Cheers, the end to drunken driving is in sight!
2007-05-08 08:04:00
Readers, hope you recall the post End drunken driving. That vision is rapidly manifesting. Enterprising students of IIT, Chennai (Indian Institute of Technology) have developed and patented a device to prevent drivers from driving while drunk.The device is fitted inside the car cabin. It has a breath analyzer that will detect the presence of alcohol in the drivers' breath. As soon as alcohol is detected, the device stops the engine.Kudos, friends! For focusing on REAL SOCIAL ISSUES! We need to make this device mandatory in all vehicles.Next, we need a character reinforcing and modifying software!Inspiration is the fuel which moves us towards our goals.Inspiration is essential if you want to succeed in the world, inspiration is also needed for spiritual success.We can gain inspiration from the lives of people who led inspired lives. Without inspiration we are running on watered fuel.So lets revv up our engines, splash on gallons of inspiration, and race towards the finish line. Aft...

The Psychology of Porn
2007-05-05 10:39:00
Modern day porn focuses consciously or unconsciously on humiliating and degrading women. What is the psychology behind deriving pleasure from another human being’s humiliation? Once while visiting a friend’s house I saw his 8 year old son play the Aladdin game on Computer. Instead of playing through the game, he was making Aladdin jump up and down on the lying camel’s head. When I asked why he was not completing the game, he said he just wanted to jump on “his head”.In films we have entertainment doled out in the form of beating up people. In porn it takes the form of humiliating people. Perhaps there is an underlying issue here that has to be brought to the surface.Every effect has a cause. This tendency could be an attempt to regain one’s sense of self worth which had been trampled upon during childhood. Recall the put downs that children receive from their parents, elders, siblings and friends. This probably got embedded in the psyche. And when he/she has a chance to ...

Marriage:To tie the knot or not ?
2007-05-01 20:52:00
Many of the youngsters out there are apprehensive about getting tied up in a permanent relationship.Considering its many good and bad sides, we can evaluate marriage from an outsider's point of view:Marriage is not a safety valve for release of sexual tension, though sex is quite an important part of it.People cannot be expected to mature overnight by getting married, as some mothers expect.Marriage will work if we keep working on ourselves, rather than on the partner. Example has a powerful impact.Marriage deteriorates if it is used as a controlling game, as a squaring out of turns dealt to us.Past unresolved emotional issues will surface in a marriage, as it is the closest relationship between two people.They simply mean we need to get help.Sex has to be elevated to an art of deepest communion rather than of relieving an itch.Requires patience, but is possible.Marriage is a legitimate form of enjoying our desires with a clear conscience. It is not possible to demand respect and l...

Experience your Energy Field
2007-05-01 08:58:00
Energy fields occur around every living being from humans to animals, plants and minerals. This seems to be a verification of the age old philosophy that consciousness resides in everything. As Jalaluddin Rumi has put it: “God sleeps in minerals, Awakens in plants,Moves in animals and Thinks in humans.”Energy has been variedly described as Ki in Japanese, Prana in Sanskrit, Chi in Chinese and Bio plasma in modern new age lingo. We may not be aware of the terms for this phenomenon in other languages, but it being universal, we need not be surprised if we keep encountering this in varied cultures.I had my first experience of this energy (I will call it Chi here) in a Tai chi class. The class was conducted by Mr. Marco from Auroville, India.The practice is simple. The essential thing is to be relaxed.1. Sit straight on a chair or mat.2. Wear loose clothing.3. Attain a state of progressive relaxation of your body as described below.4. Relaxation is indicated by the looseness of your...

The Pleasures of Self-Discipline
2007-04-20 10:51:00
In Kerala there is a type of ayurvedic medicine called Kashayam. It is very bitter. People used to sweet and dainty dishes will have a hard time stomaching this medicine. It has even become a kind of proverb to say “it is bitter- like kashayam”. Certain kashayams have the effect of purifying your blood.Discipline and any action aimed at improving our living conditions seem to be like drinking the bitter kashaya. You would rather relish the sweetness of languor. Say for instance, you want to build up a muscular body. You have to work out a program of regular exercise and stick to it, every day. Every day at the same hour, you do the set number of pushups, sit-ups, chin-ups, dumbbells, everything in your prescribed routine. And you take the special diet, protein enriched to add muscles to your frame.In the first few days, your body will scream, “No!”, as you press it into this unfamiliar regimen. You do not give in. You press on.Then you break though the layer of resistance an...

The role of thoughts in shaping our destiny
2007-04-17 09:26:00
One cannot over stress the effect of internal dialogue (also called unconscious self talk, thoughts etc) while discussing success, in any field. The age old habit of the mind to hang on to something, the inability to let go and stand by itself, is the root cause of this internal dialogue. (I am talking about unconscious self talk- that which we are not aware that we are thinking) Right now, take a break and listen to yourself: what is going on inside your mind now? What are the thoughts rushing through your brain? Are there any feelings? Boredom? Become aware. From time to time, take a break and be aware of what is going on inside you, NOW. This can also be the key to overcoming addictions. If you are like most people, you will find the thoughts rage on within each of us, all the time. Millions of thoughts pass through our minds everyday.Most of the time they are like an undercurrent, like if you are trying to catch a running bus, your mind might say: Will I get it? No, I will not ...

A Technique for Relaxation
2007-04-14 12:57:00
Relaxation involves letting all the stress and tension in the body and mind drain off us, till we hang like a limp, wet rag of cloth. Or a reclining cat that is the perfect example of relaxation.Why is Stress caused? Research by authorities such as Dr. Hans Selye has shown that stress is caused when there are uncontrolled thoughts in the mind. It is also true that it is not possible to control the thoughts as you would turn a radio knob off and on. But it is possible to befriend the mind .And that is the only way of controlling it.It is similar to dealing with an unruly child. If we tell it not to do something, it will immediately go and do it. But if we give it loving attention and remain calm and watchful the child will eventually come to our side. We should not force it to do anything. Same is the case with the mind.Can We gain material and spiritual success through Yoga, meditation and positive self talk ? An Experiment. Enjoy life to the hilt. Earn your full potential.

True Equality
2007-04-13 08:45:00
A husband and wife were walking down the road. He had been a highly successful industrialist, who had tasted extraordinary success in life. He had grown stale with it all-the money, the popularity, the fast cars, mansions, planes, speed yachts, he had them all….His kids were grown up and settled in life. It was at this point that he began thinking: What next? He could achieve anything he set his eyes on. There was the presidency of the country. Well, he was not interested in dominating a position of power anymore. It would mean more power struggles with lobbies in the administration... He wasn’t that interested in reforming the nation as such. It was a question of survival. Let the fittest survive. As for the homeless on the streets, the prostitutes, the unemployed youth, the drug addicts …well there could be time for that later. Let me first find out the meaning of life. Then if there is time I will try to do something permanently good for this country and the world at large,...

Creating what you want
2007-04-12 12:02:00
Which is the most effective solution for creating all the wealth that you need? Saying Affirmations? Writing them down? Giving away money?Invest in the Share market? Writing books?What ever the job/business you take up to increase your wealth, it is essential that you change your mental mind set first. An impoverished mind set can drive away wealth, or for that matter, all good things.This is funny but true-“To him who has, shall be given (more)”.The thing in question is Faith. The more you search for something, the more it recedes. This holds true in every scenario-wealth, relationships, employment …and finally enlightenment.That’s right, your own Self experience. Note, it is a capital “S”.Can We gain material and spiritual success through Yoga, meditation and positive self talk ? An Experiment. Enjoy life to the hilt. Earn your full potential.

Stress Relief Through Yoga
2007-04-11 10:14:00
Stress may be defined as the mental and physical discomfort resulting from uncontrolled thoughts in one’s mind. This is the definition given by Dr.Hans Selye, the world famous authority on Stress. He has conducted extensive research on this problem that ails the modern world.Let us see how stress develops and what its consequences are. The apparent stimuli are the external events that happen around an individual. Examples would be failure in exams, job interviews, failure to meet project deadlines, impending disasters like airplane crashes, being on the battlefront, fear of bomb threats, diseases etc.We will consider a common instance: A salesman has to complete his minimum quota of sales. As the deadline approaches, he realizes that he has not achieved the required quota. He is assailed by thoughts: whether he will achieve it at all, will he achieve it within the time limit, will he be given a time extension, will he lose his job, will he get another, what will he do for his fami...

The limits of humans-or are there any ?
2007-04-07 12:15:00
There does not seem to be any limit to the extraordinary feats achieved by humans in their quest to transcend mortal boundaries.I once watched was a show on National Geographic,around December 2001 or so.It showed old women demonstrating their martial arts prowess. The camera showed an iron rod being placed (sharp end) against an old lady's temple and being hammered in at full force.Can you guess what happened ? The end result was that the thick iron rod was bent into a big V. And the woman? Smiling as ever, she didn’t even move a muscle throughout the demo.She was a regular practitioner of Qigong.Martial arts like Taichi, Qigong and Sindo focus on developing the internal life energy (Called Prana in Sanskrit / Chi in Chinese/ Ki in Japanese). Often the practitioners can achieve astonishing results as described above.Can We gain material and spiritual success through Yoga, meditation and positive self talk ? An Experiment.

An end to drunken driving for ever
2007-04-07 12:15:00
Those who have been the victims of drunken driving will appreciate the urgent need to stop this menace. How many innocent lives have been snuffed out by somebody having taken a bit too many and driven irresponsibly?Recently I escaped injury while traveling in a Delhi Road Transportation bus. The driver was drunk and he kept accelerating and braking suddenly, jerking us forward and backward. I was standing, holding some things in my hand, and was trying to buy tickets from the conductor. When he braked again for the third time I was thrown flat on my back. Luckily no injury. My head could have hit a seat and I could have died, my spine could have been injured. Suppose a pregnant woman or an old/sick person falls like that?This set me thinking and the solution popped up by evening:Ever y vehicle has to be fitted with a mini breath analyzer (capability enough to just detect the presence of alcohol, measurement is not needed.) It should be situated where the driver’s breath falls-on th...

In the name of religion
2007-04-04 10:13:00
If you have been pained at the atrocities committed all over the world in the name of religion, here is a piece of good news :the religions may be saying the same thing.It is about the accusation that the KORAN exhorts its followers like this:Kill the Kafir and gain heaven. Here Kafir means Non-believer.This has been taken as an exhortation by some people to wipe out all non-believers (those who are not followers of Islam.)But the true import of this statement is far from this meaning.Kafir in Arabic comes from the root "Kufr". Kufr means "ego". The intrepretation closer to truth is :If you have effaced your ego, you can experience heaven(here), on earth.!The Cross of Christianity does symbolise the crossing out of the ego "I". Put a dash across I and you get the cross.Hindu philosophy : Dissolve the individuality(the I) in the Ocean of Cosmic Consciousness.Muse:What is the difference between these three views ?Can We gain material and spiritual success through Yoga, meditation and...

Yoga: a Panacea
2007-03-24 20:01:00
Those who regularly practise Yoga can experience a gradual spreading of calmness. This is first experienced during the practice sessions. Gradually it spreads to the remaining parts of the day.But one issue that most yoga practitioners would have faced is that of maintaining the calm of Yoga in the midst of workday pressures. How to stay calm and centered while that colleague is carping at you, spreading tales about you behind your back.This is a real life situation most of us have had to face at one time or other.It would be better to stop pretending to be an accomplished yogi who is having samadhi every time he meditates. We are all human. We have passed through countless lives before, and their residue is left in our minds in the form of impressions. When the apt situations crop up, they may rise like the sphinx.This kind of vexing situation is known only to the serious practitioner. He who has been keeping at it for years. He may have had a few transcendental experiences, but wh...

Defying the myths of Senility :Jeanne Liebermann
2007-01-03 12:58:00
A KICKING GRAND MA: OLD AGE IS A MYTH“Old age? There is no such thing!” Mme. Jeanne Liebe rman replied in response to a query whether her age of 92 plus was weighing on her. She was a martial arts grand master who lived in France. An interview of her was conducted by Claude Bobin and it appeared in the 1978 September issue of the Indian Reader’s digest.Mme. Jeanne Lieberman started learning martial arts at the tender age of 63, when most of us would prefer retiring from the armchair to the sofa- watching the antics of our grand children. But for her, it was the beginning of a new life- a life of conquering and self –discovery plus a whole new vista of opportunities and healing for a lot of people past 60. She had prepared herself though. She was a regular practitioner of Yoga.She joined a Judo Dojo (martial arts school) in Paris. When she went to enrol, the joke goes that the instructor asked if it was for her son or her grandson. Imagine his surprise when she replied it was ...

Awareness and Relaxation and Focus ?
2006-05-31 19:54:00
What is relaxation ? Is it just hanging out like a limp cat, whatever the circumstances ? Does it make you feel rusted and wasted.Focus is essential for achieving success, whether spiritual or material.We cannot blame anybody for having desires and goals for achieving any amount of wealth in this short human life.If we do not experience our desires and understand the quality and quantity of satisfaction that we can derive from them, they will remain in our minds unfulfilled longings.The fun thing is it is possible for anybody to fulfill his desires.I did not say ALL of his/her desires.But that too would be possible if he/she had the concentration to the desired degree to focus all of their energies on the goal.Well, but in the course of setting goals and achieving their desires, doesnt one become too strung out and machinistic, having no human emotions ?It isnt so, in my experience.One cannot do away with awareness, in any moment of one's life.Awareness of our thoughts, actions an...
