The sutras of the great sage Patanjali, which together constitute a
landmark text in yoga spiritualism, are available here in this
classic translation by theosophic scholar Charles Johnson.
Historically the most translated of all ancient Indian texts,
Patanjali's sutras since the beginning of the 20th century enjoyed
audiences within and outside India. The translator Charles Johnson
was one of Ireland's celebrated theosophists, with a great interest
in the religious and philosophical texts of old. This edition
originally appeared in 1912, and introduced yoga to Western
audiences. The sutras explain the tenets of various yoga, and how
the yogi is able to absorb energy and strengthen thereby. The means
of gradually attaining a serene mental state known as Kaivalya as a
precursor to the blissfulness of samadhi is detailed. The constant
practice and disciplined honing of the bodily senses, and the
differing forms of yoga used to achieve a state of perfection in
each pillar of the practice.

Environmental education is life long process with the objectives of
importing to its target group in the formal and non formal
education sectors environmental awareness ecological knowledge,
attitude values commitment for actions and ethical responsibilities
for rational use of resources and for sound & sustainable
development. Environmental education emphasis the teaching of the
holistic nature of environment through interdisciplinary and
problem solving approaches. The primary school is the natural place
to introduce children to environmental education, since at this
level they instinctively have holistic view of the environment.
They have yet not been trained to compartmentalize their learning
into separate subject as they will have to do in secondary &
higher education. Introducing critical thinking & problem
solving approaches in Environmental education especially in Primary
School level, is fundamental if students are to become skillful in
the identification and solution of environment problems as student
and later on as adult citizen and possible decision makers.
