Guru- The real motivator behind anyone’s success


"Guru Brahmaa, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheswara, Guru Saakshaat Param Brahma, Tasmai Shri Guru dev Namaha."

A guru in the Indian mythology is considered supreme to god. I have never seen god, but I believe there is a supreme power. But there is one true power, one supreme spirit that I have seen in this odyssey of life ... a supreme power who has given a direction to my life, a guru who has taught me what I am today. Every person who has brought a change in my life through his teachings, I consider him my guru.

For me my first guru, are my parents who taught me to stand and face this world. That’s how my life started. And since then several people came in my life and left an impact on my mind.

After my parents, my grandfather is the second guru to me. I still remember the day when I was in class 1st and he taught me the name of the nine planets. Though it was bit early for me to jot down the nine names, but I still managed to learn it. I did not want to but I had to, as that was his order.

And later that brought me accolades. When my class teacher started teaching that chapter, she was surprised to see that I was the only student who knew the names of nine planets.

My nana taught me how to write letters. He taught me how to see the beauty of this world. It might have been years but since that day there have been several people in my life who came and went away teaching me things that are still imbibed in me.

The reason I am writing about the importance of a guru in my life is.... today I met an old guru of mine. A guru who taught me to put my thoughts into meaningful words.

I still remember the day when I had met a man in his 40's ( guess so) at my third job interview after completing my post graduation diploma in journalism.

After an internship of a month each from DD News and Cnn Ibn .. I went to this place a hindi news channel in film city, Noida. As per I remember this man was the third interviewer of my life till that time.

I am never nervous in any interview, neither was I on that day. I wasn’t much aware of the on goings in and around the world at that time. But still was confident that I will clear the interview. I still don’t know the reason behind such confidence of mine.

There was something that I sensed, that came into my mind when I saw him. They way he judged me, made me realize my worth. My general knowledge was zero.

I came out from the room disappointed and sat at the reception as he asked me to wait for some time.

I knew that I haven’t clear but had no idea as to why he has asked me to wait.

And to my surprise, he offered me an opportunity to work under his guidance. And from there my life started.

He encouraged me to write blogs, to put my thoughts into words. He corrected my mistakes and day kept on going.

And one day I left News24 and joined All India Radio in 2009. I had no one to guide me the way he did. And I lost interest in writing.

But by god’s grace, he once again came in my life by chance and once again encouraged me to write. And here I am writing this blog.

I believe learning is a never ending process. I know, I have a desire in my heart to succeed, to fulfill my dreams, to make everyone proud of me and to make a mark in this world before I die.

There’s a long mile that I have to cross to reach the top ladder, and I know that God definitely has a good plan stored for me. I know I will achieve my dreams soon. Thanks Sir!

This topic is very much inspiring & my most favourite topic . So it cannot be remained unattended or unregareded. You have truely written the impotance of Guru in the success of anyone life as well as in your life. the great admirer of Guru was Saint Kabir Das who has written so many poems in the praise of his Guru "Respected Ramanand " like - Guru Gobond dono khare, kako lago pauo...... Some Example of most successful diciples of Great Guru's are :-
1) Arjun - Dronacharya
2) Plato,Aristotle - Socrates,
3) Alexander, the geat - Plato
(4) Tulasi Das Narhari
(5) Supriya (Bloomy) ---(Your Guru)
I support you in fulfillings of your dreams which will certainly come true . the only thing is regular motivation and encouragement , which you have to be obtained time to time from your Guru, well-wisher,parents, fans,etc. but donot include critics, as they will give you nothing except disheartening & depression.All the best !

Lets fight for the undeclared tomorrow !

Solace is what everyone wants in life. But what happens when people around you say that there is no solace until you die? I believe its all in our mind. There's always a hope of proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. If you are in pain, it doesn’t mean that life has stopped. Tomorrow may spring a pleasant surprise for you. Happiness and sadness are part of life. We should learn to enjoy the moment. Worrying about the known source of terror, or the unknown terror from natural calamities will not help. There are many things in this world that disturb our peace. On one side there are Pak militants entering Jammu, killing innocent people, taking an entire family hostage. There are unknown threats to our life and our peace. We still can’t forget the seven blasts that took place in a Mumbai train, which left a trail of blood and destruction. And now the undeclared terror in Bihar. The Kosi River has destroyed thousand lives, left many people homeless. Bihar remained hostage to a rive...

Is India’s moral compass posing a risk to people’s right to privacy?

Where the entire world is rejoicing the freedom of 21 st century, it’s hard to believe that there are places on this earth where, there still exists an ever-present patriarchy that frowns on women engaging in pre-marital relationships. You are looked down upon if you wear revealing clothes or if you hang out with boys. In most parts of India there’s a big list of other such offenses against decency and good taste. I feel lucky that even being born and brought up in the same society; never had to face all these. I still remember talking about my crushes to my mom and sister, though accept, I never shared these with my dad. However still he always tried his best to be a good friend, a supportive and a caring father and he indeed is. Our dad often chatted with me and my sister about the kind of a guy we would prefer to get married to. We were never imposed anything, whether it’s our marriage, our career or the way we dress up. And both of us are happily married today. Who a...

Hospitality in foreign land!

Image
Foreign land is as beautiful as its people. I always knew that people in outside country are full of good etiquette, but never knew that they are full of generosity and courteousness. After spending my 'Honeymoon in Cornwall'  I realized why India is still on its way to reach heights. I won't deny that nothing can ever take the place of India in my heart. Even after visiting a beautiful place like London, my heart still longs for my birth place 'India'. I have stayed at few places outside my den in India too but I agree have never seen so much generosity in hoteliers ever. One can hardly see people on roads interacting here with strangers or neighbors chit chatting with each other. But once you are their guest, you will feel so glad to see their hospitality. No doubt that India is a land of diversity with so many cultures engraved in its attire, but still when we talk about the good etiquette, its western countries that are running way ahead than us. I...
