Why is Lord GANESHA invoked before the start of every business venture.......

Om gam ganapataye namah!  Ganesh Chaturthi or Vinayak Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh one of the most awaited festival among the Hindu community.

It is the day of celebration, joy, prosperity, love and wealth. Lord Ganesh is worshiped in many forms and names like Gajanana meaning Elephant-faced lord, Avaneesh-lord of the whole world, Lambodhar-the big belly lord, Vinayaka-lord of everything and the list goes on. Every Hindu worships him in a unique way

Ganesh Chaturthi is a 10-day festival with each day made special beginning at the day of Bhadrapada Shudha Chaturthi till the day of Anantha Chaturdashi. As the festival nears the first purchase which everyone make purchasing the Ganesh idol of their choice. From small to giant Ganesh idols are made with utmost care and devotion and sold every year.

Though the festival is for a span of ten days but the actual celebration begins from the day the Ganesh idols are made. Small idols are sculptd for homes and huge idols are kept in pandals on the streets. Usually collecting small funds from the residents for a beautiful idol to be placed in the street.

Ganesh utsav is a ten days long celebration. People gear up for the festivity way ahead by cleaning their houses, decorating the interiors and preparing sweets. Friends and families are invited for the auspicious day for prayers and feasts. Purchasing Ganesha idol is the first and foremost things to be done.

The money spent for purchases and celebrations are considered as holy expenses. It is necessary to buy fruits, flowers, Incense Sticks as part of festivity.

Ganesha idol will be big demand as the days near the function. The idol should be ordered ten days ahead. Idols makers should ideally make Ganesha by handwork rather than a mould. As per the ancient scriptures, Ganesha was made out of grime.

Following those lines, idol should be made by handwork using clay or mud. The size of idol should be reasonable for ritual activities and should not be very huge. The idol must be made in a sitting position than standing for as mentioned in ancients texts.

Ganesh idol can be made in customized form. Devotees will be happy to place an idol of their lovable variant and pray in front of it with an auspicious heart. The idol makers reserve idols in advance and are collected on a pre-decided day.

Ganesha idols are made out of clay or mud. This is the best method to make the idol as the clay or mud will get dissolved as the idol is immersed in a water body at the end of ten-day grand celebrations. In recent past, patrons are making idols out of plaster of Paris, however administrative authorities do not allow this.

Plaster of Paris will not get dissolved and the idol remains floating in the water after immersion. Authorities have to dispose them manually which is an embarrassment to the devotees and can be considered as disrespect to the most celebrated God in India. The devotees are requested to make idol out of clay for environmental reasons too.

Lord Ganesha Invoked Before the Start Of Every Business

Lord Ganesha is considered one of the most beloved gods in Indian culture and religion. Considered the son of Goddess Parvati and Lord Shiva, Ganesha, the elephant-headed god is worshipped by one and all. Ganesha is widely revered as one who removes all obstacles and hindrances and is honored at the start of all rituals and ceremonies.

He is honored at the beginning of sacraments and rites and summoned as Patron of Letters during writing sessions. There are many texts that relate to mythological anecdotes that are related to his birth and exploits and explain his distinct iconography. In Hindu religion, Lord Ganesha’s siddhi mantras a considered extremely powerful which can be used in prayers to attain success, knowledge and fulfillment of wishes and desires. His mantras are said to be repeated in multiples of 108 and chanted using a rudraksha with utmost devotion concentrating on the meaning of the mantra and visualizing Lord Ganesha.

It is commonly believed that Lord Ganesha brings lot of luck and hence he is always worshiped and remembered when one begins a new business or venture. It is said that if one always keeps his rudraksha with him, he is spared of all ills and evils. His beads are associated with wisdom, learning, prudence and power.

The beads enhance luck and gives perfection in every sphere of life. Those facing obstacles and hindrances in life are often advised to wear the beads as a mark of good luck. At many places, devotees pay respects to Lord Ganesha where he is honored with sweets and fruits when business are doing good. As lord of business and diplomacy, he sits on a high pedestal where people offer him flowers and incense.

He is also a well-known figure in Indian art. Lord Ganesha is represented in wide variations and patterns over time. He is portrayed as dancing, singing, elevated on a seat, lying down, playing music, and engaged in many situations.

At many places, Maha Ganpati Homa is recommended to remove obstacles and bring luck in life. It is usually performed during auspicious beginnings like commencing a business, improving family bondage, overcome a disease, achieving planned objectives, performing success in work, education, marriage, health, wealth and attaining prosperity in various aspects of life. Lord Ganesha is considered the lord of obstacles both of material and spiritual order. Many historians believe that its his task in the divine scheme of things, to place and remove obstacles. It is his particular territory and the reason for his creation.

Hinduism has had an impact on millions of people and religions across the world. Many countries in South Asia are a result of commercial and cultural contacts have adopted Hindu religious activities with open arms. Hence, spread of Hindu religion has been rapid and especially Lord Ganesha is the most loved and worshiped deity there.

HINDUS GOTRA SYSTEM: SCIENTIFIC MEANING OF GOTRA iN the VEDAS

Hindus Gotra System: Scientific Meaning of Gotra in the Vedas......................

A MUST READ WITH EMPHASIS ON LAST PARAGRAPH.

In Hindu society, the term gotra means clan. It broadly refers to people who are descendants in an unbroken male line from a common male ancestor. However, all families having same gotra need not be cousins. They can be descendants of sons or disciples or even adopted sons of the Rishi(Seer), who is the root and whose name is used as Gotra. For example if a person says that he belongs to the Kutsa Gotra then it means that he traces back his male ancestry to the ancient Rishi (Saint or Seer) Kutsa.

Gotra means cowshed (Go=Cow, tra=shed) in Sanskrit. Paini defines gotra for grammatical purposes as apatyam pautraprabhrti gotram (IV. 1. 162), which means the word gotra denotes the progeny (of a sage) beginning with the son’s son. This system was started among Brahmins, with a purpose to classify and identify the families in the community.

Hindu Brahmins identify their male lineage by considering themselves to be the descendants of the 8 great Rishis i.e Saptarishis (The Seven Sacred Saints) + Bharadwaja Rishi. So the list of root Brahmin Gotras is as follows :

. Angirasa
. Atri
. Gautam
. Kashyapa
. Bhrigu
. Vasistha
. Kutsa
. Bharadwaja

The offspring (apatya) of these eight are gotras and others than these are called a gotravayava. These eight sages are called gotrakarins from whom all the 49 gotras (especially of the Brahmins) have evolved.

For instance, from Atri sprang the Atreya and Gavisthiras gotras.In almost all Hindu families, marriage within the same gotra is prohibited, since people with same gotra are considered to be siblings.

But the hidden reason behind this practice is the ‘Y’ Chromosome which is expected to be common among all male in same gotra. So, the woman too carries similar ‘X’ Chromosome and if married, their offspring may be born with birth defects. Few families even maintain their Pravara which is a list of all seers through which their Gotra was derived.

It connects to the root Seer. Gotra is always passed on from father to children among most Hindus, just like last name(surname) is passed on worldwide. However, among Malayalis and Tulu’s its passed on from mother to children.

Additional rule in the Gotra system is that, even if the Bride and Bridegroom belong to different Gotras, they still cannot get married even if just one of their Gotra Pravara matches. Now, why only male carries fixed lastname and gotra and why female can change her last name, gotra after marriage?

Genes and Chromosomes Among Humans

Humans have 23 pairs of Chromosomes and in each pair one Chromosome comes from the father and the other comes from the mother. So in all we have 46 Chromosomes in every cell, of which 23 come from the mother and 23 from the father.

Of these 23 pairs, there is one pair called the Sex Chromosomes which decide the gender of the person. During conception, if the resultant cell has XX sex chromosomes then the child will be a girl and if it is XY then the child will be a boy. X chromosome decides the female attributes of a person and Y Chromosome decides the male attributes of a person.

When the initial embryonic cell has XY chromosome, the female attributes get suppressed by the genes in the Y Chromosome and the embryo develops into a male child. Since only men have Y Chromosomes, son always gets his Y Chromosome from his father and the X Chromosome from his mother. On the other hand daughters always get their X Chromosomes, one each from both father and mother.

So the Y Chromosome is always preserved throughout a male lineage (Father , Son , Grandson etc.) because a Son always gets it from his father, while the X Chromosome is not preserved in the female lineage (Mother, Daughter, Grand Daughter etc) because it comes from both father and mother.

A mother will pass either her mother’s X Chromosome to her Children or her father’s X Chromosome to her children or a combination of both because of both her X Chromosomes getting mixed (called as Crossover).

On the other hand, a Son always gets his father’s Y Chromosome and that too almost intact without any changes because there is no corresponding another Y chromosome in his cells to do any mixing as his combination is XY, while that of females is XX which hence allows for mixing as both are X Chromosomes.

Women never get this Y Chromosome in their body. And hence Y Chromosome plays a crucial role in modern genetics in identifying the Genealogy ie male ancestry of a person. And the Gotra system was designed to track down the root Y Chromosome of a person quite easily. If a person belongs to Angirasa Gotra then it means that his Y Chromosome came all the way down over thousands of years of timespan from the Rishi Angirasa!

And if a person belongs to a Gotra (say Bharadwaja) with Pravaras (Angirasa, Bhaarhaspatya, Bharadwaja), then it means that the person’s Y Chromosome came all the way down from Angirasa to Bhaarhaspatya to Bharadwaja to the person.

This also makes it clear why females are said to belong to the Gotra of their husbands after marriage. That is because women do not carry Y Chromosome, and their Sons will carry the Y Chromosome of the Father and hence the Gotra of a woman is said to be that of her husband after marriage.

Y is the only Chromosome which does not have a similar pair in the human body. The pair of the Y Chromosome in humans is X Chromosome which is significantly different from Y Chromosome. Even the size of the Y Chromosome is just about one third the size of the X Chromosome. In other words throughout evolution the size of the Y Chromosome has been decreasing and it has lost most of its genes and has been reduced to its current size.

Scientists are debating whether Y Chromosome will be able to survive for more than a few million years into the future or whether it will gradually vanish, and if it does so whether it will cause males to become extinct! Obviously because Y Chromosome is the one which makes a person male or a man.

Y Chromosome has to depend on itself to repair any of its injuries and for that it has created duplicate copies of its genes within itself. However this does not stop DNA damages in Y Chromosome which escape its local repair process from being propagated into the offspring males.

This causes Y Chromosomes to accumulate more and more defects over a prolonged period of evolution and scientists believe that this is what is causing the Y Chromosome to keep losing its weight continuously.

Y Chromosome which is crucial for the creation and evolution of males has a fundamental weakness which is denying it participation in the normal process of evolution via Chromosomal mix and match to create better versions in every successive generation, and this weakness MAY lead to the extinction of Y Chromosome altogether over the next few million years, and if that happens scientists are not sure whether that would cause males to become extinct or not.

And that is because Scientists are not sure whether any other Chromosome in the 23 pairs will be able to take over the role of the Y Chromosome or not.

On the other hand, it is not necessary that humanity will not be able to survive if males become extinct. Note that females do not need the Y Chromosome, and since all females have X Chromosomes, it would be still possible to create a mechanism where X Chromosomes from different females are used to create offspring, say like injecting the nuclei from the egg of one female into the egg of another female to fertilize it and that would grow into a girl child. So yes, that would be a humanity where only females exist.

Even modern scientists have concluded that children born to parents having blood relation (like cousins) can have birth defects. For example, there is a recessive dangerous gene in one person.

What this means is that say a person is carrying a dangerous abnormality causing gene in one of his chromosome, but whose effect has been hidden in that person (or is not being expressed) because the corresponding gene in the pairing Chromosome is stronger and hence is preventing this abnormality causing gene from activating.

Now there are fair chances that his off springs will be carriers of these genes throughout successive generations. As long as they keep marrying outside his genetic imprint, there is a fair chance that the defective gene will remain inactive since others outside this person's lineage most probably do not have that defective gene.

Now if after 5-10 generations down the line say one of his descendants marries some other descendant who may be really far away cousins. But then there is a possibility that both of them are still carrying the defective gene, and in that case their children will definitely have the defective gene express itself and cause the genetic abnormality in them as both the Chromosomes in the pair have the defective genes.

Hence, the marriages between cousins always have a chance of causing an otherwise recessive, defective genes to express themselves resulting in children with genetic abnormalities.

So, Ancient Vedic Rishis created the Gotra system where they barred marriage between a boy and a girl belonging to the same Gotra no matter how deep the lineage tree was, in a bid to prevent inbreeding and completely eliminate all recessive defective genes from the human DNA.

My New Year message in the form of................... Corporate advise to CEOs & Managers @ All levels.

My New Year message in the form of...................

Corporate advise to CEOs & Managers @ All levels.

Good Morning and wishing All CEOs and Managers @ all levels, an innovative,result oriented  and profitable 2016.

A TRUE CEO/Manager First of all should know how to prevent FAILURES...............Then learn and understand the art and science of......... how to Manage failures, if and when occurs........and thereby eliminate their customer dissatisfaction.....as the good old belief establishes that a dissatisfied customer will  continue to remain  as a bad symptom and sign  in the records of your company, while a satisfied will remain as good symptom and sign  and the former invariably happens as a result of your Company's FAILURES due to poor performance leading to poor results.

Failure is a strong word. Few corporate  CEOs/Managers would readily and really admit that their innovation programs have not been successful. An honest assessment, however, would reveal that in many companies, innovation succeeds only on sporadic occasions. In too many cases, innovation is nothing more than a management buzzword or slogan.........and no results are ever achieved.

It does no good to crib about the lack of results from corporate innovation concepts. It makes much more sense to study the causes of failure and how to overcome failure by initiating  corrective action.

There are only three basic reasons why corporate innovation fails......................... Not enough commitment and not enough use of best and ethical practices.......and  lack of adequate financial resources.

The Causes of Corporate Innovation Failure..........

Managed innovation is designed to arrive at effective solutions as quickly and inexpensively as possible. At the same time, managed innovation is not free of cost, and it does take time. When management does not invest enough resources to innovation, results will suffer......and ultimately FAIL.

Resources come in two forms, human and financial. Human resources are by far the most important. Employees must be assigned to innovate and then given the time to complete the task. Failure occurs when CEOs/ managers refuse to realise and to release their employees to work on innovation....and Financial resources as already mentioned earlier is, Company management's  responsibility  to invest.

Funding during a First-class innovation initiative may be required for effective customer services, as the customers pay for it and in many a cases well in advance as per company's corporate policy, as this comes to the corporate, free of interest . Say for a practical instance, CEOs/Managers, who were reluctant to spend Rs.50,000 to find  a solution that had the potential to produce 20 crores in revenue............... The company saved Rs.50,000, but it had no other solution in hand with the potential to generate that much revenue.

Best,ethical and transparent practices are also very essential  for innovation success while dealing with its customers. Follow the  these  guiding principles  for each of the four steps in the process: 1. Discover. 2. Invent.3.Invest 4.Refine.

Tension or frustration may sometimes occurs between the new methods corporate company's introduce and the old ways of doing business. For instance, one team did fantastic work on the first two steps under proper guidance. They identified an unfulfilled need of its customers and invented a solution to meet and fulfill the need....but lacked in adequate investment from Management.

However, during the Refinement step, they decided not to use the principle that should have been used , and they went forward based on their existing idea development process. After more than a considerable period of time being wasted, they still had not refined the new innovative concept to the point where they could make it.

And CEOs/Managers to bear in mind at all times while engaged in customer service the following two mantras(watch words) to be successful and to satisfy customers at least to certain extend and thereby increase their market share..........& to create enduring value

1. We don't think to breathe.................We breath to think.

2. We can't spell "S(U)CCESS with out "U" ........OUR ESTEEMED customers.

GOD BLESS  "YOU ALL" My Dear...........CEOs & Managers.......and enjoy a successful and profitable YEARS HEAD.

THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS.......................

The Beauty of Mathematics

Most of us hate maths. But to some people, it sings a whole world of meaning, and this is precisely what the below mathematical reasoning show. When you see them, you'll to understand better why some people really love it... 

The Great Truth....................The Powerful "GAYATHRI MANTHRA".......

The Great Truth....................The Powerful "GAYATHRI MANTHRA"....... This may be of very great interesting information worth circulating to one and all!!! Rest depends on us how we react!!!   Dr.Howard Steingeril, an american scientist, collected Mantras, Hymns and invocations from all over the world and tested their strength in his Physiology Laboratory.. Hindus' Gayathri Mantra produced 110,000 sound waves per second.. This was the highest and was found to be the most powerful hymn in the world. Though the combination of sound or sound waves of a particular frequency, the Mantra is claimed capable of developing specific  spiritual potentialities. The Hamburg university initiated research into the efficacy of the Gayathri Mantra both on the mental and physical plane of CREATION... The GAYATHRI MANTRA is broadcast daily for 15 minutes from 7 P.M. onwards over Radio Paramaribo, Surinam, South America for the past two years, and in Amsterdam, Holland for the last six months..... ...............&............One has got to believe this..................JK

Taking Charge Of Your Responses In Close Relationships

Taking Charge Of Your Responses In Close Relationships

In relationships with your loved ones, when looking at the other, sometimes positive emotions are generated and sometimes negative. On the one hand, joy, love and happiness is generated on being with them; but then attachment, dependency and expectations are generated.  

 

In such situations, you are more focused on others and are always looking at the other person's behavior, you stop seeing yourself and being aware of your reactions and taking the responsibility for the responses that you create.  

 

You get frustrated when the other person does not meet your expectations. As you depend on them, if they don't act as you would like, if they don't reach home or call you at the time you would like; all this frustrates you. You radiate this energy to the other: "they are not doing what they should be doing," and so you feel frustrated and discontented.

All the while that you hold the other one responsible for your frustration, you are not in charge of your own reactions, because you have given power to the other to dominate your emotional world. It is there that you lose your freedom.   You lose your freedom because you give to the other, in the name of love, power over your own moods.   You allow the others' energy to enter your inner world and cause inside you   frustration, bad moods, irritation, sorrow and a mental and emotional dependence   where you are constantly thinking about where they are, what they have to do, what they have to say, where they have to go, and all this consumes a lot of your mental energy. Wanting to control the other and the frustration that it brings with it uses up a lot of emotional energy..............THEREFORE.............................................

 

Never try to control other’s life e.g. some parents try to control their kids (life) even after their marriage and thus create lot of confusions. Instead of trying to change everyone, let us change ourselves to live a Happy Life as also allowing others.

Hinduism - A religion or philosophy?.....................

Hinduism - A religion or philosophy?
HINDU WISDOM

The beauty of being a Hindu lies in your freedom to be who you want to be. Nobody can tell you what to do, or what not to do. There is no central authority, no single leader of the faith. No one can pass an order to excommunicate you, or like in some countries, pass a decree that orders your death by stoning for walking with a strange man.

We don't appreciate our freedom because we can't feel the plight of others who aren't free. Many religions have a central authority with awesome power over the individual. They have a clear chain of command, from the lowliest local priest to the highest central leader. Hinduism somehow escaped from such central authority, and the Hindu has miraculously managed to hold on to his freedom through the ages. How did this happen?

Vedanta is the answer. When the writers of Vedanta emerged, around 1500 BC, they faced an organised religion of orthodox Hinduism. This was the post Vedic age, where ritualism was practiced, and the masses had no choice but to follow. It was a coercive atmosphere.

The writers of Vedanta rebelled against this authority and moved away from society into forests. This was how the 'Aranyakas' were written, literally meaning 'writings from the forest'. These later paved the way for the Upanishads, and Vedanta eventually caught the imagination of the masses. It emerged triumphant, bearing with it the clear voice of personal freedom.

This democracy of religious thought, so intrinsic to Vedantic intelligence, sank into the mindset of every Indian. Most couldn't fathom the deep wisdom it contained, but this much was very clear. They understood that faith was an expression of personal freedom, and one could believe at will. That's why Hinduism saw an explosion of Gods. There was a God for every need and every creed. If you wanted to build your muscles, you worshiped a God with fabulous muscles. If you wanted to pursue education, there was a Goddess of Learning. If it was wealth you were looking for, then you looked up to the Goddess of wealth — with gold coins coming out of her hands. If you wanted to live happily as a family, you worshiped Gods who specially blessed families. When you grew old and faced oncoming death, you spent time in contemplating a God whose business it was to dissolve everything — from an individual to the entire Universe.

Everywhere, divinity appeared in the manner and form you wanted it to appear, and when its use was over, you quietly discarded that form of divinity and looked at new forms of the divine that was currently of use to you. 'Yad Bhavam, tad Bhavati'… what you choose to believe becomes your personal truth, and freedom to believe is always more important than belief itself.

Behind all this — was the silent Vedantic wisdom that Gods are but figments of human imagination. As the Kena Upanishad says, "Brahma ha devebhyo vijigye…" — All Gods are mere subjects of the Self. It implies that it is far better that God serves Man than Men serve God. Because Men never really serve God — they only obey the dictates of a religious head who speaks for that God, who can turn them into slaves in God's name.

Hindus have therefore never tried to convert anyone. Never waged war in the name of religion. The average Hindu happily makes Gods serve him as per his needs. He discards Gods when he has no use for them. And new Gods emerge all the time — in response to market needs. In this tumult, no central authority could survive. No single prophet could emerge and hold sway, no chain of command could be established.

Vedanta had injected an organised chaos into Hinduism, and that's the way it has been from the last thirty five centuries. Vedanta is also responsible, by default, for sustaining democracy. When the British left India, it was assumed that the nation would soon break up. Nothing of that kind has happened. The pundits of doom forgot that the Indian had been used to religious freedom from thousands of years. When he got political freedom, he grabbed it naturally. After all, when you can discard Gods why can't you discard leaders? Leaders like Gods are completely expendable to the Indian mindset. They are tolerated as long as they serve the people, and are replaced when needs change. It's the triumph of people over their leaders, and in this tumult, no dictator can ever take over and rule us.Strange how the thoughts of a few men living in forests, thirty five centuries ago, can echo inside the heart of every Indian. That's a tribute to the resurgent power of India, and the fearlessness of its free thinking people.

The Four Principles of Life...

The Four Principles of Life.....................

It is not important whether you believe in spirituality or not, the four principles of spirituality apply to all from the moment one is born and will remain there till the end!.........&.........Four principles of spirituality.......................

The First Principle states:........................

"Whomsoever you encounter is the right one"

This means that no one comes into our life by chance. Everyone who is around us, anyone with whom we interact, represents something, whether to teach us something or to help us improve a current situation.

The Second Principle states:

"Whatever happened is the only thing that could have happened"

Nothing, absolutely nothing of that which we experienced could have been any other way. Not even in the least important detail. There is no "If only I had done that differently, then it would have been different". No. What happened is the only thing that could have taken place and must have taken place for us to learn our lesson in order to move forward. Every single situation in life which we encounter is absolutely perfect, even when it defies our understanding and our ego.

The Third Principle states:

"Each moment in which something begins is the right moment"

Everything begins at exactly the right moment, neither earlier nor later. When we are ready for it, for that something new in our life, it is there, ready to begin.

The Fourth Principle states:

"What is over, is over"

It is that simple. When something in our life ends, it helps our evolution. That is why, enriched by the recent experience, it is better to let go and move on. Think it is no coincidence that you're here reading this. If these words strike a chord, it's because you meet the requirements and understand that not one single snowflake falls accidentally in the wrong place!........................&;..........................

Don't think too much about problems in life....They are just test papers given by God to see how much you learnt in His subject called "LIFE".
