<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">From my gurus, I know that God keeps coming back to us again and again in different forms that are called Avtars. He came to my country India in the form of Lord Krishna, Lord Rama, & Lord Buddha, and it’s my firm believe that he will come back once again or perhaps he has already taken birth, who knows!</span><br />

As mother, she serves the society with love and compassion winning the hearts of millions, and as the Divinity, she is one who assures people of liberation. Herself very soft-spoken and through simple words she teaches the world the most profound truths. Her affectionate maternal love tamed the rebellious spirits of many; but her great power lay in her solicitude for all. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am talking about one such woman who is believed to be a person that belongs to the Ramayana Era dating 7000 years back. She has the mystical powers to stop the rain, she has the power to tell you on your face about your past, present and future. Now, you may not be believing me at this point, as is the case with many and even I never believed to these stories even after watching her demonstrating her supernatural powers on the Television in a leading news channel. My mind didn’t want believe that such a person actually exists in today’s world, who truly has the powers that people talk about around her. Here, I just want to inform you that she and her powers are greatly respected and recognized by the Government in her country of birth, Sri Lanka. Her name is Ganga Sudarshini Zoiza, but it is believed that she is a rebirth of Queen Suparnikha or Surpanakha.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I first met her in wee hours of the morning amidst cold breeze and astounding aromatic smoke around us, I could not believe my eyes that I am actually in front of that person who the world says is the sister of King Ravana, who truly has great powers to do anything to help people. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Holy Mother Shri Ganga Sudarshini, is conscious of her divine nature, but she rarely expresses this awareness. She is fully aware of her follower’s present limitations and their future possibilities. As much as I know, no one till date went away from her with a downcast heart.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyone can meet her by taking prior appointment by contacting to her admin from their webiste: </span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;"><a href="http://www.infuture.co/">http://www.infuture.co</a>. One can find about her latest Predictions in the Astro Predictions tab above. My gurus always preach that the outstanding virtues of womanhood are courage, serenity, self-control, sweetness, compassion, wisdom, and an intuitive relationship with God. Holy Mother possesses all these virtues. I just pray that, the blessings of the holy mother be with us always.</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Everybody likes appreciations, awards, recognition and exposure in their respective jobs. The reasons for aspiring for these awards and accolades or promotion, name and fame is either monetary gains or improvement in the reputation of one self or may be both. But how many of us work for the sake of work and not for any kind of recognition or promotion? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So what does spirituality has to do with Job Satisfaction? Well, the answer my dear is; Work Is Worship. Today I want to draw your attention to the secret to name and fame in job or elsewhere. The secret is hidden in the central idea of the Gita (the holy book of the Hindus) and that is – Work incessantly without any kind of expectations on the returns.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #660000; line-height: 11.4133338928223px;">One can work constantly without being bothered about the returns of his hard work, only when his character is established. The character becomes good when we are surrounded with good impressions. Similarly, if one is surrounded by bad impressions, the person will perform badly. In office if you continuously give importance to listening to bad words, bad thoughts and you pick up interest in bad actions, your mind will be full of bad impressions; and they will influence your thoughts not to work or give contribution to the team objectives and group goals. As a matter of fact, these bad impressions do not stop working, and the resultant will be evil, which is obvious. What happens next is, you earn yourself a bad name in the organization and you will have no control to help yourself out of it. We really need to understand the reason of poor performance to make corrective actions. The large accumulation of these bad impressions in a man’s mind create a strong motivational power to resort to all sorts of wrong doings. The person then becomes a machine in the hands of his own impressions and they will force him to perform less than that as is expected out of him.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Similarly if you think good thoughts and do good works, there will be large accumulation of good thoughts in your minds. The result of these good thoughts is bound to be good. These thoughts will force you to do well even in spite of yourself. When you do so much of good work and you have thought of so many of good thoughts that there is no scope and tendency left in you to do bad, you will then continue doing the good jobs in spite of you getting distractions by evil thoughts. Your tendency to perform beyond expectations and be a good performer will give befitting replies to these evil distractions through your actions. When you find yourself in such a situation, it is said that your character is established.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 11.4133338928223px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #660000; line-height: 11.4133338928223px;">What does a tortoise do? It tucks its feet and head inside its own shell. You may kill it or break it into pieces, but it will never come out. Similar should be the character of yours. Control your inner forces, and I assure you, nothing can draw you out against your will. The spiritual wisdom that you gain by continuously thinking of good thoughts and good impressions moving over the surface of your mind, your tendency of performing better becomes strong, and do you know what would be the result? The result, I believe, it will be that; that you will be able to control the sense-organs and the nerve-centres. Thus your character will be established. Let me tell you my friend, you will be safe for ever; you cannot do any evil.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #660000; line-height: 11.4133338928223px;">When you start working on what I just told you in the above lines my friend, you will know the secret to your very own level of JOB SATISFACTION in which ever field you are in. You will find yourself content in each and every situation of life. You will perform better than your previous you under immense pressure.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hope the New Year, 2015 is treating you well. Today, I am going to talk a little about the Character of an individual and a bit about Karma.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSROictqUK7-Gvab14I4wEryu529mcYq_aK1Su4I_5BIScWEVhAe6mVGehSDKrpHnQ52gG7mp36QVhDO8KgasrG-xR29514rimrJc1ChRKB2dIgsAta7VMYTrEY52fbtfLXnrDV198kAs/s1600/Somnath_Swamiji.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSROictqUK7-Gvab14I4wEryu529mcYq_aK1Su4I_5BIScWEVhAe6mVGehSDKrpHnQ52gG7mp36QVhDO8KgasrG-xR29514rimrJc1ChRKB2dIgsAta7VMYTrEY52fbtfLXnrDV198kAs/s320/Somnath_Swamiji.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I believe that the character of any person is the blend of his tendencies and the summation of the bent of his mind. I have heard many motivational speakers say this to their audience that we are what our thoughts have made us. Did you ever realize that every single work that we do, every movement of our body and every thought that strikes us, deliver an impression on the mind. If you notice that what we are at different moments is actually determined by the sum total of these impressions on our mind. Everybody's character is at every moment in their life is determined by the sum total of these impressions. If good impressions prevail, the character becomes good, if bad impressions prevail, it becomes bad.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, what is Karma? The word Karma is derived from the Sanskrit word<i> Kri</i>, which literally means -To Do; therefore, we can say that all actions is Karma. However, there is another meaning of this word, which is; The Effects Of Actions. In metaphysics, sometimes it also means the Effects Of Our Past Actions. But then, what is Karma Yoga? In Karma-Yoga we have simply keep in mind the word Karma which means work. Swami Vivekananda often mentioned in his discourses, that the goal of mankind is knowledge; and it is that knowledge which is one ideal placed before us by Eastern philosophy. Pleasure should never be the goal of man; instead it should be acquiring knowledge. Pleasure and happiness will and for sure, come to an end someday.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Good and evil have an equal contribution in the construction of a person’s character. In some instances, you will learn that misery is a greater teacher than happiness. If someone does a research on the great characters of the world, I would say, in majority of the cases, it would be seen that it is misery that has taught more lessons than happiness, it would be found that it is poverty that taught more lessons than wealth, it is blows that brought out their inner fire more the praises they have received.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, this knowledge, I would say, is inherent in mankind. All the knowledge is already inside us; it does not come from outside. 'When we say a person "knows," in strict psychological language, should mean what he "discovers" or "unveils"; whatever a man "learns" is actually what that person "discovers," by taking the cover off from his own soul. I have learnt from Swami Vivekananda’s teachings that the soul is a mine of infinite knowledge. Let me put this across to you this way; we say Newton discovered gravitation. Was this gravitation sitting somewhere in some corner waiting for him to come and discover it? No, it was in his mind; when the time came, he found it out. Your own mind is the infinite library of the universe. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind, but the object of your study is always your own mind. The falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newton, and he studied it in his own mind; and how he did that? He arranged all the links of thought in his mind and discovered a new link among them, which is known to us as the law of gravitation. I would say that, it was neither the apple nor anything in the Centre of the earth. All knowledge whether secular or spiritual, is in the human mind. In most cases it would not be discovered, and it would have remained covered, and when the covering is being slowly taken off we say "we are learning," and the advancement of knowledge is actually the advancement of this process of uncovering.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In connection to what I said, Swamiji (Swami Vivekananda) had once mentioned in one of his discourse, “the man from whom this veil is being lifted is the more knowing man. The man upon whom it lies thick is ignorant, and the man from whom it has entirely gone is all-knowing, omniscient. There have been omniscient men and I believe there will be yet, and that there will be myriads of them in the cycles to come. Like fire in a piece of flint, knowledge exists in the mind; suggestion is the friction which brings it out. So with all our feelings and actions—our tears and our smiles, our joys and our griefs, our weeping and our laughter, our curses and our blessings, our praises and our blames—every one of these we may find, if we calmly study our own selves, to have been brought out from within ourselves by so many blows. The result is what we are; all these blows taken together are called Karma,—work, action. Every mental and physical blow that is given to the soul, by which, as it were, fire is struck from it, and by which its own power and knowledge are discovered, is Karma, this word being used in its widest sense; thus we are all doing Karma all the time. I am talking to you: that is Karma. You are listening: that is Karma. We breathe: that is Karma. We walk: Karma. Everything we do, physical or mental, is Karma, and it leaves its marks on us”.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There arises a difficult question in this ideal of work. Intense activity is necessary; we must always work. We cannot live a minute without work. What then becomes. of rest? Here is one side of the life-struggle,—work, in which we are whirled rapidly round. And here is the other, that of calm, retiring renunciation: everything is peaceful around, there is very little of noise and show, only nature with her animals and flowers and mountains. Neither of them is a perfect picture. A man used to solitude, if brought in contact with the surging whirlpool of the world, will be crushed by it; just as the fish that lives in the deep sea water, as soon as it is brought to the surface, breaks into pieces, deprived of the weight of water on it that had kept it together. Can a man who, has been used to the turmoil and the rush of life live at ease if he comes to a quiet place? He suffers and perchance may lose his mind. The ideal man is he who, in the midst of the greatest silence and solitude, finds the intensest activity, and in the midst of the intensest activity finds the silence and solitude of the desert. He has learned the secret of restraint; he has controlled himself. He goes through the streets of a big city with all its traffic, and his mind is as calm as if he were in a cave, where not a sound could reach him; and he is intensely working all the time. That is the ideal of Karma-Yoga, and if you have attained to that you have really learned the secret of work.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But we have to begin from the beginning, to take up the works as they come to us and slowly make ourselves, more unselfish every day. We must do the work and find out the motive power that prompts us; and, almost without exception, in the first years, we shall find that our motives are always selfish; but gradually this selfishness will melt by persistence, till at last will come the time when we shall be able to do really unselfish work. We may all hope that some day or other, as we struggle through the paths of life, there will come a time when we shall become perfectly unselfish; and the moment we attain to that, all our powers will be concentrated, and the knowledge which is ours will be manifest.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In my last
post, I talked about the Power of Concentration and I ended that with a
question – Can we become the master of using the power of concentration? Well,
my answer to that is – yes.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Yogis
say that we can attain perfect control of our mind. Before I jump on talking
more on this subject, I want to tell you something about the danger in
developing the power of concentration. The danger that I am talking about is in
not being able to detach ourselves as per our will after concentrating our mind
on any object. This state causes great sufferings. Most of our suffering is caused because we do
not have the power to detach ourselves. Thus, along with the development of
concentration, we must develop the power of detachment. The Yogis say, that we
must learn the art of attaching the mind to one thing exclusively, and also to
detach at a short notice and place it on something else. These two, attachment
and detachment of mind should be developed together to make it safe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is
systematic development of the mind. I believe that the very essence of
education is concentration of mind and not collecting of facts. Swami Vivekananda
had once said that, there is no limit to the power of the human mind. The more
concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on one point.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first
step in training the mind is to begin with breathing. Regular breathing puts
the body in a harmonious condition, where it becomes easy to reach the mind.
While we are breathing, it is important to consider the posture. The proper
position is any posture where one can sit easily. The spine should be kept free
and the weight of the body should be supported by the ribs. It is said, that do
not try by contrivances to control the mind, simple breathing is all that is
required in that line.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000;">There are
many differences between men and animals and the most important one is in their
power of concentration. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Each and every
success in any line of work is the result of concentration. We all know
something about concentration and we all have seen the results of concentration
at some point in our lives. To site a few examples, I would say, the high achievements
in art, music, literature, drama etc are the results of concentration.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">An animal
has a very little concentration power. Those who train animals, they would
know, that the animal is constantly forgetting what is told to him. He cannot keep
his mind concentrated for long upon anything at a time. Here is the difference between man and
animals. Man has a greater power of concentration than animals. The difference
between powers of concentration is also seen between different individuals as
well. Compare the highest with the lowest man and you will find the difference is
in the degree of concentration.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Our mind
becomes concentrated at some point in time. We concentrate on things that we
love and we love those things on which we are able to concentrate our minds.
Which mother in the world does not love the face of her child? That face is the
most beautiful face to her, in the world. She loves it, because, she
concentrates her mind on that face. And, if everyone could concentrate on that
face, everyone would love it. It would be the most beautiful face to all. We concentrate
our minds upon those things that we love.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">The trouble
with this type of concentration is that, we do not control the mind. It is
actually, the mind that controls us. This is something outside of ourselves
that draws the mind into it and holds it there as long as it chooses. We hear melodious
tunes or see a beautiful painting, and the mind is held fast to that piece of
art, and we cannot take it away.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">If I talk to
you well, about a subject of your interest, your mind concentrates upon what I
am saying. I draw your mind away from you at that moment and hold it upon the
subject. Thus our attention is held, our minds are concentrated upon various
things and we cannot detach our mind from those things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Now the
question that arises is, Can this concentration be developed and can we become
the masters it? The yogis say, yes, we can develop this power of concentration
and master it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

</tbody></table>
<div class="Publishwithline">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you ever experienced the phenomenon that is known as thought-transference? It’s like a man in some place is thinking something, and that same thought is manifested in somebody else in a different place. Do you think that people who have had such great experiences in their life did that with any kind of preparations and not by chance? What I am saying to you right now is that- a man wants to send a thought to another person’s mind at a distance, and this other mind knows that he is about to receive a thought that is coming, and he receives it exactly as it was sent out. Distance didn’t make any difference at all. The thought travels and reaches the other man, and he/she understands it. Let me say this to you- if your mind is an isolated one in your location from where you are reading this blog post right now, and my mind an isolated one here in India which is my location in the world, and there were no connection between the two of us, then would it be possible for my thought to reach you? In general, it would not be my thought that you would be receiving directly. As a first step my thought has got to be dissolved into ethereal vibrations and then those ethereal vibrations enter your brain where they have to be resolved again by your brain to make your own thoughts. What I did is dissolution of thought, and what you received is a resolution of thought. This is not Telepathy because in telepathy, there is no such process involved; it is direct.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Yogis and spiritual leaders call it as Continuity Of Mind. They say that the mind is universal. Your mind, my mind and all these minds in the world are fragments of that universal mind like little waves in an ocean. It is due to this continuity of mind we all can convey our thoughts directly to one another.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is happening all around us? I have learnt that a certain part of our energy is used up in the preservation of our own bodies. The rest of our energy is being constantly used day and night in influencing others. I see that our bodies, our qualities, our understanding, and our spirituality, all these are continuously influencing others; and so, similarly we are influenced by them as well. I observe that this is all that is going around us. Let me take a concrete example. let’s say a man comes to you and you know he is very much learned and that his language nice. He speaks to you for an hour but does not make any impression. Then another man comes, he speaks to you a few words that are not well arranged, ungrammatical perhaps but makes an immense impression. We all have at some point in time seen this happening. So it is quite evident that words alone cannot always produce an impression. Words or even thoughts contribute just one-third of the influence in making an impression, and the man, two-thirds. Many of you call this as Personal Magnetism of man- I have learnt, that is what goes out and impresses you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You would also agree that in our families there are the heads; some of them are successful while others are not. Why? We complain of others or other things when we experience failure. The moment I am unsuccessful, I say that so-and-so is the cause of this failure. In failures, one does not like to confess his/her own faults and weaknesses. Every person tries to hold himself faultless and lay the blame upon somebody or something else and a few of us even put the blame on bad luck. I have learnt from my experiences that when heads of families fail, they should ask themselves, how is that some persons manage a family so well while others do not. When you dig more into this subject then you will find that the difference is in the man’s presence and his personality.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Let me come to great leaders of mankind and if observe, you will find that it was the personality of the man that counted the most. Now let us talk about all the great authors and the great thinkers of the past and the present times. Truly speaking- how many thoughts have they thought? Take all the writings that is written for us by the past leaders of mankind. Take each one of their books and appreciate them. Reading the thoughts in their books which they have left to us you find that the authors do not appear to be gigantic to us but we know this as a matter of fact that they were great and giant during their times. What made them so big? Not just the thoughts they had thought, neither was it the books they wrote, nor was it the speeches they made but it was something else that is now not there and is gone. That thing is their personality. The books of great authors that I discussed, the thoughts and the actions must come when the man himself is there and trust me, the effect is bound to follow the cause.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now please think of this- compare the great teachers of religions with the great philosophers. You will observe that the philosophers hardly influenced anybody from inside and yet we know that they wrote most marvelous books of all times. The teachers from religions on the other hand have moved countries during their times. The difference was made by their personality. The personality of a philosopher that influences people is weak as compared the great prophets whose were tremendous. In case of the philosopher we touch the intelligence and as a religious teacher we touch life. In the first case, it is simply a chemical process where in we put certain chemical ingredients together, which may slowly combine and under proper circumstances bring out a flash of light or may fail. In the other case, it is more like a torch which goes round quickly to provide light to others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The masters of yogic activities claim, that Yoga has discovered the laws which develops this personality. By proper attention to these laws and methods each and every one of us can grow and strengthen our personalities.</span></div>

scriptures falls in the month of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaitra" title="Chaitra"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Chaitra</span></a>, which roughly overlaps with March or
April and is called <i>Basanti Durga Puja</i>. This ceremony is also observed
by many and is greatly celebrated in the state of West Bengal. However, the Durga
Puja that is presently being observed by Indians in India and abroad is the more
popular form, which is also known as Sharadiya (Autumnal) Durga Puja. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"> There is a mythological belief that Lord Ram worshiped
Goddess Durga before going for a war with Ravana. Rama had performed
"Chandi Homa" and invoked the blessings of Durga, who blessed Rama
with secret knowledge of the way to kill Ravana. Since the Goddess is invoked
at the wrong time, it is called "</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Akaal Bodhon</span><span style="line-height: 115%;">" in Bengali and from that time
onwards we Indians are celebrating Durga Puja at this time according to the
Hindu Bengali Calendar. Also, on the day of Ashvin Shukla Dashami, Rama's party
found mother Sita and defeated Ravana. This day is thus also celebrated as Dussehra.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

probably many of the strongest economies in the world would not have moved to
fiscal deficit and would not have ended up with high unemployment rate and
poverty today. However, fortunately some of us do know it very well that- how
do we get out of debts and how do we get more money in our lives.</span></div>

trying to find out newer ways to earn more all the time. The reason we all try
to earn more and more is to keep ourselves out of debts, fulfill our dreams and
meet all our social and economic needs. The Hindu’s perform numerous spiritual
practices as per their religion as entrusted to them by the most ancient and

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The earliest idea is that a man,
when he dies, is not annihilated. Something lives and goes on living even after
the man is dead. Perhaps it would be better to compare the three most ancient
nations — the Egyptians, the Babylonians, and the ancient Hindus — and take
this idea from all of them. With the Egyptians and the Babylonians, we find a
sort of soul idea — that of a double. Inside this body, according to them,
there is another body which is moving and working here; and when the outer body
dies, the double gets out and lives on for a certain length of time; but the
life of the double is limited by the preservation of the outer body. If the
body which the double has left is injured in any part, the double is sure to be
injured in that part. That is why we find among the ancient Egyptians such
solicitude to preserve the dead body of a person by embalming, building
pyramids, etc. We find both with the Babylonians and the ancient Egyptians that
this double cannot live on through eternity; it can, at best, live on for a
certain time only, that is, just so long as the body it has left can be
preserved.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span></span><br /></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The next peculiarity is that there is an element of fear connected with this </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">double. It is always unhappy and miserable; its state of existence is one of </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">extreme pain. It is again and again coming back to those that are living, asking </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">for food and drink and enjoyments that it can no more have. It is wanting to </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">drink of the waters of the Nile, the fresh waters which it can no more drink. It </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">wants to get back those foods it used to enjoy while in this life; and when it </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">finds it cannot get them, the double becomes fierce, sometimes threatening the </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">living with death and disaster if it is not supplied with such food. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Coming to Aryan thought, we at once find a very wide departure. There is still </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">the double idea there, but it has become a sort of spiritual body; and one great </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">difference is that the life of this spiritual body, the soul, or whatever you may </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">call it, is not limited by the body it has left. On the contrary, it has obtained </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">freedom from this body, and hence the peculiar Aryan custom of burning the </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">dead. They want to get rid of the body which the person has left, while the </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Egyptian wants to preserve it by burying, embalming, and building pyramids.</span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">A very blessed day to you all </span><span class="GRcorrect" grcontextid="!:0" grmarkguid="a9a7bc63-e651-48f7-af7b-bc8e3d3b1c00" gruiphraseguid="0a9e4314-a261-4b19-9ce6-7068309aef6a" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">I
just wanted to share with you my feelings which I felt today: I want
you all to be happy in your life. But many of us, are going
through tough times or you may say bad times or may be painful times. I know this from my experience that there is joy
after pain. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #990000; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">My goal is not
attaining money, fame or sympathy- it is inspire you to achieve your
Highest Potential. I don't want people to look up to me to for any kind of inspiration because I presently do not any such quality that would help you realize your goals and dreams in life. But, what I know is sharing is caring. Therefore I am here to share everything that I have learnt so far. I am not a teacher nor a preacher, I am just practicing Spiritual Activities ,I have not yet mastered any part of it so far. I have found happiness and feel extremely good about my life from the time I have seriously been practicing various activities that can be categorized under spirituality and spiritual wisdom. I share my life story, because I hope that you get motivated and directed towards Spirituality. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">God bless you all.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000;">Dear Friend!</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">I want to update you that <b>The Spiritual Powers,</b> is now a Do Follow blog . Most of you would know what I mean by "Do Follow", but for those of you who are not aware of this term, don't worry, search for it in Google and Wikipedia. I am sure, after visiting Wikipedia and searching for it on Google, you will have a clear understanding of DO FOLLOW. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">I welcome all bloggers who write quality contents on various subjects,aspects and concepts of life to visit this blog and leave your valuable comments for me. I will do the same for you in return, and that is a promise for sure. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">I have changed my blog from "No Follow" to "Do Follow". And, why did I feel the need to do so? Well, it is to get connected to a large number of people including great bloggers around the globe. The other purpose of making it a Do Follow blog, is to distribute the knowledge that I have gained over the past few years on Spirituality. I am also keen to learn more from all wise men like you.Your good self is welcomed to read my blog , leave useful comments for me, so that I get to know more from you all. You may want to follow me as well, then please do, I want people to follow my blog. Because, quite honestly, that is one of the several ways of spreading any message to large number of people.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Following the spiritual practices that have been taught and preached by our spiritual leaders and gurus from the present and the ancient times will not only bring more happiness to life but also keep us free from all sorts of sorrows and disturbances of life. For example, meditation is a good way to keep ourselves focused and directed towards our goals and objectives of life. </span><span style="color: #660000;">The deep meditation has its own benefits and one of which includes activating the Kundalini Shakti or that force which is in its sleeping form inside ourselves. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">I am here only to spread knowledge and gain more from all intellectuals like you. Help me learn more and I will share all those that I have learnt by staying close to a few spiritual gurus of the present times . All the best and do take good care of yourself.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You might have often observed, that many of us try to encourage others by saying "think like a winner". What exactly, do they mean, by saying - think like a winner? Well, I believe, that thinking for an answer to this question itself require a great deal of knowledge. People who are categorized as winner do not do anything different from others, but, what they do differently is that-they believe in themselves and that makes them think in a different way, which we say as thinking like a winner. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today I just want to tell you that you are an inborn winner. Yes, you already are a winner. There is no such great quality, that you do not have in yourself. Try to dig deep inside yourself and try to realize the primordial soul (the Atman) which is the powerhouse of strength, courage, knowledge and wisdom. When you start doing this, people around you, will say- You think like a winner and are always in a win - win situation.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Christmas is a festival celebrated across the globe to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Most of the people in the world believe that the birth took place in a stable that was surrounded by farm animals. As per Luke 2:7, Mary "wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there wasn't any room for them in the inn" .The Shepherds from the fields in Bethlehem were told of the birth by an angel, and they were the first to see the child. It is also believed that three kings named Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar had come to see the infant Jesus in the manger.</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Often we find religious people and spiritual leaders talk about SPIRITUALITY.
Now what exactly do they want us to understand when they talk or discuss or
teach or give their discourses on SPIRITUALITY?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well, it is to enlighten
the inner self and discover the incredible ability of our soul to grow from
inside. I have learned from the spiritual gurus of the present time that the
soul is not bounded by the conditions of matter and <span style="background: white;">in its very essence, it is free, unbounded, holy, pure and perfect</span>.
I would say that SPIRITUALITY is a concept to discover the true ability of the
spirit inside ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today, let’s see a video from YouTube where we learn to develop
our Spiritual powers and understand SPIRITUALITY.</span></span><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 18px;">In this video we find the great saint of our mother land,we call him Babaji,giving a very important and interesting discourse on developing the Spiritual Powers and help us understand SPIRITUALITY. Babaji talks in hindi and then later also describes the same in English.</span></div>
