The Importance of Well-Wishing Friendship (TCH#10)

Image
Valmiki Ramayan highlights Sugreev and Hanuman Ji's lovely friendship, particularly in Kishkindha Kand. Their friendship depicts a well-meaning friendship in which they were always there for each other, no matter what. The strength of the ring that Shri Ram had given Hanuman Ji, as well as reciting the holy name of Ram, contributed to Hanuman Ji's ability to carry out the enormous job assigned to him. Ram chose him for this role, however, due of his positive attitude , desire to serve , and Sugreev's recommendation . Sugreev became Ram's ally as a result of Hanuman Ji's proposal to Ram. Later, Sugreev repaid Hanuman Ji's debt by recommending him to Ram for the Sita search. This gesture of generosity and selflessness is a true indicator of a perfect relationship between well-wishers, emphasizing the value of friendship in our lives. Valmiki Ramayan emphasizes that true friendship entails helping one another in both good and terrible times. This is emphasized ...

Image
Welcome to the eighth post in our series, "The Corporate Hanuman," where we explore the valuable lessons that professionals can learn from the great devotee of Lord Rama. In this post, we delve into the importance of rituals and etiquette in both personal and professional life, as demonstrated in the episode of "Meeting of Ram-Sugreev-Hanuman" from Valmiki Ramayan (Kishkindha Kand). Join us as we examine how Hanuman's observance and meticulousness towards protocols set an example for modern-day professionals. The story of Ram-Sugreev-Hanuman's meeting teaches us the power of rituals and etiquette in our personal and professional lives. Hanuman's keen attention to detail and respect for protocols set an example for modern-day professionals to follow. When Hanuman introduced Ram and Sugreev to each other, he created a ritual sacrifice to help Sugreev focus on his commitment to Ram. This demonstrates how rituals can bind our unstable minds to our commi...

The Power of Perception, Recognition, and Hope (TCH#7)

Image
  The story of first meeting of Ram-Hanuman-Sugreev from Kishkindha Kand of Valmiki Ramayan tells us about the importance of perception and recognition in both personal and professional life. Fear often distorts our perception of problems and prevents us from finding solutions, but clarity can lead us to freedom. This is demonstrated in Sugreev's behaviour, as he could not recognize Ram as a solution to his problems until he was advised by Hanuman, who he trusted more than his own perception. Hanuman played the role of Sugreev's trusted advisor and friend, demonstrating the importance of mentorship and guidance in the corporate world. He possessed both theoretical and practical knowledge that he used to guide and inspire Sugreev. His ability to communicate effectively with Ram, bridge the gap between them, and adapt his actions to prevent Sugreev's mind from going into overdrive highlights the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership. We can see one example of H...

Meeting with the Master - 2 (TCH#5)

Image
  (Photo courtesy : Ramcharit Manas - Manoj Publications) In the Kishkindha Kand of Ramcharit Manas, Goswami Tulsidas narrates the conversation between Hanuman and his master, Lord Ram, as they meet for the first time. Hanuman recognizes his master and surrenders himself completely to him, achieving the perfection of his existence by serving such a divine master. This interaction between a leader and a team member holds valuable lessons for us in the corporate world, particularly in communication and building relationships. In the conversation between Hanuman and Lord Ram, we see Hanuman acknowledging his faults and surrendering himself to his master. He declares that he knows nothing about devotional service and remains confident in his master's care. Hanuman also remembers his boss Sugreev and immediately works towards creating a win-win situation for both Ram and Sugreev. This resembles modern-day organizations' merger and acquisition processes and joint ventures. Look ...

The Birth of A Hero (TCH#2)

Image
The birth of a hero always takes place on a mountain of challenges and not in the valleys of comfort. Those who have read Ramcharitmanas or have some knowledge of the Ramayana would know that Hanuman's introduction as a superhero takes place in the fourth chapter of the book, Kishkindha Kand. His identity as a superhero is established when, at the end of this chapter, on the Mahendra Mountain, Hanumanji is introduced as a superhero to the army that had lost its courage to continue the search for Mata Sita under the leadership of Angad, the prince of Kishkindha, and when Jambvan, the bear king, reminded Hanumanji of his unlimited powers: "You are as powerful as the wind. You are intelligent, illustrious and an inventor. There is nothing in this world that's too difficult for you; whenever stuck, you are the one who can help." Hanuman's journey towards becoming an extraordinary superhero and then a super God of Kaliyuga started from this point. Sunder Kand, the fif...
