65 The Dharma Path – Rama's Teachings on Leadership in the Ramayana (Part 1)

In the Ramayana Rama gives advice for leaders. I go through that list & see if his advice is still relevant in this 2 part video series. Live 9.28.2023

0:00 – Intro to discussing Lord Rama's advice on how rulers should lead as based on Vedic principles, Valmiki's "Ramayana" Book 2 Chapter 100 (See this link https://valmikiramayan.net/utf8/ayodhya/sarga100/ayodhya_100_frame.htm)
4:23 – Events leading to chapter 100
7:52 – Is Rama's advice good or have they been proven wrong, is Rama's good advice being done today
9:57 – Reading verses 1-7, youth & lack of experience as detrimental (note: Congresswoman Diane Feinstein died the next day at age 90. I assumed making this video she would live much longer and calls for resignation due to her health would continue.)
14:08 – Reading verses 8-12, reliable religious leaders
17:16 – Reading verse 13, honoring wise people & elderly
19:15 – Reading verses 14-24, knowledgeable government advisors, too many advisors & keeping secrets, recommending Robert Kennedy's book "Thirteen Days" on Bay of Pigs & George W. Bush's "Decision Points"
29:25 – Reading verse 25, varna/caste system, bad bosses & Marxist disenfranchised workers
31:32 – Reading verses 26-31, corrupted politicians with no integrity, punishment, honoring veterans & military
37:25 – Reading verses 32-36, spying, Vedic government positions
42:30 – Closing thoughts

For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff.
This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.

🎙️ Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort.

I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA.
I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).

Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment.
If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.

🕉️ I'm a Integral Vedic Counselor, Certified Spiritual Life Coach and Ayurveda Specialist. I'm a student of Dr. David Frawley and devotee of Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya, following the non-Advaita, non-Universalist Vaishnava lineage of Ramanuja. My spiritual name was a gift from Dr. Chaturbhai Babaria (Swaminarayan Gurukul USA).
