kasarabada.org welcomes you all !!
This week we are bringing Balakanda Sarga 27
Balakanda Sargas 24, 25 and 26 cover the story of Tataki. The introduction of the story of Tataki is covered in Sarga 24. In Sarga we hear the elaboration of Tataki's evil deeds and we have Viswamitra's exhortation to Rama that she should kill her without considering the fact that she is a woman. In Sarga 26 we have Rama stating with firm conviction that he will end the menace of Tataki . With all the foregoing exhortations of Viswamitra , when the actual battle starts Rama still thinks of only cutting off her nose and ears and letting her go. It required one more exhortation from Viswamitra for Rama to actually kill Tataki. In Sarga 27 we know that Viswamitra was pleased and he gave Rama whole array of weapons , which virtually included all the weapons of all Gods we can imagine. After going through this Sarga it should be clear to everybody that Rama has been fully prepared for the ultimate battle !

This week we are also bringing a page for Balakanda.
We have been adding a page when sufficient content has been gathered and it is standing on its own. Balakanda page now stands as an independent listing page and adds to the already available pages listed on this page (what is in Kasarabada.org)
We are also bringing the birth of another kind - the start of Athato Foundation. It is detailed on our Trust pages. We are also into an exciting adventure under the Athato Foundation which is supporting School education. As part of this we visited two Govt schools in Bangalore. After the visit we could not stop talking or thinking about them. our experience is presented under the one more thing tittle- 'It is exciting !'. We mentioned this keeping in view the large number of visitors from Bangalore who visit our site !
We are grateful for the informal encouragement of many. We are happy to receive articles for any of the four columns.
We hope to continue on our adventure !!
Happy Reading !!
Om tat sat !!

One more thing !

Leader and the Led

Leading involves a dialog, and the best leaders are those who communicated their vision and carried the teams that were convinced.

Communication in the true sense of the word is not a one way street . It is a dialog. When a dialog happens the people involved have to be on the same plane. They may belong to different strata , but for that moment of dialog they are to be on the same plane.

A dialog between friends is a two way process. Earliest classical dialogs are like that of Krishna and Arjun or Krishna and Uddhava.

While Krishna was giving his discourse , it is not as though Uddhava was too overawed to react. At a number of points we see him asking questions.

The special nature of dialog between Krishna and Arjun or Krishna and Uddhava is that both Arjun and Uddhava are his close friends. That relationship allowed them to interrupt and ask questions.

This relationship also defines a model for the leader and the led.

In the modern day scenario, the leader making a point would not like to be interrupted lest his flow be affected !. Even if the other one was to join the discussion, the willingness to hear the other borders on the edges !!

Unlike the current leaders Krishna demonstrated a unique patience and went on to convince his follower. He did not say take it or leave it. Nor did he have a contempt for their "ignorance".

It is also clear that if there is an element of "friendship" between the leader and the led there is a possibility of a dialog. If the leader and led are in their stations unwilling to bear the other it will be a one way track !

Decades ago I had a boss who was also a friend and colleague before becoming my boss. Both of us came from different streams which had a congruence and he became my boss. Because of our earlier relationship we had honest and free exchange of ideas and discussions. That also meant violent discussions and disagreements. Some days used to be so bad that I would not go to him next day unless called for! But we would make up and move on also. Subsequently our streams demerged and he went his way and I went my way. Later we used to look back and laugh about it. And we remained good friends!!.

If I were to transpose the current leader and led relationships , the kind of discussions we had would have meant certain end to the one who was "led". No questions asked !! ` Today's leader is one who brooks no resistance and the led are those who are led by their nose !.

The dialogs of Krishna and Uddhava provide a model for the leader and led . The leader who had the patience to explain and the led who had the courage to ask questions !!

The true leader is one who leads by convincing than by the decibels of his voice.
