  NO STRESS – UPANISHAD VS BRAIN SCIENCE The Human Brain is Maltifarious. Our Brain is hardwired for ” Fight-or-Flight response “. It is not designed at to explore on your present happiness. It is programmed to look in to future happiness, future protection-This is actually for our safety-protection. But the downside is, the same fight-or-flight response is also the cause of anxiety, depression, catastrophizing thinking ,rumination, polarized thinking etc. People with severe depression need to be seen by a psychiatrist and the most common initial treatment will be SNRIs ( Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) or SSRIs( Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).The brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) system are inseperable bedfellows. So depressed people are more likely to have tummy problems as well. If you are under SNRIs or SSDRIs don’t continue it for more than 1 or 2 year, because it is not good for your health 4 or 5 years down the road. Ask your doctor to withdraw medi...

  CHOOSE TO BE GREAT INSTEAD OF BIG ( GRASS VS BIG TREE)- If you are weak, be unique and different in your weakness A weak person can never, never ever, never ever never lay a finger on with a strong person. Equals and Equals only congregate. Have you ever seen a rich girl married to a boy from abject poverty family. No. ( even if there is, it will be only finger numbered). So if any one is weaker or smaller firm, he/she could not lay a hand on with stronger or big giant So if you are a small manufacturer /seller how are you going to outlive with giant multinational corporations ? Depressed? There is an analogy in Upanishad: If your life is like a Grass, take “Chaitanya ( ie Vibe) in being Grass. Because grass is also made up of atman ( consciousness) , the same -entire universe is made up of. Do not compare Grass with Big Tree. Both of them cannot flee ( grass and big tree). But there is a uniqueness for Grass and is different from a Big Tree. Do you know what it is ? Big trees ar...

  https://vimeo.com/737344097 When it comes to consistency we should walk the walk. Talk the Talk is easier. Actions speak louder than words. Consistency requires hard work and dedication. Likingness towards a thing or to a person comes naturally and easily and that’s part of what’s so great about it. Think of it as honey moon phase, once the honey moon phase is over consistency is the key. Putting words on paper is hardwork, no immediate fun. But it will help you in the long run. Your thinking becomes more clear, something you can use it in your personal brand,sales marketing ,public speaking etc. Chatting in social media is enjoying. This can make you happy right now, but it is not making you necessarily better down the road. Think of a Cake. Excessive use of social media is like “FROSTING” and your hard work (consistency) is the “BREAD”. The frosting can be too sweet or melt so it is okay, if it is not there.It just gives the cake a nice look. 2 coffee each day with your CEO or ...

 Swami Vivivekanand-Great Saint-Maker of Modern India-Orator Par Excellence It is a common knowledge that Swami Vivekananda opening speech at the parliament of World religions, Chicago has been a landmark oral performance in human history. But what makes the revered Swami such an effective speaker? The audience was captivated by Swami's talks to such an extent that at parlimanet of World Religions, Swami was always asked to speak at the end. If at any part of time ,many people started leaving the event, a simple announcement that Swamiji will be speaking later on was enough to make them sit back down. People waited for hours patiently with out a single word of complaint just to listen to him speak for 15 minutes. This was the extent to which Swamiji captured his audience.  Jamshedji Tata was reportedly influnced by Swami Vivekananda to establish the Indian Institute of Science-one of India's well know Research university-during their conversation as fellow travellers on a sh...

 BRING SERVICE TO YOUR DHARMA If you do your work with your 101% of the heart's involvement then it becomes a Devotion. Devotion is not a quality that should be reserved only for places of worship and altars of God.  Any work can become a prayer if performed with the secredness of devotion. The natural by products of devotion are concentration ,happiness and love ( so kama ( pleasure)is obtained as by products- you need not seek it directly, opportunities for kama ( pleasure) will come to you) We dont stop here.  Just as you bring your dharma to work, bring service to your dharma. Stop asking " How are you " " Hi Guys"  These are water cooler chats. It is neither going to help you nor the recipient. You might ask. Have you served today? How can I use my talents to serve others and make a difference. ? What do I know or have that is of any use? You don't have to change occupation. You don't have to change your schedule. If you look around, you will see ...

Many of us dont take the time to consider what actually motivates people.  We use carrot-and-stick approach. Good. But research shows that if you maginfy encouragement, it makes people more universally successful and more productive.Yet managers are still notoriously bad at delivering praise. Praise is given when one achieves "good result". Encouragement can be given anytime even when things go poorly. One of the basic psychological tenets of human behavior is that we persist in behaviors for which we are praised: those behaviors that are not positively recognized are likely to fall by the wayside. We seldom if ever appreciate or encourage others.When you look at another person,rather than seeing her faults, you need to be able to see her strengths and possibilities, what she is capable of. Insincere engagement with out the strength of your genuine faith in the other person only belittles her efforts.  The essence of encouragement is showing your belief in the talents,skill...

  Gratitude and Kindness are sine qua non for any people who chant prayers or who don’t believe in God. Whether you are an atheist or a theist, you should have Gratitude and Kindness. It is very painful to say that though we are polytheistic or monotheistic - we donot urge to develop these qualities. Only these two qualities going to be useful for the humanity. It is much more powerful than praying lips. Swami Vivekananda teaches service of the poor is akin to worshipping God. To reach Narayana you must serve the Daridra Narayanas- the starving millions of poorest. If you don’t see God in man, if you don;’t believe in yourself,then too you are an atheist. Gratitude is a positive feeling. According to UCLA neuroscientist Alex Korb, we cannot focus on positive and negative feelings at the same time. When we develop gratitude, our brain gets a positive feelings and brain release dopamine, which makes us want to feel that way again and again, and we begin to make gratitude a ha...

If you dont follow dharma,it is like a fish with out water, you can give the fish all the riches in the world, but it will die unless it is returned to the water. What ever qualities you have,if you have no dharma, it will destroy you. If you are reading this article thinking your boss need to understand dharma-then she will give me the promotion, you have missed the point. We never live in a idyllic world. We are not in a place where others recognize our dharma .But you demonstrate and defend your dharma, then manusmriti says it will become feedback loop-dharma will start protecting you . When you safeguard your dharma, you constantly strive to be in a place where you strive. When you thrive ,people notice, and you reap rewards that help you stay in your dharma.Manusmriti confirm, dharma is so powerful, that it will even protect your joy and sense of purpose and helps you grow. When you are undergoing RAHU dasa, you should never do any thing against your dharma. Rahu deva is...

  You are that winning sperm -born to lead   Looking up to others is a positive trait. In marketing we look at competition. Good. But competitiors will not pay you. You customer will pay you. Looking at others becomes a weakness when it leads you in to submission. Look up with out submitting yourself. You can become better than your competitor. You can become better than your boss. You were not born to follow. Remember you are that ONE winning sperm which provided its own way that it is one up on the remaining millions of its kind. Only one sperm has energy, powerful enough to reach the egg.Other sperms die on their journey to reach the egg. You are that ONE winning sperm   So very birth of human being necessitates and presupposes the process of winning. You are born to lead.   Live up to your inheritance.

  QUALITY MANAGEMENT ISO , SA 8000 etc very popular quality certifications. Now almost every organisation takes this certificate. It is available outside. I am not saying it is bad. We are discussing about Quality of the Self. That means the quality of You and Me. If you speak to some CEOs/Owners of companies, they speak in a tone so arrogant and ignorant that it would have made Adolf Hitler turn in his grave. This is because the CEO/Owner is missing the element “Quality” Quality as per ancient wisdom comes under Dharma (under section Verna) which I will discuss in next article. Quality is not your Narcissism Quality is your excellence in areas that others might not even notice A flower is a flower with or with out fragrance yet the presence of fragrance makes all difference. Quality is that invisible detail the presence of which makes all the difference. The Quality of what we give depends on Quality of what we have. The Quality of what we have depends on...

  With out happiness there is no life. With out dissatisfaction there is no growth. When you are dissatisfied with others, it makes you unhappy. When you are dissatisfied with yourself ,it helps you to grow. When you bench mark others with your expectations it leaves you dissatisfied with them and this affects your happiness. When you bench mark yourself with your expectations , the dissatisfaction created propels your growth and development. When you demand a 10 out of 10 from yourself as excellence it shows you where you stand and where you need to go. When you demand a 10 out of 10 from the world it affects the quality of relationship to the world. So in all matters ,rate the world as 5 and rate yourself as 10 No that world is any less capable or that you are superman, but because-with out happiness there is no life. So rate the world 5. With out dissatisfaction there is no growth. So rate yourself 10. Thus you will be happily dissatisfied.

Brahmacharya is not only abstinence from sex.  Deep attachment towards food.Your thoughts, your speech, your greed, emotion... all sensual pleasures to be kept in check. Senusal pleasure - sex enegry for instance- is so powerful , it contains life in it, so it should not be dissipated thoughtlessly. Would a woman flush a bucket of gold and diamonds dam her toilet? Would a man take his currency notes and burn them in a fire place? No man or woman of average intelligence would knowingly throw their wealthaway. But if they are unaware of the assets that they have,they might still continue to dispose them unknowingly. In Medical Perspective Brahmacharya is to keep BSR ( Body sexual rate) 0 (No sexual thought) BSR has two cycle. Emotinal cycle and Physical cycle. CYCLE A -Emotional Cycle BSR 0= No sexual thought BSR 1= Birth of sexual thought BSR 2 = First sexual sensation in the body BSR 3= First sexual sensation in the genital BSR 4= A glush of blood in the genitals. BSR 5= A state of...

QUALITY OF YOUR COMMUNICATION IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY   Your communication skills are your responsibility. Your words are your responsibility.  The only thing that you can make sweet that comes from your body is words.-your communication skills-your vocabulary.   What ever other things that comes out from your body are neither sweet nor you can make them sweet .Your sweat smells bad. Your saliva smells bad. other body fluids smells bad. your excretory all, everything.  The one and the only thing that you can make sweet are your words... that comes at the tip of your tongue- it is most refined,... The sweetness of the words remains even if our body disappears.  The world loves swami vivekananda speech... have you seen him or have you seen his live you tube video? No- just his communication-his words-his wisdom-his thoughts of practical vedanta influencing us. Would any one ask his bio data to check his qualifications or credentials?? .  To ...

  EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT : Stop blamming some one, take the responsibilty to respond to life with " acceptance" When someone is doing something in a way you donot want it to be done and you are not able to accept it, you become angry.  When some one is doing some thing a way you dont want it to be done but you are able to accept it, you remain tolerant. When someone has done something that has emotionally hurt you and  you  not able to accept it, it develops hatred in you.  When some has done something that has emotionally hurt you and you are able to accept it, it helps you forgive them.

When someone is present in your t...

  For the stress, here is the rub. No body can make you stress/unhappy unless you agree to it.No matter what others do to you. How you react to an experience determines whether you will be stressed or happy. It is your mind that wrecks havoc on your peace, cause frustruation and destroys happiness-not the external world. It is a mistake to believe that he or she or this or that circumstances or outside world make you stress. You are the architect of your own happiness. You are the architect of your own unhappiness. One fact we know about ourself is one day we die. The death of body is inevitable. But we celebrate our birthday, birthdays of our near and dear ones, family etc. We dont care about the future anxiety-the death. We celebrate as we have no death. We are not stressed .We conduct huge party/celebrations for our birthdays. Same way we should handle stress as if there is no stress. How to handle stress? : If you ask any one across the world,the most likely answe...

 The psychologists say that the thought moves from our subconscious mind to our conscious mind. And from conscious mind the thoughts are manifested in the form of speech, action etc. The main culprit in this is neither subconscious nor conscious mind is with in our control. Thought in subsconscious mind-as the name suggest being in subconsious level, you are not aware of it. It is your heriditary or Gene. Manifestation of thoughts from conscious mind is also not with in your control. Because thoughts are already expressed. Upanishad says that there is a tiny gap between Subsconsious mind and Conscious mind. This is called Ragadvesa. The gap is very tiny but big impact. In Ragadvesa two components will pull you in opposite direction. 1) Sreya = You know what is good for you! 2) Preya = You know what is pleasant for you! Both you know. Both are not same. A little difference,but make all difference in life You know watching Mega Serial daily 630 to 11 pm night, never boost your sel...
