CORPORitual Values Of Living Workshop to Teachers
Reflections by Teachers of Sri Ramana Vidyalaya
Dear Sri Raj,
Today’s CORPORitual program is excellent. It is a transformational program where the human mind can become a human being. Many qualities like forgiving and forgetting which we have within us but have never been aware of is the need of the hour. This we can experience in our personal life and our carrier. We became aware of life and living. The program motivated us to live in the present and know ourselves. The five and half hour program made us understand ourselves and the power of silence, the power of forgiveness. The power of the awareness and the part played by us. The calmness in my mind and the power of breathing to pause in between the stressful day, it made me realize that we must live for ourselves( it does not mean that we are selfish) so that, that happiness is transferred to the family, to the people around us and the work place and to the future generation. As a teacher we can create this environment with the children who are left in our care so that the next generation is a happy generation. In the modern scientific world we are losing so much in the name of advancements and comfort. Thank you Raj for giving me an opportunity to attend this program

Dear Sri Raj,
The CORPORitual program was so useful that if I am aware of these values in my daily living I can live in peace. Through the program I realized that when I forgive myself and others I can be happy and successful. I understand that I don’t have to carry a past and I can forget it. Be positive and be aware of my negative. I will always be aware of this essence here after. I will remember May 10 and take part in serving. Giving is the best thing in our lives. I will imbibe this quality and also introduce this quality to our children, in my home and relatives. And when we change I know the magical change will happen in this world too. I am proud to be a teacher because I have had the opportunity to know and understand this and pass it on to the children. Thank you.

Dear Sri Raj,
I have never called myself by my name and in the CORPORitual program when we did this exercise of calling ourselves by our name it took me by surprise and I was moved because I was able to experience so much of happiness when I called myself by my name. It was the most happiest moment in my life. I was touched. I have no words to express this. Through the program I know have the strength and the power to handle children more effectively. It is the luckiest day of my life. Thank you so much.

Dear Sri Raj,
The CORPORitual program was very interesting and it has given me a new experience. The very difference between life and living which I was not aware of all these years. I understood living is the process and that it should be right. The importance of taking a pause in our hectic work schedule empowers us. I realized that happiness is the quality of the soul and that we should meet ourselves in silence so that we generate more peace and happiness in our lives. I have decided to spend 30 minutes with myself every day and balance my mind. I have realized the joy of Giving and the power of forgiving. I spread this essence to the students too. Its not worth carrying our negative thoughts and I will practice this in my life.

Dear Sri Raj,
Every day running to school and rushing back home I am always find myself under tremendous stress. The CORPORitual program came as a relief. It was so interesting that I heard many new things to enrich my life. I was able to understand myself. Forgiving others, to pause, to breath and empower myself and giving has changed my perception. My mind always wants to help others. May 10 I will say to everybody to help and I will also take part in the event. I will nurture these values in my students. First I will impact change in me and also make an effort to change everyone around me. I would like to share this experience with my friends and relatives. I am going to live with the essence of my being. I am so happy to realize it. I would forgive others who make mistakes and create problems for me. I just want to be happy and help others. The program has given me the clarity and thank you so much for the wonderful program. Its god’s gift given to me. I love you.

Dear Sri Raj,
The CORPORitual program is a program of Compassion. The essence and the teaching just entered my heart. I had a different experience in my heart. A compassion that brought so much of peace in me and I felt that even the entire universe was peaceful. What Ramana says I realize. The program has changed me. I came to understand the difference between life and living and the process involved and what success really is. I understood the true meaning of success.

Dear Sri Raj,
The CORPORitual program is a unique opportunity in my life. I have come in touch with the essentials for happy living. It has generated an awareness in me. It is a program on awareness. That’s what I would call it. I now know the way to understand myself. I made me aware of my current reference to where I am in life and what I can become. I just want to be a good human Being and not pay too much attention to my mind. All unfavourable situations in life now I am ready to enhance it with awareness. Thank you Raj.

Dear Sri Raj,
First of all I thank the management to give this opportunity. Before attending the CORPORitual program my mind and heart was fully upset with many incidents I have come across in my life. When I attended the program my mind and heart was filled with happiness and peacefulness. I have become aware of many things. The two beautiful things that touched me is to meet myself in silence and be aware of my negative thoughts. I know these two practices will make me a good person in this world.

Dear Sri Raj,
First time in my life I called myself by my name only in the CORPORitual program. It was a very happy and totally different experience. I understood that if I spend time with myself I will find peace and serenity within myself. When I start dropping negative attitudes from an unaware space I will be empowered. The joy of giving and forgiving. I have heard of the word forgive but I understood the true meaning of the word only in this session. How I have to create a nurturing and favourable situation for children I understood. I have a problem in my family. My husband is being gripped by a fear. He says it just comes automatically. It is the fear of death. So he is not able to be at peace. He has totally lost his peace. Whatever positive I try to talk it makes him feel good only for a small time. Again the fear starts. Please Raj show me a way out of this problem. He is not able to bring himself to an environment of peace and silence.

Dear Sri Raj,
The CORPORitual program made me realize that practicing silence everyday and talking to myself I can get over the agitation in my mind and find peace. I have already started practicing this and also to pause. I have the practice of giving and the program has given me the reason to continue with it. I will forgive others. I will share these values with the children and nurtue them in their lives. It has helped me develop the talent I have within me.

Dear Sri Raj,
The program has highlighted the essential values to lead a good life. At times I might have practiced forgiving, at times I may not have. But the CORPORitual program has given me the insight to follow it throughout my life. I just have the wish to educate children on these values.

Dear Sri Raj,
I would first of like to thank you for the CORPORitual program which has made an effort to help me know myself and realize what my mind is all about. I would always tell my mind please relax, but today I understood the true meaning of it. The very practical essence of the CORPORitual program has created the awareness as to how I should go about. I thank the school management for giving us this program. When I practice talking to myself in silence I know I will be able to let go of my negative attitudes and reach my goal. To forgive is such a beautiful quality and i realize we are running in this world at a fast pace that we do not seem to be aware of these priceless qualities. I understood. From today I will the person whom I will talk to and make myself and others happy.

At times and many a time negative thoughts cloud my mind and I understand I do not have to pay attention to it, I would like take these values of higher living to my students.

Dear Sri Raj,
Ramana says Know yourself and I understood that so beautifully through the CORPORitual program. Till the age of 37 I did not even know how to live life. Atleast now I should be aware of the quality of giving. The impact of negative thoughts is too much. But now I will live for myself and reclaim my life. At times I forget to forgive now I know I just have to forgive and bless myself and others. I understood the importance of the heart. The science of compassion. We know that we face problems everyday but we have never kown how to come out of it. I have realized it. I want to add meaning to my life, I want the blessings of God, I want the CORPORitual values to spread into my family. It is with us to make a differerence to ourselves. Raj I always want your blessings for my family.

Dear Sri Raj,
The CORPORitual program made me aware of many things. Calling myself by my name for the first time in my life gave me an experience of infinite happiness. I will learn to forgive and forget what others do I no more want to carry the baggage of the past. To search for silence is like standing in water and saying I am feeling thirsty. Thank you so much for showing us the way to live life and become a good human being.
