Decoding Lakshmi.( Goddess of wealth).

Lakshmi is one of the four goals of life, said the seers, the other three goals being: Dharma(social order); Kama, (pleasurable pursuits); and Moksha, (spiritual practice).
Some scriptures say that Lakshmi follows Vishnu who is the upholder of dharma and her son is Kamadeva, the god of pleasure. Is that wishful thinking?
To understand Lakshmi, we have to understand where wealth comes from. Wealth in its most primal form comes from under the ground. Plants come from under the ground. Minerals come from under the ground. Water comes from under the ground. Even petrol comes from under the ground. Lakshmi is therefore called Patala-nivasini.
The sea locks wealth, the subterranean realm realms lock wealth, trees lock wealth – until it is harnessed and released. Those who release this wealth were called Devas. And Devas lived above the ground as fire (Agni), wind (Vayu), sun (Surya), moon (Chandra) and rain (Indra).
The reason why Devas were worshipped was not moral, it was material; they released wealth and made it available to all – they released rain from clouds, trees from seeds, water from earth, metals from rocks.
They say one should never keep the image of Lakshmi standing in the house; she will get tired and run away. One is advised to keep images of Lakshmi comfortable seated, preferably next to Saraswati, goddess of knowledge.
In others, Lakshmi and Saraswati are forms of Riddhi and Siddhi, wives of Ganesha.
So we at wiTdom are blessed by Lord Ganesha .
wiTdom can bring Lakshmi into your life……………..Atul Sikrai.

Shekchilli, Gangu Teli, Mitti ka Madhav and Raja Bhoj

They most aptly describe the kind of people we have in our organization(wiTdom).
Shekchilli(Rashmi Shah) is a dreamer
Gangu Teli(Minal Mehta) does not dream at all. He likes to implement things. He calls himself a ‘realist’ and focuses on practical things like doing the task and measuring their effectiveness and efficiency. That’s what the world should be doing. He has a disdain for dreamers. His name Teli suggests that he is an oil presser. Just as an oil presser uses force to push oil out of oilseeds, Gangu Teli uses pressure to get work out of his team. Carrots, he says, are dreams; sticks, he insists, are reality .
Mitti ka Madhav (also known by some as Gobar ka Ganesh)(Avani Parekh) is neither a dreamer like Shekchilli nor an implementer like Gangu Teli. He is what you want to be. On his own, he is neither. He is a reactive member of the team, doing whatever pleases you, with no mind or opinion of his own.
That brings us to Raja Bhoj(Atul Sikrai), the ideal leader, a dreamer as well as implementer .

I AM Me

I own everything about me
including everything it does;
including all its thoughts and ideas;
including the images of all they behold;
whatever they may be...
anger,
joy,
frustration,
love,
disappointment,
excitement
and all the words that come out of it
polite,
sweet or rough,
correct or incorrect;
loud or soft.
And all my actions, whether they be to others or to myself.
I can see, hear, feel, think, say and do.
I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive,
and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me.
I own me, and therefore I can engineer me.

I AM
ATUL SIKRAI.

Revarsal of Fortunes.......

We face a dual challenge in terms of our finances - building wealth, and preserving ours wealth. It is this latter challenge that sets our clients apart from other investors.
I believe there is a major difference between rich and wealthy. The difference is in duration. How long does the money last? Will it be gone once the person's earning power is gone? Will it be passed on to future generations?
The difference between wealthy and rich is very simple. It's knowledge. Wealthy people know how to make money. Rich people only have money. Once you know how to make money, you can build sustainable wealth. The money never stops coming. If you have a reversal of fortune, it's not a big deal. You just make it back.
we list wisdom and knowledge as the two most important gifts to ask from God.
Wisdom and knowledge can create great wealth for anyone who desires it. Last week, a client of ours came to me and asked what he could do to create wealth. My immediate response was to learn everything he could about wealth. Once he had the knowledge, then he could begin formulating a strategy and work with a coach to build the wealth. But the knowledge needs to come first. Otherwise, if we do happen to get rich, the money is not likely to last.
I am most grateful to my mother who instilled in me an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. This is the greeted gift (other than life itself) that my mother gave me. It's this thirst for knowledge that drives me to teach others about wealth and how to attain it.
Warmest regards,
Atul Sikrai.

Thinking Investment Think only wiTdom

Atul Sikrai :
The best investment practitioners, the ones who get results, rely not just on their instincts and experience but on the insights of the trailblazers in their field—the people who interpret, challenge, and even devise the strategies and tools that shape investment management. But when you're in the trenches—serving clients and running a business—the voices at the front can have trouble getting through, and you may sometimes wonder if your methods are as current as your clients deserve.
Strategies continue to be explored, and tactics can change almost as quickly as the markets.
So sit in on this remarkable think tank. Treat yourself to a compelling array of ideas—from the doggedly practical to the delightfully abstract—that will inform and stimulate your own thinking and reawaken the reasons you came to wiTdom investment advisory in the first place.
