Hon’ble Vice President of India Shri C.P Radhakrishnan released Sing, Dance and Lead, a book based on the leadership lessons of Srila Prabhupada, on 7 January 2026 at the prestigious Uparashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. This thought-provoking book has been written by Prof. (Dr.) Hindol Sengupta and published by Penguin Random House India.
Hon’ble Vice President was the Chief Guest of this special book launch event, which was attended by eminent leaders, thinkers and influencers from various parts of the country. Hon’ble Minister of Culture and Tourism, Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, was the Guest of Honour. Prof. Hindol Sengupta, the acclaimed historian and the author of the book, was also present. The event was presided by Shri Madhu Pandit Dasa, President of ISKCON Bangalore and Founder and Chairman of The Akshaya Patra Foundation and Shri Chanchalapathi Dasa, Senior Vice President of ISKCON Bangalore and Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of Akshaya Patra.
Sing, Dance and Lead brings alive ideas of leadership from one of the most impactful spiritual leaders in recent history. The book, for the first time, looks at the leadership of Srila Prabhupada not only in the light of existing theories and knowledge about leadership, but also at how his teachings and practices went far beyond what they could teach us. His exceptional leadership legacy has left a lasting imprint, inspiring his followers to continue his mission and strive for the welfare of humanity to this day. This pioneering book will undoubtedly become an essential read in understanding the Indian Guru-shishya parampara as a vital source for leadership training. It may be noted that Prof. Sengupta’s earlier biography on Srila Prabhupada ‘Sing, Dance and Pray’, went on to become a best-seller and won appreciation in India and abroad.
Sing, Dance and Lead is an engaging book for people of all ages and from all walks of life. It will broaden readers’ horizons and enable them to understand and relate to Srila Prabhupada’s style of leadership and management. Readers will gain a whole new perspective on leadership and be able to recognise Srila Prabhupada as a unique leader who brought about a spiritual revolution across the globe.
Srila Prabhupada is the inspiration for all the spiritual, cultural and humanitarian projects and initiatives of ISKCON Bangalore and Akshaya Patra. He was honoured with the esteemed title ‘Vishwaguru’ for the first time by the Akhila Bharatiya Akhara Parishad during the Maha Kumbh at Prayag last year.
The book highlights Srila Prabhupada’s rare ability to translate ideas into institutions, books into movements, beliefs into systems, and vision into continuity - offering valuable lessons in ethical and institutional leadership. It reframes leadership as responsibility and not entitlement. In an era where leadership is often measured by visibility, speed, and short-term outcomes, Srila Prabhupada’s life teaches that depth creates durability and purpose gives direction to power.
The book has garnered fulsome and unanimous praise from several highly accomplished leaders and scholars. Celebrated personalities like Mr. Narayana Murthy (Founder, Infosys), Dr. Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw (Chairperson, Biocon Limited), Ms. Chandrika Tandon (Grammy-winning musician, business leader and humanitarian), Prof. Jaideep Prabhu (University of Cambridge), Prof. Asha Saxena (Columbia University) and Mr. Shiv Khera have endorsed the book.”
