WINNER & LOSER
A winner is always a part of the answer
A loser is always a part of the problem
A winner always has a plan
A loser always has an excuse
A winner says, “Let me do it for you”
A loser says, “Its not my job”
A winner sees an answer in every problem
A loser sees a problem in every answer
A winner sees a green near every sun-drop
A loser sees a sun-drop near every green
The Winner says, “It may be difficult, but its possible”
The Loser says. “ It may be possible, but its difficult”

AND GOD SAID NO ……..
I asked God to take away my pride I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
And God said ‘NO’ And God said ‘NO’
He said it was not for him to take away He said her spirit is whole
But for me to give up Her body is only temporary
I asked God to grant me patience
And God said ‘NO’
He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation
It isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness I asked God to spare me pain
And God said ‘NO’ And God said ‘NO’
He said he gives blessings He said, “suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
Happiness is up to me and brings you closer to me
I asked God to make my spirit grow
And God said ‘NO’
He said that I must grow on my own
But he will prune me to make me fruitful
I asked God if he loved me I asked God to help me love others as much as
And God said ‘YES’ He loves me
He gave his only son who died for me And God said ,
And I will be in Heaven ‘Ah finally, you have the idea’
Someday because I believe

AURAS
The modern science has discovered PRANAMAYAKOSHA or PRANIC BODY. It was recognized by yoga long ago. The modern science has discovered the electro-structure and this electro-structure has been discovered in the plant Yoga recognized it thousands of years ago because the tradition of yoga is very old. More than five thousand years ago, yoga was in a flourishing condition. This electro-structure is known as the ETHERIC BODY or sometimes it is known as the FUNCTIONAL BODY. Surrounding this physical body of every human being, there is the etheric body which is now known in modern terms as electro-structure. The etheric body is electrical in nature. Since it is electrical, yoga describes it luminous like lightning. The etheric body sends out radiation of force - both positive and negative, short and long vibrations. The appearance of these vibrations outside the physical body is known as AURA. The aura depends upon the etheric body. The aura of an individual may be strong or it may be weak. It all depends upon the etheric body. The appearance of vibrations issuing from the etheric body is known as aura. Aura surrounds the physical body. So, in aura there are different colours. He who is clairvoyant can read your aura and what predominant colour it contains. The nature of a human being depends upon the colour of the aura. Suppose, your aura is crimson in colour, it means that you have more energy. Let us speak later about the colours. This much is true, the aura surrounds the physical body of a human being and the strength or weakness of the aura depends upon the etheric body. The etheric body is a field of energy which maintains every atom and cell of the physical body. Therefore, the etheric body is known as the ARCHETYPAL BODY upon which the physical body stands.
There are three main functions of the etheric body:
1. It acts as the receiver of energy,
2. It acts as the assimilator of energy,
3. It acts as the transmitter of energy.
Reception, assimilation and transmission are the three main functions of the etheric body. These energies, having passed through the chakras, act upon the nervous system of the body. The nervous system gives stimulus to the endocrine glands and the endocrine glands secrete hormones. They get mixed with the blood stream. Then these hormones determine the nature and character of man. Please, remember that chakras do exist in the etheric body, not in the physical body. Of course, chakras are there. They have close correspondence with the system of seven glands in the body. Chakra means a FORCE CENTRE or a FOCAL POINT in the etheric body. Then, there are seven chakras: Muladhara, Swadisthana, Manipuraka, Anahata, Vishuddhi, Agneya, Sahasrara. Corresponding to these seven chakras in the etheric body are seven glands in the physical body.
Chakras in the Etheric Body--
Chakras and corresponding colours-
Chakras have their colours and these colours follow the pattern of the rainbow. The colours of the rainbow are known as VIBGYOR. That means the rainbow consists of seven colours: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. It is known as VIBGYOR, the short term for the seven colours. Muladhara chakra is red, Swadisthana is orange, Manipuraka chakra is yellow, Anahata chakra is green, Vishuddhi is blue, the chakra which resides in the centre between the eyebrows or Bhrumadhy (Ajna) is indigo and Sahasrara is violet. The rainbow is the most significant symbol of the world because it represents the whole Universe. In the Bible Christ has said: "I do set my bow in the clouds for it is the token of the covenant between God and the Earth." "Bow" means the rainbow. That is why the rainbow which you often see on a cloud is so important. It is significant in the sense that it represents the whole Universe. Now the question arises: why does the rainbow consist of seven colours, seven cosmic colours or seven rays? Why do we speak of seven colours or seven rays when there are innumerable rays in the Universe? You know ultraviolet and infrared? For us only the seven colours are visible and they are visible to us through the spectrum. But there are innumerable colours. Kurma-purana says that there are innumerable colours. From violet to red these colours are visible. But even above violet there's ultraviolet. Infrared is below red. Science has recognized that there are innumerable rays which compose the body of God, but only seven rays have been singled out. Since only seven colours are visible, sometimes they are known as tangible (tangible-intangible, visible-invisible). Not only that. These seven colours are the matrix of the seven planets.
Just as each chakra has its own colour, similarly each chakra has its own number of petals.
In Muladhara there are 4 petals.
n Swadisthana there are 6 petals.
In Manipuraka there are 10 petals.
Anahata there are 12 petals.
Vishuddhi there are 16 petals.
In Bhrumadhya (center between the eye-brows) or Ajna there are 2 petals. 2 means 48 on one side and 48 on the other side, so it amounts to 96. We see only 2 petals but really speaking 48 plus 48 gives 96.
Then, when we come to Sahasrara it becomes 960. Again in Sahasrara there's one chakra which contains 12 petals. So, 960 plus 12 gives 972. That is what is known as Sahasrara - about 1000 petals. In the centre of Sahasrara there are 12 petals. They are violet in colour.
What is the meaning of petals? When we say that Adhara chakra has 4 petals, what does it mean? Just as the lotus flower has its petals, similarly, each chakra is conceived as a flower, lotus flower. Just as the lotus flower has its petals, so each chakra has its own petals, too. What do we mean by petals here? Petals are nothing but VIBRATIONS! The lowermost chakra is Adhara. It has only four petals, it means only four vibrations. It is very slow. When we come to Swadisthana, the number of petals is 6, and 6 vibrations. Manipuraka chakra 10 petals or 10 vibrations. Anahata 12, Vishuddhi 16, Agneya 96. Sahasrara vibrates with vertiginous rapidity (speed). 972 is the exact number of petals, i.e. vibrations but let us say 1000. That means it has a very great number of vibrations. That is why, says yoga, the pineal gland is the seat of cosmic thought. Similarly, there's an organ for thought because man is a thinking being. Man is a rational being. Thoughts have great power but only when your thoughts are one-pointed, definite and persistent, they become powerful. Pineal gland is an organ for thought. Now the pineal gland is very slow and our thoughts are fleeting, indefinite, they have no power. When through intense practice the pineal gland begins to vibrate, then it releases light and you can see the light also. One more thing is this, since the pineal gland begins to vibrate with vertiginous rapidity, with rapid speed, what happens? Thought power rises to N-th degree and cosmic intelligence begins to function.
The Chart of Chakras
Each chakra has its colour and petals. Petal means vibration. Each chakra has its own planet. The planet itself is a presiding deity. In some yogic books chakras are given symbols, but they are all imaginary. The real cosmic truth is that each chakra has its own planet as a presiding deity. First is Sun, then Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus Saturn or in Sanskrit Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Guru, Shukra, Sheni. Each chakra has its own fragrance, this is true. There are seven flowers also but it is difficult to name the flowers and the fragrance because there are so many differences.
There may also be other symbols (Ganapati or lion, serpent etc.) but they are all imaginary. This is universal. The planets are universal. The first chakra - Muladhara, the presiding deity is the Sun, the colour is red. So, it is said that Surya or Sun is nothing but red colour concentrate. According to Yoga-shastra - Surya is nothing but red colour concentrate. Then the second - Swadisthana, its presiding deity is the Moon. The Moon is the orange colour concentrate. Then the third - Manipuraka chakra, the presiding deity is Mars, yellow in colour, yellow colour concentrate. Anahata, the presiding deity is Budha, green colour concentrate. Vishuddhi chakra, the presiding deity is Jupiter or Guru, blue colour concentrate. Agneya chakra, the presiding deity or planet is Venus or Shukra, indigo colour concentrate. Sahasrara chakra, the presiding deity or planet is Saturn or Shani, violet colour concentrate.
Now, recently there has been the renaissance of yoga. Though its tradition is very old, it is now being revived. People all over the world are taking interest in yoga. So, there has been the renaissance or rebirth of yoga during the recent past, about 3-4 decades ago. This renaissance or rebirth has taken three major directions:
1. There has been an establishment of relation between Yoga and Vedanta.
2. There's a spread of yoga, both in India and abroad, with its attendant benefits.
3. There's an application of yoga as preventive and curative therapy for diseases of both the body and the mind.
This brings us to the problem of the relationship between yoga and the medical science. Nowadays the application of yoga as preventive and curative therapy is in much practice. The aim of yoga and of the medical science is to achieve the optimal physical health and mental peace through preventive, curative and formative measures. The doctors often say that prevention is always better than cure. Yoga does admit it - it says, "It's true, prevention is always better than cure." But yoga lays more stress on the formative measures of health. Medical science does not lay so much emphasis upon the formative measures, just as yoga does. All the measures you can have by the practice of asanas and pranayama. That is why asanas and pranayama are given so much importance because yoga lays stress on the formative, preventive and curative measures. The scientific evidence gained by experiments both in India and abroad demonstrates that the yogic KRIYAS (asanas, pranayama) result in the improvement of the functioning of different systems in the body. There are different systems in the body - the nervous system, the circulatory system, respiratory system, cardio-vascular system, gastro-intestinal system. These are different systems in the human body. Yogic kriyas or yogic exercises exert their influence upon all the different systems in the human body. The normal homoeo condition of the body is maintained more by the yogic exercises than by drugs. By yogic exercises you can improve the work of all the systems in the body, gradually. You can do some asanas, a little pranayama and then meditation. All these we call yogic kriyas or yogic exercises. They exert their influence upon all the systems in the human body. These are not my views, this article I found to my liking hence, putting it in my Blog so that others can also read and find it very interesting.
There are three main functions of the etheric body:
1. It acts as the receiver of energy,
2. It acts as the assimilator of energy,

Lateral Thinking....
Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter.
So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter.Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter.
He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. He then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag.Now, imagine that you were standing in the field.What would you have done if you were the girl?If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the money-lender as a cheat.3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.Take a moment to ponder over the story.The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking.Think of the consequences if she chooses the above logical answers.What would you recommend to the Girl to do? .... C below!!Well, here is what she did ....
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles."Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.MORAL OF THE STORY:
Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't attempt to think.

18 WAYS TO IMMUNE YOUR BODY
Chances are you haven’t given much thought lately to fortifying your body’s inner defences against viruses, bacteria and toxins. However, restoring the disease-busting tools nature gave you and getting your immune system into black-belt shape can be as easy as singing your heart out and eating the right foods. “The immune system is a big, big language that we are just beginning to understand,” explains Dr. Judah Denburg, a Canadaian clinical immunologist. Drawing on latest research, here are some ideas to get you started:
1. Call a friend Chatting with pals may trigger positive emotions. Laughing and confiding reduce the body’s levels of cortisol, a harmone known to suppress the immune system.
2. Cook some liver and onions Liver brings with immune boosting selenium, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, folic acid, and vitamin B-6 and B-12. Try some chicken liver with water chestnuts and lean beacons.
3. Relax with a crossword puzzle Stimulating brain parts that handle memory, judgment and abstract thought may elevate levels of T-cells (white cells hunting down the viruses having been able to enter the body).
4. Make love, fight bugs. Individuals having sex once or twice a week may have higher levels of immunoglobulin-A, a virus fighting antibody developed and secreted by B-Cells.
5. Get lots of shut eye
Special immune boosting functions come into play when you sleep. If you are not
getting around seven to eight hours a night, - and most of us aren’t, your chance of
getting sick may increase.
6. Balance your belly
Stress, alcohol and a poor diet can alter intestinal bacteria and weaken our bug fighting
ability or “good” bacteria may right this imbalance. You can find them in curds or in powder form at health food stores.
7. Do you need iron?
Women of child bearing age are more likely to be deficient in this immune building
mineral than in any other. Be sure not to get more than 45 milligrams of iron a day
from your food or a supplement, however, as excess iron can be toxic.
8. Choose water, not soft drinks.
Chugging water keeps germ-trapping mucous membranes moist and effective. It will
also make you feel more energetic overall.
9. Munch on wheat bran
In cereals and baked goods, it contains immune strengthening magnesium, selenium
and zinc. A daily dose of wheat bran also lowers levels of estradiol, a female sex
hormone linked to hormone dependent cancers.
10. Watch a funny movie
Laughter may boost the immune system and diminish immune suppressing cortisol.
11. Hold the cocktails.
But if you drink alcohol, raise a glass of red wine. Although most alcohol is known to
stifle the immune system, preliminary studies suggest that red wine may not. Plus,
red wine offers heart healthy and potentially immune enhancing antioxidants.
12. Swing your hips.
Walking at a good clip for 45 minutes a day, five days a week, rouses the immune
system and slashes your risk of illness by almost half. And be sure to wear a
walkman while you walk. Music may heighten immune function because listening can
raise immunoglobulin-A levels.
13. Update your work skills
Feeling unqualified or blaming yourself for career failures may weaken immune
function. Revamping your skills and being realistic about what you can control may
increase job satisfaction and reduce stress.
14. Seek the shade The sun’s UVA and UVB rays can reduce immunity by depleting T-Cells and immune activating skin cells.
15. Sample some seafood
Whatever the dish, seafood contains iron, zinc, selenium, copper and magnesium
that do your immune system good.
16. Get a massage. Massage therapists say certain treatments prevent gridlock in lymph vessels, the immune circulatory system. Immunologists caution that although massage may
alleviate immune-inhibiting stress, there are no convincing studies to prove it. Still if
it feels good, go for it.
17. Pray or meditate
This can reduce stress and help you get better when you’re ill, but you must make it
a meaningful part of your routine.
18. Sing with your family or join a choir
Singing significantly increases salivary levels of immunoglobulin-A. So, it isadvantageous to warm those pipes.
1. Call a friend Chatting with pals may trigger positive emotions. Laughing and confiding reduce the body’s levels of cortisol, a harmone known to suppress the immune system.
2. Cook some liver and onions Liver brings with immune boosting selenium, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, folic acid, and vitamin B-6 and B-12. Try some chicken liver with water chestnuts and lean beacons.

But if you drink alcohol, raise a glass of red wine. Although most alcohol is known to
stifle the immune system, preliminary studies suggest that red wine may not. Plus,
red wine offers heart healthy and potentially immune enhancing antioxidants.
12. Swing your hips.
Walking at a good clip for 45 minutes a day, five days a week, rouses the immune
system and slashes your risk of illness by almost half. And be sure to wear a
walkman while you walk. Music may heighten immune function because listening can
raise immunoglobulin-A levels.
13. Update your work skills
Feeling unqualified or blaming yourself for career failures may weaken immune
function. Revamping your skills and being realistic about what you can control may
increase job satisfaction and reduce stress.
14. Seek the shade The sun’s UVA and UVB rays can reduce immunity by depleting T-Cells and immune activating skin cells.
15. Sample some seafood
Whatever the dish, seafood contains iron, zinc, selenium, copper and magnesium
that do your immune system good.
16. Get a massage. Massage therapists say certain treatments prevent gridlock in lymph vessels, the immune circulatory system. Immunologists caution that although massage may
alleviate immune-inhibiting stress, there are no convincing studies to prove it. Still if
it feels good, go for it.
17. Pray or meditate
This can reduce stress and help you get better when you’re ill, but you must make it
a meaningful part of your routine.
18. Sing with your family or join a choir
Singing significantly increases salivary levels of immunoglobulin-A. So, it isadvantageous to warm those pipes.
15 Spectacular tricks to teach your body.......
1.) If you've got an itch in your throat, scratch your ear. When the
nerves in the ear get stimulated, they create a reflex in the throat that causes a muscle spasm, which cures the itch.
2.) Having trouble hearing someone at a party or on the phone? Use your right ear...it's better at picking up rapid speech. But, the left is better at picking up music tones.
3.) If you need to relieve yourself BADLY, but you're not anywhere near a bathroom, fantasize about RELATIONS. That preoccupies your brain and distracts it.
4.) Next time the doctor's going to give you an injection, COUGH as the needle is going in. The cough raises the level of pressure in your spinal canal, which limits the pain sensation as it tries to travel to your brain.
5.) Clear a stuffed nose or relieve sinus pressure by pushing your
tongue against the roof of your mouth...then pressing a finger
between your eyebrows. Repeat that for 20 seconds...it causes the vomer bone to rock, which loosens your congestion and clears you up.
6.) If you ate a big meal and you're feeling full as you go to sleep,
lay on your left side. That'll keep you from suffering from acid
reflux...it keeps your stomach lower than your esophagus, which will help keep stomach acid from sliding up your throat.
7.) You can stop a toothache by rubbing ice on the back of your hand, on the webbed area between your thumb and index finger. The nerve pathways there stimulate a part of the brain that blocks pain signals from your mouth.
8.) If you get all messed up on liquor, and the room starts spinning, put your hand on something stable. The reason: Alcohol dilutes the blood in the part of your ear called the cupula, which regulates balance. Putting your hand on something stable gives your brain another reference point, which will help make the world stop spinning.
9.) Stop a nose bleed by putting some cotton on your upper
gums...right behind the small dent below your nose...and press against
it hard. Most of the bleeding comes from the cartilage wall that
divides the nose, so pressing there helps get it to stop.
10.) Nervous? Slow your heart rate down by blowing on your thumb.
The vagus nerve controls your heart rate, and you can calm it down by breathing.
11.) Need to breathe underwater for a while??? Instead of taking a huge breath, HYPERVENTILATE before you go under, by taking a bunch of short breaths. That'll trick your brain into thinking it has more oxygen, and buy you about 10 extra seconds.
12.) You can prevent BRAIN FREEZE by pressing your tongue flat
against the roof of your mouth, covering as much surface area as
possible. Brain freeze happens because the nerves in the roof of your mouth get extremely cold, so your brain thinks your whole body is cold. It compensates by overheating...which causes your head to hurt.
By warming up the roof of your mouth, you'll chill your brain and feel better.
13.) If your hand falls asleep, rock your head from side to side.
That'll wake your hand or arm up in less than a minute. Your hand
falls asleep because of the nerves in your neck compressing...so
loosening your neck is the cure. If your foot falls asleep, that's
governed by nerves lower in the body, so you need to stand up and walk around.
14.) Finally, this one's totally USELESS, but a nice trick. Have
someone stick their arm out to the side, straight, palm down. Press down on his wrist with two fingers. He'll resist, and his arm will stay horizontal. Then, have him put his foot on a surface that's half an inch off the ground, like a stack of magazines, and do the trick again.
Because his spine position is thrown off, his arm will fall right to his side, no matter how much he tries to resist.
15.) Got the hiccups? Press thumb and second finger over youreyebrows until the hiccups are over - usually shortly.

7 dont's after a meal
* Don't smoke-Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher). * Don't eat fruits immediately - Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore take fruit 1-2 hr after meal or 1hr before meal. * Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid.This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest. * Don't loosen your belt - Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted &blocked. * Don't bathe - Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach. * Don't walk about - People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake. * Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine. FINALLY DONT JUST KEEP THIS .... PLEASE FORWARD IT TO YOUR FRIENDS. LET THEM BE AWARE!! .

Breathing Theraphy
Breathing Therapy The nose has a left and a right side; we use both to inhale and exhale. Actually they are different; you would be able to feel the difference. The right side represents the sun, left side represents the moon. During a headache, try to close your right nose and use your left nose to breathe. In about 5 mins, your headache will be gone? If you feel tired, just reverse, close your left nose and breathe through your right nose. After a while, you will feel your mind is refreshed. Right side belongs to 'hot', so it gets heated up easily, left side belongs to 'cold'. Most females breathe with their left noses, so they get "cooled off" faster. Most of the guys breathe with their right noses, they get worked up. Do you notice the moment we wake up, which side breathes faster? Left or right? ? If left is faster, you will feel tired. So, close your left nose and use your right nose for breathing, you will get refreshed quickly. This can be taught to kids, but it is more effective when practised by adults.
