ॐ श्रीआदिनाथाय नमोsस्तु तस्मै येनोपदिष्टा हठयोगविघा !

(Salutation to Âdinâtha (Śiva) who expounded the knowledge of Haṭha Yoga)

Today on the day, When World is celebrating International Yoga Day, I’ll recommend one of the Best Books on Yoga.

We always think about body, but a human is made of body, mind, spirit and soul. A human has endless possibilities. His potential is beyond imagination.

This Book starts with Basic Asanas and move to advance yoga. You will understand why purification of body is required before purification of mind.

This book is divided into four parts :

1. Chapter One–Asana

2. Chapter Two–Shatkarma and Pranayama

3. Chapter Three–Mudra and Bandha

4. Chapter Four–Samadhi

All Verse started with Sanskrit Salokas followed by Detailed Explanations and wherever required with illustrations.

Yoga helps to maintain good health and keep body and mind fit. But it’s ultimate purpose is to prepare humans to attain higher state of consciousness. Wishing you all Happy International Yoga Day with Hope, You will find this book useful and give you a new insight to rethink about your life, your body, mind, spirit & soul. Thanks.

Book: Romancing the Balance Sheet
Author: Anil Lamba

“When you can hold a conversation with numbers, when you can talk to figures and make them talk back to you, when financial statements begin to lose their mystery, it is then and only then that you can begin to romance numbers.”

Today, biggest confusion is that Accountants do Financial Jobs. No, Accountants just do Book Keeping that includes Finalization of Balance Sheet/s. Financial Accounting and Financial Management, both are different. Financial Accounting is job of Accounting Team, But Financial Management is responsibility of all Departments, Whether It is Sales, Purchase, Admin, HR, IT or any Department. Any Decision that affects the Organization’s Profitability is a Finance Decision.

In very simple terms you will learn :

Cost of Capital

Net Worth

Earning Per Share

Break Even Point

Profit Volume Ratio

Leverage Analysis

How to find Desired Sales to earn a certain amount of Profit.

There are many lessons, you would have studied during your CA/CMA/MBA Courses, But It will be amazing to learn their practical usage in understanding the numbers.

I recommend the book just not accounting professionals, but to all top executives in any organization including their CEOs. Thanks.
