Finally Schools Catch Up with Kids & Technology
Generation Y, the Millennials, Tech babies, whatever you decide to title this current generation it is impossible to ignore their technological prowess. The children born from 1978 – 1995 were born into a computerized world. They have been raised with technology and their comfort level is unsurpassed.According to a Pew Internet & America Life Project study teens are more technologically connected now than ever before. Findings state that 87% of kids between ages 12 – 17 use the internet. Up to 51% go online daily. While 45% have cell phones and 38% use those for text messaging and staying in touch with their friends (Lenhart, Madden, & Hitlin, 2005). What this study demonstrates is that technology has become a staple in the Gen Y lifestyle. With this generation being more and more comfortable with technology, it appears that technology will be creeping more into every area of life.Colleges have jumped on board to keep this generation of students focused and motivated in classes. At Brown University instructors are using a tool called a “clicker” to generate responses from their student population. A clicker is similar to a TV remote control; however when a student selects their answer the answer is directed to the instructor’s computer at the front of the class. Student’s responses are immediately generated and a compilation of the entire classroom’s answers then creates a ‘results chart’ for the instructor to use as a basis for a current and real-time discussion with the class. The technology seems to ease fears of givi

contemporary saints who either live in society or other mysterious places like mountain caves, forests etc so as to perform austerities. All of them are unswerving devotees of Gayatri. Mahatma Gandhi, Mahatma Malviya, Rabindranath Tagore, T.Subbarow, Sir Radhakrishnan, Jagadguru Shankaracharya, Swami Shivanand and other great spiritual preceptors have given their valuable message on the deep import of Gayatri. Thus we all can benefit tremendously by reflecting meditatively on their message. The founder editor of Akhand Jyoti magazine (our revered author) had devoted his sacred life to Gayatri meditation and had thus exalted his spiritual stature gigantically.

Whether they were Rishis-Munis of ancient civilization or whether they are great contemporary saintly beings, one thing is common to all of them and that is their spiritual goals were achieved due to Gayatri’s holy blessings. All great scholars of various scriptures and Yogic spiritual seekers always were first initiated into Gayatri meditation. After that they were free to choose their idol (Krishna, Shiva, Rama etc) and mode of penance. From the very commencement of creation Gayatri has been the leader amongst all Yoga practices. No other spiritual endeavor is as easy, straightforward, less time consuming and which reaps sure success when one compares them with Gayatri practices. It is only the boat of Gayatri practices that helps us cross the river of this world of pain bestowing dualities (joy-sorrow, profit-loss, good-bad etc). Gayatri is that holy wish fulfilling cow (Kamdhenu) who bestows material and spiritual bliss equally on householder devotees or mendicants who renounce their home and hearth in search of spiritual joy. Both these class of human beings can avail the divine powers as blessings from Mother Gayatri.

Did 9-11 Change Everything for the Business Community
For the business community 9-11 changed everything. In our company, we are in the cleaning business and after 9-11 we saw 62.6% decrease in weekend call ins for washing services at office buildings and a nearly same number of residential call ins. We believe this is partly due to adverse weather but as last years information shows it cannot be more than 20%. Last year that period was down 11.45% and then in the first 3 quarters of 2001 it picked up. We believe because all the phone companies with cellular started offering free weekend minutes so people decided to call us since we are probably on their speed dials for their cell phones. That increase was 4.1 %. Weather last year during this period was light, the previous year lighter and the year before that hectic. This year’s winter is a medium plus year for rain and snow days.Luckily fuel prices are down so heating was not too bad on the residence of this continent. The only thing we can say for sure is fewer people are working weekends, and since the economy is slow they can justify taking the weekend off due to fewer customers everywhere exception Wal*Mart. With fewer people working there is less productivity, less spending and therefore less money to be spent and less calls on weekend. Why? Two fold. One the economy has shrunk in output and speed of transactions. Causing havoc on money flows to all people artificially shrinking money supply to the average participant in the US monetary system. Why? First there is less of a perceived need to work weekends if the TV says we may all b

Amongst the many energies of Almighty God Gayatri Super Power is very important and priceless. That scientific method by which one imbibes gigantic amounts of Gayatri is called ‘Upasana’ or devotional practice. If devotion to Gayatri is based on a sound scientific footing a great deal of Gayatri Super Power can be imbibed by us all. Anybody in this world who gathers more and more wealth (legally), good health, knowledge, skillfulness in art/sculpturing etc is given a high status in society and is looked up to by one and all. Similarly a true Gayatri devotee imbibes so much soul power that he is elevated to sainthood. True saints differ from laymen simply because saints possess infinite divine energy whereas laymen possess only an iota of it.

Gayatri Mantra is the Mother of all the 4 Vedas. All the sciences and knowledge of the world rest in Gayatri and in fact they form only a minor part of Gayatri’s Super Power storehouse. As of now there exist mysterious energies which remain undiscovered. A few Gayatri devotees who manage to manifest even an iota of these energies perform such gigantic tasks in the world which amazes one and all. Many saints and sages of the world manifest many divine powers called Ridhi-Sidhi. There is no end to the quantity and variety of these divine powers. The more one dives deep into the recesses of his/her psyche which is taintless and one pointed, the more he/she manifests these powers. Such saintly people after attaining God Realization never return to this mortal world simply because they have attained Moksha or salvation or immortality.

Amongst all Yoga spiritual practices Gayatri meditation is easier to follow, supreme and shows results more speedily. Mere chanting of the Gayatri Super Mantra (Japa) awakens and evolves many powerful and secret Chakras (plexus) that lie in the deep recesses of ones soul. Hatha Yoga involves practices like Kundalini Yoga, Shat Chakra Vedhan, Naadi Shodhan etc and one has to perform many intense austerities. Instead if one chants the Gayatri Mantra with devotion these goals of Hatha Yoga can be achieved with relatively greater ease and speed. Gayatri Mantra chanting subtly influences many Naadis (subtle nerves) and secret Chakras so as to awaken latent divine powers present in that region. And with relative ease a Gayatri devotee marches ahead on the path of both material and spiritual prosperity.

Gayatri spiritual practices reign supreme as far as soul advancement is concerned. Great Yogis and sages perform austerities full of hardships so as to attain spiritual prosperity. As against this Gayatri devotion bestows these very attainments to its devotee with greater ease and speed. I have known many great souls who despite being householders attained great material and spiritual heights due to Mother Gayatri’s grace.

Even an ordinary person can overcome mental taints, material problems etc by surrendering to Mother Gayatri. External circumstances faced by human beings are nothing but the reflection of the state of ones mind. A pure and taintless psyche breeds conducive and peaceful circumstances whereas a tainted mind breeds sorrow and pain in ones daily living. Thus if you overcome taints like vile thinking, vile behavior and a lowly viewpoint with the help of Gayatri all your sorrows and hardships will be overcome. Then you will live a life of peace, contentment and self fulfillment. Gayatri’s teachings are the supreme gist of all religious scriptures. By imbibing them one fully imbibes true spirituality, purity of heart, sacredness of the soul and deep faith in God. Once all this is imbibed all material requirements automatically come unasked in the life of a Gayatri devotee.

Gayatri spiritual practices have given many material benefits too. And yet the supreme benefit is spirituality or God Realization. There are 3 predominant benefits amongst many others which is attained by a steadfast and mature Gayatri aspirant and they are: 1.Self Realization, Jeevan Mukti (liberation while yet alive) and Brahma Nirvaana or salvation 2.Awakening of divine powers in the deep cave of the soul after ones psyche becomes focused and sacred 3. When ones mental taints like hatred, anger, lust, greed etc are destroyed one earns good merits (Punya) and hence the world starts respecting you and this in turn gives you untold eternal joy. The more ones faith deepens and the more ones mind becomes sacred and focused to that extent one prospers both materially and spiritually. Of course even if ones faith is not so intense even then some minor benefits definitely accrue.

It is my own experience that Gayatri meditation helps one attain God Realization. I have seen many others progress by leaps and bounds after seeking Gayatri’s grace. Hence I have imbibed an unswerving faith that just about anybody can benefit both materially and spiritually by humbly serving the lotus feet of Mother Gayatri. Gayatri eulogies have been sung aloud as follows: “TATDIYRCHAHA SAMO NAASTI MANTROM VEDA CHATUSHTAYAY.

SARVAY VEDAASHCHA DAANAANI CHA TAPANSI CHA.

SAMAANI KALAYAA PRAHURMUNAYO NATADITYRA CHA.” ---------VISHWAAMITRA.

No other Mantra in the Vedas is as supreme as Gayatri Mantra. All the Vedas, Yajnas, charities, austerities etc put together pales in comparison with the greatness of Gayatri. Thus spoke great Munis (deep thinkers) of yore.

THE KEY THAT OPENS THE INFINITE VAULT OF MYSTERIOUS DIVINE POWERS

Since time immemorial many great sages and saints have performed intense penance by adhering to the precepts of Gayatri meditation. Gayatri is the key that opens the vault of all divine powers without exception. Without Gayatri’s grace the lock of soul liberation can never open. Many devotees have performed Yoga practices to please and get blessings from Rishis, Munis, Rama, Krishna, Shankar, Vishnu, Brahma, Durga, Surya etc. Many have devoted themselves to the formless God (Niraakaar Brahman). And yet each one of them has had to first devote their mind to Gayatri. Without Gayatri’s blessings none of our austerities and spiritual practices have the power to succeed.

Great scriptures proclaim: “ASYA KASYAAPI MANTRASYA PURASHCHARANAMAARABHAIT.

VYAAHVRITI TRAYA SANYUKTAA GAYATRI CHAAYUTAM JAPAIT.

NRISINHAARKA BARAAHYANAAM KAULAA TAANTRIKAA TATHAA.

BINAA JAPTAVAATU GAYATRI SATSARVA NISHPHALAM BHAVAIT.”

MEANING: One may chant any Mantra and yet its Vyahvriti should be done alongside Gayatri Mantra chanting. One may worship Nrisingha, Surya, Vaaraha etc or one might perform Kaul Tantrik exercises of the Vaam Path and yet without Gayatri’s blessings none of them can bear fruit.

Gayatri is the Divine Mother of all the 4 Vedas. Without her help none of the Dakshina Path austerities (Vedic in nature) can succeed truly. Tantriks, Kauls, Avadhootas, Kaapaalikas, Aghoras etc of the Vaam Path require certain powers and their roots lie in none other than Gayatri. Many master the Shabar Mantra without Gayatri’s grace. Hence for a short time span they show momentary ‘miracles’ but later all their powers come to naught. Only that devotee who manifests Divine Powers from their very source attains them ceaselessly and eternally. Mantra chanting without devotedly serving Gayatri can never give long lasting joy and soul power.

Ancient history and mythology (Puraanaas) maintain that Rishis, Munis etc of yore who performed various Yoga based penance did so with the blessings of Gayatri. Lord Krishna in the Bhagwad Geeta says: Gayatri Chhanda Saamaham meaning I (God) am Gayatri manifest. No other Mantra is as suitable as Gayatri to meditate on the Almighty Lord.

In this book it is not possible for me to give a detailed biography of great saints like Vashishtha, Yaajnavalkya, Atri, Vishwaamitra, Bharadwaaj, Naarada, Kapil, Kanaad, Gautam, Vyaas, Shukadeva, Dadheechee, Vaalmiki, Vana, Shankha, Lomus, Taiteraiya, Jaabaalee, Uddaaalaka, Vaishampaayan, Duravaasaa, Parshuraama, Pulista, Dattatreya, Agastya, Sanat Kumaras, Kanva, Shaunaka etc to show how their austerities succeeded only after devoting their minds at the holy feet of Mother Gayatri. It was the power of Gayatri imbibed by great Rishis which helped them perform gigantic tasks for world welfare. Respected readers are hereby encouraged to read ancient spiritual history of India along with Puraanaas (Mythology) and find more details of the lives of the great Rishis mentioned above.

A few decades back there was a great saint who evolved his soul radiantly with the help of Gayatri. Of course there is a possibility that his idol, ideals and principles were different yet everyone had great faith in the Mother of the Vedas viz. Gayatri. Initially he had imbibed the divine energy of Gayatri and thus later he became a great saint. It was due to Mother Gayatri’s blessings that Shankaracharya, Samarth Guru Ramdas, Narsinha Mehta, Dadu Dayal, Saint Jnaneshwar, Swami Ramanand, Gorakhnath, Machindranath, Haridas, Tulsidas, Ramanujacharya, Madhavacharya, Ramkrishna Paramhans, Swami Vivekanand, Ramtirth, Yogi Aurobindo, Maharshi Raman, Gauranga Mahaprabhu, Saint Ekrasanand and other revered saints attained divinity or God Realization.

There are man contemporary saints who either live in society or other mysterious places like mountain caves, forests etc so as to perform austerities. All of them are unswerving devotees of Gayatri. Mahatma Gandhi, Mahatma Malviya, Rabindranath Tagore, T.Subbarow, Sir Radhakrishnan, Jagadguru Shankaracharya, Swami Shivanand and other great spiritual preceptors have given their valuable message on the deep import of Gayatri. Thus we all can benefit tremendously by reflecting meditatively on their message.

Growth Of The Firms
Let’s discuss several factors that reveal the reasons, motivations of the firms’ growth. The article grew to be more philosophical than managerial.Growth is generally achieved by small firms by making more of its existing products, or by developing more products. Hence, a common obstacle that many small firms face is that they do not have the finance to expand through invention, or developing a new product. Finance is necessary to pay researchers or inventors, to pay for materials and then once the product has been developed, to market it. Another way of achieving growth is being merging with another firm, which is known as external growth. A merger is where two or more firms combine to form a larger, new company. It is very unlikely that a small firm would have enough finance to merge with another company, so this method of growth is more common with larger firms. Small firms, if recently established may the lack experience and expertise to help it grow. Many skills are required to run a successful company, including managerial skills, product-related knowledge, marketing skills etc. Without an adequate workforce, the company will have problems in the corresponding area of production which may hinder the success of the company in relation to growth and development. Early on in a new firm’s life it is unlikely to have developed a strong brand name, and strong customer base. So, the firm cannot be sure it will have the support or demand for it to grow if a new product were to be developed.The main factor which prevents a firm from

If you can connect with the needs, desires or wants of your readers through your headlines, you are already halfway through to making the sale or whatever you would have them do.Some business and even advertising agencies still make the mistake of putting brands in the forefront. It is readers first, then your brand. The only exception to the rule is classic branded names like IBM, Microsoft or Cocoa-Cola. These branded names are worth a fortune and very marketable.Until you've built a reputable business, and people have come to trust your brand name, stick to this rule.

Skin Care- Control Body Odor
Sweat controls our body temperature. Sweat also is responsible for body odor. When bacteria react with sweat, it produces odor. Similarly pheromones that are emitted by apocrine glands also have an odor. Let us find out how to control excess sweat and control body odor.Skin care- how sweat produces odor?Eccrine sweat is produced by eccrine sweat glands that are distributed all over the body. This sweat that is mainly water with very small amount of salt, sugar, urea etc. is odorless. As this sweat appears on the skin surface it softens the epidermal keratin producing smell as a result. Bacteria feed upon the keratin and sweat and produce odor. In other areas of body, such as armpit, the skin is folded and moist and warm. That is the ideal place for bacteria to feed upon sweat and produce odor. Apocrine glands are mainly located around area such as scalp, groin and armpits. They produce fatty sweat with pheromones. Bacteria again break down this sweat and result is bad odor. The excess of sweat and /or bacteria can produce more body odor. The obvious solution to body odor is therefore- reduction or drying of excess sweat as soon as possible and keeping the skin free of bacteria. Here you should note that if you have any yeast infection, that can worsen the odor.Skin care and control of sweat and odor-Control sweat with antiperspirants. If you are having the problem of excess sweating, please consult your doctor who will suggest other methods such as botox injections and other methods. Washing body with antibacterial s

Top-of-Mind Positioning is Center of Your Business Universe
No matter the size of the company, marketing is one of the key skills that has to be mastered. It continues to intrigue me that people hire accountants and attorneys (as they should) to help them set up and maintain their business, yet seldom budget for help (as they should) in the marketing arena. They may have built a better mousetrap, yet they don’t know how to let the world know they have built it … and continue to build it. Could that be why countless companies never celebrate their first anniversary?Most of us know the standard 4 Ps of marketing: product, price, place (distribution) and promotion. I’d like to introduce you to the 3 Ps of marketing that have helped me build two successful businesses: Positioning, Packaging and Promoting. Let’s look at each of them more closely.PositioningIt is essential that you establish yourself as an expert in your field so that when people think of (you fill in the blank), they think of (fill in your name). The first blank is all-important. It needs to be a business/job function/service or product that is commonly known. It needs to be stated in lay terms rather than industry jargon, i.e. you want as many people as possible to instantaneously think of you and, therefore, they have to understand what you do. Stay away from terms like good customer service, quality, commitment or reliability. I’ve met few people who don’t think they excel in those areas. Actually, these words are a useless promotional tool if people don’t know what business you are in.Start with “wha

The most special characteristic of Gayatri meditation is that those spiritual goals attained by Rishis, Munis, Yogis etc living in forests, mountain caves etc (far away from the humdrum of society) are attained by those Gayatri devotees who live a householder’s way of life i.e. living in a fast paced world. A definite goal attained by Gayatri worshippers is purification and focus of their psyche. Any Gayatri devotee who chants the Gayatri Mantra with one pointed faith and devotion will attain purity of thought word and deed. Vile qualities start diminishing in their psyche and positive, wholesome qualities wax day in and day out. Just as you wash a dirty vessel with soap water so that it starts glistening, just as you wipe of the thick layer of dust on a mirror so that you can see your face clearly reflected in it, just as you remove the thick layer of ash in a coal furnace so that the fire blazes forth brightly in the same way Gayatri cleanses the psyche of its devotee and this helps the devotee’s previously latent divine powers manifest in full strength. Thus not only does the devotee prosper both materially and spiritually but he/she becomes a very important instrument of Almighty God to usher in world peace and brotherhood. Anyone who drinks the divine milk from the sacred bosom of Divine Mother Gayatri (whether a man of renunciation or a householder living in the thick of things) will attain both bodily and mental sanctity.
