Journal O Ram

This morning after my pooja, it suddenly struck my mind and I jotted these line for myself. I think these are very personal to me and help in personal management.


పూజ శ్రద్ధతో చెయ్యాలి, భక్తీ పరవశమైవుండాలి
భక్తుడు రమిస్తువుండాలి, భజన నిర్విరామంగాచెయ్యాలి !!

పిలుపు ఆర్తితో పిలవాలి, చూపు ప్రేమతో చూడాలి
పలుకు ప్రీతితోపలకాలి, చేతలు నిస్వార్ధంగావుండాలి !!

కాపురం హాయిగా చేయాలి, కార్యం దీక్షతో సాధించాలి
పని పూర్తిగాచేయాలి, పాట మధురంగాపాడాలి !!

పెద్దలయందు గురవం వుండాలి, పిల్లలయందు అభిమానము వుండాలి
భార్యయెడల ఆప్యాయత వుండాలి, తల్లిదన్ద్రులయెడల భక్తీ వుండాలి !!

మనిషి ఆత్మగౌరవంతో వుండాలి, మనసు నిలకడగా వుండాలి
మాట హద్దులులలో వుండాలి, మేధస్సు హద్డులుమీరి వుండాలి !!

This is what I could write spontaneously. This is not what I invented, this is what I have heard or read or maybe I know. But I never ever have seen them as Life Principles which is preached in Hinduism. More on Hinduism later. Maybe if I think, I would be able to add some more lines. Maybe that will be more an act of trying to fit something may not be so good. Actually, if you come to think of it, anything which comes first to mind will be a great. All that comes later is secondary. It is said that, while taking few exams or doing a self-examination or self evaluation, the first thing that comes to mind is the right answer or it is what you actually are. If you think in detail you may add judgment (I got the spelling of Judgment correct). By adding judgment you try to put in what is right rather than what is the fact. That's why, it is said that intuition is correct most of the times. Do you agree? Is intuition correct most of the times? It is debatable. Think of it!!

Vocab:
Intuition means a direct perception of truth, fact, etc., independent of any reasoning process; immediate apprehension.

a.	an immediate cognition of an object not inferred or determined by a previous cognition of the same object.

b.	any object or truth so discerned.

c.	pure, untaught, non-inferential knowledge.

In philosophy, the power of obtaining knowledge that cannot be acquired either by inference or observation, by reason or experience. As such, intuition is thought of as an original, independent source of knowledge, since it is designed to account for just those kinds of knowledge that other sources do not provide. Knowledge of necessary truths and of moral principles is sometimes explained in this way.

A sentence: When intuition comes in my way of decision making, I trust in Power of God and make a decision and stick to it with Faith. As I strongly believe that Intuition is human and Faith is Divine!

Philosophy is one subject of my personal interest. The other subjects I would like to dwell on would be Innovation, Management, Psychology and Languages. More details on topics coming in future.

A mantra that will help in my personal management.

A Mantra for life!
I heard this mantra earlier. But have never taken the essence of it. Today is an enlightening day that way as I actually listened to it and have taken it for life. In Shirdi Sai Charitra, Sai says that, "గురువు అనుగ్రహము లేనిదే ఏ కార్యము సాధించలేము అని. జ్ఞాన భోధ చేసే వారిని గీతను బోధించిన సాక్షాత్తు శ్రీ కృష్ణుని గానే భావించాలి అని చెప్పారు." And I got this Guru Mantram from the Sri Mahalakshmi album from Times Music. One classic album to keep for all collectors of devotional music. It is a very divine vibration.

గురుర్ మంత్రం:
ధ్యాన మూలం గురుర్ మూర్తి
పూజ మూలం గురుర్ పాదం
మంత్ర మూలం గురుర్ వాక్యం
మోక్ష మూలం గురుర్ కృప
ఓం శ్రీగురువే నమః !!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
English:
Dhyana moolam gurur moorthi
pooja moolam gurur padam
mantra moolam gurur vaakyam
moksha moolam gurur krupa!
Om Sriguruve namaha!!

Meaning:
The source of Dhyana (Meditation) is Guru's form.
The source of Worship is Guru's feet.
The source of Mantra is Guru's words.
The source of Moksha (Heaven) is Guru's blessing!
Prostrations to Sri Guru!!

Idea:
I got this idea early in the morning, to listen to one (ప్రవచనము) discourse a day from శ్రీమద్రామాయణము, శ్రీమద్ భాగవతము, భగవత్ గీత.
Srimad Ramayanam was written by Valmiki in Sanskrit and a number of other poets wrote it in telugu. Srimad Bhagavatam was written by Veda Vyasa in Sanskrit. Later it was written by Potanamartya in Telugu. Bhagavat Gita was written by .... in Sanskrit and it was translated by Nannaya, Tikkana and Yerrana into Telugu.

Idea:
While offering my prayers, today I have also another idea which originated from శ్రీమద్ భాగవతం discourse which I listened on July 4th, the American Independence day. In the pravachanam it is said that "విష్ణు మూర్తి కి వందనమన్న చందనమ్మ చాల ప్రీతీ". Having know this, I have decided to offer chandanam to Lord Srimaha Vishnu.

Idea:
Create a separate blogspot for PMP and PgMP. As the Objective is to achieve PgMP name the blogspot as PgMP O' Ram which adds to my strength, interest and passion in Program Management. PMP is only a step toward PgMP. Hence the name PgMP O' Ram. For reference to the subject of Project Management or PMP certification go to the blogsopt PgMP O' Ram. The blog is named PgMP O' Ram because the object is to become a Program Management Professional. And PMP is only a step or a intermediate goal towards PgMP. Hence the name PgMP O Ram is apt.

Idea:
I want to improve upon my vocabulary and my spellings. Idea is to capture the words that have a punch and put them on my blog.
For spellings the label will be spell check. Interestingly I will write the word 10 times here to memorize it.
For the effective words I would use the label as Vocab.

For the Thygaraja Kriti kaana kaana ruchira... "కాన కాన రుఛిర కనక వసన" see the blog spot
