Main Presentation:

Forever Fulfilled
"The Bhagavad Gītā and Other Universal Truths"

with
Satinder K. Dhiman, PhD, EdD, MBA, MCOM

Dr. Dhiman’s own teachings are richly illuminated by his concentration on the non-sectarian spiritual Bhagavad Gītā -- its text showing how to manage oneself, as a necessary prelude to leading others. Gītā (part of the great Indian epic — the Mahābhārata) can be approached as a powerful tool for change management and as a catalyst for organizational transformation. It teaches equanimity.

Dr. Dhiman’s time-tested leadership strategies drawn from the Bhagavad Gītā employ an inside-out leadership development approach based on Self-knowledge and Self-mastery, the two highly important areas for practicing effective Self-leadership.

LYRICS

"I Think I Heard Him Say"
Early American Spiritual
Arrangement: Gilbert M. Martin

I think I heard him say, when he was strugglin’ up the hill,
I think I heard him say, “Take my mother home”.

I think I heard him say, as they were puttin’ up the cross,
I think I heard him say, “Take my mother home”.

“Then I’ll die easy, take my mother home,
then I’ll die easy, take my mother home”.

I think I heard him say, when they were nail-in’ in the nails,
I think I heard him say, “Take my mother home”.

I think I heard him say, when he was giv-in’ up the Ghost,
I think I heard him say, “Take my mother home”.

“Then I’ll die easy, take my mother home.
I’ll die so easy, take my mother home”.
“Please, take my mother home”.

"Lift Up My Soul"
by Douglas Decker and Maureen O'Connor

"He"
By Richard Mullan and Jack Richards

He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea;
He alone decides who writes a symphony;
He lights every star that makes our darkness bright;
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night.
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer;
Saint and sinner call and always find Him there.
Though it makes Him sad to see the way we live,
He'll always say, "I forgive."
