WHY VISIT TEMPLES ? (Scientific Reason)

There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here.

Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or *Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.

Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or *poojaris* performing the pooja. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver. When done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical energy further aiding in a different good aura. The effect of all these energies is supplemented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper plates and utensils in the *Moolasthan*am / *Garbagraham*. *Theertham*, the “holy” water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not
plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom,*Karpura* (Benzoin), zaffron / saffron, *Tulsi* (Holy Basil), Clove, etc...Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinal values. Three spoons of this holy water is distributed to devotees. Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy. Besides, the clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & *Tulsi* leafs protects one from common cold and cough, cardamom and *Pachha Karpuram* (benzoin), act as mouth fresheners. It is proved that *Theertham* is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized. Hence it is given as *prasadam* to the devotees. This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the Temples. This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so that you will be cured of many ailments. They were not always superstitious. Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by deities. When people go to a temple for the *Deepaaraadhana*, and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there. The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy to all. This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits. It is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women. Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idol’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s blessings. This act is now justified after reading this article. This act of “seeking divine blessings” before using any new article, like books or pens or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation.

Energy lost in a day’s work is regained through a temple visit and one is refreshed slightly. The positive energy that is spread out in the entire temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply absorbed by one's body and mind. Did you know, every Vaishnava(Vishnu devotees), “must” visit a Vishnu temple twice every day in their location. Our practices are NOT some hard and fast rules framed by 1 man and his followers or God’s words in somebody’s dreams. All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, well researched, studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to lead a good healthy life.

The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as “elder’s instructions” or “granny’s teaching’s” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to the mediocre brains.

Only 17% engineers are fit to enter IT services, says report

Less than one-fifth of the total numbers of engineering graduates are fit to be employable in the IT services sector, said the National Employability Report 2011, released by Aspiring Minds.
"India has a sizable engineering talent pool. However, only 17.45% are fit to enter the IT services industry," Himanshu Aggarwal, co-founder and CEO, Aspiring Minds said. The country produces about five lakh engineers every year.
The report also revealed the percentage of ready-to-deploy engineers for IT product jobs is dismally low at 2.68%. This is because jobs in IT product companies require a strong understanding of computer programming and algorithms, besides soft skills and cognitive skills.
But the study found that the candidates strongly lacked the required skills. "The skills required by the IT product companies at the entry level are very much a part of the curriculum of engineering colleges, which is a worrying sign for higher education," according to the report.
The Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) industry is likely to find 9 out of every 100 engineers employable, while in hardware and networking profiles, the employability stood at 36.75%.
The largest percentage of employability was seen in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector, where about 40% candidates were found eligible. "However, graduate engineers do not form the preferred employable group for these companies due to the belief that these roles cannot match their expectations, both in terms of remuneration and job satisfaction," the report pointed.
The report, which covered more than 55,000 engineering students who graduated in 2011, also highlighted that focus on increasing the quantity of engineers has impacted quality drastically. "With regard to employability percentage in different states, it was found that employability decreases logarithmically with the number of colleges in the state. This clearly shows that opening more colleges is directly impacting the percentage of employable engineers graduating every year."
According to the report, IT companies seem to missing out on the long tail of engineers, who come from campuses other than the top 100, as better employability levels could be see there. More than 70% of employable candidates for any sector are in campuses other than the top 100.
It was found that 50% of employable candidates for IT services companies and 28% of employable candidates for IT product companies are not even in the top 750 colleges, and thus form an invisible pool to most employers, the report said. "There is an invisible talent pool, which lies unutilised due to the absence of a mechanised hiring and inclusion system. There is an urgent need to address this disparity," Aggarwal said.

Quotations

Every successful story has a painful beginning  and every painful beginning has a successful ending ..... Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.


If you are born poor, it is not your mistake but if you die poor it is your mistake.’  Bill gates

Mrs. D. Anil Jyothi Reddy.

CHILDHOOD:

D. Anila Jyothi Reddy was born in Narasimhula Gudem in Hanumakonda mandal, Warangal District as eldest of four children to a common peasant who has lost his employment during emergency. His father was joined in Army but could not continue because of his attachment with the family. The military training that he had, the attitude that he developed, was given to her as inheritance. As it was very difficult for the family to meet the both the ends, he was forced to join Jyothi Reddy BALASADAN, a government orphanage at Hanumakonda as amother less child.

From 5th class to 10th class Jyothi Reddy stayed in orphanage by having solitary life away from home. She used to await if anyone would come and render some help. Particularly during winter season when she used to shiver like anything as her blankets were torn. May be this had a strong influence in her sub conscious and drive her to orphanages often and help the children with all that they require among all the love and feeling of belongingness. Even during summer she never used to go to her village, she used to stay in warden’s house and did all the house hold work for which she was fed.

The empathy that she shows on all the orphans is gained through her own bitter experiences. Recently she made a representation to the Government of India with all her allies to legislate the Rights of the Orphans. She strongly believes the words of Mother Teresa… “ The worst disease in the world is neither poverty nor other, lack of feeling of belongingness, being unwanted is the worst ”. Whenever she visits the Orphanages in India she prefers to spend more time with the orphans. Even they rejoice her company… “ she is more than mother to me’’ says Ranjitha, an orphan who is being sponsored by Jyothi. If you see many college students keep on blaming their environment and parents when they fail to satisfy their wants. A sincere advice to them to visit any orphanage at least once in a year. You better understand the real pain of the life and appreciate what you really have.

MARRIAGE: Mrs Jyothi Reddy passed 10th class with good marks and she dreamed to continue her education. But her parents have contrary plans. At the age of just 16 they performed her marriage with Mr. SangiReddy because of their dire financial position. It is quiet common in rural India, many parents of girl child treat them as burden and try to remove the burden as soon as possible and perform marriage at an early stage. She was innocent and not knowing much about marital life.. time passed ..by the age of eighteen she became mother of two girls. It was very difficult for her to provide the basic needs of her children to feed them and to look after.

EARLY CAREER :
Strong determination to take care of her children made her to persuade her mother-in-law and husband to work in the agriculture to work for money. She worked for Rs. 5 per day as agriculture labour. Many other people who worked along with her on field were impressed by her attitude taught her the basics of hard work of peasants. She worked from 1986 to 89 on field till she got an interesting turn in 1989. Nehru Yuvak Kendra (NYK) started a night school in the village to teach the basic education for adults. As there was no graduate from the village and Jyothi was the only available option, they appointed her as the volunteer to educate the adults after giving some training. It fetched her Rupees 150 per month. She gathered all the co workers in the evenings to the Centre and taught them the basic education with unique play way methods. The Inspection authorities were very much impressed by the initiative and dedication of Jyothi as the volunteer and appointed her Mandal Prerak of Hanumakonda.

ACADEMIC PURSUIT :
After being appointed as Mandal Prerak Jyothi had to visit all the centres of the Warangal district and realized the importance of education and without higher education she can not grow to next levels in life. She completed her graduation and post graduation Distance Mode from Ambedkar Open University. Even University authorities were impressed by her urge for education. She did B. Ed from Anna University and become a
government teacher. But it was not a cake walk for her. She had to cross over all obstacles at home as well as in society. Leaving her village and staying at her work place with her children and husband and balancing family and work and making money by doing all alternative sources as the salary was not sufficient etc,, these were all the different problems higher than the Everests for any rural Indian women. Patience, perseverance and commitment are the secrets of her energy behind this passionate effort.

AMERICAN DREAM :
If the story stopped here there would be nothing much to inspire others. When Jyothi was working as inspector of schools, a relative of her who settled in America came to her place. Jyothi accompanied her during her stay and observed how much change had been taken in the life style of her America settled relative. The way her American relative was spending money for her daughters laid seeds of desires in her. She thought even she could give great future to her daughter if she would go to America and earn there. That time onwards she made up her mind and learnt computers and started saving money for her passport and visa. After series of early failures she could get a visiting visa and flew to America with a little amount but heart filled dreams.
EARLY TRAILS IN AMERICA: As soon as she landed in America she realized it was not an easy task to settle in America. The people whom she believed would give her shelter and support turned off their faces. As money she brought from India was running off she joined as a salesperson in “ Movie Time ’’ a video shop in New Jersey. She stayed as paying guest in gujarathi family. While she was working iin Video Time a known Indian from Warangal saw her and recommended her name to his brother who owned a company called “ CSAMERICA” and she was appointed as recruiter after being trained. Later a well know company ICSA offered her a good job with handsome salary. Again she faced some problems as her visa was not approved and she went for H1 visa. She had to resign her job in ICSA and again had to work for $5 per hour in nominal jobs till she got her H1 visa.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP: She went to Mexico for her VISA stamping. All the hardships of obtaining visa gave her an idea of establish her first entrepreneurship to assist the people to get their Visas. Thus Keys software solutions was initiated. It extended it services like developing software solutions and recruitment and other job providing areas. Jyothi came to America in May 2OOO and by September, 2001 she became entrepreneur. She made her cousin as partner as his partner and extended her business to become more profitable.

FULFILMENT OF DREAMS:
Her hard work, commitment and dedication fetched her the success she dreamed for. She made enough money to take care of her children and her near relatives. Her two daughters could finish higher education in America from prestigious universities and got married to well settled bridegrooms. Her dream to provide good living conditions to her daughters was fulfilled. But she thought it was not here mere responsibility. She has been always thankful to all the people who supported her. She never forgets the pains that she had throughout her life. So she decided to start helping all the needy. She wants to shed tears from the needy orphans who suffer from all inadequacies. She wants to give warmth heart to the pain tinted lives. These thoughts ushered her to take an inspiring turn to extend her service to the humanity.


SERVING HUMANITY:
It is not just a lady went to America and making some money.. and people started calling it as success. It is the attitude and humbleness of Jyothi Reddy which really made the people to notice her and started extending their service to fellow human kind. Jyothi Reddy never forgot her roots. In every visit to India she visits Orphanages, Old age homes and spends time with them, provides them financial assistance. She visits Women’s colleges and empowers them with her life experience. She stands for the orphans and represented to the government to make a legislation to safeguard their rights. She takes her success to heart and not to head. She helped many Indians to settle in America by providing initial shelter and guidance.

FUTURE VISION :
Jyothi Reddy has a vivid and constructive vision to extend her service to needy people. She wants to provide educational facilities and long term result oriented service activities. Everyone should accept the self responsibility and try to be courageous enough to face the challenges. Struggle in life strengthens the caliber of the people. She visits colleges and inspire girl students to take up the self responsibility to empower themselves. She strongly feels that every individual should stop blaming the environment and start helping themselves. God always sends his hidden helping hand through different unexpected sources. We need not to look back when we realize we are responsible for our lives. This is the message that she wants to share with everyone she meets.

A Father's Sacrifice - True Story

This is a true story, dates back to the British rule in India.

The Pamban Bridge is situated in Tamil Nadu, India. At the entrance of the bridge you can see a picture of a weeping man holding some human body parts close to his chest.

This bridge was built during the British rule in India and it was constructed in such a way that the center portion of the bridge could be lifted with the help of huge wheels, so that ships could easily pass under the bridge. On the bridge, roads and rail tracks are laid for trains and other vehicles to pass.

A middle aged man was appointed to roll the wheels up and down when ships arrive. Once he saw a train slowly approaching, while he was pulling back the bridge after a ship quietly passed beneath. He had to pull back quickly or else there would be a fatal accident and thousands would have died.

At that time his 9 year old son came with lunch. When he saw his father struggling with the wheels, he kept the lunch box down and started helping him to roll the wheels to put the bridge back. Suddenly his son's finger got caught inside the wheel and he started crying out. At this time if the father tries to save his son, the bridge could not be put back on time. He had no other option but to ignore his son's cry. With all his strength he kept on rolling the wheels to down the bridge. As the wheels rolled on, his son slowly started slipping away into the huge machine.

Tears rolled down his father's cheeks, but he ignored his son's cry. If he tried to save him, the train will surely fall into the sea and thousands of people will die. Slowly the boy's whole body fell into the machine and his father could hear his bones breaking one by one, until with a loud sound, his head cracked.

The train with thousands of passengers slowly rolled on the rails, without knowing what had happened there.

Though this man performed his duty honestly he lost his only loving son. With extreme lamentation, he pulled out his son's body parts from the machine and held it close to his chest and cried bitterly.

British Government honored him greatly and in memory of this incident they placed the picture at the entrance of the bridge... :'(

Jt. commissioner (traffic Police,Delhi)-Satyendra Garg

सन् 1988 की है, जब मैं दिल्ली पुलिस में अंडर ट्रेनिंग एसीपी नियुक्त हुआ। मेरे घर मेरी मौसी का लड़का आया। उसका ट्रांसपोर्ट का काम है। बातों-बातों में उसने मुझसे मेरा विजिटिंग कार्ड मांगा। मैने पूछा कि तुम्हें विजिटिंग कार्ड की क्या जरूरत आ पड़ी। तुम्हारे पास तो सभी फोन नंबर हैं। तब उसने बताया कि ट्रांसपोर्ट का काम होने के चलते कई बार रास्ते में पुलिस वाले गाड़ी रोक कर परेशान करते हैं। ऐसे में आपका विजिटिंग कार्ड होगा तो उसे दिखाकर थोड़ा रौब जमा लेंगे। तब मुझे एहसास हुआ कि विजिटिंग कार्ड का किस तरह से गलत इस्तेमाल किया जा सकता है। तब से आज तक मैने विजिटिंग कार्ड नहीं छपवाए। सर गाइडेंस लेने आया हूं ऐसे ही 1990 में विवेक विहार में एसीपी लगा। ड्यूटी के दूसरे दिन अनाज मंडी में तैनात एक सब-इंस्पेक्टर मिलने आया। मैंने उसे आने की वजह पूछी। उसने कहा सर गाइडेंस लेने आया हूं। मैं समझ नहीं पाया। उससे पूछा कि मैं तो नया हूं। आईपीसी या केस की तफ्तीश मामले में कुछ पूछना है तो पूछो। मैंने उससे पूछा कि तुम्हारी सर्विस कितनी हो गई तो वह बोला 12 साल की हो चुकी है सर। मैंने कहा जब 12 साल की सर्विस हो गई तो किस तरह की गाइडेंस चाहिए। गाइडेंस यही है कि काम अच्छा करो, शिकायत नहीं आनी चाहिए। वह वह फिर बोला सर कुछ तो एडवाइस दीजिए। उसकी बातों से झल्लाकर मैंने उसे जाने को कहा और फाइलें देखने लगा, लेकिन चलते-चलते भी वह कह गया सब कुछ भी कैसी भी गाइडेंस हो तो दे दीजिए। मैने कहा कि ईमानदारी से काम करो, जाओ बस यही गाइडेंस है। एक-दो दिन बाद जिले के अन्य एसीपी के साथ मिलना हुआ तो मुझे गाइडेंस की याद आ गई और मैं उनसे पूछ बैठा आखिर यह क्या बला है? साथी एसीपी ने बताया कि वह सब-इंस्पेक्टर गाइडेंस के नाम पर आपके घर पर हर माह का दूध, सब्जी, राशन पहुंचाने से लेकर बिजली का बिल, टेलीफोन का बिल या फिर किसी भी तरह के शौक को पूरा करने की फरमाइश जानना चाह रहा था। उस घटना के बाद से अब तक कोई मुझसे गाइडेंस लेने नहीं आया। और जब सिफारिशी लोगों ने की तौबा बात 1997 की है। उस समय मैं नार्थ वेस्ट जिले का डीसीपी था। कुछ दिनों बाद एक डीआइजी रैंक के अधिकारी के स्टाफ आफिसर का फोन आया। एक सब इंस्पेक्टर का नाम लेते हुए उसने कहा कि साहब ने कहा है उसे आजादपुर चौकी का प्रभारी बना दो। मैने सोचा कि ऐसे ही कोई हवाबाजी कर रहा होगा, लेकिन दो-दिन बाद खुद डीआइजी साहब का ही फोन आ गया कि एसओ ने जो काम बताया था, वह हो गया क्या। मैने उन्हें कहा कि आप चिंता न करें। उसके बाद मैने उस सब-इंस्पेक्टर का रिकार्ड खंगाला तो विजिलेंस में उसके खिलाफ एक केस पेंडिंग पड़ा था। तत्काल फाइल मंगाकर उसकी रिपोर्ट के आधार पर सब इंस्पेक्टर को सस्पेंड कर दिया और आदेश की कॉपी सभी आला अधिकारियों समेत सिफारिश करने वाले डीआइजी साहब को भी भेज दी। बुरी तरह भन्नाए डीआइजी साहब ने वह फाइल अपने यहां मंगाई, लेकिन पढ़कर उन्हें समझ में आ गया कि क्या सही है। इस घटना का ऐसा असर हुआ कि जब तक मैं जिले में रहा किसी ने तैनाती के लिए सिफारिश नहीं लगवाई।
