"We must understand what the disaster is. A huge wave is not the disaster. The disaster is human. People who lost their family, that's the disaster. Somebody lost his livelihood; somebody lost his home; that's the disaster. Somebody doesn't have something to eat tonight; that's the disaster. So, this disaster is not just on the physical plane. A human being's suffering is hugely within himself, more than outside. A few packets of food may arrive, and he may get to eat; however, the new ...

Indias rural youth have the potential to contribute to and share in the growth of their country. Yet due to low-quality education, many young Indians graduate from school without the basic skill sets necessary to gain employment and pursue higher education.
Isha Vidhya was founded as a means for transforming the lives of rural children by providing affordable, high-quality education where it is otherwise unavailable. Over the coming years, Isha Vidhya will set up 206 schools in villages across the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. The schools are designed to build confident, English-speaking, computer-adept youth, on par with students from good urban schools. Students will graduate prepared to pursue higher education and employment in the best colleges and corporate institutions.
Isha Vidhya functions on a grass-roots level, relying on community involvement and the support of innumerable volunteers and donors. Through this website, we invite you to learn more about Isha Vidhya and join us in our efforts to empower the rural youth of India!

Rather than lamenting what has happened in Sri Lanka, it would be better to try and protect the Tamils who survived the terrible war there, said Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder of Isha Foundation and spiritual master.
Addressing a gathering after releasing Eelam-Mounathin Vali, a compilation of poetry by 100 renowned personalities from all walks of life (including Jaggi Vasudev, actors Kamal Haasan, Surya, Prakash Raj, Sathyaraj, film directors A R Murugadoss, Cheran, Seeman, Amir, Bala, poets Vairamuthu, Kanimozhi and writer Arundhati Roy) on the pain and sufferings of the Lankan Tamils during Eelam war, Jaggi Vasudev said wars had taken away hundreds of thousands of lives during the 20th century and when such a war happened at Indias doorstep, humaneness also died along with human beings.
A permanent solution can never be found to a problem through violent methods or war. Redeeming all that was lost during the war (in Sri Lanka) is not possible. Efforts sh ould, hence, be made to at least protect the future generations from such devastating losses. Its no use lamenting what has already happened. Now, the task before people is to take steps that could help, protect and support the Tamils in Sri Lanka. Such efforts, even if small, will be a source of hope and peace to those people, telling them that there are men and women who would stand up for them. Citing perpetration of injustice and biased conduct as root causes for all upheavals, the yoga guru said that people, however, forget the wrongs committed by themselves and complain about those committed by others.
Considering the advances the world is witnessing today, including those in science and technology, no room should be given to violence or war, he said.
Archbishop Chinnappa said the blood of the innocents would have its revenge and hoped that Eelam would flower and justice would flourish one day. The book release was organised by Journalists Against War, Naller Publications and We-Indians Against Genocide. Director A R Murugadoss, actors Sivakumar, Prakashraj, Surya and others received copies of the 112- page book.
