Akal Academy Baru Sahib: Top IB School in India

Antim Ardas & Akhand Paath Sahib in Revered Memory of Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji

At 12:30 a.m., under the quiet sky of Baru Sahib, the sacred Akhand Paath Sahib was completed at Gurdwara Angitha Sahib, Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji — in the loving memory of a soul who lived only to serve humanity. As the final shabad was recited, every word felt like a blessing… every moment felt heavy with remembrance and gratitude. Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji was not just a saint, but a guiding light for millions of rural children, a father figure to countless souls, and a living example of sewa, simplicity, and sacrifice. Today, as we bowed our heads before Guru Sahib, we also bowed our hearts before Baba Ji’s life of purpose. His body may have merged with the पंच तत्व, but his mission breathes on — in every school, every child, every village he transformed through education and values. May Guru Sahib bless us with the strength to walk on the path Baba Ji showed us… To serve selflessly. To live humbly. To dedicate our lives to the upliftment of others. Sant Baba Iqbal Singh Ji — You remain alive in our prayers, our work, and our hearts. 🙏

Day 10 | Humility in Leadership – The Strength (Contd.) Mother Teresa and Nelson Mandela: Leadership through Service

Historical Examples of Humble Leadership 1. Mother Teresa – Humility in Action See content credentials Article content Mother Teresa never led from a podium or held a position of political power, yet her impact echoed across the world. With a heart devoted to the poorest of the poor, she built a legacy through service, not status. She chose to live among the sick and destitute in the slums of Kolkata, offering dignity where there was none. She never sought recognition, yet became a global symbol of compassion. Her mission was simple: love one person at a time, quietly and selflessly. Despite global fame, awards and even a Nobel Peace Prize, she remained grounded in her purpose: to serve. Mother Teresa proved that leadership isn’t about commanding attention, it’s about giving it to those the world forgets. 2. Nelson Mandela – Humility After Power Article content After becoming President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, a man who had endured 27 years in prison, chose reconciliation over revenge and humility over authority. One of the most powerful examples of his leadership came from a simple, everyday act. Mandela made it a practice to personally serve tea to his staff during meetings, reminding everyone that leadership was about service, not status. Despite holding the highest office in the country, he listened more than he spoke, acknowledged his own limitations and consistently credited his people for the nation’s progress. Rather than ruling through fear or ego, Mandela led with dignity, forgiveness and humility, uniting a deeply divided nation and leaving behind a legacy far greater than power itself.

Day 9 | Humility in Leadership – The Strength. The Story of Abraham Lincoln and Satya Nadella.

Leadership is often associated with power, control, and dominance. Yet, history and experience repeatedly show that the most impactful leaders are those who lead with humility. Whether in business, politics, or spiritual guidance, humility in leadership fosters trust, respect, and long-term success. See content credentials Article content In contrast, arrogance in leadership leads to corruption, short-sighted decisions, and disconnection from the people. The Business Perspective: Why Humble Leaders Succeed In the corporate world, leaders who embrace humility often build the most resilient, innovative, and successful organisations. Leaders of the masses such as Abraham Lincoln or modern CEOs like Satya Nadella, chose humility over ego, service over self-glorification and wisdom over pride. Political and corporate leaders who practice humility demonstrate greater emotional intelligence, stronger decision-making, and deeper connection with the people they serve. Abraham Lincoln – The President Who Listened Lincoln, known as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents, was famous for: Admitting his mistakes. Listening to criticism rather than silencing it. Humbling himself to the wisdom of his advisers, even those who disagreed with him. Article content Abraham Lincoln's humility involves a letter he wrote to General George Meade during the Civil War. Lincoln was frustrated with Meade's performance and wrote a harsh letter expressing his irritation, but ultimately decided not to send it. He inscribed the unsent letter with the words "To Gen. Meade, never sent, or signed," demonstrating his self-control and humility by not letting personal feelings overshadow his leadership. His ability to lead with humility helped him end slavery and unite a divided nation. Satya Nadella – The Humble CEO of Microsoft Article content When Satya Nadella took over as CEO of Microsoft in 2014, the company was struggling with internal competition, a rigid culture, and declining innovation. Instead of enforcing top-down control, Nadella focused on: Listening – He encouraged employees to share ideas freely. Empathy – He shifted Microsoft’s culture from a "know-it-all" mindset to a "learn-it-all" approach. Teamwork – He removed the internal rivalry that had held the company back. He suggests that a student who is willing to learn, even if they have less innate ability, will ultimately do better than a student who already knows a lot but is unwilling to learn. He believes that the willingness to learn and embrace challenges is more valuable than possessing innate talent alone. The Result? Microsoft became one of the most valuable companies in the world, regaining its reputation for innovation.
