Good words of ravishankar
The world is running in search of happiness. The body gets baked, the mind gets baked, the intellect gets deluded but still we keep on getting stuck in the same repetitive cycle. When you meet Guru, you come to know that you are the source of happiness. Then the mind calms down, and you realize that you are the one in whose search you kept on running here and there.

Good words of ravi shankar
One with deluded intellect supports even his wrong actions. Know that the one who does a mistake and supports it is lacking in maturity of intellect. But some people do repentance with guilt. That also doesn’t solve the purpose. That is why Master/Disciple tradition exists. Master would guide the disciple to do something to be free from the guilt. Or if you simply tell the Master that some mistake has happened through you, then also you come out of the guilt. Even if you tell this to yourself in your mind that you have done some mistake, the mind calms down. Why does a mistake happen? Because of ignorance. When you have lighted the lamp of this knowledge inside you, you become free in the present.

train journey- an experience - intro into corruption.
Hi friends,
Last week i was travelling from hyderabad to mumbai after doing some personal work at hyderabad. The train as usual was full. It is not clear as who is having proper tickets as most of them occupied seats and few sleeping on the upper berth in the afternoon itself. I had my seat towards the window, the single seat. After the train crossed vikarabad, i had a sip of tea(masala tea between vikarabad and thandur is too good).After sometime the TTE has come to examine the tickets. The drama unfolded with people giving money to get a seat and TTE saying there are no seats but still adjusting few of them by taking money. One question that comes here is what is driving corruption. The TTE could have gone by the list and alloted then there is no corruption. The person who is not having a seat could have gone into general bogie and taken his seat. The problem is govt is creating this corruption. Why cant there be 6 general bogies in a train atleast which used to be at one point of time. Why cant tatkal seats be reduced so that people get confirmed seats at time of booking itself so that TTE cannot do this mischief. The truth is govt wants it and on other side talks about reducing corruption. We in india dont want to address problem but want to find alternate means to cover problem. As long as this mentality exists nothing can change.

ravishankar good words
Trust in yourself. Have faith in your choice of actions and the path you would be following. If you don’t trust yourself, how can you trust the Master? It is enough to have faith in your self. A Master or a Guru does not remove the doubt, but He creates more doubt. The more you burn in the fire of doubt, the stronger you come out to be. Truth is never afraid of doubt, and truth can never hide.
Ravishankar good words
Thoughts are energy, have power. When you are confused, your words don’t have an impact. The clearer you are in your mind, the more power your words get. If you are in confusion, the power of words is very feeble. Pranayam, meditation makes the mind clear. So the thoughts that come out of it are straight and clear. One who is content, their words have power
ravi shankar good words
Prana is present in everything. In fact, we are floating in air, in prana, an ocean of prana. When the unit of expression varies, it makes a difference. Stones have got one unit of prana. Water has got two units of prana. Fire has got three units of prana. Air has got four units of prana. Plants have got five units of prana. Animals have got six units of prana. Human beings are capable of holding from seven to 16 units of prana. The expression of prana is the whole universe

kashi
Hello friends,
shocked to see images from kashi. Even dont feel like writing. We are in a country which is heaven for terrorists. They get royal treatment. Ministers visit jails to findout whether everything is ok or not. Meida gets their salaries by writing sensational articles. He didnot come before camera for proceedings. Judge asks lawyer to go to jail to see whether he is ok or not. What not. Judiciary has long hands and criminals play all games between those hands. Who ever has died has died. Govt will declare some money for them which is eaten away by middle brokers. The lungi minister will say about different incidents happening around the world and will reduce this as a simple incident. Luckily or fate no ministers kith and kin get killed in such things. What is the use of writing on blog is the question which comes to me, the answer is only to atleast say what is happening is bad. may the people who lost their kith and kin god give them strength to come back.

Corruption in India.
Hello friends,
Back to you people after sometime due to some personal issues. Let me straight get into the topic. Everyday morning we open the newspaper we see some scam or other. where are we going. whom should we blame are the questions that come to our mind. can we blame judiciary. the answer is no because it is we who are electing such corrupt people. should we blame the leaders. the answer is no , because we are selling ourselves when giving votes. Will we change, answer is not clear. Good leaders like modi, nitish are very few in number. The media targets them. Media in one way is responsible as whenever elections come it start saying which caste has how many votes rather than saying what is one's qualification. One thing is sure , we as a nation have reached a stage where even god cannot help. Best is to go and settle in some country which is free from this evil.

Ravi shankar good words
Divinity permeates everything in this Earth. Puja is not complete without honoring the trees, mountains, rivers, Earth and the people living on the Earth. Honoring everyone is Dakshina. Da means to give and Dakshina means giving something that will cleanse us of all impurities. Offering with which all your sins vanish. No puja is complete without Dakshina. When we act in society with skill and free from the distortions of the mind, all negative tendencies like anger, worries, sorrow are destroyed. I will say give your tensions, worries and sorrows as Dakshina.
Whatever you do, someone will criticize you. You will be blamed if you act, and even if you don’t act. If you speak, or don’t speak. You can’t keep pleasing everyone. If your focus is on finding shortcomings, either in yourself or in others, you cannot raise higher. Recognize that if someone gives a comment, reflect on it. If there is some truth, accept it. If not, then thank them and move on.

Lesson from ANT
Sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us. Read on to find out how:
All of us tend to look up to big people for lessons on how to get better. We are keen to learn the secrets of their success. But we forget that sometimes the biggest lessons in life come from the smallest folks around us. Now that's a good lesson to remember!
Take ants for instance. Would you believe those small creatures could teach us how to live a better life? Jim Rohn -- the great motivational guru -- developed what he called the 'Ants Philosophy'.
He identified four key lessons from the behaviour of ants that can help us lead better lives. Jim Rohn is no more but his messages continue to inspire. Here then, are the four lessons from Rohn's 'Ants Philosophy'.
1. Ants never quit.
Have you noticed how ants always look for a way around an obstacle?
Put your finger in an ant's path and it will try and go around it, or over it. It will keep looking for a way out. It won't just stand there and stare. It won't give up and go back.
We should all learn to be like that. There will always be obstacles in our lives.
The challenge is to keep trying, keep looking for alternative routes to get to our goals.
Winston Churchill [ Images ] probably paraphrased the ant's mindset when he offered this priceless advice: "Never give up. Never, never give up!"
2. Ants think winter all summer.
Remember the old story of the ant and the grasshopper?
In the middle of summer, the ant was busy gathering food for the winter ahead -- while the grasshopper was out having a good time. Ants know that summer -- the good times -- won't last forever. Winters will come.
That's a good lesson to remember.
When the going is good, don't be so arrogant as to believe that a crisis or a setback cannot happen to you.
Be good to other people. Save for a rainy day.
Look ahead. And remember, good times may not last, but good people do.
3. Ants think summer all winter.
As they suffer through the unbearable cold of the winter, ants keep reminding themselves that it won't last forever, and that summer will soon be here.
And with the first rays of the summer sun, the ants come out -- ready to work and ready to play.
When we are down and seemingly out, when we go through what looks like a never-ending crisis, it's good to remind ourselves that this too shall pass.
Good times will come. It's important to retain a positive attitude, an attitude that says things will get better.
As the old saying goes, tough times don't last. Tough people do.
4. Ants do all they possibly can.
How much food does an ant gather in summer? All that it possibly can! Now that's a great work ethic to have. Do all you can!
One ant doesn't worry about how much food another ant is collecting.
It does not sit back and wonder why it should have to work so hard. Nor does it complain about the poor pay!
Ants just do their bit. They gather all the food they can.
Success and happiness are usually the result of giving 100% - doing all you possibly can.
If you look around you, you'll find that successful people are those who just do all they possibly can.
Follow the four simple steps of Jim Rohn's 'Ant Philosophy' and you'll see the difference. Don't quit. Look ahead. Stay positive. And do all you can.
And there's just one more lesson to learn from ants.
Did you know that an ant can carry objects up to 20 times their own weight?
Maybe we are like that too. We can carry burdens on our shoulders and manage workloads that are far, far heavier than we'd imagine.
Next time something's bothering you and weighing you down, and you feel you just can't carry on, don't fret.
Think of the little ant. And remember, you too can carry a lot more on your shoulders!

ravi shankar good words
"Spiritual blossoming simply means blossoming in life in all dimensions - being happy, at ease with yourself and with everybody around you."
When there is boredom, there will be frustration also; they are twins. But if they dominate your life, that is misery. And if they just come as a fleeting moment and touches you and passes away, if they are like salt in your life, it's okay. It adds taste. But if the salt is taken for a meal, you have trouble.
If you want to grow in Divine Love, you have to drop the pride and all the artificial walls that we build between ourselves and others. Through these walls, we keep judging others, and we think others are judging us.
An uncommitted mind is miserable. A committed mind may at times experience rough weather but it will reap the fruits of its toil.
The ultimate purpose of life is to be of service.
The sattvic intellect is one that just does the job joyfully and is unmindful of the results. Let things happen or not happen---either way they don't lose their enthusiasm.
Abundance is a state of mind within you. If you just look at "lack," the lack increases in life. See what you have, and then abundance increases.
"Faith is realizing that you always get what you need. Faith is a giving the Divine a chance to act."
Whatever feeling is there in you at the moment, be with it one hundred percent. Share it with the Divine.
Love is that phenomenon of dissolving, disappearing, merging, becoming one with the infinite. Love is that phenomenon of total letting go.

Good analysis On MFI
MFIs will fail because they want money from money. Money cannot be produced from money. Money is a divine tool for happiness. You have to understand what happiness is before attempting to create it.you can give happiness only when you are a source of happiness. money just happens to be a tool in the process. everything today is measured in terms of money.if you depend too much on this measuring tool you will be miserable. both the giver and taker are bound to be miserable. if both of them understand the meaning of happiness by knowing each other's problems and needs and work toward a common happiness in which both can participate as a communion of love, then money will be seen as just a handy tool to reach higher and higher levels of happiness.
To give happiness, the giver needs to be at a higher consciousness level than that of the taker and should be willing to give everything for happiness. profits are just by-products

Short vacation.
Hi friends,
Back after a short vacation. This was much needed break for me as I was under stress both professionally and personally. A good trip for me. It was good by all means. Good temples where i get peace of mind. The best thing that brought energy back into my legs is, i have won two cases in high court taking my hand close to vishnu. Years of fight and finally justice to me. There is one more small case which should get closed fast and thats it we are on to the main case. The hurdles people have put to deny justice to me will get over. . I have no words to explain the happiness it brought. I have to address lot of issues this time particularly from personal life side. I will be able to put a calender for that and go ahead on working on it. I am a fighter and will fight till end.
Stock market is down in a bad way. Good time for you to enter friends. Who are there just hold. Bad times dont last long. Everything will be ok very soon.
I will come back with priorities of 2010 diwali to 2011 diwali soon so that they become measurable.
Time to put efforts by people who have exams to give a good performance.

Force is right
I was just thinking is force a right thing. America using force on iraq or afghanisthan. Srilanka using force on LTTE. India using force on maoists etc. I feel force is sometimes the right thing to do to get things into order. Had Srilanka not used force on LTTE the burning problem would have been like that only. Negotations were not taking any where. If we look at Kashmir problem where have negotations taken us. Daily innocent civilians getting killed. Look at Assam bodo thing.
It is not only in the international and state arena, look at simple things. All of us have been through schools. Had our teachers not used canes( force) discipline might not have been there.
Dont we face force in our jobs, we call that as stress. If you dont perform you are out. If organizations dont force our KRA's the organizations cannot sustain in long run.
Similarly in personal lifes if the head of family doesnot force disciplines or ideas the house leads towards failure. Most of the time i was against using the force, but after reading George Bush recent one and how he defended on use of force it was good. I have also learnt that force is not a bad thing and it should be used to keep things in order. If it is not used it will lead to failure of things be it personal or professional.
I personally feel its high time that i should learn this and start implementing.
The govt has changed in USA from republicans to democrats, but still policy remains same with minor alterations.
The way china used force against tibet is a live example we have next door.
The way force is used by ruling party against opposition in all states in india is an example of it. Down tamilnadu how force is used against jayalalitha is a live example.

Live and Lead with your heart
My personal life philosophy is that I live and lead with my heart. I believe that every experience in our lives touches us in ways that leave an imprint in our hearts. Sometimes, those imprints are painful and sometimes they are the things that mean the most us.
Life is about learning to love, to feel compassion, to find strength and determination, and to live through the experiences that make us who we are. All these things effect and touch the heart.
If you think about it, when you find someone or something or maybe even some issue that you are deeply touched by, that feeling hits the heart. When you see injustice or notice something that causes pain and hurt, that feeling hits the heart. When you decide that you are going to do your best to change or make a difference, those things come from your heart.
The best way I can think to explain it is this way. You see homeless children on the television, their suffering and pain touches you deeply. You then become compassionate about making the changes needed if only to help a few. You decide that you are going to do something to change this and so then you become determined. From that determination, you gain strength and from that strength, you pour your love into trying to make a change that will benfit others.
You have lead with your heart. The heart sees and feels love in many different ways. Those feelings guide you in making decisions and in sharing your life and life experiences with others.
I also believe that the true depths of people's values and morals live deep in the heart. Most people try to always logic things out and they change the nature of who they are. They listen to what other people say and don't follow what is truly inside them. Most people conform based on what others say and not on what is inside them. When they do this, they look back sometime later and have regrets because they didn't follow what they believed in their heart was the right thing for them to do.
The heart and pain
There are things I have gone through in my life that hit my heart hard. They hurt so bad and they left scars that I don't think will ever be forgotten. But those are a part of me. They are the imprints of who I am. The very things that lead to me to make decisions in my life that lead me to be the person I am.
I understand that I won't agree with certain choices other people make but that doesn't mean that their choices are wrong. It may be what is in their heart. I am not saying that you still don't have to use logic, but you can use logic and your heart to make the best choices for yourself.
Other people's views
Everyone is different when it come to their beliefs in religion, politics, and their culture. Just because I see those differences, doesn't make their way wrong. Their beliefs and convictions are from their heart. You can't force someone to change the way they believe because you disagree. There has to be a certain degree of tolerance and compassion in understanding those differences.
Your life is your own. Nobody has the power to take away what is in your heart. It is when you relinquish what you believe, when you compromise on what you feel, and when you don't listen to what you know in your heart is right, that you get yourself in trouble.

Ravi shankar good words
One thing we need to remember is that the whole story will be finished here! All of us will be gone! We will all go under ground. Life will come to an end, right? If we look back and see so many people we once knew are now gone. Those who were with us, they are all finished. More will go. Everybody will go and one day we will also be gone. This is the permanent truth, the definite truth in life.
