Message for the Day…” Only one who has so filled themselves with love and who lives in the light of that love deserves to be called human.”

Humans are full of love (prema). Their hearts are springs of mercy. They are endowed with true speech. Peace is the characteristic of the mind of humans. It is the innate quality of the mind. Do not search for peace outside. Just as gold and silver lie hidden under the earth, and pearl and coral under the sea, peace and joy lie hidden in the activities of the mind. If you desire to acquire these hidden treasures, dive deep and turn your mental activities inward, you will become full of love. Only one who has so filled themselves with love and who lives in the light of that love deserves to be called human. Those devoid of love are demons and monsters. Within every man, the holy quality of love is ever present, without change. It is one and indivisible. Those saturated with love are incapable of spite, selfishness, injustice, wrong, and misconduc

Meet Pranav Dhanawde – the kid who scored 1009 runs in one innings !!!

Pranav

His mother Mohini Prashant Dhanavde was in tears when Pranav scored 1000. “I would have never imagined that my son would make a world record. I remember scolding him so that he would concentrate on his studies more than cricket,” she said.

“My next goal is to be selected for under-19,” says 15-year-old Pranav Dhanawde who created a world record by scoring 1009 runs in 323 balls. The match was held between KC Gandhi School and Arya Gurukul School in which the later team scored 52/9 in 14.5 overs and KC Gandhi scored 1465/3 wickets in 94 overs.

The match was part of the under-16 Bhandari Trophy Inter-School Tournament organised by Mumbai Cricket Academy. On the first day, Pranav scored 652 not out in 199 balls and played for 5 hours on Kalyan’s Wayle Nagar’s Union Cricket Academy.

Pranav’s father Prashant Dhanawde who is an auto driver could not contain his joy. “Although I drive an auto, I have never stopped my son from achieving success. Last night when he broke world record by scoring 652, he told me that next day he will score 1000 and he did it,” said Prashant.

“I am fortunate to have parents who have understood my dream and supported me. Yesterday, I had not think about making a world record but as I completed 500 runs, I became more confident. Now, I want to get selected for under-19 team,” said Paranav Dhanavde. Pranav’s coach Harish Sharma said: “He is always focussed and a hard-hitting batsman. He was on 6th position but I decided to make him the opening batsmen and he didn’t prove me wrong.”

“Congrats #PranavDhanawade on being the first ever to score 1000 runs in an innings. Well done and work hard. You need to scale new peaks!” tweeted Sachin Tendulkar. Dhanawade, who opened the innings against Arya Gurukul School, had gone past Arthur Collins’ 628 not out, the previous highest in minor cricket scored in 1899 in England, on Monday. The son of an autorickshaw driver, Dhanawade had also gone past the highest individual score by an Indian in minor cricket, a record previously held by Prithvi Shaw who scored 546 in the Harris Shield in 2013-14.

Message for the Day….” The fog of illusion melts away with the touch of Rays of God’s Grace…”

Temples are invitations and signboards directing people to their Divine home. Temples are intended to instruct people in the art of removing the veil of attachment that lies over their heart. That is why Tyagaraja cried in the temple at Tirupathi, “Remove the veil within me, the veil of pride and hate.” The fog of illusion (maya) melted away with the touch of the rays of grace. Then he sang out describing the image of divine charm in the song, “Sivudavo Madhavudavo”; he drank deep the sweetness of that form. The churning of his heart by the divine formula produced the spark of wisdom(jnana), and it grew into the flame of realisation. On one occasion, Lord Sri Ramachandra spoke thus: “Dawn breaks and dusk falls. With dawn, greed awakes in people; with dusk, lust gets hold of them. Is this to be your goal and way of life? With every passing day, you are nearing one step closer towards the cave of death, missing precious opportunities. Do you ever worry over a wasted day?”

Message for the Day….””Cultivate an ounce of pure devotion! That is sufficient for you to be awakened from the delusion…”

Many dull-witted moderns are puzzled at the purpose of all the constructions and conditions, conventions and customs that revolve around the temple. They cannot grasp the significance of any answer because it is beyond their limited understanding. A patient suffering from high fever will find even sweet things bitter; so too, those afflicted with the high fever of worldliness can never taste the real sweetness of truth. The fever must subside; then they can appreciate the value of the things of the spirit. Similarly if you deny yourself of the bliss derivable from surrender to the Lord, and run about madly pursuing sacred spots, sages, and holy rivers, how can you be helped? Cultivate an ounce of pure devotion! That is sufficient for you to be awakened from this delusion! Devotion will teach you that you can attain peace only by returning to your own native home, which is God within you. Until then, homesickness will haunt!

” The Fantastic Sinking Boat …” !

Love-love is a perpetually sinking boat created by French artist Julien Berthier. The boat appears to be sinking but never actually does, thanks to its clever design.

For this piece he adapted an abandoned 6.5 meter yacht so that it appears to be perpetually sinking. To create this, the vessel was split and a new keel was constructed allowing it to be sailed by Berthier at a 45 degree angle off the coast of Normandy.

 

sinking-boat (9)

In this project, the artist invests his energies and resources into creating an art of fiasco, aiming in his words to “fix an object at the moment of its deregulation.” The image, and metaphor of the sinking ship is an iconic one – it signifies death, lost hope and sinking dreams. Berthier’s Love-Love freezes those sentiments permanently both celebrating and overturning them. On display in the gallery will be the boat itself as well as a series of accompanying photographs and documentary video showing the performance in Normandy.

The boat now belongs to some wealthy London Banker to whom he sold it for £50,000.

” Did You Know that You Speak 3 Different Languages….? “

Few people know that when you encounter a problem without a solution, the best way to deal with it is to think about it in another language. When you use another language, your thinking patterns are different to how you contemplate problems in your mother tongue. But whatever your mother tongue is, think about it as three separate languages: The way you speak when you’re positive, negative, and neutral.

Whenever you’re in one of these states of mind, your thinking and speaking patterns differ. This led experts to name these three language variations Positivese, Negativese, and Neutralese. These all have their time and place, but do you know when to use each one? Here are eight tips that’ll teach you when to use which language.

3 Languages

1. Acknowledge That You Speak in 3 Languages

Just like everyone else, your vocabulary is different when you’re praising someone, criticizing them, or are ambivalent towards them. Acknowledge that you react differently in every situation, and use different vocabulary to convey messages depending on the situation. We all do this subconsciously, but try to be aware when it’s happening. Once you understand that the language you use affects your decisions or the message you try to convey to others, you’ll be able to adjust it to work for you.

2. Don’t Try to Ignore the Negativese

People might tell you that being negative is a bad thing, and only dishonest people will claim they don’t have an ounce of negativity in them. These people will tell you that if you practice enough, you’ll stop being negative, and that this is what you’re supposed to do, because there’s no reason to stay in that state of mind. This attitude is flawed because it is impossible to completely avoid negative feelings. We all experience them and at times they can even be useful. The question is not whether you allow negativity into your life, but rather when and why.

Many a time you think you’re being neutral, but still express negative emotions. This usually happens by saying things like “I don’t mean to be negative, but…”, as if by declaring you’re not being negative you convince yourself that is how you really feel. When you avoid negative feelings and negative language, you end up lying to yourself – a prime example of not knowing what language you’re truly speaking.

Accept negative emotions and don’t suppress them, because you have to be in touch with your emotions to be able to convey a specific message. No matter how you phrase it, whatever you have to say will be negative, so at least be honest with yourself.

3. Don’t Pretend You’re Neutral When You Aren’t

People often pretend that they’re neutral observers, and this is easy to understand. Being objective gives you power – lawyers are paid to take one side or the other, while judges are impartial, and that’s why they have the final say in  legal matters. Pretending to be neutral makes you feel like you get the final say in a matter, but you’re not a judge or jury, and the person you’re talking to is not (usually) a lawyer. They’re not paid to side one way or another. If you support your own argument sensibly, the other person should be inclined to listen to it, whether they agree with it or not.

4. Use Neutralese Wisely

As a rule of thumb, when you decide to use neutralese, immediately try change your thinking and speaking into positivese to strengthen your decision, and negativese to rule out alternative options. Once you’ve explored these fields of thought, go back to neutralese.

This is the best way to come to an educated decision that focuses on your aspirations. After weighing up all the alternatives, you’re left with the best choice of action for you.

5. Use the “Carrot and Stick” Method Correctly

When you try to motivate others, you often use the carrot and the stick method – reward and punishment. Both are effective, but they can also backfire. While rewards encourage action, it also encourages complacency. This is why teachers don’t tell their students that they’ll all get A’s by the end of the year. Sure, it can give students the confidence to try without the fear of failing, but they can also think “why try harder? I’m going to succeed anyway.” On the other hand, punishments can deter, paralyze, and even create resentment, which is why teachers also won’t say “I’ll give everyone here, except for the top-5 students an F”. This can cause students to think that “I’m not good enough, so I might as well quit.”

The punishment and reward method can be used to motivate, but it can also have the opposite effect, so be careful when you use it. When you want to reward someone, use positivese, and like any other reward – it should be given after the task has been completed, and done well. If you need to dispense a punishment, use negativese, but only after the fact. Up to that point, use neutral language.

6. Be Careful Not to Jump Between Positivese and Negativese

When you try and motivate someone, you need to create the correct combination of positive, negative, and neutral languages. If you start with the positive language (“Well done, I see you’ve improved!”) it may lead to complacency. Alternatively, you can try negativese (“This is not as good as what you’ve done before”) but if it leads to fear or resentment, you’ll go back to positivese. If you use this back and forth method with children, telling them they’re doing well, only to then give them a negative response when they become complacent, you’ll confuse them and probably hear “But you said I was doing better”.

Try stick to one approach, both when you’re being positive or negative. If you choose positive reinforcements, continue giving them unless the improvement stops. If that happens, don’t automatically go with the negative approach, but rather stick to the neutral one. If you use the negative approach from the get-go, stick to it and use the neutral approach when the negative is not needed. If you see that after a while your approach isn’t working – it may be time to change it.

 

7. You Build Your Own Maze Walls

Think of life as running through a maze you have been creating. When you try and motivate yourself, negativity appears as the walls that block the way, while positivity is the paths that lead you to your goals. If you can’t decide if your path is the right one, or has a dead end, try being neutral with yourself.

Don’t try think there are no walls, and that you can go wherever you want, because you’ll end up wandering around, lost and confused. There are always paths that are better than the others, to find them, you have to accept the fact that the walls exist and you just need to navigate them correctly.

Sometimes, using negative language to erect walls and push yourself in the right way works, but if you use it too often, you’ll find that you’ve walled off all of your paths and you become stuck. If you’re at that place, feeling stuck, turn to the neutral language. Neutralese will lead you around the maze and give you a better understanding of the path you’re on: “What is it that I truly want to do? Which choices will lead to dead ends? Which path is the one I should be walking?” Once you’ve realized what you want to do and where you wish to go, go back to being positive and let it carry you forward.

8. Get to Know the Vocabulary of Each Language

Any word in neutralese can be translated into positivese or negativese. When you stick to your decisions, in positivese it translates to commitment and perseverance. In negativese it translates to stubbornness and nay-saying. Similarly, changing your mind will translate to “flexibility” in the positive, and “indecisiveness” in the negative language.

The more you understand the volcabulary of each language, the better you can control your decisions. It will make you more resilient to people who try to discourage you with opposing opinions. Once you know your reasons for what it is that you’re doing, you can be at peace with your decisions, but can remain open enough to accept criticism.

As you see, every language is basically comprised of 3 variations, which we all use every day without even being aware of it. Learn to differentiate between the languages you speak when you’re trying to make a decision or trying to influence another person. You may have been doing it for years without realizing it, but now that you have the tools to understand it, you’ll finally be able to achieve your goals.

New Year money tips for your child……..!!!

The over-concerned species that we parents are, New Year is a great time to ensure that we leave our children with something to learn by, says Murad Nathani

It’s the time of new beginnings and new resolutions. While some resolutions fade out in the course of the year, some are successfully carried out; those which stay close to our hearts and which truly make a difference to our lives! So how about starting off the New Year with conversations that can make a difference to your child’s life, in the long run?

I am talking about talking to them on the topic of money in a way that they understand the importance of good money habits early on in their lives. Here is a low-down on the conversations you must have with your child on the big ‘M’:

Understanding Money

The younger your children are, the bigger their demands are. What they lack is a basic understanding of money and which is precisely what they need to learn. No, we don’t want them to become too concerned about money either but let’s say, a hands-on experiential learning would help a great deal.

For starters, a learning tip in this direction would be allowing your child to pay at the toy store or grocery, so that they can see the physical transaction take place, thereby helping them learn the value of a certain amount and what you got them for that amount.

In addition to this, it is essential that they learn, all money spent is money earned in exchange for work and therefore needs to be spent a little more carefully.

Managing Money

Once your child understands the basics of barter and what a certain amount of money can buy them, you can take the conversation a notch higher. A pre-teen or a teenager influenced by peer pressure may come to you not with demands on what they are doing, but rather what their friends are doing. A strong realisation between wants and needs is therefore required at this stage.

As a parent, you don’t want to turn your child down with a straight no, but give them the explanation behind your ‘no’.

Moreover, many parents are from the school of thought that they should give their child what they didn’t get when they were younger. This may however not be the right approach if it is not well-balanced with an understanding of money.

In the conflict of being a parent versus a friend, it is essential that one strikes the right balance. You could work towards an understanding where you make sure what they ask for is relevant at that age or if they can make better use of it when they are a little older. You can also ask them to set a certain goal or target to achieve, either a financial or non-financial goal to help them understand how to achieve something by working towards it.

Smart Money Management

As your child begins to grasp a better understanding of money, the next step is to learn the next level of money management. To learn how to better manage their money as young adults, and learn the art of budgeting and how to spend within a certain limit.

Investments and credit should also become a greater part of their vocabulary here. It’s not anymore only about how much they save and spend, but also about building their own financially independent future.

Remember, the topic of money is not part of their school or college curriculum and hence it is difficult for our children to identify what is the next step for them. For teens especially, it shouldn’t be that they step into college and don’t know what goes where in managing their finances!

Planning at the start of the month along with different needs and requirements corresponding to the amount of money is just one step in this direction, but what about paying back on time, the dynamics of credit?

Or do they know the role of credit institutions and how it could impact their ability in future to get a loan? Decisions made based on a lack of sound financial knowledge can potentially affect the success of a child’s future.

Hence, it is essential that your child is actively involved in the understanding of money management from spending and saving to managing and investing.
