Somasekhar Hyderabad, Aug. 17 Goldstone Infratech Ltd has put on hold its plans to diversify into solar energy, and decided to focus on the oil and gas sector. The Hyderabad-based company had announced a joint venture with Dr June Min, founder of TF SolarPower Pvt Ltd, and Jusung Engineering Ltd, an equipment supplier in Korea, to set up solar panel facility in the Fab City near Hyderabad last year. “The Korean company is interested in picking up over 40 per cent equity, but we have deferred a decision on the solar energy foray till October in view of the tough times,” said Mr L. P. Sashikumar, Managing Director, Goldstone Infratech. Goldstone, which manufactures insulators for the energy sector and equipment for the telecom industry, has decided to enter the oil and gas pipeline business in a big way, he told Business Line. “We have already got the machinery and set up a plant to manufacture corrosion-protective sleeves for oil and gas pipelines. Trials are on and we are in talks with international players,” Mr Sashikumar said. The company witnessed good growth during the quarter ended June 30 with orders for silicone insulators driving its sales turnover to Rs 15 crore(Rs 8.03 crore). The net profit was Rs 2 crore (Rs 57.85 lakh). 18-8-2009 THE HINDU THE PROMOTERS ARE OF SO MUCH WAVERING MIND THAT it sends shivers as to whether they are running a business or advertising company. The only plus points are their claims to being number one in their present line of business in telecom and THE FACT THAT SEBI ORDER FOR OPEN OFFER AT 47 MAY BE UPHELD BY THE COURTS forcing promoters to make the open offer at that rate resulting in an eighty percent appreciation from cmp. ANYONE HAVING BETTER INFO PLS POST thanks ...

bmji also have a detailed look at goldstone infratech where open offer battle is on between sebi which says 47 and co says half of it. capital base small, profits okay for the same but fv is 4 and not 10. thanks and post ur findings in goldstone infra board...

Arg, Some people just cannot love someone they have not seen, be it even God, what do you do with such folks who find it difficult to love someone scriptures have talked about? Isnt there another path for them. Yes of course there is in the form of Jnana and Karma Yoga.. Hinduism offers three paths that hopefully should suit most folks....

Is it morally or legally correct to garland political leaders and social workers with garlands made out of Currencey Notes which are of legal tender. Why the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India is not comming out with their position on this practice which is now very much in common in our country. Are the Currency Notes produced by the Reserve Bank is meant to manufacture Garlands for Politicians and others. Request interested readers to give their valuable opinion....

Life is a coin. You can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once."...

this is a sham company. you will definitely loose your money. i bought this at 200+ and learnt my lesson by selling it at 70 odd. its never too late. sell now when it has some value. they have made a few acquisitions which seem to be bogus companies. I have a nack of picking these sort of companies. cybermate infotech, helios, compact disc, subex, aftek infosys etc. doesnt really matter if they are a proper management or not. the lesson to be learnt here is to stay away from small cap IT sector as a whole. it is very easy to cook their books as seen in satyam case. better buy large cap IT space or to stay away completely. infrastructure and power are the best pick. next comes mining and manufacturing. tourism and fmcg next. telecom and technology only buy market leaders(1st and 2nd)....

Worship of Iswara is the Easiest -
Worship with devotion.

Quote Bhagavad Gita – chapter 9, stanzas 26-28

26.patram puspam phalam toyam yo me
bhaktya prayacchati I
tad aham bhakty upahrtam asnami
prayatatmanah II
27.yatkarosi yad asnasi yaj juhosi dadasi
yat I
yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kurusva mad
arpanam II
28 subhasubhaphalair evam moksyase
karmabandhanaih I
samnyasa yoga yuktatma vimukto mam
upaisyasi II

When translated:

26.Whoever offers Me with devotion, a
leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I
accept that, the pious offering of the
pure in heart.
27.Whatever you do, whatever you eat,
whatever you offer in sacrifice,
whatever you gift away, whatever
austerity you practice, O Kaunteya, do
it as an offering to Me.
28.Thus shall you be free from the bondage
of actions yielding good and bad
results. With the mind firmly set in
the yoga of renunciation and liberated,
you shall come to Me.

Swami Chidbhavananda elaborates:

Metaphysical understanding and material abundance are of no avail to gain access to the Lord. It is pure devotion to which the Lord submits Himself. He who has Bhakti gains Bhagavan easily. A leaf and such like things are mere token of love.

The grovel offered by Vidura was accepted with pleasure by Sri Krishna.The flattened dry rice hesitatingly brought by Sudama was pulled out from him and partaken with relish by Krishna. The dried fruits offered by Sabari were graciously accepted and eaten by Sri Rama. Lord Siva accepted the tongue-tainted venison and mouthful of water offered by the hunter Kannappa. Bhakti is all in all to the Lord.

dear Mohan kumar,

Didn`t realise that Coca-cola, like the traditional Asuras, is so powerful, with such multifarious applications. Thanks for the warning!

Quote - It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days Unquote.

Shudder to think about the fate of the intestines and all the delicate apparatus in the body in what we call the stomach, given to us by the mercy of God.

Radhika thinks one enjoys coca-cola with crisp hot alu bonda or vade-pav, but the prospects are that it will dissolve or burn the entire digestive system.

Rightly said - PVN had the vision, political will etc. and he got his policies immplemented by selecting suitable persons, including MMS. Being associated then, MMS has the practical experience and should be capable of repeating it, but there is no PVN now to provide the drive and backing for him.

Dear friends,

For a number of years I used to receive the customary Deepavali Greetings from a famous Diamond Merchant. With this year’s Greetings he has sent me a picture of Lord Dhanvantri, God of Healing and a very inspiring message, which is an extract from the writings of Sri Nani A. Palkiwala. This message is so apt for all of us country men to be remembered on Mahatma Gandhi Jayanthi day. We have to remind ourselves as to what we were and what we are. I felt like sharing this with our boarder friends.

Palkiwala’s message should rightly be read in one go, the entire message as one piece, but MMB limits the length of a page. Inspite of the practical difficulty of conveying lengthy posts through the MMB, I am making an attempt. It is being transmitted in three parts. If it comes out reasonably well, without corruption, in a readable fashion, I will be happy.

Best wishes

(Following is the excerpts from the writings of late Shri Nani A. Palkiwala, the renowned constitutional expert and a first class patriot, in his book “India’s Priceless Heritage’. The writings are more relevant in today’s life as we have to remind ourselves as to what we were and what we are)

It has been my long-standing conviction that India is like a donkey carrying a sack of gold; the donkey does not know what it is carrying but its content to go along with the load on its back. The load of gold is the fantastic treasure in arts, literature, culture and some sciences like Ayurvedic medicine which we have inherited from the days of the splendour that was India. Adi Shankaracharya called it – “the accumulated treasure of spiritual truths discovered by the Rishis”. Rabindranath Tagore said, “India is destined to be the teacher of all lands.” To Sri Aurabindo, Mother India is not a piece of earth; she is a power, Godhead. He predicted that India will be “the moral leader of the world”. No greater or better deserved tribute has been paid to any country than by Friedrich Max Mueller in India, “If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant, I should point to India.”

The richness of the Sanskrit language is almost beyond belief. Many centuries ago that language contained words to describe states of conscious, the subconscious and the unconscious mind and a variety of other concepts which have been evolved by modern psychology, psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. Further it has many a word of which there is no exact synonym even in the richest modern languages.

The Upanishads are crammed with thoughts that wander through eternity. Their message is that there is far more to life than success, and far more to success than money, and there can be no higher destiny for man than to be engaged in endless seeking after endless truth. They give the most memorable answers to the three immemorial questions posed by T.S.Eliot:

“Where is the life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?”

Carl G. Jung observed that during his practice of over sixty years he had never come across a person who had spiritual faith and strength and who yet needed the attention of a psychiatrist. No tranquillizer can enable you to cope with strains and stresses and tension as effectively as the boundless reservoir of the Spirit. In Our Culture C. Rajagopalachari makes the significant point that “All these periods of what may be called a no-government condition could not possibly have been tided over but for the self restraints imposed by our culture, the joint family, and the jaati discipline. Not only was order maintained, but trade and arts flourished, the fine arts as well as the common artisans’ work so essential for life. The absence of government made no great difference. A mere figurehead of a king was enough to do duty. Sometimes even that was not found necessary.

The nation did not break up, but held together by reason of the castes and the joint families and the dharma of the nation. There was at all levels something that held people together in good behaviour the kula dharma, the jaati dharma and Bhaarata dharma.

Swami Ranganathananda has expounded the Vedantic philosophy of freedom and tolerance in the following memorable words.

“In Vedanta, the words ‘Atheist’ and ‘agnostic’ have none of the sinister associations which attach to them in Western religious (and even rationalist) understanding. If God is the innermost Self of all, an intellectual denial of this truth does not abolish it nor can an intellectual affirmation of it help to establish it. This is what creeds mean, whether theistic or atheistic. Just as in physical science belief or unbelief with respect to gravitation does not affect the truth of it or its impact on human life.

Romain Rolland, in his preface to his, Life of Ramakrishna, entitled “To My Western Readers”, gives expression to this Vedantic approach; the fact of religious consciousness and the profession of religion are two different things. It is the quality of thought and not its object which determines its source and allows us to decide whether or not it emanates from religion.”

In his famous book, Karma Yoga, Swami Vivekananda describes, “Karma Yoga, therefore is a systems of ethics and religion intended to attain freedom through unselfishness and by good works. The karma-yogi need not believe in any doctrine whatever. He may not believe even in God, may not ask what his soul is, not think on any metaphysical speculation. He has got his own special aim of realizing selflessness.”

Ahimsa, peace and non-aggression were the hallmarks of Indian culture. In her crowded history of over five thousand years during which she has thrown up vast and puissant empires, India never practiced military aggression on countries outside her borders. Thanks to our ethos, even today the Indian people patiently suffer miseries and endure injustices which would result in devastating explosion in any other country.

In these days of spiritual illiteracy and poverty of the spirit, when people find that wealth can only multiply itself and attain nothing, when people have to deceive their souls with counterfeits after having killed the poetry of life, it is necessary to remind ourselves that civilization is an act of the spirit. Material progress is not to be mistaken for inner progress. When technology outstrips moral development, the prospect is not that of a millennium but of extinction. Our ancient heritage is a potent antidote to the current tendency to standardize souls and seek salvation in herds.

Centuries have gone by but the luster of that heritage remain undimmed. Invading forces have descended on this country but the culture remained indestructible.

C. Rajagopalachari observed “if there is any honesty in India today, any hospitality, any chastity, any philanthropy, any tenderness to the dumb creatures, any aversion to evil, any love to do good, it is due to whatever remains of the old faith and the old culture.”.

The old faith and the old culture referred to by Rajaji are not merely for Hindus, nor merely for India but for the whole world. Today that wisdom is essential not only for the rebirth of the Indian Nation but also for the re-education of the human race.

dear vkk43

I started visiting the board about a year ago only. It did take much time to understand that your contribution to the welfare of the boarders was significant. You had vast knowledge, experience of the moods of the market and were uptodate with working of the corporate entities.

And you were willing to give your candid opinion without reservation. The views were always mature, made older people like me (much older, I guess) listin to the advice.

Whether a small investor (like me) or a trader (many friends here seem to be traders), we benefitted a lot from your posts.

I am sure you will review the happenings during the past two months and decide to come back to MMB and share your knowledge.

Our friends are looking forward to the resumption of your posts.

Best wishes and regards
