PHILOSOPHY BEHIND CALMSAEKAAM
CALMNESS + WORK = CALMSAEKAAM
Calmess in today’s day and age can no longer be underestimated or overlooked. It is not just a virtue, but the bedrock for personal and societal metamorphosis. Work or Kaam as it is known in Hindi, when done from the firm foundations of calmess, can enrich and enhance your life by leaps and bounds. One can be multi-talented or super-intelligent but more often than not, it is these high value individuals that fall prey to mental chaos. Calmness is not just a destination, but a journey and a never-ending prize in itself. Once you get a taste of it, the old chaotic ways of the mind cease to exist. My constant endeavour is to show people the best way to utilize calmness to improve their lives.
