Harmony at Work Interview on Bloomberg-UTV

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

On Thursday, 3 December, Dharmaraj appeared on Rashmi Bansal’s TV programme “Stay Hungry: Cracking Careers with Rashmi”. The show airs on business channel Bloomberg UTV.

Here is the video. The following is transcript of the unabridged interview. It has been edited slightly for clarity.

Hi Dharmaraj. First of all, what is ‘Harmony at Work’? What is this program all about?

Hi Rashmi. Thank you for having me here with you. Harmony at Work offers stress management, personal productivity, and leadership training for corporates. We take our hats off to all you corporates because the pace is grueling and we’re running at top speed just trying to keep up with you.

We base our offerings on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, who wrote Autobiography of a Yogi. His teachings have been applied to daily life by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. One course that Kriyananda wrote is called Success and Happiness through Yoga Principles—that’s our training manual.

Success, happiness, and harmony are things that everybody wants. There are so many powerful techniques that we can practice to achieve these. (more…)

The Brain—Engineered for Higher Awareness

by Peter van Houten, M.D.

Dr. van Houten serves as Medical Director of the Sierra Family Medical Clinic and is a longtime resident of Ananda Village. This article was originally published in Ananda’s Clarity Online Magazine.

In the early 1980’s, I attended a revolutionary conference for scientists who specialize in the brain and nervous system called, “The Ever-changing Brain.” New information was being discovered about the nature of our brain and central nervous system that corroborated strongly with what the ancient spiritual traditions of yoga said about the brain’s ability to change. According to the old scientific model in the West the brain didn’t change much during a person’s lifetime. The brain developed through childhood and adolescence and somewhere around age twenty, it was thought, our brain cells began to die off without being replaced. After that, it was a race to see how many brain cells you would lose before you died! It was pretty grim. (more…)

From Rashmi Bansal, author Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish, and Founder/Editor, JAM Magazine:

I think the biggest issue I see with young people today is that they have taken this whole thing of “I’ll get into the right college” as the end of their ambition. They try very hard, and they struggle, and they get into the college of their dreams like an IIT or IIM or whatever. Or, on the other hand, they don’t get into the college of their dreams. Either way, they don’t see that that’s just the first point. That’s the steppingstone for their whole life. (more…)

Mercury Madness: Dealing with Negative Emotions

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

Today we know that mercury, that liquid metal, is dangerous to our health. But this was not always well-known. A whole generation grew up using mercury thermometers, and many children delighted in breaking open those glass tubes and playing with the silver ball inside. And why not? What happens to you if you play with mercury for too long?

My high school physics teacher, Al, answered this question. In the 1960’s Al had worked in an industrial laboratory. Many of his chemical applications required mercury, and he worked with it regularly for months. Although he was careful not to touch the metal directly, his lab room was not well-ventilated, and the mercury fumes began to affect him over time. (more…)
