or series of joint smoothly and easily through an unrestricted, and pain free range of motion. The vertical jump test is a physical fitness test. It is an effective exercise for building both endurance and explosive power. Myofascial release technique is a treatment approach, a therapy and a rehabilitation tool. It is a hands-on therapy, meaning that the therapist applies pressure with the hands onto, and into, the client's body Aim and Objective: of study find out immediate effect of myofascial release on hamstrings, for muscle flexibility, vertical jump among recreational badminton players. Method: 6 young recreational badminton players will be recruited for study. There will be perform myofascial release technique on muscle. Flexibility will be measure by 90 - 90 hamstring tests. Vertical Jump will be evaluated through vertical height jump test. Results: hamstring play a significant effect in vertical jump height and the flexibility of the muscles increases after the administration of MFR. Vertical jump height for hamstring (p > 0.0028) showed extremely improvement. Flexibility of right hamstring muscle (p > 0.0035) and left (P > 0.0028) also showed significant difference. Conclusion: The study concluded that MFR has immediate effect on increasing muscle flexibility and muscle power.

 Abstract

In an era marked by increasing lifestyle diseases and dietary awareness, the need for intelligent and personalized nutrition planning has become paramount. This project presents a machine learning-powered Personalized Meal Recommendation System designed to offer adaptive dietary suggestions based on individual health profiles, medical conditions, and food preferences. The core objective is to replace generic meal plans with data-driven, health-conscious alternatives tailored to a user's specific physiological and lifestyle needs. Existing solutions often lack personalization depth and fail to account for multi-dimensional inputs such as chronic illnesses, physical activity levels, or regional cuisine preferences. To address these limitations, the system utilizes a hybrid recommendation model, leveraging XGBoost , LightGBM-based classification and clustering algorithms alongside customized encoders. User data including BMI, age, glucose levels, dietary restrictions, and caloric requirements are processed to recommend optimal meal plans. The platform is built using FastAPI for the backend, integrated with a React and Vite-powered frontend for an intuitive user experience. The system not only enhances dietary adherence but also supports preventive health goals by dynamically adjusting recommendations as user data evolves. The proposed solution demonstrates a scalable, intelligent framework for nutrition personalization, contributing significantly to the fields of health informatics and digital wellness.

 Abstract

Introduction: Dadhi (Curd), a widely consumed fermented dairy product, holds significant therapeutic attributes and dietary application in both traditional Ayurvedic medicine and modern nutritional science. While Ayurveda emphasizes effects of curd on dosha, seasonal suitability, and individualized consumption also mention indication and contraindication while modern literature primarily focuses on its probiotic and nutritional benefits. This review investigates and contrasts these two perspectives to identify areas of alignment, divergence, and potential integration. Methods: A literature-based review was conducted using Ayurvedic classical texts including Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Astang hriday and Bhavaprakasha Nighantu, along with modern textbook and relevant reviewed articles, journals, case studies were also analysed for this study. Results: Ayurveda describes dadhi as ushna (hot), guru (heavy), and amla (sour), advising restricted or modified use based on individual constitution (prakriti), season, and food combinations. It is contraindicated at night and in certain disease conditions due to its potential to aggravate Kapha and Pitta doshas. Modern research emphasizes curd's benefits for gut microbiota, immunity, and digestion but generally overlooks individualized or context-based guidelines. The two systems largely operate within separate paradigms with minimal direct correlation in their conceptual frameworks or usage recommendations. Discussion/Conclusion: The findings reveal a clear gap between Ayurvedic and modern scientific perspectives on curd. Ayurveda adopts a personalized and situational approach, whereas modern science offers a generalized nutritional view. There is limited cross-reference or integration between the two. Future interdisciplinary research is needed to evaluate Ayurvedic claims through empirical methods and to explore how traditional principles might inform more individualized dietary recommendations in contemporary health systems.

 Abstract

This study explores the complex expressions of female desire and autonomy in Toni Morrison's canonical novels: The Bluest Eye, Sula, and Beloved. Drawing on literary and feminist theory--particularly Black feminist thought, objectification theory, and intersectionality--the paper argues that Morrison constructs her female characters' agency through embodied desire, maternal defiance, and transgressive choices that challenge dominant patriarchal and racialized structures. Female desire, in Morrison's work, emerges not as a purely romantic or sexual force but as a mode of self-assertion, resistance, and survival within oppressive socio-cultural systems. The paper contends that Morrison portrays desire as inherently political, especially when expressed by Black women whose subjectivities are historically marginalized and commodified. Through close textual analysis and engagement with scholars such as bell hooks, Patricia Hill Collins, and Hortense Spillers, the research highlights how Morrison's characters reclaim bodily autonomy, resist internalized racism, and redefine motherhood, friendship, and sexuality on their own terms. The narrative arcs of Pecola Breedlove, Sula Peace, and Sethe illustrate how the pursuit of autonomy--whether tragic or triumphant--is deeply entangled with historical trauma and the legacy of systemic dehumanization. Ultimately, the study positions Morrison's fiction as a radical feminist intervention that critiques the ideological and physical constraints placed upon Black women's bodies and identities. It contributes to the growing body of literary scholarship that views Morrison's work not only as fiction, but also as philosophical inquiry into liberation, selfhood, and collective memory.
