Change prerogative into Privilege

CHANGE PREROGATIVE INTO PRIVILEGE

It’s with an earnest request, I would require the readers to distinctly understand the difference between Prerogative and Privilege with its real meaning and change the former into latter. It may not be that easy in the beginning to bring about the required change as suggested. But once a sincere and earnest effort is made one will certainly be able to make it and enjoy it’s reap and results in abundance.

Many of you must have heard enough and few of you must have even used the word Prerogative inappropriately in various scenario and occasion such as Board meetings, Discussions, debates, family/ social gatherings etc.Talkers and Speakers using this word Prerogative to emphasize and establish their power of position and circumstantial power to make and feel many in the in the gathering ,dejected, depressed and embarrassed. It all begins like this- It’s my prerogative to……….Its again my prerogative to………It’s once again my prerogative to……….. and its always my prerogative to…… and goes on like this for quite some times until they quench the thirst and satisfy the hunger of their EGO and failing to note and understand that its only a temporary phenomenon, paving foundation for inner guilt forever( and this will be realized only at a very later stage of life)

This usage of Prerogative revolves and evolves in the minds of certain people, be it in corporate situation/business situation, personal and family scenario, academics life/career growth path etc, just because people do not care to get away Prerogatives and substitute with privileges, because of their ignorance, and due to this the prerogative always super commands and maintain its perfect and fine edge over Privilege in usage.

On the contrary, if only the speaker/talker/others as the case may be replaces the word Prerogative with Privilege in all the places of its use during the course of the speech/talk,
/conversation etc, it would have created a tremendous amount of fine changes and desired satisfaction in the minds of the listeners and created an indelible best of impression of the speaker, leading to the privilege of elated image and contentment of the speaker followed by the loud applause and satisfaction of his listeners/audience confirming his mankind.

From the foregoing, the readers must have clearly observed that the root cause of using this word prerogative is mainly due to their EGO and at times due to their gross arrogance and ignorance. It’s easy to overcome this weakness- Do like this- replace the the alphabet E in the EGO with A and then it becomes AGO which shall mean the ego in the person has vanished and the EGO has now become a matter of past by becoming AGO. I hope I have been able to convey it rightly for the benefit of the readers and may all those needs to be changed from prerogative to privilege be graced by the Supreme Power to achieve this fact of the life and to manifest your lives with magnanimity.

useful tips on bath and sleep

SOME USEFUL TIPS ON BATH AND SLEEP
BATH: -

Bath and sleep are two things one can hardly afford to miss during the life span. Hence it is advisable and better to have some awareness on these: -
The following are the most convenient and conventional types of baths: -

Shower bath: Is in the form of cold water spray on the head and body.

IS THERE IS GOD IN MAN ? YES INDEED & OFCOURSE

IS THERE GOD IN MAN? YES INDEED & OF COURSE

There is God in Man and there need not be any doubt on this, as this has been contained in Hindu mythology, presently be known as Indian literature , details the lives and times of legendary personalities and divine incarnations on earth,. Despite connotations of fiction in common usage, the term myth, (forms the part of Mythology) in theological and academic studies, does not necessarily imply that this is untrue. Therefore it may be noted that many of the topics that falls under the Hindu mythology are cherished beliefs and have proved to be historical accounts. It’s also intertwined with ancient Vedic religion and Vedic civilization and is fundamentally connected with Hindu system of philosophy. Hence should not become a matter for dispute or debate, but accept this truth gracefully and faithfully.

It may also be noted that Lord Brahma, out of his thought created seven sages, known as SAPTHA RISHIS who are the FATHERS of all other created beings and the seven sages are: BRIGU, ANGIRA, ATRI, VISHWAMITRA, KASHYAPA, VASHISHTA & AGASTHYA- to establish the fact that first creator and the first created being MEN.

There is a good old ancient belief and saying – God created Man and Man created God and both are same in the name and form (i.e. Manusho devo bhva Tatwamasi) unfortunately in today’s scenario, by and large man takes time to realize this truth. When God created man, man felt lonely and was not aware of what to do- he with reverence and devotion prayed and humbly pleaded to the creator for a company and thus God himself entered into the heart of man and still he finds his abode in man’s heart- that’s why it is being said that Man’s heart is a flame of Love and space with purity and divinity” that’s why God dwells in his heart.

Now having become the part of the supreme power, man thought how to make woman Goddess. Man in consultation with the God within him, have decided to make woman Goddess, by parting with half of the body to woman (As lord Siva did to his consort Paravathi and became Ardhanareeswarar) and thus came the first incarnation of Goddess in the name and form of Sakthi, originated by Man and from Man- That’s why it is said and considered that there is no Sakthi without Siva which means there is no existence of Woman without Man. The very word Woman came into being as man is there in WO (man) and with out this Man, woman will be only WO and this means, misery, misfortune, calamity, pain, curse etc... It is Man who has removed all these adversities and negative elements from woman by adding himself to WO as man (Woman) and parting away with half of his body with intellectual wisdom, knowledge, divine possession and position to woman and created woman. To re-emphasize the God in man look at this-again from the ancient sayings by Rishis that woman gets the credit, benefit and half share of all the good thoughts, actions and deeds of man and he in turn gracefully accepts half share of sins and adversities out of the thought, actions and deeds of Woman- what a magnanimity in a Man as in God. That’s why its quite of ten said God is great so as Man. One has to gracefully believe it and accept this fact with unstinted belief and faith. To-day in many Indian families man (husband) is considered God to be worshipped first by woman (wife) before temple and deity worship and this principle and practice followed has brought about tremendous amount of favorable and prosperous results to the family.

By reading texts on Hinduism, Hindu mythology, Hindu scriptures, Hindu epic, Vedic mythology, Vedanta siddantha etc. one will gather more knowledge on the subject to accept the facts of the titled subject gracefully.

May God grace & bless all.
