Swami Parthasarathy (par-tha-sa-ra-thee) is a distinguished philosopher and best-selling author. His mission is to awaken audiences, throughout the world, on their potential to live a fulfilled life of dynamic action with perfect peace of mind.
The word Swami means spiritual teacher and like all education, you get all types of teachers; some are brilliant, some are ordinary and others are extraordinary. I would class this Swami as the latter, but that’s just my opinion.
Swami Parthasarathy, or Swamiji as he is popularly known, is 84 years young. He is widely acclaimed as the greatest living advocate and master of Vedanta, the ancient Indian philosophy of life and living.
He has multiple degrees in literature, science and law, and completed a post graduation in international law from London University.
Swamiji’s outstanding contribution to humanity is his translation of subtle philosophical concepts into practical techniques of self-management that reduce stress and increase productivity. These techniques are being taught, by him, to young people from all over the world, at the Vedanta Academy in India, which he founded in 1988. The academy is a government recognised SIRO (Scientific and Research Organisation).
He has spoken at the Festival of Thinkers as a keynote speaker alongside sixteen Nobel Laureates, the Aspen Ideas Festival, as a keynote for The Young Presidents’ Organization, The World Presidents’ Organization, The World Economic Forum, Dubai Thinker’s Conference, NASA, Microsoft, Ford, the Indian cricket team (although not recently) and many of the worlds leading schools such as, Harvard and Wharton.
He has been featured in media worldwide including TIME, New Yorker, Businessweek, CNBC, Sunday Times London, the New York Post, The West Australian and The Times of India, among others.
He has authored eleven books, including the best-selling Vedanta Treatise: The Eternities, which is now in its 14th edition. His latest book, “Governing Business and Relationships” addresses the topic of Work-Life balance.

While Perth goes through an almost record breaking heat wave, I’m reminded of the words spoken by my teacher’s professor in Chennai, over sixty years ago. 
Our mind is like a child, full of impulses, feelings, emotions, likes and dislikes, while our intellect is like an adult, full of sound logic and reason.
The trouble with New Year’s resolutions, apart from the fact that they don’t work, is that they are admissions of discontentment. 
Christmas is a time when we are meant to relax and have fun. However, for many people, the build up to Christmas is a very stressful time. There is shopping to be done, gifts to buy, family to contact, cards to be written, presents to wrap, decorations to put up, meals to prepare, homes to be cleaned… Aaarhh! There’s simply too much to do! Instead of stressing out this Christmas, apply these ten tips, prepared by our CEO, and have yourself a merry stress-free Christmas!
