જળક્રાંતિ ટ્રસ્ટ(મનસુખભાઇ સુવાગીયા) આયોજીત “ગોવિજ્ઞાન અને આરોગ્ય પરિસંવાદ”માં ડો. પાંચાભાઇ દમણિયા(એમ.ડી. આયુર્વેદ, ઉના)નું “ગાય” વિષર પરનું અદભૂતમ કહી શકાય તેવુ વક્તવ્ય સાંભળ્યુ. આ ડોક્ટર સાહેબને કેટલાય શાસ્ત્રો જાણે સાવ મોઢે છે. વક્તવ્યમાં કેટકેટલાય શાસ્ત્રોનાં પ્રમાણો ટાંકીને તેમણે ગાયના દુધ, ઘી, મુત્ર, છાસ વગેરે વિશે જે અતિ ઉપયોગી છણાવટ કરેલ તે ન ભૂતો ન ભવિષ્યતિ જેવી બની રહી.

આટલુ અગાધ જ્ઞાન! ખાલી વાતો હોય તો ઇમ્પ્રેસ ના થવાય. તેમણે ગાયના ઘી અને પીપળાના પાનની રેમેડી દ્રારા ૧૦૦૦ જેટલા નિ:સંતાન દંપતિઓને ખોળો ખૂંદનાર સંતાનની પ્રાપ્તિ કરાવી છે. તેના સિવાય આવી તો કેટલીય આયુર્વેદિક રેમેડી તેમજ પ્રયોગો અને તેના સફળ અનુભવોનું વર્ણન કર્યુ.

આયુર્વેદમાં ચમત્કારીક કહી શકાય તેવી જે તાકાત છે તે ડો. દમણિયા સાહેબ પાસેથી સાંભળવા મળી. આપણી પ્રાચીન(પરંતુ ડેવલપ્ડ) સંસ્કૃતિનાં આવા વાહકનું પણ જતન(સન્માનો નહી) થવુ જોઇએ અને તેમનાં જ્ઞાન અને અનુભવનો ઉપયોગ વધારેમાં વધારે લોકો સુધી પહોંચવા જોઇએ. મનસુખભાઇ સુવાગીયાએ ખરેખર એક ઉમદા પહેલ કરી છે. આયુર્વેદ જેવા અઘરા વિષયને પણ “પરીણાત્મક” રીતે રજુ કરીને ડો. દમણિયાએ તેને રસમય બનાવી દિધુ.

ભારતીય સંસ્કૃતિએ જગતને ગોદર્શન-શાસ્ત્રો-શિક્ષણ-કળા-યોગ અને આયુર્વેદની અજોડ ભેટ આપી છે. જીવન-કૃષિ-સંસ્કૃતિ અને રાષ્ટ્રના કેન્દ્રમાં ગાય છે અને આયુર્વેદ જગતની ચિકીત્સા પધ્ધતિની જનેતા છે. ગોવિજ્ઞાન અને આયુર્વેદના આરાધક ડો. પાંચાભાઇ દમણિયા (એમ.ડી.- આયુર્વેદ, ઉના)એ આયુર્વેદમાં એમ.ડી.ની ડીગ્રી પ્રાપ્ત કર્યા બાદ આયુર્વેદના તમામ ગ્રંથો, ચાર વેદ, છ દર્શનશાસ્ત્રો, રામાયણ, શ્રીમદ ભાગવત, મહાભારત અને ૧૮ પુરાણોમાં સમાયેલ ગોજ્ઞાનની આરાધના કરીને આરોગ્ય ક્ષેત્રે અજોડ સંશોધનો કર્યા છે.

Khodabapa speaking on “Naam” – a spiritual discourse

We see dreams, almost every night. Most of the time, when we wake up, we don’t remember the dream in detail. But sometimes dreams are so strong that, even after we are out of bed, our mind is occupied with the highlights of the dream. There is a science of dream, which tells that every dream has a meaning. What you see and what you experience in dream has a meaning and sometimes a message related to your future. Well, I came across two such websites where in which you can get the interpretation of your dream.

1. http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/

This is an A to Z dream dictionary. You can search by letter. For example, if you saw rain in the dream, you can click on the “R” and find out what does it mean seeing rain in the dream.

2. http://astrology.raftaar.in/Astro/Dream-Meaning/

Almost same site but with difference that the words are given in Hindi language too. So useful for Indians.

Take a look at this table. You can click on the words which relates to your dream. Each word will have other sub-words. And then there will be a one-line meaning or interpretation of your dream.

It’s fun to know what does your dream mean.

So what dream did you see last night?

“Competition” is a process between entities, where they contest i.e try to prove their superiority over other in some way or the other. Entities can be individuals, groups, organisation or even ideologies.

“Competition” has been a great driving force for evolution, since it leads to an enforced action. It keeps us interested, involved and more importantly working, thereby not allowing us to relax or stagnate. Human beings have a natural tendency to compete, to prove their mettle and as a result competition has played a great role in human development.

However, unfortunately the nature of competition degrades as fierceness increases. Ethics, fairness take a backseat and the only objective is to “win”, this lead to an undeserved satisfaction for winner and the loser, who otherwise believed in fairness, is forced to adapt evil practices. Thus the propagation of forced unethical practices. This is because we treat win as just win, we never recognize or appreciate the nature of it. (All this is said with the assumption there is an honest way of competing and in most of the cases there is.)

To win a fierce competition fairly, is far more respectable and difficult, than to just win it. In addition to this, fierce competition can have a paradoxical effect as it reduces the scope for experimentation and innovation, as cost of failure is tremendous. It kills human freedom to do what he wants to, but taking in to account the circumstances he relents to the pressure of competition, thereby doing what he needs to. Thus the creative potential remains untapped.

“Crab Mentality” is another significant problem. Though it is nothing related to fierceness of competition, its the problem with the approach. It means neither develop nor let develop. This attitude defeats the purpose of competition that is to attain overall progress or development. Instead the attitude should be to focus on developing self and learn from the opposition as well, this way world will be a better place to work and develop.

In practice, there have been issues of unfair competition between say large multinational and a small scale local industry. Thus one more important point is that competition is always on a level playing field. The state(India) has competition commission employed to ensure that.

Competitions are undoubtedly great source of thrust, spirit but the approach, the nature of it are of equal significance, to develop universally.

Law Of Attraction is one of the topics which is being discussed hugely by everyone. We can see many masters teaching how to master this Secret and manifest our hidden desires. They believe they can have anything they wish just by using this law of attraction. In my previous article I discussed how we get into vicious circle of karmick debts by trying to attract things which we might not be destined. Best way to use law of attraction is to ask cosmos to shower with you those things and relationship which you actually deserve.

Recently one of my very good friends told me that I am attracting deepest fears of my subconsciousness in general in my life. Then we discussed almost all the fears and found out that the fears that I carried in my subconsciousness and which were totally irrational, illogical and had no reason to back were actually manifesting in my life. Now this is something new we discovered. When people are talking about attracting all goodies via Law Of Attraction on the contrary I was attracting my deep hidden fears.

This led to further speculation and we analysed why it is manifesting at all even if we have some fear in our minds. After all it is impossible for anyone to have zero fears in life. Then it was not far reach to conclude that desire and fear are two very strong emotions. Desire and Fear are constantly present in are subconsciousness and consciousness. And fear is a stronger emotion than desire. Our body impulses also support our brain to respond to every fear and anything which is fearful and can cause danger to our being.

Fear is one emotion which is supported fully by our sub- consciousness, consciousness and body. Hence we are constantly sending vibrations to the cosmos about our fears. What we give out as vibrations is sent back to us.

This is how we are actually helping cosmos to manifest our deep fears. I am sure it’s not just me infact all of us are actually facing same thing in life. Now , how to handle this issue. This friend of mine gave me a wonderful solution and just said “Face all your fears “ … like “ darr ke aage jeet hai”.

I know facing fear is not an easy job but still least we can try is atleast stop hating our fears. Start seeing them positively and try to find the reason behind it and trust me they are all baseless. As soon as we start looking at these fears with positive attitude they just transform and we get a release from the negativity of these fears. And sooner or later the fear also dissolves. I just hope this little experience of mine which was discovered by other person will help all of you. Just felt like sharing…..

Wishing release to many ,

Roadies is an Indian Reality Show being telecast on MTV India. It has reached to its tenth season in the year 2013. The show is popular for several reasons such as unique interview style, solid interviewers like Raghu, Rajeev and Ranvijay(winner of first season), politics being played among contestants, excellent performances, unique locations etc.

I have been its regular viewer since last two seasons. I enjoy the show a lot. I have felt three things very strongly which does shine all over the show. Here are those 3 things to learn from the show.

1. Be Yourself.

We often lead a fake life. Our actions depend upon the person we are with or facing. Roadies tells you to Be Yourself. Don’t fake it. If you have weaknesses(who doesn’t?), don’t hide them. Accept them. Also, don’t even try to receive sympathy for it. Don’t fake yourself as a strong person, if you are not. Don’t lie. If you have done something wrong in the past, if you feel sorry for something, if you have cheated somebody – don’t lie about it. Of course, don’t even try to represent a fake cry out of it. And it doesn’t matter even if you do so because judge like Raghu will not be fooled by you. He will get inside you and fetch the truth from there. Roadies is all about being who you are. It doesn’t accept a personality which you try to represent for camera. I think that being yourself saves a lot of energy & time and the best part is that you don’t need to remember anything for you are acting as you are, rather you are not acting at all.

2. Respect Your Mentors.

It’s really hard to spend even a minute when Raghu, Rajeev or Ranvijay shouts at you or swears you like anything. But I have observed that it is always meaningful. So respect them. They don’t do so to get any personal frustration shower upon you. Sometimes, advise given with soft words doesn’t reach to us. We do need some hard words that do reach to the last cell of our brain. Raghu does it best. When he spots a participant faking something or not believing himself/herself, he simply shouts. But that’s not just a shout. It’s like, he is showing you the mirror and asking you to be brave enough to take a look. During such a situation, most of the persons would feel insulted and angry. In some interviews I have seen participants insulting the judges in return. That’s not done. They are mentors. They are trying to get best out of you. They are trying to get real YOU out of you. Actually, they are trying to HELP you. So respect them. Take it in a positive way. Thank them for taking you out of your comfort zone for the sake of your growth. It’s hard to find such mentors. So respect them.

3. Respect Or Success – chose wisely.

Roadies is show, a show, every participant wants to win, by hook or crook. But then, you need to think that what is your destination? Is it success, i.e. to win the show by doing anything like to cheat & by playing politics? OR to win it with grace, with respect? What does mean more to you – Success or Respect. It is quite obvious that those who have won the show or have moved further by simply keeping the success in mind and leaving respect aside, doesn’t receive respect at last even if they win. They are not remembered afterwards. All they bring home is the title of a winner of the show. But then there are those participants who have won the respect, if not the game, and they are remembered even after a period of few years. Avtar is a best example here. He had lost all his respect in Season 8 as his prime intention was to win the show by any means. He did hurt, cheated, insulted and did bad thing to win the show. Well, he couldn’t win the show nor respect. But then, he was invited again in Season X, where a moment came to win the respect. He walked out of the show though he was immune. He did so to keep his words. He saved Palak who was voted out, just because he had promised her that he would save her if situation arises. This made him receive respect.

Before you read this post, kindly watch the above video which is only 35 seconds but does talk a lot about for them who are fed up of their old items and wanting to find a way to sell it, and sell it at a good price. Well, this is when OLX comes in picture. It’s a free classified website in India which helps you get fair price for the product which is of no more use to you. It happens so smooth that you as a seller can talk directly with the buyer, decide a price and sell it. Just like that.

From mobiles phones to furniture, you can sell any item. It has multiple categories you can choose from. Best of all, it is quite easy and handy to put details of the item you want to sell. Just hit the button which says “Post a Free Ad”, fill up one easy form and you’re all set. Once you’ve submitted the details of the product you want to sell, a specific sales page is created, which is visible to buyers. Interested buyer needs to simply click on button which says ‘Reply to this Ad”, which consists of basic details such as message, name and e-mail address. Thus the seller receives the query. Also, you can put your cell number too directly on the selling page, and buyer can contact you directly on your cell. Isn’t that quick and easy?

Sample Sales Page (click on Image for larger view)

Take a look this images of sales page. It is so simple to navigate. Imagine that you want to buy this product, which is a cell-phone, all you need to do is either submit the query form or simply give a call directly to the customer and work it out. There is no other hassle to go through.

OLX TV Campaign

OLX.in can be surfed state & city-wise too. It makes it more easy for the buyer and seller if they want to sell an item. They can first look for the item from their city only, so that if they get what they are looking for, the trouble of transportation becomes far easy.

If you want to submit multiple ads to OLX, it offers a partner program where in which you can send them your ads in XML or CSV format. They will submit them for free and your ads will be updated regularly.

One of the interesting things that I noticed on the site is that people are searching for “watch” more than anything else. Site has a feature called “Popular Searches”, where in which I saw different keywords related to watches.

I was at Junagadh visiting Mahashivratri Mela. I was with my friends. We spent our night visiting different ashrams at Bhavnath taleti, enjoying Dayras(religious musical programs), meeting Nagasadhus and feeling the feel of such a over-crowded religious fair.

It was midnight when we returned to our place to have some sleep. It was the most sound sleep I ever had. In the morning, when I woke up, I saw a black-ant right beside my bed. I had my camera with me. Enjoyed simply observing two minutes in life of a black ant. Here is the same for you.

Two Minutes in Life of a Black Ant

Stumble upon a beautiful ecological gem which never hurts and may only be good for your kids? We’re talking about children’s books which lead us to the library where we encounter many different publishers. We would like to mention with regard to the delightful stories of Nina and Nello in the countryside, The Towers.

In this case it is actually some towers of books which target children from 0 years of age. It is surprising how the can actually cover all conceivable topics. They include baby books with high contrast images. For example, we have the tower where there is a volume dedicated to each of the more sympathetic animals of the sea or a tower in which each of the texts relates to a color.

In addition to the books of the sea there are also books available such as Play and Learn! Games with colors, animals and vehicles can be found. The latter is certainly more impassion to the public of the boys.

There is also the cord on the top to drag them around wherever you want once the whole stack is rearranged which is a great advantage for when you get little more than the height of the chair. We’ve all been there.

But why an ecological choice? Because in practice the volumes are printed on 98% recyclable and environmentally friendly inks. Some of the owners of the small turrets will also try to sit on them when they try to share their bath time or when they want to let the baby taste the food he does not like, but with the volumes being so nice and made of thick cardboard, the towers should hold up pretty well.
