ಯುಗಾದಿಯ ಶುಭಾಶಯಗಳು



ಶರಣು.

ಯುಗ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಕಳೆದರೂ ಯುಗಾದಿ ಮರಳಿ ಬರುತಿದೆ
ಹೊಸ ವರುಷಕೆ ಹೊಸ ಹರುಷವ ಹೊಸತು ಹೊಸತು ತರುತಿದೆ .......

ನಿಮ್ಮವ,
ನಾಗೇಶ್ ತಾವರಗೇರಿಮಠ

VSNA Blog - President's Introduction

Dear Fellow Veerashaivas,

Learning to communicate effectively is a life-long process. Often it is a combination of trial and error and learning the hard way. This process contributes-sometimes positively and at other times negatively--to perceptions of ourselves and others.

People communicate in the best way they know and do not realize when and how they are failing to convey their intended message. When it is understood that the message is not clear, it is not a matter of blaming the past or making excuses; rather, it involves the maturity to recognize and change the elements of your communication that are not serving you well for those that are more effective. It is a matter of saying or thinking: 'No matter what has happened in the past, do I want this pattern or behavior now'? 'It is my choice to behave, react, respond differently and now I choose to do it another way.' 'Past is past; I cannot go on behaving the way I have in the past and expect anything other than the responses I evoked in the past'. There is a saying: When you think the way you have always thought, you will act the way you have always acted and you will get what you have always got.

The word, communication, in itself tells a story. It is derived from the Latin word communis meaning common. Some other words derived from this root are community, communion and communitarian. We communicate by creating common ground with those to whom we speak. When that is established a sense of community is begun and then followed by something greater than the whole; a spirit of community, which by some might be termed a kind of communion. The result of community spirit is the fostering and nurturing of people who co-operate, form effective teams, become friends and can be called communitarians.

With this in mind we are proud to release the BLOG “IVA NAMMAVA” (Universal Acceptance) as a communication tool for all the latest updates for our VSNA organization.

This can be accessed at http://vsnablog.blogspot.com/

Developing a sense of community is important in the day to day running of our VSNA Organization . Those with good communication skills and an understanding of the importance of the Our community soon develop a rapport with their colleagues. This fosters and creates a pleasant atmosphere where support and a sense of ease and co-operation are predominant. The result is good team building and focus on the projects and aims of the day rather than personal issues that arise because there is a perceived lack of support or dialog.

The successful organization knows these things well and practices them at every opportunity. By Communicating everyone can gain. The moment, the focus is on individual issues, the organization suffers with delays, poor quality attention, and perhaps fails. Good communication skills are needed by everyone to see that the work gets done in good spirit.

Yours Truly,
Sundaresh Siddiah
President of VSNA
