It has been said, “Be it Wat Phrathat Pha Ngao; the temple that has its own shade from a rock, “Giant Bodhi Tree in Prachinburi”; where idol of Buddha sits under a tree, The Mummified Monk in Samui; where a monk’s dead body is well preserved from last 40 years, all these places remind that every man is mortal, and every soul has to end it journey one day.” This is the belief of the people of Thailand, and they abide by it.

For some people cultural and heritage, the study is a passion for life. That’s what motivates them every day and people from different places fly in every day to spend their quality time in Thailand not just for having fun but also to get a closer touch with this country's mesmerizing cultural landscape.

Rudraksh Group Tells About Some Most Beautiful Places In The World

There’s nothing like traveling and seeing the world to broaden your horizons and the countries on this list are the most beautiful places in the world. This list by Rudraksh Group should encourage you to travel and see some of these gorgeous landscapes for yourself. The pictures of beautiful countries below are incredible, but nothing beats seeing these locations in person.

South Africa

This country sweeps international travel prizes and has travellers raving about its beauty so much that it has the highest repeat tourism of any long haul destination in the world! Not only does the country have stupendous natural beauty, but it’s urban-amazing too. The town of Franschhoek has been named amongst the five loveliest in the world, and the metropolis of Cape Town is more often than not picked as the most beautiful city on earth by travel lists and tourists alike, because of both its unparalleled natural setting and gorgeous architecture.

USA

From the jaw dropping Yosemite to the awesomeness of New York City, few countries can compete with what’s on offer in America.Half of the most beautiful canyons in the world are here, including Zion, Antelope, Bryce, Paria, Waimea and of course the Grandest of them all. The Painted Desert is one of the most beautiful in the world, and Tracy’s Arm is amongst the most beautiful fjord’s in the world. The Everglades are amongst the most beautiful wetlands, Yellowstone is by far the world’s greatest geothermal site and it’s not too bad for wildlife either. The States has two of the world’s top ten waterfalls in the form of Niagara and Yosemite, one wide, one tall, and both stunning.

Kenya

Land of the Maasai Mara and image of wild Africa. The country has been rated in the top 3 wildlife countries on Earth, and Mount Kenya is the second tallest mountain on the continent. The spectacle of the great migration is one of the greatest in the world, and the views of Kilimanjaro from Amboseli National Park are ironically probably better than from Tanzania itself, in which the great mountain is situated!

France

Paris exudes the most perfect atmosphere of cultural grandeur but although the capital gets all the attention, France offers so much more. Villages with abundant Old World charm are all over the country, from around the magnificent Loire Valley to verdant Provence. Then there’s the glamorous Riviera and if you want to see the world’s greatest palace (Versailles) and museum (the Louvre), here they are. But France is also a country of world-class living in outdoor cafes, in perfectly-preserved towns and in wine-producing regions such as Bordeaux and Champagne. If that’s not enough, see the majesty of Mont St. Michel, the numerous chateaux all over the country and the spectacular panorama of the Chamonix valley.

Greece

The Greek Islands on the blue waters of the Aegean Sea are home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. They’re the first images of the country but then there’s the majestic Mt. Olympus, extraordinary Meteora, and ancient ruins around the country. While Athens disappoints those looking for aesthetic inspiration, Greece is a country that truly satisfies all the senses and it’s understandable how the idea of so many gods originated here.

Rudraksh Group Wishes You All A Merry Christmas

May the sweet magic of Christmas ,Not only fill in your Heart & Soul , 

But also spread to your dear and near ones.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with fun and joy…!!!!

Iceland – a new opportunity to give your career a flight By Rudraksh Group

Iceland is the new place to be. As more and more foreign nationals are moving to Atlantic haven of Iceland, the place has become rich with exuberant career options. Rudraksh Group Mohali believes that Iceland is becoming an increasingly popular destination for corporates across the world, especially UK nationals.

It has been estimated that around 15000 immigrants are currently working in Iceland, which makes it one in every ten employees. This is because Iceland's job market is currently stronger than the UK's. Unemployment was at 4.4% in December 2013 and graduate unemployment at just 2.93%.

Many industries are thriving in the land of ‘fire and ice’. Fishing industry accounts for 40% of all export earnings and over 12% of the country's gross domestic product. Rudraksh Group listed the major industries that include aluminum smelting, biotechnology, finance, geothermal power, hydro-electric power production, software production and tourism.

Iceland is offering many job offerings which can be found and applied for through multiple portals. Some of them are Eures Iceland, Eurojobs.com – Iceland, GoAbroad.com – Iceland, Job.is, etc. and also through various employment services. Besides jobs, students can also apply for internships and work experience. These really enhance a students’ scope of career options. One can also volunteer for work as this enhances employability and improves language skills.

Rudraksh Group believes that though Icelanders have a strong grasp of English, knowing Icelandic (even basic) would be a real help. This is particularly helpful in hospitality industry. As more and more people are considering Iceland as a prospective career option, Icelandic language courses are easily available. Rudraksh Group Overseas Solutions Mohali and Rudraksh immigration services can help you locate these and enroll yourselves.

 Though Iceland is not currently a part of the European Union, EU citizens do not need a visa or work permit to enter the country. Once you acquire a residence permit and have lived in Iceland for six months, you'll automatically become a member of the Icelandic social insurance system, regardless of nationality.

THINGS NOT TO DO WHEN YOU TRAVEL

There are plenty of mistakes travelers make that lead to wasted money, lost time, and missed opportunities. It’s easy to say what to do, but we sometimes to forget to mention the don’ts.

Rudraksh Group takes this opportunity to tell you the things to be avoided during travelling:

DON’T eat near a major tourist site

The food near any major attraction is going to be double the price and half the flavor of what you’ll find elsewhere.

Instead of eating in a tourist trap, walk at least five blocks away from one. The further away you are, the more local, cheaper, and tastier the food will be. 

DON’T exchange money at the airport

You’ll get the worst exchange rates if you do. You’re better off lighting your money on fire. To get the best rates, use an ATM or credit card. This is will be as close to the interbank rate as you can get and ensures that you are not getting ripped off.

DON’T take taxis

Taxis are where budgets go to die — they are always overpriced. Skip them. The only time these are worth using is if you are splitting the fare among many people or need to get somewhere super late at night. Use public transportation as much as possible.

DON’T book too early

I understand it’s easy to get excited about your trip and — to make it feel real — book your flight, hotel, or resort right away. It’s done and you are going! But that’s a mistake. You’ll be the person who ended up paying more than others. When it comes to travel, the early bird doesn’t always get the worm. Don’t be overeager. Wait for the deals.

For your flight, wait about three to four months before your trip. This is when airlines start to raise or lower prices based on demand. For cruises or tour groups, wait until the last minute. Companies have to fill boats and tours, so they offer amazing last-minute deals to fill unused space — no one wants to set off with a boat half full.

DON’T skip the local tourist office

I’m always surprised at how few tourists visit the local tourism board. It’s always my first stop on any trip. They have advice on current events, festivals, and off-the-beaten-path information you aren’t going to find in any guidebook. Their job is to literally know everything about where you are. They get paid to help you. When you get to a new city, be sure to head to the tourism office and ask for information on what to see and do, and where the deals are. They have maps and discount cards, and they can help book accommodations.

Components Of Work Life Balance

Rudraksh Group has today explored 6 main components of  Work Life Balance

1) Self-Management

Sufficiently managing one’s self can be challenging, particularly in getting proper sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Self-management is the recognition that effectively using the spaces in our lives is vital, and that available resources, time, and life are finite. It means becoming captain of our own ship; no one is coming to steer for us. 

2) Time Management

Effective time management involves making optimal use of your day and the supporting resources that can be summoned – you keep pace when your resources match your challenges. Time management is enhanced through appropriate goals and discerning what is both important and urgent, versus important or urgent. It entails knowing what you do best and when, and assembling the appropriate tools to accomplish specific tasks. 

3) Stress Management
By nature, societies tend to become more complex over time. In the face of increasing complexity, stress on the individual is inevitable. More people, distractions, and noise require each of us to become adept at maintaining tranquility and working ourselves out of pressure-filled situations. Most forms of multi-tasking ultimately increase our stress, versus focusing on one thing at a time. 

4) Change Management

In our fast-paced world, change is virtually the only constant. Continually adopting new methods and re-adapting others is vital to a successful career and a happy home life. Effective change management involves making periodic and concerted efforts to ensure that the volume and rate of change at work and at home does not overwhelm or defeat you. 

5) Technology Management

Effectively managing technology means ensuring that technology serves you, rather than abuses you. Technology has always been with us, since the first walking stick, flint, spear, and wheel. Now, the rate of change is accelerating, brought on by vendors seeking expanding market share. Often there is no choice but to keep up with the technological Joneses, but you must rule technology, not vice versa. 

6) Leisure Management

The most overlooked of the work-life balance supporting disciplines, leisure management acknowledges the importance of rest and relaxation- that one can’t short-change leisure, and that “time off” is a vital component of the human experience. Curiously, too much of the same leisure activity, however enjoyable, can lead to monotony. Thus, effective leisure management requires varying one’s activities. 

Intriguing facts about Singapore

Rudraksh Group Overseas Solutions can help you realize your dream of going to Singapore. It is considered to be one of the best immigration consultancies, offering world class services for your immigration needs.

Today Rudraksh Group is all set to tell you some amazing facts about Singapore.

Story of the Singapore Flag:  Red -  brotherhood and equality of men, White - purity and virtue. The crescent moon for a rising nation; five stars for Singapore’s ideals of democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality. However, the flag was originally not like this. It was originally all red, but as red is a traditionally Chinese color, an all red flag was abandoned.  The crescent was also added to acknowledge the important presence of the Malays in Singapore.

Judiciary System: Singapore does not have a jury system even though it primarily follows the British judiciary practice. The chief justice and other judges of the Supreme Court are appointed by the president on the advice of the prime minister who in turn, is required to consult the chief justice on his recommendations. Low Crime Rate: Rated second in personal safety after Luxembourg among world’s top 50 cities. (Mercer Human Resource Consulting, 2003) Capital Punishment: Anyone caught with more than 15 grams (weight of a quarter coin) of heroin faces a mandatory death penalty.

Nature: The Bukit Timah Hill is the highest natural point in Singapore at 538 feet tall. Yet, it contains more species of trees than the entire North American continent.

Lightning & Thunder: Singapore has one of the highest rate of lightning activity in the world (Average of 171 thunderstorm days per year). Being near the equator with a hot and humid climate are conditions for lightning and thunderstorm.

Chewing Gum: Chewing gum has been banned in Singapore since 1992 to keep its subway running on time after wads of gum, disposed of on train doors has caused disruption. However, since trade agreement with U.S, it is now made available to those with medical prescriptions.

Some amazing facts about UK By Rudraksh Group

The Queen of the UK is the legal owner of one-sixth of the Earth's land surface.

In the UK, if you reach your 100th birthday, you get a personalized card from the Queen.

In the U.K., it is legal for kids over 5 years old to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises.

In the UK, accents change noticeably about every 25 miles (40km).

In the UK, all horses,ponies and donkeys must have a horse passport.

Rudraksh Group: 5 Reasons Australia is the most Stunningly Perfect Place To Travel

Australia is travel heaven, and if we had it our way, we’d be there all. the. time.

In fact, if “money were no object,” U.S. travelers would choose to visit Australia over almost every other country on Earth, according to TripAdvisor’s most recent Trip Barometer study.

And we can’t say we blame them. The Land Down Under is richer in flora, fauna, and attractive Oscar-nominated males. But those are just a few of the many reasons why, as far as we’re concerned, the Aussies have it better.

 The Great Ocean Road, the Aussies’ seaside version of Route 66, takes you past some pretty stellar rock formations.

In Australia, there are creatures called fairy penguins. After they get home from long days at sea, you can visit their colonies by night.

There are more kangaroos than humans in Australia, which makes life more adorable. To deal with all those marsupials, experts have concocted kangaroo birth control and a national Kangaroo Management Plan. Another population control – sniffle, tear, sniffle – is the kangaroo burger.

Australians don’t sacrifice sustainability for tourism. Lord Howe Island, the most beautiful island of coral reefs, is only allowed to host 400 tourists at any given time, no matter how many want to come.

A bunch of lakes in Australia are pink, thanks to algae and prawns.

Studying abroad versus studying in India – a comparative analysis by Rudraksh Group

Whether you should stay in your native country in the comfort of your family and friends against choosing to go out and receive a global exposure and excellent career opportunities is a dilemma as hard as Hamlet’s. But don’t you worry. Rudraksh Group Mohali has made the decision slightly easier as it has provided the following comparative analysis between the two choices.

• Education loans are quite easy to get these days. Maintain a good academic track-record, meet the eligibility criteria, and submit proper documents to ensure an easy education loan.

• Choose and apply for a relevant scholarship. These days, private scholarships are offered by companies and philanthropists to scholarships offered by various governments and educational institutions to boost research output. Apply for the suitable one.
• Research opportunities in countries like the UK and the USA are much more than in India. So, one may complete their research abroad and stay there as teaching faculty or may choose to come back to India and take up relevant jobs.
• Studying abroad bestows you with a global outlook. One may get home sick initially but gradually one becomes independent and responsible. Gelling with people of different cultures and backgrounds helps one with a sense of community-living.
• Employers prefer students with relevant academic scores and work-experience from universities abroad over the ones from Indian universities. This is because the internationally recognized universities are more prestigious and greater advantages. An international degree also helps with a better pay-package.
Conclusion: The difference between Indian premier educational institutions against international institutes of repute exists without saying. Going abroad is definitely a better option particularly when loan and scholarship options are easily available. Advantages of an international education are many and help you build a secure future and career.

Rudraksh Group Mohali Wishes You All A Very Happy Dhanteras

Dhanteras is the first day of the five-day festival, ‘Diwali.’ As 'Diwali’ falls on 11 November this year, Dhanteras will be celebrated on 9 November.

This is the Hindu festival which is seen as the lucky day to purchase new things, especially gold. On Dhanteras, goddess Lakshmi is worshipped to gain prosperity and well  being. It holds great significance mostly in the business community.

Also,  Kubera, the god of assets and wealth is worshipped on this day.

Dhanteras falls on the thirteenth day of the dark fortnight. However, the meaning of this festival is hidden in its name itself. 'Dhan’ means wealth and 'Tera’ signifies the thirteenth day.

On Dhanteras, Hindus consider it auspicious to purchase gold or silver articles or at least one or two new utensils. It is believed that new 'Dhan’ or some form of precious metal is a sign of good luck.

'Lakshmi Puja’ is performed in the evenings when tiny diyas (earthen lamps) are lit to drive away the shadows of evil spirits.

Dhanteras is also known as 'Dhantrayodashi,’ and takes place two days before Diwali, in honour of Dhanavantri, the physician of the gods and an incarnation of Vishnu.

Rudraksh  Group wishes that may this Dhanteras showers you with health and prosperity.

Rudraksh Group : Your Immigration Guide

By Rudraksh Group Mohali: 

What is Immigration..? 

Immigration is the movement of people into a destination country to which they are not native or do not possess its citizenship in order to settle or reside there, especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens, or to take-up employment as a migrant worker or temporarily as a foreign worker. 

Know About Multiple Benefits Of Immigration

As you know, immigration is the movement through which individual permanently move their place of residence from a particular country to another. Immigration is a concept that is widely talked about and debated. In the past five years, there have been about 8 million immigrants that came to the US, a statistical high, which has stirred much public debate. You see, immigration has its distinct advantages. Let us look at some of the benefits of immigration:

1. Economic gains

Critics have claimed that immigrants take on jobs, lower down wages, and drain too much tax money because of social services. However, what they do not realize that the jobs immigrants take are the job most citizens in the host country do not take. Immigrants filling up these jobs lighten the load of producers and consumers, and results in gains in economic welfare. It is a fact that immigrants are a source of low cost labor, but these cost reductions are eventually passed on to the consumer, so host country citizens benefit from this as well. The goods produced through the efforts of immigrant workers can also generate additional profits as the goods can be sold at lower price.

2. Increase in cultural diversity

The world seems to be growing smaller by the day, with different cultures within reach today than ever before. Immigration increases product diversity, something that many people enjoy very much. Immigrants moving in means more ethnic restaurants to dine in, more cultural centers to enjoy, and easier access to products only available in other countries.

3. Increase in standard of living in the part of immigrants

Immigration brings about change and development. An immigrant would not have moved have they not imagined better standard of living. The quality of life is significantly improved with immigration. This benefit is usually not experienced by the host country, yet it is one of the most important benefits immigration provides. It brings immigrants better opportunities, better chances to fulfill their goals, and a better life overall.

4. A younger workforce

The ratio of retired people to workers is expected to dramatically increase in the coming decades that would result to significant changes in the Security System (i.e. benefits). Immigrants, with their children and younger relatives, will bring in more young workforce that can slow down the increase of this very important ratio.

5. Skilled workers in much needed sectors.

Immigrants usually arrive because of employment preference. This means that they offer skills that are very scarce in the country. This will bring about various advantages. For example, if the supply of native neurologists is low, influx of more neurologist immigrants will significantly help the health care industry.
