Tips For A Successful Joint Family System
If we were to revive and revamp the joint family system. We need to think how we can learn from the mistakes the we made in old joint family system and create a new system with the insight gained from the experiences of nuclear and joint family .
Here ar some hints that can be implemented differently from the old system to make the ‘joint family system’ a success.
Mutual Love And Respect.
One of the major reason why the present day generation is desperate to break out of the joint family is the attitude of the older generation to impose their views . In some families the father’s word would be the final word and nobody could dare say or do anything against it. Such an autocratic style of leading a family leads to repression and suppression giving rise to feeling of discontentment and unhappiness.
If the joint family system is laid on the founding stone of mutual and genuine love and respect for each and every member (including children) then the system is sure to be a success. It helps to keep in mind that love, respect and affection are the courtesies that can be only expected and not demanded. We can expect these precious actions by giving them first . For example, you cannot expect. Your son or your daughter to have respect for your advice and suggestions. If you cannot demonstrate love and respect towards them through your actions and words and by being sensitive to their Individual aspirations and ways of thinking.
Open and Honest Communications; Family members need to communicate openly and honestly with one another. The elders in the family must encourage and create and environment conducive to open communication. In the absence of such an environment, family members can feel repressed and suppressed that can lead to discontentment, Non judgmental listening and demonstrating mutual trust are necessary to help family members open up to one another
One of the reasons that disintegrated the old joint family system was the constant interference and meddling by elders in the matters of youngsters. Another important aspect of communication is knowing when NOT to communicate. In other words , it is important to give one another space and respect the boundaries of each other . Living under one roof dos not have to be transgressing the personal space of the members. Personal space is more mental than physical. If a joint family system has to succeed, recognizing and respecting this space is very important.

Realistic Expectations Of Members of Members; It is important that members in a joint family system feel accepted fro who they are and as they are. The crucial part of acceptance of one another is acceptance of our own weakens and limitations and that of others. By doing this , expectations of members for one another become more realistic. Realistic expectations help us to be more tolerant of weaknesses of one another . Having unrealistic expectations of others is often the root cause of disappointments and discontentment
Acknowledgment of And Being Grateful For what it is. When more then one family live together, if brings together members of different strengths. One of the great advantages of this is that different strengths of different members can be potentially enriching to the family and in turn provide a sense of fulfilment to the members. For a joint family system to be a place where the members feel valued and nurtured, acknowledgment of the strengths and different positive aspects that each member brings to the family being grateful for the same is useful and even necessary.
A joint family system also can become a training ground for the future generation to learn and develop attributes and skills of living in harmony with fellow citizens in a society . if our current family model is reflective of a lifestyle that is based on selfish existence and intolerance to others views when how can we expect the society to be different A joint family system can help build a society that is more tolerant of personal differences in views and thoughts and whee people appreciate and carry forward the values of mutual respect, love and cooperation.

Quotes from the true charm and power of Vedanta.
This is the watchword of all religions and religious teachers. Single-hearted love for God is also the aim and object of renunciation. No violence or hardheartedness is necessary in renunciation. It is a natural growth of the heart . when we love God with our whole heart and soul, there is no room for anything else and renunciation become easy. But renouncing does not mean running away from family, friends and relations, or being cruel to them. One can cultivate spirit of renunciation in one’s home by practising non-attachment and unsafeness. The question may be asked, What do we gain by it? The highest reward for there is no greater good than to love God above all external things and to train knowledge of the Supreme.
But, if He exists?
I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.

By making note of it, he rouses himself to an improved way of living. By a constant striving towards perfection he enriches his career. His relationship with the other beings become sound.
Quotes from the true charm and power of Vedanta.
But every time you attempt to subdue them you will find yourself stronger, and gradually through constant practice you will conquer them fully. Real Yoga practice is when we try to collect our thoughts from all sources, make them one and connect them with our Inner Self. Yoga means this union with the Supreme Self which destroys all ignorance. We cannot feel this union, or have the vision of the Self, until our mind is wholly subdued and quiet, like the calm surface of a lake. As long as there are ripples in the form of innumerable desires, we cannot see the bottom where the Atman or True Self dwells. So our duty is to practise with patience and perseverance until we have succeeded in making our mind one pointed and have subdued all mixed and wandering thoughts.

Monday, 9-June- 2012
Are you a leader?
We can certainly do much to develop within ourselves the qualities of leadership. These usually reflect an attitude which inspires confidence, not only in our skill and efficiency, but also in our ability to assess a situation and organise the methods of dealing with it.
Try this test to see how you stand . Answer “Yes” or “No” to the questions before turning to the key at the end.
Have you plenty of physical and nervous energy and does not tire easily?
When you are tired, can you stay cheerful and keep going on an important job?
Do you make effort to improve yourself and keep abreast of developments, especially in your business or profession?
Are you enthusiastic about your work?
Do you find it easy to promote enthusiasms in others?
Is it easy for you to get people to work willingly with you?
Do they naturally turn to you for guidance and encouragement?
Do you welcome responsibility?
Are you able to express yourself clearly, simply in speech and writing?
Would you say that you ace not easily discouraged?
Have you enough self-confidence, to carry on in the face of criticism, disapproval and opposition?
Do you possess enough courage to stand up to unreasonable people?
Do yo possess enough tactfulness to get along with most people?
Are you fast to sum up a situation and make a plan to meet it?
Is your judgement usually sound?
Can you always see the humours side of an event or situation?
Can you make a mistake without getting bad-tempered about it?
Are you quick to share the praise with others?
Are you ready to share blame?
Are you always just and reasonable in what you expect from others?
Count five marks for every “yes” , A score of 70 and over shows that you have the qualities of a good leader; 60-70 means that you have the right attitude although you need to develop it further; 50-60 is fair- a lot of self-discipline and hard work is required before you make the grade. Under is not satisfactory.
Good and Bad thoughts
Good and bad thoughts
Man’s thoughts have very great power. Thoughts make a man. If man’s thoughts are full of love, modesty and forgiveness, his mind enjoys quietness. If on the other hand his thoughts are ruled by contempt, vanity and a tendency to see others faults, he remains uneasy and worried. This uneasiness results in his unhappiness and even leads to bodily ailments.
If we impart good feelings to others these good feelings return to us multiplied in a very great degree like a few seeds yielding a large number of fruits. On the other hand if we have bad feelings for others we pass on to others all bad things. Even if these bad thoughts are not in them, these get planted in them, these get further intensified and become easily seen. these in turn come back to us and get fixed deeply in us.
By having good feelings for others we help others and also help ourselves . like wise , by having bad feelings for others, we harm others and also harm ourselves . we should develop the practice of seeing good in every living being .Thus our behaviour towards others will become free from ill-will.
We should return haughtiness with humility, wickedness with kindness, injury with benefit and vanity with veneration. The most acceptable worship in this world which a man can pay to his creator is to perform his duty faithfully towards his fellow beings without partiality. Courtesy wisdom
Quotes from the true charm and power of Vedanta.
The only true help that you can render to mankind is when by our very character you teach others. Then you do good by your every word, your every movement. When , for instance, you remain steady under all conditions of good and evil, those around you learn the value for steadiness and begin to try to practise it themselves. Thus by the example to your character your whole life becomes a lesson to others. In the Sacred Writings of Vedanta we rad of a youthful illumined spiritual teacher and an aged grey-haired disciple seated under a banyan-tree. The disciple’s mind was full of doubts and he questioned , but the teacher kept silent and the disciple’s doubts were gradually dispelled . such is the force of character. It speaks louder than language. Its power is wonderfully, effective –move than any thing in this universe.
But, if He exists?

Hard Work And Achievement

Hard Work And Achievement
If you put your heart I work becomes monotonous there is something wrong with the worker but not with the work. Even a difficult work becomes less difficult, if it is tacked in the right spirit,
Some persons attend to work surrounded by a mass of papers . they work in a crowded environment and find it very difficult to concentrate on one job at a time. Others , who are more methodical keep the tables neat and devoted their attention to the job on hand. A methodical worker always leaves a favourable impression on the boss.
Ask yourself few questions . Compared to the work you have done a year ago, has your present work brought to yo a rewarded or earned a promotion? Or just reminded static making no progress and not found worthy to be singled out for promotion. Have you learned new methods and systems to improve the quality of your work? Or have you reminded content to do what you always have been doing?
To influence senior executives it is important to improve the quality and output of your work . that may necessitate not to be rigid by looking at the clock or calendar for leaving the office and for getting the pay packet . Working for a little more time that the routine enables you to keep things orderly and up to keep thins orderly and up to date. Whatever may be the nature of your work, try for perfection and to increase the quantum of work. It does require earnest effort and single-minded concentration to be free from all external thoughts and sounds but only think solely about eh work on hand.
To avoid boredom, change your wok as much as possible. Devise new and more interesting methods of doing your work.
For the work well done. There may not be any appreciation or an expression of thanks but there will be inner satisfaction for you that you have done well.
Researchers , inventors, achievers in sports and games, great writers, great scientist are all the products of hard and sincere work for the betterment of the society at large.
If you read the biographies of distinguished men and women in any walks of life, you will find that their ultimate success has been the result of quality work. Their achievements are not certainly not by aspirations alone.
Napoleon, Julius Caesar and others were all well known imaginative hard workers. As rightly said, a person gets on through his own efforts or gets out by his own errors.
For a change , try doing something really useful and progressive Take on additional responsibilities Accept a challenge. Act on you own initiative. Do not wait to be asked to do things in a better way. Those who take additional responsibility make right decisions and work hard. Sooner or later, they can expect better prospects of getting a promotion or receiving better benefits. It is just the result of one’s mature experience and ability.
Carve your own career, work smarter and wait for greater opportunities. Never mind waiting for something higher and greater to come along but accept what comes on your way and trun it to your advantage.
If you have faith in yourself and the Supreme Power, it would no the long to break the chains and move forward for higher and bigger responsibilities with greater benefits. Apart from this, there would also be a pride and satisfaction of a job well done.
The extra effort, the extra care and the unwavering reliability that characterizes your work will certainly earn for you rich rewards for long.
Quotes from the true charm and power of Vedanta.
Then if the subject of thought is miserable, we must be merciful towards it. When we see sanybdoy suffer, we must try to remove his misery with a feelings of love and sympathy. This we must do with unselfishness and non-attachment toward the fruits of our actions. Whether the one whom we help is grateful or otherwise matters not. Whenever we have the opportunity of helping any one, we must bear in mind that it is for our good, for our own salvation. It is a privilege to serve God in the form of the miserable and thus build our characters and manifest Divinity.
