Dasagrandhi Charan Talks

In our previous episode, we discussed why mistakes are the capital of a successful life and how to realize mistakes. Here we discuss how to work on fixing mistakes.  The realization of mistakes and weaknesses tend to usually put us into thinking how not only one is affected, but also how people and the environment around us are affected. There is no exception to committing mistakes. Everyone does! But directing energy towards overcoming that weakness to make it stronger is what makes a successful person. What’s next? One might argue that the shortcoming has been identified and one shall put efforts into it. It’s all resolved. Really? How much committed are we in implementing correction measures? The question arises – are we so self-centered that we cut off slack to ourselves and try to escape from our mistakes/shortcomings? Justification for an action to escape facing our weakness – is it really the right thing to do? How honest we really are? How often do we assess, scrutinize, and evaluate in-depth our failures? The answer lies in an honest self-analysis. Analyze situations, consequences, and effects of an action honestly and without the fear of accepting mistakes – this is what is important. It helps us grow as a person. With an open mind, welcome criticism from the ones you trust. Being strong enough to analyze constructive criticism and modify weakness into a strength. After all, we are all born to succeed. Committed efforts and positive feedbacks are the boosters that drive us towards success. The harder one works, the sweeter are the fruits of success. Amplify your spirits and spread positivity around! Shun laziness and set an example for your kids, dear and near ones, society, and humanity! Time to Awaken the true self in you … Awaken the true self in you. Believe in your Unique strengths, keep up your spirit, honesty and route your efforts with no drain of enthusiasm and commitment!

Right from my childhood I was a little embarrassed and felt somewhere logic is missing on why we should celebrate a birthday and what is so great there to wish about a birthday? The same thought used to come even when every time I attended birthday parties, where darkness invites you to blow-off candles. In this process when I thought of why to celebrate a birthday? What falls out in the journey of human life from year to year till the final stage of life? I realized some people losing life at an early age due to some ill health or by some accident… If so, what is our ultimate journey of life contributing to? The result is just DEATH… Despite whatever we do in our journey of life right from start to end, the end result is death. So what is the use of celebrating a birthday? This describes the transparency of life from a different perspective and motivates my life to understand in depth. The day you are born is the day when you start your journey towards death. So your number of years reminds you of a life span that is fully spent or not in achieving your desired goals. What is there to celebrate a birthday when nothing is achieved out of it. All I say to myself is just chill and add some meaning to life than celebrating your journey to death. So that people celebrate your life even after your death. This is how you can make your life meaningful to you and your's loved ones – ultimately God has gifted one life, so let’s use it effectively Rather than passing lifelike insects that take birth and die within a span of minutes... This should be the mantra of your life to make it more meaningful and add some life to years and make your death bed a bed of roses. This is the greatest attribute one can give to their parents… So my dear fellow human beings start being humans.. WAKE UP ARISE AWAKE STOP NOT TILL IS REACHED..

We come across many unpleasant things in life, they irritate us, and they make us angry. We all struggle to get out of the unpleasant things, but unknowingly we carry them more than pleasant things. Rather than the unpleasant thing, it is our reaction to it all the time in our brain spoils the things. There is no point in remaining hurt by the unpleasant events over and over again after it is over.   Doing so you are spoiling your present. The present is very precious to build your future, so utilize it to the best before it becomes past!  All we need to learn is to move on in life, leaving negativity behind, instead of carrying it like a king in a chariot!

All these years, most of us have been wasting our energy and strengths by pointing out the mistakes of others, rather than focusing on ours. Here we are just trying to escape from our mistakes.  Nothing more than that! We all speak and try to work on getting great skills and tactical ways to progress in our life and most of have been successful to an extent, but not to complete of course. To prove that you are truthful to the society, we are just building a big mess around us and start self-claiming to be the most truthful and honest people on this earth. We are soo much swallowed by the laziness and lies that,  these idiotic natures evolved as not our weaknesses alone, but they became our character and individuality unknowingly. Because of which we just find fault with others, rather than looking at ours. If someone starts pointing at your mistakes, most of us don’t like it and even get angry on them...  I don’t know about others, but I did in the past. Here I don't mean that others' mistakes are not there...There might be! Simply thinking too much of others being responsible for everything, doesn't help us much. Moreover, it results in hatred and negativity and no way it helps in our development... Of course, we need to consider other's mistakes that are affecting us. But before pointing at others' mistakes I believe self-analyzing would be wiser and healthier. I think to do this we should think of “what mistakes in me let all my attempts fail”. Here, it is important to keep our ego aside and start looking into ourselves. Look at your mistakes, only to realize how it affects us and others, then minimize them and does not repeat... Guys, it's not the mistakes that matter the most, but it is your strengths that matter the most. (I would suggest making a table of weakness and strengths) Most of us despite knowing these simple things we fail in life, due to lack of commitment in the implementation process! What’s Stopping you! Nothing is stopping other than YOU YOURSELF! So, Stop being Unfaithful to your SELF! The main problem is, most of us at times become self-centered and try to become an escapist from the situation that points our mistakes... Probably most of us do. I don't know about others, But I for sure did in my life in the past…. Which is why I failed to learn from my failures…  But dear it should not go to a level where you do only to justify your actions and to escape from the consequences or to showcase your honesty, which truly doesn't exist... Moreover, we rarely do a post-mortem of anything that happens to us, instead of finding fault with others…. Analyzation helps, but doing just from our point of view to just for justifying your actions to save yourself is not enough! Take someone help who is dear to you... You are born to succeed, friends...More than anything, just be truthful, both to yourself and to others who really wish your wellbeing! Guys never lose hope!  Everyone gets one chance in life to correct mistakes or to achieve something... But not always too! So, when you get such a chance, I beg you to utilize to the best and be an honest warrior…  Nothing is a piece of cake and nothing is harder too. Prepare for the worst in your battle and give the best... There is nothing wrong with struggling strong to reach your goal and to achieve the greatness of your life... Other than this for what the hell are you born!!!  Deliver some value for the birth you got...   Read More articles: http://www.dasagrandhicharan.com/category/life-lessons/

Every technological development that intends to deliver value or be a part of the human lifestyle must have a humane approach. Today businesses and professionals in a hurry to make business or get their job done, hardly treat customers and fellow professionals as human beings. what is life without compassion, morality, and values? In a rush to make profits, we don’t value people as much as we value short term profits, we simply view them as cash cows. It is pitiful that a human cannot understand a fellow human’s value and simply tend to forget that they are also consumers ultimately.  When one can’t relate to human suffering, it will not be possible to understand the actual problems and work towards solving the conflicts/problems. So, here where IS the question of the relationship with the customer? If this is so, making business or money goes totally out of context and meaningless.  In this podcast, we discuss why delivering value matters, and this alone works in business or personal life.  Read full write up:  http://www.dasagrandhicharan.com/do-or-die-delivering-value-only-works/

It is natural for everyone to make mistakes. But, the percentage of people who do mistakes knowingly is more! Here we are going to introspect and understand how this is happening and how to correct it! Being bound in endless illusion, we pretend and convince ourselves that what we do, and what we think is right! Moreover, we think we are progressing rather than understanding the mistake. So, let us start fixing mistakes! Correcting is an act of courage; it is not weak or coward. 

One of the biggest problems in life would be handling expectations. And I am sure some of us will be victims of expectation phenomenon.  We often say that I expected this would happen if that doesn’t happen! We get distressed/depressed and thereby resulting in unhappiness. Here if we observe expectation is the root of misery.  Let us understand how to decode ways to handle expectations..

Considering the current state of country and where we are heading, it is need of the hour to restructure our strategies to build nation. Here is where Swami Vivekananda's message comes in.

Often, we consider pain negative rather than an opportunity to learn some special lessons in life. Pain is the special gift of life through which you unlock special lessons in life.

Handling expectations in life is the toughest thing, if not managed properly will affect your life very badly. In this episode, I discuss the secret mantra to handle expectations in life effectively.

f you observe your body is constantly fighting for you even in the times you neglect it and poison it with a lot of junk food and unhealthy habits.  You are constantly exposed to many infections and viruses or disease-causing agents. But your body keeping all these secrets to you and fighting to keep your health! The moment your body losses the spirit of fighting you are no longer alive and simple flu can cost your life.  Remember your body is your great companion of you and protector of you! Not your wife, parents, or children can be that great warrior for your life as your body!  When your body is exhibiting such an immense character of a great warrior. How fair it is for you to discourage it with fear?  Let us raise our courage to infinity scale, as truly it is and fight the situation with strong mental health! Strong will has no defeat, as your spirit of fighting is immortal by inspiring many around you!!

Your mental health is key to physical health! We have seen many examples where people with strong willpower have overcome many dangerous diseases. Some people live with it lifelong but do incredible things without worrying about the illness. We have many examples, like Stephen Hawkins.

A warrior never stops his fight to attain victory. If you read about any war, you will observe despite fellow soldiers dying one doesn’t lose his courage and focus on whatsoever that may happen in a fight and continues to fight for the greater cause. So should we fight in life without fear of death, even though we lose many things! Death is not in our hands but fighting with courage is definitely in our hands! My dear friends, it is very unfair to accept defeat with fear even before fighting the war.  Remember the great saying of the Chinese warrior Sun Tzu, “Every battle is won before it is fought!”

We often get stuck in the past and spoil our present. We also struggle to focus, even though we know this is leading to our destruction. To help us in this process, I present your story of monks, one of the most inspirational stories of my life.

Life is a learning process, so in this process, we come across many unpleasant experiences that we may have done to us or someone knowingly or unknowingly orIt can be bad experiences with some situations or persons or it can be something related to losing your goals or beloved ones... Most of us in some point of the time we have evidenced past trauma.. When such situations happen, these memories suck us completely into it so intensely that to get out of this bad past or experiences for some it takes a lifetime, while some are losing life not being able to handle it, while some keep repenting and get stuck in life without any progress… are these that worthy is the question? Also is it something negative to have such bad past or experiences? We thoroughly deep dive in to this to learn how to handle bad past experiences in the best possible way and transform life.

In the age where education is merely a business, the student-teacher relation is more of a financial transaction where students give money in return teacher gives education. The student sees the teacher as if he is teaching because he is paying, and the teacher looks at students as a source of income. In this situation, where and how does the educating process can happen? That is the reason why we see today, students don’t have respect for teachers and the same is with teachers too. So only the divinity and morality in the knowledge transfer process is lost, this is the reason why our present education system is unable to produce students with great character.  This is a  story is from Chandogya Upanishad that inspired Adi ShankaracharyaJi too.  Blog: http://www.dasagrandhicharan.com/understanding-the-process-of-learning-from-satyakama-jabala/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1z4YmIHK0GpRz60frDJsgIInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/charan7326/

Life is a war situation. Like in war, we should always be prepared for some surprises and unknown challenges every second. In our lives we face various challenges where, be it in career, relationships, goals or any other sort. These situations will really shake our true strengths and put us in self-doubt of can we really set ourselves back on track and fight back. These challenges are no different than facing an enemy in war, if you loose your focus a nano sec you are no more. The same is in life too. To win this war of life, always think of yourself as a warrior who never stops his fight whatsoever may happen to him or in his surroundings. A warrior never stops his fight to attain victory. If you read any war, you will observe despite fellow soldiers dying one doesn’t lose his courage and focus whatsoever may happen in a fight and continues to fight for the greater cause. So should we fight in life without fear of death, even though we lose many things! Death is not in our hands but fighting with courage is definitely in our hands! My dear friends, it is very unfair to accept defeat with fear even before fighting the war. Remember the great saying of a Chinese warrior Sun Tzu, “Every battle is won before it is fought!” In this war situation what we need is not helplessness, fear, and lack of courage. All we need is courage, a fighting spirit, a strong will to overcome this situation and trust within ourselves and unity… Let’s not live life with fear, it is not the basic nature of this gigantic creation.  Because Fighting spirit is in your birth and creation. Why do you want to kill it, when you are body is fighting for you?? Be that warrior, train yourself to be such a warrior to such great battle of life. Have immense trust in you and you have that character of a warrior. My dear sister just awakens the warrior in you, for that you need to lot of training and prepare yourself to be that great warrior. Train yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally and attain that skill.. Anything can be attained with constant practice. You need to remember that you practice anything for a long time for you will master it. Feel blessed to have this life as you actually are! For survival, nature has gifted you the inherent quality of warrior for survival. It is we who is killing it! Awaken the true warrior hidden in you, there is no good time for it. Why do you want to pretend that you are weak when you actually are not! Come on let's awaken the warrior and live life with full strength. Finally, I would like to conclude by reminding the saying of Chinese warrior Sun Tzu, every battle is won before it is fought! ‘Thank you

Transformation within is the key to success in life. We all want to stay happy, transform our life and be successful. In this process, Knowingly or unknowingly we keep battling with ourselves than an enemy outside. This happens because subconsciously we are aware that happiness or success or life is within and nothing outside. That is why we all fight with ourselves in most of life. Some are lucky enough to get guidance in the form of a guru. The guru helps to reinvent and transform our life to understand life and relevant ourselves to reach greater heights in life through self-investigation and self-analysis. But not all can get guru, even if you don’t get there is no need to be disappointed as life is the best teacher. All we need to do is stay attentive, sincere, honest and enthusiastic to learn. To help you in the process of self-investigation and self-analysis, I present 10 questions you should ask yourselves. These help you to re-invent and transform your life.

Keeping Mental health strong and positive is very important to fight any sort of odds including physical health. Especially during these challenging times to physical health it is very important to keep mental health strong and positive, even though it situations are completely negative outside. So, here I discuss 13 ways to keep your mental health strong and stay positive: 1. Avoid negative news and information. 2. Read and Think about some success stories and positive news. There are many ordinary people who did extraordinary things. You too or friends around you are one among them. 3. Listen to nice lectures, music or read books that keep you positive. 4.Watch some nice funny videos or movies or documentaries. 5.Recall the good and positive things you did in your life either sitting alone or with family. 6.Believe in yourself. mental strength is far capable than your body and can motivate your body to fight odds. Your body is constantly fighting for you so all you need to do is support it by being positive. 7.With fear do not lock yourself in closed rooms, it locks your mind too. Have some fresh air and sit in sun at least for 30min. This will fill calmness, D-vitamin, and positivity- as nature is always positive. 8. Food is medicine as per Ayurveda. What you eat is 40 % medicine, so eat healthy food. 9. Stay adaptable, balanced, and learn to talk to yourself. (people feel lonely as we are not meeting friends and family or some in quarantine feel depressed) 10. Don't argue with people or against the bad situation. argument heads nowhere and instead destroy mental peace. You got to accept life as it is. 11. Avoid postponement of tasks, be it in your personal or professional. Set reminders to alert yourself. 12.Try to do Yoga or some exercise to keep your body active and to avoid being lazy 13.
