You Don't Need A Career To Succeed!

Here I am sitting in my terrace, sipping a cup of tea and watching the sunset in all it's glory and enjoying every minute of my life! If you had asked me as to what I was doing at the same time two months ago, I would say travelling by bus back home from work feeling lethargic, irritated, hungry and angry!

I used to spend six hours a day travelling to work and back home! I wondered if this is what life was all about? I wanted to live my life travelling to different places and experiencing new cultures and living life to it's fullest! So, I decided to quit my job. After I had applied for my resignation, the HR comes up to me says, "We are really disappointed in you, we want more Women to succeed". After hearing to this statement, I just nodded my head but inside I was exploding, "Really?!" "So you measure someone's success by this and wasn't that a sexist comment?!". Then, I thought there was no point in arguing with her and maybe that's her perception about life.

If you would ask me if I have succeeded in my life, I would say a 100% yes! After my resignation, I have traveled to 5 different countries and experienced 5 different cultures and learnt about the Philosophy of Life (more about this in my later posts!). I have also learnt to drive a car. If I hadn't taken the initiative to quit my job, I wouldn't have achieved any of this! Life is all about setting your own goals and achieving them. Hope each one of you realize this and I wish you all the success in your life!

PS: To all those of you sitting at your desk on a Monday morning and feeling lethargic, this article is for you! ;)

What Is Reiki?

When I tell people that I am a Reiki Healer , most of them ask me what it is. So, I thought of making this Post for you to get a basic understanding of what it is all about. Reiki is actually a Japanese technique for making use of the " Universal Energy " to heal yourself both physically and mentally. What do I mean by " Universal Energy "? Well, most of us would have studied in our school days that Energy can neither be created, nor be destroyed and that it is present everywhere and in everything. It is present everywhere in the Universe! Through Reiki you can make use of this Universal Energy to heal yourself. How do I use " Reiki " to heal myself? You cannot directly make use of this Universal Energy to heal yourself. You need a " Reiki Master " to attune you. What do I mean by " Reiki Master " and what do I mean by " Attunement "? Let's just say a Reiki Master is a person who is trained in an adv...

The Fight Between Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma and Manifestation Of Lord Shiva As A Column Of Fire

Let me tell you a story about a time when Lord Vishnu and Lord Brahma had a fight and how Lord Shiva solved their differences. Once, Vishnu was lying down in his serpent bed taking a nap and at that time Brahma arrived there. When he noticed that even after his arrival Lord Vishnu did not wake up, he got angry. Brahma said: "How can you sleep without greeting me, even after my arrival?". Though Lord Vishnu was angry on the inside he calmly spoke to Brahma: "Greetings my son, please take a seat and why do you look angry?" Then Brahma said: "Due to the influence of time you have become proud though I am your grandfather!". To this Vishnu replied: "This whole universe is situated within me and you are thinking like a thief! You are born of a lotus sprung from my navel, hence your words are futile!" The both of them started arguing as to who was greater and a huge battle ensued between them.The other Gods of the Heaven who witnessed...

The Story Of Samudra Manthan To Obtain The Nectar Of Immortality

Let me tell you a story about how the Gods and the Demons churned the milky ocean to obtain the Nectar Of Immortality ! Once upon a time, due to the curse of a Sage named Durvasa , the Gods had lost their strength and lost the battle with the Demons. The Gods then went to Lord Vishnu for help. Lord Vishnu who always helps his devotees, instructed them to go to the Demons and ask them to join them to obtain the Nectar Of Immortality by churning the milky ocean and share it among themselves. Lord Vishnu told the Gods that he would make sure that only the Gods get the nectar. When the Gods approached the Demons, they readily agreed since they were also eager to become immortal! This process of churning the ocean to obtain this immortality nectar is called " Samudra Manthan ". For churning of the ocean they needed a churning rod and a rope. They used the " Mandara Mountain " as the rod and a snake named " Vasuki " which resides on Lord Shiva...
