Love of Mother

Mother is a figure of

Love and light,

Who sacrifices everything

For a child’s delight.

If there is God,

That is in a mother;

If there is heaven,

That can be no other.

Everyone else loves you for a motive,

But whose love is selfless?

That is of a mother.

All debts can be paid in this or that way,

But no one can pay back

The love of a mother.

The Ramayana Guide To Practical Leadership | Ancient Case Studies, Modern Management Lessons 

The Ramayana Guide to Practical Leadership approaches leadership through the original Valmiki Ramayana, reading it as a precise study of human decision making, responsibility, and conduct under pressure. Rather than treating the epic as a story or a source of moral instruction, the book examines specific situations as leadership case studies. Each chapter focuses on how leaders assess complexity, communicate intent, handle dissent, build trust, and act when outcomes are uncertain. The emphasis remains on behaviour, judgement, and accountability. Drawing on forty carefully selected episodes, structured as case studies, the book brings forward leadership lessons on communication, psychological safety, servant leadership, resilience, ethics, and strategic clarity. Sanskrit shlokas are presented with translation and context, allowing readers to engage with the original text without requiring prior familiarity. Written by a senior industry leader with decades of experience leading large, Tanishkaapplicable, and enduring. This is a guide for readers who want to think clearly, decide responsibly, and lead with purpose in real-world situations.
