Hello AVS,
We people always refer to many things from foreign authors' books. However, it is a really good attempt to spread the information from our own book "THIRUKURAL." Moreover, I am personally happy because I belong to his state (TAMILNADU) and have been reading Thirukural since the age of 6.
I am truly blessed to have had the chance to read it in its original version (TAMIL). It is a commendable effort to showcase our tradition and culture to this corporate world.
Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information on this forum.

It would have been better if the actual Kurals referred are also given in the write up. There are many footnote numbers in the write up. What do they denote?

When passions overtake senses, we do not recognize our voice raising. This should be remembered and used in day-to-day life. Writing and reading about things like this is okay, but practicing the same is very difficult. Let our HRs (who deal most of the time with humans) practice these words of wisdom. Very timely advice.

Hi AVSJAI,
Nice post, I really enjoyed it. However, I have my own opinion to express. When the situation is serious, keeping close to the heart and whispering or looking at each other silently will not work. There is a limit to everything; one has to shout to get things done as there are also callous people, or else things will be out of control.
Happy Diwali.

But there is a real story of a Chinese worker in a factory who was trapped in a freezer room. He kept on running inside the room to keep himself warm throughout the night until the door was opened the next day by the concerned staff of the company. It is the cool mindset that matters in a crisis situation.

Hi!
In the same line, there is another story. There were three persons walking along the hillside. It was getting dark, and they slipped into a pit but fortunately got hold of a branch of a tree. They clung to the branch of the tree for the whole night, thinking that they were hanging above the hilltop. After dawn, they realized there was only a few inches between their legs and the ground floor.
Moral: The solution to problems is very close to us. It is we who have to find where it is.

Dear Mr. Baskar,
First, let me thank you for your kind words. As a practitioner of modern management, I have been an admirer of the famous 'Thirukural' since my early school days. In a nutshell, I believe that 'Thirukural' is the greatest 'thought' ever written for all walks of life. If we consider the Gita a masterpiece, then 'Thirukural' is a masterpiece as well. I hope you will agree with me.
You can expect more from me regarding 'Thirukural' in my future threads. I will be sure to inform you when I post about it.
Thank you once again.

Dear AVS,
Anger can be compared to a matchstick which has a head but no brain (thinking power). Hence, one has to manage anger, especially at the workplace, but not suppress or control it. If you observe, the word "ANGER" is one alphabet short of danger, and if you add the alphabet "D" in the beginning, the word becomes "DANGER". The best way to manage anger is to become spiritual or, as Paul Wilson of Australia says in his book "The Big Book of Calmness," always get surrounded by good people or positive healthy surroundings which will have a powerful and lasting influence on the mind. Adi Shankara had already said this in his "Bhaja Govindam" where he says association of good people will lead to detachment, which in turn leads to a stable mind, which ultimately liberates you from rebirths. Modern management experts have now started saying that one should always "keep the end in mind when you begin a job/project/work," but Indians always said and practiced this 5000 years ago. They always insisted on what is permanent in this world rather than yield to temporary temptations and gratifications! The prayer, meditation, satsang, etc., are all ways to fill your subconscious mind with pure thoughts. When your mind is filled with pure thoughts, you will generate pure feelings which give rise to good actions! Modern psychologists are saying this now, which was known to Indians long back. So practicing other techniques of anger management and keeping the association of good people will ensure pure thoughts in the mind, and anger will thus be eliminated completely in the long run.

Acknowledge(0)Amend(0)There are officially 22 languages as per India's Constitution with 1652 dialects & 845 mother tongues. There are around 25 different language scripts.
The major language families found in India are 74% Indo-Aryan Languages, 24% Dravidian Languages, and the remaining 2% belong to Austroasiatic, Sino-Tibetan, Niger-Congo family of languages.
Indo-Aryan is a sub-branch of the Indo-Iranian group of languages, which is, in turn, a sub-branch of the most dominant language family in the world, the "Indo-European group of languages."
Sanskrit and Latin are cousin languages. This was established by the noted philologist Sir William Jones in the year 1784 at an address to the Royal Asiatic Society.
The scripts of Indian languages originated from Brahmi and Kharoshthi for Indo-Aryan languages and Grantha for the Dravidian languages. The Indus-Saraswathi Script of the Indus Valley Civilization language is yet to be deciphered.
Also, the oldest living language in the world at the moment is an Indian language, which is "Tamil."
The total number of living languages in the world as of July 18th, 2011, according to the Ethnologue list, is 6976.

Dear VRanganathan,
Bagavath Gita Lessons are wonderful; really needed.
In the first slide, you say, "This PowerPoint presentation" is no attempt to promote or patronize any religion."
I understand your intention behind the statement. However, through this reply, I wish to state that equating Sanatana Dharma with other "religions" is not appropriate. Sanatana Dharma, christened as HINDU religion by foreigners, is not a religion in the conventional sense. This Vedantic thought is essentially universal in appeal and does not promote or insist on one way to the exclusion of every other. Therefore, to equate Vedanta with "religion" or a particular sect is not apt.
Hence, my request is that one need not be apologetic in sharing insights from Vedanta. Psychologists from the West have come to agree that there is rebirth, and the Karma theory is now given credence. Einstein has admitted that for the quantum theory, ADVAITA philosophy and Bagavath Gita were of great inspiration.
One can boldly say, "Veda says... Gita says... Upanishad says... Dhammapada says..."

Making Sandcastles
Hot sun. Salty air. Rhythmic waves.
A little boy is on his knees scooping and packing the sand with plastic shovels into a bright blue bucket. Then he upends the bucket on the surface and lifts it. And, to the delight of the little architect, a castle tower is created.
All afternoon he will work. Spooning out the moat. Packing the walls. Bottle tops will be sentries. Popsicle sticks will be bridges. A sandcastle will be built.
Big city. Busy streets. Rumbling traffic.
A man is in his office. At his desk, he shuffles papers into stacks and delegates assignments. He cradles the phone on his shoulder and punches the keyboard with his fingers. Numbers are juggled, contracts are signed, and much to the delight of the man, a profit is made.
All his life he will work. Formulating the plans. Forecasting the future. Annuities will be sentries. Capital gains will be bridges. An empire will be built.
Two builders of two castles. They have much in common. They shape granules into grandeurs. They see nothing and make something. They are diligent and determined. And for both, the tide will rise and the end will come.
Yet that is where the similarities cease. For the boy sees the end while the man ignores it. Watch the boy as the dusk approaches.
As the waves near, the wise child jumps to his feet and begins to clap. There is no sorrow. No fear. No regret. He knew this would happen. He is not surprised. And when the great breaker crashes into his castle and his masterpiece is sucked into the sea, he smiles. He smiles, picks up his tools, takes his father's hand, and goes home.
The grownup, however, is not so wise. As the wave of years collapses on his castle, he is terrified. He hovers over the sandy monument to protect it. He blocks the waves from the walls he has made. Salt-water soaked and shivering, he snarls at the incoming tide.
"It's my castle," he defies.
The ocean need not respond. Both know to whom the sand belongs...
I don't know much about sandcastles. But children do. Watch them and learn. Go ahead and build, but build with a child's heart. When the sun sets and the tides take - applaud. Salute the process of life and go home.
Have a great weekend.

Dear ch1982 and all,
Incidentally, I am sorry to inform you that I am not in agreement with you on this matter. The intention may be good, but it harms the interest. We are under the wrong notion that anger will help to get the work done. On the contrary, it harms the interest. A father's love for a child is accepted, but it is not at all required. Even a strong 'no' can achieve everything possible.
The issue to be dealt with is why you are not able to control your anger. Perhaps there is an 'unmet desire' to see him succeed, which he has missed in life, forcing him to show anger. It is important to show anger but never become angry - this is the key. I still believe that it is possible to have everything without being angry at anyone. This is from my experience as a teacher for a long time. The case of eve teasing should be correlated because it is beyond this purview.

This is from my experience as a teacher for a long time. The case of eve teasing should be correlated because it is beyond this purview.

Dear AVSJAI,
Reg: An Answered Prayer
I asked for strength, And God gave me difficulties to make me strong; I asked for wisdom, And God gave me problems to learn to solve; I asked for prosperity, And God gave me brain and brawn to work; I asked for courage, And God gave me dangers to overcome I asked for love, And God gave me people to help; I asked for favors, And God gave me opportunities. I received nothing I wanted – I received everything I needed. My prayer has been answered!

Hello Sir,
I have decided to donate my eyes long ago. We should not force individuals to do so; it should come from within. This awareness was created by my father, who donated his eyes 10 years ago. Therefore, all my family members will do the same. After the death of "HIRENDHRAN," we also decided to donate organs.

Dear AVS,
It is nice to see someone making a real effort to bring out the management principles outlined in our various scriptures. I am planning to extract similar principles from the Gita. If you can be a part of it and help me, we can accomplish it together. Similarly, we should also extract the essence of management principles from Chanakya's sayings and writings.

Similarly, a search on the net led to 679,000 hits on Gita and Management at Google. You can see articles and ppt presentations. I visited an exhibition on Sanskrit, in Bangalore, last October, and there a prof from IIMB had displayed posters quoting Gita and its relevance to modern management. Similarly, a search of the net will lead to what we can learn from Ramayana. Have a nice day.

The Mouse Trap
A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. "What food might this contain?" the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.
Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."
The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured, you are in my prayers."
The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose." So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap... alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught.
In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught.
The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.
Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.
To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.
So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.
The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.
So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life.
We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.
REMEMBER... EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a FRIEND!
