The entire fabric of life is made of colors, whether our clothes are yes, home, or car. Everyone is identified with colors. Colors have specific effects on human life and mind. Color is a valuable gift of nature and also the beauty of human life. The redness of the dawn, the blue sky, the gray mountains, the straw, the green plants and the trees, the turquoise sea - everything unique and wonderful. The relationship between man and nature is also unbreakable. Sometimes Basanti yellow, sometimes greenery sawan, sometimes Sitabh and sometimes Tamavruta night. This is also the journey of man's life. Sometimes golden hope and sometimes disappointment. The cloudy sky blurts the mind as well, the rays of the sun rip it off, making everything clear. If there is no color in life, then it will become very dry and dry. जीवन का समूचा ताना-बाना रंगों से बना है, चाहे हमारे वस्त्र हांे, घर हो, या गाड़ी हो। सबकी पहचान रंगों के साथ है। रंगों का मनुष्य के जीवन और मन पर विशिष्ट प्रभाव होता है। रंग प्रकृति की बहुमूल्य देन है और मानव के जीवन का सौंदर्य भी। उषाकाल की लालिमा, नीलाभ नभ, भूरे पहाड़, तिनकों, पौधों और पेड़ों की हरिताभा, फीरोज़ी समुद्र- सबकुछ विशिष्ट और अद्भुत। मनुष्य और प्रकृति का संबंध भी अटूट है। कभी बसंती पीला तो कभी हरियाला सावन, कभी सिताभ तो कभी तमावृता रात। ऐसे ही मनुष्य की जीवन-यात्रा भी है। कभी सुनहली आशा तो कभी निराशा की कालिमा। मेघाच्छादित आकाश मन को भी धुँधला देता है तो उसे चीरती सूर्य की किरण, सबकुछ स्पष्ट करने वाली। यदि जीवन में रंग न हांे तो बहुत शुष्क और नीरस हो जाए।

Color is an integral part of our life. Colors have such a deep relationship with human life that one cannot realize human happiness in a colorless world. It is only through colors that we can see from the greenery of the nature to the golden light of the sun, the blue of the sky, the black of the clouds and the light of the moon. The seven-color rainbow line drawn in the clouds tells a beautiful story of each color. Seeing which the mind becomes a part of the colorful world. Colors also have a definite role in the multi-colored life of human beings. Colors have a profound effect on the human brain. Modern psychologists believe that the likes of color and influence affect the entire equation of a man's life. This strength of colors has also made it useful for healing. There are many diseases, colors are used for the treatment of them. Due to these characteristics, it has been named color therapy. रंग हमारे जीवन का एक अभिन्न हिस्सा है। रंगों का मानव जीवन के साथ इतना गहरा रिश्ता है कि बेरंग दुनिया में मानव खुशियों का एहसास ही नहीं कर सकता। रंगों के माध्यम से ही प्रकृति की हरियाली से लेकर सूरज की सुनहरी रोशनी, आसमान का नीलापन, बादलों की काली घटाएं और चन्द्रमा का उजलापन देख पाते है। बादलों में खिंचती सात रंगों की इन्द्रधनुषी रेखा प्रत्येक रंग की सुन्दर कहानी बयां करती है। जिसे देखकर मन रंगीन दुनिया का हिस्सा बन जाता है। मनुष्य के बहुरंगों जीवन में रंगों की भी एक निश्चित भूमिका होंती है। रंग मनुष्य के मस्तिष्क पर गहरा असर डालते है। आधुनिक मनोवैज्ञानिकों की मान्यता है कि रंगों की पसन्द व प्रभाव से आदमी की जिन्दगी का पूरा समीकरण प्रभावित होता है। रंगों की इस ताकत ने उसे उपचार के लिए भी उपयोगी बना दिया है। कईं सारी बीमारियाँ है, जिनके उपचार के लिए रंगों का इस्तेमाल किया जाता है। इन खूबियों के कारण इसे कलर थेरेपी यानी रंग चिकित्सा का नाम दिया गया है।

More than the cultural values contained in the management of natural resources in Maluku will always include the principles and traditions of sasi and adat because they are an intrinsic part of a culture which for centuries has proven to be adaptive and resistant to external disturbances. The purpose of this study was to determine the orientation of the cultural value of sasi in Maluku. The method used is qualitative research, where observation, interviews and documentation are used to collect data from informants. The results showed that talking about cultural values in sasi would be related to the concept of the nature of human life, the work of human life, human position and space and time, the nature of man and nature as well as the relationship between humans and humans and other people. Where the culture of sasi illustrates what humans must do, It is hoped that sasi culture will remain a part of the Saparua indigenous people so that people will continue to choose the values of sasi cultural orientation so that social life and ecological life will continue to be sustainable from the control of sasi cultural values.

What do Montaigne’s Essays have in common with modern philosophy? ‘The origins of French philosophy’ explains different approaches to relativism, humanism, and scepticism in the writings of Montaigne and Descartes, and lesser-known philosophers Gassendi and Malebranche. As a cleric, Gassendi shaped his conclusions around Christian doctrine. When Descartes was unable to argue a central scientific theory because of the Church—that the Earth revolves around the Sun—he became preoccupied by the possibility of absolute, indisputable knowledge. Thus, ontology in French philosophy was replaced with epistemology—the study of knowledge. How did early modern philosophers explain the relationship between God, the mind, and the body?

Everything that exists in this world, which is visible, has its own color. Whether it belongs to space, planets, constellations, animals found on earth, birds, trees, rivers, humans, man-made objects etc., all things are independent of their existence due to the many colors. Those people who are lucky have a sense of varna. The reason for the sense of varna is we feel the beauty of this world.Varna realization happens only in the presence of light. Varna is the quality of light. "Physiology scholars state that light enters the eyes through the pupils." Stops directly on the back of the eye. There are two types of fibers on the retina called 'Rhodus' and Coens which are related to the vision veins. Through the nerves, it has a direct effect on our brain. Therefore, the color of day and night appears white and black. Color originates from light. Sun is the biggest form of light. The kind of object that is visible by the influence of the Sun is the same and as soon as the light is lost the object is of any type, black is visible only. इस संसार में जो कुछ भी अस्तित्व में है जो दृष्टव्य है सबका अपना-अपना रंग है। चाहे बात अंतरिक्ष, ग्रह, नक्षत्रों, पृथ्वी पर पाये जाने वाले पशु, पक्षियों वृक्षों, नदियों, मानवों, मानव निर्मित वस्तुओं आदि किसी की भी हो, सभी वस्तुएँ अनेकानेक रंगों की होने के कारण अपना स्वतन्त्र अस्तित्व रखती है। वे लोग भाग्यशाली है जिन्हें वर्णो का बोध है। वर्ण बोध का कारण ही हमें इस संसार के सौन्दर्य का आभास होता हैं।वर्ण बोध हमें प्रकाश की उपस्थिति में ही होता है वर्ण प्रकाश का ही गुण हैं। ‘‘शरीर विज्ञान के विशारदों का कथन है कि पुतलियों के द्वारा प्रकाश नेत्रों में प्रवेश करता है। सीधा नेत्र के पीछे के भाग पर रूक जाता है। रेटीना पर ‘रोडस’ और कोन्स नामक दो प्रकार के तन्तु होते हैं जिनका सम्बन्ध दृष्टि सम्बन्धी नसों से होता है। तंत्रिकाओं के द्वारा इसका सीधा प्रभाव हमारे मस्तिष्क पर पड़ता है। अतः दिन रात का रंग सफेद और काला दिखाई देता है। रंग की उत्पत्ति प्रकाश से ही होती है। सूर्य प्रकाश का सबसे बड़ा स्वरूप है। सूर्य के प्रभाव से जो वस्तु जिस प्रकार की है वह वैसी ही दिखाई देती है और जैसे ही प्रकाश का लोप होता है वस्तु किसी भी प्रकार की हो, काली ही दृष्टिगोचर होती हैं।

: This paper entitled “Role of Nature in Michelle Cohen Corasanti’s The Almond Tree” represents the relationship man has with nature and vice versa. It also explains that though The Almond Tree is a war novel, Corosanti brings in the tint of nature here and there in the novel. It also talks about certain ways through which nature can be retained and the double destruction on nature due to the man-made causes. The obliteration caused to man and to nature by war has been portrayed in this paper. It is the duty of every human being to look after the well being of nature. When one put in the effort to protect the nature, it naturally attracts others to protect the nature. Unless protecting the nature, it is the future generation which suffers the most than the present generation. In short, this paper stresses on the necessity of protecting the nature. God, the creator of the whole world, creates nature as well as man. He then delivers the nature in the hands of man with a hope that man gives priority to protect his creation. Nature is a mother, nurturer, doctor, teacher and entertainer. It is filled with adventures, amusements, beauty and sometimes even danger. There is a balance within the ecosystem to enjoy the benefits of mutual co-existence. When this balance is maintained, there blooms peace and happiness. But if any one of it tries to dominate, there would be great tragedy. Nature is a best healer in every situations of human life. Though selfishness leads the man to destroy the nature, there are few people who are able to understand the importance of nature. There is a deep relationship between the man and nature. So, it is necessary to look at the relationship between the nature and the man in Corasanti’s The Almond Tree.

Rivers and the construction of identity The collection of youth memories “Met ’n eie siekspens” (Engela van Rooyen) and the novel “Manaka: plek van die horings” (Pieter Pieterse) complement each other as literary embodiments of the phenomenon that human life and identity are influenced by an aspect of the characters’ natural environment, namely the river. This article focuses on the nature and extent of the influence of rivers on the development of identity in characters in these two works. In “Met ’n eie siekspens” the formative role of the Orange River is connected with a complex relationship between man and river in which elements of devotion collide with those of enslavement. The values taught by the river and its surroundings are core components of the characters’ identities. In “Manaka: plek van die horings”, the main character’s dream of a life on the Zambezi is part of his identity, in that it embodies selfrealisation and has directed his thinking and self-image since childhood. The river and its surroundings, however, later on also play an important role in the re-interpretation of his life goal and the acquisition of a wider understanding of his true identity. This investigation underlines the importance of research into the portrayal of the relationship between man and nature within the broader field of study in which the portrayal of matters of identity in Afrikaans literature is investigated.

The article focuses on the standard features of different idyllic chronotope associated with the unity of the folklore period. Emphasis is placed on the inseparability of human life from a particular place where ancestors lived and where descendants will live. In Taras Prohasko’s novel “The UnSimple”, great importance is attached to family traditions, according to which children at the age of fifteen were shown places related to family history. M. Bakhtin calls this feature the unity of place. This feature unites generations, blurs the time boundaries between the individual life of each person and different periods of the same life. The rhythmic cycle of time is demonstrated in the novel “The UnSimple” on the example of Sebastian and his Anna, who was the only possible woman in his life. In Taras Prokhasko’s novel, the opinion is affirmed that the home for most people is an idyllic place, the basis of biography and the result of existence. It is a place where a person feels protected and confident. The relationship between man and nature in work is shown idealized. Through an exaggerated image of floriculture, the author offers an alternative world in which a responsible, caring, careful attitude to the world around us prevails. It is proved that in Taras Prohasko’s novel “The UnSimple”, the landscape is both a necessary and sufficient condition for a complete human life. It was found that the most important place in T. Prokhasko’s prose is given to the epic of family places, which are the basis of the idyllic chronotope.

Art and beauty - these two words are very similar in the world of art, but also very detailed. We are not able to make any difference between art and beauty on a grand scale. Beauty is a mental state and it is limited since time immemorial. This beautiful tree has two branches - one is nature and the other art. Artistic beauty can be considered from two angles. The first point of view is that in which we consider the artist in the center, that is, how an artwork takes shape in the imagination of the artist and how it appears in front of the audience. In the second view, the viewer is kept in the center, that is, how the artwork reacts to the mind of the viewer and how it changes in its personality or social life. Varna has special significance in the taste of any work. In fact, there is a series of light in the varna space, that is, the quality of light. The human life rhythm and time is created by 1 varna. The beautiful scheme of the varnas gives a beautiful look to the work. Varna is also described as an important part of art in the six parts of Indian art. Ancient texts such as 'Shilparatna', 'Kadambari', 'Natyashastra' and 'Vishnudharmottara Purana' are detailed descriptions of the types and importance of varnas. The source of the varna is the sun. Just as the Sun is the source of all energy, similarly the characters are also produced by its light. In the month of Magha or the rainbow which appears in the sky in the rainy season, there are seven characters in it, which causes the viewer to get sunlight 3, so the origin of the varna is the source of sunlight. The aura of different colors that we see in our daily life is possible only through light. Colors have no existence in a closed dark room, because darkness is blind. कला और सौन्दर्य-ये दो शब्द कला जगत में एक जैसे होते हुए भी बहुत विस्तृत हैं। स्थूल तैार पर हम कला और सौन्दर्य में कोई अन्तर नहीं कर पाते। सौन्दर्य एक मानसिक अवस्था है और वह देश-काल से मर्यादित है। इस सौन्दर्य रूपी वृक्ष की दो शाखायें हैं-एक प्रकृति तथा दूसरी कला। कलागत सौन्दर्य पर दो दृष्टियों से विचार किया जा सकता है। पहली दृष्टि यह है जिसमें हम कलाकार को केन्द्र में रखकर विचार करते हैं अर्थात् कलाकार की कल्पना में किस प्रकार कोई कलाकृति आकार ग्रहण करती है और वह किस रूप में दर्शकों के सम्मुख प्रकट होती है। दूसरी दृष्टि में दर्शक को केन्द्र में रखा जाता है, अर्थात् कलाकृति को निरख दर्शक के मन में क्या प्रतिक्रिया उत्पन्न होती है और उसके व्यक्तित्व अथवा सामाजिक जीवन में किस प्रकार कितनी मात्रा में परिवर्तन करती है। किसी भी कृति के रसास्वादन में वर्ण का विशेष महत्व है। वस्तुतः वर्ण स्पेस में प्रकाश की शृंखला है, अर्थात् प्रकाश का गुण है।1 वर्णों द्वारा ही मानव-जीवन लय तथा रसमय होता है। वर्णों का सुन्दर योजन ही कृति को मनोरम रूप प्रदान करता है। भारतीय कला के छः अंगों में वर्ण भी कला के महत्वपूर्ण अंग के रूप में वर्णित है। ‘शिल्परत्न’, ‘कादम्बरी’, ‘नाट्यशास्त्र’ तथा ‘विष्णुधर्मोत्तर पुराण’ आदि प्राचीन ग्रन्थों में वर्णों के प्रकार एवं महत्व का सविस्तार वर्णन है। वर्ण का स्रोत सूर्य है। जिस प्रकार सूर्य सभी ऊर्जाओं का स्रोत है उसी प्रकार वर्ण भी उसके प्रकाश से ही उत्पन्न होते हैं।2 माघ मास में या वर्षा ऋतु में आकाश में जो इन्द्रधनुष दिखाई देता है, उसमें सात वर्ण होते हैं जो वर्ण दर्शक को सूर्य के प्रकाश के कारण ही दिखाई देते हैं।3 अतः वर्ण का उत्पत्ति-स्रोत सूर्य का प्रकाश ही है। हमें भी अपने दैनिक जीवन में विभिन्न रंगों की जो आभा दिखाई देती है, उसका अस्तित्व प्रकाश द्वारा ही संभव है। एक बंद अंधेरे कमरे में रंगों का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं होता, क्योंकि अंधेरा अंधा होता है।

<p><em>The human body in the concept of Hinduism consists of three layers called Tri Sarira, namely: Sthula Sarira (body), Suksma Sarira (subtle body) and Anthakarana Sarira (causative body). Stula Sarira or coarse body is the outermost layer of the human body which is formed from the Panca Maha Buta, which consists of: Pertiwi (solid element), Apah (liquid element), Bayu (air element), Teja (heat / light element), and Akasa (ether). Suksma Sarira or subtle body which is a layer of the body that cannot be seen or touched, but is present    in mankind for example the mind. Anthakarana Sarira is a fine layer that is the cause of human life called Atman. Birth is closely related to the procurement of offspring, serves to pay birth debt. Debt in Sanskrit    is called Rna, which developed into Tri Rna, including: debt to the Gods (Dewa Rna), debt to parents or ancestors (Pitra Rna), and debt to the Rsi (Rsi Rna). In “Lontar Anggastya prana” it is told that the life of the baby while in the womb the mother is guarded and protected by Hyang Siwa / Siwatma.</em></p><em>The process of creation (uttpti) begins with interest or liking at the age of adolescence until the relationship occurs / intercourse until fertilization occurs between spermatozoid (kama petak) with ovum (kama bhang) becomes Sang Hyang Antigajati in the form of the seed of life. When a child is looking for birth, he is called Sang Hyang Siwatma. When humans are born into the world, he is accompanied by four brothers called Chess Sanak in the form of Yeh Nyom (amniotic fluid), placenta, shampoo, and blood. The Catur Sanak accompanies humans from birth as Sang Anggapati, Sang Prajapati, Sang Bhanaspati, and Sang Bhanaspatiraja, until humans die and change their designation according to human development, and continue with the depiction of God in the human body in the form of sacred characters.</em>

This note examines the relationship between affirmative action (AA) program perceptions and women’s self-ascribed capacity and desire to become leaders. We propose that women who believe that their organization implements a program of preferential selection toward women will experience negative psychological effects leading to lowered self-expectations for leadership, but that this effect will be moderated by their justice perceptions of AA programs. We test this proposition empirically for the first time with a Latin American female sample. Among Brazilian women managers, desire but not self-ascribed capacity to lead was reduced when they believed an AA policy was in place. Both desire’s and capacity’s relationships with belief in an AA policy were moderated by justice perceptions.
