THE HYPNOTIQUE CIRCLEMADRAS 39Years

Block S-27 C, Rainbow Flats, Ponnambalam Salai, K K Nagar, Chennai 78

PROF ROOSHI BIDS ADIEU!

Prof. Rooshikumar Pandya presented a Training Program on

Hypnosis in Chennai in July 1974.

That was the rst scientic program on Hypnosis in the whole

of India. The participants felt so happy that they thought it t to

start a Circle to keep the message alive and also pass them on to

a large number of people in the Society.

Thus came in to being our ‘Hypnotique Circle, Madras’.

Since 1974, Prof. Rooshi had made it a point to visit Chennai

at least once a year and our Circle had used all those occasions

by organizing a Training Program conducted by him on various

topics like:

Self Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy Body Language

Dream Analysis

Stress Management

Communication Skills

Assertiveness Training

Setting and Achieving Goals

30 years back, he used to present free introductory lectures on

Hypnosis in Hotel Adyar Gate ( now called Park Sheraton ). More

than 200 people would participate in Mowbray’s Hall, the largest hall

of the Hotel. Prof. Rooshi would ask all those participants to ask all

their questions regarding Hypnosis. And there would be minimum

50 different questions on all aspects of Hypnosis. Without noting or

jotting down any of those questions in ink, but keeping them all in

memory, he would start answering all of them one by one without

missing a single one of them in the next 2 hours. Occasionally, he

would point out a participant in some corner and tell him : ‘This

was your question. Now, this is the answer for your question’.

Literally and guratively, every single participant in the hall would

be mesmerized and spell bound by his memory power, knowledge

of the subject, command over language, sense of humour, including

his long, Samson-like, wavy hair style !

Prof. Rooshikumar Pandya is acknowledged by professionals

as “Communicator par excellence”. He was also affectionately

addressed as Rooshi in his training programs.

A multi faceted personality, in his two days’ training program,

he used to come attired in western lounge suit on one day and in

Indian Pyjama Kurta the next day. Prof Rooshi enjoyed eating raw

green chillies as snacks; He held a black belt in Judo. An ardent

student and exponent of Sitar, he used to dearly carry the 6 feet

long instrument and place it next to his seat in the ight, buyingone more ticket; brimming with a well timed sense of humour, he

cracked jokes, left, right and center on any topic that he addressed;

found time to spend with all his participants even till midnight after

presenting a full day training program.

Members of Hypnotique Circle have the pleasant memories

of having him as Chief Guest in their 30th and 35th Anniversary

Celebrations. In fact, on those occasions, people have queued

up to take photos with him, when he was hardly left with half an

hour to reach the Airport from T Nagar. Absolutely unperturbed,

recommendation of Mr. Anand-duly accepted by the majority, it was

decided to have our monthly meetings from 4.00 to 6.30 pm on the

4th Sunday of every month, so that there would be a 2 weeks gap

between both the meetings.

Two one hour talks would be presented, one on NLP and T A.

The idea was to expose 10 major Topics in these two Subjects

by experts in the eld during the course of one year. When it was

suggested to have a membership of 100 as our immediate goal,

Ms. Shanthi, spontaneously stood up and offered Rs.1000/- towards

Annual Subscription. A cascading effect followed with 6 more

members volunteering and registering as Members. At the end

of the inauguration, we had 14 Members and 4 Life Members on

rolls with lot many offering to follow suit. Treasurer Arun and Joint

Treasurer Ms Swarna were all smiles seeing the response, as were

the members themselves.

President Mr. Karthik made an emotional presentation as a votary

and personal beneciary of T A. He also emphasized the need to

have many circles like Lions Clubs and Rotary Clubs providing

NLP and T A in the metropolitan city of Chennai, so that the entire

Society would stand to benet !

THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON - By Mr G. Ganesan

One day all the employees reached the ofce and they saw abig advice on the door on which it was written:

“Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in

this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral which

is about to start in the gym”.

In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their

colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to knowwho was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and

the company itself.

The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were

ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people

reached the cofn, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone

thought: “Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well,

at least he died!”.

One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the cofn, and

when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They

stood nearby the cofn, shocked and in silence, as if someone had

touched the deepest part of their soul.

There was a mirror inside the cofn: everyone who looked inside

it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that

said: “There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your

growth: it is YOU.

You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are

the only person who can inuence your happiness, your realization

and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your

friends change, when your parents change, when your partner

changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when

YOU & LIFE - SUPERB MORAL STORY - By Mr Showkat Ali

Once an Emperor called upon all of his wise men and askedthem, ” Is there any magical saying which works in every situation,

in every circumstances, in every place and in every time. In every

joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? One answer for

all questions? Something which can help me when none of you is

available to advise me? “

All the Emperor’s advisers were bafed by the question. They

all agreed on one solution on the suggestion of a learned scholar.

Who gave them a note to be given to the Emperor. And the note

was to be opened whenever the the Emperor was in trouble.

Just a few days after, he was attacked by the neighboring

country. The Emperor and his army fought bravely but were still

losing the battle & the Emperor was trying to run away on his

mount. The enemies were following him getting closer and closer.Suddenly the Emperor found himself standing at the end of the

road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was

a rocky valley thousand feet deep.

YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you

realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

“The most important relationship you can have, is the one you

have with yourself”. Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid

of difculties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself

and your reality. The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone

the reection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed.

The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in cofns, which

show to any individual, the death of his divine capability to imagine

and create his happiness and his success. It’s the way you face

Life that makes the difference.

If he jumped into it, he would be nished…and he could not

return because it was a small road…the sound of enemy’s horses

was approaching fast. The Emperor became restless. There

seemed to be no way.

Then he remembered the note given to him by his loyal advisers

and he opened it.

It read .....”THIS TOO SHALL PASS”...

The Emperor read it, again and again. Suddenly somethingstruck him – Yes! THIS TOO WILL PASS. Only a few days ago, I

was enjoying my rule. I was the mightiest of all the Emperors. Yet

today, the empire and all its pleasures have gone. I am here trying

to escape from enemies. Like those days of luxuries have gone,

this day of danger too will pass. A calm came on his face. He kept

standing there. The place was full of natural beauty.

The realization of the message had a great impact on him. He

relaxed and forgot about those following him. After a few minutes

he realized the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was

receding. They moved to some other part of the mountains and

were nowhere near him.

The Emperor was brave. He reorganized his army and fought

again. He defeated the enemy and regained his empire. When

he returned to his empire after victory he was received with much

fanfare. The whole capital was rejoicing his victory. Everyone was

in a festive mood. Flowers were being showered on the Emperor

from every house, from every corner. For a moment, the Emperor

said to himself, “I am the bravest and the greatest Emperor. It is

not easy to defeat me. With all the reception and celebration he

saw an ego emerge in him.

At that moment something clicked his mind and he opened the

note and read it again. “This too shall pass!”

LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL

Compiled by Mr S. Narayanan

There was a farmer who had a horse and a goat…..One day,

the horse became ill. So he called the veterinarian, who said: “Well,

your horse has a virus. He mus...t take this medicine for three

days. I’ll come back on the 3rd day and if he’s not better, we’re

going to have to put him down. Nearby, the goat listened closelyto their conversation.

The next day, they gave the horse the medicine and left. The

goat approached the horse and said: “Be strong, my friend. Get

up or else they’re going to put you to sleep!” On the second day,

they again gave the horse the medicine and left. The goat came

back and said: “Come on buddy, get up or else you’re going to die!Come on, I’ll help you get up. Let’s go! One, two, three...”

On the third day, they came to give the horse the medicine and

He became silent. His face went through a total change – from

the egoist he moved to a state of utter humiliation. If this too is

going to pass, it is not yours. The defeat is not yours; the victory

is not yours. You are just a watcher. Everything passes by. We are

witnesses of all this. Life comes and goes. Happiness comes and

goes. Sorrow comes and goes.

Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate

your own life. This too shall pass. Think of the moments of joy and

victory in your life. Think of the moments of sorrow and defeat. Arethey permanent? They all come and pass away.

Moral: This life is so temporary, all it enjoyments and

sorrows will nish one day. The only thing which will remain

is our deeds and how we acted during the times of prosperity

and adversity .

the vet said: “Unfortunately, we’re going to have to put him down

tomorrow. Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other

horses”.

After they left, the goat approached the horse and said: “Listen

pal, it’s now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on!

Get up! Get up! That’s it, slowly! Great! Come on, one, two, three...

Good, good. Now faster, come on...... Fantastic! Run, run more!

Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you’re a champion...!!!”

All of a sudden, the owner came back, saw the horse running

in the eld and began shouting: It’s a miracle! My horse is cured.

We must have a grand party. Let’s kill the goat!!!!

The Lesson: Nobody truly knows which employee actually

deserves the merit of success, or who’s actually contributing

the necessary support to make things happen.

Remember: LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION

IS A SKILL!!!! If anyone ever tells you that your work is

unprofessional, remember:

THE PEBBLE IN THE SHOE

5 STEPS TO A SIMPLE AND CONFIDENT LIFE

by Mr Jim Fannin

There is one thing for sure in your life. Twelve months from now

you will either be better or worse. You won’t be the same. Will it be

a roller-coaster ride to what you want, will it be two steps forward

and one step back, or will you just go straight to your goals and

visions? What’s holding you back from business success, marital

bliss or par enting nirvana? More than likely it’s under the radar or

below the surface of what you think. Maybe, it’s like a pebble in

your shoe that’s irritating, uncomfortable, nagging and eventually

crippling.

The average person has thoughts per day.

On the days where life seems out of control and the “tail is

wagging the dog,” you may have 4,000 thoughts. Most thoughts are

about the past. However, a great proportion of them are focused

on the future. You cannot hold a future and a past-tense thought

at the same time. It is one or the other. And a few thoughts are

locked-in the moment. As you get older, present tense thinking

diminishes. Throw in the cell phone, voicemails, e-mails, Tweets,

Facebook, texts, FedEx, fax and world news in real time, it’s no

wonder present-tense living is dwindling.

Most pebbles originate from the past - most of them beingnegative. You can have experiences as far back as childhood that

still tiptoe into your subconscious mind. They can even penetrate

the consciousness of our daily actions. Over and over, we can play

past tense thoughts that weigh negatively on our mind. They begin

so innocently. Some are based on fact while other thoughts are

based on assumption. Some are not true at all. Most are based

on fear.

You have either positive or negative thoughts, but you

can’t think them at the same time. And the best news of all is you

have free will to have any thought you choose. However, some

negative thoughts can creep into your mind like a pebble in your

shoe.

Like a puppeteer, your thoughts pull the strings of all your

actions

LISTEN WITH AN OPEN MIND - by Mr K. Ravi

A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Laiq asked him,“If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, How

many apples will you have? “Within a few seconds Laiq replied

condently, “Four!”

The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer

(three). She was disappointed. “Maybe the child did not listen properly,”

she thought. She repeated, “Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one appleand one apple and one apple, how many apples will you

have?”

Laiq had seen the disappointment on his teacher’s face.

He calculated again on his ngers. But within him he was also

searching for the answer that will make the teacher happy.

His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the

one that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he

replied, “Four…”

The disappointment stayed on the teacher’s face. She

remembered that Laiq liked strawberries. She thought maybe he

doesn’t like apples and that is making him loose focus. This time

with an exaggerated excitement and twinkling in her eyes she

asked, “If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one

strawberry, then how many you will have?”

Seeing the teacher happy, young Laiq calculated on his ngers

again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher.

She wanted her new approach to succeed. With a hesitating smile

young Laiq replied, “Three?”

The teacher now had a victorious smile. Her approach had

succeeded. She wanted to congratulate herself. But one last

8/12/2019 May 2013 -3rd Proof


-15-

thing remained. Once again she asked him, “Now if I give you

one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you

have?” Promptly Laiq answered, “Four!”

The teacher was aghast. “How Laiq, how?” she demanded in

a little stern and irritated voice. In a voice that was low and

hesitating young Laiq replied, “Because I already have one apple

in my bag.”

Moral: “When someone gives you an answer that isdifferent from what you expect don’t think they are wrong.

There may be an angle that you have not understood at

all. You will have to listen and understand, but never listen

with a predetermined notion.”

PSYCHOLOGY OF DOOR

Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only

to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out,

doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory

lapses.

Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered

that passing through a doorway triggers what’s known as an

Event Boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and

memories from the next. Your brain les away the thoughts you

had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new

locale.

Thank goodness for studies like this. It’s not our age, it’s thosedoors!
