The digital foreground has presented banks with a huge opportunity to attract new customers, lower costs, develop new propositions and business models, as also explore customer value to its maximum. To create a digital environment is now a priority for all banks and they need to undergo considerable investment for complete transformation.

If you are tense for some reason, know that you are caught in the rut of unconsciousness. A spiritual seeker should wake up and relax. How can you relax till the situations change? Situations change only when you relax, look up, look within, and take refuge in the Mantra and repeat it with Love and trust in its infinite power to clear the fog of your mind and it Works!!
Each religion has its own powerful sounds that evoke the God in us. God is light. When you evoke the Light, dark forces that conspire sitting in your own mind cannot work. Unconsciousness creates the ground for the negative forces to work, and negative forces are dark, they are effective in darkness, they cannot tolerate light, can’t survive in light, so they always look for opportunities when we are off guard, a little slip from the state of consciousness and you are enveloped with dark forces!
They are not waiting outside of you to enter, they are right there inside of you in the subconscious layers of mind and till you have cleansed and purified your subconscious, they are with you like your own shadow.
Fear, anger, anxiety, tension, they are not only enemies; they are also the forces which create opportunities for all of us to rise to our Divine inheritance. If you have not gone through pain and bondage why should you ever try to rise or work to overcome them and transcend them?
Mantra is the mystic power, the tool for us to work with, the non-violent weapon to transform the diabolic forces into Divine Light and Love. Every faith tradition that has created enlightened Masters, have all used it, it is the Word, it is the Sound, and it is the primordial essence of all that is.
Never curse your negative weaknesses it only empowers them, they are mere reminders of your challenges of life. They are there, for you are born to work with them, through them, Beyond them. Yes, Mantra will do that miracle you are waiting to see in life!!
