A program manager told Sriram Iyer it would take 6 to 9 months to ship the first slice of their new product. Sriram challenged the team to do it in just five days. At first, they laughed. Then he rolled his sleeves up, dug in with the team, and they did it. 5 days, from Monday to Friday. Sriram has spent his career walking into companies like Salesforce, Adobe, and Freshworks, and pulling timelines apart. He calls himself the simplifier in chief, and the secret isn't the AI tooling. It's everything underneath the AI tooling that most leaders won't actually do. That's what make teams trust, and follow, him. In this episode, Sriram breaks down exactly how that five-day sprint worked, including: The "thinnest slice of pizza" principle that kills scope creep before it starts Why AI made it possible — but isn't really the point How to find the team members in any org who are actually ready to just make stuff happen — and why mindset matters more than tooling And why none of this works without trust, prioritization, taste, and an executive willing to get in the weeds and take personal responsibility for the outcome Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sriramviyer/ Follow LaunchPod on YouTube We have a new YouTube page!

Let's talk about building a positive workplace culture. What does it take to build a workplace where people truly own their work — not just show up for it? Anusha Iyer, Founder and CEO of Corsha, joins Toni to share the unfiltered journey from software engineer to CTO to CEO — and the leadership philosophy that underpins everything she's built along the way. Corsha secures machine-to-machine communications for the operational systems that run our world, from AI agents to robotic controllers in critical infrastructure. It's deep tech solving some of the most important and underprotected problems in cybersecurity today. But this conversation isn't just about technology. It's about ownership culture, the realities of founding a company as a woman, how to pivot without destroying your team, and why joy at work isn't a soft concept — it's a strategic one. Anusha also gets into the AI thread that's running through every organisation right now: why diverse voices need to be shaping these tools while the models are still being trained, and why using AI as an assistant rather than a replacement is a leadership decision, not just a preference. What we cover: The real financial and personal cost of starting a startup — and why it's worth it How to make strategic pivots without flip-flopping and exhausting your team The power of saying no — to customers, to money, to scope creep Building a positive workplace culture through ownership: the Joy at Work framework The CTO-to-CEO transition: what changes, what doesn't, and the vulnerability that makes it work Why the E in CEO stands for evangelist — and what that means for how you lead Communication training for the whole team, not just the C-suite AI as an assistant, not a replacement — and why women need to be in these tools now The 100% job spec problem — and the mindset shift women need to make Why diverse voices matter in AI training right now, while it still counts Connect with Anusha and Corhsa: https://corsha.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anusha-iyer/ Resources mentioned in this episode Read the book Joy At Work by Dennis W.

On a recent wintry afternoon in Manhattan, Stephan Crump was doing what he has done countless times in the city—toting his upright bass, clad in a heavy black bag, along the sidewalk, as if he had a baby that was also a bear. Finding his car, Crump shimmied the instrument through the minivan's side, climbed into the front seat, exhaled, and then grinned. In less than 24 hours, he would fly to Portland to teach “On Magnetism,” a long-accreting class on connecting more deeply with yourself and others through your instrument, and to play solo at the city's jazz festival. But he knew he first needed to make the 40-minute trek from Brooklyn to Finlay + Gage, the legendary bass shop in Tribeca, to have his bass adjusted, so that he could make that connection himself. The sound post—that stout wooden dowel inside the bass that keeps it from collapsing on itself, and that the French call l'âme, or the soul—wasn't sitting quite right. “It's so personal, elusive, and mysterious. Yes, it's a mechanical thing, but it has so much mojo to it. That's why it's called ‘the soul,'” Crump explained several days later from Portland, noting that the hassle of the errand had been worth it. The bass felt good in his hands again. “It's this combination of sound and feel.” For a quarter-century now, pairing sound and feel have become Crump's ambit and expertise. A bassist and composer, collaborator and bandleader, Crump has become one of New York's most steadfast and experienced instrumentalists. He was the anchor of Vijay Iyer's foundational trio for 20 years, even as he developed a slew of imaginative ensembles of his own—the two-guitar Rosetta Trio, the Borderlands Trio alongside Kris Davis and Eric McPherson, the Secret Keeper duo with Mary Halvorson, just to sample. In all of these contexts, the act of bringing the rest of his life to the bass—the trauma and hope, the frustration and delight—remains Crump's primary motivation. It is, if you will, the soul of his playing. “All art is an expression of the artist's presence in that moment. Musicians need our evolving physical capabilities on the instrument and technical knowledge—how notes interact harmonically and melodically, transcribing our heroes, learning all that,” Crump said. “But in the act of making music, we need to allow that stuff to fall away, to not impose it on the music, to relinquish our defenses. We are sculpting energy as we make music, shaping magnetism.” In some ways, Crump's career is the fulfillment of his father's own youthful ambition. His dad toyed with turning pro as a jazz drummer, but he pursued architecture instead. (That's also how he met Crump's mother, who comes from a long line of French architects.) His devotion to jazz, though, didn't waver, and he would constantly play jazz classics—Monk, Miles, Coltrane, MJQ—in the family's Memphis home. Crump thinks that's where he fell for the bass, especially when the low-end would creep through old wooden walls at night. At his mother's behest, though, Crump's training started with piano, the Suzuki Method leading him through the classics and eventually to his all-time musical hero, Stevie Wonder. But at 13, Crump finally got his first bass, a MapleGlo Rickenbacker 4001 like that of another hero, Yes' Chris Squire. He joined a crackling power trio with his brother, later enlisted in a larger band, and then started his own group; they all gigged hard. Backpacking through Spain by himself after high school, however, he encountered an epiphany by the name of Dave Holland, playing in his mighty and future-facing quartet. The upright bass: That was Crump's future. His first was a dilapidated plywood model, collecting dust in a corner of Amherst College, where he'd in part gone to escape family turmoil down south. He'd intended to study physics and music, but he soon realized that his energy and enthusiasm belonged with the latter. That was helped along by a guitarist pal Crump met during his first few weeks at Amherst. He had connections in the West Village. Crump had the car. (“The bassist,” he half-joked, “always has the car.”) Most every week, they would drive the four hours south, link with high-caliber New York pros they'd hired, play until 2 a.m. or so, and head back to school. “That was really powerful and clarifying. It was thrilling to be 18 and gigging in New York. I got a taste for that level of musicianship, and I was doing more than just cutting it,” he said, smiling. “By the end of my first semester, I knew I was moving to New York as soon as I graduated.” That is precisely what Crump did. He used his paycheck from a month-long, fresh-out-of-college stint with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra to rent his first Brooklyn apartment in 1994. He dove right in, roving the West Village with his bass, listening, and joining late-night jams that ended with the sun's arrival. He'd seal his shades with tape, sleep, and repeat. Crump, though, bristled at the scene's pervasive machismo, how some of the city's most vaunted players would put up walls to prevent revealing too much of themselves through their music. That's actually what he craved. Crump found others who shared his ardor, earnestness, and a belief in what jazz could show of and to a person. Those people, like saxophonists Chris Cheek and Miguel Zenón, helped shape his first albums. There was film score work and sessions and stages alongside singer-songwriters. In these concentric creative circles, he met a young singer, Jen Chapin, and fell in love. They got married in September 1999. After five years, the existence Crump had imagined for himself as a New York musician was happening. “My goal from the start was to come to New York and make a life in music—to make music that I loved, to learn and grow with amazing musicians,” said Crump. “I never set out to be a rock star, a jazz star. I just wanted to make music—real, deep, honest shit, you know?” Actually, Crump flirted with something at least like “jazz stardom” during a 20-year stint in Vijay Iyer's trio. Iyer cold-called Crump soon after moving to New York in 1999, on a friend's recommendation. They spent the next 20 years building the band into one of modern jazz's most successful units. It was a tremendous trip, of course, but it was again clarifying for Crump, revealing the sorts of bands he wanted to build outside of the Iyer orbit. He steadily realized that traditional jazz ensembles were not his preferred vehicle. The bass could get lost, its role restricted. And the power dynamics with such a clear and visible leader created an environment of dominance (again, often masculine) that he hoped to avoid. “Control and bravado keep you from deeper layers of experience and expression,” he said. “When you find yourself with a group of people who are willing to at least attempt ego dissolution and real communion, you have the opportunity for transcendence. You open a portal for each other and the audience—that's a service to society.” Crump has found those connections in so many contexts, emptying his feelings into his diverse ensembles. Rosetta Trio's bittersweet groove, for instance, emerged from little Fender Rhodes fragments he compiled in the months after watching 9/11 unfold with Jen from their Brooklyn roof. Open Wide, his 2002 set of duets with her, are intimate and entangled portraits of marriage's first few difficult, delightful years. The music of Rhombal—his celebrated quartet with Tyshawn Sorey, Adam O'Farrill, Ellery Eskelin—unfolded after the death of his brother, Patrick, the one who first brought him into a band back in Memphis. And Slow Water, his latest project built with a drum-less sextet of fascinating New York artists, hinges on the Memphis native's experiences with bodies of water around the world, his lifelong love of nature, and his worry about and hope for our collective future. “The acoustic bass is almost infinite as an instrument, sonically and expressively, but so much of that can get covered up in a traditional ensemble,” he said, turning toward his duos with saxophonist Steve Lehman and guitarist Mary Halvorson. “Those experiences gave me so much more room to explore the terrain of the instrument, its possibilities. That pushes you. It's the kind of scary environment you want to put yourself in.” When Crump talks about and teaches music, he doesn't discuss notes. Or rather, they are only the beginning, the technical basis for something that can and should be something much richer. Notes are vessels that the player then fills with their experiences, their ideas, their emotions, their essence. These are gestures, at least as he has put it for many years now, the basis of the music he wants to put into and get out of the world. In some significant ways, this echoes his childhood in Memphis, where his Southern grandmother instilled the value of a story well told, and where he worked alongside his uncle building furniture—really, sculptures of wood—that they would sand until the material seemed somehow to shimmer. (Crump's music stand was made by his uncle, Stephen.) It wasn't just an object or a story; it was a piece of work you invested yourself in until it became art. “A note is an abstract notion, meaningless without all of the human, spiritual stuff you can channel into it,” Crump said. “A gesture has the physical element, a sense of offering, a reflection of our presence through each unfolding moment.”

Mamata in Big Trouble | Trump wants to Exit Iran | Tsunami in Assam | Abhijit Iyer Mitra
Eighty years after Indian independence, the economic fingerprint of British colonial rule is still visible at the district level. Two institutions in particular left scars: whether a district was governed directly by British administrators or by one of India's roughly 680 Indian princes, and what kind of land tax arrangement the British put in place. For example, by 1991, directly ruled districts had nine percentage points fewer middle schools and a 20-percentage-point lower probability of having a road than areas under indirect rule. The question was whether those gaps would eventually close.Lakshmi Iyer of the University of Notre Dame tells Tim Phillips that by 2011 infrastructure gaps had closed completely. Targeted post-independence programmes, including the Minimum Needs Program of the 1970s and the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan of 2001, pushed schools, health centres, and roads towards underserved districts. The picture for land tenure is mixed. Areas that historically had landlord-based systems are still 17% behind non-landlord areas in wheat yields, and the gap in fertiliser use has widened rather than narrowed. One reason, the policy response was a universal subsidy rather than being specifically aimed at places that had fallen behind.So colonial legacies can be erased, but only by policies designed to reach the places that were left behind. When policies have equalisation built in, historical gaps disappear. When they do not, the gaps persist.The research behind this episode:Iyer, Lakshmi and Coleson Weir. 2025.

Baz Iyer (Vulcan) and Stephen Lloyd (Savills Earth) join us to talk about the likely impact of the UK's long-awaited Future Homes Standard (FHS) and, perhaps more importantly, the Home Energy Model (HEM).HEM is the new model that will inform the UK's Energy Performance Certification (EPC) rating system. It's much more detailed in terms of the information that it demands about the buildings it is being used to rate, and therefore much more demanding of the assessors.But this means that it can be much more useful for modelling the energy performance of buildings because it will better reflect how the building will be experienced by its users. It won't be perfect but the level of detail that it demands means that homeowners may be able to use EPCs to make meaningful decisions about how to improve the buildings in which they live. This also means that, in time, it is conceivable that HEM can become a design tool in the same way designers use PHPP to predict performance and calibrate design. That's certainly what Baz is planning and why he and Stephen have been interrogating the place HEM will occupy in the UK construction sector, the impact it might have on its culture, and the opportunity that its adoption will open up.If anyone needs some help getting to grips with this I'd recommend they connect with Baz, he's very friendly and well-informed.Notes from the showBaz Iyer on LinkedInStephen Lloyd on LinkedIn The Vulcan websiteThe Savills Earth websiteVulcan on LinkedInOld ZAP #1 - 'Incompetence still reigns supreme' in energy ratings: DPE certification, EPCs, BERs, and a little bit of ESGOld ZAP #2 - ZAP Shady business #1 – overheating, and Camden: we should think about solar gain all year round, with Zoe De Grussa (BBSA)**SOME SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**We don't actually earn anything from this podcast, and it's quite a lot of work, so we have to promote the day jobs.Follow us on the Zero Ambitions LinkedIn page (we still don't have a proper website)Jeff and Dan about Zero Ambitions Partners (the consultancy) for help with positioning and communications strategy, customer/user research and engagement strategy, carbon calculations and EPDs – we're up to all sortsSubscribe and advertise with Passive House Plus (UK edition here too)Check Lloyd Alter's Substack: Carbon UpfrontJoin ACANJoin the AECB Join the IGBCCheck out Her Retrofit Space, the renovation and retrofit platform for women**END OF SELF-PROMOTING CALLS TO ACTION**

Let yourself be drawn into the world of one of the most prolific, shape- shifting presences in 21st century music. Vijay Iyer is a Grammy-nominated composer, pianist, bandleader, and the Franklin D. and Florence Rosenblatt Professor of the Arts at Harvard University. He is a MacArthur Fellow, described by The New York Times as “a social conscience, multimedia collaborator, system builder, rhapsodist, historical thinker and multicultural gateway.” In a profound conversation, Vijay Iyer takes us on a journey of discovery, into what embodied cognition truly means and where music begins. He invites us to explore the extraordinary phenomenon of synchrony: how musicians lock into pulse together, and how an entire audience can exhale as one at the close of a performance. Iyer speaks of live music as a form of ritual, a collective agreement to step out of everyday life and into something else, together. He also reflects with great warmth on his collaborations with artists such as the drummer Tyshawn Sorey and the legendary trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, describing the deep listening, humility, and compassion that make their music possible. He opens our eyes to think deeply about jazz, “not as style of music but an act of freedom.” Music, he insists, should truly be listened to as a human action, asking ourselves who made it, where they were, and how they found each other. This episode is a powerful and loving reminder that music is, first and foremost, a live, shared, visceral, mutually embodied experience, and that within it lies the recognition of a deep longing we carry always: to come back to the experience of that timeless space where two souls meet in the act of listening.

Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular condition where abnormal connections (fistulas) form between branches of arteries and veins in the dura mater, the brain's covering. The dural arteries deliver high-pressure, oxygen-rich blood to the brain, while the dural veins return deoxygenated, low-pressure blood to the heart. DAVF causes high-pressure arterial blood to flow into veins or sinuses meant for low-pressure blood, which can lead to ruptures, brain hemorrhages, and other neurological issues.Meet Dr. Aditya (Adi) Iyer, a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in vascular diseases of the brain and spine at Pacific Neuroscience Institute®. As one of California's few dual-trained neurosurgeons, Dr. Iyer offers both minimally invasive open surgical techniques and incisionless catheter-based procedures to treat strokes, aneurysms, AVMs, tumors, and pain.

AI is pushing knowledge work toward a world where “leaders manage agents”—and eventually, where some management functions themselves are handled by AI. Shweta Kamble and Hari Iyer (founders of HaloVision) unpack that future and demo what it looks like today: an AI “third-party” that runs confidential 1:1-style conversations with employees, synthesizes themes into quantified “case files,” and creates a bidirectional channel between executives and the org.00:00 - Intro01:02 — “Undercover Boss” analogy: AI can surface ground-truth operational fixes at scale.02:01 — “No ICs anymore”: the shift to managing armies of agents.03:06 — AI can outperform average managers at listening, context, and coaching—at scale.04:47 — Introducing Halo Vision: management + AI as a core intersection.05:19 — What Halo does: confidential 1:1 conversations, analyzed into exec-ready insights.06:00 — Key difference: not a suggestion box—Halo quantifies impact and outcomes.06:36 — 1:1 controversy (e.g., “don't do 1:1s”) and why time cost matters.08:11 — Third-party confidentiality: why employees share more with Halo than internal tools.09:30 — SurveyMonkey comparison: blending “survey + 1:1 + executive alignment.”10:50 — Feedback loop requirement: employees must believe feedback leads to change.12:06 — Founders' backgrounds (Zoom AI/data products; CS/product design; Cisco ventures).16:28 — Building Halo = “several companies in one”: auditing, privacy, PM estimation, infra.18:03 — “Telephone game” across agents: why infra/evals matter for compound accuracy.19:47 — Defining evals: correctness, reasoning tests, summarization/synthesis checks.23:32 — Concrete eval example: summaries must trace back to transcript evidence.27:03 — Added complexity: longitudinal context and time relevance (“6 months ago may not matter”).30:39 — Prompt → context engineering: getting the right info to the model at the right time.32:16 — Why off-the-shelf tools weren't enough: auditability and tracing across abstraction layers.37:18 — Live demo setup: Halo's internal “case file” view with quantified issues.38:01 — Example case files: exec jumping into low-level decisions; burn rate + delay cost estimates.41:16 — Live call begins: confidentiality disclaimer + agenda choices.41:50 — Halo's questioning style: reflective, probing, tailored follow-ups.46:17 — Positioning: Halo doesn't replace 1:1s—it makes them more effective and focused.47:00 — What they're excited about next year: science/research advances + shifting human work.Tools & technologies mentionedHalo Vision — AI “third-party” that conducts confidential employee conversations, synthesizes insights into quantified exec recommendations, and helps align understanding across the org.Evaluation frameworks (Evals) — Methods to test AI outputs (reasoning, summary accuracy, grounding) to prevent misleading conclusions and compounding errors in agent workflows.LLM-as-a-judge — Using an LLM to grade another model's output for correctness, grounding, or quality; often paired with other checks.Tracing / auditability / evidence links — Attaching each summary claim to specific transcript excerpts so you can prove where conclusions came from and debug errors.Speech-to-text / transcription — Converting conversations into text artifacts that can be analyzed, summarized, and traced.Fellow.ai — AI meeting assistant that joins meetings, summarizes, tracks actions/decisions, integrates with common work tools, and supports sensitive meetings with privacy/security controls.

Between The Covers : Conversations with Writers in Fiction, Nonfiction & Poetry
“When I tell you a story about my body, I cannot separate it from a story about water. And a story about water is also a story about family. And a story about family is rooted in the earth…,” opens Sangamithra Iyer’s Governing Bodies. What does it mean for a memoir to assume the elusive, ever-changing shape of water, to be the story of family but where the notion of family crosses the boundaries of blood, culture, nation and even species? Governing Bodies, as the Whiting judges said in their citation, is “a subtle, meditative exploration on grief and nonviolence, an international and intergenerational voyage through shared histories and a consideration of what we owe to each other and the natural world.” For the bonus audio archive, Sangu contributes a reading of her remarkable essay “Are You Willing?” which originally appeared in the anthology Writing for Animals: New Perspectives for Writers & Instructors to Educate & Inspire. This joins an ever-growing archive of contributions from past guests—from Richard Powers to adrienne maree brown, Forrest Gander to Arthur Sze, Natalie Diaz to Ada Limón. You can find out how to access the bonus audio and about the many other potential benefits and rewards to choose from, when you join the Between the Covers community as a listener-supporter, at the show’s Patreon page.

Crazy Crazy Trump | America vs Europe | India - UAE Pact | EU Trade Deal | Abhijit Iyer Mitra
Reading of excerpts from Dr Raghavan's essay 'Consciousness and Existence'. The full text can be found here: https://theosophytrust.org/Professor Raghavan N. Iyer (1930 -1995) was an internationally known philosopher, political theorist, and spiritual practitioner who devoted his life to the intellectual and spiritual uplift of human society. The only Rhodes Scholar from India in 1950 to Oxford, he secured First Class Honors in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and later earned a D. Phil. Degree in moral and political philosophy. He was professor of political philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 21 years.His message is that a renewed humankind is now emerging, and his writings address the causes of the global situation, the nature of this evolution, and the manner in which individuals can participate fully in this collective transformation.Dr Iyer was a practitioner and member of the Theosophical Foundation and wrote that:"Initiation into Theosophical metaphysics is more than an intellectual or moral enterprise; it is a continuous spiritual exercise in the development of intuitive and cognitive capacities that are the highest available to humans, a process that includes from the first a blending of the head and the heart through the interaction of viveka and vairagya, discrimination and detachment.
The SHOCKING Truth About India's Civic Sense Problem | Abhijit Iyer Mitra, Sushant Sareen, AKTK
In this episode of the "Get Your FILL" podcast, host Christine McCarron (age 62) welcomes Dr. Ravi Iyer, a 67-year-old Harvard-trained physician and longevity expert running a clinic in Virginia. Dr. Iyer, also known for his viral TEDx talks (including the most viewed of 2024 with millions of views on intentional focus), discusses groundbreaking advances in regenerative medicine and longevity. He emphasizes that while birth and death are fixed, the quality of life in between—functionality—is highly modifiable. Most people experience a long decline after age 40, but modern approaches can help maintain high function (75-90%+) until a sharp drop at the end, ideally dying peacefully in sleep rather than a prolonged decline.
We gorge ourselves on the internet, smartphones, social media, information overload — all of it constantly sap us of our emotional and intellectual vitality. Authors Pico Iyer and Jonathan Haidt argue it's vital we disconnect from our addictive online world to pursue a fulfilling, and richer life. By curtailing the noise of technology, media and other worldly distractions there's space to reconnect with the things that matter. "Humans were never designed to live at a pace determined by machines. The only way we could begin to do that is by becoming machines ourselves," says Iyer. Pico Iyer and Jonathan Haidt were two of the marquee speakers at the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival. The theme this year was 'What Makes Life Good.'
In this insightful episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with Vivek Iyer, an internationally recognized executive coach and principal of Swanvesha Executive Coaching. The Significance of Swanvesha: Derived from Sanskrit, "Swanvesha" means "self-enquiry," embodying the fundamental principle of coaching — that true, lasting solutions arise from introspection and focusing on what lies within one's control. Vivek shares his journey from corporate strategist to certified coach, offering valuable perspectives on how coaching can transform physician leaders facing the unique challenges of healthcare leadership. With extensive experience in strategic planning and process improvement at firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, and A.C. Nielsen, Vivek offers a unique global perspective, shaped by his experiences living in four countries and fluency in six languages. Whether you are considering working with a coach, curious about its transformative impact, or seeking to understand how strategic planning and facilitation can strengthen healthcare organizations, this episode delivers practical wisdom and actionable strategies for leaders at every stage of their journey.

Writer Pico Iyer stumbled into a lifelong practice of periodic retreat and reflection after he lost nearly everything in a 1990 wildfire that burned his family's house down. A friend suggested that he recuperate at a Benedictine monastery near Big Sur, California, and the calm he found there was life-altering. He began returning to the oceanside hermitage regularly, and slowing down became a fundamental part of his life and productive career. In this talk from the 2025 Aspen Ideas Festival, Iyer shares what those times of silence have given him, and how he's learned to navigate tumult while always coming back to peace. Iyer's latest book is “Aflame: Learning from Silence,” and he's also the author of “The Half Known Life” and “The Art of Stillness,” among several other books and many essays.

Reading of excerpts from Dr Raghavan's essay 'The Eye of Self Existence'. The full text can be found here: https://theosophytrust.org/944-eye-of-self-existenceProfessor Raghavan N. Iyer (1930 -1995) was an internationally known philosopher, political theorist, and spiritual practitioner who devoted his life to the intellectual and spiritual uplift of human society. The only Rhodes Scholar from India in 1950 to Oxford, he secured First Class Honors in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and later earned a D. Phil. Degree in moral and political philosophy. For eight years, he was Fellow and Lecturer in Politics at St. Anthony's College, Oxford, then Visiting Professor at the Universities of Oslo, Ghana and Chicago, and lectured at the College of Europe in Belgium, the Erasmus Seminar in Holland, and at Harvard, Bowdoin, Berkeley, U.C.L.A., Rand Corporation and the California Institute of Technology. He was professor of political philosophy at the University of California, Santa Barbara for 21 years.His message is that a renewed humankind is now emerging, and his writings address the causes of the global situation, the nature of this evolution, and the manner in which individuals can participate fully in this collective transformation.Dr Iyer was a practitioner and member of the Theosophical Foundation and wrote that:"Initiation into Theosophical metaphysics is more than an intellectual or moral enterprise; it is a continuous spiritual exercise in the development of intuitive and cognitive capacities that are the highest available to humans, a process that includes from the first a blending of the head and the heart through the interaction of viveka and vairagya, discrimination and detachment. Even our initial apprehension of a statement of Theosophical metaphysics involves an ethical as well as mental effort, just as even the smallest application of a Theosophical injunction to our moral life requires some degree of mental control and the deeper awareness, universal and impersonal in nature, that comes from our higher cognitive capacities. Moral growth, for a Theosophist, presupposes “the silent worship of abstract or noumenal Nature, the only divine manifestation”, that is “the one ennobling religion of Humanity.”
