Omshanti. The latest issue of The Week magazine, which is one of the reputed and best-selling weekly magazines of India carries a cover story titled "CEOs and spirituality - India Inc. embraces the new mantra" and includes the examples of how some of the top Indian CEOs cope with stress.
Anu Aga, former Chairperson, Thermax, while praising Vipassana, a Buddhist form of meditation, says that her employees are into Art of living and Brahmakumaris.
According to the above magazine, K.S.Raju, CEO, Nagarjuna Fertilizers and Chemicals is associated with the Brahmakumaris apart from Swami Parthasarathy's Vedanta Institute and Swami Sukhbodhananda.
I have learnt from my BK sources that K.S.Raju's late Father Shri K.V.K.Raju who was the CEO of NFCL till his demise had become a pukka BK during his lifetime. He was one of the one of the first major industrialist/CEO followers of BKWSU. Actually, it was he who changed the course of BKWSU's functioning by diverting their focus from the traditional seven-day course to self-management courses. He was one who gave the BKWSU access to the global Inc. by investing a huge amount of money.
He sent many of his employees to Mount Abu for spiritual training and even got a BK center opened exclusively for his staff at Nagarjuna Hills with such luxuries that BK teachers or even Dadis had hardly seen in India. He hails from the same city (actually a twin city consisting of Hyderabad and Secunderabad) whose teachers were introduced to this forum by ex-l recently wearing crowns along with Dadi Janaki.
Before the arrival of KVK Raju on to the scene, the BK empire of the above mentioned twin cities was divided into two areas named Hyderabad and Secunderabad. But such was the hostility between the two zones that special teachers were brought from the financial capital of India - Mumbai to manage this special center at Nagarjuna Hills. And it was neither affiliated to Hyderabad nor Secunderabad group of centers. After the demise of KVK Raju his son probably did not show as much interest as his Father, but nevertheless continued to patronize it and the BK center at Nagarjuna Hills continues to be a special center for BKWSU. I have also come to know that this center also runs a BK shop on the lines of those available in Western Countries selling BK products.
KVK Raju was also responsible for giving a stronghold to the BK Management gurus from abroad like Brian Bacon, etc. in the Indian Inc.
