This Deepaavali, UK gets a new Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, 42, a Stanford MBA and a teetotaller. Youngest ever. An Asian Hindu. He could move to the top job in less than a decade-long political career. His spouse, Akshata Murthy, is the daughter of Sudha and Narayana Murthy.
Bharathi’s Fieldworker Diary as compendium is getting ready for release soon.
Is it Deepaavali or Deepdanotsav? Atta Deepo Bhava – be your own light. Dhanteras, Narakachaturdasi, Deepaavali, Balipratipada, and Bhai Dooj, Viswakarma Puja. Krishna and Satya killed Naraka. Sita and Rama came back to Ayodhya. Buddha came for a visit to Kapilvastu. Deep Daan on Ashoka completing 64,000/84,000 Buddhist stupas. Health Day. Liberation of Mahavira. Bandi Chhor Divas. Lakshmi Puja. Ganesh Puja. Kali Puja. Kubera Puja. Hanuman Puja. Govardhan Puja. Kharif Harvest Celebration. Victory of light, knowledge and good. New Year. Exchanges of Sweets. Diwali shopping is not less than Rs.200,000 Crore. Firecrackers’ sound and smoke, with very high sound and air pollution.
Munugode by-poll is in the limelight. Maybe a tightrope walk. A friend says, TRS has the edge. Let us keep our fingers crossed on the result and its consequences. Mallikarjun Kharge becomes the President of Congress. Whatever that means. Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo progresses into Telangana. Some non-Congress party leaders/workers join the yatra here and there. Some non-political leaders and workers too.
Stress leads to weight gain. Allergies. Diet and Exercise may not be sufficient to control this. Do weight loss/ dietary supplements work? Is there something called brown fat? Brown adipose tissue levels? Do they keep the body temperature in balance? Can the metabolic rate increase and stay at higher levels? Are Perilla, White Korean Ginseng, Holy Basil (tulsi), Kudzu, Amur Bark Cork, Oleuropein from Olive oil, Quercetin, Propolis useful and safe? Do they increase metabolism and BAT levels, reduce weight, lower blood glucose levels, suppress appetite, enhance energy levels, strengthen immune system, and improve heart-brain functions?
Let us see relationships as customers. External and internal. We also have reciprocal of customers – suppliers, providers et al. We also service ourselves. Should we not look for a holistic ‘customer’ relationship, service, experience and satisfaction? How do we react to failures for correcting, recovery and making the relationship sustainable? What is the resolution time and process for this?
Our paradigm of life is a set of references of how, where, when, what, who, why. This paradigm is not always constructed by us, but handed over to us, and we simply accept and follow. Most often this is fragile and we cling to it to its bitter end. But, when we remain open to unlearn, learn and build a paradigm of reality and potential, we move towards a happy way forward. When we travel we discover other dimensions of realities and other realities, we transcend initial fears and we become wiser and stronger. We see subtle changes emerging in the realm. We see awakened individuals stirring up possibilities, upsetting the status quo. We see experiments taking shape in natural, physical, social, human, financial, economic, emotional, intellectual, spiritual spheres. Towards prosperity, wellbeing and happiness. These seek a cutting crowd mentality – crowd thinking, crowd doing, crowd goals. Against the default behaviour, the path of least resistance. Can we question strong beliefs and world views? Can we dare to walk our own path, swimming upstream? Can we sing our ‘song’, play our tune? Can we live truly? Can we take the road less travelled?
Yes, we can. For there lies our purpose of our life, our living, our leadership, our learning and our love. We need to do all these in co-existence with all ‘life’. This is the way of N. The way of life. In the flow of N. For 7L.
Join us in the yoga of idiosyncratic existence within covariant coexistence co-living, co-action with time, energy in nature – outsahikayoga for 7L.
