To discover the secrets of the universe - Nikola Tesla


 Scientists keep on breaking down matter to the smallest possible discrete level while sages look to keep on unifying and harmonising the whole. It takes a great soul to do both and Nikola Tesla was one such being.


Croatian born Nikola Tesla one of the greatest scientific minds ever. 


Tesla's thinking and capabilities were so far ahead of the times that he was ridiculed by the newspapers and scientists of the day, simply because they were unable to comprehend what Tesla was proposing.


Tesla's achievements and contribution to scientific and technology development is mind boggling, and only now being appreciated. Many technologies and everyday products and services that we currently use are the result of his creative genius.


When he died in 1943 the FBI classified all his papers in 1943 and soon thereafter all notes related to his work disappeared. All attempts to retrieve so much more of his work has revealed little. We can only imagine what other great treasures may have eluded humanity had those papers been made available to the scientific community and to the wider public.


Jan 7th was the death anniversary of  Nikola Tesla, (1846 -1943), those who know of him, remember him for his brilliant mind, insane courage to pursue his ideas, and to overcome adversity. Eventually an unready society and jealous competitors succeeded in destroying him, but failed to destroy his ideas and innovations. His legacy lives on.

Something to ponder over:

Since ancient times, Avatars and Gurus have always taught us, 'The Universe, and its functioning and impact on all beings and things can be understood only in terms of energy. 

Energy as scientists have confirmed what the sages have always said, 'Energy can not be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed', hence all existence is energy. This energy that pervades the entire universe is known as existence, and often called by a million names and usually as God.

The neck of the bottle is always at the top.

        F requently requested to assist organisations large and small, I observe a common and recurring theme.  The issues revolve around the struggle of owners /managers to manage effectively. This is visible predominantly in companies that have started small and are growing, in family run businesses and families themselves. They are invariably puzzled that management approach, style and methods which worked so well in the past, now just don't work anymore. They resort to even more hard work and effort, yet the situation only worsens. Finding themselves in unfamiliar situations they dart here and there implementing fads, half hearted strategies alien to their thinking and character. They do this because they are getting frustrated and doing something is considered better than doing nothing. They change staff and managers. They churn product mix, vendors and even customers and markets. They try so many things but nothing seems to work. They chang...

You have to play the game to win it.

In life its not sufficient to be merely efficient but to also be effective. Someone once asked my father Man Singh ji, 'What is the secret of your success?'  He remarked, "I do not always make right decisions. I make decisions, and then almost always make them right" Read more ..........

The boss is always right

It was in 1502 that the egoistic mayor of Florence (Italy) Piero Soderini was under great pressure. He had appointed a novice to work on a giant piece of beautiful marble to make a sculpture under his guidance. Typical of many bosses Soderini had overestimated his own capabilities and by drilling a big hole in the middle of the block of marble Soderini and the novice had ruined it. Soderini had to find a solution, and  finally commissioned Michelangelo to do a sculpture . Michelangelo agreed and using the available shape decided to sculpt a young David with a sling in his hand. A few weeks later as the statue was finished, Soderini came to see the sculpture for himself. Soderini was pleased with what he saw. However like many patrons and bosses Soderini had to impose his ideas and have the last word. Soderini instructed Michelangelo to change the shape of the nose because it was too big. Michelangelo grasped the situation immediately realising th...
