Who can help you?

Who can help you?

Who can help you?

Parents, friends, colleagues, social networks, relatives?

Whats-app, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Google?

God, Evil, Planets, Stones, Numerology, Astrology?

Nobody and Nothing can help you, including God!

I'm very clear in my statement. If you look at your life and achievements, all happened because of you only. If you think it’s because of others, those achievements will not stay longer with you. Of course nothing stays longer, everything is inevitable.

Many people believe that, if I get in touch with that person or this person, I may get some favours from them, this is a height of stupidity, in fact these thoughts come out of fear or driven by fear.

If you look at any achievements and great leaders in the world, they are the creators of their success.

If you think God can help you? No, you are wrong! Here is what Swami Vivekananda said in one of his teachings:

Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, ‘Have faith in this fellow or that fellow’, but I say, ‘Have faith in yourself first’, that’s the way. Have faith in yourself – all power is within you – be conscious and bring it out. Say, ‘I can do everything.’ ‘Even the poison of a snake is powerless if you can firmly deny it.’

Be free; hope for nothing from anyone. I am sure if you look back upon your lives you will find that you were always vainly trying to get help from others which never came. All the help that has come was from within yourselves.

Ask Sachin Tendulkar, who made you to take the Bharatratna award. Nobody, in fact no one can give that. What happened in his case, Government of India made law changes and included sports section and presented him a Bharatratna award.

Who helped A P J Abdul Kalam to reach such a height in professional and political life. Nobody! he is the creator of his success, may be many tried to pull him down, by cast, religion, and so on. He is a Diamond, it's impossible to prove him as a stone, so he reached heights with his own efforts.

Responsible person will get responsibilities.

If you don't believe in yourself, how others can believe in you. This applies to all success stories of life: Marriage, Friendship, Relationships, Professional, Economical, and Social life.

Have the greater belief and trust in yourself! That will unfold all universal secrets. This will happen in a magical way. Remember, once you start believing, start accepting every good and bad with same respect (because those are happening with some purpose), noting can stop you.

Father, Mother, Children, Friends, Relatives, Spouse, God, and Evils. No one can help you. If you have something to give, they stay with you. If you have nothing, no one stays with you. This does not mean that; it’s only material or money. Just a pure love and kindness can bring you many things in your life. Again, all these people can't help you, you are the one who can create or destroy your life.

Who spoiled your life?

It’s you, no one can do. Now a days we commonly see people say as below:

For Success and Achievements: this is all my hard work, this is my intelligence, this is all my effort, this is all because of me and so on.

For Failure and Loss: this is because of this or that person, this is done by others, this is by God, this is by Evil and so on.

When success comes, they say its me, for the failure they say it’s by others.

What to do, how to get success in life?

Your mind is a greatest weapon, it's like a knife. You can use it to cut vegetables or kill others or kill yourself. Use your mind consciously, be alert, be aware and be meditative. You will see greatest power in you. Every human has infinite potential, it’s like a blind person having diamond in his hand, for him it's just like a stone. Similarly, you too… you are not blind, but you have closed your eyes. You have forgotten the skills to open your eyes.

As per Tao teaching, one should live life in this way: 50% your efforts, 50% give to God or Tao, this means other 50% is taken care by the universe, that is driven by the force of your belief system, but it looks different than your expected results. Many times, you get some unwanted results, consider them as Tao/God driven things. Universe has great algorithms running and it control and activates every atom in the universe. Based on your beliefs and efforts you make universe to work for you. Don't be the slave to the universe, be the master to the universe by increasing your consciousness.

Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith, faith in God – this is the secret of greatness. If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and in all the gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you. – Swami Vivekananda.

Don’t wait for someone or something, start working or thinking on your dreams or goals, have faith in yourself, that brings reality. Because; You are the creator of your destiny.

Heights of Gratitude

Heights of Gratitude

India as a country shows height of gratitude, by its culture.

After having studied so many Western popular bestseller books, I realized one thing that gratitude. It is very important in one’s life. All are saying express deep gratitude to everything that makes sense, happy, living, and so on.

Here in India (especially Hindus) people treat everything with gratitude, more than that they treat them as Gods.

Yes, India is a country having millions of God's. It has also imported other countries God’s, and following better than the originated countries.

Let me explain how they classified Gods.

•         Air is treated as Vaayu Deva.
•          Fire is treated as Agni Deva.
•         Earth is treated as Bhoomi Thayi.(Mother Earth)
•          Water is treated as Ganga Matha (Mother Ganga)
•          Sky is treated as Gagana Deva.
•          Water/Rain is treated as Varuna Deva
•          Sun is treated as Surya Deva.
•          Moon is treated as Chandra Deva.
•          Snake is treated as Naga Deva/Devi
•          Fish is treated as Matsya Avatar of Lord Vishnu
•          Cow is treated as Kamadenu. (Home for all gods)
•          Tree is treated as KalpaVruksua (wishes blessing tree)

Like this every tree, flower, leaves, grass, fruits, etc. is either treated as God or treated as God's favourite. Same way, almost all animal and bird’s community is also included in the list of God’s.

Treating people as they are reflections of God’s:

• Matru devobhava treating mother like a God.
• Pitru devobhava treating father like a God.
• Atiti devobhava treating guests like a God.
• Acharya devobhava treating teachers like God.

Hindus found God in many other things such as: stars, rocks, stones, hills, mountains, rivers, seas, oceans, sounds, lights, and planets.

They also see God in Books/Paper [Goddess Saraswati], Currency/Money [Goddess Lakshmi], Metals, Food Grains [as Planets], and so on. In India people see God in diseases as well.

Like above there are 33 million gods under the hierarchy of Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara (Invisible to everyone)

Some people say treating everything as God is stupidity. I don't agree with that, in fact treating everything commercial is stupidity. That is the reason we are destroying forests, polluting rivers and ocean, poisoning all our foods and grains, contaminating water and so on.

I think this concept of Hinduism is built based on non-dual concept. Everything on this earth is more important for human well being. That is why they have seen god in every living and nonliving things; they have seen God in all visible and invisible things.

Let me quote few lines of Abhinava Gavisiddeswar Swamiji, Koppal;

•      Tell me what is your contribution to this nature which has helped you in your birth, growth, and living.
•     If you buy one water bottle, you pay money.  God is filling lakes, rivers and ocean, what have you paid for that.
•    If you take one meal you pay, God is serving food to this entire world, what have you paid for that.
•    I    If you don't pay electric bill, power corporation disconnects the power. Sun and moon are giving light day and night from years, what have you paid for them. Have you given money for that? They don’t need your money, just give gratitude and thanks.
•   If you get air to your car/bike tubes you pay, your lungs breathe air 12/20 times per minute, what have you paid for that.

In this world, nothing belongs to you, all is God’s grace. When you feel it's yours, it will become a material; if you treat it’s God's, it will become Prasad. For example, if you take fruits from home to the temple, after offering to the God, it will turn as Prasad. Even though it is just a fruit, before and after offering you start seeing it differently. So, it's not in things, it's in your perception. Just change your perception to see Prasad in everything.

So, treat everything as gift of God or Gods grace; it’s a beautiful way of showing gratitude.

Send some gratitude and thanks to the mother Earth, Air, Water and all the organisms. You feel happy!

This is one of the reason we say Inclusion is life, exclusion is death! Please read para/heading in the link, titled as: Everything and everybody is important and must required

No retirement in Life!

No retirement in Life!

There is no age limit like; 50, 60, 70 to stop working or to take retirement. Human are designed to work till last day of life, few systems/societies brought the concept of retirement.

Look at the monkey, both young and old - they jump on trees and find their food and stay active and healthy. Whereas we human take retirement, invite many diseases and live old age life with diseases and disabilities.

Some modern corporate people ask their parents to take retirement by thinking that they can earn more money. It is the stupidest thing anyone can do asking their parents to stop working or take retirement. That's indirect way of making them as unhealthy and disabled.

Age measurements and retirement policies are reducing human life expectancy.

In India, especially in Punjab I have seen many old age people working in farms, I felt happy by seeing people with age 70, 80, etc. working in farms and fields, driving tractors, doing hard work and so on.

Unfortunately, in South India retirement is trending, that is the reason life expectancy is also reduced.

My grandfather started new Mango and Sweet Lemon farm at the age of 80, by getting water pipe lines from kilometres to the plantation farm. Within ten years, he himself saw millions of earnings. He worked till his last days (96th year he left us).

So, I say right age even to start working is@80+, in 80's also you may get some exceptional results!!!

People who are not working are the hometowns for all the diseases, disabilities and mental illness. One should work till his last day of life, APJ Abdul Kalam is another great example for this.

One more person I saw was Sri. Raghavendra Swamiji Malladihalli, he was working, doing yoga, and running like a kid at his 96 years of age. I’m really blessed to be a student of Sri. Raghavendra Swamiji. Surprisingly, he is a Yoga Guru of Sadhguru (Jaggi Vasudev) [Ref Video: Sadhguru]and Dr.RajaKumar(Kannada Film Legend).

Above are the images of Sri. Raghavendra Swamiji @90+

Look at some political leaders, film stars, poets, and scientists. They are still working... Example: Warren Buffett, H. D. Deve Gowda, Amitabh Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, and many more.

Benefits of working:

1. It makes you responsible.

2. You will be physically fit.

3. It makes you learn new thing.

4. You create new circle of friends.

5. It keeps you focusing on work and avoids unnecessary thinking.

6. It helps to digest the food you eat.

7. It makes you happy. (Every achievement in work makes you happy)

8. It helps you to help others.

9. Life is creative, beautiful, colourful and no borings.

10. Your life expectancy increases.

11. Keeps you young and energetic.

12. You are earning money. (If you already earned, use your new earnings to help others, who are in real need, don’t stop working…)

Some people are afraid of death; hence they don’t go for work. Death will come at any point of time, it’s not guaranteed that by sitting at home you can escape from the death. Keep working till your last days to be happy and healthy!

Awesome person rocking at 90’s:

At the age 97 Charles Eugster started running, and he realized how much he know.

Why Natural Disasters?

Why Natural Disasters?

People give many reasons for natural disasters. I think all are just assumptions, nothing will be close to the reality.

Many times, you might have noticed that, many scientists, environmentalists, intelligent people give hundreds of reasons after the natural disasters. Unfortunately, no scientists ever predicted before disasters such as: earthquake, tsunami, floods/extreme raining, eruptions and so on.

Strangely, some animals, spiritual people or astrologers predicted to some extent. So, how to predict these natural disasters. The only way is by increasing our consciousness.

Why consciousness is important?

As many people suggested human consciousness has infinite capacity. It can reach where our present science cannot reach. Example: there is a mention of planets in Indian astrology, before the invention of telescope and shape of the Earth curved in Indian temple rocks before Pythagoras discovery.

How these people able see those things, without any device or tool? Reason is they have expanded their consciousness. With the help of higher consciousness one can experience beyond things.

It is said that, human body has all the devices to explore the world and entire universe, if one knows how to use it.

Till today in India, I have seen few people who can virtually travel distances and explain things more clearly than the person who experienced them.

Today our science needs to invest in decoding this higher level of consciousness. There are accepted fact that animals and birds recognize natural disasters earlier than humans. It doesn't mean that, humans are weak. All Vedas and Upanishads have proved that humans are the most advanced being compared with all the other living beings.

Why that skill disabled in human? As I said before in my earlier blog, external devices are preventing human to use his own gifted internal skills/tools/intelligence. Example: once you rely on alarm clock, human natural alarm clock stops working. Similarly, so many great sensing devices disabled in human, because we are more relayed on external devices.

How to enable internal tools or devices?

We need to work on the things which are suggested in Vedas and Upanishads. Meditation is the only or great solution to expand our consciousness, Implementations of those teachings may help to understand our nature with some extent.

Again, God's games are always unknown, uncertain and unpredictable. 

See the above image two people sittings on grass. How many ants and other organism will be killed/affected by one simple action. Again, if they just stand up and walk two steps, it may take many lives of insects, bugs and worms.

What If Ants do research on understanding human behaviour, when he sits, where he sits, why he sits, and so on. Ants can predict human behaviour? It looks funny right! Yes; for ants it's impossible to understand complete actions of human. Similarly, for humans it's impossible to understand God's actions.

In recent days what happened in our Kerala and Karnataka with the rain floods, many people are telling it's because of cutting trees, building roads, and so on. All these are just imaginary facts, nothing close to the reality. If you ask them earlier disasters of Mumbai and Chennai rain floods, again they give different reason for that.

God’s games are way bigger than our imaginations. Just one quantum leap can take many lives in seconds. To understand these actions is highly impossible, still there are ways, some level of understanding is possible by enhancing our consciousness. Through meditation it’s possible to experience higher consciousness.

Some lights on consciousness, each teaching is presented in different way. Fact is only one, it’s like same subject given to 4 different teachers, each of them explains in different way with different examples, based on their expertise.

·       Consciousness beautifully explained in 200 sec | Swami Sarvapriyananda at IIT Kanpur

·       What is Consciousness by Sadhguru, Eckhart Tolle, Michio Kaku & Mooji | Mystics of India | 2018

·        OSHO: There Is No Creator

·       Consciousness -- the final frontier | Dada Gunamuktananda | TEDxNoosa 2014

Note: Above presentations look strange to the people who believes mind and consciousness are physical/physiology, But above videos give some level of understanding on consciousness.

Only thing we can do is, giving helping hand for the affected people, praying speedy recovery and peace for the families who lost their loved ones.

Helping others is helping yourself, because we realized that all are part of us and we are part of all, please send your contributions to the Govt state and central Ministers account, to rebuild the affected people lives.

Screwup the honest

Screwup the honest

Is being honesty good or bad? Many in corporate tell its bad. One of my friend I recently met asked me with a little confusion – Vishnu being honest is good? I was not surprised by the question, because so called dishonest people will quote works of Chanakya to justify dishonesty and it is more viral in internet. It goes like this: A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first. (I’m not sure, if it’s really said by Chanakya and why and in which context).

If the above stupid statement is true why to follow Kosha, Shiva Purana, Bhagavata, Bhagavad Gita, Tripiṭaka, Agam Sutras, Guru Granth Sahib, Bible, Tao Te Ching, Quran, and other religious books and teachings which addresses the subject of integrity and honesty.

Unfortunately, every dishonest, cunning, and unethical person are misusing the above Chanakya quote to justify themselves.

Most of the people fail to remember as to, why till today Jesus is treated with great respect? He being truthful was never worried of being nailed and went on to forgive those who troubled him.

What makes Gandhi a Mahatma? if he followed that stupid so called Chanakya statement, there is no possibility that, we have Gandhi and Freedom to India.

Some people renamed “fraud” as being diplomatic, every fraudulent thing they are justifying as, its diplomatic.

Of course, Everyone is honest with their own definition. One says stealing 100 is fine, you should not steal 1 million, another person who is stealing 1 million says as; stealing 1 billion is not good.

Similarly, one will say; one rape or one murder is fine. Hundred or thousand are not good.

What are the reasons for immoral and dishonest behaviour in the society?

Now people are running behind the money and materials, they are least bothered about values and ethics. Reason for all these are; fear, worry, jealous, too much of selfishness and so on.

The deeper desire of money and position is slowly eliminating honesty and morality from the humanity.

Now there is a need to bring back the honest and moral values, else the human beings will become wild or like animals, as Swami Vivekananda said: The secret of religion lies not in theories but in practice, Religion is the idea which is raising the brute unto man, and man unto God.

I just remember of my grandfather's age, if you ask someone to take care of your product or property, they were doing it like the owners, in those days giving word to someone was more than a bond agreement. Now if you request? someone to take care of property/product, he may himself call the thief and get percentage or commission on it and forget about words. These days agreements are also re-created and violated.

In my early days there was some specific time to broadcast crime stories (in TV), now every 30 min either in breaking news or in scroll text, they are showing many scams, crimes and stealing.

How to bring back those golden days of morality and honesty in Humanity:

There are few areas we need to focus on:

1. Govt sector: In all the government sectors, recognition of honest and moral should be showcased, every ministry of state and central government should have practice of recognizing bureaucrats and general public. Every heads of Govt office should initiate honest recognition program by identifying honest people and rewarding them in occasions and gatherings.

2. Corporate sector: every corporate should introduce some surveys or events to identify and recognize the honest and moral people, they should give some benefits to the honest, to encourage other employees.

3. Education sector: every school and colleges need to introduce more successful moral stories in their academics and teach benefits of being moral.

4. Home: Home is a first school, its parent’s responsibility to teach kids about: morals, values, good cultures, service and sacrifices, as APJ Abdul Kalam said: Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.

5. Media: media should stop projecting criminals as hero’s or leaders, instead they should go beyond money and TRP; they should bring all moral and honest people into the limelight.

As per my opinion Implementation of morality and honesty makes difference between human and animal, else both look similar.

Identify, Recognize, Respect, Reward and Award the people with integrity and honesty, else your own children or grandchildren will eat, what you are sowing today.

Dharmo Rakshathi Rakshitaha - it means that following a righteous path will save your life.
