WHEN THE COMMON MAN IS CRUSHED UNDER SORROW, HE BLAMES GOD FOR HIS MISFORTUNE. BUT MEERA THANKS HIM. "YOU LIBERATED ME FROM ALL ENTANGLEMENTS," SHE SAYS. "YOU ENGINEERED ALL THIS SO THAT I CAN WORSHIP YOU". SHE DOES NO REALIZE WHEN SHE HAS LOST HERSELF COMPLETELY IN THIS WORSHIP. WORSHIP OF GOD FOR HER IS WORSHIP OF LORD KRISHNA AND NONE OTHER. SHE CAN TOTALLY SURRENDER TO HIM WHO HAD COME DOWN AS AN INCARNATION TWENTYFIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO. SUCH DEVOTION ATTRACTS RIDICULE, STIGMA AND ALSO ATTEMPTS TO KILL SUCH A DEVOTEE.

'ईश्वराराधना व्हावी म्हणूनच अशी तजवीज केलीस.' असं म्हणते. ती ईश्वराराधनेत कधी रममाण होते, हे तिचं तिलाही कळत नाही. ईश्वराराधना म्हणजे फक्त कृष्णाची आराधना. पंचवीस हजार वर्षांपूर्वी अवतरलेल्या कृष्णावर ती पंचवीस हजार वर्षांनंतर स्वत ला समर्पित करू शकते. अशा भक्तीला नावं ठेवली जातात, कलंक लावला जातो, जीवे मारण्याचा यत्न केला जातो. तरीही प्रसन्नता, शांतता, सुमधुर हास्य विलसत ë

INTRODUCTION FOR JAGPRASIDDHA VHA- "JAGPRASIDDHA VHA" IS A UNIQUE BOOK ON PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT. IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION, WE ARE FACING FIERCE COMPETITION IN EVERY SECTOR OF EMPLOYMENT AND PROFESSION. BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND TOP LEVEL MANAGEMENT OF ALL ORGANIZATIONS FOCUS ON THE QUALITY OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES. QUALITY HAS TWO ASPECTS; TECHNICAL OR JOB RELATED SKILLS AND THE BEHAVIOURAL SKILLS. OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM GIVES THE KNOWLEDGE AND THE TECHNICAL SKILLS. BUT UNFORTUNATELY ATTITUDINAL AND BEHAVIOURAL TRAINING IS MISSING FROM THE SCHOOL AND THE COLLEGE CURRICULUMS. INCULCATION OF THESE SKILLS IS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR SUCCESS IN ANY PROFESSION. "JAGPRASIDDHA VHA" ATTEMPTS TO REVEAL THE FIVE ASPECTS OF PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT. IN THE PHYSICAL PERSONALITY ONE HAS TO CONCENTRATE ON "HOW DO I LOOK?", "HOW DO I PRESENT MYSELF?" AND "HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY HEALTH?" AUTHOR EMPHASIZES THE FACT THAT INTELLECTUAL PERSONALITY DOES NOT DEPEND UPON THE INTELLIGENCE INHERITED BY YOU BUT HOW DO YOU SHARPEN YOUR INTELLECTUAL CAPACITIES. VARIOUS METHODS AND TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED FOR THE GROWTH OF THE INTELLECTUAL PERSONALITY. EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT ARE THE KEY WORDS IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT. EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, TEAM BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP QUALITIES BUT RARELY PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO IMBIBE AND NURTURE THIS ATTITUDE AND QUALITIES IN ONESELF. THIS BOOK HAS GIVEN SIMPLE BUT IN-DEPTH EXPLANATION ON BUILDING UP YOUR EMOTIONAL PERSONALITY. IN THE DAYS OF "SOCIAL NETWORKING" YOUR TRUE SUCCESS LIES ON THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF YOUR PERSONALITY. SOCIETY OR THE PEOPLE AROUND US INFLUENCE OUR PERSONALITY WITH POSITIVE AS WELL AS THE NEGATIVE STROKES AND COMMENTS. HOW TO RECOGNIZE THESE STIMULI? HOW TO REACT AND HOW TO DRAW BENEFIT OF THESE STROKES IS THE FOCUS OF THE SOCIAL PERSONALITY. NOTHING CAN BE ACHIEVED UNLESS YOU HAVE A STRONG SPIRITUAL BASE. THE CHAPTER ON "SPIRITUAL PERSONALITY" DISCUSSES THE CORE VALUES AND BELIEF WHICH GIVES STRENGTH TO YOUR PERSONALITY. ULTIMATELY, PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT IS A PROCESS. IN ANY AGE GROUP YOU CAN START IT. WITH APPROPRIATE EXAMPLES, STORIES, QUESTIONNAIRE, CHARTS AND ANECDOTES, THE PROCESS HAS BEEN DISCUSSED IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE. READER FEELS AS IF THE AUTHOR IS PERSONALLY TALKING TO YOU AND THE BOOK IS WRITTEN JUST FOR YOU. आपण यशस्वी व्हावे, पैसा-प्रसिद्धी मिळवावी, जगप्रसिद्ध व्हावे ही सर्वांचीच इच्छा असते. पण यासाठी आपल्या व्यक्तिमत्त्वाची जडणघडण कशी करायची, व्यक्तिमत्त्वाचे विविध पैलू, आपली गुण-वैशिष्ट्ये, कौशल्ये, क्षमता यांचा विकास करण्यासाठी नक्की काय करायचे हे समजत नाही. याचे मार्गदर्शन एकत

IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE, IF YOU USE SCIENTIFIC PROCESS THEN MASTERING THE ART OF SALE IS VERY EASY. IN THIS BOOK I HAVE EMPHASIZED ON BOTH SCIENCE AND ART BOTH. I AM SURE IF YOU READ IT YOU WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT SELLING IS EASY. विक्री करण्यासाठी विक्रेत्याला पुढाकार घ्यावाच लागतो. विक्रीचं काम पुढाकार घेतल्याशिवाय होऊच शकत नाही. कित्येक नवशिके सुरुवातीला पुढाकार घेतात, पण नकार मिळाल्यावर लगेचच शेपूट घालून मागे येतात. त्यानंतर ते आयुष्यात कुठेच पुढाकार घेत नाहीत. त्यांना पुढाकाराचा धसकाच बसतो व ते कोशात जातात. मग संपूर्ण आयुष्यभर त्यांची फरफटच होत राहते. पण सेल्समनचं काम किती सोपं आहे हेच या पुस्तकातून दाखवायचा प्रयत्न केलेला आहे. फक्त शास्त्रोक्त पद्धतीने विक्री केली तर ती अतिशय सोपी होते आणि मग संपूर्ण आयुष्य सुखी होतं. ज्यांना ज्यांना विक्रीच्या व्यवसायात जा

IF YOU REALLY CARE A BIT ABOUT JUSTICE THEN DO NOT INDULGE YOURSELF IN VAIN DISCUSSIONS OR DO NOT EVEN SIT IDEALLY. SOMEONE SOMEWHERE HAS TO START THE CONTEST AGAINST THE EVIL PRACTICES. ONCE THE WAR STARTS THEN NATURALLY THERE ARE GOING TO BE BLOWS AND ATTACKS ON EACH OTHER BY BOTH SIDES. IF YOU REALLY INTEND TO START THE FIGHT, THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR GETTING HURT. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ESTABLISH THE ETERNAL TRUTH THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO SEE BEYOND YOUR OWN PROFITS, YOU WILL HAVE TO WIDEN THE HORIZONS OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING. न्यायाची चाड बाळगायची तर केवळ चर्चा करून, सोयीस्करपणे गप्प बसून भागत नसते. दुष्पप्रवृत्तीविरुद्ध कधी ना कधी लढा पुकारावाच लागतो. आणि लढाई झाली की वार होणारच! ते झेलण्याची, प्रसंगी होणा-या जखमा सहन करण्याची तयारी ठेवावीच लागते. प्रासंगिक फायद्यावर नजर ठेवून सर्वांनी वागायचे ठरवल्यास सत्य कधीच प्रस्थापित होणार नाही!

'चिकन सूप फॉर द सोल' या पुस्तकाच्या पहिल्या भागाप्रमाणे या पुढच्या भागातही जॅक कॅनफिल्ड आणि मार्क हॅन्सन या अमेरिकन जनमानसाच्या लाडक्या लेखकांनी देशविदेशांतून अनेक कथा मागवून त्यांचं संकलन केलेलं आहे. आजच्या युगातल्या मानसिक ताणतणावावरचा रामबाण उपाय ठरलेल्या या कथा वाचताच मनाची मरगळ, नैराश्य झटकन दूर होतं व वाचक नवचैतन्याने आयुष्याला, त्यातील संकटांना, अडीअडचणींना हिमतीने सामोरा जातोच. या कथांचं टॉनिक मिळाल्यावर वाचकाला स्वत त जो बदल जाणवतो त्या अनुभवाचं कथन तो आपल्या जवळच्यांना, मित्रमैत्रिणींना ऐकवतो व मग ही देवाणघेवाणीची न तुटणारी साखळीप्रक्रिया पुढेपुढे जात राहते. खरंच कधीकधी अशा साध्या, सरळ सत्यकथांतून थोडंफार तरी समाजपरिवर्तन होऊ शकतं ना?

(कैद्याला असतो तसा!) त्याचं बालपण प्रश्नग्रस्त होतं. कौमार्य कुस्करलेलं. तारुण्य अव्हेरलं गेलेलं. तो वयात आला तसे त्याचे प्रश्नही वयात आले. प्रश्नांनी त्याला प्रौढ केलं. प्रश्नांनीच त्याचं पालकत्त्व पेललं. प्रश्नांनीच तो शिकला-सवरला नि सावरलाही! आज त्याच्या पुढे आ
