Joint Meeting With

Minutes of Meeting Triumphing over tragedy An alumna of St. Xavier’s College, Bombay, postgraduate from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, a Fulbright Scholar, successful businesswoman, dedicated social worker, prolific writer, Padma Shri awardee and former member of the Rajya Sabha, our guest speaker Mrs Anu Aga is well known in Pune for her dedication to various social causes. Mrs Aga’s talk on “Embracing life through the experience of death” revealed her strength and resilience in overcoming person al tragedies and achieving inner peace and harmony through social service. Following the death of her husband, she took over the reins of the Thermax Group, which provides a range of engineering solutions to the energy and environment sectors, in 1997. After retiring as chairperson and managing director in 2004, she focused her formidable energies on social causes, primarily with NGOs such as The Akanksha Foundation, a non-profit organisation with a mission to provide children from low-income communities with a high-quality education, and as the founder chairperson of “Teach for India”. Despite several personal tragedies — the death of her five-month-old daughter 55 years ago, her husband Rohinton passing away at age 60, and then losing another son Kurush in a tragic car accident — Mrs Aga realised that she could not change her destiny, and to guard against self-pity she would have to change her outlook on life and death. Recognising that “the only certainty in life is death,” she took up the study of Vipasana and got in touch with her inner feelings. Gradually, the understanding dawned that God is not partial to anyone, and that “true love means letting go”, and that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional. Her courage, inner strength and resilience enabled her to triumph over tragedy and to convert personal trials into triumphs. Her story was truly an inspiration for us all.
