In this episode, I have a conversation with Vivekji (Vivek Gupta) about the importance of holistic education to be successful in any field.

Vivekji is a spiritual teacher and public speaker with Chinmaya Mission, an international non-profit organization working to transform individuals through the knowledge of Vedanta. In this dialogue, he shares how Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth (also referred to as Chinmaya University) is built on four pillars - Purity, Spirituality, Practicality, and Innovation, to provide well-rounded education without any barriers.

Now, we all have an amazing opportunity to be a part of Chinmaya University. There is a crowdfunding campaign happening across North America till October 15, 2021. You can help to provide scholarships for students from less privileged backgrounds; to build a state-of-the-art institution; to spread awareness by sharing this information with your friends and family.
