Be Positive - An Eggless Birthday Cake Story :

Positive Thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will - Zig Zaglar. 

Inspired by the teachings of Buddha, Mahaveer, Lord Krishna and Vallalar I have stopped eating Non-Veg including egg from 2012 onward. I used to avoid Chocolates, Cakes and other food products that have egg. Inspired by me and by God's blessings, my wife also stopped eating Non-Veg including egg. 
[ I haven't compelled her to STOP and I don't like compelling anyone to STOP ]

14-Aug[Sun] is my Wife's birthday. I would like to celebrate it with a lovely egg-less Butterscotch cake. On Sat[13-Aug], I started at 8.15 PM in a two wheeler to buy Egg-less Butterscotch cake in Salem. I was highly confident that it is easy to get egg-less cake in Salem. 

I first approached Saravana bakery [one of the famous bakeries in Salem] at 8.30 PM. Bakery in-charge informed that "Egg-less cake will be prepared only based on order and if you give order now, I can deliver it tomorrow[14-Aug] at 11.00 AM. He also informed that the shop will closed exactly at 9.00 PM due to Aadi festival and if required, you need to pay advance to book your cake". 

I ignored his words, thinking that egg-less cake will be easy to buy and then I started my journey to Lakshmi Bakery. I reached there around 9.20 PM and the person in-charge also informed that there is no egg-less cake. I am little dis-appointed and called my wife and informed that I am sorry that I could not arrange "Egg-less" cake.  

On the way back home, I approached Iyengar Bakery, who also informed that there is no Egg-less cake. By this time, I have realized that I should have Ordered in "Saravana Bakery" when the person have insisted to pay advance and book the cake. 

Let's pause for a minute, and I would like to inform that Saravana bakery, Lakshmi Bakery and Iyengar bakery have varieties of Egg cake for immediate delivery. However, I don't want to buy "Egg" cake at any cost, as I strongly believe in the words of my masters. 

On my way home, many thoughts are running in my mind including the thought "I am highly positive and I should get cake, how I didn't get it".  At 9.40 PM, When I was about to take right to my home, my inner voice guided me to "Be positive" and go straight to Saravana Bakery and try one more time [ I would like to remind you that the Saravana Bakery in-charge strictly informed that the shop will be closed by 9.00 PM ]. 

I would like to follow my hunch and give a final try before I quit my mission. I remembered a quote, "The difference between Ordinary and Extra-ordinary is that little extra". I am ready to go for a extra-mileage to fulfill my mission. 

By the time, the I reached Saravana Bakery, it is around 9.45 PM. All the doors are closed except the entrance. I parked my vehicle quickly and went inside the Bakery and all the employees are cleaning the whole shop. With a big smile on my face, I went to the cash counter and ordered my favorite "One kg Butterscotch Egg-less cake". 

On the way home, I remembered one more beautiful quote "Winners never Quit and Quitters never win" and it will be recorder as one more success story in my life for being positive and to try till the goal is reached. 

Next day, the Egg-less cake is delivered on-time and I am delighted to celebrate the birthday with an egg-less Butterscotch cake. 

Moral of the Story : 

• Be Optimistic in every situation. 
• You might also reach a junction in your life, where you need to take a decision to quit or try one time by being positive. I request you also to try one more time and it might bring success and transform your life completely.  

Experiment to prove the Subconscious Mind

"Subconscious mind is 30,000 times more powerful than conscious mind"

Our human mind has been classified as conscious mind, subconscious mind and Super-conscious mind. Conscious mind is active only when you are awake but subconscious mind is always active, even during your sleep. 

After studying the lives of many successful people including Edison and Henry Ford, Napolean Hill proved that, "once the burning desire is implanted in the subconscious mind, soon it becomes a reality". Dr. Joseph Murphy has provided lots of magic and miracle happenings by the subconscious mind in his book called "The power of your Subconscious mind".

In this article, we will conduct one small experiment to show the power of one's subconscious mind.

• Step 1: Before the you get to sleep in the night, sit in a comfortable position on your bed.
• Step 2: Close your eyes.
• Step 3: Slowly take ten deep breaths.
• Step 4: Now you are in Alpha state where your Subconscious mind is highly active. 
• Step 5: Affirm in your mind, "I strongly believe in the powers of my subconscious mind. I command my subconscious mind to wake me up exactly at 5.00 AM in the morning".
• Step 6: Believe and lie in the bed and sleep peacefully.

To your surprise, your subconscious mind will wake you up at 5.00 AM sharp in the morning. I have tried this many times and my subconscious mind has never failed me.

Similarly, you can use your subconscious mind to improve your health, achieve success, attract wealth, get your dream job, etc by affirmations and creative visualization.

Astrology - How it works ?

Astrology is a spiritual science, that is defined by our ancient sages after lots of research. Even before the Telescope is invented, our sages have detailed the position of planets and the sun with utmost accuracy. Through their extra sensory perception they have discovered the distant planets and the stars affects the quality of a person life in this earth. 

28 days women menstrual cycle is based on the force of the moon. During full moon, the tides are higher due to the effect of the moon. These are some of the example how distant planets and stars affect our life. So based on a person birth star the sages were able to foretell the fate of the person based on the position of the stars and planet.

However finding a real Astrologer who can clearly foretell the future are very less now. If the future written or told by the astrologer is good, be happy.  Be sure that it will manifest in your life. When you receive the good information, your mind believes it and stores it in the subconscious mind mixed with good happy emotions. However in contrary the opposite is also true.

My humble request is not to see the Astrologer/ Horoscope and believe in yourself and God. Be Optimistic and always Think positive about the future. Use Visualizations and Affirmations and do good deeds. You can rewrite your future filled with happiness and bliss by doing good, being good and Thinking good.Believe in God and chant the names of HIM, which has the power to protect you and guide you to a bright future.

Even in Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna have told that "You are the creator of your destiny and you choose your future by your present thoughts and deeds". After knowing this universal secret, I stopped going to Astrologer as my future is in my good thoughts and good deeds. However I leave the decision of whether to see horoscope or not to you. Be Good, Think Good and Do Good and your future will be always Good.

How I got my dream Job by being Optimistic ?

Year : 2004                                                                                                                                     Place:  Bangalore 

As soon as I finished my Engineering I boarded train to Bangalore from Madurai to get a good Job. Still the scene is fresh in my mind. My mother came to Railway station to send-off. In Bangalore, me and my college friends rented a house and started Job hunting. In a city like Bangalore where there is competition from all over India, we intially struggled a lot to get even call letter for Interview. 

However, I am Optimistic and was clear with my goals as below : 

1) Need to get Job in good product Company 

2) Needs to get a Salary of "X" per month. 

3) Needs to get a job within October 2014. 

I got a Job in M.G Road in a small company for less salary. I rejected the offer as it doesn't match with my goals.Then, I cleared TCS written test and Technical Interview and attended HR. One month later I got the call letter for "LG Electronics" in the same day my roommate got the offer letter for TCS. It implictly means that I am not selected in TCS. However, I am optimistic and came to my room and informed that LG is my company. Within 1 week I cleared the Written, Technical and HR and got selected in LG. 

Climax is more interesting all my 3 requirements are fullfiled when I see my Offer Letter. 

1) LG is a Product Company 

2) My Salary is "X' per month exactly what I expected. 

3) I got Job with a joining date on Oct-18 2014. 

If I have selected TCS, I might have got Job before October 2014 but the other 2 requirements might not have met. 

Moral of the Story : 

1) Be Optmisitic in every situation. 

2) When you didn't something, be optimistic that GOD has reserved something BIG for you.
