TEN POINTS THAT MAY HELP KEEP YOU HAPPY

TEN POINTS THAT MAY HELP KEEP YOU HAPPY

https://ramamohanraocheruku.blogspot.com/2016/02/ten-points-that-may-help-keep-you-happy.html

1. Listen to your body’s wisdom, which expresses itself through signals of comfort and discomfort. When choosing certain behaviour, ask your body, ‘How do you feel about this?’ If your body sends a signal of physical or emotional distress, watch out. If your body sends a signal of comfort and eagerness, proceed.

2. Live in the present, for it is the only moment you have. Keep your attention on what is here and now; look for the fullness in every moment. Accept what comes to you totally and completely so that you can appreciate it, learn from it, and then let it go. The present is as it should be. It reflects infinite laws of Nature that have brought you this exact thought, this exact physical response. This moment is as it is because the universe is as it is. Don’t struggle against the infinite scheme of things; instead, be at one with it.

3. Take time to be silent, to meditate and to quiet the internal dialogue. In moments of silence, realise that you are re-contacting your source of pure awareness. Pay attention to your inner life so that you can be guided by intuition rather than externally imposed interpretations of what is or isn’t good for you.

4. Relinquish your need for external approval. You alone are the judge of your worth, and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks. There is great freedom in this realisation.

5. When you find yourself reacting with anger or opposition to any person or circumstance, realise that you are only struggling with yourself. Putting up resistance is the response of defences created by old hurts. When you relinquish this anger, you will be healing yourself and cooperating with the flow of the universe.

6. Know that the world ‘out there’ reflects your reality ‘in here.’ The people you react to most strongly, whether with love or hate, are projections of your inner world. What you most hate is what you most deny in yourself. What you most love is what you most wish for in yourself. Use the mirror of relationships to guide your evolution. The goal is total Self-knowledge. When you achieve that, what you most want will automatically be there, and what you most dislike will disappear.

7. Shed the burden of judgement — you will feel much lighter. Judgement imposes right and wrong on situations that just are. Everything can be understood and forgiven, but when you judge, you cut off understanding and shut down the process of learning to love. In judging others, you reflect your lack of self-acceptance. Remember that every person you forgive adds to your self-love.

8. Don’t contaminate your body with toxins, either through food, drink, or toxic emotions. Your body is more than a life-support system. It is the vehicle that will carry you on the journey of your evolution. The health of every cell directly contributes to your state of wellbeing, because every cell is a point of awareness within the field of awareness that is you.

9. Replace fear-motivated behaviour with love-motivated behaviour. Fear is the product of memory, which dwells in the past. Remembering what hurt us before, we direct our energies toward making certain that an old hurt will not repeat itself. But trying to impose the past on the present will never wipe out the threat of being hurt. That happens only when you find the security of your own being, which is love. Motivated by the truth inside you, you can face any threat because your inner strength is invulnerable to fear.

10. Understand that the physical world is just a mirror of a deeper intelligence. Intelligence is the invisible organiser of all matter and energy, and since a portion of this intelligence resides in you, you share in the organising power of the cosmos. Because you are inseparably linked to everything, you cannot afford to foul the planet’s air and water. But at a deeper level, you cannot afford to live with a toxic mind, because every thought makes an impression on the whole field of intelligence. Living in balance and purity is the highest good for you and the Earth.

Internet of the Ancient India

Internet of the Ancient India (Enormous links with Infinite knowledge)

Internet, in today’s time has gone up to become oxygen for cyber world; even WW III doesn’t pose threat anymore than the shutdown of the Internet. According to statistics, Internet traffic till date is estimated to be nearly 32 terabytes per second; that sounds humongous isn’t it? But, you will be shocked to know that even before the existence of the modern day Internet; it was only India that had enormous information preserved in face of ancient literature.
Sanskrit language alone has countless books and pages of information that are impossible for the current generation to finish reading in their entire lifetime; even if they had nothing else do to. Every piece of information was so brilliantly connected and ensconced that it wouldn’t be wrong to call ‘it’ the Internet of ancient India.
Don’t believe us? This write-up might just restore your faith. To start with let’s just broadly categorize the ancient work in six kinds: Vedas, Upavedas, Vedangas, Puranas, Darshanas, and Kavyas.

1. Vedas

Large body of texts or ‘knowledge’ to be precise from the ancient Indian literature is termed Vedas. These foundational works of Hinduism are often called ‘Shruti’ (Sruti in Sanskrit: meaning- what is heard). They are considered ‘apauruṣeya’, which means ‘not of a man, authorless, impersonal’, and are believed to be devised by Lord Brahma (creator of life).

Four sacred Vedas of Hinduism

Specifically these Vedas are inscribed into four works: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda. Further these works are sub-classified into four major text types: the Samhita (mantras, hymns, or shlokas), the Aranyaka (texts defining rituals, holy ceremonies, and symbolic sacrifices), the Brahmanas (notations, remarks, and interpretations of those rituals, ceremonies and sacrifices), and the Upanishads (manuscripts discussion spiritual knowledge and philosophy).

Upasana Veda

A few scholars of recent times have also voiced to infuse a fifth category- the Upasanas, which means worshipping these works. Multitude of knowledge is engraved within Samhitas and Upanishads of these works, which is impossible for a human to read completely in his/her present lifetime.

#2. Upavedas

These are credited as the secondary body of work within Hindu culture, in contrast to Vedas (note: context wise). If Vedas are more spiritual than Upavedas would be more secular. To understand the different within them more clearly, let us just say that Vedas focus on the inner world, while Upavedas focus on the outer world.
Upavedas are more inclined towards material and are further classified into four categories- Ayurveda (deals with wellness and health), Arthaveda (deals with transcripts of economics, polity, governance, etc.), Gandharvaveda (deals with art) and Sthapatyaveda (deals with ancientengineering, architecture, et al).
Of all known texts Shushruta Samhita, Charaka Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya come under Ayurveda, while Arthaveda covers Arthashastra, Panchatantra, and Hitopadesha. Texts like Kamasutra, Natyashastra, and Dhvanyaloka come under Gandharvaveda, and Manasara Mayamatam, Vishvarupam, and Rupavastumandana are all under Sthapatyaveda.

#3. Vedanga

Acknowledged as the limbs of Vedas, Vedanga are six assisting regulations to study and understand Vedas. These Vedangas help in building a strong foundation of the language. These six classifications are– Siksha (Sandhi, meaning pronunciation, phonetics), Vyakarana (grammar), Nirukta (semantic etymology), Chandas (prosody, poetic meters), Jyotisha (astrology, astronomy), and Kalpa (rituals, law, et al).
Siksha being the first discipline has 32 systems, each of them differently related to Vedas in order to teach morphophonology, phonetics, and phonology. The second comes Kalpa, which constitutes of huge texts related to teaching rituals, laws and dharma. Third one, Vyakarana is devoted to grammar, and the fourth one, Nirukta, deals with etymology. Chandas is the fifth discipline dedicated to Sanskrit prosody. And finally, the sixth discipline is Jyotisha, which is to measure time and movements of
planets, sun and moon.

#4. Puranas

Going by their literal meaning ‘ancient texts’, these are widely accredited as folklores or legends of sages and kings and their tales, which were composed for the purpose of educating commoners. At core, they contain the philosophy of the Vedas. Several of these texts are named after Hindu gods, like Shiva, Vishnu and Devi.

Ramayana and Mahabharat

In total there are 18 Mahapuranas comprising Bhagavata purana, Shiva purana, Brahma purana, Padma purana), and 18 Upapuranas. Legendary epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata, too come under Puranas.

#5. Darshana

One of the most sought out works of the ancient India is Darshanas. Their literal meaning signifies ‘point of view’; basically referring to philosophy. Around the world, there are six classical schools of Indian philosophy and three unorthodox schools.
These six classical schools are widely known as Sankhya (where method of reasoning and enumeration are taught), Yoga (where union of body and mind is preached), Nyaya (where various methods to study knowledge and learning are established), Vaisheshika (where study of existence and nature of reality is taught), Mimamsa (which teaches of philosophy of rituals), and Vedanta (which gives out introspective wisdom).
And, then there are the three unorthodox schools, which are Jaina (which preaches Jainism), Bauddha (which preaches Buddhism), and Lokayata (which preaches materialistic atheism). Apart from these are nine schools of Indian philosophy where students are trained to explore the fundamental philosophy of the world.

#6. Kavya

Any work of literature of the Hindu culture which evokes rasa (aesthetic experience) comes under Kavya. It can be poetry, epic poems, didactic verse, historic poetry, prose, songs, and plays. When we talk of Kavya ras, only one name comes straight to our mind- Kalidas. One of the greatest poets of the world, and till date his work remains unmatched.
There are over hundreds of prominent poets whose work have had a lasting importance engraved to Sanskrit literature. One can only imagine if not measure the brilliance and depth of knowledge of Sanskrit language given to us by our ancestors.

Pride of ancient India

India is only fortunate to inherit such a magnificent tradition, which remains unbroken for nearly 6,000 years.

Holy Man in India without Food or Water for 70 Years

Holy Man in India without Food or Water for 70 Years

Prahlad Jani, a holy man in India claims that he didn’t eat or drink for 70 years and lives without any kind of food or water. He claims that he was blessed by holy goddess, which has enabled him to survive without sustenance. But who is going to believe that right? Medical science tells us that human beings rarely survive more than a week without water, and a couple of months at most without food. How this person could survive all these years without essential minerals and water? Challenged to prove that he could survive without food or water, in 2003 he underwent his first hospital investigations for six days. Then in 2010, a team of 35 researchers all from the Indian Defense Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS) and other organizations observed and tested the old man Prahlad Jani from April 22nd until May 6th 2010. The yogi was under  24-hour observation in the western Indian city of Ahmadabad. Two cameras have been set up in his room, while a mobile camera films him when he goes outside, guaranteeing round-the-clock observation. Since the experiment began on April 22, Jani has had no food or water and has not been to the toilet.  The only contact with any form of liquid that Jani had was when he had an occasional bathing session, which first took place on the fifth day of examination; it was then when he would gargle some water. His toilet was also sealed to check the truth of his claims that he did not urinate or defecate. All his medical test results revealed no anomalies and doctors described his health status as being extremely good. This tells us that the claim is correct, and this man has really some kind of unnatural power.
ABC News reports: “WE STUDIED HIM FOR 15 DAYS WITH HIM TAKING NO WATER OR FOOD,” DR. SUDHIR SHAH TOLD ABC NEWS(ABC News is the news division of the American Broadcasting Company, owned by the Disney Media Networks )

division of the Walt Disney Company. . SHAH SAID THAT JANI GARGLED WATER AND TOOK BATHS, BUT CONSUMED NOTHING. WHILE THIN, JANI IS HEALTHY, DOCTORS SAID. “SOMEBODY DOESN’T TAKE WATER FOR SEVEN OR EIGHT DAYS HE SURELY DIES,” SHAH SAID.  
Attending a press conference at the Sterling Hospital in Ahmadabad, he said: “I am fit and strong today and even the doctors agree. They ran every test possible for 15 days and proved that I do not need food to keep me strong. I am strong and healthy, because it is the way God wants me to be.“ Prahlad Jani claims that he has left his home at the age of seven, searching for spiritual mystery, and at the age of eleven years, he underwent a religious experience during which he became a follower of the Hindu goddess Amba. Mr Jani believes that the goddess has sustained him ever since by feeding him with a lifegiving, invisible ‘elixir’, which has supposedly given him the strength to continue without food or water. For at least the past 40 years, Jani has been living, hermit-like, in a cave in the jungles close to the Gujarati temple of Ambaji. He rises at 4 am, spending most of the day meditating.

ATTITUDE

ATTITUDE

Please read carefully and relate with our life....you may enjoy more...

1) Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life. Never ask for a lighter rain. 

Just pray for a better umbrella. That is attitude.

2) When flood comes, fish eat ants & when flood recedes, ants eat fish. 

Only time matters. Just hold on, God gives opportunity to everyone!

3) Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right 

relationship, it's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care 

till ending.

4) Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on you what 

you make with them, Wall or Bridge? Remember you are the architect of 

your life.

5) Every problem has (n+1) solutions, where n is the number of 

solutions that you have tried and 1 is that you have not tried. That’s life.

6) It is not important to hold all the good cards in life. But it’s important 

how well you play with the cards which you hold.

7) Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, God smiles from 

above and says, `Relax dear it’s just a bend. Not the end'. Have Faith 

and have a successful life.

8) When you feel sad, to cheer up just go to the mirror and say, `Damn I 

am really so cute` and you will overcome your sadness. But don’t make 

this a habit because liars go to hell.

9) One of the basic differences between God and human is, God gives, 

gives and forgives. But human gets, gets, gets and forgets. Be thankful 

in life!

10) Only two types of persons are happy in this world. First is Mad and 

second is Child. Be Mad to achieve what you desire and be a Child to 

enjoy what you have achieved.

Eternal Truth

Modern science and engineering - A simple fact

Using Science and engineering products is different from saying and believing that every sentence in a science book is truth, whole truth, nothing but truth and every engineering artifact is 100% reliable. No piece of software, no electronic component is 100% reliable. There is only one absolute truth - satyam, jnanam, anantam Brahma. Science provides tentative explanation of the universe in which you are a part and engineering allows building of gadgets of some specified reliability, life and dependability.  Truth or falsehood is not a binary variable, there are many shades of truth and falsehood even in engineering.

Trust that Absolute Truth which is eternal and  the rest are aids  as they are preordained by fate or 

fortune, to follow.

How Far You Are Vegetarian?

How Far You Are Vegetarian?

Many people stop eating non-vegetarian food during Navaratri. If you are one of them, then you need to exercise some caution - there are some common food items which are easily passed with a 'vegetarian' tag but can actually be 'non-vegetarian'. Some of the ingredients used to make these items are actually derived from animal fat or even meat products. So the next time you crave for one of these foods, you need to know which food category they fall in to…

Soups

We Indians love soup. But do you know your favourite Manchow soup is actually non-vegetarian? If you are having this soup in restaurants then beware. Restaurants often add sauces to your soup which are made using fish or are fish sauces. So, if you think you are having something vegetarian, you are not! Next time do ask before ordering.

Naan

Our typical Indian lunch-out is incomplete without naan. But how the hell are naan non-veg? Well, not all naans are non-veg but many recipes for authentic naan call for use of eggs for kneading the dough to keep it soft and give it good elasticity. That's absolutely fine if you're an eggitarian but dear vegetarian, you better find some other option for your paneer tikkas.

Cheese

Indians have taken to cheese like a fish to water and we now add cheese to each and every recipe! So you have cheese pav-bhaji, cheese poha, cheese dosa and even cheese paratha! But did you know that the cheese you love might contain rennet, which is an enzymes derived from animal guts. Unfortunately for you, the cheese packets do not list the actual enzyme used but just a generic term "enzyme"

Oils

Remember that advertisement of 'heart-friendly' oil? That's actually not heart-friendly at all! Oils and juices that contain Omega-3 acids, advertised to be good for your heart are derived from fish oil. Also, some juices claim to have Vitamin D which is derived from Lanolin, obtained from sheep.

Salad Dressings

You ordered lettuce salad thinking you are safe. Think again! You know the vegetables are, well, vegetarian but have you ever wondered about the sauces? What exactly is in those sauces that make your salad so tasty? Most often salad dressings are not completely vegetarian and contain eggs. So the next time you order a salad or are buying your favourite salad dressing, please check the ingredients list thoroughly.

How Far You Are Vegetarian?--3

White Sugar

Did you know that while processing white sugar, to make it precisely as you like it, white, manufacturers send it through a cleansing process? And the cleansing process is done using 'natural carbon'. Wondering where that 'natural' in carbon comes from? Bone char. Yes, you thought right. Charred animal bones! The safest way out is to buy unrefined sugar or stick to brown jaggery.

Beer/Wine

Beer or wine makers often use isinglass - or fish bladders to clarify their beer. So the colour you love about, thanks to fish bladder! Well, most of the famous beer and wine brands in the world use isinglass.

Jelly

We all know what the main ingredient of jelly is. That's right! Gelatin. And gelatin is an animal derivative. However, in recent times, gelatin is being replaced by starch or other similar food products and chemicals so you might just be safe.

Potato chips

It's hard to believe but yes, even potato chips are non-vegetarian. Many chips, especially barbecue flavor, contain chicken fat. So next time you buy any chips packet, double check the ingredients

Cake Mix

For people who eat egg, cake mixes doesn't makes any difference but for a hard-core vegetarian, it's difficult to digest. Some cake mixes contain pork fat or lard, especially imported ones.

Sauces

Here are some sauces usually added to dishes for flavouring or added as accompaniments with other foods or drinks.

Worcestershire Sauce – Lea & Perrins – contains anchovies (small, silvery fish).

Apple Sauce – certain brands contains carmine which is a red food colouring made from ground up cochineal beetles.

Cesar Salad Dressing – contains egg and Worcestershire sauce.

Along with the ingredient names, there are many ‘E’ numbers that are not vegetarian. E Numbers are codes for food additives. Therefore, once again labels should be observed in detail to ensure the food does not contain animal content.

E numbers that are definitely based from animal content include: E120 (Cochineal – colouring that makes many foods red), E441/E485 (gelatin), E542 (bone phosphate), E631 (Disodium inosinate – flavor enhancer), E635 (Disodium 5′-ribonucleotides – flavor enhancer), E1105 (Lysozyme – made from eggs), E913 (Lanoline – A wax from sheep), E904 (Shellac-a glazing agent which is derived from the lac insect) and E570 (Stearic acid). (From google search)

Keeping track of ingredients in food requires vigilance and understanding, therefore, read labels more carefully, if you are a vegetarian, following a strict animal free diet.

FIND SUCCESS IN YOUR FIST

If success is the thrown then determination is the quality of the wood, commitment, concern, dedication and devotion are its four strong legs.decency  and discipline are the hand rests.Satisfaction is the backrest amicability and adjust-mentality are the foot rests. The seat itself is your success. 
Fools never start a work. mediocres  take up the task but will not sustain it up to the end. Only a self commandant person will thrive hard till he attains success. 
Here are a few points for those who are in a hesitation to take up sustain and fulfill the task .
Responsibility
Your life is your statement to the world as it represents the human values, beliefs, and dreams and the  achievements you adopt. It is your world of enjoyment or misery, emotion or tranquility. When you enter into adolescence it is not to run after girls it is to run after your wants and needs. In the end when you could decide that the obstacles or problems that are appearing in your life are your own, the first thing then  you should do is  do not  blame them on your parents, society, or the economy or any other thing whatsoever but own them. You realize that you are the controller executor  and the terminator  of your own destiny.
Control 
Life is a balance between what we can and cannot control. You must learn to live comfortably between effort and surrender. Life does not owe you anything; it has already given you everything you need. Freedom is not overcoming what you think stands in your way; it is understanding that what is in your way is part of the way.

Exchange of work with Time

The true price of a task you take up  is the amount of time you exchange for it. If the thing you’re doing or thinking isn’t fixing or improving the situation, then you are  wasting your time. Then choose between turning the page or closing the book.
Decisions 
Start walking your own walk. This journey is yours. You know you were born, and you also know that death is imminent. Tread your own path and start walking your own walk.The in between is all up to you. Stop wishing, and start doing. Either you run your days, or your days will run you is with in your hands.

Good Company
It’s not always where you are in life, but who you have by your side that matters most. Some people drain you and some others provide soul food. Be sure to get in the company of those who feed your spirit, and give the gift of your absence to those who do not appreciate your presence.Just consider three drops of the same rain. One falls on hot iron and gets evoperated immediately. the other falls on the leaf of a lotus and starts glittering as a pearl but the third one falls into the shell and becomes a real pearl. Hence note that the company is all that matters.

Think constructively
Our thoughts are the makers of our moods, the inventors of our dreams, and the creators of our will. That is why you must sort through them carefully, and choose to respond only to those that will help you build the life you want, and the outlook you want to hold as you’re living it. 

The Foundation
Being yourself is the foundation of happiness. Knowing yourself is the foundation of wisdom. Pushing yourself is the foundation of success. If these are realised the success is deemed to be at your threshold.

self-love
Let it not be mistaken to selfishness. Caring for yourself is not an act of self-indulgence, it’s an act of self-respect. The day will finally come when you have to accept that you need to be your own caretaker. There will be times when you’ll have to work hard to care yourself with compassion and patience that any messed up kid would need. Doing so, will prove to be a great challenge, but a happier life is your reward. We need to fix 
ourselves first before we fix others.

Restrain pain
 The strongest people you know became strong because of the pain they once faced, and conquered. So in spite of all the put-downs and negativity you’ve heard from others in your life, stay focused on your goals, and remember that how you rise up is no one else’s business but your own but ,mind you this is is not any advice to follow unscrupulous ways for your elevation. Be God fearing in any deed you decide to do.  Sometimes it takes the worst pain to bring about the best change. One day this pain will make sense to you.

Don't Quit Make Fit
No matter what you do, no matter how many times you screw up and think to yourself that there’s no point to carry on, and no matter how many people tell you that you can’t do it – keep going. Pick yourself back up. Don’t quit. Don’t quit, because a few months from now you will be so much closer to your goal than you are now. Focus on the road ahead. Do something with all zeal and enthusiasm . Your commitment is the rocket .Once you ignite it with your will then sky is the limit for it.
