What is going on with smart women out there lately? I routinely answer blogs, questions, and see clients on many topics relating to low self esteem, and negative self images. Since my book; "Through the Door!": A Journey to the Self, came out, there has been quite an increase in this line of questioning. Lately, however, a pattern is emerging that I cannot ignore. I am receiving higher than average pleas for help from women who are on their way to getting their master's degree, or have completed it,and yet they are telling me that they feel Stupid,worthless,afraid to speak their truth, unlovable, and so on and so on! Now I know, and I write about how self images work on you to make you feel less of yourself, in spite of the evidence to the contrary, however, these wonderful women, whose intelligence is above question, are not able to access their faculty of reason which would refute the absurd claims of self images that whisper disparaging mantras that in the end tear the women apart. I refuse to let stand by without doing something about it. A CALL TO WOMEN WITH ESTEEM/ NEGATIVE SELF IMAGE PROBLEMS I am starting another book for you women who, in spite of your obvious intelligence, feel stupid, unworthy,...you get the picture. I am asking you women to send me your 'story'. Let me know how you feel, and tell me a little bit about your upbringing. Let me tell the story (abridged of course)and offer some insights into what it means, and what can be done to take these low self esteem and negative self images and put them aside so that you can enjoy your accomplishments, and take them to new and greater heights. Let's get you to fall in love with who you really are, and not who you think you are. To send in your story, go to My Self Esteem Story Of course not all stories will get in, but your truths will help shape a book for all women.

Self-love is very essential in boosting our self-esteem. A person having self-love is contented with his own presence, whereas a person who does not have self-love always wanders to get love from other people or things. He is always restless. He never feels satisfied even after receiving love from people. His hunger for love never ceases, and hence he demands more and more attention from others. As a result, his relationships are ruined and he always lives in misery.rn rnSo,

Grave danger in uprooting a Guru Do not accept a known guru as guru, and if you do, then do not turn your back on him. Use a pot if you do not like him. The pot will not have any problems. Worship it because your buddhi (intellect) will not be active there and your work will get done. Now who would be so careful that he would not allow his intellect to interfere? How can one understand all this? Questioner: At the time we make someone our guru, he appears to be very good, he

The spiritual science of Akram Vignan helps us find the balance between taking care of our material responsibilities and pursuing our spiritual goals, very easily, as this spiritual science works alongside our material obligations. In Akram Vignan, the fundamental change starts internally when the ignorance of the Self is completely removed through the grace of the Enlightened Being (Gnani Purush). Here, Self-Realisation is attained through a scientific process of Bhed-Vignan

Questioner: If we surrender to the great souls that lived thousands of years ago, can that be considered surrender? Can we make any progress through such surrender or do we need to surrender to a living great man? Dadashri: You can progress even through Paroksha (indirectly- one not currently living). However if you find such a living (Pratyaksh) person, then your liberation will be instant. The indirect approach will give you the benefit of progress but there is no liberatio
