Sankirtana das: When Srila Prabhupada talked about establishing Varnasharma colleges, he specifically mentioned using Mahabharata as one of the textbooks. The Mahabharata, even though thousands of years old, is very relevant for us today. Especially in this time when people lack an understanding of the qualities that make for good leadership. Neither do we have examples of good leadership. The Mahabharata and other Vedic literatures provide numerous examples of what it means to be a leader
My recent interview, Mahabharata On Leadership, on the Engaged Bhakti podcast, hosted by Dr. Christopher Fici (Krishna Kishore Das). Also, please note big mistake I made at 20.50 on video where I refer to Yudhisthira’s new city as Hastinapura. it is, of course, Indraprastha.
