DHARMA in CORPORATE WORLD:

Applicable to all of us in our day to day life, in our profession, as a business entrepreneur irrespective of nationality or religion. 

Explained in very sound, eloquent & thoughtful language with deep meaningful message behind it and thoughtful questions from audience at Artha Forum gathering ( organization of business entrepreneurs ). ......by His Holiness Bhakti Rasamitra Swami.

Few highlights from lecturer.

1. GREED IS MY GOD. Our greed is driving force behind expansion of our business or to move higher in our profession.

2. Compassion in Capitalism. We should climb our ladder with compassion not with greed.

3. Dharma or Duty has 4 legs: Basics principal of Human life. tapaḥ ( Austerity) śaucaṁ ( Cleanliness) dayā (Mercy) and satyam ( Truthfulness). 

A. Austerity: We should take voluntary inconveniences for benefits of other or for higher cause. In business or in our profession we should not cut the corner, not try to take route of easy way out, don't take path of least resistance, don't succumb by temptation...etc.  We live in society where our success is measured by how much money I have rather then how I earn that money? It is difficult to resist temptation when it comes to making money. Austerity is destroyed by intoxication means consuming anything which affects your consciousness. With intoxication we loose our sense of discrimination of what is right or wrong.

B. Cleanliness: Cleanliness of mind. Our decision or action is depend on our mind. Mind get agitated & restless with greed, anger, envy, possessiveness thoughts, can't make right decision. Mind should be feed with good thoughts, spiritual practices, keeping good company..etc. to make a thoughtful decision at work & home.

C. Mercy: Compassionate to your subordinate. Helping your spouse & family members at home.  Looking after your colleague, family & friends....etc. WE FIND OURSELVES  by THINKING ABOUT OTHERS. Mentality of sharing your wealth/profit in corporations. End of the day nothing belongs to you. We are not proprietor of this wealth & world.

D. Truthfulness:  Action or words spoken should be truthful, pleasant & beneficial to society. No speculative business. Expand your business on moral ethical principles. Try to earn & spend wealth with good consciousness.

SB 11.17.16 — Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, cleanliness, satisfaction, tolerance, simple straightforwardness, devotion to Me, mercy and truthfulness are the natural qualities of the brāhmaṇas ( saintly person ) vedabase.com

PROUD MOMENTS for INDIA:

Expressing my opinion & thoughts few days before...AUGUST 15th...INDIA's INDEPENDENCE day.

Can INDIA 🇮🇳 lead & unite the World 🌎?

Two year ago in August 2015  35,000 people from 125 nationalities & countries came to INDIA to celebrate ISKCON 50th year ( Srila Prabhupada's Journey to USA in 1965. He came at age 69 by Cargo ship not to search for wealth and the American dream like most immigrants, but to deliver the message of love of God. Started single handed movement......have transformed millions of people life from 125 nationalities throughout the Globe ). It is proud moments for INDIA to see all 125 nationalities with their national flag seating together in picture below leaded by INDIA......yes INDIA can lead & unite the world....through VEDIC PHILOSOPHY ( deepest spiritual treasure ). INDIA is the birthplace where many sacred ancient scriptures spoken & written since time immemorial.

They had parades together on August 15th-INDIA's INDEPENDENCE day in city of Kolkata with Harinam Sankirtan where 125 nationalities leaded by INDIAN national flag 🇮🇳 in front. All these devotees from different countries, nationalities , religion, costumes, habits, food, language , background, colour...etc came together now become ONE with one Vedic thought, one simple costume, one Sanatana ( means eternal ) Dharma, one simple vegetarian food, one simple lifestyle and one common goal to continue their progress on spiritual journey with concept of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is a Sanskrit word which means "the world is one family". 

Meanwhile ISKCON devotee representatives from 106 different countries broke the world record for a YOGA lesson together by the most nationalities, performing yoga postures padmasana (Lotus Position). Devotee representatives from 105 countries then set a new world record  by singing the prayer in Bengali language together.

India is country of Sages, Saints & Guru with profound spiritual wisdom & many enlightened Soul, country of Yoga & Meditation now desperately needed in every corner of the world to have peace & happiness in everyone's life. Genuine Guru, Saints & Sages have always been committed and invested their valuable time to cultivate Spiritual knowledge & Higher values to transform people life for good.

If we go back in history India had world biggest & oldest university where people from all over the world use to come for higher education especially spiritual wisdom. Nalanda ( and also Takshashila ) University was one of the first universities in the world, founded in the 5th Century BC. 

Yes VEDIC PHILOSOPHY can shape up the individual, family, society, nation.....and the GLOBE 🌎.

FAITH is EVERYTHING:

“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” — Thomas Aquinas

Faith is an essential element in life, just like an oxygen is needed for the body similarly faith needed for our survival & progress. Faith isn’t just a notion that some people hold onto in tough times but we need it in every day of our lives. We couldn’t drive our cars without faith, how could we fly in an airplane? Without faith, how can we marry and decide to stay together for a lifetime? How can we can go to car mechanics or physician's office without faith? Outcome of treatment of any disease also depends on physicians-patients faith on Divine. A leap of faith is the act of believing in or accepting something outside of the boundaries of reason.

Similarly without faith we can not progress on path of spiritual journey. Faith is the root of Devotion ( Bhakti ) as Lord Krishna says in Bhagavad Gita

Bg 9.3 — Those who are not faithful in this devotional service cannot attain Me, O conqueror of enemies. Therefore they return to the path of birth and death in this material world. ( Vedabase.com ).

Faith goes beyond the logic, reasoning, and explanations. One who is always suspicious can't lead a happy life either materially or spiritually, “For the doubting soul there is happiness neither in this world nor in the next (BG 4.40)." On path of spiritual journey our faith will be tasted in difficult times of life. When we experience life’s monumental failures, it’s easy to lose hope and faith in Divine (Absolute Truth) and start doubting his abilities, this is a time when our faith starts leaking out unless we have staunch faith in Scriptures & teaching of Spiritual master.

IS SUFFERING INEVITABLE?

Recently in Gujarat, India due to heavy rain & flooding many people & cattle died, many areas drowned & drenched , so much destruction...people have lost their loved one & their properties ...many tragic scenes. This kind of unthinkable tragic events continue in people's life throughout the Globe since time immemorial. IS SUFFERING INEVITABLE? 

Every life on Planet Earth wants to be happy & peaceful all the time. Unfortunately happy moments can not last for long time due to duality nature of the material world means everything rotates in cycle like.....Illness-Recovery, Obstacles-No obstacles, Birth-Death, Success-Failure, Victory-Defeat, Praise-Criticism, Winter-Summer, Monsoon-Drought, Happiness- Sorrowness....etc. People in general struggling or suffering from minor to major issue throughout the life. Everyone of us feels that happy moments are short lived and struggling or suffering moments last little longer ( in our mind ). All of us have some ability to resolve the matter but unfortunately many issues keep bothering us one after another....it is endless. Why we can not able to resolve all the issue permanently and live eternally happy & peaceful on Planet Earth ? Let's look into this matter. 

In Vedic Scriptures synonym for an University is called Vidyalayam means educational institute to get a abundance of knowledge.  Library is known as Grandhalayam means place where you find unlimited numbers of books of Knowledge. Similarly an Earth Planet is described as a Dukhalayam means place where you get endless miseries and Mrityuloka means place where people born to die. In short an Earth Planet is place where people are born for innumerable struggle or suffer and die. 

Vedic Scriptures SB 10.14.58 says padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām:  There is struggle & danger at every steps in our life. How to live & face challenges in this world? Philosophy & Spiritual practices will give us new perspective, understanding, strength, brighter outlook, purpose to live, a new look toward human life as a precious gift, reward, an honour......etc rather then sorrow, misery, punishment or chaotic life....etc.

If we observe this world carefully then realize that every problems of life surrounded by Birth-Death cycle. Once we realize that we are eternal Soul not a Body, WE & OUR LOVED ONE ALWAYS LIVE somewhere in some form with someone, we should don't be fearful and disturbed by changes surrounding us.

Bg 2.13 — As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.

Bg 2.14 — O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

Bg 15.7 — The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.

Bg 18.58 — If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost.
