Steve Jobs’ - Wisdom about Life

Below is the wisdom of Steve Jobs during his last stages of his life. He is one of the most successful and brilliant business men of all times.  

"I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer…

Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth…

Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days

Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just like me.
God gave us the senses to let us feel the love in everyone’s heart, not the illusions brought about by wealth. The wealth I have won in my life I cannot bring with me. What I can bring is only the memories precipitated by love.

That’s the true riches which will follow you, accompany you, giving you strength and light to go on.
Love can travel a thousand miles. Life has no limit. Go where you want to go. Reach the height you want to reach. It is all in your heart and in your hands.

What is the most expensive bed in the world? Sick bed…
You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – Life.
When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – Book of Healthy Life.

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down. 

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends. Treat yourself well. Cherish others"

Nine Types of Bhakti - As explained by Bhakdha Prahlad

When hiranyakashipu ask his son Prahlad about the things that he has learnt in the Patashala [School in Olden days], he informed that he has learnt "Nine Types of Bhakti" and explained the following :   

• Sravanam - Need to listen more about GOD 
• Kirtanam - Need to sing about GOD 
• Maranam - Need to Think about GOD with purity in mind.
• Pathasevanam - Need to fall in the lotus feet of GOD and perform seva. 
• Archanam - Need to perform Archana using good flowers. 
• Vandhanam - Need to do Namaskara to the GOD. 
• Dhasyam - Need to perform seva to the GOD. 
• Atma Nivedham - Need to realise that our atma belongs to GOD and dedicate to HIM. 
• Sakyam - Needs to show friendliness towards GOD. 

One who performs all the above will make GOD happy.Hiranyakashipu asked Prahlad who has taught all these. He informed that it was taught by Acharyas [ But in reality he meant Narathar]. On hearing this hiranyakashipu turned towards Acharyas and warned them to teach properly and bring back in one week. 

During that one week, Prahlad started giving lecture about the importance of knowing about GOD to all the students in the Patashala. Inwhich he has explained to all that we have only 100 years which is split as follows. 

• 50 Years - Sleep in Night 
• 35 years - Sleep in Day also 
• 15 years - Spent in Youth, Child, work, etc 

So, we have only less time, so please come and listen about GOD. He informs them to leave Asura attributes [ Not perfoming the duties informed by Vedas ]. 
When all the kids asked how Prahlad have such a good wisdom. Prahlad informed that he has acquired this wisdom when he in his mother's womb, Narathar give all this information.

Bhakta Prahlada - A Beautiful Devotional Movie

Recently, I have watched a beautiful devotional movie "Bhakta prahlada". Prahlada character was performed by a child star Roja Ramani. She received National Film Award for Best Child Artist for this movie. Her acting as Prahlad is brilliant. 

She have excellently portrayed the emotion and bhakti of Prahlada towards Narayana. It is a divine visual treat to all the Narayana devotees. I strongly recommend this movie to all. 

Movie is available in Telugu also. Om Namo Narayana.

Easy Solution for all your existing problems in Kali Yuga

It is said in our ancient Hindu literatures that simply by chanting the name of the Lord in this Kali Yuga, all our sins will be forgiven and take us to the state of complete bliss filled with love, happiness, harmony and peace. If you are one of the person, who likes to achieve self-realisation and find solutions for all your existing problems, the below article is definitely for you. 

Padma Purana  (1.41.91-92, and 7.26.40-44) explains that the benefits obtained through ten years of spiritual practice in Satya yuga, a year in Treta-yuga,  month in Dvapara-yuga, is attained in one day and night in Kali-yuga. So, it is said that it is easy to achieve oneness with the Divine Soul in this Kali Yuga easily by chanting the name of the Lord. 

Same has been depicted in the below Sloka written by Veda Vyasa:

"krte yad dhyayato visnum tretayam yajato makhaih 
dvapare paricaryayam kalau tad dhari-kirtanat"
- Srimad Bhagavatam 12.3.52 

Self-Relisation Achieved in different Yuga's as per Srimad Bhagavatam :

• Satya-yuga - By doing Meditation
• Treta-yuga - By performing Rituals 
• Dvapara-yuga - By Deity Worship 
• Kali Yuga - By chanting the Hare Krishna Maha−Mantra

Hare Krishna Maha Mantra :
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare 
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare

Maha Mantra Meaning :
O energy of the Lord (Hare), O all-attractive Lord Sri Krishna, O Supreme enjoyer (Rama), please engage me in your divine service. In this Maha Mantra Lord have invested all the divine energy to purify the body, mind and soul. 

How to Chant the Maha-mantra
Maha-Mantra can be chanted anywhere and anytime with divine love towards the God. 

Once you start chanting the Mahamantra your mind will be purified and filled with peace, love, joy, harmony and positive spiritual energy. It also brings success and all blessings in your life. 

You can also chant the names of your favourite God like "Om Namashivaya", "Om Namo Narayanaya", "Om Namo Bhagavade Vasudevaya", etc 
to achieve almost the same benefits. 

Happy Chanting to live a blissful life. Stay blessed.
