Beautiful Sayings.......................................
"The greatest gift you can give some one is your time,
Because when you are giving someone your time,
You are giving them a portion of your life
That you will never get back."
We love ourselves even after doing many mistakes.Then how can we hate others for their one mistake.
Think before you hate someone or hate yourself.
The greatest advantage of speaking the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
If your eyes are positive you would like all the people in the world.But if your tongue is positive all the people in the world like you.
Life is about the art of drawing without an eraser, so be careful while taking decisions about the most valuable pages of your life.
I met money and said why everyone runs behind you, you are just a piece of paper........... Money smiled and said of-course I am just a piece of paper, but I haven't seen a dustbin yet in my whole life.
Life is like a coin. Pleasure and Pain are the two sides. Only one side is visible at a time. But remember other side is also waiting for it's turn.
If you like someone, show it. It will be sweeter then telling. But if you don't like someone. Just tell it. It will be less painful then showing it.
Love doesn't start in morning and end in evening.
It starts when you don't need it and ends when you need it most.
What's greater than mom's love?
Which pillow is better then Mom’S lap?
Which company's better then friends?
There are some things in life with no substitutes.
Love them forever.

FATHER.......A Highly Significant Concept &..........
“LIFE DOESN'T COME WITH AN INSTRUCTION BOOK. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A FATHER"
"FATHER"...............Is a highly significant concept..............
Something Reality ,interesting and may add up to your
creative thinking.............
Seek the Blessings of your Father or Father's Father and Resolve your Problems Miraculously
Father's Day is not simply about taking your father to dinner or sending flowers with a cute greetings note. FATHER IS A HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT CONCEPT. He stands for the person/Personality who caused your birth and the mother co-created you and carried you. The cause of course goes to the Father's sperm. The yogi of India goes beyond the sperm. They go to the soul.
Of your father and your father's father and his father and so on. In other words you are a representative of your father's family tree. Whether you accept or not,this is the truth. Like the biological genes there are genes from the soul. It is important to understand the metaphysics of the soul lineage and the dynamics that goes with it.
When a soul leaves the body, it still lives in the astral plane invisible to naked eyes. It still visits the earth plane to take care of or sometimes to harm its own children. A person's well-being is dependent on his/her relationship with the ancestors who have passed on and moved into the astral plane but yet keep visiting him constantly. The secret of success or failure is dependent on this metaphysical reality.
In one word the final message is, make sure to receive the blessings of your father, grandfather or great grandfather during the Father's Day. It really means a lot. If your father is alive, spend some time with him and be nice to him even though it may be difficult in some cases. If you think it is really difficult to do anything with your father at least help him indirectly offering Tarpanam to your father's father or the great - great grandfather. Every emotion and thought you go through is greatly influenced by your soul lineage...................AND YOU HAVE GOT TO BELIEVE IT.

Warren Buffet & his .......................
Warren Buffet and his 5 BHK home.......................
Quick-quiz. Match the place of residence given below to the following men.
World's Richest Man Carlos Slim
World's Second Richest man Bill Gates
World's Third richest man Warren Buffet
World's Fourth richest man Bernard Arnault
Where do they stay?
World's Largest House
World's 2nd largest house
World's 3rd largest house
World's 4th largest house
Answer: None of the answers given above matches the place of residence of the men given above. Isn't that so odd? The richest men not living in the biggest houses. Then, what is the use of having so much money?
The shocker: The 3rd Richest man in the world stays in a five bedroom house brought in 1958 and that today is valued at around USD 700,000 (although this works out to Rs 3.5 crore if we take the current exchange rates, it is only around a crore in PPP terms). Today almost 10% of Indians would be having a house in excess of Rs 1 Crore.
So does that mean that Warren Buffet is a miser? With over $50 Billion in wealth, he still stays in a 53-year-old house that too with "just" five bedrooms. He surely must be bluffing about his wealth, because, we know for sure he is not bluffing about the house! Or is he? Well not at all. His known public wealth is 50 billion dollars and growing.
So why does the world's third richest man stay in such a small house?
No, Warren Buffet is not stingy or miserly by any means; not anyone who donates 30 Billion to charity can be one. Rather, he has mastered the art of creating wealth.
Wealth is not created just by investing, but, also by avoiding unnecessary expenses. It's not called stingy, rather, it's called Frugality. This frugality has helped him grow his wealth year on year.
His logic is simple: An extra ten rooms in the house is not going to create any major difference to him. However, the same money if invested rightly (of which he is a master) can be made to grow to probably ten times the same amount.
Yes, it is not easy for all of us to be like him. Others might say that he can "afford" to be frugal because he already has so much wealth and does not need to worry about anything else. True, but he has stayed the same way even when he was poor!
If Warren Buffett can do it on such a large scale, we can at least do it on a smaller scale. The secret lies in falling in love: In love with growing wealth. If you can fall in love with the happiness that one gets by seeing his wealth grow, you will automatically start repelling the evil twin: spending.
Initially it may be very difficult and you may not even be able to follow. But, once you get accustomed to it. you realize that the pain of sacrificing current consumption is much smaller as compared to the thrill of creating long term wealth. The 20,000 Rupees saved by going for a simple phone (rather than a gold studded one) can in the coming years grow into Rs 200000/- and give you the power to be a giver.
The fundamental is to make sure we give priority to the needs and minimize the wants...................................... Happy frugality.

Bill gates though of "Art of Living" A Loving Read.....
Mr. Bill Gates showed to the entire World, How technology can help shape up lives and many Brahmins in IT fields owe it to him for their successes.
His thoughts are REAL ART OF LIVING tips!
~ Bill Gates ~
This should be posted in every school / kid's bedroom.
Love him or hate him , he surely hits the nail on the head with this!
Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about eleven (11) things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world doesn't care about your self-esteem.The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school.You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity.
Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping:They called it opportunity.
Rule 6 : If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault,so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7 : Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills,cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room..
Rule 8 : Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer.*This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9 : Life is not divided into semesters.You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF.*Do that on your own time.
Rule 10 : Television is NOT real life.In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11 : Be nice to nerds.Chances are you'll end up working for one..
If you can read this... Thank a Teacher.
If you can read this in English... Thank a Soldier!
And for life and everything else you have... Thank God!!
Now... think about this and smile if you agree and please pass this on to.......
all your near and dear ones.

Lord Dakshinamoorthy............
Lord Dakshinamurthi........The Universal Guru
Sloka on Lord Dakshinamoorthy .........................
"Gurave Sarva Lokaanaam
Bhishaje Bhava Roginaam
Nidhaye Sarva Vidyaanaam
Dakshina Moorthaye Namaha"
Meaning: ...................
I salute God Dakshina Moorthy (Shiva in Guru form) who is the Guru of all the worlds, the One who cures the disease of worldly existence and who is wealth of all knowledge. .........................................AND
In Hindu tradition, a particular name and form to this aspect of Ishwara as a bestower of Jnana, the Ultimate Guru,is given as Lord Dakshinamurti.
The symbolism associated with His name and form is well-known as follows:
The entire manifest Universe is represented in His form in a eightfold aspect (yasyaiva murthy ashtakam).............................
The body or idol itself represents Prthvi or earth.
He has a different earring on each ear representing both the male and female aspects.The Ganges on his head represents water.The damaru in one hand represents space or akasha.The headband bandhana that ties the hair reveals the presence of vayu or wind. The flame in one hand represents of course fire or agni.
On the head is the Sun one one side representing all the luminous bodies, on the other the crescent moon representing all the planets and satellites.
The four disciples represent Sanaka and other jivas who first receive the teaching.
The vedas on one hand represent the shruti, the pramana, the means of knowledge, and the japamala represents the sadhana for attaining the right preparedness of mind and intellect without which the knowledge cannot take place.
Obstacles (apasmara) to this knowledge (raga,ddvesha,kama,krodha) represent the figure under his foot whom he (effortlesslly) vanquishes.

Think about the most self-confident people you know.
What is it that makes them that way?

Difficulties..................
Difficulties..................
Difficult challenges can come into your life when you least expect them,and when you can ill afford them. Yet there they are, bullying their way into your world.If you try to ignore them or deny them, they just get bigger and more problematic.
The more you let them worry you and get you down, the more helpless they make you.A life full of challenge is often stressful and uncomfortable, but it is vastly better than the alternative, which is a life full of nothing. Your own particular challenges may seem extremely unfair, and they probably are. But that doesn't make them any less real, nor does it make you any less obligated to confront and endure them.
Accept the challenges when they appear, and you're well on the way to overcoming them. Though they bring disruption and pain, they also bring growth and power. Sometimes what is best for us, is not what we would choose.
Life is difficult and in it we find unimaginable joy. Accept it all and live it for all it's worth.

Intellectual Mantra..............
" Intellectual MANTRA "................
In a Restaurant, suddenly a cockroach flew from somewhere and sat on a lady standing a little away from the table.
She started screaming out of fear. With panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group got cranky to what was happening. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach to another lady in the group.
Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue.
In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.
The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behaviour of the cockroach on his shirt.
When he was confident enough, he grabbed and threw it out with his fingers.
Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering:
- Was the cockroach responsible for the ladies' histrionic behaviour?
- If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection - without any chaos or drama.
- So, it was not the cockroach, but the inability of the ladies to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them.
Please also realize , it is not the shouting of your father or scolding of your boss that disturbs you, but it's your own inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturb you.
Similarly, it's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs one, but one's inability to handle the disturbance caused in mind by the traffic jam that disturbs.
More than the problem, it's our own reaction to the problem that hurts us!
The Take-Away......................
- The women reacted but the waiter responded.
- We need not react in life; we need always respond.
- Reactions are instinctive; responses are intellectual.
If you Judge people, you have no time to love them.

Secret of Success.................
To consult your conscience..................

NO POINTING FINGERS..........
A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a
successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for
her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind
that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a
better husband than you."
We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are
afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he
would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is
the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one
finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves.
If we forgive the others, others will ignore our mistake too.
CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?..........
A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and
requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a
suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh,
good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in
singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home
during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest."
The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need a
television."
There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a
blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the
faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of
the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and
dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the
excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage
is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.
NO OVERPOWERING................
Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower
another,or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love
will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after
marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying
which carries the meaning that........................
"It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character."
It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing
the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.
It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations.
RIGHT SPEECH.................
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that
"A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation."
Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other,we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.
A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site.
A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted,"Hi, Emily! Remember
me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her
millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me.Otherwise you
will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered ,"You should
appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire
and not you."
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.
PERSONAL PERCEPTION................
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be
another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the
way home,a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on
the donkey?"Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the
donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and
commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride
on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife
quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can
the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman."
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey.
Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you
hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing
that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey
and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the
donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell
into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will
everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never
will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..
BE PATIENT...............
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of
his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his
three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of
the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the
little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed
down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he
finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When
the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he
innocently said, " Daddy,I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked,
"but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father just couldn't reply
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or you
wish to take revenge. Think first before you lose your patience with
someone you love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings
often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between
the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater
than revenge.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions
we take while in a rage will haunt us forever...................JK

Reality of Brahmins.......
Reality of Brahmins............
Brahmins are people with high IQ.
People with high IQ normally prosper in any given society. For example Jews in USA or Marwaris in India.
The fact that even achiever Brahmins are not spared of harm by others BECAUSE of their caste shows that their IQ is lower.
Brahmins achieved extraordinary success owing to discipline and sacrifice.
These two traits too are gradually getting lost..........Therefore
Brahmins, UNITE and fight for Protecting your caste and heritage and cultural traits.
Brahmins are Aryans and are physically stronger to defend themselves.
Most if not all Brahmins today have descended from Aryans mixed with local population. For example, a Bengali Brahmin will look more like a Bengali, while a Tamil Brahmin will look more like a Tamil.
While an Average Brahmin due to healthier lifestyle is stronger, there are saintly values in the blood of every brahmin man and woman no matter how evil they may pretend to be.
It is the Gothra, Culture and Heritage ( besides Boons of being descendants of Sages, no matter the current level of degradation) that distinguishes Brahmins.
Brahmins, Unite by forgetting your Mother Tongue, Guru, Family God, Financial and other differences to ACHIEVE equal status and emancipation in India and elsewhere. Fight and Remove hostile differences.
Brahmins are selfless saints ready to sacrifice the worldly pleasures for an immortal life.
Brahmins are as human as the rest of the society.
Just because they descended from Sages does not mean that they have to forsake worldly pleasures in this modern life.
Brahmins do not get brainwashed by the need to be Saintly.
Brahmins are the only society that avoids sex stimulating food and habits.
Please do not follow such irrational acts which could spoil your or your progeny's family life causing disintegration of brahmin caste itself.
Enjoy worldly pleasures within a self fixed moral bounds. Never say NO to worldly pleasures. Enjoy life, it is bestowed upon us by God.
You can be Humane in approach to your fellow brahmins because they too are descendants from saints.
Bhagwan Krishna in " Bhagavt Gita" says that if a Cow ( which is the holiest) attacks you, You can kill it in self defence since the " Life" is given by God and is the most precious and you must preserve it at all costs.
So defend yourself and your family, your property. your caste and acharya and your temple and your sacred practices. It is expected of YOU.
Are Brahmins Cowards?
The absolute truth is that a Brahmin of today's world is selfish and not such a coward. This trait has been inculcated in order to survive in this hostile world.
To cite examples, some very rich brahmins " disinheriting" their own sons or daughters just due to ego and selfishness. Some brahmin elders who eat " humble pie" with their non brahmin tormentor neighbours, will HIT their wives/ daughters/ sisters acting like HARD CORE MALE CHAUVINIST.
Brahmins please give up a " little of your selfishness" to fight for our collective survival. This fight can be through Democratic process like fasting, public events to attract the media attention to any anti-brahmin measures by Political, Media or other adversary.
Be active in your profession and participation for our common welfare. Act through collective process in groups. Lend your voice/ Vote / Participate in Group activities and support fellow brahmins.
BRAHMINS !ACHIEVE REAL INDEPENDENCE AT LEAST FROM NOW ONWARDS.
