Go with the flow

How can a man's life keep its course
If he will not let it flow ?
Those who flow as life flows know
They need no other force:
They fell no wear,they fell no tear,
They need no mending, no repair
- Lao-TZU,Tao Te CHING

How Indian Spirituality Changed the West




 I am reading this book after I stumbled on  an article by the author in Huffington post.

This book explores about great yogis and gurus of past and present - from Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharishi, Jiddu krishnamurthi, Yogananda,Maharish yogi, Neemli Baba and others who  made efforts to spread vedantic annd yogic prinicples of Hinduism in  the West.  

More about the book,with photos,videos here at AMERICAN VEDA,and of course a face book page

I wish the Hindu religion as practiced in India  today stand for its high ideals.


Top 10 most inspiring convocation/graduate commencement speeches of all time.

Truly inspiring words from the Giants ,Steve Jobs, J.K.Rowling, Micheal Dell, Oprah Winfrey,Larry Page, Arnold, Ele, Prof Randy etc..

The Last Lecture - Gems of Prof Randy

Today I experienced an intense feeling after I finished reading " The last lecture " by late Dr.Randy Pausch,Professor, Carnegie Mellon.

To ruminate ,here are some gems from the book.

1.         It is importance to have specific dreams in your life

2.        The Brick walls are there for a reason.They are not there to keep us out.The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something.

3.         Not all fairy tales end smoothly

4.         The truth can set you free

5.         Time is all you have.And you may find one day that you have less than you think

6.        A professor's job is to teach students how to see their minds growing in the same way they can see their muscles grow when they look in a mirror

7.        Earnest is better than hip

8.        Don't complain,work harder

9.        Treat the disease ,not the symptom

10       Don't obsess over what people think

11.     Watch what they do,not what they say.

Survival guide- when you fall from an air plane.

Interesting. Obviously scary too.

Switch to teaching

Yes. I agree.
You reach a certain age when money is not the primary driver of your life, especially when you have a child or two. Still, you have to decide what you can live with. If you enjoy what you’re doing, it helps compensate for a lower salary.. "

It is rewarding.
