If I really think, all of us are exposed to most of the grass root concepts at various times of life. Medha Jananam is a great idea that creates an awareness or consciousness of the things that really matter. It brings a 20/20 vision for the one who had never had his eye tested.

A lot of questions about religion, belief, faith and other concepts are a lot clearer now. I was feeling guilty when I couldn’t attend this or that puja or couldn’t focus during a vrata. Now that guilt is not there as I can understand and appreciate the reasons behind those. When I explain to my kids also I have better clarity myself and so do they.

Now that I have Medhajananam knowledge now, I wouldn’t think second time, if I have to make those same decisions. Thanks to Krishna garu for volunteering to spread this great knowledge. My second time attending is as colorful and interesting as was my first time because of great group, color-combination, discussions and interactions.

I strongly recommend this workshop to everyone. Get it done well in advance. Don’t dig a well for water when you are really thirsty. Our time is valuable, but this course is much more valuable and it will be useful to you only, but not to Krishna garu or anyone else. I wish to dream about a day where every graduate should be proud to attend Medhajananam workshop as part of their curriculam.

even though the course has more emphasis with examples taken from the hindu-vedic aspects of life and philosophy, it also has many citations from other religions… islam, christianity, buddhism, etc…the instructor’s depth of knowlede is commendable and it clearly shows in the contents, organization, and presentation of this class.

This course really tied things together; it took the complexities of the text and simplified them so that teenagers might get a better handle on the values these texts try to bring about.

I truly walked away with a better understanding of myself and what I can start doing today to make my life more meaningful. I also learned a lot about Hindu and Sanskrit.

Now for me, it was a great experience. The concepts are gathered exhaustively and scientifically and are presented succinctly and poetically. I can say that there are very few other sources which can provide such a compact yet detailed account of anything. This course has only further motivated and directed my pursuit of knowledge…

I found the material presented and the discussion points are original, comprehensive and useful for sorting the day-to-day emotional and worldly issues quickly and handle them in a balanced way. I wish I had this course when I was as young as 20-25 years.

Practicality-wise, i can tell you, as a science-bound undergrad student, there is no limit to the insight shed upon my daily studies, which can sometimes seem set apart from philosophical approaches (I am glad to elaborate on that by email:)). As a person with no particular spiritual or religious guidance/upbringing, but with a great openness to learning, I can tell you, what you will get out of the course will give you exactly what YOU need

The ‘colours’ concept helped me in understanding first myself & people around me better. This concept gave me the reason as to why thinking of those around me are so different from mine. Now I seem to have better anticipation of my & other’s reactions to different situations in day to day life.

I am into software Technology. I saw many similarities between Medha Jananam and OOPS (Object Oriented Programming Systems).

1. First Day I realized the concepts were very well abstracted - Abstraction.
2. Second Day I realized the concepts were very well encapsulated - Encapsulation.
3. Third Day I realized the concept “Medha Jananam” as an interface which can have multiple methods and one of the methods is “Framework of Aum” - Polymorphism.
4. Fourth Day I realized the concepts uses inheritance characteristics - Inheritance
5. Fifth Day I realized, if we combine all these concepts, it becomes one of the phases of the project , I could see the same vision in “Medha Jananam” in terms of Work Perspective.

I like to say that those who haven’t understood OOPS should go for “Medha Jananam” to understand it better and those who have understood OOPS but not life also should go for “Medha Jananam”.

I must admit that before starting this, I was not sure about committing myself to the effort of attending a 5-day workshop... I had my questions about the nature and content of the program. But now, having participated and 'graduated' from this workshop, I will not stop at just ‘recommending’ others to attend this workshop, but I would actively persuade everyone to 'experience' it.

All of us in our lives are exposed to cultures, beliefs and practices – and most of us either follow them blindly or challenge them, but few take the time to actually understand the reasons behind these complex concepts.

Even if one person in the family attends Medha Jananam workshop, it will benefit the family as a whole. It is a must workshop for all those who want to understand people who are close to them and also people in their office. It will help everyone to a very large extent to understand their and others limitations too. That would eventually help us to accept our limitations and accept other limitations and try to work around the problem which arises in everyday life.

Some of the concepts may sound abstract, but as time passes by the concepts sink in and you will be able to understand things in a better way.

I liked the "Colors" concept which explains the various mentalities of human beings. After attending 2 days of colors, I could easily make out others' color which helps in understanding them and act accordingly. ... This is my favorite session as I learnt how to improve myself and started trying to understand others and their behaviors in different situations. This session makes everyone open-up and share their experiences.

Although I feel I don't believe in God, I always liked abstract concepts and philosophical concepts. We attended the introduction class which I really liked. However, it took almost 2 years for me to make some time and spare 5 weekends. But I feel that these were one of the best 5 weekends in the recent times.

Coming to Medhajananam, before I go into more detail, I really was awestruck with the slides, the flow of content and the ease with which the students can intertwine different topics. Keeping ~300 slides in such an order is not an easy task.
