Spirituality in the Workplace

Spiritual Quotient is the new mantra for organizations today. Companies like Ford, Nike, Boeing, AT&T, Lotus, and Taco Bell alike, have all begun incorporating spirituality into the workplace. A spiritual revival is sweeping across corporate world as organisations are emphasising on spiritual quotient in addition to intelligence quotient and emotional quotient. But why is it so? Is there any relationship between work and spirituality?

Intelligence Quotient deals with the intelligence and solves logical problems while Emotional Quotient is related to our behaviour and allows us to judge the situation we are in and behave appropriately. Spiritual Quotient is a process of personal insight and allows us to ask whether we want to be in that situation or not.

Spirituality is about acknowledging that everyone has a unique talent and spirit, and that talent is to be valued to give rise to creativity. There is a need to allow other people’s spirits to be nourished and change a workplace from merely being a place to earn sufficient money to a place of livelihood. In today’s competitive world, there is a lack of motivation in the workforce.

There is a fear in the minds of people – fear of losing their jobs if they do not do their work right in the very first time, fear of failure, fear of not achieving the best salary hike and the list goes on. Work life has become so demanding, fast paced, stressful and chaotic that we are forced to seek ways of achieving personal stability from within. We are asking questions like, “What’s meaningful work for me?”

If a company focuses only on a single bottom line profit, then it will not sustain. Organisations need to understand that if their employees are happy, they will be more productive and creative which in turn will work as a win-win situation for both the employees and the organisation. Workplace spirituality is becoming a growing concern for the organisations, employees, and job seekers. People are looking to the workplace to fulfil their spiritual needs and on the other hand, organisations which can fulfil spiritual needs of the employees are getting positive work outcomes.

It sounds bit weird that spirituality can affect the goal of any business, which is to make a profit. But this has been proved in various research. A Harvard Business School study examined 10 companies with strong corporate cultures and 10 with weak corporate cultures, drawn from a list of 207 leading corporations. The researchers found that there is a strong co-relation between the organization’s corporate culture and its profitability.

Organisations high in workplace spirituality outperform those without it by 86%. Also, such organisations are high in motivation, reportedly grow faster, increase efficiencies, and produce higher returns on investments. Stronger religiosity generally has a positive impact on levels of satisfaction. Indeed, those identifying themselves as deeply religious and not so deeply religious were found to be more satisfied with life than those identifying themselves as slightly religious.

How can spirituality be made a part of workplace? Organisations are holding seminars on spiritual leadership, group vision, religious diversity, and some have even set aside a meditation/prayer room where workers can go during the workday. Various practices like integration of core values and core business decisions, leadership practices including servant leadership- the desire to serve others first in preference to self, Employee Assistance Programs and other practices that support the growth and development of the employees can be included in the workplace.

POWERGRID Corporation of India Limited felt a need to provide spiritual growth training to its employees, so that it helps them in improving their performance. It organised programs with considerable spiritual contents. Employees were provided training by Art of Living Foundation and Isha Foundation. Based on the analysis of the results, it had been observed that program was proved to be effective for most of the participants and especially for those who practiced the kriya from the day of completion of the program. The participants were able to see the difference in their personal as well as professional life after completion of this program. So, let us get involved in the spirituality movement and try to create a sense of meaning and purpose at work and a connection between the company and its people.

Why I quit my job and moved to middle-of-nowhere Tennessee

No, that’s not Tennessee. That’s 24-year old me, sitting on a remote beach in Malawi, accompanied only by backpacking gear and a taxi driver I befriended all of 3 hours ago. This was everything I had dreamed of. In high school, I had made a pact with my best friend that we would never end up with “regular jobs”, i.e. sitting in an office, answering emails, etc. The truth was, that’s exactly where I ended up. So this “achievement” of traveling all by myself, to a remote part of Africa, was my way of compensating for the lack of excitement and thrill in my life. This moment was everything I wanted: Instagram-worthy natural beauty and the adrenaline rush of the danger of being a solo female traveler. Stuff I had only seen scrolling through my social media timelines, except this time I was living it.

Then why was I so damn miserable?

I was sitting there, staring at the pristine water, surrounded by cheerful laughter of other tourists. I had a smile on my face too, but inside, something just wasn’t right. How could I be at, what I thought was, the pinnacle of FREEDOM, and be feeling so utterly trapped? I began writing on the notes app on my phone (my not-so-secret digital diary) about a whole host of feelings: fear, that at any moment the taxi driver could turn on me; guilt - it took a lot of effort to make it to Malawi both monetarily for me and emotionally for my parents; was it worth it?

Did I just travel halfway across the world just to feel alive?

This was over a year after I completed the Inner Engineering program. But it was not my first time feeling this way. I enrolled in this program suspiciously curious about meditation & Sadhguru. My brother had taken the program a few years ago and I had scoffed at the idea of a “Guru” and frankly, it disturbed me to see my brother in a “meditative” state. As a person of Indian origin, growing up largely outside of India, I was deeply insecure about anything that came out of my culture. I barely understood it, but I was desperately trying to fit into the American definition of what is acceptable and “cool”. This meditation and guru-following did not fit that definition.

But then the senior year of college happened, and when it started to hit me that the 4-year party that is college was drawing to a close, I began to feel a bigger and bigger question mark about what the hell I should do with my life. This overwhelming feeling led me to meditation apps, and eventually Sadhguru and his free online guided meditation - Isha Kriya. This made feel a bit calmer although I must admit his voice haunted me a bit. I kept up with the practice, somewhat in shameful secret, for a year. This was followed by me registering for Inner Engineering Online, a 7 session online course. I started the course with a prejudiced yet seeking lens, but what I heard in those videos surprised and humbled me (a bit). I must confess I slept through some of the sessions & had to ask for many extensions to complete the course. Six months later I attended an Inner Engineering Completion program and was initiated into Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya - a 21-minute meditation/yoga practice. Throughout this whole time, I had no excitement or craving of seeing Sadhguru in person - I considered myself way too intelligent to be sucked into, what I thought was, guru mania. I remember leaving the initiation feeling a bit unsettled - deep inside I knew I had experienced something beyond the “normal”, but I just didn’t want to come to terms with it.

2 years after my initiation, I volunteered for the Inner Engineering program with Sadhguru in Toronto. By this time, Sadhguru had kind of taken over my Youtube suggestions. I would watch him for hours, hoping to get an answer to the same question that started plaguing me in college: what the hell should I do with my life. Every expectation of life I had, continued to fall flat: dating, career, money, partying, all seemed overhyped, so I started relying more and more on the one aspect that stayed as stable as a rock - Shambhavi Kriya. My Isha volunteering involvement only intensified when I moved to Atlanta & closer to the Isha Center in Tennessee.

I always thought a spiritual path would be that of intense focus and commitment. The truth was my experience of life became like a whirlpool. I started binge-enrolling for any and all Isha classes I could find. I came out of relationships, my time partying got replaced by Isha volunteering & I started gathering fellow meditator friends my age. It was a thrill finding like-minded young people whose idea of fun was not limited to taking shots and twerking at the club. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed a good twerk sesh, but I enjoyed the diversity of switching from partying to meditating. It felt like I was on the “right track” - whatever that was.

Setting up dining at a local Inner Engineering program in Atlanta. Almost everything in Isha is volunteer-run. Everything as in from cooking, cleaning and running a foundation of over 9 million volunteers with programs in almost every part of the world.

Visiting Isha Institute of Inner-sciences in Tennessee with family & friends.

The Storm Before the Calm

I got accepted to Peace Corps, serving as a Business advisor in Uganda - a dream of mine for many years. But I had also started considering volunteering for Sadhguru’s river revitalization initiative - Rally for Rivers in India. Around this time, I had also started volunteering at the Isha center in Tennessee. Volunteering at the center on the weekends was the extra-curricular hobby that made me seem interesting and profound to the average tinder date but also kept me feeling alive without having to go too far. Although it felt like I was taking a commendable step by volunteering my weekends, the truth was all the same tendencies that had lead to disappointment in the past, were beginning to show their head here too: ego, competition, jealousy and compulsive flirting, to name a few. At the end of an advanced program at the Isha Center in Tennessee, Sadhguru said: “if America meditates, the world will meditate... just the young people need to stand up.” This stuck with me. But I still wasn’t convinced how this would fit into the “cool” caricature I had built of myself. Building businesses in Uganda or talking to farmers in remote villages in India to help save the rivers - these were worthy of Instagram fame. Moving to Tennessee to get well-fed Americans to meditate? It just did not have the same ring to it. My parents, who had poured their lives into my life & education, were not too thrilled with any of my choices since they all involved quitting my cushy corporate job at General Electric. This decision-making time felt like I was sitting on a swinging pendulum. In the midst of this, I also fell in love.

The most advanced program Isha offers is called Samyama. I seriously considered taking it this year but everything about how I approached it was about checking another program off the list. I didn’t really know why I wanted to take it. My love affair crumbled in the most dramatic way around this decision-making time. Life felt like hell for a few weeks, but somehow the situation also served as the best compass. In the middle of what felt like a tornado, many things became clear to me: I was in no way prepared for an undertaking Samyama; Both Rally for Rivers & working in Uganda were only opportunities I was considering because they served my ego under the pretense of being compassionate. What I really needed was balance & clarity, not of the world outside, but the mess that was inside.

It was finally time to listen to the Guru.

And Now, Yoga...

I often hear people talk about the day they learned Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya like a turning point in their life. In my experience, I couldn’t really say it was. Sure, the sinus issues that had bothered me since childhood had largely disappeared and I felt more in control of my own happiness but these didn’t feel like transformational changes. I now realize that this was largely because I practiced the tool of Inner Engineering, I volunteered for Inner Engineering, but I did not actually live Inner Engineering.

How to perform any task without getting identified to it? How to purify the intent behind an action, thought or word? How to become responsive, not reactive to the life around you? How to make someone aware that very way the walk, eat, think, breathe is at the crux of their experience of life?

In May 2019, I took a month-long sabbatical & trial-tested long-term volunteering at Isha Institute of Inner-sciences in McMinnville, Tennessee. During this time I cooked, cleaned, helped coordinate programs for hundreds of participants and soaked in the energized space of the center.

At the end of the month, I couldn’t imagine leaving.

On July 16, Guru Purnima, a day that is recognized as the first day Yoga was imparted, I started a 7-month program at the Isha center called Sadhanapada. This is a focused dedicated program, designed by Sadhguru, to bring higher levels of balance, clarity, and intensity to those who are seeking. The program involves almost 6 hours dedicated to Yoga practices & at least 6 hours of volunteering each day. In my limited understanding, the intense schedule is purposefully structured in such a way that there is only time for our classical Yoga practices & activity in a variety of areas based on our skillset and need for growth. For these 7 months, all of us 25ish participants, are taking up a focused effort to keep our tendencies, likes, dislikes & need for companionship aside. It is time to invest in ourselves. Ourselves - the only thing we can truly control.

Children’s program at Isha Center includes live demo from Tennessee State Parks!

That one time a friend, Madeline, visited me at the Isha center.

Yoga programs aren’t all sitting with your eyes closed...

A typical morning/evening in the Sadhanapda program.. (6 hours of Yoga a day!)

Got to take a quick hike on my 26th birthday...

What do I hope to get out of this?

This is a question I have asked of almost every single decision I have made in my relatively short adult life. This program, Sadhanapada, is the first time I simply have no hope. The problem with expectations is that it inherently sets a limit on what is possible, and when you’re dealing with a movement that aims to take you to your highest potential - I would like to keep all my options open, even the ones I don’t know exist.

The one thing I can say is that the most enriching experiences I have had are when I expect nothing but put my everything into it. This was true when I volunteered for a dance marathon in college to raise money for pediatric cancer. It was true when I was Business Manager at my college newspaper and didn’t care how late I stayed up simply because I cared deeply about the product. It was true when I fell in love - not just romantically, any time I simply gave myself to a friend’s happiness or an act of gratitude to my parents.

In the past 3 months, my ability to be joyful has been truly put to the test. In one day, I probably experience more than I did in a whole month before I started the program. It’s hard to explain to someone who has not been here but as a volunteer, you are simply willing to do whatever’s needed - that means in one day you could be gardening, followed by being in the kitchen, followed by helping coordinate programs across the country, the list goes on and on. This is all in one day. But we are constantly guided to do absolutely everything in total awareness - this includes waking up, eating & all the activity we may be involved in.

Being a full-time volunteer is a state of being. Fully on and willing. So far, it’s been a liberating experience - a lot less time is spent calculating what I can get out of every situation.

What the hell do I do with my life? Wrong question.

How the hell am I experiencing life? The process continues...

So I've had this app, Isha Kriya, for months. I stumbled upon an ad for it, I liked what the guy said, so downloaded it. Today was the first time I ever used it. I haven't been mediating much lately, and I was a bit fidgety during, but once I found the best seat for myself, it was a bit magical. I think I'm gonna try to do this daily, if not definitely multiple times a week. I felt real good after. #mediate #goods #yoga #ishakriya #meditation #practice #girl #woman #female #lady #pnwgirl

5.0 out of 5 stars A book to be studied, not read, to engineer your life

4.0 out of 5 stars Well conceived, fluidly written and easy to read, with a few elements which stretch belief [...]Sadhguru wants to be a “dispeller of darkness.” He believes that living joyfully is not “magical” but can be done systematically, like an engineering problem. He has written the book in two parts–first he describes the landscape and then he lays out a route on how to get there.The description of the landscape is from a perspective of personal experience. He describes how he developed as a highly curious and observant person. The first step is to know that you know nothing or very little. That opens the door to really knowing anything. He was not a disciplined student, except towards his yoga routine. He did well in a couple of businesses he started and was feeling quite confident and successful. Then one day when he was twenty five, he was heart broken, and went up on a hill to contemplate. There he was enlightened in an afternoon of reverie and dropped all that was “me and mine.” He saw all boundaries melt away. This experience transformed him physically–even the shape of his eyes, his gait. People started getting cured just by seeing him. He himself felt that he had supernatural powers. He gained many lifetimes of memory and became aware of a “million things.” He decided to go beyond the rational and logical and embrace the “intelligence of life itself.”He realized that goal of all human endeavor is to liberate itself of boundaries. We all want to be in a state of pleasantness. Pleasantness comes from whatever we lack at that time. If you are hungry, food is what you need, if you are tired, then a comfortable bed is what you need. When we are love lorn, we need our beloved to be with us. But after all these needs are met, we still need to expand ourselves more. Therefore, the ultimate goal is to transcend all boundaries.Read more › Go to Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars Will Change Your Life I firmly believe in having a healthy mind and healthy body. This guide to yoga can help you achieve both spiritual tranquility and a strong body. This book and the practice of Yoga has changed my life. Of course, eating health and water are essential to life, but I also believe in taking the best multi vitamins available, my favorite is Vitamiss Multi – Complete Multimineral, Multivitamin and Nutritional Supplements for Women Go to Amazon

3.0 out of 5 stars Misleading advertising, but still excellent The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 5 is because the books advertising is misleading, great content and information none the less but it's advertised as a "guide" or a "how to" book which it NOT, it's only an introduction to Hatha yogi concepts. Once you read this book you either will end up attending Isha Foundation Yoga classes or try to find a Yogi guru somewhere near you. I see this book more as a first layer of a sales funnel. The ultimate goal of this book is a mere introduction. But it is still a very profound book I would recommend it to anyone having a second thought, just be aware that it's not a guide that's all. It simply tells yo what Hatha yoga is and what it can do for you, not how. Go to Amazon

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL GUIDE TO JOY - A MUST READ AND A KEEPER!!! I took Inner Engineering completion Program (Shambhavi Kriya) in May 2015 and has been evolving since with regular practice of shambhavi kriya.I took additional programs which had been additional tools for my self transformation. Each tool that Isha Yoga offered ( especially the advanced meditation program-BhavaSpandana) helped me look inward. Life changed. I am meditative,peaceful, joyful and grateful to this life and everything around me. My perception enhanced and everything I come across has been wonderful.Having studied the medical physiology and practicing medicine, I am blown away to get acquainted to yogic physiology. It is amazing to experience the yogic physiology work through the regular practice of the kriya.At this stage of life, this book has been published. I preordered it and started reading it and completed it.I have to admit that I am not enthusiastic reader ( I was in childhood, but lost it once started the medical school). I start reading books, but hard to finish them.I committed myself to read this book and once I started reading- I couldn't keep it down. I am so gratified to be blessed with it. I recall that I wished I could take notes from the inner engineering program as I could not retain the program contents. It is like my wish came true in the form of this book.It is a manual for me, I have to read it again and gain to retain the content. There is so much wisdom in every line. I will be referring back to it as I did to my Hutchinson manual( in my medical school time). I add one more tool to my journey of self realization.THE ONLYWAY OUT IS IN and Inner Engineering is an excellent tool help her your way in. Blessed are those who gift themselves this life transforming tool.Read more › Go to Amazon

13 Major Yoga Mantras to Memorize

While stating a rule prior to or after you tip on the floor covering could improve your practice, you do not need to be in yoga mode to shout. Concepts are a yoga tool you could make use of to soothe your mind anywhere, anytime. Feeling anxious, lonely, anxious, delighted? Choose a word, expression, or conjuration and shout it in a means that benefits you: loudly, lightly, or even inside. To reap one of the most advantages, much shorter mantras ought to be chanted 108 times (mala beads could assist with that) and longer rules could be restarted approximately 3 times. All the same, assign a couple of minutes to focus your focus on the sound.

"The pronunciation of mantras is extremely important," Slatoff-Ponté claims. "Preferably, one discovers the proper pronunciation from a teacher, who can likewise suggest a specific mantra for you."
