Abstract

Spiritual traditions put human existence into a broader context, and support the integration of moral values and behaviors into daily life that can create a happier and more meaningful existence. This paper contains two insightful cases. One involves a Hindu social entrepreneur, while the other concerns a Christian social entrepreneur. The basic principles of Hinduism and Christianity are described in the search for purpose, meaning and correlations between the cases. By tapping into the timeless wisdom of our human heritage we can connect with others in meaningful ways, overcome cultural, political and religious barriers, and find new ways of working together.
