Dharmaraj on Volunteering

Dharmaraj Solanki, 30, works with the India Welfare Trust, an organisation that promotes citizenship, philanthropy and volunteering in India. Volunteering has been a major part of Dharmaraj’s life right from a very young age. It is therefore no coincidence that he personifies the wonderful meaning of his name – Dharmaraj. The opening word of the Celestial Song, Bhagwad Gita is “Dharmakshetra” – and Dharmaraj is leading the way of Dharma with every Karma. Dharmaraj’s contagious smiles throughout the conversation reminds me of what “Little Prince” Author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry “Care granted to the sick, welcome offered to the banished, forgiveness itself are worth nothing without a smile enlightening the deed.” Perhaps that is exactly why he says his name is as good as his job description – that’s a powerful thought to live by. Why is it important to read the scriptures, what is faith vacuum, why is non-clinical mental health so prevalent, how volunteering helps you overcome the most difficult challenges of life, and why he prefers to be in a BE-school rather than a B-school – tune into this convo to enrich your BE-ing.
