HUMAN VALUES FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESS
(1-5 December, 2007)

1] Spirituality in Work place:
We all have to do work. As workers we are not just hands and heads. We also have emotions, aspirations and spiritual needs. How to inspire the total person and make work an enjoyable experience is the challenge that Swami Bodhananda addresses in this talk.

2] Ethics in Relationship:
Humans are social animals. It is in interactive relationships that we discover and develop our potentialities. Ethics is the pursuit of goodness and goodness is thinking and working for the wellbeing of others or including the other in our pursuit for happiness. Ethical sensitivity is the feeling of empathy for ones neighbours. This talk will focus on salient values that will nurture and sustain abiding relationships.

3] Managing Complex Problems of Life:
Life is a complex phenomenon. Experince of life ranges from consciousness to memories, emotions, aspirations, emaginations, hormonal rushes, brain processes, social functions, environmental harmony and spiritual unfoldment. You cannot distil and separate life from any of these factors. Life also involves personal, family, work related, economic and social challenges. This talk will provide with some life management tools - wisdom capsules and attitudinal tonics - that help manange complexities of living.

4] Leadership and Challenge of Change:
Change is the single most determining factor in modern life. Everything else changes but change itself. Human brain and response systems are not trained to manage fast changes in living conditions. Culture shock, feeling of rootlessness, stress and the resultant illnesses are the outcome of inability to cope with fast change. What are the qualities of leadership required to anticipate, initiate and lead change in organizations and individual lives are the subject matter of this presentation.

5] Health, Environment and God:
Health and environment are intricately and intimately related to the concept and experience of God. Modern physics, life sciences, medical research, vedanta, and new age spirituality are increasingly converging on a concept of underlying Oneness or Wholeness or God, that Existence is a network and that God is experienced as individual, communal and environmental Health. In his talk Swami Bodhananda introduces a holistic and individualistic concept of God, Health and Environment.
