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…)
Knowledge, Inspiration, and Energy (Part 1)
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009Listen: Download Audio MP3 (5 MB).
(Excerpted from Swami Kriyananda’s Knowledge, Inspiration, and Energy, Lesson 3 of Success and Happiness through Yoga Principles)
For those who want to follow well-worn paths, familiarity with what has been done before is important. This is the path of tradition, which to a great extent means a path of imitation. To follow this path, one needs knowledge, but doesn’t particularly need inspiration or energy. For success in any tradition, one needs the necessary education taught by people competent to instruct others in the basic “rules of the game.”
I remember the organist at the church where my mother’s funeral was held. The purpose of the ceremony was to comfort the bereaved and to send blessings to the departed. The organist’s job was simply to play a piece of music for the event. What I asked her to play was a composition of my own. She was graceless enough to tell me that she wouldn’t play it because, as she pointed out firmly, “This melody doesn’t end on the tonic note.” In fact she was right according to the “rules of the game.” Had she played the piece first, however, and listened with her heart, she would have seen that, in this case, she was wrong.

The Brain—Engineered for Higher Awareness
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009
Dr. van Houten
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…)
Reevaluating The Bottom Line
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009Listen: Download Audio MP3 (2 MB). This post is Part 1. See also Part 2.
(Excerpted from Swami Kriyananda’s First Things First, Lesson 6 of Success and Happiness through Yoga Principles)
There is an expression in America today: “the bottom line.” I don’t know if this expression is used in England or in other countries where, as in India, English is widely spoken. Usually the expression refers to monetary profit. By extension, it also indicates something of fundamental importance to an undertaking. Because profit is so often people’s concern, unless they make it clear that they mean something different it is generally understood that they are talking about money.
Let me clarify what I mean, then, in naming this lesson as I have. For this course of lessons serves a dual purpose, and may be said, in this sense, to have two “bottom lines.” First, it accepts the common equation of material success with monetary profit. It also attempts to show, however, that monetary profit, without corresponding inner satisfaction, is a hollow victory. As the Bible puts it, “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, but lose his own soul?” (more…)

Not Enough Time?
Friday, July 17th, 2009
We often feel that there is not enough time for us to finish everything—or anything! In this article Swami Kriyananda touches on a new way to view time. He then offers tips on how to achieve calmness—and get your work done—when under intense time pressure.
Time is, of course, essential to our perception of the things of this world. Nevertheless, great yogis have all described time as a delusion. It certainly seems real, however, to all of us. Time is even logically sequential: we see past becoming present, and present reaching out to become the future.
