Yama: The God of Death with a Business Acumen

Yama, the Hindu god of death, transcends his ominous title to embody principles essential for success in life. Beyond guiding souls to the afterlife, he represents justice, righteousness (Dharma), and law. Yama's business acumen lies in his balanced approach to governance—administering justice impartially and upholding moral order. His teachings emphasize integrity, accountability, and the importance of ethical conduct. Like a wise CEO, Yama understands the significance of maintaining harmony and fairness in all dealings. By embracing Yama's principles, individuals can navigate life's challenges with clarity and integrity, ensuring not only personal success but also contributing to a more just and righteous society.

Here's where it gets interesting: In the context of business and life, Yama can be seen as a symbol of risk management.

Facing the Inevitable: Anticipating Challenges

Yama's role as the overseer of life's transition to death underscores the inevitability of change—a concept applicable in both life and business. Just as death is certain, so too are the unforeseen challenges that can arise in any endeavour. Embracing Yama's essence means recognizing the impermanence of the status quo and the importance of anticipating potential risks and obstacles. In business, this translates to a proactive approach to risk management and contingency planning. By acknowledging Yama, individuals and organizations cultivate a mindset that embraces change and prepares for the unknown. Rather than being caught off guard by challenges, they approach them with resilience and adaptability, ensuring they can navigate through turbulent times and emerge stronger on the other side.

The Scales of Justice: Weighing Options and Consequences

Yama's depiction with scales symbolizes the meticulous evaluation of the departed's deeds, a concept directly applicable to decision-making in business. Just as Yama meticulously weighs the actions of souls, entrepreneurs and leaders must carefully assess the options before them. The scales of justice mirror the process of weighing potential benefits against drawbacks in the corporate realm. Like Yama's discernment, effective decision-making involves a thorough consideration of the consequences of each choice. By adopting a balanced approach akin to Yama's judgement, individuals and organizations can make informed decisions that align with their values and objectives. This practice fosters accountability, integrity, and ultimately, leads to outcomes that contribute positively to both the business and society at large.

The Steadfast Steersman: Having a Contingency PlanTop of Form

Depicting Yama atop a buffalo underscores the importance of a robust contingency plan in navigating life's uncertainties. Similar to a skilled rider guiding a powerful buffalo, a well-prepared contingency plan provides stability and direction when faced with unexpected challenges. Just as Yama maintains control over the transition from life to death, a contingency plan enables individuals and organizations to manage crises with resilience and focus. It serves as a guiding force, ensuring swift adaptation to changing circumstances while maintaining a steady course toward predetermined objectives. By embracing the essence of Yama's steadfastness, entities can confidently face adversity, knowing they have a structured approach to overcome obstacles and emerge stronger on the other side.

Yama: A Surprisingly Relevant God

Yama's relevance extends far beyond his traditional role as the god of death. In moments of pressure—whether it's meeting deadlines, navigating negotiations, or navigating volatile markets—Yama's wisdom offers invaluable guidance. Embrace his teachings to stay prepared, assess risks meticulously, and make informed decisions. Just as Yama ensures souls transition smoothly, his lessons emphasize the importance of adaptability and resilience in the face of life's challenges. By channeling Yama's essence, individuals and businesses can confidently confront uncertainty, knowing they have the tools to navigate through turbulent waters. So, when the next hurdle arises, remember Yama's timeless wisdom—it's not just about facing death, but about embracing life's inevitable changes with grace and foresight.

Yama's Toolkit for Life's Challenges

Building on the idea of Yama as a symbol for risk management, here are some specific tools he offers for navigating life's uncertainties:

Scenario Planning: Just as Yama oversees the transition to the next realm, we can plan for various "afterlife" scenarios in our projects or businesses. This means brainstorming potential risks and their consequences – both positive and negative.

Cost-Benefit Analysis: Taking a cue from Yama's scales, we can adopt a more balanced approach to decision-making. Instead of focusing solely on potential gains, we can weigh them against potential losses, just as Yama weighs the deeds of the departed.

Developing Backup Plans: Yama's trusty buffalo represents the importance of a strong contingency plan. By having backup options in place, we can react swiftly and decisively when unexpected situations arise.

Building Resilience: The inevitability of death that Yama embodies can be a reminder of life's impermanence. This awareness can foster resilience. Knowing that challenges are inevitable allows us to develop the mental fortitude to bounce back from setbacks.

Acceptance and Letting Go: Yama's role as the usherer of souls can also be seen as a metaphor for letting go. Sometimes, the best course of action is to accept what is beyond our control and focus our energy on what we can influence.

By incorporating these tools from Yama's symbolic toolkit, we can approach life's uncertainties with a sense of control, preparedness, and ultimately, greater peace of mind.

Stairway to Grace

There's a lady who's sure

All that glitters is gold

And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows

If the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh ooh and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Sommige mensen weten het zeker, het is allemaal goud wat er blinkt en met dat goud kun je de weg naar de hemel kopen.

En als je daar dan binnenloopt, zullen ze alles voor je doen, jij bent en was immers de beste op aarde?

En ze kopen de weg naar de hemel.

There's a sign on the wall

But she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

Er word wel eens wat geroepen, over een Bijbel en ene Jezus, maar je weet toch? Soms hebben woorden meerdere betekenissen en je moet niet alles letterlijk nemen.

In a tree by the brook

There's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.

In een boom bij de beek, zit een vogel die zingt:

"Ach, soms zitten we er wel eens naast en zijn onze gedachten enkel een kwelling"

En ik vraag me af, zou het echt?

There's a feeling I get

When I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

Die gevoelens die ik krijg als ik naar de toekomst kijk, als mijn binnenste me oproept om een andere weg te kiezen.

In my thoughts I have seen

Rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who standing looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

In mijn dromen zag ik witte kringen van rook door de bomen en hoorde de stemmen van hen die er naar keken, en ik vraag me af, zou het dan toch?

And it's whispered that soon, If we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn

For those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter.

Er word gefluisterd, dat als wij gehoor geven aan die oproep om eruit te stappen en het licht volgen, er een nieuwe dag volgt, voor degenen die durven en de bossen zullen daveren van vreugde.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow,

Don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.

Is er gerommel in de keuken, gaat de onrust weer tekeer, maak je niet druk, het is slechts om ruimte te maken voor nieuwe, pure ideeen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by

But in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

Want het klopt, er zijn twee paden, maar gelukkig is er tijd om de andere weg te kiezen.

En ik vraag me af, zou het dan toch?

Your head is humming and it won't go

In case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Je hoofd zoemt, het wil niet weg, maar weet je? Dat is de oproep om uit te stappen. Het is vrijheid die je roept.

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,

And did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

Lieve mensen, hoor de wind, weet je niet dat je weg naar de hemel wordt geopenbaard in de fluisterende wind?

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

En als we doorgaan op de weg waar onze schaduwen en voetafdrukken groter groeien dan onze ziel,

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to showb

How ev'rything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last.

Loopt daar vrouwe genade die we allemaal kennen, Ze schijnt als de zon en laat zien dat je alles in Goud kunt veranderen. En als je heel goed luistert, hoor je Jezus’ lied:

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.

Als jij in Mij bent en Ik in jou, dan wordt je de Rots en zul je niet wankelen!

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

En dan ontvang je door Vrouwe Genade, de weg naar de Hemel!

Be the pipe

It´s not about what you post but what you listen to. It´s about sharing the valuable ideas that you hear. You don´t want to be the source of everything, you want to be the pipe for everything.

Quirky Inspiration~

Well, here’s something funny: I stumbled upon this quote “Life is short, smile while you still have teeth” yesterday, and I couldn’t resist sharing it today because of its sheer randomness. 😂 Out of all the motivational stuff I’ve come across, this one’s an unexpected curveball that really tickled me. But you know what? It actually makes a lot of sense, if you think about it. We’re always…

Matthew 5:13-16 Salt and Light "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage. "Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. #unexpectedwisdom #classicsrock #tomwalker #leavealighton #jesus #light #cityonthehill https://open.spotify.com/user/nietzelfdoen/playlist/2AMtN6wekPZvbilsR0bCcT?si=3rxO8hJBShuqTR6Nup9bDg

2 Samuel 6:12-15 It was reported to King David that God had prospered Obed-Edom and his entire household because of the Chest of God. So David thought, "I'll get that blessing for myself," and went and brought up the Chest of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David, celebrating extravagantly all the way, with frequent sacrifices of choice bulls. David, ceremonially dressed in priest's linen, danced with great abandon before God. The whole country was with him as he accompanied the Chest of God with shouts and trumpet blasts. #unexpectedwisdom #classicsrock #joy #unity #dance #god #kingdavid #madonna

Genesis 11:6 God took one look and said, "One people, one language; why, this is only a first step. No telling what they'll come up with next—they'll stop at nothing! 2 Corinthians 13:11 And that's about it, friends. Be cheerful. Keep things in good repair. Keep your spirits up. Think in harmony. Be agreeable. Do all that, and the God of love and peace will be with you for sure. #classicsrock #unexpectedwisdom #joy #peace #unity #Jesus #starship #nothingsgonnastopusnow https://open.spotify.com/user/nietzelfdoen/playlist/2AMtN6wekPZvbilsR0bCcT?si=SQNZZgjhQAuQD3sJ4QZg1A
