"The World is as you are,
not as it appears"
“TEJ GYAN FOUNDATION is a unique enlightening endeavor which designs and delivers
transformational programs globally. TGF is a school of thought, active for the past 17 years.
TGF is a treasure trove of hundreds of books and CDs and thousands of thought provoking
conversations on life, lakshya and liberation the “The Applied Wisdom Training’s” are a
corporatization of these gems.
TGF training programs are called as The Applied Wisdom Training’s which are actually myth-
busters, finding the missing links, challenging the wrong beliefs and breaking the myths is
the modus operandi. The food for thought is packed and delivered through various
instructions, interactions, and intervention. The intention is of creating new possibilities in
untapped areas beyond routine training’s. It's a break away from the routine
communications, leadership or productivity workshops. A venture into core values of
human beings viz love, harmony and happiness which enables individuals to strike the right
balance in personal and professional life. For e.g. you can teach an executive presentation
skills. Still better transform his fearful attitude. But best would be to make him dissolves his
beliefs that limit him and get him to see the wisdom that all humans are equal and unique.
This would bring about fabulous results in his presentation skills and that too permanently.
Wisdom is experienced knowledge. Its knowing your self or your source, opening new
possibilities and operating from higher levels of consciousness. It is that understanding
which helps us do a self encounter of our limiting beliefs, helps in the self enquiry of our
vision and support us in the self expression of our feelings.

Introduction Five facets of stress

Have you been in stress for long and have tried

everything and nothing seems to be working.
Maybe, you have tried yoga or relaxation,
music or games and nothing seems to be
working. There are five root causes of stress.
How the mind perceives things causes or
reduces stress.
A simple example is that of a porter (coolie) and
a weightlifter. Both perform the same activity of
lifting the weights, but one is stressed and the
other enjoys.
Stress cannot be quick fixed as it gets
suppressed and comes back strongly. Many
recommend dancing or walking or playing, but
the root cause is the mind who perceives
The permanent solution is to understand the
source of stress and how it works.
We need shifting's not solutions in dealing with

An increasing time squeeze human resources
Many working adults in families have difficulty
providing the ordinary daily attention needed for the
well-being of family members, including themselves.
Family pressures
Families face difficulties, since parents at work must
often leave children alone, with serious
consequences for their safety, health, learning,
supervision, and nurturance.
Spill over of stress to other social and
community institutions
Family stresses inevitably spill over into places not
designed nor sufficiently funded to deal with them-
schools, social service agencies, police, courts, and
religious institutions - creating institutional overload
and additional stress for their employees.
High costs of turnover, absenteeism, and lost
investments in human resources
Employers with workforce facing difficulties at home

workers seek more accommodating arrangements
or even leave the workforce altogether.
