SIMPLIFIED SURYA NAMASKARA

Dear friends, This is the Japanese method of "Surya namaskara"

The elderly who face physical limitations find it difficult to practice the 12 postures of the traditional Surya Namaskar of Sun Salutation. However, a
simpler technique could be evolved, by adapting a few aspects of the Japanese morning prayer of Satya Reiki while breathing in the Suns energy into the
third eye and other chakras.
The Surya Namaskar is a traditional morning ritual in the nature of paying tribute to the Sun. It is not easy to do the 12 complicated physical movements
in a set pattern while breathing deeply and chanting mantras. The elderly, the infirm and the weak therefore stay content with just sun-gazing .
Among the Japanese traditional Sun mantras in Reiki as part of morning prayers is: A-Ma-Te-Ra-Su Oo Mi-Kami . The mantras are chanted as prayers asking
that all are cleansed, purified, protected and made happy. May the Divine flourish everywhere is the common refrain at the close of prayer.
The simple technique entails Sun-gazing for a few seconds just when the Sun is rising, combined with the Japanese morning prayer and conscious breathing
in of the Suns energy into the chakras or energy centres in a sequence, without much physical movement. The steps involved are:

1.

Posture: Stand facing the Sun in an open space, bare feet placed slightly apart and hands together in the prayer position at the level of the heart.

2.

Thanksgiving: Bow to the Sun two times thanking God and Existence.

3.

Purification: Clap your hands twice to remove negativity from the space around you so that your mind can focus better.

4.

Chanting of prayers.

5.

Positioning: Bend the knees slightly. Open and raise your hands and stretch them towards the Sun so that your palms face it.

6.

Focusing: Maintaining the above posture, look towards the rising Sun for not more than eight seconds. Close your eyes and you will now see a replica of
the Sun in the shape of a small intensely shining ball like a dot constantly flickering on the third eye. Enjoy its splendour for a while.

7.

Draw in deep breath slowly and let the hands bend with palms facing the head but not touching it. Feel and visualise the Suns energy entering your crown
chakra through the palms and your head getting charged with it. Continue to breathe in. Slowly move the hands, palms facing downwards, drawing energy towards
the third eye, throat and heart chakras, and solar plexus respectively. Stop for a while on each point facing each chakra and feel the energy in the area.
One can distinctly notice the colour of the ball changing to rainbow colours before disappearing. If you like, you can make a wish in the form of an affirmation
while chanting the Sun Mantra.
To conclude the Surya Namaskar, repeat the mantra Kamnagara-Tamachi-Haemase praying for the Divine to flourish everywhere. Visualise that all beings are
happy, healthy and well protected. Bow to the Sun one time to offer thanks.
The technique helps in burning calories, reducing weight and charging the body with energy sufficient for the rest of the day. Some of the other benefits
include clearing of the energy meridians, activation of the chakras and general wellness

HAPPY NEWYEAR

2009 in my perspective

Every year starts with some great expectations, but ends with mixed results. Some experience good situation, but some may experience bad. Some other experience both good and bad. I'm sure that I belong to third category. It means that I have experienced both good and bad. It is said As "thoda mita, thoda namak" I'm sure that it is a slogan opted by a biscuit company. I'm sorry that without copyright permition I have used this slogan. No matter hopefully, the company is not going to sue against me.
The good things I have experienced in this year are:In this year I have taken a brake to my regular education. I first time, in my life, have joined to a professional training that is job-giving training.
Bad things:The big miserable experience is losing my grand-mother.
One thing that I should recall about this year is the devastating flood in north Karnataka. This is the big instance for the brutal anger of the nature against the human behaviours. This is very unfortunate that lot of people loos their homes, dear and near ones, friends, family members, etc. Some farmers loos their crops. I'm very sad about it, but what can we do against the nature? I pray that the Lord may give the strength to bear all these disasters.
So many good bad and good events took thisyear let us forget the bads, let us carry the sweet memories of the good things and move on. If we face the catastrophe the God won't allow our lives to take rest so enjoy all the moments of the life, whether it is good or bad.
Dear all, I request all of you that please reduce the pace of your celebration of this newyear because catastrophic memory of the recent floods is still greener.
In politics, Karnataka became the witness for a hectic political drama. Friends, I believe that this happened because of our irresponsibility. The slogan of democracy says, "Government by the people, for the people, of the people" so we've to very very careful in choosing our representatives otherwise, the same thing recurre undoubtedly. For fun I change the slogan of democracy after seeing this political hectic drama, "Government buy the people, far the people, off the people." Dear friend let's not become the victoms of this new democracy; let's not be the commodity of these new-born democracy.
Let's forget all these things. I'm not going to bore all of you by saying all these things. Let's have a happy and prosperous newyear ahead.
Once again I wish you a great happy newyear ahead.
Thank you for reading me.

MY NEW INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENT

Hi everyone,

I'm back. I joined Diploma and completed it. Later, I'll post my diploma experiences in the future posts. After complition of my diploma, because of the curtesy of my Medical transcription teacher, I got an oppertunity to join Software Paradigms Infotech as a trainee in medical transcription. Now I'm going to narrate the experience that which I had.

Being a visually impaired, it is very difficult to get job. In order to get job one must exhibit his/her calibers; for a visually impaired it is very hard to show his/her calibers, though rapid technical growth is taking place it is very difficult show the quality. This is basically because of lack of awareness among the people in industry. Fortunitly, our medical transcription teacher talk to the Vice president of SPI, and he readily agreed. After, my life has changed to some extent.

Below is the brief narration.


What I feel in SPI

After the completion of my 10th class, I joined to diploma in Computer Application for Visually Impaired in JSS Polytechnic for Physically Handicapped at Mysore. There I got the beginning training of Medical Transcription. Then I joined to SPI for further training. Before joining to SPI I was quite anxious how the training would be; how I can adjust myself to a new environment, how the others treat me, how the staffs are cooperative, etc since I did not know anything about the new conditions.

I joined the training along with my batch mates. All of they were anxious with me. The first day of our training was scheduled on 2nd July, 2009. Coincidentally, that day was the birth day of the Chairman of SPI. Small function was arranged, and our parents were also present on that occasion. As the time progressed I found that all the staffs of the SPI are very kind and cooperative.
Later, we were put under 2 best trainers. Then they started step-by-step training. Since I am a visually impaired, I had a fear about the surroundings and environment of an industry, but gradually, I came out of the fear. Thanks to our trainers and all the staffs who treated us equally as others. We were paid much attention because we were visually impaireds. Our trainers come and sit with each and everyone and rectify our mistakes and give hints and tips to improve our transcription quality.

Initially, I thought that the medical transcription is a difficult job, and I can’t do it. But thanks to all the training department staffs and our trainers who helped me to come out of this feeling. Now I am gaining confidence, and I hope that I, along with my batch mates, can do the medical transcription as other sighted people do.

I am very much grateful to all the staffs of SPI for providing this opportunity.
