Bengaluru: This Conservationist Is Rescuing Animals And Educating Kids In A Sanctuary Of His Own
The rapid disappearance of nature and wildlife has weakened the bond which humans have nurtured with them since ages. Under such situations, the possibility of a child interacting with an animal has become rare. However, Sanjeev Pednekar, a conservationist hailing from Bengaluru is working towards building a sanctuary, one-of-its-kind where kids or adults could observe and interact with animals away from the hustle-bustle of urban settings. Located just a few kilometres away from Bengaluru, it is home to nearly 300 rescued animals and even provides a friendly space to young kids for building relationships with animals.
The “Mother Teresa” Of Nepal Has Rescued 18,000 Sex Trafficking Victims
In the 1990s, Nepali native Anuradha Koirala would walk by Kathmandu’s Pashupatinath Temple every morning. And every morning she would meet the women who were begging on those streets. When she struck up a conversation with them, she realized that they were all survivors of gender-based violence. This hit home, because she had dealt with the physical and emotional trauma at the hands of an abusive ex-husband. That moment of connection is what set her on the path to becoming Nepal’s Mother Teresa.

80-YO Tribal Woman Learnt Painting At 70. Today Her Art Sells In Milan & Paris!
“Painting takes me to another world where I am as free as a bird,” says Judhaiya Baiga. She says this is her way of putting her village on the global map and keeping her traditions alive.
A professional dancer, who’d been forced to abandon her career after being pushed in front of a subway train and injuring one of her feet, attended a retreat with Maezumi Roshi.
Self-conscious about the appearance of her injured foot, she always kept it covered with a sock. In her first interview, she asked Maezumi a question about Zen practice, but he answered, “Never mind that. Tell me about your foot.” She told him the story, and when her tears began to come she looked up to find that the roshi was crying too.
This went on for most of the week. Every day she’d come in and ask Maezumi about her practice, he’d ask about her foot instead, and they’d cry together.
Finally the day came when she walked into the interview room and began to tell him about her injury, but it summoned no tears from her.
“Never mind that,” Maezumi interrupted.
“Let’s talk about your practice.”

Interpretation : It is only when one talks and releases our fears or griefs can this disappear from our thoughts and gradually, from our life itself. Therefore, if one can just listen to others grief, it could be a great service that one can offer.
I am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
My journey of stepping into writing began I realized that there are many ideas I wished to convey to all without sounding judgmental or patronizing. Writing then became my passion as I was able to do all of this quite effectively. This connected me with a variety of people who shared their journeys with me. In the midst of all this, I was diagnosed and recovered from multiple sclerosis that also got published as a book. I am certain that my recovery was possible not just because of the techniques that I used, most of which was alternative healing techniques but also because I used the approach of body, mind and spirit healing, where the spirit gives us faith, mind gives us positivity and the body follows the instructions that it receives. I have been the Asst Editor of Life Positive magazine and trained people, both children and adults in spoken and written English. All through my journey, I have realized how powerful writing is to convey messages of who we are. Now, six books of mine have been published. These comprise of two books for children; a collection of short stories on religion and an adventure story published by Rupa & Co. A book of Teaching Stories published by Life Positive in 2008. More Teaching Stories published in 2011, Elixir for Zylake, a childrens’ book published by Life Positive in December 2013 and Dancing with Life published by Hay House in 2015. I have also self-published a novel on Kindle recently. The novel is all about the quest of identity interwoven in the loves and lives of three generations of people in India and Afghanistan. The story conveys the emotions of people in the pre-independence era when Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan and Mahatma Gandhi were pretty active in spreading their message of non-violence. It shows how common people were affected both by physical violence and non-inclusion in their own land. Some pre-Independence violence and disharmony is conveyed while even the current terrorism and intolerance is brought out with the end ending on a note of hope and love. The primary message that the novel seeks to convey is the commonality of all people and their emotions and a search that all of us have for our own roots and identity. The novel ultimately brings out the fact that humanity is indeed one and our identity, no matter what the origin may be, is one of oneness, unity and love. For, we all are indeed from the same source, whatever we may call it.am an author, writer and a trainer in spoken and written English.
