How Conversations Can Create History | Swami Brahmaviharidas | TEDxTampa

Описание: What if the next conversation you have with your family, friends, or colleagues could create history? What if shaping the world is not just dependent upon groundbreaking inventions, epic wars, or extraordinary discoveries, but simply fine-tuning the everyday conversations we have? Swami Brahmaviharidas explores the incredible power of ordinary dialogues, revealing how three simple conversations paved the way for the creation of the world's first Hindu temple in the Middle East in the history of humanity – a landmark regarded by world leaders as one tangible historic step towards peace. Through engaging stories of conversations held in lonely deserts, open corridors, and royal palaces, this talk illustrates how even the smallest interactions can ignite monumental change, redefine history, and foster global harmony.

Swami Brahmaviharidas is redefining what it means to lead in the modern world. Spiritually gifted, he is globally revered for spearheading the creation of the historic and iconic BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi—humanity’s first traditional stone Hindu temple in the Middle East. Respected by global leaders as a thought-provoking thinker, speaker and changemaker, he is valued for his work, vision and wisdom.

As a core leader for BAPS, he has helped create generational projects, from London’s Neasden Temple to the Swaminarayan Akshardham complexes in India and the USA.

A senior monk and head of international relations, Swami Brahmaviharidas serves under the guidance of HH Mahant Swami Maharaj, head of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha. His visionary leadership and compassionate service, continue to inspire universal harmony in the hearts and minds of everyone he meets.
