Neither money pays, nor name, nor fame, nor learning; it is CHARACTER that can cleave through adamantine walls of difficulties. -SWAMI VIVEKANANDA Character is the sum total of a person's values, beliefs and personality. It is reflected in our behaviour and in your actions. It needs to be preserved more than the richest jewel in the world. To be a winner takes character. George Washington said, " I hope i shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most valuable of all tittle, the character of an honest man." Most of our behaviour is habitual- Comes automatically without thinking. Our character is the sum total of our habits. If we have positive habits, then we have good character. Conversely, if we have negative habits, others will find our character lacking. Habits are a lot stronger than logic and reasoning. In the life cycle of habit formation, a habit s...

The world's most dangerous tool ! I am not talking about any dangerous things that destroy man from outside. But I am talking about the great tool inside us " The Mind".Mind is truly an amazing tool.Anything you want to have do, or be -your mind can make it happen. If you don't use this tool properly it will cause more harm than good. Mind is like a powerful fasting moving vehicle. When we born the mind starts it journey with us. If we not properly use it may deviate its path and wander around. This may result in great dangers like , Lack of confidence, pessimism,inferiority complex,superiority complex,indecision,forgetfulness,lack of will power, lack of enthusiasm, unnecessary fear,Frustration, Lack of system,Anxiety,depression,tension,shyness and diffidence and aimlessness. To avoid all these dangers we have to use the mind in right way? Some of us may ask that Is it possible to use it in Proper way? And what I can say is it really depends one's conditions. For ...

We live in socieconomic set-up where for the whole day one has to work hard at the inhuman speed to physicl and intellecual work.Man has come to believe that to move physiclly and intelectually is to live .The way we move we go on collecting things at material level,knowledge on the intelectual level,and exprience on the sensual and physical level.With every experience and achievement,we build up our egoand create an enclosurearound us.In that enclosure we feel secure and live secluded andisolatedfrom our real self because of the sense of possession. Greed is a very common human trait.If something benfits an individual he would naturally like to have more of it.In pursuit of anything whether it is name,fame.money,possessing rare antique articles,books paitings,and other worldly goods there is a thin line pursuits like spreading humanitarian ideas,such as usefulness of yoga in everyday life ,one may over step

Reductionist science of specialities has been responsible for the sorry state of affairs in modern medicine today. Modern medicine, with all the tools,has not only become inhuman but seems to have lost its sense of direction.science is heading for a crisis,while the new science of CHOAS is trying to save the mankind.Human body is a dynamic machine run by the mind and is constatly being fuelled by food and oxygen. The linear euclidean mathematical rules of conventional science do not apply to the human organism.The conventional risk factor hypotheses have been proven wrong time again.The pooling project data have shown that while only 10% of those with more than six risk factors eventually had a heart attack.60% of thosde who had a heart attack did have one or none of the conventional risk factors operating in them.Still we hang on the old theories. Mind runs the bidy,and the conection between the two is so intimate,that it is difficult to seperate one from the other.Anger is now whown ...

Are you one of those who must always worry about your weight?Is it hard to maintain a normal figure?then this post is for you Two thousand five hundred years age Hippocrates,"the father of medicine,"and a very keen observer,noted that "fat men die suddenly!" This is still true.Not in every case,of course,bu sudden death occurs so often in fat people that doctors must raise a note of warning.Especially is this true in people who are sluggish and steadily gaining weight.In other words,the longer your waist,the Short your life line! Yes,it is very important to watch your weight,not allowing yourself to become too thin or too fat,but trying to remain near the ideal. Most youngsters in their teens,if they are healthy and active,are fairly close to the ideal weight for their size and age.Why do so many of them change as they grow older?Usually because they no longer are as active as they were. Changes often come o in the late twenties,redu...

Nervous problems are more common than all other illnesses combines.They affect people of every age and race,and there seems to be no end to the number of those who are sick because of anxiety,nervous tension,or emotional stress.Nor are the so-called nervous people the only ones affected.Many others with heart disease,high blood pressure,arthritis,and other types of illness are also under great stress and strain because of their physical condition. Nervous disorders can be roughly divided into two main classes or groups-those arising from neurotic problems,and those related to psychotic or disturbed personalities.People with neurotic problems are more or less normal in their reactions.They may be over-anxious,or perhaps saddened or depressed,but even in their darkest moments they are always in touch with reality.in other words,they are not so different from rest of us,expect that under the pressures of living they tend to go to extremes.as we think of them we might even be...

Among these neurotic personalities are chain smokers,alcoholics,drug addicts, people contemplating suicide, and all those anxious,fussy people who are never quite satiesfied with life.They also include almost all ulcer patients,as weill as the majority of those suffering from high blood pressur.People who are abnormally fat or thin may also belong to the neurotic group.because of their nervous tensions they either est too much or too little.Sleep-walkers,insomniacs,obessive-compulsive people,cynics,chronics,scoffers,nagging wives,and almost of those unfortunat people who are "always sick"-all of those are emotionally unhealthy in one way or another.Their frustrartion and complaints are almost endless. Cicero,the great Roman philosopher,said,"The diseases of the mind are more numerous and more destructive than those of the body."He was right,but often the true situation is not recoginized.As a result,many of these unhappy people find themselves wanderin...

Great group of mental patients,the psychotic personalities,are very different,for there are decidedly abnormal.They are completely out of touch with the world around them.some of them claim to hear"voices,"while others hold conversations with people who may be non-existent or long since dead.Their peculiar behaviour arises either from a distorted view of life,or perhaps from some derangement of the brain.Some of these queer people believe as Buddha,Concucius,Cieopatra,orNapoleon.They a may even try to assume the mannerisms and dress of the individual they are impersonating. Unlike the neurotic group many of these psychotic people are perfectly happy in their peculiar little world,and most of them are more or less harmless.But a few are decidedly dangerous.Some of the most dreadful crimes are committed by paranoid people who may outwardly appear quite sane and sensible.Their thinking is so disordered that they actually believe the whole world is against them.They carry deep gr...

dieting is not new to most people who are overweight.They have all tried this many times before.some are so incensed at what their Friends are saying about them that they will go without food entirely for a short time,only to return again to their former habits of overeating.Going to extremes rarely does any permanent good.The only solution is a completely new pattern of living,such as these simple steps outlines here: Take smaller quantities of food.continue with balances diet,quantity,is the rule.Be sure to include reasonable amounts of potatoes and whole-grain cereals in your diet.Eating slowly will help.Avoid all foods that are oily or high in fat. Be careful about "left-overs".Many housewives put on weight because they hate to food wasted.Far better to prepare less food and avoid the problem of "left-overs" Stop nibbling between the meals.Train yourself to get along on less food .Soon you will enjoy living on a reduced diet,and you will be surprised at how well...

Man has been given a most remarkable memory.He can easily recall events that have happened many years ago,and thus foresee to some extent what is ahead.This often helps him to avoid serious trouble.But this ability to anticipate the future seems to get some people into serious trouble,particularly when they become overanxious and deeply concerned about the future.Many of these individuals enjoy excellent physical health.often they are well-built specimens of humanity,perfect in every way.Yet inwardly they may be desperately afraid of their own future.Their troubles are not due to any lack of vitamins,minerals,or proteins, important as these are,but to the fact that they have to make the normal adjustments of life. A certain amount of fear is perfectly natural,particularly,if one is in danger of being run down by a speeding train or car!such concern is normal,healthy reaction,for without it we might be killed.But anxiety is quite different from this one experiencing the...

Persons with nervous problems are either neurotic or psychotic.These two groups are fairly well-defined .Actually they have little in common,expect in the case of the deeply depressed person in which case the distinctions are not so clear. Individuals suffering from the more pronounced types of mental disorder are sometimes said to insane,but the term insanity is a legal one,not a medical term.An insane person is one who cannot distinguish right from wrong or assume responsibility for his own actions.In the case of a psychotic person the whole personality is involved,and he is completely out of touch with the real world around.Not so the neurotic person often require hospitalisation,neurotic persons rarely do,unless they have some additional physical problem. Another distinction between these two major groups is that the psychotic person is usually brought to the doctor by his friends,while the neurotic comes of his own accord.He knows he is sick,and he usually wants help...

Schizophrenia, a term meaning "split mind," also known as dementia pracox, is a very serious form of mental illness. Most often it strikes in the earlier years of life. The true cause of this is not known . Schizophrenic patients are always a little odd in their reactions. Where the normal person may feel like weeping, the schizophrenic either giggles or shows no outward expression. On the other hand, he may cry when others laugh. He fluctuates from one extreme to another. One moment he may be full of affecton, the next he is all anger and resentment. His behaviour is completely unpredictable. He may babble on about nothing, then suddenly withdraw from world and speak to no one for weeks at a time.Such are peculiarities of this disease. There are four main types of Schizophrenia. They are not sharply divided but tend to blend into one another. Simple schizophrenia usually but tend into one another. Simple schizophrenia usually begins during late adolescence. These patients ap...

It is most important to develop a happy outlook on life. Many persons act like spoiled children. They feel deeply hurt when they cannot get their own way all the time. Mature people never act like pampered children. Things cannot always go the way we would desire. We must learn to work in harmony with others, in spite of our different points of view. It is so easy to make mistakes that raise tensions within us, leaving the mind troubled and distressed. Laughter and tears are the best antidotes for failure. These are Nature's ways of releasing our inner tensions and bringing us back to a more normal way of life. Have you ever noticed how difficult it is for a depressed person to either laugh or cry? He may make an attempt but it is never genuine, probable because he is so obsessed with his own feelings of frustration. If he is of a suspicious nature, he is busy trying to measure the motives of those around him. A good memory is a wonderful thing, but there are times when it is more ...

A complete meditative session should include these practices: Deep relaxation: Completely relax every part of your body as also your mind. This puts you in a receptive state and helps you access your pranic energy. Focusing: You focus your attention between your eyebrows — the centre of luminous spiritual energy, the area of peace inside you. Here, you let go the needless past and future worries and be wholly in the peace of the present moment. You train your mind to still its thoughts and learn what it is to be in sattvic calmness. Initially, you can silently repeat “I am peace” until you feel it spreading through you. Diaphragmatic breathing: Push your abdominal muscles outward as you inhale and pull them inward as you exhale. This is considered to be the more natural form of breathing and, thus, staves off stress and tension and influences the prana to flow more smoothly and strongly. Sound chanting: The sound can be ‘Om’. Rhythmic sound harmonises the prana. When the ...

Did you know that if you live to the age of 70,you will probably eat more than 1400 times your own weight in food? This is an enormous figure. In terms of cash it amounts to far more than all your other household bills combined.Every time you sit down to a meal you make an important decision concerning your own future. What you eat, and how you eat it may determine how long you live, and whether you will sick or well. Many people who could enjoy reasonably good health are suffering from various kinds of illness.Most of them are neither sick nor well.They are just dragging themselves around,half dead most of the time.What a miserable existence! they are not sick enough to go to bed,and not well enough to do their work properly. In some cases the trouble may be due to some parasite,or some hidden cause of illness.In many others the trouble arises from a faulty diet. Too many people spend their money foolishly,then wonder why they and their children are sick or lacking in...

When a man plans to build a house,he first secures the best materials he can afford.He tries to order just the right amount of each so there will be no wast.Then he begins to build.It is interesting to watch experienced men constructing such a house. The same is true of this most wonderful of all houses-the human body.We each are builders,daily selecting materials for the building process going on within ourselves.This construction job begins at birth and continues for the rest of our lives.For a strong house,or a strong body, we must have the right materials. Nothing inferior must be allowed to go into it.Only the best will do.This is even more true when one is recovering from some illness or injury. What are these body-building materials?Doctors refer as proteins,fats,carbohydrates,vitamins,minerals,and water. These are the materials we must have,in sufficient quantity and at the right time,if we hope to stay strong and healthy.Where do we find them? In our foods,of course.Only from...

Even the question of water is highly important.Far too many people take too little water for their own personal needs.Sometimes the water they take is contaminated,or else unfit for use.A lack of water may slow circulation and thicken the blood stream,thus increasing the work of the heart.It may even result in the formation of kidney and bladder stones,and other serious complications.To be healthy,one must take plenty of pure water: at least 6to 8 glass every day.If in doubt as to whether the water you is safe,boil it or use it in hot drinks. When the finest diet may fail if our own attitude is faulty and full of gloom.Many years age Herhrew sage gave this counsel:"A merry heart doeth good,like a medicine".In other words, a happy,optimistic person is bound to enjoy better health.His whole body responds to the sheer joy of living.A bright philosophy gives him something worth-while to live for.

"A broken spirit drieth the bones."How true! We all know that an unhappy person-a pessimist-always looks on the gloomy side of things.He is depressed and discouraged with everything he sees.His unhappy attitude interferes with his digestion.It slows down his circulation,makes him nervous and jumpy,spoils his sleep,makes him skeptical and suspicious of others,and takes the joy out of living.All the vitamin pill and food supplements in the world will never make him happy. Maybe he needs a good cook,someone who knows how to prepare food,and serve it attractively.This is most important if one is to enjoy life to the full.Often a happy attitude is either gained or lost at the dinner table.The smart man will recognize this and be grateful for the good things that come his way.He will quit his complaining,realizing that"The best things in life are free".
