UPANISHADS: Rudraaksha Jaabaala Upanishad.
------------------------------------------
In this Upanishad, Lord Siva in Kaalaagni rudra form ( the form of kaala / time / age / used as in TIME and space. The story of rudraaksha is explained by Lord Siva himself. The story of killing of Tripura by a raakshasa Nimeelithaaksha and from him created the rudraaksha says the Upanishad. The great benefit of wearing the rudraaksha is also explained. It is said that there are three types of rudraaksha known as sama + snigda (uniform but small) ; drudda+ sthoola (hard but big ); Khanda (broken). The benefits of wearing these three types of rudraaksha in sikha/ hair, or in throat or in a gold/ silver chain are explained.
Many people cry by saying that “ my horoscope is like this. I will not win anything in the life “ Remember there are 9 grahas, 12 bhavas and their combinations through permutation and combination. If anywhere one aspect is not prominent, there will be other aspects which will take you to higher levels. World is like that. None will get everything positive in the same proportion
The Perfect Boss . . .

There were about 70 scientists working on a
very hectic project. All of them were really
frustrated due to the pressure of work and the
demands of their boss but everyone was loyal
to him and did not think of quitting the job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - "Sir, I have promised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm."
His boss replied "OK, You're permitted to leave
the office early today"
The Scientist started working. He continued his
work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 PM.Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children.He looked for his boss, He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having
disappointed his children.
He reached home.Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The situation was explosive, any talk wouldboomerang on him. His wife asked him "Would youlike to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry".
The man replied "If you would like to have coffee,I too will have but what about Children ??"
Wife replied "You don't know ?? Your manager
came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children
to the exhibition "
What had really happened was ...
The boss who granted him permission was
observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM.
He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition.So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition The boss does not have to do it everytime. Butonce it is done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was tremendous.
By the way , any wild guess as to who the boss was..? He was none other than
Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former-President of India . . .
