Power of Kindness in Business
Based on the Wall Street Book - "The Power of Nice" - this session explores different ways of succeeding in business; using kindness and abundance instead competitiveness, putting ourselves in other people's place and helping others get their share of the pie, spreading wealth and communication compassionately. Concrete examples from the business world and research data will be used to illustrate the points. Connections to Jain values and principles such as Anekantvad and Four Bhavanas will be made in building relationships and enforcing positive social interactions. In the end, the pie you take is equal to the pie you bake. What you give is what you take, so take your Jain values to work.

Children are taught to create magic in their own lives... the magic of love. Magic Touch is merely a medium to bloom the budding divinity within each child. SRM does not believe in teaching, it believes in inculcating values, in inspiring and transforming lives. And this is done through Spiritual Enhance ment, Self Development and by imparting strong Moral Values in the children. These are playfully imparted to the children through puppet shows, captivating skits, cartoon characterizations, interactive worksheets, creativity sessions, rhymes, dances, and much more.
