Understanding why you feel what you feel is one of the most important aspects of human development. After understanding comes control. When you control your emotions through vertical development, you can be more successful and happy.
We’ve all seen adults behave like children and ‘throw their toys out of the pram’ if they don’t get their way. An inability to control emotions prevents us from growing up and becoming mature successful human beings.
Dr. Alan Watkins, founder of Complete Coherence, introduces the key phases of human development and explains why poor emotional control is holding back progress. He asks us to imagine a world where we never have to feel anything we don’t want to feel; where we have complete control of what we feel and when we feel it.
Emotions meet technology in a new app (Universe of Emotions). Taking us on a journey around this Universe, Dr Watkins explains how we can choose our own emotional ‘planetary’ address and live happier and more fulfilled lives.
Alan Watkins is CEO and founder of leadership consultancy, Complete Coherence. He is recognized as an international expert on leadership and human performance.
Dr Watkins has a broad mix of commercial, academic, scientific and technological abilities. Over the past 18 years he has been a coach to many of Europe’s top business leaders and has helped companies treble share price, enter the FTSE 100, salvage difficult turnarounds and establish market leadership in their industry. He has written five books and numerous peer reviewed scientific articles. He advised the GB Olympic squad prior to London 2012 and is working with them leading up to Rio in 2016. He has three degrees and is a neuroscientist by background.

В гостях у Владимира Познера президент ИМЭМО РАН, профессор, академик РАН Александр Дынкин. Он беседует с ведущим об итогах президентских выборов в США и о том, кто лучше для России — Трамп или Байден, о «гибридной войне» и о том, как коронавирус меняет мир.
9 января, 2007 год. В этот день мы уже вовсю работали — начинали примерно с 5ого. Youtube только появился, а мы выпускали журнал на дисках. FXA Studio находилась в маленьком офисе на первом этаже дома, где я жил. Никому тогда не были интересны презентации Apple, однако я ее смотрел в прямо эфире. Досмотрев, буквально в тапочках и с кружечкой чая спустился в офис — говорю, мол смотрите. Работа встала, ибо все охренели. Тогда на экранах зрители увидели презентацию, которая навсегда войдет в историю и учебники по маркетингу. За один час Стив Джобс раздавил всю индустрию производителей мобильных телефонов. Apple проехалась по всем больным местам устаревших трубок. Это казалось невероятным. Настоящее пришествие гаджета из будущего. Реальный сенсорный экран, а не тормозящее убожество со стилусом, как у КПК — о таком мы только мечтали, смотря кинофильмы. Нормальный интерфейс, близкий к компьютерному. Настоящий интернет в телефоне. Интеграция Google Maps. Все это казалось фантастикой. И было понятно, что это перевернет мир. Конечно, далеко не всем. Идиоты носились и с пеной у рта доказывали, что это очередное никому ненужное гуано, а к концу года Apple выпустит кнопочный телефон. Теперь они стыдливо помалкивают.
Несмотря на то, что мы были игровым журналом, я понимал, что нельзя проходить мимо такого события. Скачать презентацию Apple тогда было невозможно, тем более в хорошем качестве (тогда хорошее качество было 480p, HD только-только входило в обиход, и уж точно не в интернете), поэтому пришлось запрашивать ее у русского офиса, состоявшего тогда из двух человек. Но все получилось — спустя несколько дней мы получили паленую болванку с самым, как сегодня оказалось, легендарным выступлением Джобса, а мы принялись за создание ее русской версии. Сегодня, спустя 10 лет я заапгрейдил ее до HD-версии (720p, какая есть), и делюсь с вами, дабы вновь пережить этот исторический момент.

This video has every detail about the Kedarnath ji ki Yatra. This is the 5th Jyotirlinga of Lord Shiva. This video is a summary of 2 day travel. We started the yatra from Sonprayag and went to Shri Kedarnath Dham and came back to Sonprayag. We did night stay near Triyuginarayan temple.
During my travel there in May 2019 — I noticed Vodafone and BSNL have network coverage at Kedarnath Dham.
Imp information:
There is a cloak room at Sonprayag, i showed that in previous episode Bhiri to Triyuginarayan.
Later on i realised walking on Galcier or snow was risky, i should have avoided, i will strongly suggest you to avoid walking at areas where there is a slope, just a slight miss and one will fall and this may be life threatening.
Following is the summary of distance to be traveled in this yatra.
Sonprayag to Gauri kund: 5 km, Rupees 20 per person on jeep.
Gauri Kund to Kedarnath ji: 16.5 km.
Base camp is 1 km short of Shri Kedarnath temple. Garhwal mandal vikas nigam has their Guest house and tent facility at Base camp.
While its not impossible to go and come back in a day to Sonprayag but difficulty level is high especially if you don’t have high energy level.
Services for travel to Kedarnath ji:
You can take helicopter services that cost around 6000, this can vary between 5000 to 8000 depending upon the distance from Sonprayag. Flight time from a place near Sonprayag to Kedarnath ji is 6 to 8 minutes.
Helipad is at a half a km from Shri Kedarnath Temple.
If you want to hire a porter or a person with a basket or if an old person wish someone to carry him on Doli, these facilities are readily available.
Pony: Yes you can travel on Pony too — charges Rs 2500 one side, if you decide to walk down and mid way feel that you need to take pony for this travel, then you can still get Pony for rest of the journey.
In my suggestion: It’s better to walk down, only thing you should be physically fit to do this trek of 17 km, as some places the trek is steep.
Best time to travel to Kedarnath ji — 15th August to 30th September.
Avoid travel in the month of May because its crowded.
Note: Try to book at Garhwal mandal guest house, there accomodation is neat and clean in comparison to other facilities available there. You can do the booking by visiting their website. gmvnl.in/newgmvn/index.aspx
We went there without any pre booking, it was May month we had to pay rs 4000 for double occupancy room, though that could accomodate 4 people as well. In fact demand for room in May month is much more than supply.
Things to carry: You can carry food, water bottle or just anything else you want to carry because food, water and everything else is expensive on the yatra route. For example a glass of Lemon water would cost Rs 20. A water bottle on the yatra route would cost Rs 50.
If you want to eat Maggi it would cost Rs 80 or so.
……………………………………………………………………………………….
Biometric registration: Initially i was wondering what is the need for Biometric registration when no body is actually checking it at the entry gate and exit gate.
My take on this: It helps Government know the names and addresses of people who were doing Yatra during a particular time of the month...At the time of registration they ask you about number of days for which you want to travel. There is no hard and fast rule that you should follow that only…
One reason of course is to keep information about people who are travelling and other resaon is that if there is a mishappening on the yatra route and government wants to give some compensation, they can use this database for reference purpose.
Though exact number of people travelling on yatra route cannot be ascertained but this can work as an indicator.
Hope you are enjoying watching our Uttarakhand Char Dham yatra series, if you have missed watching any episode, i will suggest you to look at the playlist.
Should you have any query about this yatra route, please feel free to write your query in comments below.
Night stay options for going to Shri Kedarnath Dham:
Sonprayag: Very crowded place, i will not recommend you to stay at this place.
Gaurikund: 5 km from Sonprayag, very crowded place, you should avoid staying here over night.
night stay option 5 or 10 km before Sonprayag: Yes there are many guest houses which are 5 or 10 km short of Sonprayag.
Triyuginarayan: Good option 13 km from Sonprayag, but you should do booking at GMVL at Triyuginarayan, there not not many guest houses at this place, i mean the neat and clean ones.
There are many ways we can offer our respectful obeisances to Yamuna, a good way is to pray to her. One prayer I can share is Yamunastakam, written by Srila Rupa Goswami. Coming from the heart of Srila Rupa Goswami we can understand its potency. And he requests her to flood that person with pure devotional service who recites these eight prayers with a cheerful heart.
“May Yamunadevi, the daughter of Suryadeva, always purify me. She saves all, who touch her, from going to the realm of her brother Yamaraja, and enables even greatly wicked persons, who see her, to cross the ocean of their sinful deeds. Her attractive water charms the hearts of everyone.”

“Yamunadevi adorns Indra’s great Khandava forest with her enchanting current, and upon her blooming lotus flowers, various birds are always dancing. Simply desiring to bath in her pleasant, crystalline waters frees one from even the greatest of sins. May Yamunadevi, the daughter of Suryadeva, always purify me.”

“Sprinkling a single drop of her water upon oneself destroys the reaction of most heinous crimes. She increases the flow of confidential devotional service (raganuga-bhakti) for Nandanandana within one’s heart and blesses everyone who simply desires to reside on her banks. May Yamunadevi, the daughter of Suryadeva, always purify me.”

“Yamunadevi is so powerful, that although she flows through the seven oceans which surround the earth’s seven islands, she never merges with them. Being witness to many of Sri Mukunda’s wonderful pastimes, she manifests these pastimes in the hearts of those who take shelter of her. Her dark, shimmering beauty defeats the splendour of precious blue sapphires. May Yamunadevi, the daughter of Suryadeva, always purify me.”

“Ornamented with the supremely enchanting land of Mathura-mandala, Yamunadevi skillfully inspires love of Godhead (prema) in the hearts of the Vaisnavas who bath in her. With playful waves, which are like her moving arms, she worships Padmanabha Sri Krishna’s lotus feet. May Yamunadevi, the daughter of Suryadeva, always purify me.”

“Yamunadevi flows through the three worlds known as Bhuh, Bhuvah and Svah and distributes her loving emotions. Singing her glories burns even the greatest sins to ashes. She has become fragrant by the scented ointments from the body of King Nanda’s son Sri Krishna, who enjoys to play in her waters. May Yamunadevi, the daughter of Suryadeva, always purify me.”
“O Suryaputri! Devi! O Yamuna, whose waves are very purifying and who is surrounded by all the demigods! For those who recite with cheerful heart this prayers, please increase their bhakti for lotus-eyed Sri Krishna, who liberates all persons from their sins.”
( Srila Rupa Goswami, Stava-mala)
Talavan is one of the12 major forests of Vrindavan. Nestled in the paddy fields of Talavan is a beautiful temple dedicated to Lord Balarama, who killed the ass-demon Denakasura there. We enjoyed a wonderful day at Talavan having long kirtans and recounting the numerous pastimes that took place in that transcendental abode.
This is an Example-Song from the wonderful Chakrinis Songs of the Soul Audio CD. The Track is called Invocation. She truly is a Gopi, that Krishna adores.
