FIVE SEATS OF POWER

In Five Seats of Power Raghu Ananthanarayanan uses insights from the Yoga Shastra and the Mahabharata to offer principles and practices to enable behavioural transformation. Transformation that in turn will ignite an individual''s natural genius. He presents each of the five Pandavas - Yudhishthira Bhima Arjuna Nakula and Sahadeva - as an archetype of a particular kind of power: of order and stability passion and action and curiosity and knowledge among others. Drawing on each of these archetypal energies he explores the functional and dysfunctional aspects of the use of power. He examines how in order to mobilize one''s heroic potential a person must celebrate their desirable qualities while resolving the dark and compulsive energies within themselves.The book also includes interviews with visionary business leaders such as N.R. Narayana Murthy and S. Ramadorai that exemplify the lessons gathered from analysing the heroes from the Mahabharata. This is an invaluable guide to becoming the best you can be.
