I recently came across some notes I had made on my visit to India when doing some research on my book. My notes relate to one particular individual living in Jaipur who was extremely well read. He could not only read Sanskrit, but at least five other languages. My reason to speak to him related to my book research, and in our conversation he had told me that he was able to consistently win the lottery at least every month. Now I did not know what to make of this considering he lived in modest surroundings in a small village. However I later spoke to other people in the village who spoke highly of him. In particular I learnt he frequently gave away money to people in need. He had financed the building of three wells, a school, and had purchased a lot of land, built homes and then rented out at extremely cheap rates.
So I went back to the man wanting to know more about his lottery winning. He explained to me that five years ago he had started to delve into the world of vedic science and vedic mathematics. He told me there were some ancient vedic texts directly related to gambling strategys as there were various gambling games popular in ancient times (Hindu's will recall the story in the Mahabharat where Yudistra loses in a game using dice). The man then described his attempts to apply this knowledge to the lottery and over the course of a few months made visits to the city to buy tickets based on his vedic strategy. A few trial and errors, he started to win more often than he lost. The winnings he told me were not huge but after a few months of winning the small amounts, he built up to a sizeable figure. He was able to show me a metal cupboard full of papers which amounted to his research. I asked if he was worried someone might steal his notes to make a profit. He laughed and said no-one but him would be able to understand his notes. So I asked him how did it all work. He told it was complicated to explain it to someone, which was why he was not able to pass it on to anyone else in the village. He said he could go through his notes but he would have to sift through many many pages of disorganised notes. All he knew was that he had the knowledge in his head and sometimes he would need to go back to his notes as a reminder of some aspects, after which he would decide on the numbers to be played. Well to me it was a nice story but without being able to verify what he told me myself then it would remain that way.
A few months later I received a letter from this man with a few pages of handwritten notes. In his letter he told me he had tried to transcribe some of his notes in order to create a kind of instruction manual on beating the lottery odds. He told me to read his notes and to follow the procedures as described, and play the lottery on a regular basis. His notes were to me quite complicated and I am not a very numerate person and so his notes were left in one of my files and forgotten about. Well having recently come across the notes again I have decided to give them a try- however there are some mathematical aspects I may need some help with, so it may be a few weeks before I can play my first set of numbers.
I may ask all readers of this blog to help and we can then test this vedic mathematics system of winning the lottery.
Perhaps we can all share in this good fortune?!

Struggles of Life and renewing your interest in life.
A week ago I was approached by someone who has been struggling with a lot of things since he was young age. Now at age 40 he felt he did not have much hope for the future and that his life had essentially come to a dead end. He works at a job he does not love and comes home to an empty house, prepares a meal or orders a takeaway and sits in front of the tv until it is time for bed. Although he did not feel depressed and did enjoy one or two things in life, he still felt in essence that his life was at a stop and he was often asking himself 'is there nothing more?'.
My answer to him was that there is always something more. That question, that seeking to know more was the essence of his life and is the essence of every life. There is something inside us which wishes to grow and expand and know more and when there is no opportunity to do so, or one simply does not know how to know more then life can feel it is at a stop.
I asked him if there was anything he felt he always wanted to do or know more about but never felt it was something that would be worth pursuing or even possible (in his mind) of pursing. Initially he replied no but then a few moments later as he thought some more about it, he mentioned almost with a shyness that he had always wanted to know more about making wine. Although he had never been a keen gardener he was interested in knowing more about grapes and how many different types there must be to create wine. As he spoke I could see his previously dull eyes light up. I suggested he visit his local library and take some books out on wine making and grapes and just spend some time reading them on his evenings.
Yesterday I listened to him speak to me on the phone about having read over 10 books on wine and wine making. He told me his mind was bursting with ideas on making wine at home, as well as growing grapes in a greenhouse. He told me it renewed his joy at work as he was now speaking to more work colleagues about his new interest and subsequently engaging a lot more people than he had been before. He went on to tell me that for the first time in his life he felt he had 'things to do' and he even started to think of going abroad to visit wine farms.
I relate this story because a great many people are and have been through many struggles in life which have crippled them to an existence similar to the person above. It is difficult to restart your interest in life in such cases but all it takes is a simple spark to ignite you.
Let me relate to you another true story about a homeless man living in America who had lost all hope and was living an unhappy existence. One day he happened to see a piece of writing paper fly in the wind and land near to him. Taking that writing paper he began to write and that little spark ignited in him a great need to write some more. That man went on to complete a book and this writing process invigorated him that he was able to touch many other lives. He eventually built is life back together and published his book. One piece of writing paper was all it took. So I ask everyone struggling in life to find your spark and you will find your life.

Conference
I have been busy the past few weeks with preparing for a conference I have been invited to speak at. The Spiritual Empowerment conference is being held in Thailand for a week and thereafter in Ohio, USA for two weeks. If anyone will be attending then I will be happy to meet with you and speak as I will be staying the full weeks at those location although I will be only talking two times during the week.
Plans for the free on-line consultations will be delayed as I try and attend more meetings for a new collaborative book that is hoped for release in June. I an quite excited about this project and if you do wish to be kept informed about this new title please sign up to the newsletter below.

Free Online Live Consultations
Following the great feedback last summer from the free seminar, the most useful aspect people found was the question and answer sessions with myself. I have since been exploring ways in which I could extend this and be able to reach out to a lot more people. Currently due to my schedule further seminars can not be planned for at least six months.
However I am looking to offer a free online live consultation to anyone who wishes. The technology to achieve this is still being looked in to. However it should not take very long to implement.
I hope to offer some dates and times for which people can then book themselves on and then at the set time for us both to come online and begin the free consulation.
It is an exciting venture and by offering this for free, I hope I can assist those who may not normally be able to access life improvement consultations. More news will be posted soon.

Moleskine type notebooks for writing lists
I am often asked if I do any lists at the moment and what materials in particular I use, such as the paper and pen, as well as my preferable place to write lists. The answer is that I yes I do continue to write lists although these are normally done in short monthly breaks and usually the list is for someone who has requested some help with a particular problem. It is possible to use lists to help others and this I gladly do.
Paper, Moleskine type notebooks for lists.
I have experimented a lot with using different materials on which to write lists on. I know many of you use A4size paper at around 80gsm which does work very well. I know others have use notebooks. For myself I now only use a notebook to write my lists. I have found that it helps my concentration to keep a dedicated notebook for writing lists and the quality of the notebook used also provides a strong signal to the universe that this is a sacred work.
I did come upon the famous Moleskine brand of notebooks, but in trials I found the pen I used did not seem to work well with the paper. However very soon I happened to see a notebook on sale at a supermarket called ASDA.
This notebook was called an executive A5 notebook, with a nice soft leather feel cover, elasticated band and bookmark. I purchased one for the price of £2.50 and tried it. The pages were square lined, and quite smooth and thick, with a creamy yellow tinge to the pages. My pen took the pages very well and I have purchased a few more to keep in stock as I have found that this supermarket can sometimes completely change or end stock lines (in fact yesterday there were none on the shelf).
As compared to moleskine notebooks people will this very usable for writing lists, and the price is very reasonable. I chose upon the A5 format because the place where I write lists lends itself to this size, but there is an A4 version available (but again hard to find stocks of them).
If you are a plain A4 page user -I would suggest to try out notebooks when writing lists to see how you get along with them.
If anyone would like to try them and find difficulty in getting hold of them then I am happy to post them on to anyone (you would need to cover any postage costs). Get in touch via np@mrdee.net.

Japan Earthquake
A short post today to request everyone who is doing Lists to also spend a minute before you start a list to send out a positive healing thought out to all those affected by the Japan earthquake.
I also will be spending a lot of my time for the next few weeks doing all I can do to help those affected. This will mean a delay to the Vedic Store site and subsequently the ability to begin taking any orders for genuine Yantra. I hope everyone remains patient until I am in a position to complete everything that needs to be done before orders for genuine yantra can be taken.
Thank you.
