Success through the Vachnamrut

Purpose:
• To show how success is a concept that can be defined through the vachnamrut, not only in your spiritual life, but also in your career and personal life.
• To show that the vachnamrut is not a book containing unreachable/inapplicable concepts.

Theme:

The development of these traits is not an overnight process, as they begin to define themselves through the molding of your character.

For this reason, it can be termed as the foundation of success.

• Conclude with the importance of the vachnamrut and how the audience can build success in their lives as well – it is never too late.

The objective of this part of the activity is to get the audience involved or wrapped up into thinking, success is a destination, not a journey.

Everything that the audience would have mentioned is about the destination, but now ask the question, what did it take to get...
