Review Of the book The Power of your subconscious Mind

During my vacation when I was chilling like anything, My best friend came to me and suggested this book because we both used to read a book a lot as we were introvert :). The Power of your subconscious mind pinned by famous author Joseph Murphy. After reading this book he became one of our favorite authors.

After some time, I suggested this book to my sister to read the same book,

When I began to read the book, it just got me like it will be some kind of other motivational book people brag about, and personally saying I never liked reading such quotes and speeches of speakers to motivates themselves.

It took me roughly around 7- 8 days to finish this book.

The power of your subconscious mind is forcing you to rethink.

It will completely change the way you think, and you can relate most of the concepts that the author Joseph Murphy is trying to convey through this Book.

This book gonna help you to know how your own subconscious thoughts will shape your entire life, your surroundings/environment and most importantly YOU.

He pinned down various techniques like the thank you technique and how to attract the money you need, wonders of sleep and many more with such a brilliant idea.

it will help you have a positive outlook towards your life in general.

Bonus tip :

When you about to finish book it instantly put a smile on your faces :)

Review of: The Rudest Book Ever UDEST BOOK EVER

It will be raw and realistic in nature. it's neither a psychological feature book nor a help book, however a book on views. Means? however, you understand a scenario and the way will or not it's perceived or taken in different ways in which.

The essence of the book is Knowing yourself, however knowing yourself isn't that simple, Knowing yourself comes by questioning yourself in each situation.

When you grasp your'self', you are taking higher choices, the higher the selections you are taking, the higher the person you become that successively reflects the planet (it offers you recognition), easy right. What attention-grabbing regarding this book is, it considerations everything you concern regarding in your everyday life like relationships, rejections, failures, fantasies, status, social media, friends, money, fame, sex, etc.

This book explains however you unconsciously manipulated or programmed by the on top of things.

Few stunning lines from this one,

Most people see their life through others' eyes. (example: what may others be brooding about American state and doing in step with that and ignoring what he really thinks)

Specialness is earned, it's not given by anybody. (example: desirous to be special in others' eyes.)

Not seeing individuals pretty much as good and bad(ex: people in relationships before and when breakups)

Admiring NOT following(What is that the purpose of your brain after you follow others)

Expect the surprising, rejections are traditional.

Attraction ought to solely be the entry-level qualification, it shouldn't be a decision-maker.

The day you'll be able to examine a bunch of individuals all competitory with each other to be higher within the eyes of somebody, and prefer to not be a vicinity of that game, is that the day you win the mental battle of life.Abilities can't be unnoticed.

IDOL WORSHIP IN HINDUISM : DECODED #2

Sanatan Dharma, Hinduism embraces idol worship as the science which opens the door between sadhak and Bhagwan. Idol worship is the easiest and simplest form of worship towards Supreme Sacchidanand. We all are surrounded by materialistic desires, as we are under grip of Maya since our birth. It is impossible to relinquish the grip and remember Bhagwan without imagining his features or idol. Closing eyes and thinking about god or praying in front of idol is the most convenient way of praying God. Without structures or formation, no one can pray to God.

One fundamental thing about hinduism is ,how the Hindu way of life is. With the Hindu, there is no “ism” because it is a geographical and cultural identity. Anyone born in the land of Indus is a Hindu. There is no particular belief system, god or ideology which you can call as the Hindu way of life. Whatever you do in this culture is Hindu. You can worship a man-god and be a Hindu. You can worship a woman-god and be a Hindu. You can worship a cow and be a Hindu. You can worship a tree and be a Hindu. Or you don’t worship anything and you can be a Hindu. Hindu is a cultural identity, not a religious identity. In the Hindu way of life, the only important thing in human life is his liberation. Mukti is the only goal.

Idols in the Hindu temples are not toys or statues. They are physical bodies which have been energized to vibrate in a certain way such that they impact everything around them. The entire concept and the science behind the idols and their handling is given under Agama Shastra, a tantric scientific methodology that has been perfected over many millenia. The idol as indeed the entire temple becomes a vibrating body that can impact any person that is in the vicinity of the temple. This practice of energizing idols was traditionally known as “Prana Prathishta“, literally meaning Establishment of the Life force in the idol. In English, although not completely consistent, we could use the word consecration for it.

There is a whole science of idol-making where a certain form is created with a particular material and energized in a certain way. Different idols are made in different ways where they relocate or rearrange the chakras in certain places to make them into completely different possibilities. Idol-making is that science through which you manifest the energy in a particular way so that your quality of life can be enhanced.

Being practiced from the time of Vedas and Puranas, Idol worship is an ancient tradition in Hindu religion. Hindus worship idols as an embodiment of God which has become a popular lifestyle for people.The science behind idol making and worshiping is quite immense. In ancient India, knowledgeable and erudite people called saints or ‘pandits’ use to meditate. it was their way of simply acknowledging the content without becoming identified with the content. Meditation was considered as a path to connect with the divine power.For people, it became difficult to assume God without a figure, therefore idol worship was introduced. Making idols and worshiping them apparently helped in increasing the concentration during prayers. An individual started shaping up his thoughts with utmost devotion. Idol worship helps people to concentrate, leading to Moksha and gain spiritual energy without any distraction. Temples were constructed as a place of spirit, where everyone could visit and feel the energy to connect to the divine powers. Idol making and worshiping is a discipline which empowers the spirituality among people and help them lead a peaceful life.

In such a tradition, what is God then? The concept of God as described by Krishna in Bhagwad Gita’s 9th and 10th chapters is central to the Hindu tradition per the scriptures as well. When asked by Arjun “Who are you?”, Krishna points to discrete things – from mountains to Vedas to music, to emotions, the good things and bad, and equates himself with all of them. Once he has discussed a fairly vast expanse of discrete things, he declares “I am All”!

God is the infinite, powerful, omnipresent and supreme truth. Idol worship helps devotees comprehend the abstract and formless. A real heart oriented devotee who can connect to god via a stone will never be able to harm any living being. forget about humans, he will be careful not to harm any insect, animal, bird or plants. for a devotee, god is every where. in every living and non-living being. thats why in india we worship ganges as mother, ocean as devata (god). hindus even worship plants like peppel, banyan, mango, bel leaves, tulsi and so on. they even worship birds and animals like cow. why hindus worship them requires another post. but respect for plants, animals or water bodies is respecting life. because without clean water, clean air life can not survive on earth.

In the end ,what can be said is , respecting all living beings, respecting the rights of birds, animals, trees and respecting all religions is the true honouring of GOD & HIS CREATION .

Hello people. First I’d like to “shout out” to all of the mothers. Happy Mother’s Day! I hope everyone enjoys the upcoming celebration. Today’s topic focuses on the origin of what has become known as the lost of tribes of Israel.

In the New Testament Jesus references those who say they are Jews but are not and are of the “synagogue of Satan”. Throughout my life and history of searching for truth, I have come across a lot of material that speaks to this issue. Among them is the book Pawns in the Game, by William Guy Carr, R.D., a deceased Royal Canadian Naval officer who served in World War II. In this work Carr reveals the intrigue behind the major societal revolutions in modern history starting with the English Revolution and ending with World War II.

I make note of this because Carr also speaks on the financial backings and “secret societies” involved in these “coups”. I’m not going to get into the details of all of these entities; you are free, however, to look them up but I will say that they are or should be by now well known in popular culture. Also, a vast amount of information is available on them via the internet and sites like Pinterest.

All of this information “comes into play” when discussing the topic of social revolution because these agents of change, the definition of revolution, work together to “refresh” social order. When speaking of the original Israelites, who were at the center of the most dramatic revolution in man’s history, we must be, or try to be, accurate with every aspect of their humanity. This includes race, ethnicity and politics. It has been made known by a multitude of sources, however “obscure” they may be, that the original Hebrews were African; the Middle East being a part of that continent and the source of humanity stemming from it. Not to be “divisive” or “play the race card” but simply to enlighten, if we look at the times we are now in and observe the dynamics of the politics therein it is easy to see the similarities that exist in Jesus’ time and today. Both societies saw an oppressive government (Roman and American) that sought to control every aspect of the people’s lives. In the case of ancient Rome the constriction was such that God himself/herself sent down his “begotten”, which means brought about by speech, son to alleviate it.

As I listen to self-help gurus like Deepak Chopra, Sadhguru and Dr. Jewel Pookrum, I have become increasingly aware of the necessity to become aware. My humility is rooted in my Christian upbringing. These two work together to bring the mind to clarity. And as two friends of mine once made known to me there is “clarity in victory”. Remember God loves you and so do I.

Sadhguru on Leadership

Sadhguru reminds us about a few fundamentals of leadership, and the role leaders play in human society. Leadership is not about asserting yourself over somebody, he tells us. It is about being able to harness everyone’s aspirations and make things happen. He gives us three basic qualities that will make a leader a fruitful proposition for everyone around him: integrity, inspiration and insight.

What the Bloomsbury India-Delhi Riots 2020 fracas highlights about the pernicious cynicism in Indian publishing

Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story, a book co-written by Arora alongside Sonali Chitalkar and Prerna Malhotra, was initially supposed to be published by Bloomsbury India. Last week, Twitter users noticed an advertisement for a launch event for the book, where BJP leader Kapil Mishra (who delivered a hate-speech-laden tirade in New Delhi’s Jafrabad, shortly before violence erupted there and other parts of the city) was among the guests. The book itself sought to place the blame for the Delhi riots squarely on Muslim students, activists and other people protesting against the controversial CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) — a claim that wouldn’t pass muster with any fact-checking desk on the planet.

The ensuing outrage meant that Bloomsbury first washed its hands off the event, and eventually the book itself. This prompted several liberal commentators, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap among them, to declare that they were not in favour of a ‘ban’ on the book, no matter what its contents. Gurgaon-based Garuda Prakashan will now publish the book — they have a history of publishing Islamophobic texts, so presumably Arora and co. will fit right in.

A couple of quick points before we address the truly important issue here (namely, how lax are Indian publishing’s editorial and fact-checking standards?). First, the whole affair has been incorrectly perceived as a Freedom of Expression issue — it really isn’t. Freedom of speech does not include hate speech and it certainly does not include the right to a lucrative book contract or the privilege of being published by a major international firm. As Garuda Prakashan proved, there’s any number of avenues (including self-publishing) that the authors can use to disseminate their message. Secondly, the word ‘ban’ really should not be used lightly — we were among the first nations in the world to ban The Satanic Verses in the ‘80s, remember, and since then, state and national governments have banned a great many books in India, like Great Soul, Joseph Lelyveld’s biography of Mahatma Gandhi (which Modi banned during his time as Gujarat CM). Ergo, we should restrict the #FoE and ‘ban’ discourse to cases where the state has repressed a book using coercive action — this is very important.

Now, to the matter at hand: Bloomsbury India, and how it handled the entire affair. When an author or authors send a book proposal to a publishing house, this is what happens typically — first, the editorial team deliberates on the book. And if they decide to back the project, they then try and convince the CEO as well as the rest of the teams: Sales, Marketing and so on. And when all of these people agree to proceed with the project and the CEO signs off, the publishing house decides to make a formal offer to the author(s).

Therefore, in this case, there are editors, sales people, finance people and marketing people at Bloomsbury India who looked at this dangerous, malicious, Islamophobic text — fiction marketed as ‘untold truth’ — and decided, ‘Yeah, let’s publish this and make some money at the expense of some of our most vulnerable citizens.’ That, to me, is despicable behaviour.

However, I would also like to inform you that singling Bloomsbury India out for this is myopic. Yes, it’s true enough that Bloomsbury has a shitty track record of publishing Hindutva propaganda.

Here’s the thing, though — so does literally every other big player in English-language publishing. And it’s about time we started calling BS on all of it.

Both Penguin Random House India and HarperCollins India are quite happy to profit off the work of Jaggi Vasudev (better known as Sadhguru), who mixes heavy-handed, faux-scientific bunkum with good ol’ Hindutva talking points. HarperCollins has also published several (terrible) books by Rajiv Malhotra, the infamous US-based Hindutva ideologue who has been caught plagiarising many times (hilariously, he once claimed that plagiarism is actually just inspiration; the Anu Malik defense). Apparently, if you have enough followers on Twitter, your manuscript does not need to be original — or you know, follow even a modicum of ethical or journalistic standards.

Former Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy, whose Twitter account reads like an Islamophobe’s bingo card, was published by Penguin Random House India in 2018; he wrote a biography of Syama Prasad Mukherjee, founder of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, the progenitors of the BJP. Penguin was so eager to publish Roy that they were okay with the fact that Popular Prakashan had already published his book in 2012 (after which it sank without a trace) — it is usually very difficult for previously published books to be acquired anew (this is different from a reprint, both in terms of scale and publicity). Rajat Sethi and Shubhrastha, who were electoral advisors for the BJP’s successful Assam campaign, wrote a book about the experience — called The Last Battle of Saraighat, it was published by Penguin Random House India. Again and again in the book, Bangladeshi Muslims and Bengali-speaking Muslim people in Assam are conflated — this is such a massive and basic fact-checking error that one fails to understand how or why Penguin did not edit those lines.

Basically, readers need to start holding English-language publishers accountable for the questionable and cynical decisions that they make. In February, I wrote an op-ed on the state of English-language publishing in India — the Jaipur Literature Festival had just dragged peaceful protestors out of the festival venue, and once again, the spotlight was on ZEE, the openly pro-BJP media conglomerate and title sponsor of JLF. Those words are just as true for the current Bloomsbury fiasco.

“The JLF and English-language publishing in general are labouring under the delusion that they can continue to be progressive/liberal darlings while behaving like corporate centrists — profiting off low-key controversies (while ignoring much larger, urgent, human rights-adjacent ones), cozying up to those in power, making editorial choices that keep perceived ‘outsiders’ and ‘undesirables’ at arm’s length.”

In 2014, Penguin withdrew Wendy Doniger’s The Hindus: An Alternative History after protests by right-wing groups led by the SBA (Shiksha Bachao Andolan). Among the lawyers who had filed the petition to ban Doniger’s book was Monika Arora. Six years later, Arora has found herself at the centre of another Freedom of Expression row. Delhi Riots 2020: The Untold Story, a book co-written by Arora alongside Sonali Chitalkar and Prerna Malhotra, was initially supposed to be published by Bloomsbury India. Last week, Twitter users noticed an advertisement for a launch event for the book, where BJP leader Kapil Mishra (who delivered a hate-speech-laden tirade in New Delhi’s Jafrabad, shortly before violence erupted there and other parts of the city) was among the guests. The book itself sought to place the blame for the Delhi riots squarely on Muslim students, activists and other people protesting against the controversial CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) — a claim that wouldn’t pass muster with any fact-checking desk on the planet. The ensuing outrage meant that Bloomsbury first washed its hands off the event, and eventually the book itself. This prompted several liberal commentators, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap among them, to declare that they were not in favour of a ‘ban’ on the book, no matter what its contents. Gurgaon-based Garuda Prakashan will now publish the book — they have a history of publishing Islamophobic texts, so presumably Arora and co. will fit right in. A couple of quick points before we address the truly important issue here (namely, how lax are Indian publishing’s editorial and fact-checking standards?). First, the whole affair has been incorrectly perceived as a Freedom of Expression issue — it really isn’t. Freedom of speech does not include hate speech and it certainly does not include the right to a lucrative book contract or the privilege of being published by a major international firm. As Garuda Prakashan proved, there’s any number of avenues (including self-publishing) that the authors can use to disseminate their message. Secondly, the word ‘ban’ really should not be used lightly — we were among the first nations in the world to ban The Satanic Verses in the ‘80s, remember, and since then, state and national governments have banned a great many books in India, like Great Soul, Joseph Lelyveld’s biography of Mahatma Gandhi (which Modi banned during his time as Gujarat CM). Ergo, we should restrict the #FoE and ‘ban’ discourse to cases where the state has repressed a book using coercive action — this is very important. Now, to the matter at hand: Bloomsbury India, and how it handled the entire affair. When an author or authors send a book proposal to a publishing house, this is what happens typically — first, the editorial team deliberates on the book. And if they decide to back the project, they then try and convince the CEO as well as the rest of the teams: Sales, Marketing and so on. And when all of these people agree to proceed with the project and the CEO signs off, the publishing house decides to make a formal offer to the author(s). Therefore, in this case, there are editors, sales people, finance people and marketing people at Bloomsbury India who looked at this dangerous, malicious, Islamophobic text — fiction marketed as ‘untold truth’ — and decided, ‘Yeah, let’s publish this and make some money at the expense of some of our most vulnerable citizens.’ That, to me, is despicable behaviour. However, I would also like to inform you that singling Bloomsbury India out for this is myopic. Yes, it’s true enough that Bloomsbury has a shitty track record of publishing Hindutva propaganda. Here’s the thing, though — so does literally every other big player in English-language publishing. And it’s about time we started calling BS on all of it. Both Penguin Random House India and HarperCollins India are quite happy to profit off the work of Jaggi Vasudev (better known as Sadhguru), who mixes heavy-handed, faux-scientific bunkum with good ol’ Hindutva talking points. HarperCollins has also published several (terrible) books by Rajiv Malhotra, the infamous US-based Hindutva ideologue who has been caught plagiarising many times (hilariously, he once claimed that plagiarism is actually just inspiration; the Anu Malik defense). Apparently, if you have enough followers on Twitter, your manuscript does not need to be original — or you know, follow even a modicum of ethical or journalistic standards. Former Tripura Governor Tathagata Roy, whose Twitter account reads like an Islamophobe’s bingo card, was published by Penguin Random House India in 2018; he wrote a biography of Syama Prasad Mukherjee, founder of the Bharatiya Jan Sangh, the progenitors of the BJP. Penguin was so eager to publish Roy that they were okay with the fact that Popular Prakashan had already published his book in 2012 (after which it sank without a trace) — it is usually very difficult for previously published books to be acquired anew (this is different from a reprint, both in terms of scale and publicity). Rajat Sethi and Shubhrastha, who were electoral advisors for the BJP’s successful Assam campaign, wrote a book about the experience — called The Last Battle of Saraighat, it was published by Penguin Random House India. Again and again in the book, Bangladeshi Muslims and Bengali-speaking Muslim people in Assam are conflated — this is such a massive and basic fact-checking error that one fails to understand how or why Penguin did not edit those lines. Basically, readers need to start holding English-language publishers accountable for the questionable and cynical decisions that they make. In February, I wrote an op-ed on the state of English-language publishing in India — the Jaipur Literature Festival had just dragged peaceful protestors out of the festival venue, and once again, the spotlight was on ZEE, the openly pro-BJP media conglomerate and title sponsor of JLF. Those words are just as true for the current Bloomsbury fiasco. “The JLF and English-language publishing in general are labouring under the delusion that they can continue to be progressive/liberal darlings while behaving like corporate centrists — profiting off low-key controversies (while ignoring much larger, urgent, human rights-adjacent ones), cozying up to those in power, making editorial choices that keep perceived ‘outsiders’ and ‘undesirables’ at arm’s length.”
