09:57- How do you relate to Lord Krishna’s guidance when you look at today’s modern mentoring practices?
- The Bhagavad Gita serves as a mentoring conversation where Krishna provides contextual wisdom to help Arjuna make his own decisions, similar to modern mentoring practices.
- Effective mentoring, like Krishna’s guidance, empowers mentees to think independently rather than providing direct instructions.
- Decision-making is central to both the Gita and modern mentoring, where mentors provide support and insights without taking ownership of the mentee’s choices.
18:55- What is the significance of preserving and promoting Indian heritage in today’s rapidly changing world?
- Indian heritage has survived conquests and changes due to the Guru-Shishya Parampara (teacher-disciple system), which emphasizes human-led learning and oral transmission of knowledge.
- Indian heritage promotes integral humanism, fostering coexistence with nature and recognizing divinity in all aspects of life, from rivers to sunlight.
- The heritage instills a deep sense of gratitude and inclusivity, shaping India’s unique cultural identity and emphasizing values that remain relevant in today’s world.
