I want to share this through a short story, which I had heard many years back . Vishu was barely an eight year old boy, his father had not received his salary for nearly five months, as he had taken up a new job which was closer to home, his previous job was in an another city and he was home sick and was not happy without his family. Five months is however a long time, he was running out of his savings, his wife had mortgaged all her jewelry except her mangalsutra. Soon the electricity was cut off,the kitchen was getting empty,looking at all this he decided to join a new location but this would only happen in the next month. The next day was a saturday and his family was invited for a Sunderkand Paath. Vishn's parents did not want to go as they had nothing to offer in the Puja plate. Vishu and his elder brother decided to go, do the paath and then have the tasty prasad. As they were walking a man on a scooter just zoomed by them, something dropped from his pocket, it was his purse ,they picked it up and ran a bit to return it,but the person had gone far,they waited a few minutes but he dint return. They were getting late so the quickly went for the sunderkand, joined in it joyfully and had the tasty prasad. While retuning they opened the purse and saw Rs.2000 in it ,they dint know what to do, they instantly remembered the poverty they were going through,they quickly went to a store close by and brought few kilos of rice and salt ,they thought it will last them long, they will not have to sleep hungry, till the father gets some money. As they reached home the told the parents about the incident, they said you both should have not spent the money, but the boys said mother we can't see you and dad hungry everyday, so we took this as Gods gift, the mother cried tears of gratitude and was happy that her family will not sleep hungry today. Next day the family's prayers were answered the employer gave Vishnu's fathers salary and paid him some compensation for the delay also. He went home and before spending any money he put it in his home temple and prayed to the lord just like he had received a jackpot. He called Vishu and his elder son and gave them 2000 Rs from it and told them to go and put this in the temple donation box, with tears in his eyes he said God helped us when we needed it now we must return it. The one who leads a life of honesty is never outside the grace of God. Faith and sincerity are very important in the journey of life. The most beautiful part of the story is Vishnu's father returning the money through the hands of his children. Add up to your good deeds, a tiny act of kindness here an there, a gesture of affection, a uttered word of compassion, some help you can extend to someone are some of the forms of spirituality accordingly to me . Spirituality ...By Mrs. Anjali Sachin Miniyar अध्यात्म-अर्थात आत्मा का अध्याय। हमारा आत्मा कई संस्कार रुपी पंनोंं का अध्याय है। हर संस्कार से कई विचार जुडे हुवे है। जैसे खाने में मिठे के साथ तीखा जरूरी है, सब्जी में मिरची के साथ नमक जरूरी है; उसी तरह आत्मा पर किये गये हर संस्कारों का ( बुरा हो या अच्छा) हमारे विचारों पर सीधा असर पडता है। यही विचार हम जब आचरण में लाते है, तो वह हमारे कर्म बन जाते है। तो जितने खुबसुरत एवं मजबूत हमारे विचार रहेंगे; उतने ही सक्षम हमारे कार्य या कर्म रहेंगे। आत्मा को संस्कारित करणे हेतू, हम कई प्रकार के माध्यमों का चयन कर सकते है। योग साधना, ध्यान धारणा, प्राणायाम, रेकी इ. माध्यमों से हम हमारे आत्मा पर सही संस्कार कर सकते है। ऐसे संस्कारों पर व्यतीत किया हुआ वक्त जन्म जन्मानंतर तक हमारा साथ देता है। इनके कारण हम अपना जीवन सरल और खुबसुरत बना सकते है।। बडी सुंदर सृष्टी का निर्माता है ब्रह्म; पर जीवन की सुंदरता को बढाता है हमारा कर्म।। Spirituality ... By Dr. Vrishali Bharat Somani Being with one's own spirit is spirituality. Its main focus is to promote an individual's personal experience with God (within one's own self). Spirituality is a philosophy, science and art.......the 'Art of Awareness' Awareness is the state of constant connection of a person with the surroundings. Benefits :
You have to be aware to capture a look of your long lost friend who is passing by you on street. You will miss all of them if you are walking down all the way listening to the thoughts of your mind. This is what happens to people a lot of time. They hypnotize themselves by listening to the thoughts in their head, and hence they are not aware of anything around them. Spiritualism doesn't just mean to abandon the materialistic life and seek into the no man places like Himalayas or jungles but it can also be achieved by anyone in their day to day chores without leaving the 'bhautik sukhas' Exercises : The art of awareness, though not easy to, but can be inculcated by few 'being mindful techniques' like
"What can I hear that I love" " What do I smell that I love" When you ask your mind the questions, the mind can't help itself but to give you the answers. It has to stop other thoughts immediately so as to come up with your answers. This way you are driver of your mind! "The mind acts as enemy for those who don't control it." .... Bhagwat Geeta It doesn't take long to train your mind to focus on your own spirit (awareness), and once you have just watch what happens to your LIFE! Spirituality ... By Mrs. Preeti Yogesh Bhutada "Akelaapan" v/s "Aikaant" from the Gita *'अकेलापन'* इस संसार में सबसे बड़ी सज़ा है.! और *'एकांत'* इस संसार में सबसे बड़ा वरदान.!! ये दो समानार्थी दिखने वाले शब्दों के अर्थ में आकाश पाताल का अंतर है। *अकेलेपन* में छटपटाहट है तो *एकांत* में आराम है। *अकेलेपन* में घबराहट है तो *एकांत* में शांति। जब तक हमारी नज़र बाहरकी ओर है तब तक हम. *अकेलापन* महसूस करते हैं और जैसे ही नज़र भीतर की ओर मुड़ी तो *एकांत* अनुभव होने लगता है। ये जीवन और कुछ नहीं वस्तुतः *अकेलेपन* से *एकांत* की ओर एक यात्रा ही है.!! ऐसी *यात्रा* जिसमें *रास्ता* भी हम हैं, *राही* भी हम हैं और *मंज़िल* भी हम ही हैं.!! Spirituality ... By Mrs. Priyanka Kumar Kabra Spirituality!! Ohh, that’s a heavy word! I had many elucidations of it, but didn’t know whether my thoughts made sense. Like always, Google gave me succour. To my astonishment, even it had sundry definitions. It was then, I decided to let myself be original and cling to my thoughts. In the process, I deciphered that spirituality is a very subjective topic. To each, it’s own! Technically, spiritual is derived from Latin word ‘spiritualis’. It means ‘concerning the spirit’. Here, the spirit can signify soul, breath, vigor or courage. For me, if I had to append all these in two words, it would be FAITH and LOVE! They are all elements that aid to reach the ultimate pinnacle – GOD through faith and love. If we go into the history and depth of spirituality, I surmise it will take coon’s age to finish the article. So, keeping the crux in mind, I pen down my seat of affections. According to my concept, a person who has faith is a person who is spiritual. One not being religious or not going to the temple will not abide him/her from being spiritual. As Anthony Douglas Williams has rightly quoted, “Spirituality does not come from religion, it comes from the soul”. Also, we all have learnt since childhood God is omnipresent. And yes, he is! Thus, why a special venue to meet him? Now, the question arises on how can one create that connection with Almighty? The answer is through spirituality – the faith and using the path of meditation. Meditation acts as a catalyst that sparks extraordinary results. Spirituality reinforces us to uplift ourselves. It assists us in making aware of the things, surroundings and environment around us. Indispensably, it makes us aware about our self and this is the biggest and arduous revelation. Once we are acquainted of what concoction we are made up of, the world is our oyster! We have one life, let us make it large!! Let us all come together and ensuingly make the world a better place to live in. Lastly, I want to quote this popular adage: “Faith is like a wi-fi, it’s invisible but it has the power to connect you to what you need”. Spirituality … ! - By Shri Anand M. Bhutada I think Spirit & spirituality is a combination of all seven colors including light & dark shades of nature. Just want to specify that spirituality is a fact that is to be accepted without comparing. In nature cycle we can see that all seasons i.e. Summer, Winter, Monsoon are equally important. Every shade is having its own significance. Important is to treat everything such that it is a gift from god. This is nothing but spirituality. The feelings while to serve any living should remain as service to god, then only it would be called spiritual. I remember one nice phrase here “शिवभावे जीवसेवा ” It clearly says that service given for only & only fulfillment of needy person will always be much brighter than given for name & fame. So instead of donation of various factors like food, clothes, money etc. better will be to donate whatever concerned person needs at that time. To fulfill his need at our best & forget it is the only spirituality. If we observe the journey we will realize that first of all - thought arises, then accordingly situation is created & finally actual activity / job is performed. So we can say that thought is the seed for every activity. Then for seed to reap, needed is peaceful mind in the form of soil. Essential is only that seed should be certified from respective authority means our thought should be approved one. Here question arises that who will approve this? It’s very simple. Already our bright guru parampara have made this job easy for us. In every dharma grantha all approved 24 carat seeds are clearly mentioned. Essential is to accept them & acceptance should be on basis of science and not on the basis of our available knowledge. I think the person who has this tripod of: Acceptance of thought + peaceful mind + ability to act = Spiritual. As Swami Vivekananda always use to say “One life one mission” ……simply like that, one of the seed in the form of thought if accepted from bottom of our heart can frame our life in to a mission & that will be the only spirituality. If we make a habit to care & respect each & every small & big factor of nature & find happiness to serve them I think spirituality would not be anything more than this. It is the only thing to accept & shake hand with the rules of nature. Guru always say that when you run behind money or any other materialistic comfort, keep in mind that when soul will leave this body everything will remain here. Money & property will remain at its own place. Relatives will accompany only till the last rites are performed on chitah . Body made up of five elements will be handovered to fire & then........ Who is going to accompany you?? Answer is only & only your karma will accompany you. So to make good karma with no expectations will be the only spirituality as our lord says, अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो माां ये जना: पययुपासते | तेषाां ननत्याभिययक्तानाां योगशेम वहाम्यहम् || meaning, with single-pointed meditation, those who are constantly engaged in my worship, I carry the burden of acquisition & preservation of their needs.

Recently, Aditya Puri, previous MD of HDFC Bank, met up with Carlyle and Ares-SSG to put resources into PNB Housing Finance. This speculation if and when finished up would trigger an open proposal by Pluto Investments S.a.r.l., a Carlyle associate, for an extra 26% of PNB Housing Finance offers, and Puri and Ares-SSG would almost certainly be the people acting in a show (PAC). This proposed exchange was dependent upon administrative endorsement and has today arrived in the Courts after SEBI tossed a spanner underway. It hit a further knock-on August ninth when the SAT (Securities and Appellate Tribunal) permitted the SEBI administering slowing down the arrangement to stand. <a href="https://capallavik.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-redkite-ssg-tfci-saga.html?m=1/"> Read more.</a>
