You are responsible for your Happiness

We have the habit of complaining our boss, spouse, children, friends, etc for our sufferings in this world.  No one in this world is ready to accept that, they themselves are responsible for their sufferings / happiness. 

We always tell that if I have a good boss or good spouse, I will be happy. However everyone forgets that it is only they attract them in our life based on their thoughts / Karma in the current or past incarnations.

There is one beautiful line from Purananuru ( Tamil Literature), which states that "Theethu Nandrum Pirar Thara Vara" ( Good or Bad doesn't come to us from others ). 

Until you blame someone for your suffering, it won't end. Once you take responsibility for your sufferings, you get peace of mind and you will start blessing the person who have given the pain to you. 

Vedhathiri Maharishi have instructed us to bless everyone, even our enemies as "Vazhga Vazhamudan" ( Live In Abundance) to get happiness and peace of mind. 

You are the driver of your life and your suffering in the present situation might be due to your past Karma. First, you should understand it and start loving everyone. 

Second, our ancient scripture have given a simple solution to nullify your bad Karmas from your Karmic account. It says that "Just by chanting / hearing the holynames of God, you can safeguard yourself from the effects of your past Karmas". 

All great Spiritual Masters like Srila Prabhupad, Yogi Ramsuratkumar, Muralidhar Swamigal, Swami Ramdas, etc have preached the importance of chanting the holynames of God. 

You can chant the holy names of God, only if you have done crores of good deeds.  

It is for the so reason, in the ancient days out ancestors have kept the holynames of God (Ram, Shiva, Ganesh, Lakshmi, Krishna, Vishnu etc) to their children.  You will get good deed even if you call your children by their name. In Bhagavadham, Ajmaal will be saved from going to Hell, just for calling his last son by his name "Narayana". 

Summary :
In a nutshell, you are the creator of your own destiny.Whole Universe runs on Law of Karma. Everything ( Good or Bad ) comes to your life based on your past Karmas. Chant the holynames of God to live a happy and peaceful life.

The Happy Zen - Tips for Eternal Happiness

"You are not your body; you are not your brain, not even your mind.  You are Spirit. All you have to do is reawaken to the memory, to remember." ~ Dr. Brian L. Weiss

In this materialistic age of Kalli-Yuga, people are interested in making the physical body and mind happy. Everyone works hard, day and night, to earn more money to make them and their family happy. By the end of the day, are these people really happy ?

If money brings happiness, all wealthy and famous people in this world must be happy. Is it the real truth ? The answer is No.

However, in a contrary we would see some of persons who have a lovely family that loves them, a few good friends and food on their table and roof over their head and feel contented with their life and live a happy and meaningful life.

During my search for such happy contented people, I have been blessed to meet my master Thiru.Dr.Nagore Rumi who is living a happy, positive and contented life. Our Rishis and Sages have also done an intense research about eternal happiness and recorded in our ancient scriptures.

I started following the preachings of my masters and Rishis and soon my life also changed, filled with eternal happiness. I have finally come to a conclusion that "Inorder to get eternal happiness, we need to concentrate on making our soul happy".

I have compiled the key points to make the Divine Soul happy as preached by my masters and Rishis in this chapter.

Tips for eternal happiness :

• Be Good. Do Good. Think Good.
• Be content.
• Count your blessings.
• Love everyone unconditionally.
• Forgive everyone including yourself.
• Perform Annadhanam ( Food Donation).
• Do Meditation.
• Let go of the things that is not under control.
• Pray God often. 
• Spend 10% of your salary to needy and poor people.
• Chant the holy names of God.
• Be humble and kind. 
• Be Grateful.
• Live in present.
• Love Yourself
• Do all things will love.
• Smile and laugh more.
• Be the reason someone smiles today.
• Learn to see the good in every situation.
• Live Simply.
• Serve All.
• Be optimistic in every situation.

Try to follow as much as possible which makes your soul happy.

Everyone have been programmed to believe that success brings happiness. However, the truth is "All successful people are not happy, but all happy people are successful".

Why worry when you can "Be Happy" ?

In a study that happened recently, it is proved that 85% of what we worry about never happens. Whenever a problem occurs, we need to re-program the mind to see the positive side of the problem. With little practice and effort one can master the art of re-programming the mind. 

Happiness is not the absence of problems. It's the ability to deal with them with courage. Happiness does not depend on what happens outside of you, but what happens inside of you. Time heals everything. Give time to your existing problem and believe in the Divine powers and surrender it to the lotus feet of the God. 

Two important mantras that needs to be remembered during the hard times is "Situation will change" and "This too shall pass". I know it is easier said than done, however with regular practice one can fine-tune their mind. 

Incase if you can't do anything about the existing problem, learn the art of acceptance and be happy. If we follow the principle scripted in the below flow chart, I guarantee that your life will be filled with happiness, peace and bliss.  

Just because a person smiles all the time, doesn't mean their life is perfect. The smile is a symbol of Hope and Strength. When you are happy, good hormones like Dopamine, Serotonin, Endorphin's and Oxytocin are secreted in your body which makes you healthy.

Things To-Do : 

• Have a printout of the above flowchart and paste in your office cubicle or in your home. 
• Whenever you encounter a problem in your life see this flowchart and take required action. 

Be happy that when others look at you they become happy too.
