Rudraksha : A symbol of spirituality and mystic power

A rare Ekmukhi Rudraksha

Rudraksha is formed by association of two words, 'Rudra'and 'Aksha'. Rudra is the name of Lord Shiva. Aksha means 'tear'. It is said that the plant of Rudraksha is originated from the tear drops of Lord Shiva. As per the vedic scriptures Rudraksha can nullify the effects of malefic planets to a great extent. Shastras say Rudraksha of any mukhis (faces)can never do any harm to the wearer unlike Navratnas, which have to be carefully chosen. No other necklace or bead is so auspicious and powerful as Rudraksha.

Botanically it is known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb. It is nearly spherical in shape. The clefts on the surface of the beads are called faces. Faces vary from 1 to 38. Rudraksha trees are mainly found in South Asian Islands, Nepal, India and Other parts.

Rudraksha come in different mukhis or the clefts or furrows on the surface. Shastras speak of 1 to 38 mukhis but normally 1 to 14 mukhis are used for astrological benefits. Each bead has a different effect on you, depending on the number of mukhis it has. Each Rudraksha is very individualistic and has to be carefully matched with one's horoscope for it to be beneficial.

The very feel of One Mukhi Rudraksha takes one away from worldly affairs towards the God. His mind begins to concentrate on the Supreme Element .

How to make up when you have forgotten your wife’s birthday?

* First, forget about making excuses. You need to agree with her that you screwed up big-time, and you need to admit it. Sincerely, contritely, loudly and often. Sincerely apologise and say sorry.

* Next, get ready to make a gigantic concession of some sort. Maybe, you could consider a vacation with your in laws that you have been avoiding for quite a while or do something that she has been asking you to do.

* Take her out shopping, plan on watching a movie together and finally take her for a nice and cosy dinner. Spring a surprise on her, maybe get her some flowers, buy a perfume or something like that without being asked to.

* Take a good look at her and compliment her on how nice she looks in the lovely dress that she is wearing.

Women are better in concealing illicit relationships

According to a new research, men are better at detecting a cheating partner than females, and they’re more likely to suspect infidelities that don’t exist. Scientists found that men were able to spot a cheating heart in more than nine out of ten cases. They were also more likely to catch their partner’s lies than women do.
Women may be better than men at concealing illicit liaisons. Scientists recently conducted a survey and they gave 203 young meterosexual couples confidential questionnaires asking them whether they have ever strayed, and whether they suspected or knew their partner had strayed. In this, 29 per cent of men said they had cheated, compared with 18.5 per cent of women. The men were better than women at judging fidelity. Eighty per cent of women’s inferences about infidelity were correct, but men were even better, accurate 94 per cent of the time. They were also more likely to catch out a cheating partner, detecting 75 per cent of the reported infidelities compared with 41 per cent discovered by women. However, men were also more likely to suspect infidelity when there was none.

Women have countered this by becoming better at covering up affairs. Complex statistical analysis of the data hinted that a further 10 per cent of the women in the study had cheated on top of the 18.5 per cent who admitted to it in the questionnaires, whereas the men had been honest about their philandering.
