My Journey to the Spiritual world

Today I can proudly call me as  a  sadak after attaining my  Guru’s  Deeksha,my whole life has been changed .

As a person I was restless short temper and self centered until one day a sadak had entered my life,  he had invited me  one of the satsang  which was held in Mangalore at Town hall  in 2012  in December and he told me there would be a chanting of Durga Shapatadi.

I was happily accepted his invitation because I was trying to chant Durga Saptahati shlokas part by part  through  CD but the script was  in sanskrit so it was a tough job for me.

 As I heard Avadoot Babaji my first thought is I had baba’s connection from last 6 yrs every morning used to watch his  programmed in TV.


I found his way of teaching is totally different TUM CHAHTE KYA HO he would say all  the time it was a very impressive and wonderring...as the  years passed I have forgotten the whole thing, my daughter’s marriage and the birth of my grandson,  I was totally occupied with my own world. 

After I attended the shibir for 6 days and I had started to chant Durga saptashati  at home  by Babji’s grace I have got and very positive energy within me and I found  changes in my behavior i had become calm and very helpful and the guests felt very comfortable and felt the energy level is high at home  and I was quiet happy for a period of time.

Once again my desire to attend  the shibir become very strong.Last Year on 2013  when my visit to India,I heard Baba's shibir will be holding in Indore.But being very optimistic ,my meeting with my Guru   not stopped me..When my husband was down I   had expressed my desire to attend the Indore shibir and also told him if he is not interested to stay out  and we both decided to travel to attend the shibir.While I am traveling I always felt my Guru is along with me and I could feel his presence all the time. For my surprise my husband enjoyed Babaji's shibira lot.

..My 7days shibir is one of the mile stone of my life.

I was totally surprised to see the big crowd all over from India it looked like another world people were very warm friendly and happy. While  I see Avadoot Baba Swami Shivanandji’s my heart skip the beating ....because I was always praying Babaji  and requesting him to see him personally . To be honest right from  my childhood Lord Shiva was my favorite and  I was sure Lord shiva connected me with my Guru. 

And hear onward my journey went turned into another direction I start visiting to few shivirs and  met  few divine  sadaks who  has changed my life.
In chennai shivir there were many NRI's from all over the world,young  and divine souls ..looking at them i start questioning myself where was I ? am I too late?  And sincerely hope I am not so late ....I was surprised to see the young  girls running to help a hand while serving,cleaning the plates etc.
Especially  in Goa  the foreigners  were the highest  followers of Babaji, their chanting of   swadhya   (bhajans) I really fell like hiding under my chair.....

Today

I am the creator of my own destiny.

I choose excellent health for myself,I choose prosperity for myself,
and I choose wonderful loving relationship for myself.

 I am here not to have fear,anger,disease or suffering but just to give love unconditional love.


 I don't give others the powers to choose for ME...Why let others choose for you?

Awaken your God you name it as Allah,Ram or Jesus he is within you! Before sleeping call Him and He comes.

NAMAHA SHIVAYA.

You are Three ...My dear Boy Donu. 28th May 2014

Happy B'day sweetheart....give me a tight hug Donu.

 Today's grandmothers lead full and active lives that include everything from working and traveling to attending meditation classes join clubs and lead a carefree life.

 But that's no surprise.  When we age we cast off the care and responsibilities of raising our children – as we move on with our lives, . Freedom comes, to do as we please, to stay in our pyjamas all day, should do as we desire, but something happens in the form of a beautiful baby who has the ability to twist us around its tiny finger. Yes, “I am a grandparent” now.

The joy of this tiny babe for one to fuss over, adore, and spoil with no responsibility and to be able to hand back to the parents, adds a new dimension to our lives. The first smile, the first tooth and first word not only swells the heart of the parent but also the hearts of the grandparents too.  

We as grandparents, being older have something so special we can add to the richness of this child’s life; ‘time’.  This is something busy parents rarely can afford. Somehow small children and an older person were designed to be together, small children take tiny steps and notice things a busy parent may not, and  we older people are often slower, and have time – to study a caterpillar or an interesting bug with a young one at our side.

 
 A bond grows between the small child and the grandparents; we can tell them  and show the album what their parent was like as a child. . I do not mind reading the same story over and over again and the joy on their (and our) faces. When we see them fills one’s heart with pure love. This relationship also gives me a chance to find the child in ourselves once again, to sing silly songs and tell silly jokes, to laugh and color in once again.

Through the years, My grandson Dron have enjoyed many rich and wonderful experiences, and now it's time to share  with him.I would love to treasure every moment of his every  child act in his memory book.

 This unique memory book gives a new generation of grandmothers to help a way for the beginners.

His knowledge about IPOD is simply amazing he is my teacher with this new technology  .

My grandchild will love finding out more about me, a fascinating person in your own right, his passion  for cars and  the details and pics of the cars he is really interested in ,not  only that   he tries to explain  me every small detail of his car collection.

 My Grandchild will help you open with the special young people . If  he found the person  sounds  he will pull out their hands and try to open with them,  I am Dron Prabhu your name please..

Reducing wrinkles is probably on your agenda.....? ?

Women while they reaching at   40’s and just beginning to see the first signs of aging, and at 5o’s with skin that isn't exactly keeping your birthday a secret, seeking ways to reduce wrinkles  is probably on your agenda.

At the same time, many of us are losing the wrinkle battle, watching helplessly as the glow of youth goes on the dimmer switch.

"Many women believe that aging skin is inevitable, but with the information and technologies we have today, you really can look as young as you feel,"

Smooth, radiant skin is something everyone wants. While there's no magic bullet, the food you eat, along with a healthy lifestyle, can help some of the visible signs of aging.......How to Reduce Wrinkles:

The sun.

 It's the No. 1 cause of wrinkles,  sotry to avoid limited sun time  to look younger and to have fewer wrinkles. Wear sun screen if you must go out in the sun it will protect wrinkles.

 Get adequate sleep.

  when you don't get enough sleep, the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells. Get enough rest, , and you'll produce more high human growth hormone., which helps skin remain thick, more "elastic," and less likely to wrinkle.

 Sleep on your back.

 Its quiet difficult the people like me

 cautions that sleeping in certain positions night after night leads to "sleep lines -- wrinkles that become etched into the surface of the skin and don't disappear once you're up. Sleeping on your side increases wrinkles on cheeks and chin, while sleeping face-down gives you a furrowed brow. To reduce wrinkle, sleep on your back.

 Don't squint -- get reading glasses!  any repetitive facial movement -- like squinting --

 overworks facial muscles, forming a groove beneath the skin's surface. This groove eventually becomes a wrinkle. Also important: Wear sunglasses. It will protect skin around the eyes from sun damage -- and further keep you from squinting.

 Eat smaller portions. Choose nutrient-dense, healthy foods from all of the different food groups. Exercise, and wear sunscreen. All of these things will help you look and feel younger,\

 These foods deliver nutrients that can help keep your skin looking great.

Oats

oats because they're low-glycemic," foods that don't spike your blood sugar like refined breads, rice, and pasta can. "High-glycemic foods are known to cause acne and wrinkles," Oats also have a natural plant chemical that helps prevent damage to skin cells and soothes skin irritation.

Also try: other whole grains such as shredded wheat, barley, brown rice.

Oranges     These are loaded with water, so they hydrate your skin and your cells, One large orange is an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps make collagen -- and that, in turn, helps keep your skin supple.

In general, vegetables and fruits are great for your skin. Get at least 2 to 2.5 cups of vegetables and 1.5 cups of fruit per day if you're a woman, or 3 cups of veggies and 2 cups of fruit if you're a man. Go for lots of colors so you get a variety of nutrients.

Also try: pink grapefruit, tomatoes, parsley and grapes.

 Avocados

Avocados are filled with a healthy type of fat, monounsaturated fat, which helps your skin stay hydrated,.That same healthy fat can also help you absorb some vitamins and nutrients that your skin needs.

Try replacing high-fat salad dressings and mayo with avocado. "It gives you a lot of flavor and texture, and you don't need much to feel satisfied,".

Also try: olive oil, walnuts,

Also try: eggs, chicken, tofu, beans, fish.

 

 Brussels Sprouts

These are an excellent source of the skin-friendly vitamins A and C, as well as foliate. 

Their vitamin C promotes collagen. And while you still need to use sun protection, vitamin A and foliate may help prevent sun damage.

Try roasting Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of olive oil.

What Can I Do About Grey Hair?

Some gray hairs -- especially coarse hairs, prematurely gray hairs and gray hairs around the temples and hairlines -- are especially resistant to color or quicker to lose color than other gray hairs. 

Try the following suggestions:

·         Apply color to gray areas first. (This gives resistant gray hairs more time to absorb color.)

·         Leave color on longer. (Adjust your timing and try it first in the strand test. Grays could take up to 45 minutes to color.)

·         Increase your hair color level. (If your grays still show up even after you've adjusted the timing on your semi- or demi-permanent color, you might consider going up a level.)

Science is also searching for a better solution to gray hair. I  genuinely feel L'oreal  which enables the natural process of hair pigmentation to take place biologically through a slow oxidation process. With the right proportions, everyone could get back their own natural hair color!

 Researchers are using this new chemical to come up with a new way to enhance hair color or cover gray.

Colored Hair Care and Tips

Color treated hair has special needs. Follow these tips to keep your hair looking great:

·         Use a shampoo created especially for color-treated hair (Revlon, L'oreal, Tresemme)

·         Wear hats or hair products with sunscreens to prevent your color from fading and drying in the sun

·         Dampen your hair with bottled spring water before getting into a chlorine pool (it will help dilute the chlorine)

·         Condition regularly

·         Don't brush hair when wet -- use a wide-toothed comb

·         Blot your hair dry -- don't wrap it or roughly dry it with a towel

·         Avoid over drying  your hair, blow dry until hair is almost, but not entirely, dry

When Should I Go to a Professional?

Technology has improved home hair coloring products, which also contain packets of deep conditioning lotion to prevent drying after coloring.

 So you can probably do a pretty good job at home on your own. However, there are times when it pays to see a professional colorist. For example:

·         You want to lighten or darken your hair more than three shades

·         You've colored your own hair and it's a disaster

·         Your hair is permed or damaged okay,   You have never colored your hair and want a major change so How can I find a good hair colorist?

Your best bet is probably recommendations from people whose hair you admire.

 And don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions the next time you go for a haircut. 

Troubleshooting Tips

·         Getting rid of color stains on skin -- Baby wipes work well, but try to avoid getting color on the skin to begin with and make sure to wipe excess from the ears and hairline before it has time to stain.

·         Coloring during pregnancy -- Some doctors advise their patients to avoid any kind of chemical service during pregnancy. While there's little concrete evidence that coloring during pregnancy is medically harmful so please avoid coloring during your pregnancy period.

·         Color fading due to chlorine -- If your local water contains a high amount of chlorine, you might consider getting a filter for your shower. Chlorine can strip color out of hair and make it very difficult to re-color.

·         Going back to natural color -- To avoid the two-tone effect of letting your color just grow out, have a professional use a similar formula with a highlighting method. In three to four visits, you will be able to stop coloring and not have an obvious line.
