Vincent van Gogh, Skull with Burning Cigarette (c. 1885)
Harm reduction has long been the mantra of the British approach to the problem of drug addiction, particularly to heroin. The argument in favour of this approach is as follows:
Certain people will continue to take drugs whatever prohibitive or restrictive measures are taken to interdict supply, and whatever therapeutic means are employed to encourage them to stop.
These people are a hazard to themselves and to others, for example by taking variable quantities of the drug, thus risking dangerous overdose, and by sharing needles so that they spread blood-borne viruses which, by means of sexual contact, can enter the general population.
Moreover, these people who will take drugs irrespective of anything else generally find it difficult or impossible to meet the economic costs of continuing by legal means, and therefore resort to crime to 'feed their habit,' thus causing much misery to the rest of the population.
In view of the intractability of their addiction, then, it is best to supply them with drugs and injecting equipment that will reduce, though not entirely eliminate, the harm they do to themselves and others.
It is not my purpose here to argue whether harm reduction works or not, a question of formidable complexity and indeed moral import. I wish merely to point out an interesting contradiction, of some cultural significance, in the British Medical Journal, which has in the past published a large number of articles in favour of harm reduction.

When residents refuse to take their medications.
An angry, disoriented, hostile elderly resident swatting away a medication cup or grimly clamming up and turning away -- a situation encountered routinely by any nursing home staff trying to provide needed medication. Here are some suggestions for easing the situation.Any resident with dementia or psychiatric illness who refuses oral medication poses a major problem to the staff. Many residents are confused and disorganized, do not comprehend the need for medication, and cannot recognize that what is being provided to them is, in fact, medication. And if the taste is unpleasant, the resident, much like a child, may simply refuse to "open up." There are, fortunately, several methods to increase the elderly resident's willingness to accept oral medication even when psychiatric illness or dementia interferes with the process.
Even though many residents function in an extremely deteriorated and regressed manner, and may not be able to communicate well or understand their environment, it is still very often the case that they maintain some social graces. Residents can often "read" expressions and respond with smiles, curiosity, anger or fear. Residents generally enjoy social approaches by staff, will respond favorably to compliments and social stimulation, and may retain a kind of social intelligence and awareness long after problem-solving, reasoning, and ability to articulate their thoughts have been lost.
In a situation in which a resident retains some cognitive skills and verbal abilities, staff may talk with the resident about the benefits of the medication, encourage the resident to accept appropriate treatment, and listen to the resident as he explains why he does not want the treatment. They can often provide information in a clear and uncomplicated manner.
However, the non-verbal or minimally verbal resident is not likely to benefit from such approaches. Nevertheless, the resident's remaining social responsiveness may still be useful as a means of increasing his medication compliance. Even though the resident is routinely responding to nursing intervention, routine hygiene tasks and so forth with a resistant, combative attitude, often displayed through hitting, kicking, grabbing, spitting or verbal assault, that same resident often obviously enjoys it when a staff person approaches, talks in a soft, calm tone and even holds the resident's hand or touches him affectionately on the shoulder.
Attempting to build on this, our facility has developed several medication compliance strategies emphasizing social interaction. Some involve role-playing, and some change traditional roles.
The Socializer
One of our compliance strategies was to select a student to serve as a "Socializer." The patients had had no negative history with this individual or developed any unfortunate associations with him; in fact, the student had previously been involved with them in pleasurable activities, such as recreational outings, helping patients to eat, wheeling patients off the ward, and participating in brief verbal interactions with them. In his new role, the student Socializer was to remain with the patient until prescribed medication had been accepted and administered.
The student approached each patient a few minutes before the medication nurse was scheduled to arrive. The task assigned to the student was to engage the patient in a social interchange, whether through dialogue, hand holding, mutual smiling or conducting a monologue about pleasant aspects of the day -- the warm sun, the attractive clothing worn by the patient, the patient's beautiful smile, enjoyable outings scheduled later in the day, or other positive features of the environment. When the medication nurse arrived, the student was to remain with the patient during the administration of the medication.
The idea behind this, of course, was that this period of social contact may improve the patient's mood, provide social validation to the patient and communicate that the patient is liked and regarded positively. The message is that pleasant and appropriate behavior is expected of the patient, part of which may well be improved medication compliance. While the patient might recall that he or she had previously behaved in an aggressive, hostile, rejecting manner with the medication nurse, the hope was that he or she might not want to display this behavior in the presence of the Socializer.
As it turned out, this strategy worked, to some extent. Several patients who previously had consistently and totally rejected medication raised medication acceptance rates to approximately 50%. In some instances in which this strategy failed, the patient had already started the process of fighting with staff about other issues, e.g. dressing, grooming, or hygiene, and the patient wanted no contact with anyone under any circumstances, even the Socializer.
Favorite Nurse
In further evaluating patients' medication compliance, it rapidly became apparent that the personality of the medication nurse and the relationship between the nurse and patient had an impact on the likelihood of the patient accepting or rejecting medication. As with the Socializer, a pleasant, calm and patient manner, a smile, an approach which incorporated persistence, all tended to facilitate an attitude of compliance with the medication regimen. Indeed, this relationship proved so crucial that it merited reconsideration of some of the medication nurse's routine functions.
In short, medication nurses may need to be treated differently than other ward staff in order to have time to develop the necessary special relationships with the patients. It may, in fact, be necessary to relieve the medication nurse from other routine nursing tasks so that the time for this is available. Responsibility for any tasks that might divert the nurse from this primary goal may have to be shifted, perhaps, to another staff member. Furthermore, this will help insulate the medication nurse from being associated by the patient with some of the more unpleasant tasks that nursing staff has to perform. Realizing the importance of solving this problem, the nursing staff has attempted to accomplish this to the extent possible.
Obviously, some Socializers and medication nurses will be far more effective in these roles than others. The personality, appearance, and manner of the Socializer and medication nurse are all factors which may affect medication compliance. It is also important to recognize that, when one medication nurse or Socializer is particularly effective with a specific patient, it is logical to continue using that individual in distributing medication to that patient.
Persistence is another factor that can increase a patient's willingness to take medication; one may actually have to "wear down" the patient's resistance. If the patient tends to be combative, however, the medication nurse must be very wary of eliciting an aggressive or agitated response. It should also be noted that what appears to be a rejection of medication may in fact be simply an inability to understand. At times, "No" may mean something other than "No, I don't want the medication." It may mean, "No, I don't want you to involve me in any intrusive treatment," "I don't want you to hurt me in any way," "I want to be left alone," or simply, "I am uncomfortable and I will say no to anything without understanding what is being offered to me." An appropriate response takes thought and some knowledge of the patient's past behavior or comments.
Also, it has been noted that a "show of force," consisting simply of a few people standing around the patient, will sometimes encourage the patient to be compliant and agreeable. In fact, it sometimes seems on occasion that the addition of the Socializer enhances the patient's medication compliance simply because there are two staff members, rather than just the medication nurse, in attendance.
There are times when offering the patient a choice of administration method may increase positive response to taking medication. While there may be few choices that the patient can actually make in this regard, he may at times be offered either juice or water to drink afterwards. Or, allowing the resident to make the choice of treatment -- e.g., oral laxative or suppository/enema -- may also be realistic in some cases.
Another strategy to enhance medication compliance incorporates theories of behavioral psychology. When a behavior is followed by a reward or reinforcement, the probability increases that the behavior will occur again. Thus, if socialization is rewarding to the patient, staff should continue the period of socialization after the patient takes the medication. If, however, the patient refuses the medication or behaves in an inappropriate manner (e.g., with verbal abuse or a physical assault), socialization should be guarded against to avoid seeming to reward -- and thereby reinforce -- the patient's inappropriate behavior.
Reinforcers other than socialization may be offered following the patient's taking the medication in a compliant manner. For example, a friendly smile, a food treat, or anything else that elicits a positive response may increase future medication compliance.
Mood Enhancement
It has often been noted that once a patient is in a bad mood, it is difficult or impossible to modify it. At these times, predictably, the patient will often refuse medication. Prior to dispensing the medication, the medication nurse may choose to compliment the patient, joke with him or her, provide the patient with an opportunity to return to his or her room or to take a very short walk with the medication nurse. Not only may this enhance the patient's willingness to take the medication, any improvement in the patient's mood may ease other aspects of nursing care, as well.
Rather than initiating a battle of wills or an angry, hostile encounter, using specific techniques to reinforce patients' agreeable behavior is strongly encouraged in improving medication compliance. Special efforts along these lines are obviously worthy of staff time and attention. Methods that have proven effective incorporate socialization and other reinforcement techniques applied consistently, gently, and with the patient's best interests at heart.

Alcohol sales an issue in the cyberworld, too
Staff writer Alyssa Schnugg admits it – she's an online game junkie. What's she's recently discovered, too, is that there is an uncanny similarity between the online world she plays in and the real one she lives in since there's an issue about alcohol sales in both. After taking a look at the issue, she wonders if there might be more democracy in her gaming world. (June 10, 2010, Page 4)

The $1 million Atto Mile (Can-IT) produced more starters for the Breeder' Cup Mile (gr. I) than any other race last year. For this reason, Breeders' Cup Ltd. asked Woodbine Race Course to accommodate a one-hour slot on NBC's "Racing to the Breeders' Cup" series by running the race a week early with a mid-afternoon post time. The race didn't produce sterling ratings by network standards, but it did reach significantly more people than a year ago.NBC's Atto Mile coverage earned a 0.8 rating and captured a 2% share of the viewing audience. Competition during the 2-3 p.m. time slot was tough with two NFL games playing on CBS and FOX. Still, the race reached 618,000 more households than last year when the race was packaged with the Ruffian Handicap (gr. I) on espn2. An estimated 857,000 households watched the Atto Mile last weekend compared to 1999 when an estimated 239,000 households watched the race on espn2, according to Nielsen's sports marketing service. Damon Thayer, director of marketing for Breeders' Cup, said the racing industry benefits every time an opportunity is taken to put racing on network television. "We wanted a national presence in September," Thayer said. "If we've got those windows and we have good programming, then we're going to make the effort." John Sisco, Woodbine's director of communications, said the Atto Mile also faced tough competition in Toronto. The race lost some local media coverage because golfing phenom Tiger Woods was in town playing at the Bell Canadian Open, which ended Sunday.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Is Biron Done In Philadelphia?
by Paul on 02/05/09 at 08:27 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Jack McCaffery of the Delco Times,
Until there is a more fundamental reason to arm himself with padding and stand before rubber hockey bullets, Marty Biron will try to provide the Flyers with the only service a goaltender can: A last resort.
It wasn't supposed to come to that already —- and it may not have reached that point yet. But it has been heading that way at slapshot speed for a 31-year-old goalie with dwindling chances that he will still be one of Flyers consequence come age 32.
Highly compensated now but with no contract beyond the end of this season, Biron slowly but clearly has been sliding from the Flyers' long-term plans —- that despite his gymnastics last spring, which helped open access to the NHL's Final Four.

Veteran Stags aim for a title
By Bill Marsh BANNER STAFF
Add a comment
The Tahanto Regional High School boys track team has a strong upperclass presence this season, with eight seniors and 12 juniors on the squad.
With the juniors and seniors leading the way, the Stags have opened the season with convincing victories over Littleton and West Boylston.
We are off to a good start and are 2-0, said Tahanto co-coach Patrick Minihan, who is in his fourth year at the helm. We think we can compete for the league championship this year.
We have a real good group of upperclassmen, who are the real scorers on the team, he said.
Elizabeth Murdoch and Minihan, who is also the Stags cross country coach, are the boys and girls track team co-coaches this season.
There are 47 boys out for this years track team, which is a record turnout, according to Minihan.
There is no junior varsity or middle school track team at the school. The Stags are members of the Wachusett League D, which was formerly the Midland-Wachusett League D Division.
In addition to Tahanto, Littleton and West Boylston, the other teams in the league are Ayer-Shirley, Maynard and Murdock.
The Stags finished last season with a 2-3 overall record and a 2-2 league mark.
The Stags captains are seniors Nate Richards, Ryan Lindsay and Connor Blandin.
Richards is entered in the mile and two mile, while Lindsay throws the javelin and runs the 800-meters and 4-by-400m relay.
They (Blandin, Richard and Lindsay) are all great captains, Minihan said. They have all been with me since freshman year.
Nate (Richards) was the captain of our cross country team, he said. He was the driving force behind our (Wachusett D) league championship. He has trained throughout the year and has not been beaten in the two mile in two years.
He is just a tremendous runner, with a lot of motivation and enthusiasm for the team, Minihan continued. Ryan (Lindsay) played football on the (West Boylston/Tahanto) Super Bowl team. He is a kid who is committed to training and never misses practice. He serves as a (role) model for the younger kids.
Blandins events are the 200m, 400m, long jump and discus.
Connor (Blandin) is a sprinter and a teacher, who motivates the middle-school kids on the team, Minihan said. He has really stepped up as a person who is committed to the entire team. He scored in four events against Littleton, which is tough to do.
The squads other seniors are Alex Hughson, Izzy Nowick, Anthony Pacheco, Bruno Souza and Adam Blais.
Hughson is on the 4-by-100s relay team, runs the 200m and throws the shot put. Nowick, the top 100m sprinter, also throws the javelin.
Pacheco is entered in the high jump, the 400m, and the 4-by-400 relay, while Souza does the 400m and 4-by-400 relay.
Many of the kids (seniors), I had in cross country, Minihan said. These are kids who Ive coached in multiple sports. I think the (cross country) training, especially for the runners, has really helped.
Other key members of the team are juniors Bryan Hayes, Ridge Pierce, Tom McCarthy, Ben Tasker and Alex Churchill. Hayes was a league all-star in football and the Defensive Most Valuable Player, while Tasker and Churchill were both league all-stars in football.
Hayes, who qualified for District competition last season, does the triple, long and high jumps, the 200m and the mile.
Bryan (Hayes) is the best athlete on the team, Minihan said. He scores in all his events. He is a tremendous athlete, who is very dedicated.
He has been on the team since the eighth grade and is one of the most unique athletes Ive ever coached, he said. Ridge (Pierce) has developed into a real good 400m hurdler.
It is nice to have the football players on the team, Minihan continued. I think there has been a change in the culture at Tahanto, in terms of track and cross country.
Winning in both sports has certainly helped, he said. Many of the kids on the team come out and enjoy the sport, and can train for other sports too. Success breeds success.
Other juniors on the team are Corey Bernier, Alex DeMarco, Riley MacKenzie, Connor Marshall, John Quinn, John Roche and Alex Sanginario, while the sophomores are Palmer Bigelow and Dean Herrick.
Palmer was one of our key runners on the cross country team, Minihan said. He is a great two-miler and our lead 800m runner. He is a real good athlete, who has shown a commitment to training.
The teams freshmen are Andrew Barakian, Jacob Gaucher, Michael Hays, Colton Marshall, Tim McQuade, Clay Pierce, Aidan Regan, Cavin Sok, and Jeff Stanton.
The eighth-graders are Ethan Carpenter, Jackson Danis, Paul Ferrecchia, Sean Gaucher, Joshua Kiritsy, Cole Lombardi, James Mongeau, Niall Regan and Kirk Smalley.
The seventh-graders are Johnny Allen, Ian Durham, Tim Grieve, Devereux Marshall, Talbot Porter, Mike Redington and Abdullah Tanteh.
Interest in track is growing at the school and, next year, when the first track in school history is ready for use, the numbers could be even greater.
We have many younger kids on the team and we all start and finish practice together, Minihan said. We have great team spirit and the older kids motivate the younger ones.
Having our own track will give us the ability to win more meets, he said. We will be able to train on our own track and get a feel for the distances, and that is very important.
In the victory over West Boylston, Bigelow won the two-mile and the 800m run, while Hayes was first in the mile, 200m, high and long jumps.
Pacheco took the 400m, while Nowick won the 100m. Pierce was first in the 400m hurdles, while Hughson and Lindsay won the triple jump and javelin, respectively.
The 4-by-100m relay team of Nowick, Hughson, Churchill and McCarthy won its event. Tasker, Lindsay, Souza and Pacheco took the 4-by-400m relay race.

Mucoadhesion has been a topic of interest in the design of drug delivery system to prolong the residence time of the dosage form with the under lying absorption surface to improve and enhance the bioavailability of drugs. The objective of this study is to develop, characterize, and evaluate mucoadhesive microspheres of Metronidazole employing various mucoadhesive polymers for prolonged gastrointestinal absorption. Metronidazole, an effective antiprotozoal drug that requires controlled release was used as the core in microencapsulation.
Microsphere containing Metronidazole were prepared employing sodium alginate in combination with four mucoadhesive polymers – sodium CMC, Methylcellulose, Carbopol and HPMC-K4M as coat materials with different polymers ratios. Further Chitosan coating was employed for better mucoadhesive property. The microspheres were filled in capsules for in-vivo evaluation. The microspheres were found to discrete, spherical, free flowing, and of the monolithic matrix type. The mucoadhesive property of the microcapsules was evaluated by an in nitro adhesion testing method known as wash-off method. Scanning Electron Microscopy indicated coarser surface texture which improves the adhesion through stronger mechanical interaction of the microspheres. The mucoadhesive microspheres were evaluated by in vitro and in vivo methods using Gamma Scintigraphy for controlled release.
Microspheres coated with HPMC-K4M and Carbopol polymer upon Chitosan coating retained spherical shapes which produced best drug release. The microspheres having good in vitro properties were used for in vivo evaluation. These mucoadhesive microspheres are, thus, suitable for oral controlled release of Metronidazole.
Systemic delivery of drugs via nasal route has many advantages for protein and peptide drug molecules as well as conventional molecules
The term microsphere is widely used in various areas, such as, materials and pharmaceutical sciences, for spherical particles composed of various natural and synthetic materials with diameters in the micrometer range (1μm to 1000μm (1mm)). Microspheres are manufactured in both solid and hollow form. Hollow microspheres are typically used as additives to lower the density of a material. Solid microspheres have numerous applications depending on what material they are constructed of, and what size they are. Microspheres are a subset of microparticles.
Microspheres also exert a direct effect on the mucosa, resulting in the opening of tight junctions between the epithelial cells. Starch and dextran microspheres have been administered repeatedly and can be classified as safe dosage forms.
The effects of mucoadhesive microspheres on the integrity or the opening of tight junction, and the viability and the recovery of nasal cell monolayer were also evaluated.
'SMART' drug delivery system (SDDS) is the multi targeted, pH responsive, Stimuli sensitive delivery systems.
Target delivery of drug molecules to brain is one of the most challenging research areas in pharmaceutical sciences. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents an insurmountable obstacle for a large number of drugs, including antibiotics, antineoplastic agents, and a variety of central nervous system (CNS)-active drugs, especiallyneuropeptides. Therefore, various strategies have been proposed to improve the delivery of different drugs to this tissue which includesliposomes, colloidal drug carriers, micelles, chimeric peptide technology, intranasal and olfactory route of administration andnano technology.
The BBB is located at the level of brain capillaries, where there is a convergence of different cell types. The brain micro vessel endothelial cell (BMEC) that form the BBB, display important morphological characteristics such as the presence of tight junctions between the cells, the absence of fenestrations and a diminished pinocytics activity, that together help to restrict the passage of compounds from the blood into the extra cellular environment of the brain
The present topic deals in brief about the status of the BBB. The first part of this topic aims to review the strategies developed to circumvent the BBB and deliver drugs into the brain. The use of nano technology and liposomes are discussed which are crucial parts of this power point presentation as mainly used to target various CNS disorders. The later part contains future aspects of brain drug targeting...
Our power point presentation deals with Brain targeting technology, Colloidal drug carriers, Micelles, Liposomes, nano Technology
The scope of a drug delivery system is to introduce drugs within the body and facilitate their passage from the site of administration to the target site. Colloidal drug delivery systems (CDDS) consist of therapeutic compounds present in the colloidal state. Many types of CDDS are available such as: micelles, liposomes, nanoparticles, dendrimers, liquid crystals and hydrogels. Mechanisms of uptake of nanostructures from the gastrointestinal tract include persorption, endocytosis by enterocytes, paracellular transport, uptake by intestinal macrophages and passage through the gut associated lymphoid tissue. The major advantages of colloidal drug delivery systems are better drug targeting, delivery and release, with their additional potential to combine diagnosis, on account of their small size, with therapy. Some of the colloidal drug delivery systems involve the encapsulation of a drug moiety within a core surrounded by a layer of molecules that prevent the hydrolysis and enzymatic degradation of the drug moiety within thus improving the therapeutic efficacy.
The cytotoxicity of these drug delivery systems or their degradation products poses a major problem. Also there is a need to better understand the behaviour of these systems in vivo before their true value as delivery vectors can be assessed. This Online PowerPoint presentation deals with the advantages, demerits, mechanisms, associated problems and advances in Colloidal Drug Delivery Systems and emphasizes on their increasing use in newer drug delivery devices.

Just to be sure, Yogananda says that human beings are a special creation of god, and not linked with apes. So essentially human beings are a one time creation of God (they magically and radomly appeared). This means that one must place oneself in direct conflict mainstream biological evidence concerning human origins to be a disciple of Yogananda. In other words, humans can't have evolved at all, but must have been a one time creation. Am I missing something concerning PY's view on human origin?
Paramhansa Yogananda did indeed say that human beings are a special creation. I don't know about the "magically and randomly appeared" part of your question, but special, yes. Check out this article.
It's true that this does not tally with mainstream anthropological thought. But then again, mainstream thought seems to change on a regular basis, doesn't it? The most recent change I'm aware of turned up just this year (or was it last year?), when the acknowledged "family tree" got pushed back much earlier than had been accepted for quite some time. It was shocking for many anthropologists. But why shocking? It's the way of material science to have a prevailing theory, which eventually gets replaced by another, and then another, and on and on it goes, never reaching absolute knowledge. That's how it is when dealing with mere outward facts, as science does, rather than with inner, divine understanding, as the great masters do.
That's not to say that human beings haven't evolved in the time they've been around (which, Yogananda said, has been for over 50 million years - another huge departure from conventional thought). In fact, the teachings on the yugas specifically say that humans do evolve, not just on the level of consciousness, but physically, too. (See the upcoming book on the yugas from Crystal Clarity, as well as this article and others from recent issues of Clarity Magazine.)
Anyway, don't worry about placing yourself "in direct conflict mainstream biological evidence concerning human origins." Why would you care? You don't have to believe anything like this in order to know God. As I said, the mainstream is in constant flux. And even if it weren't, this entire issue does not concern your own spiritual growth in the least. Why would it matter to you whether humans evolved from some primate or were acts of special creation? Knowing the answer, or even believing one answer or another, certainly won't help your growth, and it might hinder it if you decide to make the issue a stumbling block.
The important thing is that each one of us evolve from lower understanding to ever-higher understanding, until we merge back into God. And by then, I'll bet this whole question won't be very high on your list of things you need - or even want - to know.

Does God want this drama to continue? Or does he want all of us to get back to him?
If God wants us to perform drama and if all of us get back to him using self realization then will it not be against his will..?
If this drama ( this cycle of Yugas ends) then will there be a new drama?
Yes, KJ, God does want the drama to continue - but only in an overall sense, not for us individually. He is, Paramhansa Yogananda said, very keen for each one of us to "go home." That's why He has given us the techniques of yoga through the great souls who have handed them down through the ages. He has plenty of ways (and souls) to keep the show going without our being part of it. Still, he doesn't make it easy for us, does He? Well, it's all part of His drama.
Yes, the yuga cycle will end at some point. In fact, all creation ends at some point. But then, as you say, there will be a new drama after that. And that will end sometime, and another new one will begin. Let's do our best to make sure we're not part of those, too!

Hi, I'm researching the Dwapara vs Kali Yuga confusion after having read The Holy Science. Any suggestions of where I can find out more about this subject? Any clear articles about it? I found an answer to a similar question on this website that had a link that's now dead:
so was unable to find out more.
Your time and expertise is much appreciated.
Dear Dominic,
Thank you for your question: the yugas are a fascinating topic!
You might be interested in Swami Kriyananda's recent book, Religion in the New Age. The first chapters go in detail into dwapara versus kali yuga. Here is the book's introduction.
I'm sorry that link didn't work for you. It referenced articles from Clarity Magazine, which has several articles on dwapara yuga, including:
- The Myth of the Caveman
- The Great Pyramid: New Evidence and New Theories
- Dharma and the Yugas-Is the World Getting Better?
The above articles are excerpts from the forthcoming book, The Yugas: Keys to Understanding Man's Hidden Past, Emerging Present, and Future Enlightenment by Joseph Puru Selbie and Byasa Steinmetz.
Also, on the Clarity Magazine site, you may want to search for "dwapara".
And you might be interested in Lost Star of Myth and Time by Walter Cruttenden.
I hope that helps. Good luck with your research!

Greetings... I just wanted to ask the role of ignorance in this Dwapara Yuga. We've all read of what evolutionary changes come in the yugas, but what about the behavior of ignorance. I've already had good share of ignorance being in the form of "Scientific truths" and "laws of this and that". Are these the version of ignorance in this age? Ignorance being in the form of supposed knowledge? People are using science to spread ignorance. What do you feel? :-)
Hello Vinay,
Until we're Self-realized, there is ignorance. It will manifest in different ways in different people and in different yugas, but it's the same seed thought: that we are the body and personality, not the soul.
The ascending Dwapara Yuga that we're now in manifests ignorance in its own distinctive ways.
One is that our collective wisdom has not kept pace with technological development, and we therefore find ourselves with the unique (in recorded history) potential - and even the tendency - to exterminate ourselves and/or completely spoil our own planet. Now that's ignorance! This wasn't possible in Kali Yuga, but as Paramhansa Yogananda said, "There is no safety in Dwapara Yuga."
Another manifestation of ignorance is that, having pulled out of matter-bound, rule-bound Kali Yoga, and having begun breathing the fresh Dwapara air of energy, freedom and creativity, there can be a tendency to deny that we're limited by any rule whatsoever. Epitomizing this is Jean-Paul Sartre's ridiculous contention that we are "radically free." Don't we wish! To think we are above the laws that govern our own nature is radical ignorance.
Yes, as you say, there is scientific ignorance as well, the ignorance of supposed knowledge. But that is not true science at all. And unfortunately, such attitudes are not unique to Dwapara. People will always try to justify their personal opinions, rather than to break free of personal interest altogether. So it will be with all who have not learned to give themselves completely to the quest for Self-realization.
The important thing for each one of us is to stop reinforcing the ego, stop seeking our happiness outside ourselves, and instead look for it in the only place where happiness and wisdom exist: within our own selves.

Jai Guru,
On one of the talks I heard Swamiji say this this planet is in a crisis and a downturn and because of global warming it may stop spinning. Swamiji and other people state that this is an age of energy which Yukteshwar named Dwapara Yuga. That means this planet is ascending towards higher awareness. Will these kind of negative things happen to this planet even when it is moving towards a higher age? I coudn't understand. Can I get help on this?
Dear Ganesh,
Since we are at a time of ascending Dwapara Yuga, we are indeed developing more awareness, particularly in regards to our understanding and use of energy.
The challenge is that we currently still have the lingering effects of Kali Yuga with its emphasis on form and materialism. What we are experiencing is that many people are clinging to old ways of form but have increased energy. This produces a lot of tension and friction on many levels.
Yogananda predicted that most likely we feel face increased tension, including a likelihood of more warfare. But then we will have several centuries where we have peace permeating the planet.
This is a time when it is more clear that we can each be an instrument for either increasing light or darkness. The energy available can be tremendous in helping to find our true home in the Infinite Consciousness. But it is up to each one of us to make the choice and act accordingly.
To find out more about the Yugas I suggest that you read Swami Kriyananda's book, Religion in the New Age.
In divine friendship,
Nayaswami Pranaba

Do the changing Yugas have anything to do with Global Warming and Climate Change. I saw a program that stated the fossil record shows that many animals not normally found in or near the Arctic Circle were found to have lived close to it many thousand of years ago. Is there a written record showing what events took place during a specific Yuga.
By Nayaswami Byasa, Ananda Village.
Through the ages, climate changes have had profound effects on human societies.
Civilizations have been wiped out by a prolonged drought or an extended cold period. The Sahara has switched from rich savanna dotted with lakes to dry sand dunes causing mass migrations of human population.
Today we experience the great impact of natural forces such as tsunamis and hurricanes, monsoon failures, and concern about global warming. No discussion of history on the broad scale would be complete without considering the role of weather....Click here to read full answer in PDF format.

Hello dear friend,
i have read from Swamiji that the transition of yugas happens because of sun's motion around the centre of galaxy. Could you elaborate as to how and why this motion affects human evolution... as is said that nature's workings are unveiled more and more in higher yugas, how exactly and why this happens? what about other planets.. are there different yugas there? Are the planets closer to the centre of galaxy more evolutionarily advanced?
It's actually a bit more complicated that just the motion around the galactic center: It's the sun's revolution around a dual star, that brings it alternately closer to, then farther from, the galactic center.
It affects human evolution in that the galactic center emits powerful energy that lifts our consciousness, and the closer we get to the center, the more energy (hence upliftment) we receive. As we get more of that energy (i.e., as we enter higher yugas), we live more in harmony with nature and with our own selves, and thus are better able to perceive nature's workings.
The other planets in our solar system experience the same phenomenon, although mankind has not yet discovered on those planets any life forms with intelligence similar to that of humans. However, there are, Yoganandaji said, other planets in other solar systems that do have life forms similar to humans (in essence, if not in physical appearance), and they would experience their own versions of yugas, depending on how close they are to the galactic center, whether their suns orbit around dual stars, etc. And if such planets are closer to the galactic center, it seems likely that the intelligent life forms thereon are more evolved than humans because they receive more energy from the galactic center.
