Soulbath Peace Foundation Addresses the Custodians of Trust - SUNDARAM Finance – A Delightful Existence
Raj Bhowmik 217
More than 55 years of Existence in Making Lives easy for people, the Sundaram Finance Group stands in its Vision as a representation of Service in alignment to the Raj Bhowmik Back –To-Society DREAM (RB-BTS DREAM). ‘’
In a simple green campus, the message is loud and clear as one begins to experience happy employees, living life simply like the vision that echoes in most white walls reflecting the Sundaram Finance’s ’s Values – Voice of Prudence, Fair play, Honesty, Integrity, Humility, Openness, Custodians of Trust in relationship with people, Discipline and Service.
Soulbath Peace Foundation was invited to address a senior group of Managers of the Sundaram Finance Group with one intention- Translating these values to balance Life using the CORPORitual Values Of Living Life in this fast paced corporate era of every employee in all aspects of Living.
With an average employee strength who have been stakeholders in the company for more than 10 years is evidence about the company’s vision towards retaining their talent in the industry using the humanistic approach. To add to this, Soulbath Peace Foundation’s essence of CORPORitual would add to the human engagement and therefore productivity of the company.
To a group that comprised of many General Managers with their immediate team members lay the foundations of an engaging workshop where the essential takeaway was the most prominent essence of CVOL – Leadership that is based from the Foundations of Compassion and Kindness -That leaders carry a fragrance and spread that in all domains of life. They are winners in leading lives, rather that being a specialist in a particular domain in a company.
Simple awareness about the most essential sound of life – Our Breath and to consciously align ourselves with the Breath and easy ways of doing this would prevent disasters and a coping lifestyle.
Being part of a company that nurtures its employees, Sundaram Finance provides a safe, comfortable assurance to its stakeholders. However when the stake holders (in this case – employees, team members ) become aware of this unique ability to provide nurture and care within themselves through the human spirit, they become a Sustainable Source of development and Growth of human consciousness around them – be it family, children , team members , themselves or clients whom they interact on a regular basis. This increases the value that they give themselves and others.
Any thing that is Intrinsic is sustainable as the Source is Inexhaustable and we have Values in ourselves. All we need to do is kindle it, and be in touch with it on a regular basis so that we spread it consciously.
CORPORitual Values of Living Workshop did exactly that work- to kindle and make employees aware of simple ways of spreading and the difference it could make to their lives that are already nurtured by the values of the company to a large extent.
Meet Yourself in Silence by cleaning the Mirror of our Sleep not only adds benefits for an employee’s productivity and engagement but also in intra-personal and inter-personal relationship. When an employee is aware that being a generative source rather that a passive recipient does increase their contributions in the ecosystem of Life around them, then they engage in it collaboratively and consciously.
CORPORitual Values Living creates a growing spiral of awareness within individuals to harness that inexhaustible Source within each of us – thus feeling fulfilled about our contributions today in life and Give back from an Unconditional Compassionate Centre to business, family, children and society the same way that individuals relate to themselves – With Care and Nurturing Essence of life.
“Before the Chief Referee blows his whistle, your garden of ‘being more” has to contain more roses than those in your garden of “having more”. And then you can spread the joy, fragrance and the beauty of the aura of your being to the whole of Existence”
- Sri Raj Bhowmik, CORPORitual
When every employee is thus aligned to a Purpose in their lives it integrates and aligns intrinsically with the vision of the company – Life them Becomes a Sundaram (Delightful) Experience. Carrying the CORPORitual Values of Living as a breath in our journey, we begin to love living the journey and value all people who are meant to walk with us in this precious time and place called LIFETIME.

Reflections from Sundaram Finance:

A conviction that I will be better placed to connect with my family and colleagues. After the breathing exercise I felt greatly refreshed. “Give for yourself” as well as others was my prime take away message.

So in turn what can we offer others – LOVE.

I understood that connecting with ourself needs to be a conscious effort that one has to begin with and when one is consistent in it then it gets engraved in our character and who we truly are. CORPORitual Values Of Living are simple ways of connecting and aligning with nature through the Breathing in Life. Firmly believing that connecting to family members, colleagues and loved ones by attending to them and self regularly creates a manifestation in life with the same energy of love. Really attending to the things that anger us in life rather than pretending not to see it or distracting ourselves with other things. One can creatively releasing the anger inside us so that we need not create a house of anger. An awareness about regularly connecting to the goal and soul.
