Book on ISKCON Founder Launched in Delhi
On January 7th, a special event was held in New Delhi to celebrate the launch of a book about Srila Prabhupada, the founder of ISKCON.
The book, titled 'Sing, Dance and Lead,' talks about how Prabhupada's leadership was built on values like faith, discipline, and service.
Important people like the Vice President of India and leaders from ISKCON attended the event.
They discussed how Prabhupada started a big spiritual movement in his seventies and how his teachings continue to inspire people around the world.
The book aims to show how Prabhupada turned his ideas into a global institution, emphasizing that leadership is about responsibility and moral purpose, not just power.
The event was unique because people were not allowed to use their phones, and everyone focused on the spiritual and historical significance of ISKCON.
The book 'Sing, Dance and Lead' by Hindol Sengupta was launched at the Vice President’s Enclave in New Delhi on 7 January.
The book discusses the leadership principles of Srila Prabhupada, founder of ISKCON, focusing on his institution-building efforts.
Vice President CP Radhakrishnan and Culture and Tourism Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat highlighted Prabhupada's ability to turn ideas into movements and beliefs into systems.
The event was attended by spiritual leaders, political leaders, academics, and social workers, including ISKCON-Bengaluru President Madhu Pandit Das and Akshaya Patra Foundation vice-chairman Chanchalapati Das.
The book aims to show how Prabhupada's leadership was rooted in values, service, discipline, and joy, rather than authority or power.
