Madhusudan Naidu's take on leadership with love in Swami own Words!

A "selfless" leader can bring up a whole society as the thoughts would be people-oriented than self oriented. "Selflessness" is often related to "love". Only an unconditional love can let a leader do good for the people without expecting anything in return. Madhusudan Naidu has always adhered to the ideas and practices put forward by Swami and worked on those lines for the upliftment of the people. Madhusudan Naidu Muddenahalli

A devotee sought guidance from Swami regarding the running of Institutions, to which Swami gave the most profound answer.

Swami: For any Institution, leadership is important. As is the leader, so are the people. That’s why a leader has more responsibilities than rights. Would God like this? Would it be good for all? These should be the important questions. But when ego takes over, these questions vanish. Then it’s all about whether I like it and is it good for me! The reverse happens. Such selfish leadership is always the reason for the downfall of all Institutions. One who is able to put the interests of others before oneself alone can become a good leader. Madhusudan Naidu Muddenahalli

“Yasamanno Dwijate Loko, Lokaano Dwijate Cha Yah”, neither you should trouble anyone nor be troubled by others; such leadership is important.

Devotee: “But how can we do that when others may want to harm?”
Swami: “When you mean no harm, you will have no one harming you. Despite that if some people out of sheer jealousy try to harm you, even then you should follow your Dharma of not harming others. Ultimately, it’s Love alone that wins. It may take more time like homeopathy treatment. However, it will remove the issue from the roots and not merely treat the outer symptoms. But people lose patience and try to get quick solutions to problems. That is where things go wrong. Love will teach you patience. Madhusudan Naidu Muddenahalli

Patience with your self is confidence.

Patience with others is love.

Patience with God is faith.

If you don’t have patience, you will become patients!”

Devotee: “What can be done when others are unwilling to receive the love?”

Swami: “Does the river bother who drinks from it? Does the rain bother where it falls? Does the sun bother where it shines? Likewise, do your duty of loving others without any expectations. Not even the expectation of them receiving your love. Even a hard rocks melts with incessant rains. Do your duty of loving selflessly. That is Divine. Love without duty is Divine.”

Madhusudan Naidu shares an incident where Swami's trust in His devotees is made evident.

In this account we see a tired Madhusudan Naidu being chided by Swami on account of his lack of self-confidence. Swami firmly reminds Naidu that He knows what His disciple is capable of. It is the trust reposed in us by the Lord that helps us overcome our inhibitions and surmount the hurdles laid before us. A man may be incompetent, but with the presence of God, nothing is impossible. The Lord knows us better than anyone else and when He repose trust in us then there is no reason why we should lack confidence in ourselves. madhusudan naidu muddenahalli Way back in 2011 in the early days, as Swami was guiding me to go and meet people whom I had never met, to visit places I had never visited, to do things I had never attempted, one day tired and exhausted, I returned from the airport, after several trips across the country madhusudan naidu . I went to Swami's room and submitted myself helplessly at His Feet and said, "Swami I don't think this is possible f

Madhusudan Naidu takes us to a conversation between Swami and a few of us close followers. The central theme of the conversation is the Educate One Teach One (E1E1) programme that was being implemented with the collaboration of the alumni of Swami's institutions. Here again we see Swami granting others an opportunity to be part of His Mission. He is delighted by the fact that many of the alumni have actively come forward and offered their services. God rejoices in the good deeds of His children. It is through our deeds that we become the Children of God.

Madhusudan Naidu takes us to an incident where Swami reveals the benefits of offerings.

Image
In this account we see Swami responding to an innocent question raised by a little child regarding fire offerings. The child is unable to comprehend the logic behind it. Swami displays the finesse of a Divine Teacher as he explains to the child a most profound truth in the most simplest manner. He reveals the fact that nothing offered to God can go to waste and that He returns everything multiplied. He also stresses the fact that any offering made to God is complete only when one makes it with love. Madhusudan Naidu is left in awe once again by this simplification of a most profound truth. It was during the Navarathri Homa and Dussehra Yajnam 2017 that a child rose on his knees while Swami passed by during Darshan and put forth a very sincere question, madhusudan naidu “Swami, we are offering ghee, sarees and several other expensive articles into the fire, is it not getting wasted? Instead, the same money could be better utilised for serving more poor people.” Swami paused i
