Book description to come.

Originally written in Marathi, ‘Ayurveda Garbha Sanskar’ is a book that serves as a guide to a couple who are looking to start a family, starting out by getting pregnant, giving birth to a healthy child and nurturing the little one. The book comprehensively provides people everything that a person wants to know about conceiving, pregnancy and delivery to nurturing the little one for up to 2 years of age. Not simply a book laden with known-lectures, rather this book can be seen as an elaboration of various ancient Ayurvedic practices that leads to the complete well-being of the mother and child’s physical, spiritual and psychological health. It also advises on the traditional herb mixes, yoga, music and mantras that the new-mothers or the mothers-to-be may find helpful. Besides, this book also charts a nutritious Ayurvedic diet-plan for the couples to detoxify their bodies and be healthy in the right sense of the term. Once a mother conceives, she must be able to nourish and condition the little one in her womb. Likewise, this book also provides a month-by-month nutrition plan that helps in proper nourishment of the baby. Yoga and full-body herbal oil massages during pregnancy are also recommended for the mothers-to-be along with a list of health tonics prescribed in this book. In order to reach out to more people worldwide, this book has been translated in English, and is available in hardcover.

The transformative power of education is widely recognised. Yet, harnessing the transformative power of education is complex for exactly those people and communities who would benefit the most. Much scholarship is available describing the ways in which educational access, opportunity and outcomes are unequally distributed; and much scholarship is dedicated to analysing and critiquing the ‘problems’ of education. This volume gratefully builds on such analysis, to take a more constructive stance: examining how to better enable education to fulfil its promise of transforming lives. Harnessing the Transformative Power of Education returns overall to a broader language of educational change rather than reduce our sense of scale and scope of ‘transformation’ to what might be measured in or by schools. It offers a series of practical, local but system wide and socially responsible practices, policies and analyses to support the ways that education can work at its best. The projects described here vary in scale and scope but are rooted in a wider sense of community and social responsibility so that education is considered as a necessary sustainable process to ensure productive futures for all. Its contributors include not only scholars, but also professional experts and young people. The book’s aim is to share and advance authentic possibilities for enabling all children and young people to flourish through the transformative power of education.
