Tony Manwaring interviews Swami Parthasarathy, a man whom Time magazine described as giving “a new meaning to the phrase business guru”. This pre-eminent philosopher popularly known as 'Swamiji' is widely acclaimed as the greatest living exponent of Vedanta, the ancient philosophy of life and living.

It’s a fascinating conversation where the true values of success gently bubble to the surface. Swamiji proves the importance of developing the mind and intellect as the prerequisite to success – a subtle and subversive spin on how businesses can be a force for good.

As a global leader his authority does not rest on his multiple degrees in literature, science and international law. Nor on the lucrative corporate career he renounced in order to dedicate himself to the vision of Vedanta.

If you can’t manage yourself you can’t manage anything else. To this end, Swami Parthasarathy travels the world talking to leaders of government and business, individually and through corporate seminars and international conferences – he was a keynote speaker at the recent Aspen Ideas Festival.

For young people, he has set up an international academy in the beautiful foothills of India that also hosts a corporate academy for YPOs and world business leaders.
