13 COMMUNICATOR VOLUME 20 NUMBER 10 OCTOBER 20 THOUGHT OF THE MONTH Anger is the enemy of nonviolence and pride is a monster that swallows it up. Mahatma Gandhi BOARD OF TRUSTEES Rami Reddy Mutyala (Chairman) Yogen Dalal (Secretary) Hema Majmudar Alex Jain Harsh Sangani Honnappa Jayakumar Mahendra Desai Neelu Bhardwaj Vipin Chaturvedi Vasanthi Anireddy PUNDIT UVACHA "Cancalam Hi Manah Krsna Pramathi Balavaddrdham Tasyaham Nigraham Manye Vayoriva Suduskaram" This Sloka states that the Individual self is the traveler in the chariot of the material body and the intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument and the senses are the horses. Thus, the self is the enjoyer or sufferer in the relationship of the mind and senses.
