Ramayan I Poem By Aashka

When the world was in distress,

When there was the outcry of demons,

When there was the attack of Ravana,

Lakshmi-Narayan took an incarnation.

When every deed was without duty,

Not even the name of dharma remained.

Then, ready to be born was Janak-daughter Sita,

On One side and Dashrath-son Ram on the other.

By breaking the bow, Ram won his Seeta,

But little did they know that the trouble was yet to come.

She, who he considered his mother,

Gave him 14 years of exile in the forest.

Now Ram , Siya ( Sita ) and Lakshman have set out for exile.

Facing many hardships, this forest eventually became their home.

In the grief of seperation from his son, Kimg Dashrath gave up his life,

But for destiny, even this sacrifice was not enough.

When Ravana’s sister Surpanakha, fell for Ram,

Laxshman’s arrow took away her nose.

She was not one to listen to anyone now;

The clouds of revenge had gathered over Lanka.

They ( the demons ) wove a web of deceit.

The plan was to trap Sita through the lure of a golden deer.

By the time they went to catch the deer, a commotion broke out behind them.

Ravana took Sita away, and their condition became miserble.

Hanuman, the devotee of Lord Rama, arrived,

And now Raghav ( Rama ) reached Lanka by building

A bridge over the water.

Even Ravana’s brother, Vibishana,

Came to seek refuge in Rama.

What was left then? Even the days of Ravana’s death

Had now drawn near.

But, Ravana’s son, Indrajit, was also powerful.

Lakshamana was scorched by his arrows.

But by bringing the Sanjeevani herb,

Hanuman saved his life.

Now the dance of death took place in Lanka.

Rama’s arrow struck Ravana.

Sita finally met Rama.

And everyone accepted that Rama alone was God.

And everyone accepted that Rama alone was God.

– Ashka Saxena

Hindi Translation

रामायण

मुश्किल में जब संसार था।
असुरों का जब हाहाकार था।
रावण का जब वार था।
लक्ष्मी नारायण ने लिया अवतार था।

बिन कर्तव्य का जब हर काम था।
न रह गया धर्म का कोई नाम था।
तो जन्म लेने को तैयार एक तरफ जनक
नंदिनी सीता और दूसरी तरफ दशरथ नंद राम था।

धनुष तोड़ राम ने पाया अपनी सीता को
पर संकट तो अब आने वाला था कहा पता
था उनको।
दे दिया उन्होंने ही चौदह वर्ष का वनवास
माँ माना था जिनको।

अब वनवास चले राम, सिया और लक्ष्मण।
कठिनाइयों का सामना कर वन ही गया
घर उनका ये बना।
पुत्र वियोग में राजा दशरथ ने दे दिए प्राण
पर नियति के लिए तो यह भी था कम।

रावण बहन शूर्पणखा का जब राम भा गया।
लक्ष्मण तीर उसकी नाक को ले गया।
अब तो कहाँ किसी की सुनने वाली थी।
अब तो प्रतिशोध के बादल लंका पे छा गए थे।

बना लिया उन्होंने एक जाल था।
स्वर्ण हिरण के मोह में सीता को फसाना चाल
था।
हिरण लेने गए तब तक हुआ पीछे एक बवाल था।
रावण ने गया सीता को और बुरा हो
गया उनका हाल था।

पर रामजी के भक्त हनुमान आ गए।

अब तो राघव पानी पे पुल बना लंका आ गए।
यहाँ तक रावण भाई विभीषण भी
राम के शरण में आ गए।
अब क्या था अब तो रावण के मृत्यु के दिन
भी निकट आ गए।

पर रावण पुत्र इंद्रजीत भी बलवान थे।
झुलस गए लक्ष्मण पर उनके बाण थे।
पर संजीवनी बूटी ला हनुमान ने बचा
लिए उनके प्राण थे।

अब तो लंका पे मृत्यु तांडव हुआ।
राम बाण रावण को छुआ।
सीता को मिल गए अपने राम थे।
और सबने मान लिया राम ही भगवान थे।
और सबने मान लिया राम ही भगवान थे।

जय श्री राम!!

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, complex organisations, the book bridges Indian knowledge systems and modern leadership practice.
