History of the Baidya Community of Bengal

http://www.indianetzone.com/27/history_baidya_community.htm Legend has it that Dhanvantari was born when the devas and asuras churned the ocean. He is considered to be an incarnation of Lord Vishnu and has four hands - in one he holds medicinal herbs and in one the text of Ayurveda. He was the first Baidya. Another legend about his birth is that when the sage Galava was on a pilgrimage and dying of thirst, he accepted water from a Vaidya girl named Virbhadra. He blessed her and said she would have a son. But as she was unmarried, Galava chanted a Vedic mantra and a boy arose out of a wisp of grass and it was this child who was Dhanvantari. He is also known as Amritacharya or Ambastha. He was a Baidya because he owed his birth to a Vedic hymn and he was an Ambastha because he had no father and was brought up by the mother and her family. So Baidyas are also called Ambasthas.

Attaining Objectives through Effective Time Management

         I would suggest you would need to consider 5 factors to reach an effective way of managing your time : 1.Take control of your mind The mind is fickle , unsteady & restless . It tends to worry about the past and become anxious about the future. The mind needs a powerful intellect to focus its attention on the present occupation. It is thus important to develop and strengthen the intellect to be able to manage the wavering mind. 2.Set up objectives What you are inherently strong at is known as your svadharma while what is alien to you is known as paradharma. You have to decide whether you wish to be an accomplished cricketer , a footballer like Messi, a top oncologist pursuing cancer research or a business development expert using cutting edge technology. You need to figure out what would make you stand out of the crowd and what you enjoy doing .Even a 5% edge would give you a headstart. 3.Identify quality & quantity of resources Once your o

Happy New Year . Some interesting things you can focus on this year .   They come from my friend Donald  http://www.lifeoptimizer.org/2017/01/03/skills-to-learn-this-year/ 1. Writing Like it or not, how people value you depends on how you communicate yourself. You might have the skills, but if you can’t communicate yourself well, people will still doubt your value.

I love to learn from great people and get inspired by their stories. Among them, Theodore Roosevelt (TR) is a favorite of mine. His story never ceases to inspire me. Here I’d like to give you the reasons why I find TR inspiring. After reading them, I think you will agree with me that he is a great model to learn from. Without further ado, here are five reasons why TR is inspiring. 1. His achievements are extraordinary. The list of TR’s achievements is almost unbelievable. He is the youngest ever U.S. president, the winner of Nobel Peace Prize, and a recipient of the Medal of Honor. He also authored more than 30 books despite his busy schedule.

Yet, in a country of 1.25 billion, it is not surprising that change is slow and takes place at a varying pace with metros ‘enveloping’ technology faster. So, what is India watching, reading and listening to?
