Outstanding businessman, lecturer and award-winning author, John Harricharan, is a unique blend of East and West--a truly multi-cultural, global personality. Yet, with his professional background, he also exhibits a rare sensitivity and charismatic delivery which have earned him well deserved respect and international acclaim.


However, he was to know failure as well as success. The events that led to both are incorporated in his lectures and are chronicled in his books, which, rather than being stories of loss and sadness are, instead, inspiring tales of courage, strength and the dignity of the human spirit.


John has shared the lecture platform with such well-known speakers as Deepak Chopra, Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Og Mandino, Gerald Jampolsky, Foster Hibbard, Eric Butterworth and others.


His transformational message stems from his challenging personal growth experiences. As Harricharan says, "I know what it feels like to have my car repossessed, to watch my wife die of cancer when she was only in her thirties, to lose all earthly possessions and start again from ground zero. I also know what it feels like to write award-winning books, to be written about in others' books and to be featured in the same book with His Royal Highness, Prince Philip of Great Britain, the Dalai Lama and Sir Paul McCartney. The contrasts bring compassion and sensitivity to one's life."


John brings a welcome, pragmatic approach to his lectures, as an outstanding example where the message and the messenger are one. In his lectures, he goes way beyond personal tragedies and shares with his listeners the extraordinary tools he uses to overcome challenges. He meets his audience filled with energy and enthusiasm. His approach is inspirational and motivational, contagiously so, and always, always memorable.


Not only is John Harricharan a dynamic speaker, but he also reveals himself to be an extraordinary, compelling author. His award-winning book, "When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat" was named 'Best Book of the Year' by the American Bookdealers Exchange. Its sequels, "Morning Has Been All Night Coming" and "Journey in the Fields of Forever" have drawn rave reviews. The ground-breaking "PowerPause--3 Minutes, 3 Steps to Personal Success and Real Happiness" has changed the lives of countless people all over the world.


John travels extensively, speaking at seminars and consulting for corporations, organizations and a private clientele worldwide. His extensive experience coupled with his knowledge of the spiritual afford him the ability to relate to others with respect and integrity.

"When You Can Walk on Water, Take the Boat" is a triumphant journey of self-discovery that will change the very way you look at the world. Like most of us, John was an ordinary man who calmly accepted the problems of his life and career without any real hope or insight. Then a miracle happened. He met a strange, wise businessman named Gideon. It was a brief encounter, filled with mystery. But for John, it was the beginning of a soul-searching journey a joyous awakening of self-understanding, inner truth and the power of universal love that lives within us all.

We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere in a corner waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind, but the object of your study is always your own mind. The falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newto

The word Karma is derived from the Sanskrit Kri, to do; all action is Karma. Technically, this word also means the effects of actions. In connection with metaphysics, it sometimes means the effects,of which our past actions were the causes. But in Karma-Yoga we have simply to do with the word Karma as meaning work. The goal of mankind is knowledge. That is the one ideal placed before us by Eastern philosophy. Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Pleasure and happin

During this period I was scheduled to attend a business conference at a luxurious location very similar to where I now found myself. My hotel room was much like this one, opening onto a balcony separated only by a panorama of glass. I had ventured out onto the balcony and draped myself over the rail, looking toward the sea. The beauty of the scene was so overpowering that I absent-mindedly started humming an old tune.nnnSuddenly, a voice to my right said, “Intriguing melody

As our bags were being taken to our respective rooms, Marla told me that she would see Gideon and me on the balcony around dinner time in a few hours. That seemed like a good idea and would give me a chance to be alone and relax for a short while. I enjoy company tremendously but, every now and then, I have this overwhelming need for solitude — no crowds, no chatty friends, no anybody, just I, my God and myself.nnnThe room was more a suite than a regular hotel room and the

“Interesting,” I murmured,“but I never seem to be able to figure how not to get stuck in a situation.”nnn“You get stuck in a predicament when you’re too attached to outcomes. If you worry too much about how a situation will resolve itself, if you are desperate, if you are full of fear, if you try to force your way out, you get stuck.” “So don’t worry, don’t try to find a solution?

It wasn’t too long before we were riding in a colorful cab headed toward the hotel, about half an hour away. I was anxious to get to the beach and looking forward to enjoying the sun and the sea. Actually, most times at the beach, I prefer sitting under a large shady tree gazing forever at the horizon where the ocean meets the sky.nnnIt is by the sea that I hear the whisper of the universe, the songs of the stars and the melodies in the wind.

The problems of next week would have to wait until this week was done. Nothing would ruin this weekend. Lulled in comfort,I must have dozed off because the next thing I heard was Marla saying,“We should be there soon. What would you like to do when we arrive? Would you prefer to rest for a while or get involved in island life right away? It’ll be a few hours before Gideon arrives.” nnn“I’m looking forward to a wonderful weekend, Marla,” I said as I stretched and y

I sat silently for a while, gazing at Marla. She had appeared beautiful before, but now she was ravishing. She pretended not to notice as she browsed through a travel brochure, but I knew that she knew I was looking at her. nnn“Hmm . . . ,” she finally said, “if we’re going, we’d better leave soon.

“No, dear John, no instant travel this time,” she said, “no need for that now. As they say, ‘when you can walk on water, take the boat.’ We’ll use regular airline tickets —normal methods you’re familiar with. By the way, you’ll love the hotel. Right on the beach.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from John Harricharan

"Whenever problems seem to get the best of me, whenever I feel them closing in on me, I go to a quiet place that lies somewhere in my soul. I do not reason, analyze or think. Those will come later. I simply go. From this place of silence, I garner strength and inspiration to stand firm in the face of fire, to be calm in the midst of thunder. When I emerge, the world has not changed, but I have. And in changing, a whole new world is born."
--John Harricharan

-- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking."
