Bhagwad Gita perfect textbook for leaders: US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard The Bhagwad Gita is the perfect textbook for those who are striving to be servant leaders and its message is relevant for all days and ages, American Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard said. The teachings by Lord Krishna in Bhagwad Gita are life and soul for me. They are the absolute foundation and motivation for the actions and the work and everything that I am trying to do with my life, she said during a discussion on The Future of Indo-US Relationships organised by the India Foundation. We have many areas of opportunity and many areas that we can collaborate. The only way we can be successful in these ventures and in every other part of our lives is by doing our very best to uphold and live by these ideals like Krishna teaches us in Gita... of taking actions for service of others. Its not just the political leaders who are charged with this responsibility but each of us with our own lives, she said. Gabbard, who took her oath as a US Congresswoman on the Bhagwad Gita, said that the text would remain relevant regardless of time and age. Thats what I found through my own personal experience -- that the Gita is the perfect text for people who are striving to be servant leaders. This textbook is applicable to everyone. (It) is as relevant today as it has always been and as it always will be... regardless of your age, where you come from, what language you speak, what gender... she said. Noting her personal experience practising Karm and Bhakti Yoga, Gabbard said she had gradually understood her true identity through it. I have gradually been able to understand my true identity ... Who I really am, my spiritual essence, my purpose in life... she said. dnaindia/india/report-bhagwad-gita-perfect-textbook-for-leaders-us-congresswoman-tulsi-gabbard
