Small Big Wins - Convo with Ramji Raghavan
Dear Listeners & Learners,
It was a huge privilege to talk to Ramji Raghavan, Founder & Chairman of Agastya Foundation (Impact so far is 15 million children and a quarter million teachers) which operates close to 300 mobile labs, 75 science centres and 600 Operation Vasantha (working to bring school dropouts back into mainstream academic programs) centres in India to to spark curiosity, nurture creativity and instil confidence in economically disadvantaged children and government school teachers. Their crown jewel is the 172 acre lush green creativity campus in Kuppam near Bangalore.
In this convo, Ramji talks about cauldron of competition in which he was caught up as an investment banker and the crunch time he witnessed to pick up a higher cause in life, his dual existence which swayed him between the mind and the intellect, how easily and deceptively we get caught up in words and how consciousness is not about cause & effect and how J. Krishnamurti and the Rishi Valley School helped him shape his thinking.
This is a convo to enrich your thoughts and convey yet once more that when you take the leap towards good, good does follow you.
Join me in spreading the flame of courage and conviction.
All podcasts are also available on Small Big Wins YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ErIo1uxDVA).
I will drop you a short message tomorrow on the ESG video for the week.
