How to engulf yourself with positivity by harnessing Vastu Energies from all directions?

Imagine spending all your time inside a balloon of positivity with Positive Energies coming to you with each breath and coming to you from the sky, earth and around. If you are always surrounded by positive energies, imagine what will happen to your life professional and personal life. How much will your productivity improve, how will your success rate increase, how will your sales and profits increase. Will it not become manifold? Think about it.

An individual spends most of his time at home and workplace. He is always surrounded with three types of Vastu energies – the energies from the cosmos called cosmic energy, the energies of the earth called earth energies or telluric energies and the energies of the space around him or the energies of the structure or space he is spending his time in.

In my experience in vastu audits of several factories, offices and residences I have found one or more of these vastu energies sluggish causing a lot of problems for the inhabitants, sometimes it is office politics, sometimes lack of customers and at other times lack of profits. At home they suffer from lack of love and harmony, constant quarrels, short temper, lack of concentration (in children), lack of bonding between family members and at other times unexpected expenditures.

I have seen the positive changes that these clients have got in their lives after the three energies are harmonized and balanced using very precise and effective vastu remedies in their space. These remedies work like magic and within a month to three months all have reported a positive change in their environment. I have seen health issues resolved, marital happiness resolved, and decision making improved and academic performance improved. In the work front I have seen clients over achieving their yearly targets, sales increasing manifold, productivity of machines improving and quality of products being bettered.

An experienced vastu consultant can measure all these three types of energies; cosmic, structural and telluric and correlate them with your objectives and issues. With his experience he knows what the root cause of your issues is and what and where remedies are required to be installed to remove the negative energies in the space and convert sluggish energies to positive. A positive shift in vastu energies can bring in positive momentum in your life.

Vastu is a science of energies and is the sum total of the cosmic, telluric and structural energies causes the different changes in your life. Depending on whether these energies are positive or negative, optimum or sluggish the changes in life are positive or negative.

Start benefitting from these space energies by consulting a professional vastu expert in confidence.

Ways to tap your sub-conscious mind

Indian saints from centuries knew the power of the sub-conscious mind and ways to tap into this power. They also knew that the biggest challenge in reaching the sub-conscious is the conscious mind.

Sage Patanjali in his epic book – Patanjali Yog Sutras has recommended meditation or mindfulness as the first step to reach your sub-conscious. When you meditate simply by focusing on the gap between the two breaths gradually you reach a meditative state. Modern science has deduced that in this state your brain frequency is 7-8 cycles/second which is also called the alpha state. When you are in alpha state of mind your conscious mind is almost asleep and now you can communicate with the sub-conscious.

The other method is to confuse the sub-conscious mind or fool it in a way that it no longer stops your access to the sub-conscious. While this method too was known to the sages in India and abroad, it has been researched by modern hypnotherapists and psychiatrists. The California Institute of Hypnosis has developed a method wherein they use a script to confuse the conscious mind forcing it to give up. Once that happens the subject is in a hypnotic trance and now the hypnotist can feed positive affirmations to his sub-conscious thereby changing its programming.

The reason why I say that ancient Indian saints knew about this “confusion of the mind” technique is a story about Rishi Valmiki. Rishi Valmiki was a dacoit in his earlier life before Sage Narada advised him to chant “Mara..Mara...” repeatedly to attain enlightenment. Sage Narada realized that with his dacoit mindset he is finding it difficult to chant “Rama…Rama…”  hence he was asked to chant the opposite.

Rihsi Valmiki chanted as advised with full trust and eventually got the enlightenment. Though his conscious mind understood the chant as “Mara..Mara..” his sub-conscious understood it as “Rama…Rama…”  The Rishi subsequently had the good fortune to take care of Ma Sita and train Lord Ram’s sons when they were young.

This is an ideal example on how the conscious can be fooled to reach the sub-conscious

The Asymmetry of Nature

Nature is asymmetrical. Have you seen a mountain which is same on all sides – a perfect cone? Have you seen a river which flows in a straight line? Or a perfectly symmetric tree?

The earth is tilted to one side and revolves around the sun in an elliptical motion. Had it been vertical and revolving in a circle we would not experience seasons and we would not have the beauty of having summer during summers in certain parts of the world. The asymmetry is what brings dynamism.  Nature is dynamic and it keeps changing itself. Symmetry results in a static world. That is why most natural things are asymmetric. Nature has its own way to decide between symmetry and asymmetry.

Yet we strive for symmetry and why is it so? Symmetry is the property of the logical and scientific mind. A logical mind strives for perfection. Perfection leads to constant and constant is static. No amount of evolution can happen with a static because any change requires dynamism. When the mind is illogical can evolution happen. All innovations happen with an illogical mind specially at the level of hypothesis. It is only when the hypothesis is tested on experimentations does the logical mind takes control of the invention and the world recognizes it as a scientific discovery or an invention.

This is what we mean when we talk about “Eureka” moment.

There are several concepts which are yet not proven scientifically and yet they exist as if they are laws. The behavior of the sub-conscious mind is one such phenomenon. In fact, there has been no device discovered which can see the sub-conscious or the conscious mind forget about locating it in the part of the body. When we can see through scientific devices is the brain and the nervous system. But is that the mind? We cannot be so sure.

The Hindu model of Universe explains these concepts wonderfully and is captured beatifically by our ancient sages in Sankhya Darshan (Indian Metaphysics). Everything in Indian philosophy finds its roots in metaphysics.

Fortunately, there is a renewed interest in metaphysics and a lot of work is happening. Many concepts and processes which were not possible to be explained through conventional science are now being explained through metaphysics.

I believe Vastu and Astrology are two important pillars of metaphysics and with time these will be brought into the realm of science once they are fully explained using metaphysics

Vastu Myth- Employees should not sit on the head

Yesterday I was sitting with a leading realtor in India. He is renovating his plush office in Gurgaon. 

The office has two floors. On the ground floor the management will sit and on the mezzanine floor it will be the staff. Over a cup of tea he asked, “Please clear one doubt Manoj ji. Some Vastu expert told me that staff should not sit on the floor above. It is like they sitting on your head. Should I be bothered about it?”

“Bhai ji, If anyone has said this from a vastu perspective it is totally a myth. It does not affect the Vastu of the place at all. The right zones for the right profile is all that matters irrespective if the management is on the lower floor or the employees.”

Having said that, across the world there is a best practice. The Managing Director or CEO of the floor sits on the top floor. Why is it so? The CEO or MD or Chairman has to be the least accessible to the outside world. If there are miscreants who enter a premises the CEO must be the most difficult to reach. That is what top floor and corner office is what is the best practice for placing the CEO. There is a practical reason and not just a status symbol.

So it is not Vastu when someone says that employees should not sit on the heads of the management

AstroGraph of MS Dhoni Signature

MS Dhoni signs his name as “Mahi” an abbreviation for Mahendra and Dhoni. This is also the name with which his friends fondly call him.

Some notable features in his signature are as follows:

1. Lot of oval curves in his signature signifying Moon.
2. Thin and Long Characters signifying Sun
3. A large M in the signature denotes Jupiter
4. The line below the signature like a sword denotes Mars
5. The position of the dot above i and the small last letter indicating Saturn. Note the position of the dot exactly above the “i”.

Now let us analyze how these planets effect MS Dhoni’s traits and qualities. Sun gives him leadership qualities and we all know he is the most successful cricket captain India has ever had. He catapulted India to the #1 Test team and under his captainship Indian team won the world cups in both the shorter forms of the game – T20 and 50:50. In his horoscope Sun is placed in ascendant – A person born to lead

Moon gives him wealth and along with Sun; wealth accumulated from own hands (literally). He earned all his wealth from him dexterity behind the stumps and in front of it. He is by far the richest cricketer due to his big ticket endorsements over the years and his businesses.

Jupiter gives him leadership status and captaincy besides giving him wealth.

Now coming to the most important planet Mars, which is a commander in astrology parlance. As a captain Dhoni used to destroy the opposition with his war strategies. Mars also makes him the best finisher. In his signature the end line signifies that he ensures that the task at hand is finished to his satisfaction

That leaves us with one more planet, Saturn. Look at his eyes (in the picture attached) do you see an extremely focussed person. Well that is Saturn in him. 

Dear Readers, that was my favorite cricketer analyzed for you using astro-graphology.

Astro-Numero analysis of PV Sindhu’s Signature

Before going to the numerology of PV Sindhu let us analyze her signature. As can be seen from the sign they are completely illegible. Unless you know that these signatures belong to her, you will not be able to make out what she has written while signing. Small letters (specially ‘n’) and illegible signatures are two distinct features in the signature.

Small letters signify Saturn and illegible writing symbolizes Rahu. Numerologically, Rahu is represented by Number 4 and Saturn by number 8. The third planet which is predominant in her signature is Jupiter seen by the large “S” at the start of her signature.

Rahu represents attention and Saturn represents focus, hard work and commitment, two features which makes her tick in her game. Focus allows her to make a comeback in the sets. She is a great fighter who believes in herself. She dreams big.

We do not have a reliable source on her time of birth, we only have her date of birth as it appears on 

Wikipedia, - 5-July-1995. As per this her birth number is 5 and life path number is 9.

Before we get into further numerological study for her let us see few facts

1. She broke into the Top 20 of World rankings when she was 17 years old (1+7=8)
2. In 2015 she received “Padma Shri” (2+0+1+5=8)
3. She reached highest ranking of “2^nd Seed” on 4-April-2017
4. In 2008, a correspondent in “The Hindu” wrote – “The fact that she reports on time at the coaching camps daily, travelling a distance of 56 km from her residence, is perhaps a reflection of her willingness to complete her desire to be a good badminton player with the required hard work and commitment.” – a clear property of Saturn personality

Now as per her birth day we see that her birth number is 5 and life path number is 9 while numbers 4 and 8 are frequently reflected in her life. Why is that so?

As per the numerology we practice, we have found that if the birth of the individual is before sunrise and after midnight e.g. 12:30 AM, 4:45 AM, etc. the birth number should be of the previous day. Please note that I am guessing that she was born in the wee hours of 5^th July 1995 and so taking 4-7-1995 as her date of birth the numbers 4 and 8 fall into place.

Lord Ganesha and Vastu

On August 25, 2017, the world will celebrate the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha, the most favorite God of Indians. Millions of people will welcome Lord Ganesha in their homes and pray to him to give them prosperity, peace and harmony in their lives.

Lord Ganesha figurines (or statues) are also the favorite gifts of Indians to give to their near and dear ones during auspicious occasions like Diwali, wedding, house warming, etc. This results in Lord Ganesha being used as a décor and His figurines are placed in different rooms and on different walls as a décor.

Vastu does not suggest that Gods and Goddesses be placed anywhere other than the Puja room. However, the recipients of these gifts are in a dilemma as regards to their placement as many of them are made of material which is not suited for worship like resin and fiber.

In such a case we should look at the statue in terms of its symbolism and form. Lord Ganesha is the God of knowledge and wealth and is also known as a remover of obstacles.

With this vastu symbolism in mind, place the figurine of the Lord in the North (facing South) to fulfill your desires, in the center to harness your skills and in the zone of knowledge i.e. area between West and South West for a sharp memory

May Lord Ganesha bless you this Ganesha Chaturthi

Plant trees in your house as per Vastu

Several people ask me what trees can be planted in the courtyard of home. I researched to know what does the scriptures say.

Matasya Puran in Chapter 255  answers this question as follows:

One should plant Bargad (Banyan) tree in East, gular tree/atti tree (cluster fig) in South, Peepal in West and Pakad tree in North.

In case these trees are planted in wrong directions and it is not possible to cut them you should plant one or more of the following trees to gain overall prosperity and harmony

Ashoka tree (this is not Polyalthia longifolia which the nursery will try to sell you as Ashoka, ask them for original ashoka tree), Moulsari/Bakul, Pomegranade, kewda, chameli, coconut tree, banana tree, chameli tree and Champa (Plumeria).

Planting these trees will bring in overall prosperity and balance in your life.

In case the trees are planted wrongly for example if bargad is in North in place of East, plant one or more of the following trees along with bargad to bring in overall success.

1. Ashoka
2. Moulashri/Bakul
3. Pomegranade
4. Kewda
5. Banana /Kela
6. Chameli
7. Champa

A note on Ashoka tree and False Ashoka tree - . Ashoka trees are small in height, while false ashoka is taller.

Ashoka flowers are red (initially orange in color) while False Ashoka flowers are apple green in color. Ashoka fruits look like broad beans containing multiple seeds while false ashoka fruits are small, spherical and contain only one seed

How Planets reflect in body shape and expressions?

When I saw Ishant Sharma celebrating after taking the prize wicket of Charles in the India-West Indies match held on July 5, 2013 it reminded me of a roaring lion as you can see in the image above. Suddenly, as per the Numerology learning from my guru, it stuck me that Ishant Sharma must be having one of his numero-trident based on Sun. I immediately looked up in Wikipedia for his birth day which I found is September 2, 1988. His supporting number comes out to 1 and his mental power is 2. As can also be seen in the picture below he wears a jersey with a number 1 and his signatures reflect the number 2 (Moon).

For me it was an interesting observation which reinforces my understanding of numerology and a practical application of “observation” helping in correlating numerology with body shape and expressions. Ishant Sharma is an embodiment of number 1 from his appearance – he is lean, tall and lanky.

If a number (or its associated planet) is clearly visible in a persona either through face, body, hair, eyes, walk, hand writing then strengthening that number through numerology will increase the positive attributes associated with that number and benefit the person.

Transform your Signature...Transform your Life

I have been off from this blog for more than three months. As many of you know I was busy in publishing and promoting my book “The Key:Discover the key to wealth creation and financial freedom”.

Well here I am after becoming a best-selling author back to sharing my experiences with my well-wishers and friends.

During the book launch event I met an old friend who literally transformed his life just by a small change in signature.

This friend met me in 2013 asking me what should he do to progress in career. He was an engineer then. I asked him to sign on a piece of paper. His used to cut his name when signing (See an example in the image attached with this post). Generally, those who do that undo their own work making it difficult for them to finish a project or plan execution.

I suggested him to practice new signatures, add his surname in the signatures and then incorporate the change in all official documents, bank accounts, passport, etc. Thankfully he meticulously did all that I suggested and got remarkable results.

He now is a consultant with one of the foremost organizations in the world and that too in a short span of two years.

Signature is a reflection of inner mind and a change in signature results in a change in the sub-conscious.

Kitchen Stove and Kitchen sink should not be together || Vastu Myth

There are several myths when we talk about Vastu. While they do not have any relationship with Vastu they have become prevalent because someone who first thought of it, created a logical explanation and wrote in a book. We all want free and easy knowledge and so many people follow it blindly without bothering whether it is vastu or feng shui or a figment of someone’s imagination.

In this post I will write about one very prevalent myth.

One of the myths in Vastu is that kitchen sink and kitchen stove should not be together especially when it is a one-wall kitchen. The logic given is that fire and water are together so it is not advisable. Several tools are designed by marketers to nullify the effect even when there is no effect.

First Kitchen sink is not water but an activity of disposal and cleaning. Even here we are not disposing the waste from our kitchen but just cleaning the utensils. The leftover food is often thrown in the dust-bin. So kitchen sink is just a place where cleaning is performed and is not even a place of disposal.

Thousands of case studies by Mahavastu experts under the leadership of Vastu Shastri Khushdeep Bansal have concluded that location of kitchen sink does not have any impact on the Vastu of the place. In a Kitchen the location of the kitchen stove, dustbin and refrigerator are on relevant as per Mahavastu.

So do not fret if your kitchen is such that the two are together. Look for real problems which you are facing and life and ask a Vastu expert to solve them. That is the only benefit of vastu – resolution of your life problems all else is superstition.

The illusive assignment || Vastu Case Study

A classmate of mine met me in April this year. He was stuck. A large corporate assignment was not materializing for many months. I suggested him to get vastu done for his apartment, but he was keener in consulting my wife on Vedic Astrology. I was avoiding him because in my mind I knew he will not get results unless the energies are corrected. This was because I realized he is absent-minded when we were interacting.

One day when I returned from office I found him sitting consulting my wife with a pen and paper in his hand. During dinner we were discussing and I asked him what exactly his problem with consultation is. He said, “They are not deciding and have kept all those who quoted hanging for the last 4 months. Everytime I talk to them they say, I am on top of their mind but it will take some time.” I asked, “So mean you are without work these days?” “No, I am doing some small consultancy works for this corporate but I am desperate for this contract because if I get this I will not have to worry for 5 years and Khane-pani ka jugaad ho jayega.” He also revealed that as per his thoughts his luck is preventing this from happening and hence he is keener in astrology than Vastu.

I knew his main door falls in North at the place of Mukhya Devta. I asked him to put a green landcape at this place with the following mantra

सर्वबाधा विर्निर्मुक्तो धनधान्यसुतान्वित:।
मनुष्यो मत्प्रसादेन भविष्यति न संशय:।।

This mantra struck me to be the most appropriate one for his situation so I asked him to superimpose it digitally in white fonts

I also asked him to put the stove in his west kitchen on a jaisalmer stone. Just these two vastu remedies and within a month he informed me that he was interviewed for another long term contract in this period and has bagged it.

As per Vastu Purush Mandala, Mukhya makes your service ready for sale and so Mukhya was activated.

How to spot poverty consciousness Part 4

The Lure For Free

Long ago there was a comic strip in which the woman of the house goes to a sale to buy a VCR. She comes back with a TV. On enquiry from her husband she says, “The VCR was free along with the TV, since we required a VCR I bought the TV.”

While there are some opportunities for free is good, the lure for free can have unpleasant consequences.

When you buy a trouser and get another free, which is good. You are trying to grab an opportunity which has presented itself. Though I have always believed that the price of the free trouser is included in the price of the paid one and nothing is free. However, in case of clearance sale this may be a profitable proposition. The problem happens when we go on a shopping free and buy stuff we do not require just because something free was available along with it.

The bigger threat is when we look for medical advice, astrological advice and vastu advice for free. The advent of social media has fueled this desire of ours that everything should be available for free. When free we do not look at the credentials of the consultant, their track record but are ready to follow what he suggests for free.

Another reason we want the advice free is because it is intangible and we do not want to pay for the knowledge which the consultant has gathered with his qualifications and experience. This is the reason why most consultants give free advice, work on the fear psychosis of the client and sell them gem stones or yantras. The gullible client is unable to hold the consultant responsible as he did not pay for the advice he only paid for the stuff for which the consultant has delivered the goods so the transaction is over and done with.

This tendency of looking for free consultation comes out of poverty consciousness. When you are not ready to pay for the service of others, you are giving a message to your own subconscious that advice is free and so it is unable to attract paying clients to you in the domain you specialize in. You may be deserving a pay rise in office but your subconscious has been tuned by you to not attract that pay rise because talent, experience, qualifications are all intangibles like to knowledge of the consultant whom you do not want to pay.

So in effect by aspiring for free consultation you are feeding the poverty consciousness and not allowing the prosperity consciousness to attract wealth in your life.

The Power of Trust

In Vrindavan, where Lord Krishna was born, there stayed a shepherdess who used to go to Mathura every day to sell milk and curd. Once a saint visited her village and she went to listen to his sermons. The Saint was telling a story and she got hooked to it. The saint was telling that there is a lot of power in the name of God and just by reciting the same great troubles can be surmounted. Just by reciting His name even a whirlpool can be crossed. If you have to cross a whirlpool in life never leave the name of God.

Next day she again went to sell milk to Mathura. On the way she had to cross the holy river Yamuna. Earlier she used to hire a boat to cross the river. This day she thought if the name of God can help you cross a whirlpool, I can definitely cross this river. Thus she silently recited the name of Lord Krishna and started moving forward. Truly she found herself walking on the river as if she is walking on a smooth road.

She started using this method every day and in her heart she used to thank the saint for sharing this mantra. One day she thought that she should invite the saint for lunch since he has done so much for her. So she goes to his residence in Mathura and invites her. The saint accepts and accompanies her to her village.

On reaching the banks of the river the saint starts calling the boatman. The shepherdess is surprised and she asks him, “Why do we need a boat when we can cross the Yamuna walking on it?”

“What are you saying young lady? How can we walk on Yamuna?”

“O Great man, you were the one who taught me this method. I just recite His name and walk on the river.”

The saint could not believe it so he asks the lady to first walk on Yamuna and he will follow her. She recites the name of God and starts walking. The saint follows but as soon he puts his foot on water he falls down. The shepherdess realizes that the saint has fallen in water. She comes back and holds his hands. With her support he too starts walking on Yamuna. Soon they reach the other side.

The saint falls to her feet and says, “I have been professing the importance of the name of God and to use it as a source of hope but it is you who has truly done that. You are a great soul.”

This story has been in circulation in Hindi on WhatsApp groups. My question to all my readers is “What is the relevance of this in Vastu as a Vatu practitioner and as a Vastu client?” I look forward to your comments below

The Hindi version of the story is as below:

वृंदावन की एक गोपी रोज दूध दही बेचने मथुरा जाती थी, एक दिन व्रज में एक संत आये, गोपी भी कथा सुनने गई,
.
संत कथा में कह रहे थे, भगवान के नाम की बड़ी महिमा है, नाम से बड़े बड़े संकट भी टल जाते है. नाम तो भव सागर से तारने वाला है, यदि भव सागर से पार होना है तो भगवान का नाम कभी मत छोडना. कथा समाप्त हुई गोपी अगले दिन फिर दूध दही बेचने चली,
.
बीच में यमुना जी थी. गोपी को संत की बात याद आई, संत ने कहा था भगवान का नाम तो भवसागर से पार लगाने वाला है, जिस भगवान का नाम भवसागर से पार लगा सकता है तो क्या उन्ही भगवान का नाम मुझे इस साधारण सी नदी से पार नहीं लगा सकता ?
.
ऐसा सोचकर गोपी ने मन में भगवान के नाम का आश्रय लिया भोली भाली गोपी यमुना जी की ओर आगे बढ़ गई. .
अब जैसे ही यमुना जी में पैर रखा तो लगा मानो जमीन पर चल रही है और ऐसे ही सारी नदी पार कर गई, पार पहुँचकर बड़ी प्रसन्न हुई, और मन में सोचने लगी कि संत ने तो ये तो बड़ा अच्छा तरीका बताया पार जाने का, रोज-रोज नाविक को भी पैसे नहीं देने पड़ेगे.
.
एक दिन गोपी ने सोचा कि संत ने मेरा इतना भला किया मुझे उन्हें खाने पर बुलाना चाहिये, अगले दिन गोपी जब दही बेचने गई, तब संत से घर में भोजन करने को कहा संत तैयार हो गए. अब बीच में फिर यमुना नदी आई. संत नाविक को बुलाने लगा तो गोपी बोली बाबा नाविक को क्यों बुला रहे है. हम ऐसे ही यमुना जी में चलेगे.
.
संत बोले - गोपी ! कैसी बात करती हो, यमुना जी को ऐसे ही कैसे पार करेगे ?
.
गोपी बोली - बाबा ! आप ने ही तो रास्ता बताया था, आपने कथा में कहा था कि भगवान के नाम का आश्रय लेकर भवसागर से पार हो सकते है. तो मैंने सोचा जब भव सागर से पार हो सकते है तो यमुना जी से पार क्यों नहीं हो सकते ? और मै ऐसा ही करने लगी, इसलिए मुझे अब नाव की जरुरत नहीं पड़ती.
.
संत को विश्वास नहीं हुआ बोले - गोपी तू ही पहले चल ! मै तुम्हारे पीछे पीछे आता हूँ, गोपी ने भगवान के नाम का आश्रय लिया और जिस प्रकार रोज जाती थी वैसे ही यमुना जी को पार कर गई.
.
अब जैसे ही संत ने यमुना जी में पैर रखा तो झपाक से पानी में गिर गए, संत को बड़ा आश्चर्य, अब गोपी ने जब देखा तो कि संत तो पानी में गिर गए है तब गोपी वापस आई है और संत का हाथ पकड़कर जब चली तो संत भी गोपी की भांति ऐसे चले जैसे जमीन पर चल रहे हो.
.
संत तो गोपी के चरणों में गिर पड़े, और बोले - कि गोपी तू धन्य है ! वास्तव में तो सही अर्थो में नाम का आश्रय
तो तुमने लिया है और मै जिसने नाम की महिमा बताई तो सही पर स्वयं नाम का आश्रय नहीं लिया......

How to spot Poverty Consciousness Part 3

A friend accompanied me to a famous temple in Indore. After performing the Pooja I donated a small amount in the DaanPeti placed in the Mandir.

Seeing me he said, “You know God does not need your money and if he needs He is not God.”

“Yes I know that He does not need money but he definitely want me to share.”

“If you want to share, why don’t you share with poor?” He argued. I got really annoyed.

“Is that what you do? When did you last donate to poor?” I asked.

He kept quiet and started looking elsewhere.

This is the state of affairs with many people. When it comes to donate in a temple they say it is better 

to donate to poor and when it comes to donating to poor they will come up with newer excuses – “It is all a mafia”, ‘why can’t he work?”, ‘Did you see that child in the arm of the woman was sleeping? Why are they always sleeping? You know they are drugged.” These are the responses you get for not sharing their money with poor.

In Christianity there is a concept of tithing where good Christians are encouraged to donate ten percent of their income to the church. The church then uses it for community good. A similar concept exists in Islam. Unfortunately the majority community in India does not practice any such thing. If any religious guru suggests such a thing we all will troll him on social media, main stream media and maybe on the roads too. He will be labelled to be regressive. Why? Just because we want excuses for not giving.

The act of giving is a sure sign of prosperity consciousness. By giving you are sending the message that I have abundant money and I am willing to share. The universe then gives you more such that you can share more.

By making excuses and justifying your “non-sharing” behavior you are actually telling the universe that you are living in scarcity and not having any intention to partake with what you have. My guru says it is better to give food to poor rather than money but give you should.
