Prof. Deshpande has developed a scientific framework for the excellence of the external and internal. He has articulated natural laws showing how it is possible to achieve the excellence of all external activities from wake-up time to bedtime including all that is done at work with six sigma principles. Doing so results in highest level of customer satisfaction, best quality, least cycle time, and lowest cost consistent with improved profits. Additional information on our unique six sigma expertise, experience, etc., is available at www.sixsigmaquality.com. While six sigma is essential for the excellence of the external, it is only one component of emerging as one’s best. The other component is excellence of the internal.

After four decades of scientific scrutiny and contemplation, Pradeep has developed a science of enlightenment/compassion for individual/societal transformation. The scientific framework combines several thousand years of yogic wisdom and the contributions of Western scientists. Diligent pursuit of the ideas and concepts allows individuals to transform themselves and would also lead to more compassionate nations and a more peaceful world. Some of the papers relevant to the excellence of the internal are:
