Book Summary – 

In Five Seats of Power, Raghu Ananthanarayanan blends Yoga Śāstra and Mahabharata archetypes into a powerful leadership framework. He presents each of the five Pandava princes as symbolic seats of power within every individual:

  • Yudhiṣṭhira: order & stability

  • Bhīma: passion & action

  • Arjuna: integration through Dharma Sankata (paradigm shifter)

  • Nākuḷa: compassion & service

  • Sahadeva: knowledge & curiosity

Raghu explores both the functional and dysfunctional aspects of these archetypes, guiding readers to celebrate their strengths while acknowledging and transforming their blind or compulsive zones. The book also features interviews with visionary Indian leaders—such as N.R. Narayana Murthy and S. Ramadorai—whose life journeys illustrate how these archetypal energies can be embodied in real-world leadership contexts. Through deep introspection and illustrative case studies, this book becomes a roadmap for discovering one’s heroic potential and aligning leadership with inner purpose.
