One day, King Solomon decided to humble Benaiah, his most trusted minister. He told the minister, “Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring me. I give you six months to find it. It has magic powers. If a happy man looks at it, he would become sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he would become happy.” Solomon knew that no such ring existed in world but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility. Benaiah had no idea where he could find the ring. One night he took a walk in one of the poorest quarters of Jerusalem. He passed by a merchant. “Have you, by any chance, heard of a magic ring that makes the happy wearer forget his joy and the broken-hearted wearer forget his sorrows?” asked Benaiah. The merchant took a plain gold ring and engraved something on it. When Benaiah read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile. To everyone’s surprise, including the King, Benaiah held up a small gold ring and declared, ‘Here it is, your majesty!” As soon as Solomon read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. The jeweler had written in Hebrew, GAM ZEH YA’AVOR, which means, “This too shall pass.”
There are many variations to this original story, but all of them communicate the same essence, “This too shall pass.” Everything good or bad, success or failure, boom or doom, best of times or worst of times- everything shall pass.
Days have to sleep into nights and nights have to wake up to the days. Without the high and the low notations it won’t be music but just a mere monotone. Without the rise and fall there will be no dancing waves and without the waves there is no dynamism to the sea. How can you define a peak without a valley? The foreground is meaningful only in the context of a background. Without death there will be no value of life.
It is the eternal law of life – the law of impermanence – anything that begins will end. If it had a beginning, then it will have an end.
Did the day begin? Yes! Then the day will end.
Did the year begin? Yes! Then the year will end.
Did your relationship with him begin? Yes! Then it will end – either by parting with each other when life is still on, or through the death of one- either way it will end. Sooner or later is the only question. It will end is certain. We all have come into this planet with confirmed return tickets. The date is the only unknown factor to us.
Success is failure delayed. Failures are success delayed. Good times will be followed by recession and recession will be followed by great times. Every beginning will end and every end will result in a new beginning.
This isn’t a pessimistic view of life. In fact, it is the other way around. Because we know there is death, let us make the most of life, because we know the day will end, let us make the day count. Because we know the year will end, even before the New Year arrives let us do something significant to make the present year memorable. Because we know our tough times too will end, let us endure it with strength and courage. Because we know our best times too will end, let us be humble even in our success. Because we know every relationship will end, let us give ourselves completely and unconditionally to our loved ones.
Above all, because we know even we will end, let us live such a life that we leave a legacy. Our contributors and our creations should continue to live in this world and the world should continue to benefit from the life we lived, even much after we are physically gone!!
May all of you enjoy and achieve great heights in life

Chair
Today I am writing this article in order to make you think about the ‘CHAIR’. Do you know how important a chair is to you in life? What has chair in it that makes it important, let’s see…..
Certain chairs are powerful. And because of the chair, the person sitting in the chair is now powerful. Off the chair, he may be just a common man, and yet, from the chair he is very powerful. It is not about the man, but it is about the chair he occupies. Irrespective of whether you personally like the man or not, he is the judge in your case, for he holds the chair. And, his verdict will make all the difference. For those who voted for him and for those who didn’t vote for him, now that he occupies the Prime Minister’s chair, he is the prime minister. It is not the man, but the chair that he represents. Whether she has passed your judgement or not, you have to pass her judgement to get promoted to the next class. This year she is your English teacher. Her name and form are incidental, but the chair cannot be ignored. Chairman of the group is basically a chair – in it, now he sits, earlier it was his father, and later it will be someone else. No matter who, the one who sits in that chair will sign as the chairman of the group. Whether it is man-made systems or the nature’s law, you have to give certain chairs their prescribed status. That’s the rule. That’s the law. You ignore these chairs (Positions) at your own peril. You respect these chairs (Positions) for your own benefit.
Hope you have a bright future ahead and occupy one of the good chair.

December 21, 2012
Wherever you see, wherever you hear, all T.V. Channels are broadcasting the same news i.e. 2012 marks the end of this era of human life. Let’s reach to the depth of this story and see how much truth is there in this.
B.C.14, 15, between these years in the region of America around L-Salvador and Mexico originated the civilization named the ‘MAYA’. The civilization was recognized as a good civilization for 700 years thereafter. The scientists, scholars and astrologists at that time wrote the Mayan calendar. Their calendar ends on December 21, 2012. They mark this day as the disastrous day and predict many volcanoes and earthquakes devastating the earth and thus marking the end of human life. How much truth is there in this saying?? Let’s see…
The astrologists during that time used to use 2 calendars. These calendars not only predict days but predict the various changes that may occur. In this the main calendar is ‘TZOLKIN’. In this, when the festivals will occur? How to celebrate them? … Etc… all things were specified. Based on this calendar, new born child's future was predicted. This calendar has 260 days or 13 months a year.
Another calendar was named the ‘HAAB’ also known as solar calendar. This calendar had 20 days a month and 18 months making it 360 days a year. This calendar was used by farmer during 550 B.C. A year has 365 days, so rest 5 days were termed as ‘WAYEB’. These 5 days were considered the most unlucky days. In these 5 days, vampires and slayers were believed to dance on earth by the Mayans. Other than these 2 calendars, one more calendar was also there “LONG COUNT CALENDAR”. According to this long count calendar, they believe world ends in 2012. This calendar started in BC.3114. December 212012 marks the end of this Calendar. During the origin of this calendar, many volcanoes and earthquake occurred on the earth, so they believe it will occur again at the end of it. That is the sole reason; they believe it is the end of the era of human life.
According to Mayans, on December 21, 2012 this era will end and a new era will start. They don’t mean the end of the world here. Not only the Mayans, but none have predicted when the world will end. Many scholars like Nostradamus, Sri Veera brahmendra swami etc… predicted the various events that may occur but never meant the world will stop or come to an end.
According to the NASA astrologists, this universe has more than 400 crores of years left.
The oldest book “SURYA SINDHANTA GRANDH” was preached 21, 66,311 years ago by God Surya to Lord Maayasur of the Lanka. All the Indian horoscopes and calendars are based on it. Indians believe this world was created by Lord Brahma. According to it
KRUTHA YUGAM – 17, 28,000yrs
TWETHA YUGAM --- 12, 96,000yrs
DWAPARA YUGAM--- 8, 64,000yrs
KALI YUGAM --- 4, 32,000 yrs
MAHA YUGAM--- 43, 20,000 yrs
According to the Lord Brahma, One half day from morning to evening is
1kalpam = 1000 mahayug
= 432 cores years.
This is our world, so we call it “UDAYAKALPAM” (inspired by the word morning sage given to Brahma)
Another night for Brahma means another 432 crore years.
So 1 day for Brahma = 864 crore years
So 30 days for Brahma= 25920 crore years
So 1 year for Brahma = 311040 crore years
Brahma lives for 100 years (believed)
So, total years for Brahma= 31104000 crore years
The lifetime of earth is believed to be the age of Brahma.
So, total life of the world = 31104000 crore years
According to the various calculations done by the astrologists more 155518027050889 years are left for the world to end.
Also seeing the astrological signs on that day, No volcano, earthquake, tsunami or disaster of any type is reported or predicted to occur in India on that day. Even if disaster occurs, it will occur only in North America and not in any other parts of the world predicted a well known astrologer.
Finally what I want to say is that world will not end here at December 21, 2012. Don’t fear of what will happen on that day but fear of the tasks you have to perform the coming days. Plan your future well and wishing you all a happy life ahead – JIGDRA.
