Abdullah Adyar famous Tamil writer who reverted to Islam

Islam is the religion of intelligent and educated people. Prior to British , Muslim India had a 100% literacy rate. therefore highly educated and intelligent people have always been attracted towards Islam. Abdullah Adyar, famous Tamil Writer is one such person.

Journalist,poet,writer and politician Abdullah Adyar belongs to chennai the capital city of Tamilnadu.He served for 17 years in the editorial staff of famous Tamil Daily "Murasoli", where he served as News Edior. The Founder Editor of this Newspaper is Dr.M.Karunadhi who later became Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Mr. Adyar is a fiery speaker and belongs associted with DMK party. He has written many dramas and has also worked in two films. He has been writing short stories and is also editor of "Karudan", a literary magazine. The Tamilnadu government awarded him Literary award of "Kalaimamani" (Diamond of arts).

His efforts as a political worker bore fruit and Congress was defeated and DMK won the polls. But Mrs. Indira Gandhi could not tolerate her defeat and dismissed the provincial government and put its leaders behind bars. Although they were political prisoners but they were beaten like common criminals. Since he was bold and outspoken he got more than equal share of the torture. At one time he was beaten so badly that his belly cut open and intestines became visible.

In this state of fear and terror, his soul needed some consolation, so for the first time he started thinking about religion. Questions about the Universe and its Creator came tohis mind and he asked his Christian wife to bring him some books on Christianity. But he was not satisfied. Then he read books on Buddhism, Jainism and Judaism. But none of the religions was able to answer questions that came to his mind , nor the thirst of his soul could be satiated.

At long last, he started reading about Islam and the English Translation of Holy Quran cleared the dirt from his soul. He got answers to all his questions and the Quranic teaching that one must have only fear of God and one who fears Him is afraid of nobody,gave him immense courage. He was satisfied that Islam is a complete code of life and a natural religion. It can solve the material as well as spiritual problems of humankind.

Therefor after release from Jail, he started reading about Islam in more depth and studied  books of Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadvi and famous Tamilnadu Writer P.S.A.Muhammad (author of about 100 books) When he became completely satisfied about the truthfulness of Islam, he started writing in Tamil daily "Nairotam" about Islam. Later he published collection of his articles by the name " I love Islam". One by one he wrote 13
books on Islam, but he had not embraced Islam .

Shyam Lal, a Hindu from UP who was impressed by his writings, came all the way to see him, but when he found that he had still not embraced Islam, he was greatly disappointed and started crying. Then he remarked : "You are showing light to others but are yourself are wandering in the dark". He was spellbound. Then he accepted Islam in the presence of ulemas and scholars. After the functiom, the people gathered
around him and showed great respect and affection as if they loved him more than his own brother.

Mr. Abdullah Adyar is a great admirer of unparalleled verse of Holy Quran. He says it has
such a beautiful and impressive rhythm that provides ecstasy to the listener and brings tears in his eyes.He says that Holy Quran has given the mankind courage to fight tyranny, unjust laws and oppression. It has enabled them to fight against war,sickness,poverty and even death. Thus Quran makes a Muslim brave and honourable
man of character.He
also speaks very highly of Prophet Muhammad.

किसी पत्रकार और साहित्यकार को विभिन्न धर्मों के बारे में भी जानकारी रखनी पड़ती है। जनाब अब्दुल्लाह अडियार अध्ययन के दौरान इस परिणाम पर पहुंचे कि इस्लाम ही सच्चा धर्म है और मनुष्य के कल्याण की शिक्षा देता है। आखिरकार 6 जून 1987 ई। को वे मद्रास स्थित मामूर मस्जिद गये और इस्लाम कबूल कर लिया। इस्लाम कबूल करने के पहले वे डी।एम।के। के प्रसिद्ध समाचार-पत्र 'मुरासोली के 17 वर्षो तक संपादक रहे। डी।एम.के. नेता सी.एन. अन्नादुराई जो बाद में तमिलनाडु के मुख्यमंत्री भी रहे, ने जनाब अडियार को संपादक पद पर नियुक्त किया था। जनाब अडियार ने 120 उपन्यास, 13 नाटक और इस्लाम पर 12 पुस्तकों की रचनाएं की। इमरजेंसी के दौरान उन्हें गिरफ्तार किया गया और काफी प्रताडि़त किया गया।

WOLVES OF THE FINANCIAL MARKETS PART-I

When someone loses, someone gains from their loss. How the promoters, operators, manipulators, investment bankers, brokers, market makers , media and its connected persons and insiders make trillions of rupees when the stock market decline and stock prices go-down and vice versa. How the stock markets and commodity, currency, bond and option markets are controlled and manipulated by a gang or it won’t be wrong to say wolves of these markets.

Thousands of crore of rupees have been stolen by these wolves through the manipulations of either running or jacking up the prices or of short selling. Masses are always slaughtered like pigs.

The general notion of the investors is that money is made only when markets go up. But these wolves of the markets are making billions and trillions of as the markets go down.. No one seriously analyse the market. Rather everyone is unhappy that the markets are declining and the wolves of the markets are enjoying and celebrating the downfall in the stock & commodity prices. When there is decline, every media channel advocates for its rising. They call the analysts, brokers, corporate big wigs, politicians, bankers on their TV screens with a well written script and try to convince the gullible investors that this is just a temporary phenomenon. Fundamentals are good. It is the best time to buy for long term. Coloured graphs, pie-charts and glossy headlines on Business channels brain wash the minds of investors and traders.

And the innocent investors again believe them and again cheated.

When these wolves wants to have a big sale in any particular stock they have accumulated over a period of time at the lower price, they substantially raises the price of the particular stock .that they makes a market for so they can easily sell their paper stock. In order for him to do them, news stories, analyst recommendations and media publicity may conveniently appear to get people’s attention. The unsuspecting investors may get excited to buy the particular stock as they see the price go up substantially. Then these wolves easily sell their own stock that they have previously accumulated over a period of time at lower prices.

Not many people are aware of short selling or I will say even after knowing about short selling they never think or are scared of selling short. The implications of short selling I will explain later in this piece of article.

Who is going to make the investigation? Nobody will, because everyone from the decision makers to regulators to analysts to media is all a part of this looting process. As the investors has the mindset to just buy or invest for getting a percentage of return, these wolves of Markets steal the people money in all these markets. Business channels invite the so called analysts, sit with them, discuss with them, rather I will say tell them what to speak and what not to speak. Now I will state you an incidence. I was sitting with one of my friend in his office at Connaught place. My friend is a chartered accountant and now diversified into real estate. He made a good amount of money from the share market. He always used his own mind in identifying when, where and how much to invest. When we were having tea, a reporter with a camera man and his assistant came to his cabin to have his view on the market. Last few days market was in a bad shape. Nifty came down from 6350 to 2500. Reporter had given him a set of questions. First he asked “As the market has come down so drastically how much you lost.” My friend replied” “I have not lost. Rather I have made a good amount of money. I sold my whole portfolio when the Nifty was at 6200” Reporter told him “No, no. we don’t want this. You say that you have bought at 6000 and by this time he has lost a big chunk of money” My friend said “Sorry, I don’t lie” Another question asked by reporter “Now what you feel about the market. How much downfall is there more in the coming days” My friend replied “This is the time to buy and I have already started buying it. I expect the market to be at least double from this level in a short span of time.” Again Reporter said “Sir, what are you saying. You please say that from here nifty is going to touch 1800 in a month time.” My friends said “sorry Mr…… (whatever was the name of the reporter) and with folded hand given him a handshake.” When they went off, we both burst with laughter. And from that day onward I advice all my friends to keep the mute button on of their TV set while viewing the rates of shares or commodities on these business channels.

Stock and commodity markets are the biggest regulated, authorised gambling and gambling casinos. Like in the casinos whatever you make in the short run, you are going to lose all whatever you have in the longer prospective. Common Investors and traders trusts the markets and think that stock and commodity markets are legitimate one and is regulated by the Governments. But the true fact is that the Governments are controlled by the wolves of the markets and the markets are licence casinos to loot innocent unaware investors and traders and players of the markets worldwide.

The stock exchanges in the world are set up is set up to steal the investors and traders money. A specific strategy to pocket the money of the investors and traders is made by a cartel of operators and then implemented in a systematic way by all the intermediaries like promoters, institutions, brokers and the corrupt and manipulative media besides the greedy politicians. The investors are misled by the corrupt media channels and already ‘sold analysts’ to trust the stock and commodity market as a legitimate way to make money. In reality it is a different story altogether. Only few people make the money. One can make profits for sometimes but ultimately one is going to not only loose all his money but lands up in debts.

The Stock and commodity markets should be thoroughly investigated by outside uncorrupted members of civil society forum and the masses will come to know the truth that how everybody is being cheated by the set up and the operation of these markets.

A time has come that some new fair investment vehicle be created that people can understand and trust. The new investment vehicle should help in raising capital and at the same time give the innocent investors or traders a fair and real chance to succeed and not loose their money. This new market should be designed in a way where these wolves of the markets should not be able to artificially create ‘boom and bust’ cycles to loot the investors and traders.

The stock and commodity exchanges should have no place in a country likes India .It is not an institution to promote industrialization. In fact, it is more or less a gambling den where the savings of the middle class people are regularly siphoned off into the coffers of these wolves of the markets.

Since the inception of the exchanges, wolves of the markets had induced & made the people buy worthless printed stock certificates on the guise of making them the co-owner of a company and making dividends and growth of the amount invested. Thousands of companies came, raised the money from the investors and vanished. After every four five years a new breed of wolves enters the Financial Markets. Like wolves, the wolves of markets operate in a group, they get very serious when they are on hunting and they love the life and they never remorse after stealing money from the masses. The wolves of the markets has almost the same characteristics as wolves of jungle like they are an effective, widespread, and basic predator and they are not very good adapting to change.

These wolves know if they will push one market up, automatically other markets also run up. And if they want to make market fall, so do basket trading and make one market fall, automatically each and every markets will tumble down.

And if you look at the news, data or information it is a big stupidity. How the data will be reliable when half of the economy is running on black unaccounted money. There news and information are manipulated. And even if it is not manipulated these wolves takes those information and make their strategy to prey on the investors.

It was on January 12, 2011. Negative IP data came in the market. On the face of it the market should have gone down. Moreover all the anchors & the analyst were singing the songs and making tunes of Mandi in their morning sessions of their programmes.

Investors & traders got panicky & the market manipulators got the chance to make loot from poor investors & traders who just listen to these channels & their analysts and the Sensex is up from that point around 500 points.

And again in the closing session every analyst changed their tune and started singing songs of Teji. This is not a story of a day it is of everyday.

This cartel of international players and big brokers know at what time and at which date they are going to make market move in either direction. So, accordingly they take their future positions and attack on all the markets with their pre-planned strategy and in this process the investors lose their money.

Individual stocks are already occupied by operators who accumulate huge numbers of their stocks at lower level and then rig the prices and lure the public and investors to get attracted to the stock. Then they start rigging the price upwards and when the stock has appreciated by 40 to 50 % and in some cases double triple, they start offloading there accumulated stocks. This also creates a new level of prices always on upside.

Some of the stocks are rigged by the operators on behalf of promoters of the company, who give commission to broker to rig the prices, so that company receives F.C.C.B's or QIP's at higher market prices. Lots of companies are doing this as they are a big time need of money through QIP's route to fund their future or ongoing project or may be to fund some of the working capital or to repay their debts. There is always a driver who operates an individual stock. Like any vehicle cannot run without a driver, any stock or commodity also cannot go up and down with a shrewd manipulator or operator. Almost every stock is occupied by these operators except few whose percentage is quite negligible and which are not easy to rig.

As the share prices has already to a peak level and is over-valued, then this technical analyst starts making call for going long on the particular scrip. They also pass the rumours through other sources and give targets which are very high. Even Fundamental reports with business, strategies, future guidance and financials are inflated by the promoters. Then the anchors along with analysts on these business channels come and mislead the masses and they give further targets of particular stock and commodity so that the public should not sell and rather buy and these wolves make a killing in this process.

Why the innocent investors don’t understand that when market was at peak level 21200 in Jan' 08 these analysts talked of Sensex to reach at 30000 and celebrating on their channels after every 1000 point rise and the same set of anchors were seen talking of Sensex to come to 6000 when it slipped below 10000. Moreover again they come in 2011 to tell the gullible investors that by another year time Sensex will breach the previous high.

On the guise of educating & informing the investors, they are misguiding them. Because of no such strict regulation many of the business channels has been fooling the investors. Such corrupt business channels misleading and misinforming millions of investors. Putting a disclaimer clause has given then an escape route. Their flagrant disregard for providing fair-and-balanced reporting demonstrates that they have become a clear and present danger to our financial markets and national economy. In any other industry, such malpractice and deception would not go unpunished.

Ask any person who actively trades on the Indian indexes (BSE or NSE), follow the so called TV experts and you are doomed. Retail investors & the new trading breed are regularly trapped by following news, 'tips or calls' about stocks. These so called expert bozos don’t buy stocks they recommend but sell since there will more buyers than sellers, following their advice, taking the stock price higher. I repeat, any person who follows these business channel jokers will see his capital vanish in no time.

This loot is going on since such a long time & nobody has come forward & raised the voice. Why not the recommendations by analysts should be banned by the authorities? Why the regulatory authorities are keeping their eyes & ears close? How long this loot on investors & traders will go on? Why everybody is keeping their mum? Why not all the analysts who come on the channels & fool the investors be banned?

How do we know that which Scholar is right or which is wrong?




Question: How do we know that which Scholar is right or which is wrong??

Answer: Difference of opinion among the scholars and jurists about religious issues is inevitable. These differences of opinion occur only in the spheres where Allah and the Apostle have not given any specific and have left the issue for decision by the Muslims themselves. There generally does not, and should not, occur any difference in the main contents of the belief.
The reason of this difference is due to the fact that while drawing inferences, the factor of the understanding of the particular scholar making the inference comes into play. No scholar can claim to be absolutely right in a certain issue because every human endeavor is prone to errors. Despite the miraculous clarity of the Qur`anic text, its message can be and has been, misinterpreted by readers on many occasions because of their human limitations. Therefore, difference of opinion among jurists is neither surprising nor regrettable.

All we are required is to use intellect and weigh the reasoning they give in support of their conclusions and follow the ones most sound. The divine law cannot be in contradiction to the human intellect, basic moral values and the human nature. These are the abilities bestowed upon every human being. Therefore we need to consider the opinion held by the scholars and judge them on the above criteria. 
Thus, after having the various views analyzed we could come to a conclusion and follow the one that we consider to be most appropriate and in keeping with the spirit of the teachings and directives of the Shari`ah. Even after due care on our part, if the view we hold is erroneous we will not be held accountable as all we are required to do is to follow what we believe to be right. 

To me there is a sixth sense observation test also, I can judge the scholar just by looking at him. True Scholar is the one who acts upon every sunnah of Prophet PBUH, Act like what he says, and also good in his manners and dealings with people.
Merely Lectures, or writing books, or pretty face in tv shows are not parameters to judge a Scholar weather is he is on the right track or not....

The Only criteria is:: Does he follow EVERY Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad PBHU or not.... 

I know many Scholars of today who are very famous mashallah but when I saw them there acts are contradictory to Sunnah.

You know when we get sick and we have to go to the doctor for treatment, we try to choose most authentic and specialized doctor, we inquire that from which institute he qualified, we inquire from the people what their opinion about this doctor, how they found him, his personal hygine.etc..After our satisfaction we convince ourselves for the treatment.

So has to be the case with our Imaan (infact we should show more concern ).. and in  choosing a spiritual doctor for the treatment of all ailments within us regarding Imaan.

May ALLAH shows us the right way to follow Islam...

اپنی قیمت کبھی کم نا لگائیے



مقرر نے سو ڈالر کا نیا کڑکڑاتا نوٹ جیب سے نکال کر حاضرین کےسامنے لہراتے ہوئے پوچھا، کون ہے جو یہ سو 
ڈالر کا نوٹ لینا چاہے گا؟

حاضرین میں سے لگ بھگ سب ہی لوگوں نے اپنے اپنے ہاتھ کھڑے کرتے ہوئے نوٹ لینے کی خواہش کا اظہار کیا۔
مقرر نے کہا ٹھیک ہےنوٹ تو ایک ہی ہے اور میں صرف ایک ہی شخص کو دونگا مگر اپنی اس حرکت کے بعد۔ اور ساتھ ہی اس نے نوٹ کو مسل کر چر مر کیا، ہتھیلی پر رگڑ کر گولا بنایا اور پھر پوچھا، کون ہے جو نوٹ کو اس حال میں بھی لینا پسند کرے گا؟ لوگوں کی طلب میں کوئی بھی کمی نہیں آئی تھی، سب نے یہی کہا کہ کوئی فرق نہیں پڑتا وہ نوٹ اس حال میں بھی لینا چاہیں گے۔

اس بار مقرر نے نوٹ کو زمین پر پھینک کر اپنے جوتوں سے مسل دیا۔ مٹی سے لتھڑے بے حال نوٹ کو واپس اٹھا کر حاضرین سے پوچھا کیا وہ نوٹ کو اس حال میں بھی لینا چاہیں گے؟ اور اس بار بھی نوٹ لینے والوں میں کوئی کمی نہیں آئی تھی اور لوگوں کے ہاتھ ویسے ہی اٹھے ہوئے تھے۔
مقرر نے نوٹ واپس اپنی جیب میں ڈالتے ہوئے کہا کہ یہ نوٹ تو میں تم لوگوں کو نہیں دیتا مگر ایک سبق ضرور دینا چاہتا ہوں جو ابھی ابھی ہم

نے اخذ کیا ہے اور وہ سبق یہ ہے کہ پیسوں کےساتھ چاہے جو بھی سلوک کر لو اُن کی قدر میں کوئی کمی نہیں آتی۔ اُن پیسوں کے طلبگار اور لینے والے ویسے ہی رہتے ہیں۔ میرا نوٹ نیا نکور اور کڑکڑاتا ہوا سو ڈالر کا تھا تو رگڑا ، جوتوں کے تلوے سے مسلا اور مٹی میں لتھڑا ہوا بھی سو ڈالر کا ہی ہے۔ اس کی قیمت میں کہیں سے کوئی کمی نہیں آئی۔
ہم انسان بھی تو اسی طرح کئی بار حالات کے منجھدار میں پھنس کر اپنا توازن کھوتے اور گر پڑ جاتے ہیں، کئی بار پریشانیوں کے کیچڑ اور غموں کے تعفن میں لتھڑ جاتے ہیں۔ کئی بار اپنے غلط فیصلوں کے ہاتھوں ناکام ہو کر زمین پر جا گرتے ہیں اور اسباب کی کمی کی بنا پر چر مر ہو کر رہ جاتے ہیں۔ ایسا لگتا ہے کہ ہماری کوئی قدر نہیں اور نہ ہی ہماری کوئی قیمت ہے۔ مگر ایسا ہرگز نہیں ہے، یاد رکھئیے کہ حالات جیسے بھی ہو جائیں آپ کی قدر و قیمت میں کہیں سے بھی کوئی کمی نہیں آئی۔ آپ اپنے آپ میں یکتا اور انوکھے ہیں۔ مت سوار ہونے دیجیئے اپنی لغزشوں کو اپنے حواس پر، مت دھندلانے دیجیئے اپنے خوابوں کو اپنی ناکامیوں کی پرچھائیوں کے نیچے دب کر، بھول جائیے اپنی نا مرادیوں کو۔ آپ کی اصل قیمت وہی ہے جو آپ نے خود مقرر کرنی ہے اور یاد رکھیئے اپنی قدر کو کبھی کم مت کیجیئے اور نا ہی اپنی قیمت کبھی کم لگائیے۔

Settle with what you have

There was a married couple, the husband loved his wife deeply.. The wife always had a wish of getting a ring she saw at a store.. 

As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband had purchased the diamond ring.

Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her. He handed her a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Quran Shareef with the wife's name embossed in gold.


Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, "With all your money,you give me a Quran"? And stormed out of the house, leaving her husband.

Many years passed and the lady was very successful in business. She managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family, but realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go to visit him. She had not seen him for many years.

But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately and take care of things.

When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's important papers and saw the still new Quran just as she had left it years before.

With tears, she opened the Quran Shareef and began to turn the pages. A tiny package dropped from the back of the Quran. It had a diamond ring, with her name engraved on it -- the same diamond ring which she saw at the showroom. On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words...'LUV U ALWAYS'.

How many times do we miss Allah's blessings, because they are not packaged as we expected? Trust HIM always. HE knows what is good for you and may even ignore what you thought was good for you.

Do not spoil what you have, by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

A Short take on IRCTC


Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation which is a subsidiary of the Indian Railways that handles the catering, tourism and online ticketing operations of the railways.
IRCTC Logo.svg


First thing First keeping it real IRCTC should redirect to the flight booking page when someone clicks the tatkal option,coz the most valid excuse for coming late to office. A team mate emailed - "Booking ticket on IRCTC. Will be a bit late." to say it promptly I once Dozed off while booking a ticket on IRCTC. Woke up and found that one gif image had been downloaded on the page, as was writing this blog I'was trying to crack a joke on IRCTC but mymind says "Can't login, try again later"IRCTC is the only website which takes the same time to load irrespective of the speed of your Internet connection.The time it takes to load, it's high time IRCTC is renamed as Rajiv Gandhi Panch Varshiye Tourism Yojna.
A lot of people think IRCTC's tagline is 'This webpage is not available'.

There should be prequel of Chennai Express - about how SRK managed to book his ticket on IRCTC site,It shall be a great drama and tragedy, Its so awful task that you can add "Booked a ticket in tatkal" in your resume as one of the achievements! People who can book a tatkal ticket from IRCTC website should be awarded . I insist. it seems IRCTC represents the modern India. It is strongly against reservation.
While booking a ticket on IRCTC , I feel like a revolutionary


But what's the alternative of IRCTC that's the important question? We badly need someone who can talk real tough with the IRCTC bosses about improving things urgently. Someone like, say, Narain Karthikeyan.

Meanwhile :

A Grim Reminder

Superstorm Sandy is a reminder for the United States to join the rest of the world’s efforts to slow down climate change, writes Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam.


For years America has been in denial on global warming. Earlier this month, a Republican luminary said something to the effect that global warming was some kind of a delusion, without any basis in reality. He was only one of several leaders to make such outlandish statements. The fact is that the whole American establishment has chosen to ignore it.

Now that superstorm Sandy, the most powerful on record, has wreaked great devastation on the eastern coast, it is time for America to wake up from its self-induced hypnosis. This storm, a combination of unusual undulation in the Arctic jet stream and a tropical storm, has a clear connection to global warming. It is basic physics that heat is energy. More heat available to storm systems means there is more energy to drive the winds at a greater speed. It is as simple as that. Naturally, the scientific community expects more fierce storms in times ahead.

As the Arctic ice cap has been melting and flowing away there is less ice around to reflect away the sun’s rays back. The resultant murky waters trap more heat (as we know from experience that white clothes absorb less heat from the sun than coloured clothes), the earth’s surface grows warmer.

Sandy, with a size of 1400 km, at the top speed of 225 km at Mount Washington, has inflicted extraordinary damage to life and property and stalled electioneering. Less than a week before presidential elections, President Obama has said that “the election would take care of itself” and saving lives would have to be the priority.

With property damage estimated at $20 billion and latest death count at 90, it should be a reminder for the United States to stop trifling with climate change statistics and making fun of them.

In the first presidential term of George W. Bush America dissociated itself from the struggle against global warming and refused to sign the Kyoto Protocol. Since then America has remained aloof from the world on this issue. It is time for it to step back into line with all of us and join the movement. That is the only sensible course to adopt.

Our sympathies go to the victims and their next of the kin of this tragedy and we hope and pray that it will not be repeated

The first tier of the mind is the one you are most familiar with and have the easiest access to: the conscious mind. It consists of your everyday thoughts, feelings, beliefs, perceptions, attitudes and expectations — the facets of your mind, you are aware of. It is however the weakest, smallest part of the mind…. Even though the conscious mind is the weakest, smallest part of the mind, it packs a lot of power.


Until now in the history of humankind, it’s the part of the mind that has principally been responsible for getting us where we are today. Just think of what we have accomplished by relying on it: the Internet, the space travel, the United Nations, satellite communication, laser surgery, cell phones…. However, all that we have accomplished using the conscious mind, has its limitations and it’s important to understand what they are. For one, the conscious mind is not as reliable or objective for what you may think it is. What you think at the conscious level is the product of your conditioned habits and the workings of your brain, all of which are highly subjective.


Hidden behind the conscious mind is the subconscious mind — a storehouse of memories, deep feelings, desires, motives and knowledge of which you are not usually aware. It is gigantic in size and power compared to the conscious mind. Sigmund Freud provided a simple but accurate model for understanding the size-power relationship between the two levels of mind: the iceberg model. The conscious part is the tip of the iceberg, the part that you see above the water line, which is always many times larger than the ‘tip’ floating above the waterline....     


Super Conscious Mind      
Hidden behind the subconscious mind is a third level of mind called the individual super conscious mind. Most people know it by its popular name: the soul. It is here that we are most directly aware of the Story Behind The Story. This level of mind is exponentially more powerful than the subconscious, and possessed of abilities that defy most people’s imagination. It is for this reason that the nature of the soul is usually relegated to the realm of scripture and poetry. To understand the power you possess at this level of your mind, you have to have a basic understanding of how the universe is structured and how it works….


The individual super conscious mind is a gateway to the universal super-conscious mind, which is infinite in power. It is virtually impossible to describe the infinite mind to someone who has not experienced it. There are no words, no poetry that do it justice. Lao Tzu, the fully enlightened master, once said, “He who speaks does not know, and he who knows does not speak.”

Mother of all bull markets

Mother of all bull markets is still to come says RAKESH JHUNJHUNWALA 
In a weekend televised interview Investment Guru Rakesh Jhunjhunwala said the mother of all bull markets is still to come. He strongly believes that the Indian markets will give 17 -24% % returns in the next few years. He says Indian markets are trading at a PE of 14, which could go up to 25 before topping out. With US and European economy is slowing down and easy money available along with low interest rate regime FII flow will continue. With a 2 trillion dollar economy Investment opportunity will be immense going forward in Indian equities. He specially mentioned value investing which is our Investment mantra for last 26 years. So tighten your seat belt for a profitable trading journey ahead. 

There is an old Indian proverb  : 
Most beautiful lotus flower always grows in dirtiest part of the pond
Today world financial market is the dirtiest pond with unmanageable finances accumulated over the years of mismanagement and following obsolete policies. Now take the best among beautiful flower INDIA. 

While the world is coping with worst crises of century, Indian GDP overshoot and will  grow at the rate of 6% in the next few years. While countries like Spain, Greece or Portugal are making beeline for going bankrupt, India managed its’ fiscal gap within the manageable figure, this is the single most important factor which will prove to be a game changer and attract huge foreign capital looking for safe, secure and stable growth. India is also blessed with a relative reform oriented government which is all out to implement Kiran Parekh committee report, GST, FDI in many sectors. 

For those following technical charts Sensex has given 19% compounded annual return for last 20 years. Just calculate the same rate where the Sensex will land in next 5, 10 or 20 years. FII money or Hedge fund manager will become mad on this study, thrown out by our research team after burning midnight oil over tons and tons of data loaded on our computers over this weekend. 

And the most important thing US, Europe and China has lost credibility among investing community who have billions and billions of money but lack of investing opportunity around the world. India will be a perfect destination for them. You must have witnessed the fact that FII are pouring tons of money in INDIA. 

ENJOY TRADING.
