Mahindra & Mahindra, India - The un-matched Servant Leaders in turbulent times

2009-12-19T05:12:00.000-08:00

I own their recently launched SUV called “XYLO” after listening to their slogan “Out grow your sedan”. Actually i was suppose to buy some mid-segment Sedan for my newly wedded wife and selected few which came under INR 10 lacs bracket. And suddenly i came to know about the Mahindra’s SUV, which has all the beauty of Sedan and power & size of an SUV. So, i decided t gift my wife a red color XYLO, for which i made my full payment and waited for the car for two months. The dealers at Allahabad United Automobiles were quite helping in arranging for my vehicle before its scheduled delivery.

It was a sheer beauty when i saw the car for the first time. I made the best decision as the value for money i had received.

The car reflected some minor problems after a run of some 1000 Kms. I complained at their local service station, they tried to help me out by replacing some retro-fitment but the problem was quite persistent.

This time i wrote an email to Mr.Anand Mahindra and copied it to Mr.Pawan Goenka the two top brasses of Mahindra & Mahindra. To my extremist surprise, i received a reply of my mail from Mr. Anand Mahindra’s office directly, within half an hour and i was assured that somebody will take care of me soon. And within an hour i received a call from Zonal Sales Office, then from Regional Sales Office, then from Area Sales Office and then from local end. The entire Mahindra Service circuitry was in action only in an hour of writing a mail regarding the current situation of vehicle, in which I explained more about my emotions than to the problems with the vehicle.

Everybody from Top to the Bottom talked to me very humbly and interestingly and assured me that, my vehicle would be taken carefully and all the problems shall be resolved very soon. In two days timing i received a call from Mahindra Service station and was informed that Mr. Sukhwinder Singh Pawla from regional office has personally arrived to take care of my vehicle. I visited there in an hour and found him to be ready to have a test drive of vehicle. He drove it for more than 70 Kms and observed all my complaints very carefully and not only got my problems resolved but had explained me every minute things of the vehicle that include from the design to production.

Now let me tell you the moral of the story – they all contacted me, over the mail and telephone as soon as they receive my mail. And arrive to my place personally to get my vehicle serviced. Actually they not only serviced my vehicle BUT my mind too. Yes! The difference lies here between the professional/commercial business leaders and a Servant Leader. They could have done all the bureaucracy within their internal structure and would have taken the class of local service dealer, but they took the pain personally as i received a direct mail from Mr.Goenka also, where he also assured and shown his full commitment. They are such a huge corporate, why they should listen to a customer personally but they did it. Because they are real people, real economy boom makers. Un-doubted, a company like Mahindra and people like Mr anand Mahindra and Mr. Pawan Goenka shall be responsible for developed India.

We all must salute them for their efforts and commitment to serve us all unanimously and helping India grow.

World’s Diabetic Day: 14th November, 2009

2009-11-14T02:00:00.000-08:00

Wakeup India!

We are living in Diabetic Capital, as we have more than 19% of total diabetic population of the world. WHO reports more than 12.5% of our urban population and more than 4% of our rural population is diabetic. Is Not It alarming condition? And it is expected to rise to 80 million by the year 2030. Believing this report ain’t we going to develop India with full of diabetic people? So, Wakeup guys...

Let me tell you one fact that we Indians are really prone to diabetes and are highly eligible to get it. Why? Cause, in urban India we hardly make a balance between our food and our physical activities. We consume all the unhealthy high carbohydrate food, take lot of work stress and hardly get to do a regular physical exercise, thus, tend to get obese and in rural India, we do adequate amount of physical labour but we don’t eat balanced food. So, in a nut-shell, we Indians do lot of such things is our daily life, which are an open Invitation to Diabetes.

Let us talk about Type 2 Diabetes, which are commonly affecting us:
Our pancreas plays very vital role in digesting the food we consume. They secrete enzymes that brake down protein, starch and fat synthesis in our small intestine. We have two types of essential pancreatic hormones; Alpha cells and Beta Cells. When blood sugar level rises, Beta Cells secrete Insulin which control Glucose and give an Instruction to Liver to deposit Glucose reserve as Glycogen. And whenever Glucose level goes down from an optimal level, the Alpha cells secrete Glucagon that gives an instruction to the Liver to convert Glycogen to Glucose again. Actually when we consume processed Carbohydrates, which are considered as High Glycaemia Index food, our blood glucose level shoots up very fast and also goes down very fast. This activity increases the labour of these to highly responsive hormones. Following the same lifestyle for longer time period these Alpha and Beta cells lose their sensitivity to perform their duties. They no more control the blood glucose level. And this condition is called Type 2 Diabetes.

The Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes: the suffering person feels over thirsty, urinates uncontrollably, looses weight, feels lethargic and becomes prone to attract infections. But one thing to remember, that there are some exceptional individual, who does not experience these symptom at all.

The Dangers of Type 2 Diabetes: very sad to be said, that diabetes is the biggest killer among all other diseases in India. It kills people by gifting other severe diseases to people such as heart attack, strokes, and other severe infections. Apart from heart diseases it affects all renal functions including kidneys, liver functions and prostate activities. Blindness and non-traumatic lower limb amputation is also a major diabetes oriented problem in our Country.

Now the question arises, how to lead a healthy and a graceful life in the presence of this biggest killing disease in our Country?

Since I am an activist to promote Herbal Holistic Health concept that belong to millennia old health keeping and rejuvenating system “Ayurveda”, so I would like to give some of my recommendations, which are derived from Ayurveda only. Ayurveda addresses Diabetes through lifestyle changes, diet and herbs. Please go through following recommendations:

Lifestyle:
• Day sleep should be avoided.
• Yoga and daily exercise must be done like cycling, swimming, jogging etc.
• Injury should be taken care well.
• Adequate eye care should be taken, as the disease in serious condition might affect the eyes.
• Since the diabetic person lack natural resistance so the prompt action is needed in case the diabetic person is afflicted by any other disease.
• Proper foot care is also necessary.

Diet:
• Avoid sugar in any form; rice, potato, banana, cereals and fruits containing high percentage of sugar content.
• Avoid fatty foods.
• A low calorie, low fat, alkaline diet of high quality natural foods is recommended.
• Seeds of bitter gourd & Fenugreek.
• Vegetables: Bitter Gourd, string beans, cucumber, onion, garlic etc.
• Fruits: Indian Gooseberry, Jamun fruit, grapefruit etc.
• Grains: Bengal gram, black gram etc.
• Emphasis should be on raw vegetables & herbs as they play a part in stimulating the pancreas and enhancing insulin production.

Recommended Herbs to address Type 2 Diabetes:
• Methi (Trogonella foenumgraecum)
• Jambu (Eugenia heyneana)
• Gudmar (Gymnema sylvestre)
• Karela (Momordica charantia)
• Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia)
• Khadir (Acacia catechu),
• Haridra (Curcuma longa),
• Amalki (Phyllanthus emblica),
• Vijaysar (Pterocarpus marsupium),
• Udumbar (Ficus glomerata),
• Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa)

How do these herbs work in Diabetes?
The extracts of following herbs are very effective in Type I and Type II Diabetes because of its anti- diabetic properties:
• (Gudmar)Gymnema sylvestre : Is also called as Gurmar or “sugar destroyer” .It helps decrease the craving for sugar, thus reducing sugar intake. Also acts as hypoglycemic agent, diuretic having an oxidase action on glucose solution and slows glycolysis.
• (Jambu)Eugenia heyneana: Diuretic, anti diabetic. It diminishes the quantity of sugar in Urine, allays the unquenchable thirst of urine.
• (Vijaysar)Pterocarpus marsupium: Regulates B cells, mimics insulin and checks blood sugar level.
• (Karela)Momordica charantia: Astringent, controls blood sugar levels.
• (Kutki)Picrorhiza kurroa: Checks basal metabolism, bitter tonic, corrects the function of liver and kidney.
• (Methi)Trigonella foenumgraecum: Diuretic, decreases blood sugar level, stimulates appetite.
• (Guduchi)Tinospora cordifolia: Is an antioxidant and also anti diabetic.

Indications:
• Curative for Diabetes II (NIDDM).
• Good adjuvant for IDDM, in order to reduce the amount of needed Insulin.
• Advised along with existing oral hypoglycemic drugs.
• Is preventive as well as curative for diabetic complications.
• Is advised along with any integrated diabetes control program.

Research:
Patient with a mean blood sugar of 160 mg / dl (Fasting) and 180 mg/ dl (post prandial ) , and was on 6 oral hypoglycemic drugs along with 26 units and 16 units of Mixtard Insulin morning and evening respectively was treated with Diaved for 4 months. By the end of 4 months the mean blood sugar were 112 mg / dl (Fasting) and 101 mg / dl (post prandial) and the patient has stopped using three oral hypoglycemic drugs and the Insulin dosage has been reduced to 20 and 14 units respectively.

Available research work:
• Gudmar – Gupta SS et al, 1961, Indian J Med Sci, 15, 656 – 659; Indian Med Res, 1964, 52, 200-207) – Has hypoglycemic constituents: Gymnemic acids. Reduces glycosuria.
• Karela – Indian J Exp boil, 20, 232 – Was found to be comparable to that of glybenclamide and positively associated with lipogenesis.
• Vijaysar – India J Physiol Pharmacol, 3, 76 – has been claimed to check blood glucose level in rats after a glucose load.

So, go healthy and enjoy your life and give a tough competition to Diabetes by simply changing your dietary habits and by adopting above mentioned life giving herbs in your daily regimen. See you with next health topic under health & wellness tag soon.

P.S.: If you are diabetic and like to have regular tea/coffee or like to eat sweets/pastries/cakes etc., In-spite using Sugar free/Calorie free artificial sweetener, go for holistic & herbal natural calorie free sweetener STEVIA. The Aspartame artificial sweetener is very dangerous for your mental health. I would give a detailed comparative knowledge regarding Stevia and Aspartame in my next post under current tag.

Nagarjuna Award to Badyanath Naini

2009-10-08T04:24:00.000-07:00

I feel very proud to share the recognition provided to the Ayurvedic Icon, the Managing Director of Shree Biadyanth Ayurved, Shri Ram Awtar Sharma by awarding him The “Nagarjuna” award for Quality, by our President Smt Pratibha Patil, in a grand ceremony at New Delhi on 7th of October 2009.

Baidyanath Ayurved established its presence in Eastern U.P. in the year 1963, at Naini Allahabad, by setting up a state of the art manufacturing facility spread over 30 Acres. This unit was the largest manufacturing facility of its kind in the whole world was said by none other than the first Prime Minister of Independent India Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru, on his visit to the unit in 1965. This unit boasts of manufacturing not only over 800 formulations, it also is capable of manufacturing the bulk drugs required for these formulations. Since it was the most modern unit in the Baidyanath Umbrella, it was equipped to manufacture formulations for the export market too.

Baidyanath has played a pioneering role in re-establishing ancient knowledge with modern research and manufacturing techniques and is the acknowledged leader of Ayurvedic know-how.
Led by its president Mr. Dhananjay Sharma, Baidyanath exports has moved forwards in advocating global usefulness of Ayurveda through global net works. As a result many foreign countries have began looking to India for understanding Ayurveda and incorporating it through education, research and practice to meet the overwhelming desire of consumers to access Complementary & Alternative Medicine. Its exports to U.S.A, Europe etc have played an effective role in channelling the information of Ayurveda and opening up new opportunities for the spread of Indian Medicine to foreign institutions.

The company has had a good fortune of having the blessings of many luminaries of India who lauded the efforts of Baidyanath to bring it into a large scale manufacturing for the benefit of the people. Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, Smt Indira Gandhi, specifically recognized the contribution of Baidyanath in providing direct and indirect employment to Millions of people in this region.

Vision Focusing Programme [VFP]

2009-09-01T01:29:00.000-07:00

Lead to Serve

August 29^th 2009 - Vision Focusing Programme (VFP), Hyderabad.

Let me recall my whole visit first, because if you read the entire article carefully, cource of your life is going to be changed to 360 degrees from where it is now at present:

I was at Hyderabad, the city of NIZAMS, to speak to our team of Herbalage Partners at Secunderabad-Hyderabad. The place is symbol of moderation, a fine Mixture of Modernity and Nizami Tehzeeb (Culture). Excellent people. Very Kind and Very Humble.

They received me through Airport to Leave me at the same place the next day on 30^th Sep.,09 to fly Back to National Capital New Delhi. Let me recall the names, Mr. Yamu Gautam one of the enthusiastic leader there and Mr.Manoj Sharma, the leader who came from Rewari (Rajsthan) to listen to me. I am really grateful to both of them for their kindness towards me.

Since it is Holy Ramazan so they altered the schedule of the Programme accordingly. At reception of Hotel Nakshtra it was really a warm welcome, I broke my fast with the fresh fruits they served me especially in my suite.

Since it was Vision Focusing Programme, so i chosen the topic “Why 96% of total money is being earned by 1% of total population?” It became an interesting thing as team of Herbalage Partners there started participating in the event. Yes! it became an interactive event rather as a speech delivery by CEO. I found it very miraculous and one thing I recognised, and that was “the beautiful team management by our partner Ramesh Yadav”, he, I have realised is a man of multi-talent with great Leadership qualities. He supports his team by not only guiding them with his knowledge and wisdom but he gives them his precious time as he is a Defence Service Man, serving Indian Air Force. He is the perfect example of Servant Leadership at that place.

He is able to manage his team with his two strong arms there; Mr. Prashant Sahu, who manages not only his team effectively, but I have heard, he is the person who is managing the LSP at Hyderabad too. Marvellous, i give my sincere recognition to him. And another strong pillar of his team is Mr. Swaroop Singh, who is running his own GYM business but also he is sincerely promoting Herbalage Anti-Aging Business at Hyderabad and spreading the knowledge of Ayurveda directly helping the people lead gracefil life. And I must mention the name of very beautiful gem of Ramesh’s team Mr. Dharambir Yadav, whom i have met personally at TTP organised at H.O., Allahabad. I personally noticed his hard work at Hyderabad. At present he is establishing Herbalage Anti-Aging Business and helping human kind to lead their life gracefully at North-Eastern part of the country under able guidance of his upline.

Let me come back to the topic “Why 96% of......”, Here i go to tell you why?, actually they, the 1%ers have two things in common, (i) They know a magic and (II) they have a tool.

(i) The Magic revealed

Actually the Magic is “The Nature’s Law of Transforming the Thoughts”, we all know our Mind, Body and Soul consist of Five Elements of ‘the Universe’ - “the Panch Mahabhutas” - Earth, Water, Fire Air & Space. So we are one of the most powerful things in the Universe. We contain the Magnetic Power which is most powerful than anything in the world – and that magnetic power is emitted though our thoughts. Means - anything, we think or emit as a thought can attract the real thing.

In the language of Swami Vivekananda:

Whatever you think, that you will be, if you think yourself weak, weak you will be.

If you think yourself strong, Strong you will be.

As per Henry Ford, founder Ford Motors:

If you think you are right, you are right, if you think you are wrong, you are wrong.

In both the cases, you are right, it means whatever you think is right. The command of your life is totally is in your hands. No matter what the real situation of your life is. You really can drive it any way you want, by simply consciously adopting your suitable thoughts. And see your life changing.

Few golden word to inherit;

· The thinker dies - But his thoughts are beyond - The reach of destructions! - An anonymous quote.

· Every thought of yours is a real thing – a force! - Prentice Mulford (1934-1891).

· The predominant thought or the mental attitude is the magnet, and law is that like attracts like, consequently, the mental attitude will invariably attract such conditions as correspond to the nature! - Charles haanel(1886-1949).

· As Actor Shah Rukh Khan in his recent film Om Shanti Om, delivered a dialogue as; Itne shiddat se tujhe pane ki khwahish ki… Ki har zarre ne mujhe tujhse milane ki sazish ki…

· And the renowned author Paulo Coleho in his most acclaimed fiction Alchemist says; when you desire. The Universe conspire it.

· The vibrations of the mental forces are the finest and consequently the most powerful in existence! - Charles haanel(1886-1949).

Actually whatever we think as a thought that goes to the UNIVERSE and comes back to us becoming a thing. Now the point arises that how to perform the MAGIC of transforming the Thoughts?

There are four simple and easy steps. . .

¢ Wish

¢ Faith

¢ Preparation

¢ Accomplish

Wish

Have a clear Wish (es) of what you want or what you dream of, and then put it as a thought before the Mother Nature. The catch: If you are not clear of what you want then the Mother Nature will not be able give you back what you want.

Bob proctor, Co-author of the Secret says: What do you really want? Sit down and write it on a piece of a paper in the present tense and explain how you want your life to be, in every area.

Faith

Have faith in the Lord of the Universe, no matter what caste/ color/ religion you belong to. Just have faith that, the Almighty has listened to you of what you want and your wish is being fulfilled and you are going to accomplish it soon.

Robert Collier (1885-1950), Philosopher, says: See the things that you want as already yours. Know that they will come to you at need. Let them come, don’t fret and worry about them. Think of them as yours, as belonging to you, as already in your possession.

Prepare

Do the corresponding preparation of fulfilling your Wish; Make the long-term plan. Decide your roles & clear your goals. Write your personal mission statement to accomplish it. Treat it as you have already done these exercises, now you move to next step. . .

Accomplish

Just tune your mind to the station of the Mother Nature through which you are going to receive the signal of fulfilling your wishes. The Natural way of getting accomplished fast is to feel it, feel your wishes come true and feel it as you already have got it.

Lord Buddha says: “All that we are is a result of what we have thought”.

Albert Einstein says: “Imagination is everything. It’s preview of life’s coming attractions”.

(ii) The Tools

The Tools of “Effective Time Management Goal Setting”.

Let’s see how do we spend our time and lead our personal and professional life?

People type #1: Spend all their time in managing the entire Urgent and Important things.

Here they spent all their time in solving the urgent problems and deal with significant results that require immediate attention. So, it consumes all their strength.

Outcome: Be persistent amongst People type#1, they make their situation bigger and bigger and finally feel beaten-up and finished and they tend to escape themselves among People type #2.

People type #2: They spend their time in doing Not-Urgent and Not-Important things.

Many times they work like People type #2 and they think like they are People Type#1, they try to solve all the problems but they don’t do important things. They do all the time wasting activities and blame others for the results. And most of the time their urgencies are based upon priorities and expectation of others.

Outcome : Here they see making plans, setting-up goals are worthless. Being People Type #2, they spoil their reputation, feel victimized and even breakup their personal/professional relationships.

People type #3: They spend their time in doing Not Urgent but Important things.

Being among People Type #3 is the main key to climb the ladder of success. Things here are highly important BUT don’t seem to be urgent. But working here they narrow down all the being People type #1 situation in their life. They focus on vision, fix their roles to accomplish their goal, make long term plans and write their personal mission statement. Here they build relationship.

Outcome: They have clear insight to have clearer foresight. Have lesser crisis/current problems to manage as they already have well thought the problems of tomorrow. They have excellent relationship with others and lead balanced, disciplined and controlled life.

So, finally you have the knowledge of being among People type#3 in order to climb the ladder of success and be amongst 1%er. One more thing is needed to organize your family as well as work timing effectively and that is NetworkFirst Weekly Goal Setting Tool.

So dear all With the Magic and the Tool, go get succeeded, serve humanity and lead your life with Health, Wealth and Happiness, Truthfulness, Peace and Generosity as “the Almighty” is already on your side.

God blesses you all!
