Rite Thinker Awareness Session #12 - From India to Individual
The follow up class this time was an Independance day special. It was very stimulating to the intellect. Actually it began with the intellect and ended with the heart thus making it uniquely powerful.
We started out studying the essence of Indian civilizations. Going back thousands of years before to the vedic times, we studied the principle…
Macrocosm in the Microcosm and Microcosm in the Macrocosm
It was very informative. As kirtanya put it, if we have to have access to these knowledge by our own research then we should have read a thousand books before we consolidated this knowledge. After this we proceeded to studying this magnificient civilization from the perspective of Arnold Toynbee, the great historian of world civilizations; the challenges faced and the unique extraordinary response given by this civilization each time it met with a threat. Those responses in turn shaped up a dynamic living civilization. From the civilization we percolated down to the organizations, individuals and nations and how the same principle of challenge and response operated in every group. We questioned our responses to current challenges in business and personal life and upgraded each of these responses to architect a great self for ourselves.
After all, life is not about finding ourself, life is about creating ourself!

Fantastic session!!! I am amazed with the way, how Keertanya handled the session. A wonderful flow was there in the subject. A great migration from INDIA to INDIVIDUAL was done in a very smooth way with no one knowing about it. Hats off to her!!!
For the first time I see people more attentive for historical concepts ….. If our history geography teachers were like her most of them would have this subject as their favorite subject.
