#1 Leadership Trait – Sri Ramana Did Not Sit IDLE Like a King, Delegating Work
Many people today have a habit of delegating work. They themselves do nothing and expect others to do all the hard labor for them. Young people of today imagine that this quality of pushing work upon others, is what makes a person successful and climb up the corporate ladder. However as Maharshi Ramana demonstrated this is NOT the quality that makes one a successful leader.
A successful leader in fact does just the opposite. He/she goes down in the trenches and works just as hard if not harder than the rest of the team, shouldering many heavy responsibilities.

For if it lasts, India may be seriously weakened, even crippled: civil strife may remain always possible, possible even a new invasion and foreign conquest (by China).”
– Sri Aurobindo
Destiny of India is to be the Land of Hindu-Muslim Unity
Destiny of India is to be the land of Hindu-Muslim-Christian Unity – this is the Rishis plan before Satyug descends. Our Yugdharma (duty in this time) is to make it happen. We are in a Devasura sangram. There are subtle forces of disharmony, which want to break us up as a nation. And there are subtle forces of unity. We must side with the unifying forces, for these are the daivik (Divine) powers.
