Wishing to everybody on the festival of Ganpati..

"||| Vakratunda Mahakaya Surya Koti Samaprabha

     Nirbighnam kurume deva sarbakaryeshu sarbada |||"

English Translation:
"Oh, Lord Ganesh, with curved trunk and massive body, 

the one whose splendor is equal to millions of suns,

please bless me so that I do not face any obstacles in my endeavors."

Lord Shree Ganesh
 is god of knowledge and the remover of obstacles. 

Lord Ganesha 
is worshipped, 
or at least remembered,
 in the beginning of any auspicious performance
 for blessings and auspiciousness. 
He has four hands, elephant's head and a big belly.

 His vehicle is a tiny mouse. 
In his hands he carries a rope 
(to carry devotees to the truth), 
an axe (to cut devotees' attachments), 
and a sweet dessert ball "Laddoo" 
(to reward devotees for spiritual activity).
 His fourth hand's palm is always extended to bless people. 
A unique combination of his elephant like head 
and a quick moving tiny mouse vehicle represents 
tremendous 
wisdom, intelligence, and presence of mind.

A Superb Thought for our day to day life

A Superb Thought for our day to day life

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn.

He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded.

Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance.

The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough."

So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.

The boy replied, "I did nothing but sit on the ground and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the watch and just looked for it in that direction."

Moral:

A peaceful mind can think better than a worked up mind. Allow a few minutes of silence to your mind every day, and see, how sharply it helps you to set your life the way you expect it to be...!

Only buses will stop here – Not your time
So Keep walking towards your goal

Negative Thinkers focus on Problems
Positive thinkers focus on Solutions

Never hold your head high with pride or ego.
Even the winner of a gold medal gets his/her medal only when he bows his head down

Define TODAY
This is an Opportunity to Do A work better than Yesterday
