Know how to achieve success through Yoga

Friends!


While at the engineering college, I believed in Bhagavad Gita, where it states, 'Yoga is the skill to achieve success'. I achieved the first position in the university and was also selected for All India Service for Engineers. I worked in India, Nepal and Zambia as a construction engineer, structural designer, project manager, valuer and a trainer. 

Attitude is the way a person thinks and behaves. Yoga Sutra by Patanjali states, ‘Repetitive thinking and doing develop a person’s memory and attitude. These in turn, give rise to similar thought and action.’  For success, thoughts have to be restrained and replaced by better thoughts. Yoga is achieved in three stages: Team-building through empathy (Yama), 'Rules of conduct' (Niyama) to develop synergy of the mind and the body  and development of intuitive true knowledge through concentration of mind (Samyama). Rules of conduct’ in the profession develop  intelligence (high I.Q). Empathy develops  emotional control (high E.Q). I applied the eight-component (Astanga) Yoga as the 'concern for others (Yama) - concern for self (Niyama) - concern for task (Samyama)’ model of Yoga for success. I grew up to become Additional Director General in Government of India. My children are well placed in life. 

Kriya Yoga is self-discipline (Tapa) professional study and practice (Swadhyay) and excellence through dedication to the ideal (Iswar Pranidhan). Matching the egos of with the predominant motive suggests how to modify egos and develop the ability for success through Kriya Yoga. Matching the motives and egos of the members in a team suggests how cooperation can be developed through empathy.

I have trained hundreds of graduates and executives through workshops. My book on 'Attitude for Success' is a manual. It is based on Yoga for success. Additional information is available on www.buildbestvalue.com.
