I chose the video, Living Service, from the Global Oneness Project Video Library. I chose the video because of the little boy in the picture with the flower, and I wanted to know more I guess...
The video was about the poverty and living conditions in a slum of India, and how as a Indian culture they still hold their values and want to make better living conditions by helping one another. The main focus in Indian philosophy is to connect the people as one, and to serve one another and become closer in that aspect. That relates a lot to what we are talking about in our leadership theories in that teaching one person can lead to them teaching, and so on, almost like a paying it forward. Leadership is all about bringing your group together and leading them to their goal. In the video their goal was to teacher others to serve and become kind and helpful to each other to survive their situation.
The video also encompasses that the focus was on spirituality not on religion. They wanted to share and spread compassion and love, not so much religious rules,etc. They focus on service and help, which brings compassion and care, which eventually spreads through the people they help, which in turn inspires them to serve, share, and help. I thought it was an amazing show of leadership and what a way to live, although they are in probably the worst living experience one can have, they still make a way to survive as a community and for everyone to truly "live" through the compassion and care of those around them, being as one.
