International Yoga Day - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

 International Yoga Day






Today 21st June is the International Yoga Day. Two of the greatest gifts that the Indian civilization offered to humanity are Yoga and Dhyana (meditation). And they are free, can be practiced by anyone irrespective of caste, creed or color. Many of the successful personalities be it in politics, sports, profession and business vouch their leaping to Dhyana.
Unlike other physical exercises, yoga works both on physical and mental levels. In yoga, you have to follow your breath through inhale and exhale cycle at every pose. When you observe inhale and exhale you automatically regulate your mind. 

In Dhyana, you suggest a thought for yourself, a thought that is higher than yourself. Your present state in profession or life is the combined product of your thoughts, words and deeds. Your environment influences your thoughts. While you may not be able to change your environment, certainly you can regulate your thought.  How can you do? It is by Dhyana only. Dhyana is not concentration but hovering of mind around a suggestion or a thought. Slowly as you dive deeper into yourself, there comes a stage you feel the vacuum. In vacuum, you may not know who you are and you are deep in your Self. This will be followed by train of thoughts. This is the pattern. So by exercising your will to regulate your thinking, you develop your capability to respond, not react to situations in your life.

I have been practicing Heartfulness (HFN) system of Dhyana from 1996 and yoga from 2007. Both are in my daily routine.  If you want to learn HFN Dhyana, reach out to Heartsapp. The training is free.

Salem - My District My Pride - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

 Salem - My District My Pride I dare to say that entrepreneurial ecosystem begins from this district and goes through Erode, Tiruppur and Coimbatore.   There is so much of activity that goes on here. Salem is known as Steel City, but I would like to call it as Mango city.   The mango grown here is called as Malgova (I don’t know whether I spelt it right), the fruit is juicy and pulpy.   I checked up the Geographical Registry (GI), the fruit is yet to be registered.   It is time it is done to enhance its prestige in the world market.   Another distinct feature is Sago, native to Salem.   Recent times, Sago Serve, a State Government initiative in getting the farmers organized is doing well.    But much more needs to be in terms of marketing and branding.   The district is known for Granites, Fabrics, Readymade Garments, Egg and Coir and coir products.   In the state government’s One District One Product scheme, silver jewelry is taken up.  But Salem is much more than that.  It is of

 Cuddalore - My District, My Pride The export potentiality profile of this district is quite amazing.   The district looks quite and simple despite the presence of major industries like Neyveli Lignite Corporation (NLC), SanMar Chemicals and ONGC and number of sugar mills.   Beneath its calm surface, however, lie the vibrancy both in terms of religion, natural beauty, artistic dexterity and economy.   Perhaps, it is dwarfed by the presence of Pondicherry as its northern neighbor.   But instead of being overwhelmed by it like Villupuram, Cuddalore should strive to use international talent to its advantage.   Below is the list of export potential products and its location in the district Cashew Panruti Imitation Jewelry Chidambaram Organic chemicals Cuddalore Marine products Entire coastal area Ceramics Vadalur Coir Salaikarai Tourism Nata

Legalisation of Documents - R R Padmanabhan, Director - Exim Academy

Legalisation of Documents Legalisation of documents mean document issued with correct stamp in order to be recognised in another country.   In India, whenever, goods are shipped to Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)member states, the importers require trade documents to be legalised before sending to them.   The member countries of GCC are Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.   While Legalisation can be sought by any country, GCC countries are more specific and demand the same.   These are the countries that are not part of Hague Convention, 1907.     According to Wikipedia, “ The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, the Apostille Convention, or the Apostille Treaty, is an international treaty drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law”   Since these countries are not in the Hague Convention, the documents from India are to be attested or legalised by their respective consulates/embassies in India.
