![]() ![]() I remember a 29 year old who came to me saying he wanted to work in our organization. ![]() I give them ways to prove their sincerity. I want my people to act with a sense of service. ![]() Some people want more responsibilities, some want less. One of the original disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda (of Autobiography of a Yogi fame), Kriyananda became the face of Yogananda’s US based Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) after the renown guru’s death in 1952, until he was expelled by the Board of the organization, accused of excessive self promotion. I’m here because Swamiji has a big following among the corporate set, evidenced by the fact that one the city’s prominent CEOs is in the room, sitting happily at his feet.Īctually, there’s a lot that corporate executives can learn from Kriyananda’s (aka Donald Walters) own career. The 86 year old founder of the Ananda Spiritual Communities is in Mumbai to deliver a lecture and release his latest book, Demystifying Patanjali, and he’s obviously rather amused at the prospect of being interviewed by a business journalist. Resplendent in a blue silk robe that matches his twinkling blue eyes, Swami Kriyananda looks every inch the new age guru when I meet him in his suite at the JW Marriott. ![]()
