    Live a life of discipline and live a life of celebration

    Muharram 2015 is on Tuesday, 13 October 2015 Dussehra (Vijaya Dashami) is on Thursday, 22 October 2015 Diwali 2015 in India (Festival of Lights) is on Wednesday, 11 November 2015 Guru Nanak Jayanti is on Wednesday, 25 November 2015 Christmas Day is on Friday, 25 December 2015

    We bring this October edition of Rodics Newsletter Employee Times teeming religious fervour, blaring music, excited chatter, mouth-watering delicacies, laughter, gaiety and sheer pandemonium... the festive season in India is here again! Beginning in September with Ganesh Chaturthi in Maharashtra and Onam in the South, followed by Id-ul-Fitr and culminating in Christmas and the New Year, our country positively rocks in the last quarter of the year.

    The festivities reach a crescendo with Navratri, the 9 day festival of the Goddess Durga followed by Diwali, the festival of lights.

    A nation of diverse cultures, each state celebrates the festive season differently with its own unique customs, rituals and culinary delights. There's the Garba and Dandya Raas in Gin the West, the five day "Durga Puja" in the East and Ram-Lila and Dussehra in Northern India.

    And of course there are the royal Dussehra celebrations in Mysore in South India - a visual feast.

    Diwali, which marks the end of the season, is celebrated today by almost every community in India, irrespective of religion, caste, creed or region with lamps being lit outside every home, the Rangoli or coloured floor motifs at every doorway, colourful festoons and splendid firework displays in every nook and corner.

    Business thrives in India during the festive season. It becomes a shopper's haven at this time, with traders and craftsmen displaying their best creations - be it saris, handicrafts or jewellery. Big brands vie to woo customers with megabuck advertising campaigns. The entertainment industry is in full swing too, with new music albums being released and a host of cultural shows catering to every audience.

    It's boom time for the travel industry as well, as people who wish to escape the madding crowd, take time off to tour different bits of this vast and beautiful country with its variety of landscapes. With the entry of private players in the airline industry, quite a few good deals are up for the grabs at this time. The Indian Railways also runs special trains during the season and there are a number of good tour operators to arrange your trips for you.

    If one wishes to savour the awesome variety of Indian cuisine, then this is most definitely the time to be there. The long queues outside confectionery shops bear testimony to the fact that the Indian loves his

    food! And what a mindboggling array of sweets, snacks and savouries! Halwa, laddoos, rosogolla, gulab jamun, rabri, samosas, bhajjia, chaat...the list goes on...

    A caveat however - while gustatory temptations abound, it's a good idea to stick to hot food from covered stalls or restaurants and drink bottled mineral water.

    But then there's the flip side. Like logistic nightmares. Traffic can practically come to a standstill on festival days because of the large crowds, temporary constructions on the roads. Traffic diversions can take place randomly and a street that you thought was two-way can suddenly become one way without notice!

    So it's a good idea to factor in some extra time when you're travelling. Travel and accommodation bookings should be made well in advance as these are busy times.

    Health and safety are other areas of concern. Stampedes, fires and thefts are not uncommon at this time so exercising that extra bit of caution helps. Availability of adequate medical care can also be an issue with reduced number of hospital staff.

    It's the end of the monsoons and the weather is generally good at this time. However, it can get muggy and the odd thundershower and flooding can happen in parts of the country.

    We organized Technical workshop at our corporate office on 24th & 25th August in the august presence of our CMD Mr. Raj Kumar, Director - Mr. Manoj Kumar, Executive Director - Mr. Amit Agarwal and CFO - Mr. Sapan Gupta.

  • Introduction From our early school days we have learnt that as we go deeper into the Earth towards its Centre, the temperature rises rapidly. We have seen red hot boiling molten Magma flowing through Volcano eruptions and boiling hot water with steam coming out through Natural Hot Springs, which shows that Earth has a huge potential of heat (Thermal) energy hidden inside it, which is hot enough to melt even the rocks located inside its hard Crust. This Heat energy generated and stored in Earth is known as Geo Thermal Energy. In our early cave age, Humans used caves to protect them from outside cold in winter as well as from excess heat during summer. People have been using this heat in their backyard trenches for composting of their agricultural & domestic wastes for transforming it into organic fertilizers. This Thermal Energy of Earth has been harnessed by Humans for bathing from Hot Springs since Paleolithic times and for Space Heating since ancient Roman Times. The oldest known Spa is a stone pool built in 3rd century BC on Lisan mountain in China. Romans in 1st century AD used it for public baths and underfloor heating. France operated its first geothermal heating district in 14th century and first industrial exploitation began in 1827. In modern times it is being used for generation of electricity and for internal heating in buildings and mega green houses on a large scale.

    Harnessing Earths Heat Energy

    Source of heat The source of Geothermal Energy below the Earths Crust originate mainly from radioactive elements inside the Earths Core and left over primordial heat from original formation of our Planet, when it was extremely hot. The majority of radiogenic heat is generated due to decay of radioactive elements in the Earths Mantle resulting in production of daughter isotopes of uranium 238, uranium 235, thorium 232 and potassium 40, which develop radioactive chain exothermic reactions releasing huge quantum of heat.

    Hot Core of Earth Structure of Earth

  • The structure of Earth, as shown in the pictures above, is a rigid solid outer Crust of thickness varying from 8 to 40 km. Beneath this solid Crust lies the Hot Mantle (upper & Lower) of about 2900 Km, followed by Outer Hot Core of about 2250 km and the Central Solid Core of about 1300km. The temperatures at the Core Mantle boundary may reach upto 4000C, which causes internal rocks to melt thus inducing plasticity in the Mantle, making it lighter to flow & move up towards Earths Hard Crust. The potential of heat energy generated within 10km of Crust is almost 50,000 times more than energy from Global resources of oil & natural gas. This internal geothermal reservoir of Earth and high pressure developed therein is responsible for triggering major geological activities and plate tectonics inside the Earth and causes regular volcanic eruptions as well. The places where the Crust is thin and where tectonic plate boundaries are located with geologically active young volcanoes, like that of Iceland, which is located over a rift on continental plates with a large number of volcanoes, act as the hot spots for release of geothermal energy. These spots are seismically very active, causing tectonic movements, cracking of rock covering with intrusion of water inside the Crust, which is then released back in the shape of natural hot springs and geysers with temperatures even upto 200C. About 47 terawatts (TW) of heat is estimated to flow from Earths interior to the surface. Earths geothermal resources are theoretically more than adequate to meet our requirements but a very small fraction of it can be economically harnessed.

    Harnessing of Geothermal Energy Geothermal Energy can be harnessed in a number of economical ways for our benefit. The most common uses are for internal heating of buildings, mega green houses, spas, industrial use and for generation of electricity as well. This Geothermal energy is available anywhere and everywhere on Earth but can be harnessed only at places where the economy allows, mostly where it is available at shallow depths, as it is highly uneconomical to retrieve it from deeper levels. The mild heat available at 10m to 100m below the surface is sufficient to supply heat energy required for climate control of our green houses, homes and local area buildings. The Hot Springs or Geysers can be directly used in winter for internal heating by circulating pumped hot water through pipes and during summer the process is reversed to drive indoor heat from buildings and supply hot water at heat exchangers for domestic & industrial use. Heat can be drawn from dry hot ground also at shallow depths with heat tubes or downhole heat exchangers and heat pumps. Iceland is leading in the World in direct application of Geothermal Energy with 92.5% of its homes heated by it and has the Worlds largest District Heating System.

    Geothermal Power Generation Geothermal Energy is being used for generation of electricity also. In 1904, Prince Ginori Conti tested the first geothermal power generator at Larderello dry stream by lighting four electric bulbs, where after Worlds first commercial power plant was established there in 1911, followed by New Zealand, which built industrial plant in 1958 which generated 594 Mw of power in 2012. In 2010, out of world installed Geothermal Power Generation capacity of 10960 Mw, US was leading with 3086 Mw followed by Philippines (1904 Mw), Indonesia (1197 Mw), Mexico (958 Mw), Italy (843 Mw), New Zealand (628 Mw), Ice land (575 Mw), Japan (536 Mw), Iran (250 Mw). About 11700 Mw of geothermal power plants were operational in the World in 2013 and in 2010 about 28000 Mw of additional geothermal heating capacity was being utilized for district heating, space heating, spas, industrial processes, desalination plants, agricultural applications and the like. Indian geothermal provinces have the capacity

  • to produce 10600 Mw of power but so far no such plant has been installed. Our first Geothermal Power Plant of 5 Mw was to be established in Pugah Ladak in J&K but work has not been started as yet, even though the project stand allotted about three years back.

    Hot dry rock geothermal reservoirs are generally available at a depth of 4 to 8 Km below the surface but at some places it is available at shallow depths. For harnessing this heat energy for generation of electricity, the common mechanism is to tap into the naturally occurring hydrothermal convection system by pumping cold water through injection wells drilled deep into the crust, which gets heated up, converted into steam and then collected back at surface through return production wells drilled adjacent to the injection wells, as depicted in the schematic diagram shown below. This hot water and steam collected at surface is used to run the steam turbines for generation of electricity and hot water from turbines is either returned back to earth or supplied for industrial use, space warming, internal heating, de-icing of roads, etc. The type of technology adopted for power generation depends upon the temperature & quantum of water & steam mix. The initial capital cost for these power plants is very high due to deep drilling with special drilling machines and it is usually uneconomical to go for drilling deeper than 5 km.

    Geothermal power is cost effective, reliable, sustainable and environment friendly. It is considered to be renewable as the quantum of heat extracted is a very small fraction of total heat available inside the Earth. Though geothermal wells and plants sometimes release some greenhouse gases trapped inside the Earth, such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, methane and ammonia, yet the quantum of such emissions is a very small fraction of greenhouse gases emitted by conventional power plants using fossil fuels and hence it is considered to be green power. In some cases, trace amounts of dissolved toxic gases and elements such as mercury, arsenic, boron and antimony are found with the hot water, which precipitate on cooling and can be hazardous for the environment. To eliminate such hazardous effects either the effluent hot water is treated before discharging on surface or the hot water is injected back into the Earth.

    Geothermal Plants have minimum land and water requirements as compared to conventional thermal, solar, wind or tidal plants and are also not dependent on fossil fuels. They have a huge potential to play a very significant role in controlling Global Warming and leading us towards a cleaner and sustainable energy sector. We need to take earnest steps to expeditiously harness our available Geo thermal potential.

  • Sahaja (=Spontaneous) Yoga (=Union with one's Self) takes our awareness beyond the relative mind, into the realm of Reality that can be felt tangibly - on our central nervous system (see below).

    "It is important for everyone to have that knowledge of the roots within ourselves, within our society and within human beings as a whole Sahaja Yoga allows the individual to become his own Spiritual Guide." Sahaja Yoga is a system of meditation which brings a breakthrough in the evolution of human awareness.

    Sahaja Yoga works by cleansing the subtle system of energy that exists within every human being.

    For thousands of years philosophies all over the world have described a system of energy within all human beings. The system is said to consist of seven main energy centers known as chakras, three channels known as nadhis, and a dormant energy at the base of the spine known as kundalini.

    The diagram shows this subtle system of energy that lies within us. This is an ancient diagram of our central nervous system, depicted in India long before the advent of western neurology. It shows three channels and seven chakras.

    When the Kundalini energy is awakened through the practice of Sahaja Yoga Meditation this energy passes through the 5 chakras that lie above it until it reaches the 7th chakra (Sahastrar). Here there are 1000 nerve endings of the central nervous system which get enlightened and nourished by this energy.

    Sahaja Yoga itself was prophesized a long time ago in many of the world's spiritual traditions and religions. As a result of this happening called by many names - Self Realization, second birth, enlightenment, Satori, etc. - spiritual ascent takes place effortlessly, like the sprouting of a seed into a big tree. Physical, mental and emotional balance is achieved as a byproduct of our spiritual growth.

    We then realize that we are not this body, mind, ego, conditionings, emotions or intellect, but something of an eternal nature which is always residing in our heart in a pure, undisturbed state - the Self or Spirit. Self Realization is the actualization of this connection with our Spirit.

    Understanding Sahaja Yoga

    Man in his search of joy and happiness is running away from his Self, which is the real source of joy. He finds himself very ugly and boring because he is absolutely unknown to his Self. Human beings seek joy in money or possessions, in power or human limited love and ultimately in religion that is also outside. The problem is how to turn one's attention inward.

    The inner being, which is our awareness, is energy (call it the energy of Divine Love). All the evolution and manifestation of material energy is guided by the supreme energy is guided by not know how powerful

    and thoughtful this unknown energy is. The silent working of awareness is so automatic, minute, dynamic and expansive that we take it for granted. At first it appears as silent throbbing vibrations through our being after Self-Realization. Now a method has been found to tap the Divine Power and this is called "Sahaja Yoga.

    Three Channels

    Ida Nadi - (the left side): Ida Nadi is the left side, the Moon Channel. It gives us the power of our emotions, in it's pure state it takes the qualities of deep Joy, pure love, compassion, music and art. This side is the more feminine side of mankind but exists equally in men and women. However, human beings are prone to left side problems such as emotional attachments, depression, low self esteem and feelings of guilt, lethargy, ritualism, bad habits and despair

    Pingala Nadi - (the right side): Pingala Nadi is the right side, the sun channel. It gives us the power of our rational mind, our physical being, learning and the strength to overcome problems through our endeavors. However, human beings are prone to right side problems such as egoistic behaviour (selfishness), arrogance, pride, anger (violence), hatred. This is the more masculine side of men and women.

    Shushumna Nadi - (the centre): Shushumna nadi is the balance of the other two channels, daily meditation, as described on this web site, leads to a cooling of the sun channel and a warming of the moon channel. The human attention then stops swinging from left side to right side, from happiness to sadness, from activity to sloth, and remains always in the centre, always acting without acting, doing without doing, witnessing the dramas of our own lives.

    SAHAJA YOGA

  • How does Yoga - Meditation Work?

    Yoga-meditation practice reduces over-activity in the two major sympathetic nerve channels and activates para-sympathetic nerve energy, which facilitates balance and nourishment. Para-sympathetic energy is traditionally known in yoga-meditation as Kundalini, the central or mothering type of energy, which rises to connect and integrate.

    Chakra Qualities:

    The human body's vital life forces are concentrated into centres called Chakras. The Chakra is a subtle energy centre that normally cannot be perceived. Each Chakra being designed to supervise and maintain the perfect operation of the bodily systems under its control.

    Missing Those Days Those amazing days. When there was no responsibility of the real world Just a tension of completing homework.. When our greatest enemies were our teacher, The principal, our siblings or our classmates.. When we used to fight like mad for silly things But Soon again we become friends. When we used to chase one order in corridors in interval

    And return to class with body dipped in sweat Recess our favourite time period that always seemed to be small When we used to see secretly the most beautiful/ smart student of class Days when we were have bundles of ideas. When we wish to grow up quickly and imitate like matured person Those sweat memories make me hurtful and sometimes my eyes over flow Unforgettable days not for me but for every student

    HIGHWAY

    See! The path that goes toward We dont know where its end is Sometimes the journey does not going smooth There are many obstacles, hindrance Just similar to our life Our life is not bed of rose It is full of thrones We dont know what will happen next But still we going on through the path of life This highway recalled me Go ahead, always And miles to go before I sleep And miles to go before I sleep.

    Human Endeavor In order to bring meaning to life it is not important how long one lives, in the history of historical achievements most of the discoveries and inventions stand to the credit of young and fertile brain, literary people who have created the history in art and literature have lived short span of life but their persuasion to accomplish the targets in life were identified and commitments were unblemished till their success. The discipline, dedication and honesty has been the trademark for achieving the highest success in life.

    I consider Religiosity is a fear Psychosis of mind. Though mankind started evolving his knowledge through small findings which had big impact in his life, still he had ingrained fear and so clung to an imaginary thing called Religion on whom he can put all his miseries. Eventually over the years we have slowly got over this fear by discovering the divine power in terms of nature. Everything that we enjoy is from nature and the knowledge we acquired to ordinate it to our benefit. This gave us immense strength and slowly eroded the fear of religion and hence religion is losing it validity world over. In introspection, I tried to find a society which has followed a particular religion and have found profound peace in it. Can anybody show me such a society? None as per me. This should be an irrefutable proof that we do not need religion at all. What we need is we must look inside us and try finding that divine power in us which can be equated with the divinity at large in the nature. Some of our earlier teachers have stressed the need to remain in an order of society and do our best in it without seeking benefits from it. I feel the essence in such sharing of knowledge by our teachers to feel the divine by working for it which does not need religion. The reason that I wanted to write it here is to excite people to debate on it and try finds a better solution for our troubled world. I also consider Religiosity is an Intoxicant. Just like Alcohol or the, like. If we do without them we are better off. But if we succumb to them then devastation will befall. Fanaticism is such a succumbing approach to Religious intoxicant that leads to sure incompleteness. Anything incomplete is reactive and not stable. This instability threatens our society much more strongly than anything else. Let's try to identify it and know it to stay away from it. May the best sense prevail.
