The first step will start with change from oneself. There is a lot of unknown or hidden part of our mind. We have to come out and above it. According to Western assumption, it is dark. Indian assumption is that it is sacred and lit by its own light. To reach that level there are many difficulties, hardships that will result in diversions. There are temptations galore on way. But the end is pure bliss. We have to start with the first step on the road.

There is a story from Puranas. Hiranyaksha was a demon and was harassing all people. He was not controllable by any. Everyone was at their wits end. People did not know what to do. They went to Lord Vishnu and requested him to end their plight. Lord Vishnu agreed to help the people. He decided to take the guise of a Boar. With that disguise he ended the anarchy of Hiranyaksha.

Lord Mahesh saw Lord Vishnu in his Boar guise. He requested him to come back to Heaven. Lord Vishnu was not ready to come back. He wanted to remain as Boar only. Then Lord Mahesh aimed an arrow at Lord Vishnu in his Boar guise. He pierced entire body by his arrow and retrieved the original Lord Vishnu in that body and then Lord Vishnu in the original form returned to Heaven.

We have to keep it in mind that each one of us has this original body of Vishnu and by that way one can keep oneself and raise all his surrounding people on the higher level of fulfilment. To ignite this idea in the minds of Indian Managers that all of us are children of Light and to encourage them to travel on this desirable path is the method of Indian Darsanas.
