Suffering is common across the world! Few teachings help you cope better! You can thrive too..take responsibility (Karma) seriously

Recently, I attended a workshop done by an organization called Tvame (New tab (tvame.me))

They have designed a weekend course that runs for 4 weeks ...Details are available on their website. (New tab (tvame.me))

In this program, every participant gets enough time during the course as well as in follow up 1-1 meetings with Tvame instructors, every week , post session, where they address key questions, concerns, worries of the participants with respect to what they learnt in the previous weekend session. These sessions are immensely helpful... plays crucial role in success of this program..

Begin within is the what is the call to action for this course and it helps us look within and understand why we are what we are all physical, emotional, social. etc. levels that we are and why we struggle with life events so much. Is this because, we don't have idea about who we are as lives (born on earth), other than  genetics and other codes that determine and affect our self (body, emotions and instincts), there is a past life/lives karma and connections of all those past lives (punya and paap karma) that manifest in present life. 

While this course doesn't do a Akashik records /past life/lives reading , it helps us INTROSPECT and take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for what happened to us in lives (Brian Tracy said, 90% life outcomes are result of what we do to ourselves than others to do us) .

Stoics , particularly Marcus Aurelius  said, see quote below- The source is within us...made of genetics and sanchit karma that manifests as Prarabdha karma and we keep creating Agami karma (Om Swami on 4 kinds of Karma) as this course of Tvame will tell you. And put together the story of these 3 different karmas which create this vicious or holy cycle of life is called KARMA YOGA. <<< Watch this video for quick yet powerful understanding of different forms of Karma! 


Anthropologists, Psychologists and Philosophers have contributed to the research and literature on Karma and vicious cycle of life , suffering and death that a human soul undergoes. In fact, personally, I believe what Buddha said, common theme of life is "DUKKHA". Tvame's course can trigger your interest in Buddhism, Sanatana and even Stoicism...all finally reach the same truth, though quite scientifically. 


Renowned Psychologist (a medical doctor) Carl Jung - Wikipedia was the first in his field to pay serious attention to the East, drawing deeply from theories of karma and reincarnation for the development of his influential works on psychiatry and religion. Just how deeply Jung drew has been a hidden subject, until recently.

To explore more of what Jung found on the subject of Karma and reincarnation, read this MUST READ article. This is an eye opener perspective from a Western Psychologist. 



You may like to check courses currently on offer from Tvame on their website tvame.me 

I recommend you attend this course, if you have a feeling you are suffering and don't know WHY?

Some answers you get here and that's a beautiful beginning.

My takes on my learning from this program is here in this short video. 

PS: My underlying emotions today are , being somber and being hopelessness! I am living it, since I heard this morning about one of my fellow participant's to Tvame's workshop, lost her only child, a 9 year old boy to the cruel Dengue and followed heart failure. This single mother's pain is bigger than any Dukkha that one can imagine! Any condolence is meaningless and empty at this time..

If there is God anywhere, he must be hiding! He has no answer...He can't be this cruel! May this child rest in peace! More and more power to the mother to endure this "suffering"! 

Why Krishna didn't save Abhimanyu?  Maybe this Medium article has the answer to this tough question..

What is The Hay Group Total Reward Framework

The Hay Group Total Reward Framework A new way of understanding reward Reward strategies must be anchored in business reality to be effective. Which means linking it to your business strategy – and the needs of your employees as well as your organisation. Our Total Reward Framework helps you optimise reward, no matter how challenging the conditions. The issue Remuneration tends to be one of the worst-managed parts of an organisation’s cost structure. But with 10-70 per cent of total costs wrapped up in it, reward cannot be ignored, particularly in a downturn. To be effective, reward programmes must reflect the needs of the business, now and in the future. Only if they are tied closely to company strategy, business performance and the needs of employees can reward programmes deliver the ROI that is needed in tough times[MK1] . The Hay Group Total Reward Framework takes strategy as a starting point – and it focuses on total reward: every financial measure together with no...

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework

Aon Hewitt Total Rewards Framework The Aon Hewitt model and approach believes in considering Total Rewards as a business tool and very much linked to overall business objectives! Reward as understood is a very complex mechanism and some efforts of correcting the base pay and titling in a hurry by many MNCs in India have done a bigger crime by trying to correct it by market adjustments without looking at the talent map, complexity and expectations out of role and mapping it against the benchmark. Titles in India are a big misnomer and hardly any survey on compensation ever probes and captures and calibrates the tangible outcome based bench marking! If we dive deep, we will find that the key factors of Education, Experience and Quality of Education, Quality and relevance of experience and education are not calculated granular! A diploma holder technical manager gets the salary benchmarked for the top T-school manager with top quality experience in a challenging and break-through...

Why Organizations are so BAD at Talent Management? A curious case below..

Founded in 2019 in South San Francisco,   ProcDNA has grown 2x in 24 months....from 100 to 200 as of Feb 25th as you see the snapshot below. I was looking at their India staff data looking actively for jobs as evident on Naukri.com, a leading job portal in India. For past 30 days, 39 staff in India looking out actively. If you check for past 2 months, this number inflates to 49. Median tenure of staff here is 8 months.  What interests me are the following: 27 jobs posted on LinkedIn and 9 out of them are just repetitions. Same job posted many times (5x at times).  There is only 1 Director level job is up there as far as senior open roles are concerned. Many jobs have titles like Senior/Associate/Assistant Engagement Lead, etc.  Below are 4 senior staff in key roles who are active on Naukri.com , looking for next job.  What's wrong here? Nothing....they are just looking out...:) ....But that's a self fulfilling thought, right, especially when you are the co...
