Home Archives for 2025 Page 13 My Sleep Alarm! Waking up early has been a common problem for many seekers all over the world. Their biggest complaint is, “We set the alarm, get up, shut it off and fall asleep all over again. How can we overcome this problem and make our day more productive?” Here is a little experiment which you can try… To wake up early… First, determine how much sleep your body needs to feel relaxed and fresh the following morning. Say for eg. 6 hours. This depends on each individual person’s body type and daily activities. An average person needs anywhere from 6 to 8 hours a day. Next, decide your ideal to wake up time say 5 a.m. Then count the hours backwards to fix what time you need to sleep – 11 p.m. The trick is to set the alarm to remind you to sleep at 11 p.m.!!! Give yourself half an hour’s notice, set the alarm for 10.30 p.m. Wind up all your activities and begin to slow down. Sleep at your predetermined time – and let the magic work! Practising this helps you rise early and still feel fresh since you have had enough rest. You are not depriving yourself of sleep but are planning your sleeping hours well. Now you are the master of your sleep and you have that extra time for yourself. You can enjoy the quietude and peace to do all the things that you never had the time for – morning meditation, reading a book, going for a walk, listening to music etc. Yes, you can do it. You too can be an early riser!!!

Home Archives for 2025 Page 13 Mar 2014 Home Archives for 2025 Page 13 Brushstrokes for Change An art competition organised under the Consolidated Community Development initiative sparked creativity and promoted skill-building among 200-plus students and youth from 11 villages. Participants came together to showcase their talents and unique perspectives, making artworks on themes like saving water, environmental conservation, women empowerment, and imaginative expression. The top three participants were awarded, and all participants received valuable feedback from the judges. More than just a contest, the event promoted art as a tool for awareness and self-expression. It offered a platform for rural youth to see creativity as a strength – and even a potential source of livelihood. It encouraged many to pursue art more consciously, proving that creativity holds the potential for both personal and social change.

Home Archives for 2025 Page 13 New Era in Cardiac Care begins in South Gujarat In a significant milestone for healthcare in South Gujarat, Shrimad Rajchandra Hospital and Research Centre successfully performed the region’s first-ever Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). TAVI is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure where a damaged heart valve is replaced via a thin tube, typically inserted from the leg, eliminating the need for open-heart surgery. The procedure was carried out on a 77-year-old woman suffering from severe aortic stenosis, a condition in which the heart valve narrows and restricts blood flow. TAVI is a safer option relative to traditional open-heart surgery, especially for elderly and high-risk patients, offering quicker recovery, shorter hospital stays, and fewer complications. This landmark achievement marks a notable advancement in the region’s healthcare capabilities; bringing world-class, life-saving treatments closer to those in need!
