Dandkaranya Forests - Ramayana


'Dandkaranya Forests ' - Ramayana Danda was the son of King Ikshvaku of Ayodhya. Relentless misbehaviours led him to be banished from Ayodhya by his father. He sets up his Kingdom - Madhumanta. To do this, he befriends the rakshashs. He lived in his world of ills & indulged in all vices. Sukhracharya was the wise guru of the rakshasas. He motivated the short-tempered Rakshasas by impressing them with his knowledge & not influecing change. Evil King Danda happens to see Araja, the sensious daughter of Sukhracharya. He passionately lusts for her.Unmindful of consequences, he rapes her. Sukhracharya, curses evil Danda & leaves the forest which consequently burns down. Where once stood the glorious kingdom - Madhumanta, now stood a burnt jungle called - 'Dand'akaranya ( jungle of misdeeds and punishments) Lessons for us in the Corporates from this ? ๐Ÿ‘‰ Sukracharya impressed people rather than inspiring change in them. When inspired, people develop. When impressed, they depend on others. Impressing is poor leadership. Influence change ๐Ÿ‘‰ Gratitude helps one to see past. But lust & greed blinds even the obvious consequences ๐Ÿ‘‰ A leader can lead his followers to happiness but also can lead to misery ๐Ÿ‘‰The consequences of a leader's mistake befall everyone. Select right leadersย
