After years of physical pain, mental anguish and addictions, Bhava Ram, an accomplished journalist injured beyond repair, was inspired and brought back from the brink of no return by three simple words of his son: "Get up, Daddy." It was the tipping point in Ram's life to immerse himself in the mantra of "mind, body and spirit." Practicing yoga and relying on the forces of positive thinking, Ram's experience teaches us that anchoring ourselves in positive motion will allow the world will rise up to meet us.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
