Gita for the CEO - A Transformational Evening

The book launch of Gita for the CEO marked a meaningful evening devoted to leadership, wisdom, and community. Conceived through the collaboration of ISKCON and Shri Shailesh Patil, Founder and CEO of Sense22 Yoga, the event reflected a shared vision and came together as a memorable celebration.

Shri Shailesh Patil opened the gathering by welcoming the distinguished delegates and speaking about the spirit and impactful work of Sense22 Yoga. Recognized for bringing ancient wisdom into conversation with modern practices, the organization continues to set standards for holistic well-being and leadership.

The evening was honored by the presence of Shri Manohar Dumbre, our respected corporator, who inaugurated the book launch and received the first signed copy of Gita for the CEO from the revered author, Shri Chaitanya Charan. Shri Dumbre was then felicitated with a shawl of respect by Shri Anand Bhide, a Yoga Shikshak and Shankha expert. He also shared reflections on long-standing local initiatives, expectations of leadership, and appreciation for the collective efforts behind the event.

A spiritual highlight of the evening was Shri Anand Bhide’s powerful blowing of the Sughosa, resonating with the legacy of the Mahabharata. He also had the honor of presenting a copy of the book to Shri Chaitanya Charan.

The focus of the evening was Shri Chaitanya Charan, whose session on the 10 Sutras for Leaders deeply engaged the audience. In his 2-hour lecture, he connected the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita with practical leadership approaches for today’s world. The session ended with an interactive Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to explore the subject further.

Each participant received a signed copy of the book, adding a personal and memorable touch to the experience. The evening concluded with a satvic meal, leaving everyone with a sense of gratitude and fulfillment.

We extend heartfelt thanks to ISKCON and Shri Shailesh Patil for conceptualizing and bringing this impactful event to life. Special gratitude goes to Shri Chaitanya Charan for his valuable insights, and to all dignitaries and attendees who helped make the evening extraordinary.
