Super magic Hexagon for Trigonometric identities Tricks

~ Durai, Kugan

The super hexagon is a special diagram that helps the children to remember all the trigonometric identities and trigonometric functions visually [also requires memory].

How to draw the super hexogen

Draw the hexagon and we need to join all the opposite vertices and place the value 1 in the center of the hexagon.

Write the tan on the left vertex of the hexagon and use the quotient to identify the tangent ongoing clockwise, starting with tan = sin/cos.

Then add:

  • cot (which is cotangent) on the opposite
    side of the hexagon to tan
  • csc (which is cosecant) next, and
  • sec (which is secant) last

Fill the reciprocal identities on the opposite side. Now the super magic hexagon is ready

Create Quotient identities

To understand the first set of formulae will let try around the hexagon in the clockwise direction, for the next set of directions will let try around the hexagon in the anti-clockwise direction.

Now we take any three continuing functions in the hexagon like  . If the product of the first and the third functions result in the function between them

Now focus on the function diagonally opposite vertices. They are reciprocal of each other

Focus the hexagon we found the six triangles. Focus only three triangle which s shadow in the image. Here we go clockwise within each one of the triangles starting with top left position. Square of the sum top two point of the triangle is equal to square off the bottom point of the triangle.

Anti-clock wise Here we go anti-clockwise within each one of the triangles starting with top left position. Square of the subtraction top two point of the triangle is equal to square off the bottom point of the triangle

English Class

~Sandhiya, Prabha

As part of the continued learning program at STEM land, we took two courses “Grammatically correct English: writing and speaking” and “Advanced English course” along with other teachers and staff of SAIIER.  Sessions were held twice a week from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays.  The course was an offering of SAIIER and will be free of charge to the participants.

This was an intensive course that required homework ranging from 15 minutes to half an hour.The teacher for the course is Miss. Vatsla had many years of experience teaching English.

The advanced course had around 15 members and was conducted over 3 months

  • Introducing self
  • Use of used to/ never used to
  • Apostrophe’s
  • Use of Articles
  • 12 Tenses and Rules
  • Chart: Affirmative, Negative, Interrogative, and Interrogative + negative.
  • Practice with the help of a chart
  • Article Combination
  • Difference between few and little
  • Modals
  • Prepositions
  • Condition clauses
  • Chain of condition clauses
  • Use of I am yet to
  • Sentences with has to, have to, had to, will have to
  • Sentences with I came to know about

In advanced course has around 11 members and 8 classes, and everyone has teachers from in and around Auroville. So far, we Covered,

  • Active and Passive voice
  • Direct and Indirect Speech

These are the list we practiced in advance class,

  • Debate with ourself
  • Given a topic/word and create narration in front of others
  • Given the situation for two members and talk about that.
  • Create a sentence and end others’ sentences.
  • Write the paragraph for the given topics
  • Strengths and weakness
  • Few lines about Diwali
  • Few lines about home town
  • Peer learning with ourselves for easy understanding.

The more work I have, the easier it is to find time to meditate and exercise

~ Sanjay Tumati

There used to be a time when I used to consider having too much work, a valid reason for not finding time to meditate. Isn’t that what you hear all the time? It’s what I hear all the time. These days, those same words make me laugh as I would laugh at genuinely good inside joke with close friends.

I have never been busier in my life than I have been at c3StreamLand and never have I meditated so regularly, so effortlessly. Not only do I meditate regularly, I manage to exercise regularly as well, again effortlessly. This was brought home to me during the Pongal Holidays when I went to visit relatives. There was no work to do, and I struggled mightily to meditate daily and I did absolutely no physical exercise there whatsoever. And it’s not just this visit. It is the pattern in any situation where life is comfortable. Why is that? Here are some humble reflections

I meditate regularly at C3StreamLand because life here is so challenging. I have to teach, to work and earn a living, deliver projects on time, make sure team members deliver, do registration for a Vipassana center, handle finances for a school, supervise an electronics lab, come up with new experiments, try to work on practical circuits such as inverters and adaptors, branch into a new area of work such as firmware programming, handle Vipassana group sits for the community in Auroville. I need a very sharp mind to be able to keep all this going on a daily basis. So I am forced to meditate everyday and also exercise regularly or else I will be overwhelmed by the responsibilities I have taken up.

I see that exercise and meditate regularly keeps me at my full potential. If I am not at my full potential I fail disastrously. . There is no middle way here. There is no possibility of a Chalta-hai (it’s ok) attitude. No dependence on last minute Jugaad (wing it). I notice that in a meditation session when I have meditation session where I struggle through the 1 hour session without as much concentration, I know I benefitted from the meditation because of the sharpness of mind that I experience in discharging my responsibilities.

I can’t afford to indulge my senses via net surfing or overeating as I immediately experience a dullness of mind that again does not permit me to discharge the responsibilities I have taken up. So wholesome work that is also challenging also drives lifestyle changes in other areas.

Thus, it becomes clear that the problem with not meditating is not too much work. It never is. The problem is lack of motivation. When I am engaged in wholesome work all day and I know I need a sharp mind to complete the work, I will somehow find the time for both meditation and exercise. When I do not actually have any work to do, any responsibilities to discharge, I somehow never find the time to either meditate or exercise. How strange!!!

I am now discovering my own version of GoenkaJi’s admonition that one must meditate 2 hours everyday except when one is extremely busy in which case one must meditate 3 hours.

Ardiuno Projects

~ Sivaraman

Arduino projects are done for the learning of embedded systems programming. In simple terms, this supports make projects that are programmable yet interact with the real world. These games were programmed in C language, which can also be written with snap4ardiuno, interactive programming  for children and includes a module for Arduino.

While children/youth who have been coming to STREAM Land have been programming in Scratch we had not been able to create an interesting context for them to move to hardware programming since COVID. This changed in the recent Christmas Fair where children were making games that others could play. It seemed so much fun that the youth also wanted to demonstrate their programming skills and out came the Arduinos. [Siva Sankaran, Sivaraman Ramamoorthy] Here are a few games that were made that were popular with the children.

Simon Says

This project is a memory follow game where you have to follow the led blinks and need to click on the appropriate flow of blinks to win the game.

Runner Game

This game is runner game where hops and hide are made using a push button to hop and hide to maintain the flow to the run.

Shooting Game

This one is the difficult to play with two hand was made purpose fully to make the game harder, one hand should control the x axis movement and second hand is for the shooting control

 

What I learnt when I wanted to teach Algebra

This year I teach mathematics for 8th grade children in Udavi at STEM land. I wanted to teach Algebra for children and I have created a lesson plan for the same. Sanjeev gave feedback on it and has made a video on motivation algebraic identity and suggested them to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d53Mgu-NLBw&t=222s

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTvJ-69xJWI&t=106s

From that video I have learnt to connect the previous concepts while introducing a new concept to children. I learnt to connect the dots between algebraic identities and the short cuts we use to find square of two-digit number and Vedic mathematics method.

When I thought my learning to children, they were happy to unbox the magic behind the short cut method of finding square root of two-digit numbers and started to see the logic. They started to ask for more practice questions and were able to see the connection.

I’m now a believer in Blogs, experience at Vipassana half day courses

~Sanjay Tumati

For some time, I was sceptical about the value of blogs and the value of photos and posting on Blogs as social media such as WhatsApp. I did not think that they actually inspired anyone and I never bothered much about photos and blogs. To be sure, I maintained a journal for myself from time to time and found it useful, but never shared these with others. Usually it was because I thought others would not be interested but sometimes I am not comfortable sharing.

At C3SLD we organize a half day Vipassana session for about 4 hours at our Udavi campus every Sunday. We would receive around 6-7 meditators some of whom meditate for only part of the four hours. And this is largely the case week after week for months.

Last week, Sanjeev suggested taking a group photo and posting it on the group to motivate others to attend. I was sceptical anything would change. However, we went ahead and did it anyway à Took a group photo and posted it on the group. The very next week, the turnout doubled to 15 to the extent that we ran out of space for men. This was happening right before my eyes. These are real world results. I can’t argue with results and what my eyes see.

 

Now I am more optimistic about the impact of blogs and sharing photos and reflections. I took photos with more enthusiasm and also posted them on the group with some comments to motivate others to join us. And I have resolved also to post blogs more often. Sanjeev says that people do read our blogs for pointers and it has indeed inspired others to try something new. It was not that I did not believe Sanjeev, just that I did not pay it too much heed based on my back ground conversations and pre conceived notions. However, this experience has definitely been an eye-opener. I may still not post out of laziness, but not because I feel it is ineffective.

The Board of Studies (BOS) meeting for B.Voc with Pondicherry University

~ Durai

C3steamland Design has been running a residential 1 year “Masters” program for called Becoming and Being a Shifu (Master) program for a couple of years. This program supports those who have completed an undergraduate degree in any field learn skills, competencies and inner-capacities through a hands-on individual mentor driven program. This program is not officially certified by any university, but over the last couple of years has become extremely successful. Most of the students who graduated from the program joined us and continue to create this learning environment for others. It got us thinking why we should wait for youth to waste 3 or 4 yrs in undergrad where they don’t seem to have developed much. An opportunity presented itself to partner with AIAT Auroville Institute of Applied Technology) to start a recognized undergraduate course affiliated to the Pondicherry university. The exciting par tof the B.Voc Bachelor of Vocation programs was that we were allowed to design our own syllabus that was applied and holistic. From the C3STREAMland Designs we offered support for two possible courses in software development & machine learning, Applied electronics & chip design. We worked for almost 5 months to create a syllabus for these courses to meet the industrial needs and value of life. During syllabus creation, we also explored recent courses online that are application oriented and were excited with the syllabus which we felt met the real needs of the industry while keeping in mind broadening of character of the individual. In this blog we look at the board of studies that was put together to review the syllabus we came up with from different perspectives of computer science and engineering.

About B.Voc

Looking at the incredible advancement of science, the world continues to face an enormous crisis, especially the rural-urban divide and the disconnection of technological progress from human needs. Auroville is the city of the future and we are here to open the way of the future for youth who belong to the future. Our program and curriculum based on integral education address not only the skills needed by the youth but also the competencies to use these skills to create a life-enhancing culture and interrupt unhealthy social narratives (or ISMs such as casteism, sexism, consumerism, etc.) and develop inner capacity (responsibility, dignity, courage to create) already present in the youth. The B.Voc programs over the three years are targeted for these. The program has been developed by academia, recent neuroscience and leadership training, and industry leaders through research and application and includes recent online learning platforms.

Through this program, we aim to develop the synthesizing mind (ability to abstract, compare, and summarize), the respectful mind (respect and dignity for all), the ethical mind (developing systems and culture with care for people and the planet), and the creative mind (creativity that comes from care as distinguished from innovation which may be limited to something new).

System and cultural shifts

Theory – > Practical education system

Unskilled -> skilled learning

Regular Learning -> industrial learning

Unemployment -> employment and entrepreneurship

Reflection:

The professors really appreciated the spirit with which we had planned the program. What was expected to be a couple of hours of the presentation went on till the evening and even the HOD stayed till the evening to ensure all the questions were captured so it had a unanimous approval and was successful. Experts from different sub-fields emphasized their areas, but could all agree that they wanted the program to be most beneficial for students. It also helped us broaden our horizon so the students were not only oriented towards what we know well, but broadly for industry.

 

Mindstorm Robotics during half yearly exam holidays

Lokeshwaran and Vishwa are studying in 8th grade. They have completed their half yearly exam and had holiday for a week. During this week they were coming to STEM land and were learning Robotics. Along with them another friend of them who studies in Aikiyam school has also come and learnt to do robotics by watching Lokesh and Vishwa. They have built a Mindstorm robot which moves and picks an object when controlled. When I asked Lokesh what made him to come to STEM land during holidays and why he was so much interested to learn Robotics, he said he watched videos of his seniors in Youtube and got an interest to learn. He learnt it on his own by watching videos on Youtube. He said that he is now building a robot snake and will show it to me once it is done.

Here is also a short video on this.

Vipassana meditation: Reflections on Self development

~Sanjay Tumati

Reflections on Self development – I: Plateaus and Vipassana meditation

Before I had heard of C3StreamLand and the work that Sanjeev was doing, I had been meditating within the Vipassana tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin for a fairly long time. The benefits I experienced were not few and are common to several meditators

  1. The near elimination of stressors from short term causes (mental stress that is relevant over the short term, i.e. exam/test results, traffic jams, sports matches etc)
  2. The reduction of stressors from long term causes (Life, Job, Career, Family etc)
  3. Enhanced energy and concentration for work and day to say life
  4. General confidence to take on challenges that one would be afraid of under normal circumstances.
  5. An enhanced interest in personal development
  6. General Happiness

However, most long term Vipassana meditators are aware of what is called the Plateau, a stage where the meditator is able to notice that he/she has stopped making progress. A plateau can last quite a while and can happen to the most experienced meditators. The most common observed response to a plateau is that the meditator stops practicing Vipassana and moves on to something (or nothing) else.

In general, a plateau is a signal that the level of effort that one is expending, or the level of understanding that one is bringing to the practice is insufficient. Several suggestions are made to overcome this plateau

  1. If not meditating daily, start meditating daily
  2. If meditating daily but not two hours a day, increase to 2 hours a day
  3. If meditating two hours a day or having trouble getting to 2 hours a day, start going to group sittings to increase contact with other more experience meditators. The Buddha has stated that good company “is” the spiritual life. This can take the form of
    1. Weekly group sitting conducted by other meditators
    2. Weekly half-day or one-day sits conducted by the center nearest to place of residence
    3. Sit 10 day courses part time during the weekends as often as possible. GoenkaJi has considered the plight of
  4. If meditating daily two hours a day and still experiencing a plateau, one may also go for long courses (20-day, 30-day) all of which deepen one’s understanding
  5. If one has sat long courses and is experiencing a plateau, one may deepen one’s practise by increasing one’s level of seva or service to the sangha
    1. Serve more 10-day courses full time or part time
    2. Start hosting group sittings in your residence or help in hosting them wherever they are being hosted
    3. Volunteer at the center on Day0/Metta day
    4. Long term service at a center
    5. Remote registration service with Dhamma centers

As a meditator who has done almost all of the above (except for Day0 service, 5c), I can attest that one still experiences plateaus and very persistent ones that last for distressingly long periods of time. In the following blog posts, I will outline an alternate method to overcome these plateaus with an introduction to my understanding of RTL along with Vipassana along with the relevant context.

        Reflections on self development – II : What is a Sangha

Having experienced persistent plateaus after plenty of effort as outlined in my last post, I recollected my mind to the time of the most rapid growth that I had experienced.

  1. A few years after having been introduced to Vipassana when everything was new and exciting
  2. During a period where I was in contact with a most excellent meditator (Suresh Venkumahanti, who is now an AT living in Austin. I mention the name since I will reference him)

The solution then was clear à I must in contact with a person who is a most excellent meditator. It is the company of excellent meditators that constitutes a sangha. The best way to be in contact with such a person is to work with that person. To support him in his endeavours, to make his endeavours one’s own à eventually all endeavours are one to the extent that they all point towards one’s personal growth.

Now, we come to the question of who is a most excellent meditator. Suresh here provided the clue himself. An excellent meditator is one who takes up worthwhile challenges, tasks that are not being done because they are difficult, where failure is a real option, one who is not afraid of standing alone and one who discharges them all with a smile while constantly seeking to increase one’s capacity. Suresh did not say that an excellent meditator is someone who does long courses, stays and serves at centers long term, sits and serves several courses a year at centers, always dressed in white , etc and other outward appearances.

I consider myself very fortunate here that life brought me into contact with and kept me in contact with another very Suresh-like meditator, Sanjeev. Sanjeev and his qualities are very well known to everyone likely to read this blog post and I will therefore spare everyone the details and end this post here

Reflections on Self development – III : An RTL Workshop leads toC3StreamLand

C3StreamLand (Formerly StemLand, AuraAuro Design) is the organization for which Sanjeev has taken up responsibility at Auroville. If you are already reading this post, then you need no introduction to C3StreamLand or what it does or what it’s objectives are. To me, C3StreamLand is, if not the ideal Sangha, then the best Sangha that I know of, that I can be part of. The reasons for this have been outlined in another blog post on this website and there is no need for me to repeat myself here.

The question that came to me after a few months of stay here was, what would motivate Sanjeev to set up some place like this? Setting up even an ordinary organization is a very challenging and frustrating endeavor indeed. What would motivate someone to set up an organization that primarily does social work, does not depend on external donations, finances it’s social work via its own revenue generation in a cut-throat commercial environment (*1), provide an opportunity for each person to take responsibility for their growth, and create a space for everyone who comes in contact with the organization? These are not the aims of an ordinary organization. Certainly, the effort involved, or the wisdom involved, in setting up and running such an organization must be great indeed.

Pre-2015 Sanjeev too was reveling in the need to spend time with children and staying in that comfort zone until he was introduced to a self-reflection technique called RTL. It is when he attended his second RTL that he realized that he was setting his sights too low and that if he was to unlock his full potential, he could not continue with his prior ways any longer. It is important to note that at the time, Sanjeev had already been regularly practicing Vipassana meditation for 6 years since his first course in 2009. Any technique that can bring forth such a realization in a long term Vipassana meditator is definitely a technique worth looking into. How do I say that RTL brought forth a realization in Sanjeev and not just a fast-dissipating feel-good Aha moment? By what followed afterwards à C3StreamLand. It is by its fruits that you know the tree.

*1: I notice that people who claim to be spiritual or have a social consciousness can look down on commercial work, and some may also not be up for the rigor it needs.

Reflections on Self Development – IV: A Buddhist Monk endorses anRTL-like process and a synthesis between RTL and Vipassana

I have been introduced to RTL only 18 months back and me being a slow learner, my understanding is very shallow at best and so I will not attempt here to give an overview of the technique. Instead, here I will share how my understanding of RTL has shaped my practice of Vipassana so far.

I shared my reflections on Self development plateaus in my very first post on the series. I once asked a Buddhist Monk this very question on why so many Vipassana meditators are experiencing such plateaus in spite of putting up what looked like substantial effort (*1). The Bhante’s (*2) answer was as short as it was instructive, the self-reflective component may be missing from the practice of the meditators. Their practice may have become mechanical without understanding what they are doing, why they are doing it and why/how what they are doing must help them go where they want to go. They forget the rationale behind the process and start worshipping the process and forget to benefit from it.

The Bhante’s explanation of the behavior of meditators is analogous to the Math student who memorizes that formulas, memorizes the algorithm for computing HCF/LCM/Limits/Integral/Differential without understanding what about the principle implies. Sure, he can compute the LCM when you ask him to, but he/she may not be able to recognize a real life LCM problem as an LCM problem. Similarly, the meditator who mechanically observes sensations and superficially watches them come and go (Anicca) on the mat but when those same sensations come up in real life either as temptation or fear or sloth, he is strangely unable to do what he did with aplomb on the mat. He then concludes that what is needed is more 10-day courses, more long courses, more service at a center, more long term service at a center, or worse, that the technique does not work and drop Vipassana altogether.

Now the question arises, what does it mean to observe sensations with understanding? It is not necessary to go into an description of the Bhante’s instructions except that they seem remarkably close to what is done in RTL. Here is how RTL comes into the Bhante’s words? RTL is in fact a self-reflection technique that invites me to reflect on the core of my being  (*3). The RTL technique then invites me to reflect on the learnings from the self-reflection that I just performed. It invites me to reflect on exactly what constitutes an insight, a realization

The table below offers my opinion on the Synthesis between RTL and Vipassana

RTL Vipassana
What do I believe in?  What do I care about? What is my stand? Why am I practising Vipassana, why am I meditating? What qualities am I hoping to cultivate?
What am I doing about what I believe in and what I care about How will observing sensations in this particular manner help me cultivate those qualities.

 

Is this action I am undertaking right now in sync with my stand? Am I observing this sensation in a way that is conducive to cultivate the quality I desire?
What did I learn about myself from this experience? What did I learn about myself from this sensation? Did I learn that my automatic response to any sensation is to push it away (aversion) or attempt to hold on to it (craving, ego enhancement)? For that matter, what did I learn from this blank area? I learnt that I hate it! Why? Because it indicates to me that my mind is gross from which I conclude that I am a poor meditator à Ego
What insights did I generate How do I feel when I notice a sensation passing away?
What will I do differently next time? Having noticed that my spontaneous response to any sensation is craving or aversion, what will I do to break this habit pattern? And why do I believe that what I plan to do will indeed break this habit pattern?
What did I do well this time? Was I really able to generate insight into the Anicca nature of this sensation? Did the thought that this sensation is Anicca arise spontaneously as I became aware of the sensation or was it more superficial than that? Was I truly able to notice the sense of loss at a sensation passing away?

 

(*1): Substantial to the extent that a householder is capable of.

(*2): Bhante is how laypeople address monks, Literally Venerable Sir. For Nuns, correspondingly, Ayya

(*3): Shades of Ramana Maharishi

 

Yoga class for Shifuians

Becoming and Being a Shifu (Master) program focuses on developing skills, competencies and inner capacities in graduates through a 1 year residential program. Muthukumari, a yoga and healing therapist, had offered that she can do yoga class for our team members. I thought it will be useful for the Shifuians and asked them if they were interested. Seven of them were interested and Muthukumari was happy to come on campus and offer the sessions. So far six sessions have been conducted. One of our employees has also joined the class.

The goal of this session is to introduce the asanas for good mental health, physical health and wellbeing. Muthukumari expects that after few sessions when people will master these asanas they will be able to do these as part of their daily routine.
