Grand Master Choa Kok Sui
Grand Master Choa Kok Sui is the internationally acclaimed author of the book, Miracles Through Pranic Healing (3rd Edition). Originally published in 1987 as The Ancient Science and Art of Pranic Healing, Master Choa conceptualized a fresh and far deeper understanding of energy healing, using the readily available source of all life - Prana, called Pranic Energy or Vital Life Force.This book has been translated into over 27 languages, and is distributed in more than 40 countries, including many locations in Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Europe, Canada and the USA.
A prolific author, other books written by Master Choa Kok Sui include: Pranic Psychotherapy (1990), Advanced Pranic Healing (1992), Pranic Crystal Healing (1996), Psychic Self Defense for Home and Office (1999), and Meditations for Soul Realization (2000).Master Choa's style in presenting paranormal concepts and in unveiling inner (normally hidden) spiritual teachings, is simple, straightforward, and practical. His latest work, the Universal and Kabbalistic Meditation on the Lord's Prayer (2001), is a clear example of his brilliant ability to synthesize and connect major spiritual concepts that have generally remained separated by tradition and practice.In this work, he combines the spiritual concepts of the Biblical Lord's Prayer, with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, relating these two seemingly unrelated doctrines, with the ancient Indian tradition of the Chakras and Prana or Energy.
MODERN FOUNDER OF THE ANCIENT ART AND SCIENCE OF PRANIC HEALING
Recognizing multiple applications for the use Prana or Pranic Energy, Grand Master Choa Kok Sui is one of the greatest Master's of Energy of our generation.In developing the modern Pranic Healing techniques used today and known as 'MCKS Pranic Healing,' Master Choa created a new standard of perception regarding healing itself.Master Choa not only conceived the comprehensive techniques designed to cleanse and energize the physical body, thereby accelerating the rate at which the body can heal itself, he even originated new, never before used terms, to thoroughly clarify the concepts he devised. Master Choa successfully has demonstrated that energy is an important factor in healing the physical body, and through employing Pranic Psychotherapy, also in healing the psyche.Master Choa formulated an easy to learn, user friendly system, so brilliantly simple that even new students can rapidly learn to heal simple ailments, enabling them to produce immediate positive results that contribute to good health and well being.Master Choa's students are blessed to learn numerous methods for achieving success in life, by employing his remarkably effective techniques. These powerful tools clearly reflect his extensive grasp of the numerous applications of energy and of his deep comprehension of life itself.Through Master Choa's teachings, his students are able to create more balance and to maintain greater success and harmony, as he guides them through the enormous range of possibilities regarding the application of Prana, or Vital Life Force to nearly every aspect of life.
FOUNDER OF ARHATIC YOGA
For those seekers on the spiritual path, Master Choa has developed a system of practices that leads to greater soul (or self) realization. Arhatic Yoga is nonsectarian, and can become an enhancement to the understanding of any individual willing to accept the existence of a Higher Being or a God. This fantastic synthesis of various yogic practices (from many traditions), introduces the spiritual disciple to a banquet of methods devised to safely accelerate spiritual growth. These powerful techniques use ancient technology in original and creative combinations in order to activate and align the chakras and to awaken the kundalini energy or the "sacred fire."Arhatic Yoga is an advanced meditational technique, that proportionally balances aspects of Universal Love, Intelligence and the Will. Practitioners are thereby able to develop higher intuition, advanced mental powers, stable emotions, clearer qualities of good character and are able to move more rapidly toward becoming totally integrated beings of Divine Light.
THE SCIENTIST
Initially trained as a chemical engineer, now students often refer Master Choa as a "scientist of the soul." This scientific orientation enabled him to carefully systematize the techniques of pranic healing and arhatic yoga.Through extensive research, Master Choa developed a discipline called "technology of the Soul." The implications of this are profound, powerful, far-reaching and exciting for mankind. A portion of this material, was originally presented in Meditations for Soul Realization, and more is given in this book, Universal and Kabbalistic Meditation on the Lord's Prayer. Even more advanced teachings are transmitted to senior disciples and advanced students during special intensive workshops.
THE TEACHER
People often wonder how an astute, self-made businessman and adept scientist can be an enlightened guru. These are the qualities that make Master Choa a unique spiritual teacher for this modern time. Ceaselessly, he travels across around the globe, teaching people in all walks of life.One of his distinctive qualities as a teacher is his ability to cause significant shifts of consciousness in his students. By the end of a two day workshop, his students can experience spiritual elevation, mental alertness, emotional balance and a higher level of energy. His pragmatic teaching methodology, enables his students to obtain volumes of lessons that will be relevant for an entire lifetime. Not only can these individuals experience significant improvement in themselves, but upon becoming teachers, they can also transfer this advanced technology for change to others.
THE AUTHOR
The dynamic style of Master Choa Kok Sui's teaching is equally reflected in the direct, uncluttered style of his writing. While it may not be possible for everyone to experience Master Choa's wisdom and energy by personally attending his workshops, by reading his books, a reader may have greater understanding of the Master's unique technology for rapidly achieving a higher degree of Oneness with their Soul, may discover many esoteric "secrets," and learn practical techniques for living life more fully with less stress and with greater productivity. Master Choa Kok Sui believes that we inhabitants of Planet Earth are ready for a major shift in consciousness. We are fortunate to anticipate through Master's incredible generosity of spirit, he will share with us more of his amazing knowledge and his boundless understanding of an immense variety of new subjects.
Discernment or Discrimination and Non-Superstitiousness
The Lord Buddha has said, "We must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor in
traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity; nor in rumors, as such; nor
written by sages, because sages wrote them; nor in fancies that we may suspect to have been
inspired in us by a Deva (as in a presumed spiritual inspiration); nor from inferences drawn from
some haphazard assumption we may have made; nor on the mere authority of our teachers and
masters. But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own
reason and consciousness. For this... I have taught you not to believe merely because you have
heard, but when you believe of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly."

Why is Time Management Important?
By Stephanie Marston
The purpose of time management is to get more done well in less time. This will enable you to spend more face time with the people you care about, doing things that give you the greatest amount of joy and satisfaction in life.
The majority of your happiness comes from satisfying relationships, especially with the people closest to you. The essential determinant of the quality of your relationships is the amount of time that you spend face to face with people you love and who love you.
You can get control of your time by stop doing the low value things and spending more time on the few activities that can genuinely make a difference in your life.
If you're like most people, you are overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time. As you struggle to stay current, new tasks and responsibilities keep pouring in. The reality is that you will never be able to do everything you have to do. There will never be a time when you are completely caught up. There will always be more to do than you can do in the course of a day.
Be Selective
It is essential that you are able to select your most important task at each moment, get it done efficiently and well. Being selective will have more impact on your success than any other skill or quality you can develop.
People who develop this skill of setting clear priorities and getting important tasks completed excel beyond those people who talk a lot, make great plans, but who get little done.
The rule of thumb is that if you have two important tasks in front of you start with the one that is most challenging first. Discipline yourself to focus until you complete this task before you go onto something else.
Consider this a challenge. Resist the temptation to start with the easier task. Regularly remind yourself that one of the most important decisions you make each day is what you will do immediately and what you will do later, if at all.
The key to reaching a high level of performance and productivity is to develop the habit of tackling your major task first thing in the day.
Act Immediately
Successful people are those who focus directly on their major tasks and then discipline themselves to work steadily and single-mindedly until those tasks are complete.
In the business world, you are paid and promoted for getting specific, measurable results. You are paid for making a valuable contribution and especially for making the most important contribution that is expected of you.
Failure to take effective action is one of the biggest problems in organizations. Many employees confuse activity with achievement. They continually talk, hold endless meetings, and make fantastic plans, but in the final analysis, no one does the job and gets the required outcomes.
Do It Now!
One of the simplest and most effective ways to be more productive is to repeat, "Do it now! Do it now! Do it now!" over and over to yourself.
If you find yourself becoming distracted by socializing or low value activities say to yourself, "Get back to work!" In other words, work when you work. Don't waste time. Every minute you spend surfing the web or in idle talk with a coworker is time taken away from the work you have to accomplish and consequently, time away from your family and important relationships.
Nothing will help you more in your career than for you to get a reputation for being the kind of person who gets important work done quickly and effectively. This reputation will make you one of the most valuable and respected people in your field.

Gayathri Mantra Chanting!
ॐ भूर्भुव स्वः
तत्सवितुर्वरेण्यमर्वरेंयम
भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि
धियो यो न: प्रचोदयात
Om Bhurbhuva swaha:
Thathsavithurvarenyam
Bhargo dhevasya dheemahi
Dhiyo yo na: prachodhayath
Gayatri Mantra (the mother of the vedas), the foremost mantra in hinduism and hindu beliefs, inspires wisdom. Gayatri, the five-faced Goddess, is said to have domain over the five senses or pranas, and protects these five life-forces of those who chant the Gayatri Mantra. The Gayatri Mantra is attributed to the Brahmarishi "Vishwamithra". This is found in the Rig Veda verse 3.62.10. It is of 24 syllables.
Meaning of the Mantra.
Mantra is of four parts.
1. Om Bhurbhuva Swah
In this "Om", the name of Supreme God. "Bhur" implies the existence, which actually means the self-existence of God. It symbolises the "SAT" or "the Earth" form. "Bhuva" means the Absolute Consciousness of God, which means he is self-conscious as well as conscious of all, so he controls and governs the Universe. It symbolises "CHITH" or "the Sky " form. "Swah" indicates the all pervading nature of God. He is omnipresent and pervades the entire universe. It also symbolises "ANANDA" or the God's bliss.
2. Thath Savithur VareNyam
It means "That God is the one who is worthy". In this "Thath" is the word in Sanskrit denote the third person "that". "Savithur", denotes the God and "Varenyam", signifies our acceptance of God and has the meaning of "who is worthy". With this, we accept him as our leader and guide. This is the implication of extreme devotion towards God.
3. "Bhargo Dhevasya Dheemahi"
It means the attributes and qualities of God and the reason for us to meditate on him.
"Bhargo" signifies the Glorious light which is the love and power of God. It can also be interpreted as "God complete purity and the ability to purify those who comes into his contact. "Dhevasya" - "Dheva" is symbolic of the individual qualities of God and the multifacted entity personality of God. "Dheemahi" means the to meditate and focus our mind in God.
4. "Dhiyo Yo Na: Prachodhayath"
In this we ask the God to improve our intellect, and guide it towards what is right.v"Dhiyo" means "Intellect" in Sanskrit. "Yo" means "Who" or "that" . "Na:" means "ours" and "Prachodhayath" means "Lead us in the right path".
It embodies the three concepts - Sthothra (Singing or Chanting of the Name of God), Dhyana (Meditation) and Prarthana (the prayer to God).
Chanting
The time for chanting the mantra are dawn, mid-day and dusk. The maximum benefit can be obtained by chanting it for 108 times. When there is shortage of time, one can chant this or 3, 9 and 18 times also. Chanting of this Mantra removes all obstacles in our path to wisdom, spirituality and development.
References in Scriptures
Chandyoga Upanishad describes the quality of Gayatri Mantra. Brahadaranyaka Upanishad mentions "Gayatri" as the protector. All four vedas talk about Gayatri Mantra. The references are available in several Hindu scriptures such as Manusmriti, Harivamsa and Bhavad Gita.
