Anshul Vohra, 26, is the Founder of Newsline, India’s most consumable form of news, professionally curated, unbiased, relevant, byte sized 1/2 minute videos. And the singular thought behind this has been – if entertainment has moved to videos then why not news. This conversation also shows yet again that when individuals are not conditioned with limiting factors, they can deliver breakthrough ideas.
There were three factors which stood out for me in this conversation – First is that the 80%+ of the team members in Newsline, including Anshul, have full time day jobs. Their contribution to Newsline is an initiative fuelled by their passion. The second is the team is very youthful and it is heartening to see that they have found News as an avenue to share their creativity and thirdly the culture of commitment, togetherness and purpose, which they create at Newsline is what sets them apart. Check out this conversation for learning more.
Small Big Wins started in middle of 2020. The primary objective has been to talk to people who are not so famous or known but have done exceptional work. Most of these conversations are with people who have done some real solid social good, while also holding up their selflessness. Their wins in their own words. You be the judge, whether Small or Big.
Coming to my latest conversations with Swami Atmananda Saraswati ji, I would first share in a few words my own journey of searching the higher. This started somewhere in 2012, from reading, listening to Osho, then spending months at Isha Foundation Ashram doing everything in the book there, listening to some globally “famous” masters, I ended up at home. Home meaning our own timeless Indian scriptures – Bhagwad Gita, RamCharit Manas, Upanishads, which reveal that, where only a few blessed revel. I learnt about Adi Shankaracharya and his contribution to Sanatan Dharma. Hearing discourses from different masters, once I came across a discourse on “Atma Bodha” by Swami Atmanada Saraswati. When I tried to google him, I could not find anything. Somehow deep down the searches, I found some co-ordinates to reach him. This resulted in increased interactions and my knowledge seeking got a definite direction. If at all, these conversations would be valuable and known, it would be for Swami Atmananda Saraswati.
It is my great fortune to bring “Who is My Charioteer” to the audiences. For someone Small like me this is a Big win! The Part 1 of this series is titled “Fundamental Understanding about Life”. You will find these conversations starting Episode 59. Just search for “Who is My Charioteer” in the title.
