ABSTRACT SriKrishna has presented human ecology (Manusya Loka) as an imperishable banyan tree in Bhagavad Gita that has its roots upward and branches down. The leaves of the plant are the Vedic hymns (human knowledge) and the twigs and buds are the objects of senses. The tree has also roots growing down (towards the branches), which are bound to the fruitive actions of human society. The plant is nourished by the three modes (Gunas) of material nature. The real form of this tree cannot be perceived in this world. No one can understand its foundation, beginning and end. The workculture of detachment is the weapon to cut down this strongly rooted tree, to make oneself free from the cycle of birth and death.

<p><em>Every action will produce a result (phala) which leads to two motives, namely attachment and freedom. Humans in their lives can choose which goals they will achieve. Do they choose to be bound by the results of each work or otherwise surrender all the results of their work as an offering to God. Work done as an offering to God will achieve liberation and joy, on the other hand, work done with the motive of hoping for the result (phala) as a reward will increase the feeling of attachment and sorrow. Therefore, people who want to find happiness and true self must place their goals in work that are entirely an offering to God. This is what is meant by Theology of Work or the term in Bhagavad G</em><em>ī</em><em>t</em><em>ā</em><em> is called Karma Yoga, which is the highest knowledge of a main Principle of Work. The realization of an understanding of the real concept about Theologi of Work can help humans break the chain of reincarnation (punarbhava) by presenting God in every work activity, whether in the form of actions, speech or thoughts.</em></p>

This article is devoted to the study of the structure of simple sentences in Sanskrit based on the material of the Bhagavad Gita text, in particular, the structure of sentences complicated by participial constructions. In the course of the study, it is possible to establish that the main type of participles that complicate simple sentences in Sanskrit are the aoristic participles of the active and passive voice, which in the Western linguistic tradition (English translation), as well as most of the Sanskrit past participles, are classified as participium perfecti passivi. Aorist participles can be translated into Russian by past and present participles of the real and passive voice, short adjectives and verbs in the past tense

Epistemology is the study of the possibility and nature of human knowledge and, as agencies that are concerned with the records of that knowledge; now in both electronic and paper media it seems reasonable to explore the epistemology of library and information work and education for the information occupations. It is clear that, whatever our understanding of the way in which knowledge is created among humans, the records of that knowledge have some 'real' existence - knowledge, that is, what is in the intellectual apparatus of the individual (or 'between two ears' as Drucker puts it) may be socially constructed, but what can be recorded of that knowledge, that is, what we otherwise call 'information', takes a 'real' form. The 'real' form may be difficult to see, as in the case of the symbols cut by a laser on a CD-ROM, or the bits recorded on a hard disc, but they are there. This paper will consider the consequences of a realist epistemology for library and archival science and for education in these fields.

Values are ultimately personal; the implicit message is that there is no right or wrong value. Schools have a moral ethos embodied in rules, rewards and punishments, dress codes, honour codes, relationships, styles of teaching, extracurricular activities, art, and in the expression of respect. Schools convey to children what is expected of them, what is normal, what is right and wrong. It is often claimed that values are caught rather than taught; through their ethos, schools socialise children into patterns of moral behavior. The present study analyses the practice of moral education as described in the Gita with reference to concept of the Self and pedagogy and how the understanding of the Self and pedagogy can help the teachers in improving their character and pedagogical practices in imparting the real form of education to the children for both present and future.
