Foreword
We have read many stories of kings and great personalities, who
in their childhood played with snakes, lions, tigers, jumped from
height, killing the Rakshasas (Devils). But what happen to the
same person when grownup. Same event doesnt happen or
dont take risk to do so. Every person is born a Power house, full
of all the five senses and devoid of any fear. But in the due
course of time and experience, he came across sweet and bitter
experiences of life, which motivate or demotivate to take risk in
life. We should always think ourselves as a power house and
blessed person, having the skills and capabilities to do any tasks
with success. The moment we get this feeling, we restore all the
energy and knowledge and willingness to do that task. Our mind
opens up and starts working towards on that task. When we
think ourselves as a power house, we are devoid of fear factor in
us. Therefore be powerful and fearless in life to be successful.

Live Fearlessly
One day, Swami Vivekanad was
returning back from Ma Durga Mandir,
in Sarnath. On the way there was a
pond on one side and on the other
side was a high boundary Wall. On the
bank of pond, lives large sized
monkeys, which didnt spare the
passers-by without harming. When he was passing the point, they howled and
shrieked and clutched at his feet. Swamiji become fearful and to protect himself
from the monkey bit, he start running. More faster he run, more bolder the
monkeys become. From the opposite direction was standing a Sanyasi, shouting at
him Face the Brutes. Swamiji stopped running and turned back and looked at
the monkeys. They also stopped running behind him and fled away in the opposite
direction. Swami vivekanada extended his gratitude towards the Sanysi. From this
incident Swami Vivekanad lived fearless life and spread the same message to all his
followers and the world.
Fear is not an innate quality. It got developed as we grow-up, see and face the
situations, feel them and analysis them. It is an emotional response induced by a
perceived threat, which causes a change in the brain and organ function, as well as
in behavior. In fear, we start hiding our selves, or start running or start crying.
As in the above example, swamiji pre-assumed that monkeys are notorious and can
harm. On one side is the high wall and on the other side is pond. Therefore to
avoid facing them, he started running. The mind guided him to run. That is why he
start running to escape himself. But as soon as the Sanyasi told him to stop and
face them, he stopped and faced the notorious monkeys. They ran away. Similarly,
all of us also have prejudice about the situation, person, equipment or things.
Instead of facing, we choose to flee the situation. Fleeing is not a solution, it only
aggravate the situation and we keep on fleeing due to the prejudice fear.
Similarly, when I was in 10th standard I always run away from solving the
pythagoras theorem, till my math teacher help me learn the theorem. Since then I
taught pythagoras theorem, to many of my colleagues.

Handling Fear
Fears are actually a mental state. Therefore it can be taken care by thinking about
the fears, their cause, effects and solutions.
1)
Think you are the power house Weak and negative thoughts induce fear
in us. Therefore first of all, we should have the confidence in us that we can
face all the problems in the life. No problem exist for ever. Time and
situations changes the gravity of problems which induces fear in us. We
should be prepared mentally first to face and then only physically we can get
rid of the fear.
2)
Face the fear step-wise. We should face the problem otherwise the fear will
make us week and frighten of the problem. We will not learn to get rid of the
problem until and unless we dont face it. First Understand the problem,
then find why it is fear, introspect inside to find the antidote and start feeling
that it is easy to solve. Unless and Until, we dont study the cause of the fear,
we cant be bold to face it. Therefore dont run away from the problems,
face them and get it solved.
3)
Learn to Relax Maximum fears are generated due to our anxiety and over
reaction to a situation. This makes us suffocated and defeated at the first
instance only. Therefore to understand any situation one should maintain
calm of his/her mind. Only calm mind can think positively and take right
decision. There are many relaxation techniques like physical relaxation,
meditation, deep breathing, which can make our mind cool and calm and we
are able to face the fear and get rid of it.
4)
Half Glass Full If you want to get rid of fear cogently, then always be
positive and away from negativity. Avoid surrounded by negative people.
Also always be in touch of positive thought people. They will not effect your
thoughts adversely and will give you strength to face adverse situations of
life and fears. It is very easy to criticize/damage than to praise and rebuild.
5)
Be Brave, powerful, barmy, gregarious. These positive traits will help you to
face any adverse situation with boldness and the situation will never become
a fear.

You are no less than anyone in this world. Be Calm, Close your eyes, take
deep breath and tell yourself that youre the most powerful person in this
world. God has given me all the resources, which a person need to achieve
everything in life.
2)
Never Compare yourself with others. All human beings have different
personality, strengths and weaknesses. Nothing can be compared. Once
weakness may be strength of others and ones strength is weakness of others.
Therefore never compare yourself with others, you are unique and owner of
unique and powerful personality.

Always Compete with yourself and not with others. Every day is a new day. At
the end of the day evaluate what you have achieve/gained and what you
have loose. Write-down on piece of paper and tear it off after reading it
thrice. Every day promise to yourself that today I will perform better than
my yesterday. Compete with yourself, this will stop negative from outside
surrounding in you, when you compare yourself with others and compete
with others.

Dhanurasana
Dhanur Asana gives a full backward bend to
the whole of the spine and all the muscles of
the back from the neck to the lower back or
lumber region. Bhujanga , Locust and Dhanur
forms a series of exercises beneficial to the
body when practiced together. As the forward
bend flexes the spine, the bow extends it.
1.Lie on your stomach with your arms stretched on both sides. Place your right
or left cheek on the floor. Bend the knees, bringing the feet up. Bring the heels
close to the buttock area. Reach back to hold the ankles with your hands. The
knees and the ankles should be closer to one another.
2.Inhale as much air as you can. Straighten up your neck and head. Holding the
breath and keeping the arms straight, arch the entire body upwards. Lift the
head, chest and thighs off the floor. Remain in this position for 5 to 6 seconds.
3.Exhale and return to the floor smoothly. Keep holding the ankles while you
return to the first position. Put the cheek back on the floor and breath
normally.
4.Leave the ankles and let the legs gradually return to the floor. Bring the arms
and hands to the floor on both sides and relax for 6 to 8 seconds. You have
completed one round of bow posture.
Note :
In this asana, all your efforts should be to give a backward pull with the legs
and not a forward pull with the hands. Thus the knees remain on the floor and
the only portion which is lifted and pulled upwards is the area above the
abdomen, i.e. the chest and the head area.
Restrictions :
Start with two rounds on the first day and gradually to a maximum of four
rounds. In the first position in case you find it difficult to hold the ankles then
hold the toes. Do not attempt the bow while pregnant, as these asana
increases the pressure on the abdomen.
