With over 162 Million individuals pledging their support, Rally for Rivers is the largest ecological movement in the world to date.

Three stars only because there's a popular Youtube video of this exact lecture.
Quotes :
---------
“How many joyful faces do you see on the street? Very, very few, isn't it so? If you see any, usually they are young faces.”
“If you look at your generation, never before another generation of people have been this comfortable and this well physically as you are right now, isn't it? No other generation has known these kinds of comforts and conveniences…”
“Only when a person begins to experience a dimension beyond the physical within himself, then he can play with the physical world whichever way he wants - he can do the best that he can do in the outside world - but the interiority is undisturbed.”
“Our lives become beautiful not because we are perfect. Our lives become beautiful because we put our heart into what we are doing.”
“Everybody aspires. Who is not aspiring for success in the world? Even a beggar on the street is trying to be a successful beggar, isn't it so?”
“Right now, the whole Isha Foundation with hundreds of centers in India and outside the country is run by young people…very young people, without any qualifications, they are such fantastic managers.”
“…Fundamentally management is your ability to inspire people to do their best… This is only going to come with dedication, this is only going to come with love, this is only going to come because you are willing to give yourself a hundred percent to the person who is sitting next to you at that moment.”
“If you just learn how to touch the very core of a human being who is around you right now, you will see everybody is willing to lay their lives down for you.”
“Our lives become beautiful not because of what we do, our lives become beautiful simply because we have included everybody around us as a part of our dream of well being.”

Note well, from your own personal experience, that you are aware of two worlds; the external world, of which your physical body is a part and the internal world of thoughts, emotions and desires, whose existence the others may not be aware of, but whose presence you cannot deny. In the playground of your mind there are two streams, the stream of thoughts and the stream of consciousness which illumines them. All are aware of their thoughts and readily identify with them; but, none are aware of the light of consciousness which illumines them and with which alone they should be identifying themselves. That Thou Art! You are the Seer of the Seen! You are the Knower of the Known! You are the Thinker of the Thought!
While sleeping and dreaming, when your eyes are closed, in what light are your dreams illumined? Do you see your dreams in black and white, or colour? The illuminator has to be different from the object it illumines! You have just been introduced to an entity whose presence you had never suspected before and whose existence you cannot deny and which is not different from your own self.
This is an accomplishment, which also becomes a favourite pastime. For you, who is the operator and programmer of the mind, which is nothing more than a thinking machine or a PC, functioning at your command and the primary internal equipment you will be using to perform all tasks in the external world. Your command and control over the internal world will determine the extent of your success in the external world. Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul, which have been restored and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this- that you are the master of your thought, the moulder of your character and the maker and shaper of external conditions, environment and your destiny.

Little titbits of wisdom
The book should be a big article, with little titbits of wisdom poured here and there.
The author claims himself to be religion agnostic

An article length with very important message to manage ourselves. There is also a brief details about Isha Foundation and its establishments around the world.
Manage yourself first than managing minds that are around you. One who live life happily is no different than the person with yogic enlightenment.
