About
Neo Krish Online is a small firm founded in January, 2009 in Puducherry, South India with am aim to put in action the theory of Karma Yoga (that I have been learning from various sources).
For those who do not want to go too much with philosophical and unusual first person 'about us' page of a company, here is a gist of what the company is providing:
-
Web development
Open Drops is the service name under which Neo Krish Online operates the web development services. Our team is specialized in Drupal development and offer all web solutions based on Drupal CMS.
-
Handicrafts promotion
With a small but expert team consisting of people who have experience in handicraft sector for more than 20 years, we are working on to push the Indian handicrafts / artisans to the internet medium. Ganeshacrafts.com is the main commercial site and various projects related to handicrafts are planned to off-shoot from there.
Now, for the more patient....
I learned the essence of sattvic life and karma yoga from M. during my self-imposed exile. The seeds that M. had sown in my heart grew at it's own pace no matter how much my proximity with M. decreased. The desire for money, reputation, freedom and peacefulness in life are not always complementary to one another in life and I learned that seeking one of these many times lead to absence of the rest.
Like Gurucharan Das, I found many of the answers to the mundane selfishness, jealously, hatred et al in the Indian Epic Mahabharatha, especially in the Bhagavat Geeta chapter. During the weeks before I started Neo Krish Online, I was absorbed with reading Bhagavat Geeta and the name of the company comes from one of the 108 names of Lord Krishna.
During the same time, I also read a few books from Chinamayanda Mission on Vedanta which insisted that to see a real change in society businessmen have to be the most dharmic people, as they have more power than an ordinary person. To put in other words, adharmic businessmen do more harm than any ordinary adharmic person. I read and reread those lines and loved the thought behind those words. "With great power, comes great responsibility", the famous lines from Spiderman struck my mind.
In this background, I started Neo Krish Online during January, 2009, with lots of ideas and questions and a small light from Bhagavat Gita. Two years have already passed as of now while I am writing this page. Numerous incidents have strengthened and shaken my understanding of Karma Yoga. With no previous experience in handling any of the business stuff, except being an able drupal developer to tackle day-to-day tasks of a web developer, handling many of the scenarios and taking decisions were challenging both financially and morally. I learned in the process and am still learning...
From a commercial point of view, Neo Krish Online is a company that excels in providing various web solutions and has some interesting initiatives to promote handicraft business in the web. However, the more interesting side of Neo Krish Online is the dharmic purpose that I am discovering. For me, Neo Krish Online is my dharmic experiment to lead a Karma Yogic life in a world that is hungry for everything (myself included) and it's what that keeps me thrilled!
I dedicate the fruit of my work to my mothers, fathers, gurus and gods! (all in plural with purpose)
