Last podcast in the series "The Monk and the Businessman"

Hari om from our sweltering little corner of India. The mercury is already hitting 47 degrees Celsius in Delhi, but the promise of the refreshing monsoon rains next month keeps us going...

Today is the last podcast of The Monk and the Businessman series, concluding with the fourth installment on empowerment from a spiritual perspective. This week we discuss the metaphorical meaning of Moses' transformation from exiled shepherd to prophet. The new leader's role and vision. From stockholders to stakeholders. New directions and new questions. Business as one of the tools to manifest the kingdom of God.

In our next series of podcast from the Storytelling Monk we will return to our beloved Wisdom Tales from around the world.

Happy listening!
God bless you all.

Matri Chhaya opens its doors... and new podcast installment

Hari om from Haridwar again!
Here our little orphanage is gradually getting in gear.
We now have four children staying with us full-time (and expecting seven more this month): Vidya (3), Vivek (8), Arshid (10), and Aman (12). Vidya means "Knowledge", Vivek "Discrimination", Arshid "Love", and Aman "Peace".
We also have one old lady staying with us: Santosh ("Contentment").
Our other residents include three dogs (Jackie, Jimmy and Chris), one horse called Chetak (which means "horse"--how original!), one cow called Kapila (name of a great sage). We also receive the visit of many wild peacocks, squirrels, monkeys, and the occasional elephants.
And maybe one day we will have the joy of receiving your visit? You are always welcome!

We continue here our ongoing The Monk and the Businessman series with a third installment on empowerment from a spiritual perspective. This week we draw some analogies between religious and corporate structures: their rise and fall and transformation; the training and testing of leaders; how King Janaka tested his disciple Shakti.

Happy listening!
God bless you all.
