Atma

Gangtok, Aug 31: The School Soil Health Programme, a training on soil sampling and testing, was organized by ATMA in coordination with the Agriculture Department, Pakyong District, and ICAR-KVK at Eklavya Model Resident School in Parakha.

The inaugural programme was chaired by EAC Peren, Seyiekhrietuo Solo, while brief overview of the training was delivered by Dr Bidhan Das, IIP, Kolkata and vote of thanks was proposed by DFO & PD ATMA Peren, Dory Yanthan.

It also stated that the refund process has been further expedited and refunds are being issued at a greater pace since the FM Nirmala Sitharaman’s announcement made in the Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan last week.

Singh said Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a clarion call for Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyaan and his 5-I formula of Intent, Inclusion, Investment, Infrastructure and Innovation will put the economy on a high growth trajectory.

What keeps the audience engaged primarily is Vennela Kishore’s track — a simpleton who actually sees the ‘atma’ of the dead people and has conversations with them.

According to Bhagavad Gita an "Atma" or soul never dies, what dies is the body only made of five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Sky.

Atma moves with "Parmatma" or the greatest soul.

Dvaita or dualistic concepts reject this, instead identifying the atma as a different and incompatible substance.

In Hinduism, the Sanskrit word most closely corresponding to soul is Atma, which can mean soul or even God.

It is the ‘roohu’ or spirit or atma, the presence of which makes the physical body alive.

Similarly, the spiritual teacher Meher Baba held that "Atma, or the soul, is in reality identical with Paramatma the Oversoul — which is one, infinite, and eternal.

The "Atma" or "Soul" according to Sikhism is an entity or "spiritual spark" or "light" in our body because of which the body can sustain life.

When the Atma becomes embodied it is called birth, when the Aatma leaves a body it is called death.
