Welcome to the twentieth anniversary issue of the Journal. This issue celebrates the history and future of Yoga therapy and our association, alongside the kind of practical, educational, and thought-provoking articles that have been this publication's mission since 1990. As I found myself wondering what I could put on this page, I recalled a speaker who opened her talk by asking the elders in the room for permission to speak. "You each have earned the right to speak first," she told them. In this spirit, I would like to use this editor's column to revisit some of the wise words shared by previous Journal editors and authors. I searched the archives for glimpses of our past that address, in some way, the question we find ourselves still asking after twenty years: "What is Yoga therapy?"

In 1970, I began living an odyssey steeped in grace that has carried me these past 40 years. I've had the good fortune to mentor with experts in the fields of psychotherapy, Judeo-Christianity, Taoism, Buddhism, Yoga, and Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine., As the International Journal of Yoga Therapy celebrates its twentieth anniversary, I pause and take note of all that has happened over the past three decades and relish that sublime feeling of satisfaction one gets from seeing one's dream being realized., The day before I started to write this article I sat with eleven other Yoga teachers, each representing a member school of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, each a steward of their Yogic lineage and tradition, each a pioneer in bringing Yoga as a therapy into Western medicine. We met as a standards committee intended to create minimum requirements for Yoga therapist training., One of my favorite quotes states: Planning is absolutely necessary and completely impossible. Clearly, planning or predicting the future of such a new American profession as Yoga therapy is a difficult task. But it is made easier by thinking of this prediction in a new way., I have been on the IAYT board for five years, and I am currently serving as president for a one-year term. Twenty years ago, I was teaching a course called Psychology of Yoga (PSY 352) at Sonoma State University. I created the course in 1969 when I was first hired by the psychology department. When I arrived on campus, the chair of the department asked me, "If you could teach anything you wanted, what would you like to teach?"

Abstract After a discussion of the twentieth anniversary issue, the author of the book which is the subject of our “round table” review of this twenty-fifth anniversary issue: Merry Wiesner Hanks’ What is Early Modern History (2021) is introduced. This is followed by a brief account of the rationale behind the foundation of the JEMH in the 1990s and how, from the very first issue, the journal has tried to decolonize our understanding of the period 1300–1800, as exemplified by Antony Black’s warning that: “we should stop selling off second-hand concepts to unsuspecting non-European cultures.” Passing comment is made on the chronological (as well as geographical) breadth of the coverage of the JEMH which accords well with the recent merger of the Centers for Medieval and Early Modern History at the University of Minnesota (to form the Center for Premodern Studies). At a time when the advocacy of the study of pre-modern history is vital as never before, this situates the JEMH very well. The introduction closes with a series of acknowledgements and thanks not only directed to the editorial team both in Minnesota and Leiden for the support they have given me, as editor-in-chief, since July 2010, but also to the numerous authors and readers of manuscripts who have made the journal what it is today.

This chapter examines how the experience of the crises fueled renewed complaints that remains of socialism prevented Hungarians from attaining a “normal” life of political civility and economic prosperity. It talks about Hungary's twentieth anniversary of 1989, in which the memory of the transition now only inspired the lament that “communism never ended.” With the anniversary of the events in 1989, new political and economic crises appeared to threaten the success of Hungary's postsocialist transformation. The chapter also narrates events on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1956 revolution in 2006 when the right-wing demonstrators protested the socialist-led government and had admitted to lying to win the election. It also discusses the global financial crisis in 2008 that hit Hungary with disproportionate force that lead to the first-ever International Monetary Fund bailout of an EU country.

Monsignor romano guardini, preeminent professor in the University of Munich, has had an enormous influence upon generations of German students and citizens. Now, after the steady and effective translation of his works during the past three decades, he has made a profound impact upon the minds and souls of young American scholars and intellectuals, changing, with the strength of conversion, their ways of dealing with knowledge, with ideas and human realities. In an article written for the twentieth-anniversary issue of The Review of Politics, I pointed out (“The Thinker in the Church: The Spirit of Newman,” January, 1959) that Guardini is a Newman type of thinker in the twentieth century. This is quite true. Certainly the range of his concerns is reminiscent of Newman's: literature (for instance, his studies of Dante, of Dostoevski, notably the legend of the Grand Inquisitor, and of Rilke's Duino Elegies): history (particularly revelation as history); subtle reflections upon theological questions as well as the critical problems of the contemporary political and social scene.
