Rajlaxmi, 24, did her Majors in Finance in Kolkata and that is when she questioned herself as to why she was doing what she was doing. That reflection brought awareness and she changed track without any ado moving into the vast space of Design by pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Design for Visual Communication from London College of Communication, London, followed by Masters of Professional Studies in Communication Design (with a concentration in Digital Product Design) Parsons School of Design, New York. In this journey, her college project, “One Mindful Mind” went on to receive more than 15 highly prestigious international awards including two Cannes Lions. Listen to this podcast for Rajlaxmi’s journey and the magic woven by “One Mindful Mind” on children and parents alike.
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.
