Copy & Paste : Do it carefully

A popular motivational speaker was entertaining his Audience. He Said: "The best years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who wasn't my wife!"

The audience was in silence and shock. The speaker added: "And that woman was my mother!"

Laughter and Applause!!!

A week later, a top manager trained by the Motivational speaker tried to crack this very effective joke At home. He was a bit foggy after a drink. He said loudly to His wife who was preparing dinner, "The greatest years of my life were spent in the arms of a woman who was not my Wife!"

The wife went; "ahhhh!" with shock and rage.

Standing there for 20 seconds trying to recall the second Half of the joke, the manager finally blurted out "...and I can't remember who she was!"

By the time the manager regained his consciousness, he was on a hospital bed nursing burns from boiling water.

19. Start Early, Go Slowly and Reach Safely

From childhood everyone heard and enjoyed the story of Hare and Tortoise and now how many of us remember the moral of the story?

We almost forgot all those great classics imbibed into stories and educated most of us. Today being pushed practically impossible targets and always on calculators we need to slow down and if possible re-read those old classics which gives best clues for management.

I knew a company into some retail business for more than a century, who are always adept of the business, but expansion is relatively slow compared to new genre joint ventures who rapidly multiplied the stores and reduced their own margins. This is the reason, if you know the tagline,

You'll lead better if you slow down. You'll get more done, too.

It doesn't seem like it would be true. It doesn't seem like slowing down would get that much more done. But it does. Every day you do it, you will get more done. Every day you experiment with slowing down, you will understand the truth behind the legend of the tortoise and the hare.

The most important element of slowing down is to know that you're always working on the right thing to be working on at any given time. Business consultant Chet Holmes says that he and his clients accomplish that by making sure each day has only six things on the Must Do list. That list lets them slow down.

If I am on the wrong road, it doesn't matter how good I get at speeding down the road. It's still the wrong road.

I need to remind myself of this: Slow down and win. I need to take my sweet, gentle time. I want this conversation ahead of me to be relaxed and strong so that the relationship I have becomes relaxed and strong. So all day, it helps to tell myself: Slow down. Even slower than that.


Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence----- Albert Einstein

18.Give Attention to Attention

Anything you pay attention to expands. It grows.
Pay attention to your garden plants and they grow. Pay attention to your wife and you never fall in any tussle, Pay attention to your child and there would be no complaints throughout the life from them. Pay attention to your favorite cause, and your passion and knowledge will grow the success of that cause. Attention is like that. Anywhere you direct it; the object of that attention grows.
Attention is powerful. Yet most people allow their attention to be pushed and pulled around all day long by outside forces.
Your attention is like money. It is a precious treasure. It is paid in to things. We say pay attention for a reason. It is invested. It gets paid in to whatever you choose to pay it in to. If you pay it in to the things you want (measurable, numerical outcomes and specific results), you will get more and more of what you want.
When you talk to members of your team, keep paying attention to the results you want, not the effort to achieve them. When you praise your managers, pay attention to results they achieved that you wanted, not the trying, the effort, or the attempt to do it.

Most managers miss this vital point: they keep rewarding the "trying," not realizing that doing so sends the subconscious message that "trying" is always enough. Their people soon think that if they can show they're making efforts, if they can show activity, then there won't be so much focus on end results.
Make sure you reward end results more than anything else like trying, the effort, or the attempt to do it.If you do so, you'll get better end results. You have to be the one who keeps talking numbers if you want that one person to hit his numbers.
If, instead, you commiserate with how hard everything is, and you acknowledge how hard everyone is trying, then that's what you'll get: fewer results and more trying. Whatever you praise, grows.
Always. It's the law of the harvest.


Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl is simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves.---Albert Einstein

17.Change : Encourage

If the rate of change on the outside exceeds the rate of change on the inside, the end is near.

16.Difference between a Leader and a Boss

The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads and the boss drives.

15.Be a hardnosed Optimist

A leader is a dealer in hope.
—Napoleon Bonaparte

14.Teaching how to Teach Themselves

If you want a man to be for you, never let him feel he is dependent on you. Make him feel you are in some way dependent on him.

13.Regression from the Future

Managers often, quite unconsciously, allow team meetings and one-on-one conferences to focus excessively on the past.

But the constant refrain of how things used to be and why things were "easier back then" demoralizes the team. 
The team sits through unnecessarily long periods of time spent hashing out, venting, and reviewing breakdowns and mistakes.This is done at the expense of the future. It is also done at the expense of optimism, morale, and a sense of good, orderly direction.
A good motivator will not make the mistake of obsessive focus on the past. A good motivator will use the past as a springboard that immediately leads to a discussion of the future: "What can we learn from that mistake that will serve us in the future? And if this happens again, how might we handle it better?"

To a good motivator, the past really has only one purpose: to provide building material for creating the future. The past is not used as something to get hung up on, or an excuse for regret, placing blame, nostalgia, personal attacks, and having a defeated attitude. A leader knows that leadership means leading people into the future. Just as a scout leader leads scouts into the woods, a true leader leads team members into the future.
Your shift to better leadership might include learning to make an ever-increasing percentage of your communication focus on the future: discussing your next week, planning your next month, designing your goals for next year, and looking at the opportunities that will be there two years from now. Be thorough and well-prepared when it comes to discussing the future. If the details are not always known, the commitments, vision, and strategies are.

Unmotivational managers will unconsciously disown and spread fear about the future. They will say how unpredictable and dangerous the future is. They will exaggerate potential problems and stress the unpredictability of everything. They will attempt to come across as realists when, in fact, it's much more truthful to say that they simply haven't done their homework.

You'll be motivating others to the degree that you are a constant source of information and interesting communication about the future of the team.

 The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.

12. Unconscious to Conscious

he other day I was attending an interview at one of the best employer in the financial industry. I felt well groomed and best at my appearance by wearing the top class shirt and well matched jeans trouser. I met the vice president of the company who was supposed to take my interview and at first look; he did not liked the way I dressed up. He pointed out jeans are not allowed in financial industry and I apologized him. I was asked whether I wore those jeans without conscious. Moreover, my reply was that which he was not expecting. I expressed my view if I ever want to lie, I can say so, but I cannot claim myself what I wore was just unconscious.
If I ever claim I’m unconscious about my own dress, what about my clients, company and my team I’m supposed to maintain?. Can I manage them all unconsciously? My answer to self was “NO”


If I'm an unconscious manager, can I be taught to be a true leader?

Of course I can. If you are going to turn me into a true leader, you begin by making what is unconscious (my commitments and operating principles as a leader) become conscious and clear. That's step one. That process is as simple as teaching me how to use a computer program.
If  you hold a leadership meeting and state very clearly why and how you intend to lead. You make everything clear. If there are other leaders in the room, even leaders whom you lead, you invite them to do the same. The more open we all are about how we intend to lead, the more motivated our people will be.
Okay, now look at those three qualities. They may be anything—honesty, openness, a total belief in you, creativity, nonjudgmental teaching style—whatever the three qualities are, look at them. More than likely, and more than nine times out of 10, these are qualities now in you as a leader. And these are the three things your people would say about you! Look at them. Is it not true? Are they not who you are?
This is a powerful exercise because it shows you how you have already internalized and already modeled yourself after the leaders you admired. However, until now, it has been subconscious. The trick is to make it conscious, and be very awake to it every day.
There is nothing so disheartening as a leader having a perceived hidden agenda, which comes from overly unconscious values at play. It discourages your people when they have to guess where you're coming from every day.
Far better to have both you and your people fully conscious of what you stand for.

A boss creates fear, a leader, confidence. A boss fixes blame, a leader corrects mistakes. A boss knows all, a leader asks questions. A boss makes work drudgery, a leader makes it interesting.

11.Push Not

1I'm surprised to see everyday in our life we used to get forced or pushed by our own parts (body), better half, partners, friends, employers, so called well wishers.
Are we really enjoy somebody pushing us? 
We never ask this question quite frequently because we afraid of ourselves and as we donot want to come out of those nests which we build upon the fraud, false and fake streams. We are afraid of ourselves to speak the truth of our own heart and always nod head for something that's not our like. Hence most of us feel pushed by time but no complaints on that seriously.
 Why we practice this?
Because, push is easier than Pull, hence we select always things that are easier for us to perform than their original intentions and understanding and application.
If I ever  push some one though with good intentions at one junction, it turns negative effect and sole purpose of push will be nullified.
Hence it's just like "SUMO" where two Sumo's fight for their respective win and never like to obey for loss. 

Instead make it "ai ki do" mean blending our inner forces, not force against force. And every move in aikido comes to that point, where both the aggressor's ki and my ki are blended. Right at that point, when we're in alignment, I have control over the other person and what happens to him and his body. Totally. It takes no effort. Because we're in complete alignment.

The application to motivating others is profound, because I don't really want to resist what my people are doing or saying. I want to guide their natural inner energy toward a mutual goal, theirs and mine. I want to receive and guide my people's natural energy...I don't want to oppose it or make it wrong.

 Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.

 

10. Want to be great

Either now or on one's deathbed, one realizes a strange truth: There's no excuse for not being great.
If you are a leader, a leader it is what you are. If you are still just a manager, just managing to manage, well, maybe you'll manage, but how fulfilling is that? How proud is your subconscious mind of you? How proud is your family?
Someday you will just decide to be great at what you do. You'll never look back. You'll never regret the decision. It might not have seemed like a big deal at the moment you decided, but somehow you'll know the decision is final. It will not have to be revisited.
There's a reason why it's good to be great: people want to follow you. People start to respect you. People want to be more like you. People want to do things for you.
And if you are honest with yourself, you will someday realize the truth for yourself, either now, or on your deathbed: There was no excuse for not being great.




When life demands more of people than they demand of life—as is ordinarily the case—what results is a resentment of life almost as deep-seated as the fear of death.

Why and How Swamiji's involve in Scandals?

 

                           Om Gurubhyo namah:

Who is Guru?

Sloka:

         Caturyugaa0tE vEdaanaa0 jaayetEkhila viplava: !

       Pravartayanti taanEtya bhuva0 saptarshayO diva: !! 

                                                                                                        -vishnupuranam0

The Veda explosion was happened at the end four Yugas and from Saptarishis from Dyuloka took the human forms (or amsa) and same Vedas were taught and proliferated the reincarnation and with due diligence and being appointed by  Lord Shiva (the Laya Karaka), considering the Prarabda karma from past life, past life regression through various births, living with last birth names and acting independently to accept a body or leave it free, with abundant Brahma jnana and no interest found with bodily things and showing magical powers to world to imbibe the public towards oneness with GOD, is the GURU.

What Mr. Ravi expressed is correct in the wake sense of a common man. With his permission I would like to dig this into a different direction or second face. Though my explanation seems criticizing Mr. Ravi Kumar’s opinion, but not truly I’m at it.

After living with a  living legend n both Vama and Dakshina marga Guru (Swamiji) for three and half years very closely associated with him in his measure works and actions, I feel I can throw a very little light on this topic. (I request my Guru to flow his energy to put my best at least space).

Most of the time No person will like to be called as Swamiji except a few people as Mr. Ravi mentioned who called themselves as Godman. It was us, the public who are greedy, materialistic, selfish always who run for and search for those people who are having links with eternal life and higher consciousness.

With great respect to Guru and Father H.H. Sree Sree Sree Swami Madhusudana Saraswati, I’ll pen down my own experience.

People in Telangana region knew Swamiji for past 25 years for his simplicity and philanthropic attitude. Slowly people gathered honoured themselves as disciples and started publicity for him without his notice. Because of this he changed his living place more than 11 times till now if I were not wrong or may be more. Every time he changed the house the number of disciples likes to reduce and slowly goes up again.

What these so called disciples will do is the question of our discussion?

They meet the public and find those who were in troubles and boast about the powers what they got from the Gurudev and promise them that they solve all without approaching the Guru in fact. Being the God of patience and Tolerance Gurudev will tolerate all these up to some level and then he’ll teach them that way opted was wrong. If ever the disciple is intelligent and in sampoorna samarpana (total submission to Gurudev) they will immediately react to the words or actions of Swamiji and rectify their behavior and keeps the path glowing with purity and sanctity.

But what about those materialistic people? They takes this as against their wish and now finds out all those faults and put them on big screen and black mail them (The same happened with Mr.K.Lenin so called Disciple and Driver of the Swami Nityananda, he wanted to run a big business with those charities coming from public obviously Swamiji was reluctant to do so as they knew our karmic pattern, which made Mr. Lenin to implant CC camera’s and record activities. I’m not dealing with affairs here as I want write on it separately).

1.       Did any Swamiji in India other than a few self-made claims that you need to call them as Swamiji?

2.       Did they ever ask you to come to them at first?

3.       Did they ever make you sick by so called scandals?

It’s our self with lots of greedy who met them and asked their energies to flow to materialize our dreams and maximize the returns and lured them into all nasty actions and finally blame them. Are we right in this? If yes can any body answer me in detail please?

Today after being visiting many ashrams by my Gurudev’s love and care on me, I can say with confidence that n most of Ashrams, those con people live along with those esteemed personalities under the shadow and waiting for the time to tame the luck. That’s cruel and better than beast in nature. The so called public who I call as mass hysteric or scape goats readily accepts either way without proper logic and reason, hence these news channels making good money, dear friends.

Sorry I deviated from main topic.

Then why Swamji’s involve in illicit affairs?

If you can really understand the spirituality then you find no difference between male and females and holds no passions for life but whatever there comes as alms from their Guru’s they live upon.

Being accepting people’s karma’s and in order to burn them off, they indulge in it, but most of us never try to understand the theory of nature but criticize at base level.

I’m proud to say that those days when I’m going through emotional transition, whenever the karmic pattern of mine pokes me for physical satisfaction, I used to transfer to my Swamiji, which HE happily accepted and suffered whole night doing the mantra sadhana and I was EYE WITNESS for this.  He saved me many times me having affairs with women who come to the ashram under the pretention of problem solving but tend to lure me so that to get access to my Swamiji quickly. But being faithful and heart spoken I was always well saved from them. Think a minute what it might happen if I were not true to my heart with Swamiji, I would have been conned ultimately bringing the shame on my Guru and ashram, where media people will be ready to click those news to get best TRP’s.

Many women like to sleep with spiritual people hoping that will provide best progeny which makes them proud in the society later in the life. Any of us know this?. These are not comments but plain truth from inside.

We need to understand about ourselves

1.       Our understanding of the basic system will be sufficient to question about?

2.       Do any of us know the system of energy flow other than physical theories?

3.       Have we any time have analyzed the system of spirituality and Guruhood?

4.       Did anyone know what the types of Guruhood and types disciples are?

5.       Did any of us thought nothing and surrendered for Guru for the sake of God?

Thanking Mr.Ravi raising the bell to write this and My Guru to allow me writing and publishing this post on my blog and thanking those valuable readers who read this in advance. I would be grateful if you can put your word about this and question me further.

Note: I here by take oath that all these content is my own and blessed by Gurudev and as a part of making public literate I'll write more on Guruhood soon 

9.Routining the Routine

9.The major psychological obstacle to motivational success is the myth of permanent characteristics. It is people who think that their habits of action are not habits, but permanent traits. Believing in that totally false myth traps people in a prison, an iron web of limitation. And it's all unnecessary!
The repeated action patterns that you and I demonstrate throughout the day are a result of habit, not the result of permanent characteristics, or character defects, or personality quirks.
If we don't like a certain tendency we have (let's say to procrastinate having that important talk with an employee who is out of line), then the first step in correcting the tendency is to see it for what it is: a habit. A habit is a pattern of behavior woven into seeming permanence by repetition. If I repeatedly and consistently put off doing the tough tasks in favor of the easy ones, it will become a habit. It's the law of the human neurological system.
So, what do we do?
All we have to do to build a new habit is to create a routine. That's right, a routine! Please repeat to yourself, "I don't need self-discipline for this, I don't need a new personality, I don't need fresh strength of character or even more willpower: All I Need Is a Routine."
One of our top mentors and business productivity coaches, Lyndon Duke, once said that he had spent many years lowering his self-esteem by bemoaning the condition of his messy apartment. He lived alone and was a highly active business genius who worked many long and joyful hours, but couldn't keep his place clean. He told himself
that he was an undisciplined and disorganized person. Soon, in his own mind, he was a slob. Permanent characteristic: slob.
Finally it dawned on him that the only thing missing was a routine. That's all he lacked! He didn't lack will-power, good character, or self-control. Not at all! He simply lacked a routine.
So he made up a routine: "I will straighten things up for 20 minutes every morning." Mondays, while coffee was brewing and eggs simmering, for just a few short and quick minutes, he would do his living room. Tuesdays, his kitchen. Wednesdays, the bedroom. Thursdays, the hall and porch. Fridays, the home office and den. And each Saturday morning, for 20 minutes, we would do a deeper cleaning of his choice. That became his routine. The beauty of a routine is that it eventually becomes habit.
"At first, it was awkward and weird," he said. "And I thought to myself that it was so unnatural and uncomfortable that I would probably never follow through, but I promised myself a 90-day free trial. I'd be free to drop it if my theory was incorrect. My theory was that I only needed a routine, and that once my routine became routine, it would be an effortless and natural part of my life."
He was absolutely correct about all of it. When we first visited him at his place, long after his routine had become habit, we noticed how clean and orderly it looked. We assumed he had someone come in to clean. Then he told us about the power, the absolutely stunning and amazing power, of making up a routine.
"I do it so naturally now that sometimes I don't even remember having done it," he said. "So I'll have to look
out at my living room to check, and lo and behold, it's in complete order. I had done it without thinking."
If something isn't happening in your professional life, if you could be more productive if only you were "as disciplined as so and so," then worry no longer. It isn't about you. It's about your lack of a routine. All you need is a routine. Make up your routine, and follow your routine, and if you do this for 21 days, it will be so effortless and natural to you that you'll never have to think about it again.
Do you hate yourself because you don't prepare for your team meetings? There's nothing wrong with you. You just need a routine. Are you troubled by how your e-mail is taking up your precious time and life as a leader? You aren't missing any kind of inner strength; you are missing a routine. Check your e-mail two specific times a day and tell your people that's what you do. Create a routine for yourself. Follow your routine for 21 days and then it becomes a habbit and Then you're free.

Leadership success is not easy, but it is not all that hard, either.
It is not nearly as hard as we often make it for ourselves.

Take Hold of Every Moment

A friend of mine opened his father's cupboard drawer and picked up a gift wrapped package:

"This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package."

He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box.

"He got this the first time he went to New Delhi, 28 or 29 years ago. He has never gave it to me. Was saving it for a special occasion, well, I guess this is it. I got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing’s and he was taking to the funeral house, he had just died. My friend turned to me and said:

"Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion".


I still think those words changed my life.



Now I read more and clean less the fuss


I sit on the porch without worrying about anything.






I spend more time with my family, and less at work.


I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day. I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if i feel like it.




I don't save my special perfume for special occasions, I use it whenever I want to. The words "Someday..." and "One Day..." are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends.
She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come.


I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... letters that I wanted to write

"One of this days".


I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brothers and sons, not times enough at least, how much

I love them.
Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives.

And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day.

Each day, each hour, each minute, is special.
Each day, each hour, each minute, is special

Scandals and Shameful activities of Swamijis

Asaram Bapu:

Two minor boys of the Asaram Ashram-run gurukul in Ahmedabad were found dead in the Sabarmati riverbed two days after they mysteriously went missing from the gurukul in February 2008.  The police booked Asaram Bapu in a criminal case pertaining to attempt to murder last year in December on the basis of a complaint filed by Raju Chandak, a former disciple of Asaram. Chandak was shot at by two persons on December 5 and he sustained injuries on his chest and shoulders. Chandak alleged that he was targeted at the behest of Asaram, as he had testified before the D K Trivedi Commission probing into the death of the two boys.

Premananda 

Also known as Trichy Sai Baba, he was awarded life imprisonment in 1994 for two terms on the charges of multiple criminal offences including rape and murder. 

Premananda, who reportedly had powerful supporters in the AIADMK, had not only raped many of the inmates of his ashram at Trichy but also carried out crude medical terminations of some of the consequent   pregnancies with the help of a couple of associates.

 He was also charged with the murder of an engineer who had opposed the nefarious activities at the ashram.

The Facts about the Criminal Case against Swami Premananda
True Story of the case against Swami Premananda by Aruljothy Achyuthan

“... My whole life changed and I became a victim - not of Swami Premananda, but of the police and those whom they influenced...

They tortured us and beat us severely with their hands and with sticks to make us say Swamiji molested us. ... Their sole motive was to force us to say that Swamiji raped us and did other awful things to us. They pressured us into signing blank papers and they wrote on them what they liked. Some girls were so badly beaten that they fainted...”
The DNA Tests Affair - Interview with Dr. Wilson J. Wall

“... When I say that the accused has not fathered this foetus, what I mean to say is that there is not even a chance, or even an infinitesimal chance of him being the father.

...Someone is trying to set-up Swami Premananda. The DNA case is a fabrication from start to finish. This deception throws a terrible shadow over validity of DNA fingerprinting if now there are scientists who are prepared to misuse it to find the innocent guilty.”
The Murder Case by Ella Combé

“... the judge was not interested in the truth and not at all in what I had to say... The witness for Swamiji are not fools, nor partial witnesses, nor are they 'wishful thinkers' as stated by the Honourable Judge ...We are intelligent, logical and caring human beings who would not be prepared to support a murderer and a rapist in a mass conspiracy to set him free...”

Human Rights violations in India - findings by Amnesty International

“... Torturing suspects has become part of the police’s daily routine throughout India, where hundreds, if not thousands of people have died from beatings in recent years and women are regularly raped in jail cells. The torture and deaths continue because police know there’s hardly any chance of the long arm of the law touching them – even if they kill the victim and the truth is revealed...”
 

ARTICLES AND PERSONAL EXPERIENCES 

Desecrating the Divine by Swami Durgananda, Sri Lanka

“...Swamiji himself was the perfect example of what he was guiding all of us to be. Yet it took me awhile to really understand that he was perfectly celibate...”

Between Truth and Falsehood by Heike Saranya Tarrutis, Journalist Germany

“The case of Swami Premananda - How the thoughts and the behaviour of thousands can be manipulated by malicious, false information. ...”

Avatar by C.V. Vigneshwaran, former Supreme Court Judge, Sri Lanka

“...You should not calculate that I am suffering because I stay in prison. I am only in God’s consciousness. Wherever I am, I will remain with that thought only. Prison punishments will not change the state of my mind...”

Religious Leaders Speak About Swamiji (quotes)

Swami Premananda Replies To The Question “When Will You Come Out?”

“Many devotees and spiritual friends are writing letters to Swami and asking him when he would come out. In June 2005, Swami replied ...”

An Age-old Story in 2005 by Gaurishwari (Sophie), Belgium
