heath.
On this auspicious occasion I wi convey $harma discourse entited %oncepts in &eadership
"indu Asta. brata 'nderying I raised this tite because I fee there are many eaders who do
not appy the concept of asta Bratha as a eader.
(eope of my oved sedharma
Asta Brata Bratha the teachings of "indu eadership that comes from the )edas contained in
*itisastra+ Asta Brata is a concept that is in use by the king of kings in ancient times to eadthe kingdom into an empire of a great and prosperous. Before I further e,pained asta Bratha
first I want to te+ what is it -+ eader and what eadership -.
(eope of sedarma happy
A eader is a person who is considered to have an infuence on many groups of peope. #hie
eadership is eading the process+ organie+ move the running of an organiation+ institution+
bureaucracy and so forth+ according to (rof. /unadha eadership is the process of heping and
assisting others to work enthusiasticay toward a goa. &eadership aso means the activity of
infuencing others to attaining the goas of the group vountariy. In "induism found a ot of
teaching on eadership of one of them in the book of )eda III.0.1 Atharwa define the tasks of
a eader as foows2
3O eader of the State+ came to ight+ protect peope with great dignity+ e,ists as the main
eader+ caing and begging a over your strength+ seie the honor and praise in this country3.
I respect the peope of sedharma
&eadership by "indus is very much discussed in the stories of "indu one in
Manawadharmasastra e,pained that a eader must insti eight nature of god in him caed
Asta Brata. 4ighth nature gods can be e,pained as foows
Indra Bratha
Indra is the king of the gods+ who ive in (aradise 5aendran where there is a symbo of
weath 6assets7+ a symbo of power 6the throne7 and a symbo of se,ua peasure+ a the
prettiest ange there in 5aendran 6woman7. A three must be owned by a great eader+ and
apparenty it is appied in the "indu kingdoms in India+ 8ava+ and Bai in the past. #ithkewibawaanah a eader respected by opponents and friends.
In the )edic &iterature+ the god Indra is worshiped in two aspects+ namey as the /od of Rain
and /od of #ar. Rain is water that is desirabe for farmers to start panting+ pant a farmer
from farming to obtain food+ inade9uate cothing and housing+ it is wefare. Therefore+ Indra
is a symbo of prosperity. A eader must aways think+ speak+ and act to promote the wefare
of its peope. Indra is aso revered as the god of war+ con9ueror main enemy. In this case the
eader must be the protector of the peope+ who is abe to provide security and comfort for the
peope. The enemy is not :ust buies from the outside or the rebes+ but the enemy within.
This means that a king must be abe to contro himsef from enemies that e,ist within 6sad
Ripu7+ so that eaders set an e,ampe for peope in terms of sef;contro.

Agni Bratha
Agni or fire is burning. In terms of eadership trait or agni means fire burning spirit of the
peope to come forward and towards prosperity+ to a better future. The behavior of a eader

the organiation ed. In modern management this coud be done by making innovations in
eadership stye+ for e,ampe+ reease a saturation and buid a new spirit and motivation to be better.
Sedharma race that I ove
Thus dharma discourse can convey+ I can concude that the teachings asta Bratha sti very
reevant = appropriate in impementing today. &eadership Astra Brata that become the
foundation of eadership and "indu 4thics. As in kakawin Ramayana e,pained that the
