My journey to Mathura....

Leelas of Lord Krishna are many and one such I experienced at ISKON Temple. A Sunday morning we had gone to take darshan of 'Kanhaiya Ji',  ISKON temple's architecture  is a marvel by itself and the rush on Sunday was unbelievable. With a great difficulty could find a place to park. I had my father & Mother in law along with us. Father inlaw was actually suffering from very low vision to be left alone and therefore was being escorted by the children at each step. Good to see values being inculcated among children. When we reached the main hall it was full of  devotees, we looked for some place to settle and then mother and wife went to take darshan, after they returned, my son became the pointsman to guide,  as we went little ahead I saw a shorter line and I just entered,  at the entry I was checked, the person at the check point said "it is for members and non members to buy ticket", I shot a reply with confidence "Member, Member", the guy at the spot gave a little vague look but in benifit of doubt let me go. After the darshan we came back and somehow I had an inner feel to take darshan once again, probably I was being tested,  and this time again at the line I mentioned "member" though my innercounsous gave me a call that it was incorrect, but I thought if I declared I am a non member, he would ask me, just a few minutes back I had said that I was a member, so I maintained my statement not realising that He knew everything !!. Well, as I came back after second round of darshan,  I saw my wife's wiered expressions, it was clear to me that something was amiss, soon found that a clutch purse which was kept inside her hand bag had been picked away, which had about 11k cash. After that it was all cursing, why God did it to us? Why me? somewhere I knew the answer but had no guts to reveal the truth after all it had been a loss of 11K and Ladies don't pardon even GOD then who was I to be pardoned. Well, we raised the complaint with the authorities and came back home with a heavy heart. I was discussing with wife , when I told her that I think I knew why she lost purse, it was God who taught us a lesson, I explained her that I lied as being a  member to take an undue previelage and we paid cost of skipping the donation que. I told her if I recollect it correctly, it was the second time when I repeated the mistake then she had lost the purse, may be the God had to teach  us the lesson. She said "I have told Krishna Ji you did this to me, I would not come to your temple for darshan" I said but you shouldn't have said that.  A few days later, know what happened, we got our transfer order to Mathura the Birth place of Lord Krishna. She said I wouldn't come to your temple, Krishna called us to His place...and my journey to Mathura began.....

Tme Management Mantra: TIME allocation is the key to Success...

If I were to ask you, to name a few currencies of the world, you would have told me Rupay, Dollar, Euro and so on... but wouldn't have mentioned 'TIME' as a universal currency. Sounds crazy! Then lets discuss and I am sure by the end you would be in agreement. Time is the only eternal currency that has ever existed since time immemorial. All wise people have stated "take control of your time and life will be in your control". Do you know, time is like any other financial currency? You only get to buy things, when you spend your money on them, you don't get to buy things when you don't spend money. Exactly like this the abilities on which you spend your time currency are the fields in which you excell and the more you spend your time the faster and farther you exccell. So, you see, it is important to mark and check, the core activity on which you spend time, because  time is finite in terms of how much you have in a day and infinite in terms,  that you will get it everyday, but let me caution you, it's finite when you look at your entire life span. If we understand this, then I think we are done and can achieve whatever we want. All you need to do, is to pick up right activity or ability in alignment to your goal.  Spend the currency of time on it and see the magic happening. The progress is initially slow but after acquiring the threshold the progress rises exponentially.

 Try it out and find it to be true!. As the financial typhoons do budgeting and allocation, Time is also required to be allocated. All successful people allocate the time to their goals and mark it in their calendars, which sets the bearing and serves as compass. Well, if you don't allocate the time, the beauty is that, it would any which way pass. Allocation defines the organised construct of your day and reduces the randomness. If you are not organised the randomness of the schedule takes over and the progress made is least.  The sum total of randomness is always Zero, its a universal law and it holds good. Often we see the success of a person, but never realise the amount of 'Time Currency ' spent on it to get this success. Successful people allocate time to buy success, unless you allocate time you can't buy success. Hey! Don't  get me wrong,  only allocation won't  help, execution and  living through the allocation is most sensitive part of it. You know, it is well said,  "Show me your calendar and, I will tell you, five years from hence where will you be". Don't look at your Kundli, instead look at your calendar daily, weekly, monthly and yearly. Have a vision in you life , put a date and convert it into a goal, allocate time towards it in your calendar and see it manifesting.  If I were to put my  learning in a simple and subtle way , it would be "Allocate Time and Manifest your Dreams".  Ok, do an exercise, close your eyes, and think about your dream, it could be seeing your son as an engineer, daughter as a doctor, fixing up your relationship or for that matter, you may want to be a perfectionist in a hobby or a sport of your liking. But the moot question remains same, how much of time have you voluntarily allocated to all these dreams of yours on daily basis? Do you have them slated in your daily  calendar? You don't have to tell me the answer, you know it for yourself. Your calendar is your compass  for life time, if these dream destinations are fed in it day by day and month by month then you are bound to reach at your dream destination else you are onboard a ship without a rudder. If your calendar is blank, then it will get filled by somebody else's priority and you would end up working for somebody else's vision. So better have your own and cement it with time allocation. it's profound piece of advice absorb and follow. Hope to see your dreams manifesting.
