Discovering our Roots

Saturday lecture series with

Shatavadhani Dr R Ganesh

Challenges for the Global Indian - What it means to be a True Indian in Changing Times

The main idea is to help us know about ourselves better and understand the Indian identity. Depending on the interest and moods of the audience at large, Dr. Ganesh can cover any topic, any time and for any length! Some of the sub topics that will be covered are:

Professional India: Economy, Politics, Education, Leadership, Teamwork, Ethics and Morals as conveyed by our value system and role models of yore.

Compassionate India: What is Service? The need, approach and the results - social capital.

Philosophical India: Who am I? Why are we here? Is there a meaning to life? Journey to the core of all things, of all times. Universal life style that integrates everything and avoids 'ism's.

Cultural India: We are civilized, but are we cultured enough? History and mystery.

Multi-lingual India: Isn't English sufficient for money and moksha and all in between? J

Artistic India: Introduction and tips on how to understand and enjoy Indian art forms.

Literary India: Classics and epics. Understanding the depth and the nuanced message.

Also:

Am I a true Indian to take my rightful place in the world citizenry (Vasudhaiva kutumbakam)?

Guidelines - which book to read and which expert to consult - for making further progress.
