Give with Love and Compassion
Charity need not only be monetary. It can be a giving of our time, talent, knowledge, love or compassion. It is said that the great Ramanujacharya’s Gurur gave him the mantra ‘Sreemate narayanaya Namah” saying “ If you chant this with sincerity and faith you will go to heaven. I do not give this mantra to everyone because they are not qualified. “Sir Ramanujaacharya asked. “What will happen if I give it to them?’ The Guru said. “You will go to hell”. As the story goes. Ramanujacharya went straight to the village, called lots of people together and asked them to chant the mantra. When the Guru heard of this , he took him to task. Ramanujachaya replied. “I know I will go to hell, but all those who are chanting will go to heaven. So what does it matter?” That is genuine giving , out of love and compassion.

Quote from The Essence of the Gita
In the second chapter of the Gita , Sri Krishna not only taught Self-knowledge, he also tired to persuade Arjuna in an ordinary way. Sri Krishna told him, “You will lose your reputation. People will call you a coward and insult you. It is better to die rather than to face all this. “Failing to realize the value of this , people often become critical and say, ‘What rubbish has Sri Krishna out of fear of public criticism?” No, it does not mean that. If we try to understand properly, we shall see that even these words of Krishna have deep import.
We see that those who are adored by people have some special quality in them. If they have no quality worth the name, the name, the adoration of the masses doesn’t last long. Good work always elicits praise from people in general, though they may not understand clearly the worker’s noble attitude behind it. Even illiterate ignorant people can judge for themselves the good and bad qualities of a person. This is because God dwells in all beings , and it is due to His power that every person has the natural capacity to distinguish between good and evil.
Knowledge is a treasure , but practice is the key to it.


I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 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 from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Develop Tact To Handle People

Monday 28 February-2011
Develop Tact To Handle People
The term ‘tact’, is related to one’s skill in understanding judging and tackling people or situations we are concerned with. This is an art by itself. Tact is more needed when we disagree with somebody or reject something. In every sphere of life we come across many moments when we have to differ with our own friends, near and dear. We find ourselves in embarrassing situations. If we fail to convey what we think or that we oppose, in a graceful manner. We provoke the feelings and hurt the delicate line of relationship.
Tactful dealing can strengthen social relationship builds up cordiality between a boss and his associates. It promotes conducive work-culture. A boss can give some endearing personal talk to his associates. For example; Enquiring about the associates; health , family etc. The personal touch’ can work wonders and make the associate happily. Moreover , this tactful dealing breathes intimacy.
Sometime people come with lot of complaints and grievances against us. If we are tactless, the situation leads to headlong confrontation. When we deal with such a situation, we need so sum up the situation and must let the aggrieved one speak out. When we do so, we have an edge over him. We gat a chance to understand the person, once the steam is let off, you try to put out your mind, and try to ease the situation. To do this one must live up the attitude. “ I am always right. Ego’ will only lead to clashes . so the secret behind tact is be frank and if necessary, tender apology. There is yet another way to deal with such a situation. As Dale Carnegie in How to win friends and influence people says, one must start talking about one’s drawbacks with out giving a chance to the other person to express them. Surely, this would make the complainant to take a generous view. The same tact can be applied in offices or an other place of work or situation.
Some people take pride in their criticism about others. They do not realize that they are presenting themselves in a poor light. No one likes to be insulted . so we try to avoid the ‘blunt’ talkers carefully to avoid unpleasant situation. It would be better for them to choose words carefully so that the delicate fabric of human relationship is well preserved.
Tactful dealing is required to have a pleasant atmosphere even on the domestic ‘front’ Neither parents nor children should resort to angry allegations. Many a time both parents and children find themselves to such a situation where the parents end up screaming at the children Instead. if the parents could adopt a patient and soft approach, the situation will have a pleasant ending. Likewise on home front, many a situation calls for tact. So tactful dealing develops understanding . it does not offence. It absorbs offences for the sake of harmonious relationships. In social personal or official life, no one can afford to be tactless.
Fencing The Young Plant
It is extremely difficult to practice spiritual discipline and at the same time lead a householder’s life.
But still thee is a way out. One should pray to God, going now and then into solitude, and make efforts to realize Him.
Whenever you have leisure, go into solitude for a day or two. At that time don’t have any relation with the outside world.
Haven’t you seen the trees on the foot-path along a street? They are fenced around as long as they are very young; otherwise cattle destroy them. But there is no longer any need of fences, when their trunks grow thick and strong. Then they won’t break even if an elephant is tied to them. Just so, there will be no need for you to worry and fear if you make your mind as strong as a thick tree-trunk. First of all try to acquire discrimination.

Quote from The Essence of the Gita
At every step in Sri Krishna’s life we can see that he possessed the highest knowledge. Even during life’s most critical moments, what remarkable steadiness and oceanic calmness he had! In any kind of situation Sir Krishna was completely unflappable, unwavering and unperturbed. We can see him in beautiful Verindaban filled with flowers and fruits. Or in Mathura, surrounded by enemies . Or in Hastinapur, adored by the royal household. Or in the battlefield, saturated with love and hatred. Or in Prnhasa, resounding with past memories.

On Forgetfulness

Monday 5–July- 2010
On Forgetfulness
In all walks of life, whatever the profession or calling may be, we have irritants around (unawares we become one too). But what really bothers us is the irritant that irritates us. We come home from office resentful. And unable to control our irritation now and then, we cast our resentment on our family. Then we feel our family miserable. When we get to bed we cannot sleep as we plan ways to do away with the cause of irritation. We get up in the morning we go about our work sit at our desk and bury our resentment temporarily.
Then there comes a time when we go to bead and hit the pillow again. We are utterly alone with our thoughts and we take inventory or ourselves, our assets and liabilities. Then we ask ourselves what we forgot to do during the day that has gone forever.
All this happens to me and so I feel it might be the case with everybody. When I take stock of the day I suddenly remember many things I forgot during the course of the day-that I forget to smile. I forgot to compliment someone for a deed well done, for a word well spoken, forgot that I can be happy, that I can forget my resentment, violence, negative feelings hat take me away from myself and make me the small person I actually am not. I realize that I even forget that I am born to succeed in life, that I have priceless assets within me that God blessed me with, that I have dignity because I am made in God’s image, forgot to be sincere, the need to understand the needs of others, to be compassionate an self-confident, failed to accept my self for what I am and not try to be someone else.
So after recollecting what you forget today make a decision what you should not forget the following day, relax your mind and have sound sleep. When you get up next morning recollect the decision you made the previous night, adhere to that and have peace of mind Make this your habit and reach your goals sooner.
Quote from True Religion always helps
The beauty and excellence of this definition of Dharma is that all rational human being of good will , no matter of what religion or of no religion, can met on this platform of universal growth, advancement security and fulfillment. This much –needed meeting ground of all believers and non-believes has always been there from at least the time since Bhisma defined Dharma is this most acceptable manner.
True religion defined this way is surely going to –help us always and everywhere in fact if we examine Bhisma’s defiant ion, we will be inclined to agree that growth and advancement in the right direction, protection from injury and the upholding and maintenance of all, are simply not possible without the help of true religion.
Why does One Feel Afraid?
I suppose it is because one is egoistic.
There are three reasons. First an excessive concern about one’s security. Next , what one does not know always gives an uneasy feeling which is translated in the consciousness by fear. And above all. On doesn’t have the habit of a spontaneous trust in the Divine . If you look into things sufficiently deeply , this is the true reason. There are people who do not even know that That exists, but one could tell them in other words, “ You have no faith in your destiny” or “ You know nothing about Grace”-anything whatever , you may put it as you like , but the root of the matter is lack of trust. If one always had the feeling that it is the best that happens in all circumstances, one would not be
Peace in the storm, calm in the effort, joy in the surrender, a luminous Faith, and you will become aware of the Lord’s constant Presence.
Fear is hidden consent. When you are afraid of something, it means that you admit its possibility and thus strengthen its hand. It can be said that it is a subconscient consent.afraid.
A goal in which one is interested
If anyone chooses a goal in which he is really interested he will always get what he wants or something very close to it.
Good literature
The test of good literature is that it will promote repetition. We read over the same book again and again. And always with fresh delight.
Good will
A sign at entrance of a restaurant. “ You will find good will. Fellowship. And cheer in this restaurant if you bring them with you.”

A critic is a man who knows the way but cannot drive the car.
A man without a smiling face must not open a shop

Formula For Sure Success

Monday 29–May- 2010
Formula For Sure Success
M.S.Sundara Rajan
Chairman & Managing Director Indian Bank
Could their be a formula for success? Yes, There is. Before that, we must see what is success or who is a successful person? The answer could very depending upon the type of person to whom you are asking the question.
For a student, it could be a pass from one class to other. For a businessman it could be to make huge profits etc. those success on the material plane are limited, momentary and again depend on variety of factors. If you approach these so called successful people and ask for the secret so success, they will have different stories to tell about their failures or shortcomings. But for me, the ultimate successful person in life is one who is always happy and contended in life
Some of your may ask what is it that stand in the way between us and happiness? In other words why are we so much miserable? The answer is simple –it is our self-centeredness.
We live in an age where we are getting progressively more self-centered. Whether it is at home, school , college, office or in interactions with friends. Relatives, we tend to think more about what we are getting . In all relationships, we are only more bothered about how much the other person is doing or not doing. The result? Breakdowns in relationships, frustration at the workplace-a definite recipe for misery.
We may not know when selfish attitude becomes a predominant trait and influences our personality. Perhaps it could be even without our awareness. This is why it is very important to make a conscious effort to deal within. But how?.
The answer is only by an “attitude of service”. As it is much more than actual service. I am afraid, when you hear the word “service” you may think, in the process of serving people , you will be deprived of all your possessions and little enjoyments. But the first and last beneficiary count of such an attitude is only You. When we deal in the world with an attitude or spirit of service, we think about what we can give in any interaction rather than what we can gain from it.
This attitude can be cultivated and comes out of an awareness of all that we have been blessed with. When you realize what you have been given, unasked and unexpected, you realize how important it is to give back.
When you begin to function out of an attitude of service, you begin thinking of what you can give. And strangely, you would end up benefiting the most.
The benefit that comes out of service is a sense of inner peace. It comes out of the satisfaction of doing whatever you can for the common good of the people. The society improves as a result of your service. A little effort of yours can go a long way in helping others. And the most important benefit is that it helps you progress on the spiritual path by overcoming your selfishness, bit by bit, . It makes you more humane towards the environment and people around you.
The whole world will stand up and say” Here is a successful person” because he has fulfilled the purpose of human life.
Little Drops of Water
Little drops of water, little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land.
So the little minutes , humble though they be
Make the mighty ages of eternity.
Mind Your Word
A careless word may kindle strife
A cruel word may were a life
A timely word may level stress
A loving word may heal and bless
Deceit and quarreling will end in suffering
The obstacle in our path
A king had a wooden log placed on a roadway. Then he bid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge log. Many people came by and loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them tried to remove it out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. He laid down his load and moved the log out of the way. Below the log the noticed a purse lying which contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the log. The peasant learned what many others never understand. Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one’s condition
Quote from True Religion Always Help
Youth is a very exciting time. Many people want, if possible, to stay young and vigorous all their life. And there are charlatans who tell you through laugh advertisement that they can enable you to stay young always either through yoga or though estrogen or progesterone treatments . it requires a considerable amount of stupidity to go in for eternal youth. They become the most pitiable of creatures who, though their youth is gone, want to give the impression that they are blossoms of early morning. They have somehow missed the dignity and purpose of life.
It is not in the shame of nature that anyone should always remain young. At a particular age the skin should wrinkle and the nerves grow weak and this is nothing to be ashamed of or worried about. It is the law of nature that it takes a morning, and afternoon, and evening and a night to make a full day. And every part of the day has its own value, purpose and beauty. The evening is not necessarily less beautiful than the morning.
Undoubtedly, youth a beauty of its own. Its beauty is the beauty and spiritual potential, whereas the beauty of advancing and old age is the beauty of serenity attained though experience ; it is the beauty of growth in mind and spirit which is far superior to the beauty of mere flesh. Those shoe have been nurtured in religion from childhood, manifest with advancing age a power and a glow child is hardly ever seen in youth. Where others feel frustration, boredom and disgust in old age, those who practice spiritual disciplines experience sweetness and joy in spite of their falling body. Through spiritual discipline they have come to experience in the depths of their being an awareness of the ineffable . Spiritual joy far outweighs the loss of physical pleasure.
The real man is not the body. He is not the mind. He is the Atman. Only religion brings one this awareness in vivid experience. With this plenary experience one becomes a liberated soul. Such a soul experience unalloyed bliss and happiness . One radiant peace, light and sweetness.

Common Bond

Monday 8t –February- 2010
Common Bond
Terence, who was born a slave and made something of himself in Rome twenty-one centuries ago, said this. “I am a man nothing that concerns mankind is alien to me”. He was a comedian and was the first to proclaim the principle of common kinship in man.
Whether he is a black, red, brown or white , whether his language is different from yours whether he is rich or poor , whether he is a slave or free, whether this appearance is different form your whether his thoughts about life are different from yours, you have one common bond with an other person in the Universe.
The suffering, the sorrows, the greed, the despair, the loneliness and emptiness, the insecurity and uncertainly, the doubt and fear are the same. We all suffer the same. But there is a far greater bond that can hold us tougher. The faith and hope fortitude and persistency , smiles and laughter, understanding and courage, self respect and self-acceptance, confidence and encouragement, we can give each other in times of crises and in times of peace, seeking peace of mind. This is the greatest bond of all to hold us together as we struggle in the slow evolution form hatred, to tolerance, to love.
At no time in history has the call of unity of all people been greater then now. In this time of agonizing wars, in this time of nuclear weapons that threatens human existence. I believe that human understanding and sympathy. I believe that human encouragement and dignity will hold us together for a better world.
Sense of Self-Worth
Without a personal philosophy, a strong perception of who you are and what you stand for, you get buffeted around by every person, message, idea and event that comes down the road. You will find yourself running off in all directions at once. Instead of focusing on important problems .
The person who stands out in the crowd demonstrates that he has his own set of values and has a strong sense of self-worth. While the winds of conflicting idea blow some people away., and the tides of various fads(crazy ideas) wash others away, he will stand firm . and that is a big part of being smart and to get ahead and stay ahead.
Thoughts And Aspiration
You cannot get back yesterday. You are not sure of tomorrow. Today is yours to make whatever you want.
Let me be as good a I can. But never feel that I am superior to others. Let me never forget that the others are always better than I am.
You are not the body! You are the immortal soul within! There fore, do not become a slave of the body. Do not keep running after shadow shapes that come and go!
It is vital that we cultivate the healing habit of silence in this age of noise and ceaseless activity.
In prayer , we talk to God so much that we fail to hear His Voice. Learn to be still-and you will hear His Voice!
God is the Life of our life. He s the Breath of our breath. He is the Universal Self which is in each one of us. How can I get away from my true self?
Our life is shaped by our attitude . If you start complaining, there is so much to complaining. There is so much to complain about. It is the attitude that counts.
Enthusiasm is the greatest asset you can possess-for it can take you further than money power or influence.
Do not commit the sin of harboring an uncharitable thought against a brother or of slandering anyone behind his back.
Our thoughts are all-powerful. How many of us can really control them?
Miracles do happen in the live of individuals who lay their trust in God!
No one else is to blame for your present condition. You have built it with your own thoughts and desires. Generated in the near or distant past.

Quote from The Essence of Gita
I had read a story in my childhood. It was entitled .”The Difference between Having and Not Having Eyes.” This is how the story goes; One day two men went for a walk in an open field. One of them returned disgusted having seen nothing interesting during his walk that day. But his companion returned with great joy after collection many new herbs, examining the fertility of the land, and filling his pockets with different types of stones. Both of them had gone for a walk in the same field. The only difference was that the second man knew how to use his eyes.
