Subject: Emotional Intelligence
"Panel members: Invited Speakers and more
Have you ever thought why the best student at university is not the best one in family life or in profession? Why he is not the best father or best spouse?
Anyone who has begun working life might discover soon that ability to 'get ahead' depends little on what they learned in training school or university. So, what’s the mantra of success? It’s probably the emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and action."

Speak from Experience : "In the upcoming VNSA Convention we will be conducting an “Speak from Experience” session to discuss the convention theme “Sthavarakkalivuntu Jangamakkalivilla”. What does it mean to us? How is this concept still relevant in common people’s life? How does this concept apply to our current life? How can we improve ourselves by applying this philosophy?
If these topics are of your concern, please join us at “Speak from Experience” session, and be witness to the exciting discussion on the philosophy and be part of this life changing experience. Share your personal thoughts and ask questions to our distinguished speakers.

Yogic Breathing for Stress Free Living:"Dr. Gagan Bhalla explores the scientific basis of Yoga-Pranayam. The foundation of Pranayam is the belief that the breath is core to good health and peace of mind. Dr. Bhalla also explains why it is important to exercise both the ""hardware"" and ""software"" of our person.
Significant effort has gone into validating the scientific backing behind Pranayam. It is interesting to explore how this ancient practice reconciles against modern western science and the common sense of attending to one's breath"
