Message for the Day…”Spiritual Discipline has the’one pointedness’ has its Ultimate aim…”

July 13, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

Sathya Sai Baba

You must be careful even in matters relating to the realisation of God. Whatever inconveniences one may encounter, one must try to carry on spiritual practices without any break or modification in the disciplines. One should not be changing the name that one has loved, cherished and selected for remembrance (smarana).Concentration is impossible if the name is changed once every few days. The mind won’t attain one-pointedness. All spiritual discipline has this one-pointedness as its ultimate aim. Therefore, avoid constant adoption and rejection of names and forms of the Lord. One single name must be used throughout for repetition of the name(japa) and meditation. One has also to get the strong conviction that all the Lord’s names and forms are but the name and form that one is repeating. Your chosen name and form must not give the slightest feeling of dislike or disaffection.

Negative Emotions Lead to Heart Attacks…How to Overcome This…?

People who experience explosive bouts of anger are at greater risk for heart disease, as well as those who harbour suppressed rage, writes Dr Haresh Mehta, consultant intervention cardiologist, Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai

Subodh’s promotion to chief manager was like living a dream. But bigger position meant bigger responsibilities and never-ending list of deadlines.

The hectic workload and continued stress took a toll on Subodh.

He started losing his temper at the most trivial of matters and eventually his disposition turned extremely temperamental and volatile.

During a crucial board meeting, Subodh experienced sudden dizziness and sweating, accompanied by mild pain in his left arm and nausea. The diagnosis appalled Subodh.

A non-smoker and non-drinker with just the right weight, he had considered himself healthy. How did he suddenly become a cardiac patient?

Humans deal with stress on a daily basis. It is unavoidable and so are the negative thoughts that arise while dealing with a nerve-wracking situation. It is more or less impossible to be any kind of professional these days and not experience frequent bouts of intense stress.

Anger, hostility and cynicism have been observed to harm your heart. These emotions quickly activate the “fight or flight response”, in which release of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, speed up your heart rate and breathing.

Frequent anger initiates the stress response within the body, causing blood sugar levels to rise, heart rate and blood pressure to increase, and this may speed up the process of atherosclerosis, in which fatty plaques build up in arteries.

Chronic stress that causes an increase in the heart rate and blood pressure may damage the walls of the artery. People who experience explosive bouts of anger are at greater risk for heart disease, as well as those who harbour suppressed rage.

Watch for signs and symptoms and pay utmost attention – these are the precursors to underlying heart trouble.

Women are more likely than men to have heart attack symptoms unrelated to chest pain, such as unusual fatigue, dizziness, sweating, upper back or abdominal discomfort and nausea.

People who experience extreme emotions such as anger and anxiety should get themselves checked for heart related diseases as they are at high risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Quick Tips

Avoid people who bring negativity or people who are constantly angry, grumpy and discouraging.
Notice how sudden bouts of anger make you feel and which events trigger those feelings so you can prepare in advance and learn to suppress the outburst as much as possible.
Take support from your loved ones. It is never too late to let them know about your worries and the reasons for your stress.
Relax by adopting techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, reading, walking.
Exercise. Physical activity alleviates stress and reduces your risk of becoming depressed. Aerobic activity lowers your level of stress chemicals and allows you to cope better with negative emotions.
Get enough sleep. Lack of sound sleep can affect your mood, mental alertness, energy level and physical health.

Message for the Day…” Faith Develops into Love , and Love Results in Concentration…”

July 11, 2015NatarajanLeave a comment

People driving cars concentrate on the road, for they are anxious to save themselves and others from accidents. Fear is what induces single-mindedness here. But Love is a greater force for achieving concentration. If you have steady and resolute love, concentration becomes intense and unshakeable. Faith develops into love, and love results in concentration. And under these conditions, prayer begins to yield fruit. Pray keeping all the waves of the mind stilled. Pray, as the performance of a duty for your very real existence, as the only justification for your coming into the world as a human. Narayana is the Lord of the Water (naaram means water). But what is the water of which He is the Lord of? He resides in the heart, and His presence when recognised melts even the stoniest heart, and water emanates from the eye as tears of joy, gratitude, and fullness! The function of your tears is not to weep like a fool or a coward but to express internal joy.

” Do You Know the Meaning of the Word ” Mortgage ” ?…..Read This !!!

The English language has roots in Ancient Greek, Latin, German, French and several more languages. Because of that, the meaning of certain words we use today have come a long way since their origins, tosometimes mean something else completely. This short list shows you some of the more bizarre origins of modern English words, many of which are quite surprising.

Bellwether” refers to a leader or a trendsetter, generally used for a products or stock that serves as an indicator of the state of the market. In old English dialect, “wether” was the name of a castrated ram, and the lead wether in a herd would usually have a bell hung around its neck, helping the herdsman could locate it.

“Arctic” comes from the Greek word “arktos”, meaning “bear”. It refers to the “Great Bear” (also known as the “Big Dipper” or Ursa Major), a constellation that remain in the same place year-round in the northern sky.

Canopy comes from the Greek word for mosquito – “konops”. The Greek referred to a bed or a couch fitted with mosquito netting as a “Kanopeion”, which eventually became “Canopy”.

The flower “Dandelion” got its name from the French “dent de lion” (the tooth of the lion), referring to the shape of the petals.

When you hear the word “Sturdy”, you think of something robust and solid, but in the 14^th century, it actually meant “unruly” or “unmanageable.” It is believed to originate from the Latin name for thrush – “turdus”. Thrushes had a tendency to eat leftover fermented grapes in wineries, making them drunk and frenzied. To this day, the French use the term soûl comme une grive, meaning “as drunk as a thrush”…

These days, “Pedigree” is used to refer to lineage or heritage, but it originally was a genealogical diagram (A family tree). French scholars in medieval times thought the connecting lines resembled a stork’s leg – “pied de grue”.

When we hear the word “Henchman”, we often associate it with the nameless guards for the main villain in a Bond movie, but the origin of the word has noble roots. “Hench” comes from the old English word “hengest” (horse), and a henchman would be a knight or a servant who would ride along a nobleman on long journeys.
