 Teachings of Lord Kapila, the Son of Devahuti
Indeed, even before Kapila's birth, Lord Brahma himself, the chief created person in this universe, had appeared before Devahuti and revealed to her that her son was to be an incarnation of the Supreme Lord and that this incarnation would enlighten her with spiritual knowledge.
Teachings of Lord Kapila, the Son of Devahuti (along with Srila Prabhupada's complete commentary on Kapila's Sankhya in his edition of Srimad-Bhagavatam) is probably the first major exposition in the English language on the original, theistic Sankhya.
In response, Lord Kapila delineates "the path of the transcendentalists, who are interested in self-realization." Concisely summarizing the actual process of self-realization, Kapila defines consciousness in both the conditioned and liberated states.

In following the apoptosis trail, Kapila is exploring the possibility that bacteria behind severe gum and bone disease trigger the formation of destructive fibronectin fragments that both hamper the natural healing process and disrupt cell survival.
At the same time, Kapila and her research colleagues are trying to determine what if any correlations may exist between specific fibronectin fragments and the state and stage of periodontal disease.
It is precisely this hope -- and the satisfaction it engenders -- that Kapila tries to convey to the dental residents and third-year students she teaches.

 Sankhya Aphorisms of Kapila   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Prior to Kapila, Indian philosophical scene was in a state of diffusion, in that the Sankhya elements of thought were scattered in various Upanisadic texts, which meant no systematic presentation existed insofar as philosophical reflection was concerned.
Kapila accomplished this task by synthesizing the scattered elements of philosophical reflection as well as by giving birth to technical terms that would give appropriate expression to the problems of ontology and epistemology.
In this way Kapila laid the proper foundation for the future development of Indian philosophy, which with the passage of time, found its proper expression in such diverse schools of thought as Vedanta and Tantrism.

The overall purpose of this COHRCD project is to elucidate the role of the female reproductive hormones relaxin, estrogen, and progesterone in the etiopathogenesis of TMJ disease in women.

 India: The Prime Minister Fettered by Dr. Subhash Kapila
India on a rising trajectory, heading for a global power status, can ill afford to project an image where its Prime Minister seems to be fettered in political shackles which are the making of his own political party, namely the Congress Party.
If the Congress Party and its President subscribe to the same national goal, which I am sure they do so, then it is high time that they unshackle India's Prime Minister from the political fetters that they have imposed on him.
