Back to Basics


Have you ever noticed whenever you are happy, how is your energy level 'high' while on contrary whenever you are sad your energy level is 'low'. Or sometime even when things are alright and normal you don't feel all good and you feel something inside you is sinking. What is that something is sinking and cause a up moods, its nothing but the life force energy moving up ward or downward. Whether it's blame, sadness, loss, bad health or criticism we feel low while when we win, gain or received appreciation and recognition we feel uplifted. Its just a play of energy which is taking us on this ride of mood swings.

What we can do to keep in under control, start working on the basics of life. What basics which keep our life force energy uplifted and high. Keep a check of things which are the source of energy, namely food, rest, spiritual practices, good company, a inspiring read.

Food: Take good nutritious food on time. Specially at least one serving of vegetable, sprouts and fruits everyday. Take the food which keep you light and not make you lethargic or aggressive.

Rest: Take proper rest and on time rest. Sleeping late night causes such a imbalance in system and disturb the whole nervous system at subtle level at the same time causes loss in productivity at work place. So keep up with timely sleep so that you stay fresh during the day time.

Spiritual Tonic: There are few things in our life which give us strength, the strength to the self in us. I call them 'spiritual tonic' as it tones the self. Whether its meditation or any spiritual practice, have a daily dose of it everyday.

Good Company: Watch out your company. Certain people simply complain and keep cribbing about anything and every thing. These are the people who are never happy. Better stay away from them. Be with happy people. As happiness grow with happiness.

Inspiring Read: Somebody has said the inspiring books are the best friend. They never waste your time. Always gives you and you can shut them whenever you want. You don't have any obligation with books. Keep a good book always with you.

Lets work on these basics and see how it influence our life.

With the best wishes for the festive season. Merry Christmas!

All Glory to Gurudev!
With Love

Sri Sri University

Sri Sri University Formal education trains people to take up different roles in the society in pursuit of economic growth and social order. With the Indian industry poised to take off as a global economic power, the demand for skilled youth to guide and carry on this pursuit can not be underestimated. Paradoxically, it is confronted with an ever increasing number of educated youth, with mismatched skill-sets: youth with an abundance of technical knowledge but clearly lacking in focus on inner joy, initiative and creativity. Sri Sri University is an international initiative to address this anomaly by developing tomorrow's leaders, managers of change, trained to the industry requirements, with an attitude and skill-set transcending specific disciplines. Inspired by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, students will look beyond their own limitations and share bigger responsibilities as worthy citizens and brim with confidence. In them we may see not just the smartest, but the leaders,...

Focus on Problem vs Focus on Solution

Case 1 When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do...?? They used a pencil. Case 2 One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the pro...

Meditation is an art by which one go beyond the reflexive, "thinking" mind into a deeper state of relaxation or awareness where mind dissolve and pure timeless, space less, blissful consciousness BEING which is described as सत्चिदानंद satchidanand (सत् -चित्-आनंद) sat-chit-anand (Truthful-consciousness-blissful) by the enlightened MASTERS. About Meditation there are so many myths and concepts. And the truth is what you experience that is reality for you.

Now journey start as wondering mind has lost most of distractions which...
