Personal Guidance
In Svārociṣa's age, leaders were faithful devotees; society was governed by people loyal to the Lord. The quality of an era depends largely on whether its rulers are bhaktas. Pray and act for leadership in your own circles to be God-conscious.
Reflection Questions
  • What kind of leaders am I helping bring forward by my attention, vote, or support?
  • Where can I quietly become a more devoted leader in the small territories I already manage?
