Yamunashtak

My mom said that whenever I fear of something I should recite this Yamunashtak. I believe in Lord Krishna. So, I do it regularly. Hope it works for you too.

Shri Gangaji evolved from the lotus feet of Shri Bhagavan. Shri Gangaji became holy and pious due to merging with Shri Yamunaji at Triveni Sangam.

Here Shri Maha Prabhuji explains the exaltation of soul just by bathing in the waters of shri yamunaji which becomes pious daily by the “Ras-Lila of Lord with the vraj-bhakts”. By serving Shri Yamunaji we get blessing from her, which is helpful in exalting our soul and making pious. As we wash our body from outside to make it look pretty, we need to have blessings in form of Shri Yamunaji’s river water to wash our soul and body from within. Due to her blessings our mind and thoughts becomes favorable to serve Shri Krishna.

I just want

I just want a man with a real soul
Who wants equality and not control

I just want a man good and smart
A really sharp mind and a very big heart

I just want a man not scared to weep
To hold me close when we're asleep

I just want a man who loves romance
Who'll clear the floor and ask me to dance

I just want a man who gives some back
Who talks to me and not my rack

I just want man whose spirit is free
To hold my hand, walk the world with me

The wandering soul I was meant to meet
HE finally come and swept me off my feet

Resolutions

Looking back on your choices last year, you may have made some good decisions and some bad ones.
As you take on 2011, here are my favorite methods to aid in better decision making.

Make Better Decisions in 2011 : Use Both Emotion and Logic

While your instincts need to be developed and aren't terribly useful for decision-making purposes
right out of the gate, if you've made similar decisions in the past your gut probably knows what's
best. Even though emotion-based decisions can often lead to problems, they're still a necessary part
of the process. For example, fear can be used to help us understand when something might be a bad idea.
This may seem obvious, but we have a tendency to either ignore our emotions or follow them completely.
Hitting the snooze button in the morning is never really a good idea, or one logic would approve of,
but we do it anyway because we want to. Alternatively, we'll sometimes agree to do something we feel
we're going to hate but do it because we consider it an obligation or beneficial to our future.
Both of these examples are problematic because the first ignores logic and the second ignore emotion.
You need to consider both for a good decision, and then you can rely on your properly-tuned gut
instincts for similar decisions in the future.

Schedule Your Important Decisions

Most of the time you can use your instincts for the usual decisions you need to make every day,
but for the few you consider very important you need to set aside some decision-making time.
For some, the best time is the afternoon when things have died down a bit.
Others may find it best to schedule decisions in the morning because they're more awake and aware.
Think about your usual day and what factors need to be present for you to make good decisions,
then schedule the necessary time every day to think and choose. While you can't really ever know,
for certain, how a decision will pan out, you can give yourself the optimal environment and state
of mind to make the best choice you're capable of making.

When You Ask for Advice, Avoid Your Own Bias

Asking for advice on an important decision can be helpful, but it can also be dangerous.
When you ask someone for their opinion on a decision you cannot give them all the information
you're working with. You'll generally offer up what you think is important, but you could potentially
leave out something that could change their opinion entirely. This is not to say you shouldn't ask
others for advice, however. Nobody's perfect and letting others weigh in can be very helpful,
especially if you're already pretty sure of your decision and your confirmation bias may be at play.
When you ask for advice, try to avoid your own bias. For example, if you're having trouble deciding
who to hire for a particular job, be careful what you say when you ask a coworker for their opinion.
Avoid describing the person yourself because your bias may color the information you give. Instead,
give your coworker the same information you have (or as much of it as you can). If that's a little
much, you can ask simple questions instead, such as "do you think this job would be better suited
for an introverted or extroverted person?" These sorts of questions can help you confirm if what
you think is the best way to go.

Any Decision is Better Than No Decision

Ultimately, you're not living your life or moving forward when you sit and think about things
endlessly. The only thing worse than making a wrong decision is not making any decision at all.
In fact, we're much happier when we decide regardless of
the outcome. This is because our minds are capable of synthesizing happiness. If we made a bad decision,
we're capable of creating a "fake" happiness that, to us, is just as good as the real thing. If you can
decide which laptop to buy or what to wear on a date, ultimately you'll find a way to be just as happy
with whatever decision you make.

What an Awesome Reply man!

It was a hot meeting at the office conference hall.
All the people from the department had been called. The VP was looking much tensed.


The mood was so bad. My friend asked me – “Hey, what is this meeting all about?
I told – May be they will decide on when to have the next meeting.

People around smiled at each other. Then the VP started talking.
It was about the recent attrition rate that was so high. Around 10 people had put in their papers.

All experienced guys. It was quarter end and so work was huge. If we do not complete the work on time,
we need to be paying heavy penalty said the VP.

The VP turned to the manager and told “Hey – take how much ever resources you want. Recruit or
take them from other departments. But complete the work in another 25 days. Take people and complete
it man.


To this the sweet manager replied “Sir! Give me one wife and nine months and I shall show you results.
Don’t give me nine wives and one month. I cannot do anything.” Everyone looked at him blank.


The VP was not prepared for this answer. We looked at the manager and thought
“What an Awesome Reply man!”
