Invoking Indic Wisdom - From Board Room to the Himalayas

An invigorating talk by Sri Anish exclusively for the founders, members and well-wishers of the national level NGO "Bharatiyam"

"We need to bring back India's glorious education system based on spiritual wisdom and once again become a Sone ki Chidiya.

Sri Anish ji in his discourse, spoke so eloquently about the Indic philosophy revolving around the protection of nature and a better living based on dharma. He took all the participants on the orbit of spirituality and patiently answered the various questions on issues like procrastination, time management, multi-tasking, truth, dharma, responsibility towards environment, winning over fear etc. The most important aspect of the interaction was his practical wisdom and his ability to relate to each individual in the audience. He didn’t sound like a spiritual guru but had all answers to the most complex questions which plague us. Being a 70’s kid who had a regular upbringing in west Delhi, everyone could relate to him due to his contemporary way of speaking and the kind of every-day examples he uses to put across his point. It is only when he starts dipping into his in-depth of Indic knowledge and his never-ending repertoire of small-short stories, one realizes that he is a torpedo under his skin. The way he speaks and puts across his point is quite refreshing and satisfying, showing no airs about himself. Unlike the stereotypical spiritual guru, Sri Anish is quite unassuming and easy in his approach and interaction. He is low noise and high performance in all departments of Indic philosophy and its dexterous delivery. It is a delight listening to him. He had the ability to convert anybody into a deep thinker.

He spoke passionately about the four purusharthas namely Dharma (righteousness), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha (liberation). That it is only in India, these four goals are perceived in the context of life. That most of the western civilization is based on Artha and Kama only. That differentiates India from the rest of the world. We in India add the dimensions of dharma as the foundation and moksha as the ultimate to complete the equation. That our Rishis had mastered nature and its laws and the solutions given by them in the fields of medicine, metallurgy, astronomy, mathematics etc., are the basis for each principle of modern-day science. That there is no difference between spirituality and science in the Indic philosophy and scheme of things. His easy attitude with practical wisdom was a great hit. He is a role model for the entire generation and the depth and wisdom he brings to any topic is unbelievable.

We in India add the dimensions of dharma as the foundation and moksha as the ultimate to complete the equation.

A Sangam of Sri Anish, Saadho Sangha Foundation & Bhartiyam

The important pointers / take away from his interaction and his message to Bharatiyam can be summed up as follows:

Experience the pure nothingness.


Understand the 4 Purusharthas / Pillars of Life: Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.


Dharma can be practiced by doing everything constructive in abundance and not doing anything with the right to title or expectation but with accountability and responsibility.


One cannot escape from one’s own lies.


India is the only country which has the wisdom to co-relate Earth & Human Body as one, which are both made up of 70% water and the rest also the other four Pancha Bhutas need to protect the same.

One can get rid of fear in all forms by accepting death (like Buddha would ask them to go and observe death closely in the sombre environs of a crematorium, before giving Deeksha to his disciplines.

One can handle procrastination by living in the present.


Most of our problems are because we take ourselves and things very seriously forgetting the laws of nature.


We need to bring back India's glorious education system based on spiritual wisdom and once again become a Sone ki Chidiya.
