Hello, nice to read about your life jerney. Hindi is not a difficult 
language, and by mingling with the local people, you will learn working 
Hindi. However, you have not made it clear whether you and your wife are

Dear Access India list members,

On a few occasions on this list, people have been conjecturing whether I 
am male or female, because the name Yamuna appears in my Vaishnava diksha 
name.

I thought I might as well take the time to clarify. 

At my birth, my parents named me Yoganathan. My family surname is Khandoo, 
(originally in India it would have been Kandu as per the name as found in 
the Srimad Bhagavatam,), but when my paternal Great-grandfather arrived 
from South India in the 1800s, the british slave-owners did little in 
spelling our names as they should be. After all we were captured slaves so 
why should they care?


At this point I could go into the sad and painful history of how our 
ancestors eventually liberated themselves from slavery and established a 
thriving Indian community in South Africa, but I will resist the 
temptation.


Over time and as generations passed, they were indoctrinated into speaking 
the English language of the colonizers. Still, our family kept away from 
cross-race inter marriages despite 4 generations in South Africa. Little 
remnants remained of the Tamil language of our ancestry, but we kept 
whatever we could by way of prayers and rituals coming down from previous 
generations.


No wonder then when I was born, a South Indian priest was consulted by my 
parents and he offered the name Yoganathan. So that's my birth name in my 
official documents: passport, South African ID card Etc.


When I grew up, my Grandfather always told me that I reminded him of his 
own father. You see, I had developed a yearning to understand the purpose 
of life, God, our purpose on earth and such existential concerns. I always 
found myself disturbed to see the suffering of others, both man and 
animal.
So in 1997 when I first came across a Hare Krishna preacher of Vedic 
wisdom, I took to the study like a hungry man takes to water in a dry 
desert. My Grandfather noticed the transformation in my life, and as he 
watched me perform aratis and bhoga offerings to the deity, chanting of 
Japa Etc, he always remarked how I reminded him of his father who was a 
Brahmana captured into slavery but who kept performing his worship and 
sadhana in South Africa.


So, when I eventually was ready for it, in 2005 my spiritual master whose 
name is Partha Sarathi Dasa Goswami, gave me Diksha initiation into the 
Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. By this time we had learnt how 
the body we live in is really insignificant because we are spirit souls 
temporarily inhabiting different bodies, and although my spiritual master 
was an English man born in England, I was impressed so much by his own 
dedication to the Vaishnava life despite him being a typical English man 
born from the land of our cruel colonizers, still I accepted him as my 
Guru because he was a disciple of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement 
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. He had transcended his white 
English male body and was now a pure Vaishnava dedicated to serving and 
loving the supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.


So on that faithful day of 23 November 2005, I received Diksha initiation. 
My Guru gave me the spiritual name Yamuna Jivana Dasa.


Yamuna refers to the holy river Yamuna in Vrindavana Dhama. The word 
Jivana literally means the life of. So that person who is the life of the 
Yamuna is Sri Krishna. So this name Yamuna Jivana refers to Sri Krishna 
who is the life of the Yamuna river. Therefore this is a masculine name 
referring to Lord Krishna himself. At the end of a Vaishnava name, we 
always add the word Dasa. Dasa means servant. So the full Sanskrit to 
English translation of my name is that I am a servant of that person who 
is the life of, or very dear to the Yamuna, namely Lord Krishna.


Interestingly in 2008, I met my wife who has a very similar history to 
share. She was born of Indian parents in South America, Guyana, but whose 
ancestory are North-Indian, particularly of Bengali origin.


She too came from a family who very closely kept their Indian culture and 
traditions, but remained in search of Vedic truths. When she took 
initiation also into the Hare Krishna society there in Guyana, she 
received the name Kalindi Dasi. This name is interesting because even 
before we met on-line across the seas, her name was linked to mine. The 
name Kalindi refers to the Yamuna river, but specifically to the 
personality which embodies that river. In Vedic understanding, even the 
holy rivers are embodied by living personality. Like me, she too

Re: [AI] accessibility of income tax website

2023-03-07 Thread Yamuna Jivana dasa (Yogan)

Hi,
Although I've never used this Tax website interface before, you are 
describing something I have definitely seen before, where with PC ccursor on 
a web page if you hit an otherwise inaccessible button, you get taken 
totally out of the web page and land in either another opened application or 
on the desktop. You said for you it takes to the home page, not sure if you 
mean the home page of the website portal or the home page of your browser, 
but still worth trying the below and say what happens.


I'm offering you here some advice based on my own experience with buttons 
accessed with virtual PC cursor turned off doing strange things, which might 
very well help you.
Since it does display to PC Cursor (I'm assuming you're using Jaws), but if 
NVDA let me know and I'll modify the instructions.


Try the following:
1. Press Alt Space bar then X to maximize the browser window;
2. With Virtual PC Cursor turned off (Insert Z), tab along till you find 
that button using PC cursor (not virtual PC cursor);
3. Press Insert Numpad Minus to route Jaws cursor to PC cursor (in Laptop 
keyboard layout that would be Capslock and Left bracket);

4. Now initiate a left-click either with Jaws or with left mouse button.

This sometimes works better than pressing Enter on the continue button with 
PC cursor active.
However it might also be an idea to try to maximize the screen first (Step 1 
above), then the good old Enter button or spacebar might also work instead 
of the above steps 2 onwards.


Please do let us know if this helps your particular case.
Otherwise if you need help, call me on Whatsapp:
+27 82 291 6081.

Kind regards,
Yamuna Jivana dasa

On a few occasions on this list, people have been conjecturing whether I am

I thought I might as well take the time to clarify. 

At my birth, my parents named me Yoganathan. My family surname is Khandoo, 
(originally in India it would have been Kandu as per the name as found in the

Over time and as generations passed, they were indoctrinated into speaking the

inter marriages despite 4 generations in South Africa. Little remnants remained 
of the Tamil language of our ancestry, but we kept whatever we could by way of 
prayers and rituals coming down from previous generations.

No wonder then when I was born, a South Indian priest was consulted by my 
parents and he offered the name Yoganathan. So that's my birth name in my 
official documents: passport, South African ID card Etc.

When I grew up, my Grandfather always told me that I reminded him of his own 
father. You see, I had developed a yearning to understand the purpose of life, 
God, our purpose on earth and such existential concerns. I always found myself 
disturbed to see the suffering of others, both man and animal.
So in 1997 when I first came across a Hare Krishna preacher of Vedic wisdom, I 
took to the study like a hungry man takes to water in a dry desert. My 
Grandfather noticed the transformation in my life, and as he watched me perform 
aratis and bhoga offerings to the deity, chanting of Japa Etc, he always 
remarked how I reminded him of his father who was a Brahmana captured into 
slavery but who kept performing his worship and sadhana in South Africa.

So, when I eventually was ready for it, in 2005 my spiritual master whose name 
is Partha Sarathi Dasa Goswami, gave me Diksha initiation into the Brahma 
Madhva Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. By this time we had learnt how the body we 
live in is really insignificant because we are spirit souls temporarily 
inhabiting different bodies, and although my spiritual master was an English 
man born in England, I was impressed so much by his own dedication to the 
Vaishnava life despite him being a typical English man born from the land of 
our cruel colonizers, still I accepted him as my Guru because he was a disciple 
of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement A.C. 
Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. He had transcended his white English male 
body and was now a pure Vaishnava dedicated to serving and loving the supreme 
personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.

So on that faithful day of 23 November 2005, I received Diksha initiation. 
My Guru gave me the spiritual name Yamuna Jivana Dasa.

Yamuna refers to the holy river Yamuna in Vrindavana Dhama. The word Jivana 
literally means the life of. So that person who is the life of the Yamuna is 
Sri Krishna. So this name Yamuna Jivana refers to Sri Krishna who is the life 
of the Yamuna river. Therefore this is a masculine name referring to Lord 
Krishna himself. At the end of a Vaishnava name, we always add the word Dasa. 
Dasa means servant. So the full Sanskrit to English translation of my name is 
that I am a servant of that person who is the life of, or very dear to the 
Yamuna, namely Lord Krishna.

Re: [AI] Regarding accessibility of kindle devices and content

2023-03-07 Thread Tony Kurian
Hello,
I am a user of Kindle devises for few years now. here is some
information which I hope will be of help for you.
I am not sure about the accessibility of basic kindle devise. Kindle
paper white is accessible. However, you will have to purchase a
separate audio adapter for this. this is because Kindle paper white
does not have a head phone jack or speaker. Ones you plug in the audio
adapter, Voiceview screen reader will start functioning. Note:
functionalities such as note taking, colour marking, annotating etc
are not available when you use Voiceview on kindle paper white.
If you are interested in using Kindle devises, the best solution is
buying Kindle fire HD tablet. I could not find this devise on Amazon
India.you can get this devise from amazon.com and it cost less than
100$. During black Friday, you get this for 45$ or so. do connect with
me offline if you are exercising this option as there are a couple of
minor caveats to follow.
Finally, rather than converting kindle books in to other formats, the
best way to use kindle devices is by converting all books in to epub
and reading them on kindle. It is super portable and you can take
notes etc if you are on kindle fire tab. You can also sink your notes
to kindle pc.
I hope this has been of help. Feel free to write to me if you have any
other clarifications.
Cheers,
Tony

[AI] My gender clarification

2023-03-07 Thread Yamuna Jivana dasa (Yogan)

Dear Access India list members,

On a few occasions on this list, people have been conjecturing whether I am 
male or female, because the name Yamuna appears in my Vaishnava diksha name.

I thought I might as well take the time to clarify. 

At my birth, my parents named me Yoganathan. My family surname is Khandoo, 
(originally in India it would have been Kandu as per the name as found in 
the Srimad Bhagavatam,), but when my paternal Great-grandfather arrived from 
South India in the 1800s, the british slave-owners did little in spelling 
our names as they should be. After all we were captured slaves so why should 
they care?


At this point I could go into the sad and painful history of how our 
ancestors eventually liberated themselves from slavery and established a 
thriving Indian community in South Africa, but I will resist the temptation.


Over time and as generations passed, they were indoctrinated into speaking 
the English language of the colonizers. Still, our family kept away from 
cross-race inter marriages despite 4 generations in South Africa. Little 
remnants remained of the Tamil language of our ancestry, but we kept 
whatever we could by way of prayers and rituals coming down from previous 
generations.


No wonder then when I was born, a South Indian priest was consulted by my 
parents and he offered the name Yoganathan. So that's my birth name in my 
official documents: passport, South African ID card Etc.


When I grew up, my Grandfather always told me that I reminded him of his own 
father. You see, I had developed a yearning to understand the purpose of 
life, God, our purpose on earth and such existential concerns. I always 
found myself disturbed to see the suffering of others, both man and animal.
So in 1997 when I first came across a Hare Krishna preacher of Vedic wisdom, 
I took to the study like a hungry man takes to water in a dry desert. My 
Grandfather noticed the transformation in my life, and as he watched me 
perform aratis and bhoga offerings to the deity, chanting of Japa Etc, he 
always remarked how I reminded him of his father who was a Brahmana captured 
into slavery but who kept performing his worship and sadhana in South 
Africa.


So, when I eventually was ready for it, in 2005 my spiritual master whose 
name is Partha Sarathi Dasa Goswami, gave me Diksha initiation into the 
Brahma Madhva Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. By this time we had learnt how 
the body we live in is really insignificant because we are spirit souls 
temporarily inhabiting different bodies, and although my spiritual master 
was an English man born in England, I was impressed so much by his own 
dedication to the Vaishnava life despite him being a typical English man 
born from the land of our cruel colonizers, still I accepted him as my Guru 
because he was a disciple of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement A.C. 
Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. He had transcended his white English 
male body and was now a pure Vaishnava dedicated to serving and loving the 
supreme personality of Godhead Sri Krishna.


So on that faithful day of 23 November 2005, I received Diksha initiation. 
My Guru gave me the spiritual name Yamuna Jivana Dasa.


Yamuna refers to the holy river Yamuna in Vrindavana Dhama. The word Jivana 
literally means the life of. So that person who is the life of the Yamuna is 
Sri Krishna. So this name Yamuna Jivana refers to Sri Krishna who is the 
life of the Yamuna river. Therefore this is a masculine name referring to 
Lord Krishna himself. At the end of a Vaishnava name, we always add the word 
Dasa. Dasa means servant. So the full Sanskrit to English translation of my 
name is that I am a servant of that person who is the life of, or very dear 
to the Yamuna, namely Lord Krishna.


Interestingly in 2008, I met my wife who has a very similar history to 
share. She was born of Indian parents in South America, Guyana, but whose 
ancestory are North-Indian, particularly of Bengali origin.


She too came from a family who very closely kept their Indian culture and 
traditions, but remained in search of Vedic truths. When she took initiation 
also into the Hare Krishna society there in Guyana, she received the name 
Kalindi Dasi. This name is interesting because even before we met on-line 
across the seas, her name was linked to mine. The name Kalindi refers to the 
Yamuna river, but specifically to the personality which embodies that river. 
In Vedic understanding, even the holy rivers are embodied by living 
personality. Like me, she too was attracted to Sri Vrindavana Dhama where 
this Yamuna river resides and personifies as Kalindi. She made me promise 
that if we got married, some day I would bring her to Vrindavana to live.


We built up some finances by me working in various sectors: Internet 
Technical Support, banking Back-office support, and finally as an 
accessibility traner for the blind, and on that faithful day of 11 November 
2022, we finally arrived in Sri

[AI] Regarding inaccessibility of Ola and Rapido on IOS

2023-03-07 Thread Avichal Bhatnagar
Hello list members,
I recently installed Ola on my Iphone and found it to be highly inaccessible.
For instance, when searching for a destination, voiceover doesn't
announce its name, which makes it impossible to identify.
Also, I had raised several issues with regard to accessibility of
Rapido on IOS, so may I request the mission accessibility team to
provide any update on the same?
Ever since moto rides have been banned in Delhi, it has made us more
dependent on Cab and auto-rickshaw rides, therefore it is extremely
important to have all three apps — Ola, Uber and Rapido fully
accessible.
Thanks,
Avichal

Re: [AI] Regarding accessibility of kindle devices and content

2023-03-07 Thread pavan kallem
hi Prof  Avichal,
Thank you for your email and for your interest in Kindle devices sold
by Amazon. As far as accessibility is concerned, Amazon has made
efforts to ensure that its devices are fully accessible to all users.
Kindle devices offer audio support for most functions, which makes
them suitable for use by people with visual impairments.
Regarding your query about the latest version of Kindle for PC, it is
fully accessible with JAWS, which makes it easier for visually
impaired users to navigate and interact with the software.
Regarding your query on converting Kindle books to other formats such
as pdf, there are several options available. You can use a software
program like Calibre to convert your Kindle books into various formats
including PDF, EPUB, and MOBI.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please let me know if you
have any further queries or concerns.
Best regards,

[AI] Regarding accessibility of kindle devices and content

2023-03-07 Thread Avichal Bhatnagar
Hello list members,
As the subject line indicates, I want to know that are the kindle
devices being sold by Amazon completely accessible for us?
I mean, do they provide complete audio support for all functions, like
how we get in daisy players?
Also, is the latest version of Kindle for PC fully accessible with JAWS?
Lastly, if anyone knows a way to convert Kindle books into any other
format such as pdf, please do write to me on my personal chat.
Thanks,
Avichal

Re: [AI] YOUTUBE link of General awareness session on incometax

2023-03-07 Thread Yamuna Jivana dasa (Yogan)

Dear Brother Mukesh,

Thanks for this link. I have started listening to the content. There is a 
lot of valuable information you provide and I definitely want to study it 
more closely.


One small problem is the quality of the audio is very poor, making some of 
the content hard to hear and affects assimilation of the valuable info you 
are providing.

. If you would not mind some suggestions:

Your recording environment has a lot of room ambiance or room echo 
background sound resulting from your speaking. In itself this will not be 
much of a problem, but since Zoom applies a technology called noise 
cancellation to the received audio, it tends to cancel out some of your 
actual speech audio along with the background room sound of your speech. 
This creates a muffled output result which is difficult to hear without 
great effort.
I am also gradually aligning my mind with the Indian accent speaking 
English, so that hearing is difficult when audio quality is also poor.


If this session was held in Zoom, there are ways to ensure that Zoom will 
give you far better audio quality over the network. There are a few things 
you can do to minimize this problem with the audio quality:
1. Speak much closer to the microphone so that your voice is directly 
reaching the microphone. This causes the background room ambiance to be 
masked and so less problematic.
2. I am attaching here to this E-mail an article I wrote to apply a few 
steps in Zoom for improving audio quality.


The article was originally intended for musicians performing live over a 
Zoom conference, but will equally improve spoken voice as well. Of course if 
desired you may filter out everything else I mention related to the 
spiritually focused audience for which the article was produced.


To end with your conference content: I will later try to take some notes for 
myself and if I am successful doing that I can share in text form for others 
to benefit further.

Thank you again for an excellent effort and for the valuable content.
If you or anyone here wish to talk further on this point of audio quality 
over Zoom please call me on Whatsapp number: +27 82 2916081. If you do not 
reach me, please leave a voice note and I will respond at my soonest 
convenience.


With warm  regards,

Yamuna Jivana Dasa
