Sri Raj Bhowmik's Essence @ Schneider Electric
on International Women's Day 2012
51 women employees, smiling, happy and feeling good about themselves, embraced Sri Raj Bhowmik’s exclusive CORPORitual Life Message, on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
Words that originally described themselves through the eyes of others or what they think about themselves now took shape through its first step. Me meeting Myself through the CORPORitual Heal Your Living Session on March 8th .
Schneider Electric has been in Existence for the last 174 years – like a strong banyan tree now spreading its roots to grow to newer areas, more people are joining in. With about 10000 people in Bangalore alone, a working office with smiling people along the corridors, the walls being utilized speaking volumes about the Energy Sustainability aspect of the company Schneider Electric ran this unique diversity initiative week exclusively for women.
This unique HR Initiative from the Schneider EPIB location in Bangalore that looks at IT was to add value to the women population in the company to aid their physical, corporate and emotional wellbeing. In this series CORPORitual added value to give an overview wholistic perspective about Living Life that is doable and practical encompassing the employees 100% wheel including their emotional health, impact on self, family, organization and community.
Initially, the room saw women dressed in traditional attire, happy, chirpy and smart. Quick answers about the Essence of a woman was to understand self respect, laughing, funny, forgiving and almost 100% answers were focused on their responses in their environments based on what others think.
The mood of the workshop became more lighter as women defined themselves with an adjective. And then was the climax of understanding how we perceive Life through a picture storyboard. How this storyboard is enhanced with the similar feeling situations building our beliefs and how we get programmed like robots to deliver these behaviors as if they are us and true us and still helplessly, women have been potrayed as a strong overpowering, multitasking…and more and more descriptions. After all, isn’t everyone human?
What we understood as a group is that the hormones flowing through the body makes us women and men. However we are basically human. Yes, in this human behavior we as women bring very different qualities than men like compassion and connectedness in a very wholesome way even in organizations. How many of us are even aware of it? In the corporate world largely governed by men, women population tend to become men-like. Why are we losing our originality of who we are and what our hormones are originally programmed for.
Sri Raj Bhowmik’s CORPORitual Message through the film had tears in many eyes and also an intense reflective session connecting Me to Myself. Through this, shoulders relaxed, perfect body postures became more comfortable and one allowed oneself to experience. A group bonding of looking at one’s own body as a woman at vulnerable and empowering moments was experienced. In all, it brought a realistic picture of oneself in a very compassionate environment. That’s what Soulbath Peace Foundation’s work is all about !!
When the 4 CORPORitual Values are lived in life, then one is empowered to drop all the masks and look at a situation as it is. Women in their lives are multitasking and human interactions play a very important role. Women play key roles in molding children and hence when a mother makes CORPORitual Values Of Living in her daily living, she is connected to the community and is contributing to it with a boundary and creating hope. When she lives her dreams, children learn to live their dreams supported by her. As women from Schneider held hands together towards harmonization, opening of the body to each other without threat/ masks/ judgements and just flowing with the moment, it was wonderful to see and hear what everybody felt that was similar in all – it was the Being Human aspect of living and contributing.
“Unfathomable awareness about your deeper true self, your life’s goal, your unique ability and your highest potential can be revealed, only if you are able to look deep inside yourself." - Sri Raj Bhowmik
Schneider Electric made every woman feel special in their subtle ways of reminding her to be herself through roses, chocolates that are from the gift space and giving them a Big gift of Living Life through the CORPORitual Values Of Living from Soulbath Peace Foundation. Following these principles is like opening the door to living harmoniously and CORPORitual is the key. Schneider Electric gave a chocolate key to being you but also in reality through CORPORitual.
If one can help somebody pause and Live Life, it is like teaching them how to fish. Because this human resource is globally impacting larges surfaces and quality that any others in the human evolution. It is the women through her birthing a baby, developing a human being, grooming herself, working in a family and an organization and contributing to the world. She just merely needs to become comfortable with who she is & contribute meaningfully to her environment in a way that is compassionate and the need of the moment fully. This is Sri Raj Bhowmik’s biggest Gift to Women on International Women’s Day !! The Formula to “Being Yourself” by living the CORPORitual Values Of Living.

Dear Raj,
The adjective I wrote first was ‘laughing’ and after taking time to talk to myself my new word is ‘strong’. I believe I am at the point where I want to find what I really love, my calling. The Soulbath Workshop has given me the strength to find that and to love myself 200% in the process.

Thank You, Prachi
Dear Raj,
It was a good feeling to know myself free from all the world expectations free from self expectations, free from trying to be someone else, free from all the worldly things, just to be myself and try to be happy the way “I Am”.
Thank You

Dear Raj,
Initially I was not much involved but when I started feeling myself after giving sometime for me in Silence through experiencing the CORPORitual Values, then I felt what I am and I know I am the one I think in my mind. And now I go on confidently in my journey of life accepting the facts.
Thank You for a wonderful workshop.
Thanks , Gayatri
Dear Raj,
Thank You for the wonderful words that have come out through CORPORitual Values Of Living. I can feel myself. I can feel what I am and why I am here. I have a goal to achieve, the goal for which the God has sent me to this Earth to achieve. I have now developed the ability to talk to myself in silence and to calm myself down in life’s journey.
Thanking You,
Manasa.
Dear Raj,
Would like to share with you the experience I had during our session. In this short span of time I was brought to realize the ‘Person’ I am and how important I am as a person. I learnt to live in the moment and respect who I am than who people want me to be. I thank you and Soulbath Peace Foundation for the realization.
Kind Regards,
Samantha Simons.
Dear Raj,
The Soulbath Peace Foundation Workshop that I attended today had been like a self revelation for me. There have been many incidents in my life that always held me from opening up when I knew I could take that step. But now I know that I am also human being and I should let it go that life is about everything that comes in as learning experience and not just ‘my mistakes’. With the hope in my heart and strength to move on, with greater love…
Thanks a lot,
Madhu
Dear Raj,
It had been a wonderful experience to attend this CORPORitual Values Of Living session. I feel a new me today. I am finding difficult to get words to express my feeling. Before coming to the session I honestly felt there is no need to attend the session as I think I know myself more than anyone else. But I was wrong. I was holding myself up from many things, bottling up all anger but now I feel I can move ahead and forgive all and myself. Thank You and the SPF team so much.
Best Regards
Soma
Hi Raj,
I am feeling really really good by showing who I am and what I am. More understanding in me. Thanks for your time. CORPORitual Workshop was a great experience.
Thanking You,
Shilpa.
Dear Raj,
I don’t have words how I felt after seeing your video and lot of thoughts passed my mind. After she explained about life and living, I feel that I got the reality of life and value what I should give it. When I closed my eyes, I started crying and tears down my cheek. I got what I am and what I should be. It’s a great feeling since I got to learn what mistakes I was doing. From now onwards I will try to be me and be more self less, compassionate, mature, responsible, soft. Thanks for the CORPORitual Values Of Living session. I really liked it.

It’s a whole new and different experience. It has given me a dimension to my thinking and feeling about myself. It just makes me feel more appreciative of myself and so much more to reaffirm on my strength and my ability to do so many things in a better way. Thanking you for this new experience and a new way of thinking through CORPORitual.

Thanks, S Joshi
Dear Raj,
Thank You for such a great organization such as Soulbath Peace Foundation doing tremendous work with people. Today I am a new person who knows, accepts and loves myself. I have never given myself a chance and today is when a transformation has taken place. I value Me more and others around me. I am now more ready to accept people as they are and be more understanding. I feel positive.
Ankita Hazarika
Dear Raj,
This is what I feel. Today I have realized that the woman, the human being that I am deserves to be happy, deserves the respect and love. Its important to care about others and be happy for others for your parents, son, husband, other family members but its equally important to be happy for ourselves for ME. I talked to myself today (which I rarely do) and I discovered the woman in me today through the CORPORitual Session, who I shall take care of in the future.
