The World Hindu Economic Forum

The economy of the 21st century is characterized by the internet of information, things, and value, and how youth quickly adapt to them. Knowing sufficiently well that the population of Hindu is more of youths, there is an innate ability held up within them waiting to be opened. The World Hindu Economic Forum stands today as a platform which will use this natural ability to set off the formation of new riches.

The recent decline in the economic growth of nations in the world has caused a lot of economic instability. The reactions to these difficulties are perplexing and should be not be tackled with the same traditional strategy rather solutions should evolve by thing out of the box. The world financial authority is just investigating and acting as indicated by normal intelligence -talking about efficiency and effectiveness. The undertakings intended for relative steadiness do not work in competitive situations. It involves a fresh and inventive reaction, which can drive the formation of surplus riches to safeguard the world economy from its present emergency. World Hindu Economic Forum’s available approach depends on the foundational intelligence in the Bhagavad Gita: “Think in future, for the future.”

Hunger, destitution, and absence of education are the current fundamental issues of the world. These problems cannot be disentangled just by gifts and philanthropy. A developing populace has developing wants, and these can be defeated only by making extra riches and distributing this riches to enhance the wellbeing of people in this world, that is, those at the base of the pyramid. World Hindu Economic Forum is that move towards making “That, which sustains” and annihilating starvation, destitution, and lack of education.

The World Hindu Economic Forum sail is said to have started in 2012 at Hong Kong, trailed by productive yearly discussions in Bangkok 2013, New Delhi 2014, London 2015, and a few local gatherings en route.

The USA is known to be the head monetary power on the planet. It is propelled by the soul of the business enterprise, and it leads the world into streams of income and mechanical advancement. There are various open doors for development from every side of this immense country. Los Angeles is also the third-biggest commercial urbanized zone on the planet. It is a common center point for global exchange, production, innovation, excitement, and design. The environment is very suitable for hosting fantastic scene for a financial forum.

Speech by Tulsi Gabbard at the WHEF

Tulsi Gabbard was able to avail her presence at the World Hindu Economic Forum where she spoke on “Finding Happiness and Success Through Karma Yoga” She also said Mahatma Gandhi had shown us that, an ideal approach to discover yourself is to free yourself from the control of other persons. According to her, “I believe that we cannot overcome the divisive challenges facing our communities, countries, and the world if we do not recognize and respect all others as children of God, despite our differences of nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, and so forth.”

The first youngest United States Representative who comes from Hawaii clarified the more profoundly the importance of Aloha. Aloha is an excellent Hawaiian word regularly used to make proper acquaintance and farewell. Welcome anybody by the word ‘Aloha’ means you are saying, ‘I am coming to you with a free mind and adoration.’ She said, “It is recognition of our interconnectedness, which we are all eternal souls and part of one family. This spirit of Aloha is important at a time when we see such divisiveness, bigotry, fear and persecution around the world.”

Tulsi went ahead to further her discussion by expanding on “servant-leadership” a theme that she talks about in major conferences that she has been. The topic has become her favorite. In her speech, she said “For you, as executives and renowned businessmen and women, and for me as a person in political life, it is especially important to make sure that we never forget that we are servants of God and the people, not the master. Sometimes when people get into positions of power, they forget who they are. But if every day you remember God and remember your relationship with Him, that you’re His servant and not the master, then you won’t get swept away by the trappings of power. This is the attitude of a karma yoga practitioner:  I live to serve—not be served.”

The Discussion of Guru Swami Vigyananand at WHEF

Master Swami Vigyananand talked about undoing the many clichés identified with the development of riches and the function of riches in Hindu dharma. According to his words, “We must break free from the shackles of individual brilliantness and graduate to collective success.”

He went ahead to discuss the effort of World Hindu Economic Forum in making a biological system to enable Hindu establishment to thrive in the neighborhood and all around the world by campaigning for a business interacting medium. He also shed more light on the World Hindu Economic Forum’s approach depends on the foundational intelligence in the Bhagavad Gita.

What is the True Cost of
War?

There is something very odd happening in the world everyday. Instead of heading towards tolerance and peace, some prefer to use violence, crimes, and even start a war, to get what they want. Throughout history, we hear about wars that earned our independence as a nation, about wars that gave us freedom, and so on. Many stories raise a war and the sacrifice of people to the level of necessity, using words like bravery, self-sacrifice, and courage to mask the atrocities and sufferance that lies behind all wars. These stories also mention heroes, to take our attention on the things that really count when it comes to a war, and that is the real cost. Continue reading What is the True Cost of War? →

Empty

I have spent the last six months trying to fill myself up with so much enjoyment, so many experiences only to find myself back at home feeling completely unfulfilled. I guess in reality I have spent my whole 22 years of life doing that, but these last 6 months were the crux of it. I wanted. Wait. I needed something new, something to blow my mind so that I could feel that all my endeavors so far had not been in vain. You see I have had a good life so far according to the western definition of a good life. I have had the education, the nice family, the upper middle class upbringing. I have money and graduated with a pathway into a successful career as an accountant. Practical right. Yes. I was raised on practical with a mum as a bank manager and a dad as a solicitor. Practicality runs in our veins.

So I had just graduated and was due to start my career a month later. I say career, but it is more than that isn’t it? I was due to start my steps down the path to adulthood with the intention of success. Yes, the path of wealth, family, white picket fence. Nice car, something a little sleek.

Earth Day: A Reminder for
us to care for our Planet

There is no question that our planet provides all the resources we need in order to be able to exist, but we have been neglecting planet earth because we have been too busy inventing things and building structures. The importance and the significance of earth day revolve around the environment and how we interact with it.

Every now and then, the planet will let us know just how small we are and it will show us the power that natural events can do. We call them natural disasters, but they are actually part of the natural cycle of changes that the planet goes through. We are inhabitants of a planet that is in constant shift and nature is wise beyond our understanding. Continue reading Earth Day: A Reminder for us to care for our Planet →

Longing For Home

Everyone is looking for a home. Everyone wants somewhere to go that when they arrive at the front door they feel they are welcome. It may be the swinging flap of a Bedouin tent or the gilded marble walkway to the door of a Beverley Hills mansion. It makes no difference to the dweller. As they step up to the threshold of the place where they live they know they are home.

At the end of 2014 there were 19.5 million refugees worldwide. The people who have been recently forcibly displaced due to conflict or persecution in the world is 13.9 million.  (a)  So, we have all these people who are all moving enmasse across the globe, all moving towards what they believe will be a better place than the one they have come from. And who can blame them? The experiences of war are something no-one in a lifetime should ever have to endure.

Groove to Bliss for a Better Future!

Music is in every culture of the world; from the djembe drum circles in Africa, to the percussion street-bands in Brazil, Irish folk songs in the pubs, British rock gigs at the local clubs, buskers in the streets of New York, and the orchestras of cities throughout the globe. There are a million other examples of how it’s such a big part of everyone’s life in different ways, and how it accompanies each one of us through different stages.

Everyone likes to “get down” (dance) to their favorite jam, or blast their vocal chords singing a “blues”. Basically, pretty much everyone, loves music. Whether they’re playing it, dancing it, singing it, or simply letting the ears do the work; it’s a way to relax and put things aside, let go of emotions, forget problems, get motivated to do things, and the list goes on. But, music as we know can become redundant and dull over time. Continue reading Groove to Bliss for a Better Future! →

Local Food Movement &
Harnessing Green Power

Local. Organic. Free Range. Natural. It is easy to get lost in all of the labels of our food today. What is healthier? What is best for you and your family? What is best for all of us? The local food movement has gained traction recently, but what exactly is eating “local,” and why should we do it?

In the past century, the food we consume has come from farther and farther away. Sometimes, the foods that we consume are not even food, rather preservatives, additives, and others manufactured into a food product. The local-food movement looks to change how we eat. Local food is that food grown by farmers that serve community distributors and retailers.

Service In The Spirit of Bhagavad Gita by Bhagavan Sri Krishna, Spiritual Master or Guru of Arjuna

What do 64 year old Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India and Tulsi Gabbard, 33 year old Congresswoman from Hawaii have in common? As it turns out, quite a lot, actually. Tulsi Gabbard, the first American/Hindu member of congress, and Modi, India’s powerhouse political leader both lead a life of public service inspired by the teachings of Bhagavan Sri Krishna, the guru or spiritual master of Arjuna, in The Bhagavad Gita.

Tulsi Gabbard, an Iraq war veteran who took her oath of office with her hand on the Bhagavad Gita, credits the message of the Gita with her approach to public service and as “a source of courage and comfort”.  At their recent meeting in New York, in a thoughtful and personal gesture, Tulsi gifted her own spiritual scripture the Bhagavad Gita to the Indian Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Mr Modi regularly presents the Bhagavad Gita to public figures and world leaders including the Emperor of Japan and President Obama of the United States. According to Mr Modi, “I have nothing more valuable to give and the world has nothing more valuable to get.”

Indeed, the Bhagavad Gita has been a rich source of inspiration not only to public leaders but to humanitarians, saints, gurus and spiritual masters, scientists and philosophers for millennia.  In the Bhagavad Gita, Bhagavan Sri Krishna becomes the guru or spiritual master to the inquiring student and warrior prince, Arjuna. Sri Krishna teaches a universal message of selfless service and the interconnectedness of all beings. Spoken around 5000 years ago on the eve of a great war, the teachings still seem incredibly relevant to us in modern times.
