4. PREFACE
“Ethics and religion must not stay at home when
we go to work.”—Achille Silvestrini, Cardinal of the Roman Curia.
My purpose of writing this book is to make people
understand that the Spirituality, Ethics and Religion should not
be confined to the temple, mosque or churches. These are the
resources which should be utilized in a right manner in order
to ease our life at work. This is the reason I have tried to show
Hanuman Chalisa, Kabirji Ke Dohey and Holy Religious Signs
from the management point of view. Our holy texts are full of
wisdom; this is my first attempt to mix spirituality with management.
Folks, enjoy your work life, only then you can enjoy your
personal life.
This book is for all mankind - entrepreneurs, organizations,
management students, employees, professionals and last but not
the least- common man.
“Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.” —Syrus, Publilius
So try to be wise…… :)

7. Chapter 1- HANUMAN CHALISA : FROM MANAGEMENT POINT OF VIEW
Shri Hanuman is a Hindu deity and an ardent devotee of Shri Rama. He is one of
the dearest devotees of Shri Rama. He is a disciple of Shri Ram, whose story is
depicted in the Great Indian epic, The Ramayana. He is also known as
Maruti, Pavanputra, Kesharinandan, Bajrang Bali and Anjaniputra.
Our sacred texts are full of knowledge we can apply that knowledge in our day to
day life as well as in management arena. Here is my small effort to look hanuman
chalisa from the management point of view. I have chosen hanuman chalisa
because no one on this planet will be so loyal and dedicated to his boss (Rama) like
Hanumanji. So every employer will love to welcome an ardent employee like
Hanumanji in his company.
There are number of benefits for an organization if it recruits ardent employees like
Hanumanji. The benefits are depicted below:
a) Employees like Hanumanji will help control employee attrition level and hence
it will help HR save the new employee recruitment cost.
b) Company’s marketing strategies, secrets, accounts manipulation will be kept
secret with them (top level manager s and middle level managers). It won’t be
leaked or shared with the competitors.
c) Employees will be ready to work beyond working hours to complete the
task, etc.

8. “Tum Upkar Sugrivahi Keenha,
Ram Miali Rajpad Deenha.”
Hanumanji! You rendered a great service for Sugriva, It was you who united
him with Shri Ram and installed him on the Royal Throne.
A dedicated employee is not only good for the company but also for the client
because an employee act as a bridge between the client and the company,
benefiting both the client and the company.
One can also learn one more thing from this couplet- Outsourcing, a strategic
management model. Shri Hanumanji helped Sugriva by uniting him with Shri
Rama. Shri Rama killed Raja Vali (brother of Sugriva) and installed Sugriva on the
magnificent throne.
This shows the benefits of Outsourcing, a strategic management model- Sugriva
was incapable of killing Raja Vali, for this reason he got the help of Shri Rama via
Shri Hanumanji for killing Vali.
If companies are incapable of producing or servicing in terms of better quality,
then it is wise to get the job done from the third party (get the work outsourced)

9. Outsourcing will make your company focused on its core competence, making it
more competitive. It will also cut the unnecessary cost and enhance the
efficiency of the company.
“Outsourcing and globalization of manufacturing allows companies to reduce
costs, benefits consumers with lower cost goods and services, causes economic
expansion that reduces unemployment, and increases productivity and job
creation.” —Larry Elder, an American radio and television personality.
“Globalization has changed us into a company that searches the world, not just
to sell or to source, but to find intellectual capital - the world’s best talents and
greatest ideas.” —Jack Welch, the former chairman and CEO of General Electric.
“Tumhare Bhajan Ramko Pavei.
Janam Janam Ke Dukh Bisravei.”
Oh Hanumanji! One can reach Shri Rama through devotion to you and
becomes free from suffering of several lives.
An employee is the face of an organization; clients come through the
employees to the company. And clients get maximum satisfaction if
employees provide them with good service or product.

10. Hence, it’s essential for employers to keep their employees happy because a
happy employee will keep your clients happy and happy clients will keep your
profit and loss account happy.
“A happy employee will lead directly to happy customers.”
—Chris Hammond, a former left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball.
“Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot
compare with an ant filled with the love of God.”
—Guru Nanak Devji, founder of the Sikh religion.

11. Chapter 2- KABIRJI KE DOHEY FROM MANAGEMENT OUTLOOK
Kabir (also known as ‘Kabira’) was a spiritual poet and saint of India. He was found
by a Muslim weaver named Niru and his wife, Nima, in Lehartara, situated in Varanasi
(Banaras), India. He was born probably around the year 1398 AD; he lived for
120 years and died in 1518.
The name Kabir comes from Arabic Al-Kabir which means ‘The Great’ - one of the 99
names of Allah (SWT). I have tried to relate Kabira’s spiritual couplets with the
management philosophy.
“Keson Kaha Bigadia, Je Moonde Sau Baar,
Man Ko Kahe Na Moondiye, Jaamein Vishey Vikaar.”
What damage have the hair done, you shave them hundred times,
Why not shave your mind, there breed unrestricted numerous toxic thoughts.
Here the hair stands for team leaders or managers and shave represents the reshuffle
of team leaders or managers. Shaving of mind means – changing the management
style and leadership style where the entire problem begins.

12. It is better to change the organization’s management style and leadership style,
instead of changing the team leaders or managers number of times.
In Indian workplaces one will find authoritarian culture, autocratic leadership style
is widely practiced here, and not only low level employees, but also managers are
treated quite rudely.
An organization should not forget the Equity, one of the fourteen principles of
management developed by Henri Fayol. This 11th principle says managers or
supervisors should treat their subordinates in a kind and fair manner.
There are many –American, Japanese, European and Chinese management styles
but an organization should choose the management style which suits its working
culture.
Employee friendly management style -The core of the management style
should be employee friendly which will enable employees to have an easy access to
the management to present their problems, suggestions and recommendations.
Employee friendly management style will not only create favorable working
atmosphere but also help an organization to retain employees.

13. “Management by objectives works if you first think through your objectives. Ninety
percent of the time you haven’t.” —Peter Drucker, a well known management
consultant.
“Control is not leadership; management is not leadership; leadership is leadership. If
you seek to lead, invest at least 50% of your time in leading yourself—your own
purpose, ethics, principles, motivation, conduct. Invest at least 20% leading those
with authority over you and 15% leading your peers.” —Dee Hock, the founder and
former CEO of the VISA credit card association.
“You do not lead by hitting people over the head — that’s assault, not leadership.”
—Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States.
“If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall in the ditch.” —Jesus Christ (Peace Be Upon
Him), the founder of Christianity.
“Four rules of leadership in a free legislative body: First, no matter how hard fought
the issue, never get personal. Don’t say or do anything that may come back to haunt
you on another issue, another day.... Second, do your homework. You can’t lead
without knowing what you’re talking about.... Third, the American legislative
process is one of give and take. Use your power as a leader to persuade, not
intimidate.... Fourth, be considerate of the needs of your colleagues, even if they’re
at the bottom of the totem pole....”—George Bush, Former President of the United
States.
“Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” —Theodore Roosevelt.

14. “Gur Dhobi Sikh Kapda, Saboo Sirjan Har,
Surti Sila Pur Dhoiye, Nikse Jyoti Aapar.”
Guru is the washer man, disciple is the cloth, the name of God compared to the
soap, Wash the mind thoroughly clean (on base solid) to realize the glow of
truth. Trainer is your Guru (washer man) and trainee is the cloth (an employee-
disciple).
Trainer should invest his knowledge into employees and also help employees
enhance their professional skills by providing proper on the job training; this will
boost their job performance. And the trainee (an employee) should put his heart
into training and development as this is the only period which helps him
understand his job roles, improve his knowledge about the company, its products
or services and help hone his skills. The more you learn under training, the less
you panic at work.
“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher
demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” —William Arthur Ward, American
dedicated scholar, author, editor, pastor and teacher.
“Learning without thought is labor lost. Thought without learning is intellectual
death.” —Confucius.
“Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is
nothing but cabbage with a college education.” —Mark Twain, an American
author and humorist.

15. Chapter 3 - HOLY RELIGIOUS SIGNS FROM MANAGEMENT PERSPECTIVE
Jainism - Swastika
They say, Jack of all trades, master of none. An employee should be able to
execute all the jobs assigned to him. He should be multi tasking just like the
four hands of the Swastika.
An organization should follow a management technique called - Job rotation in
order to produce multi tasking employees. It’s a management technique in
which employees are moved to various jobs or departments in a planned
manner.
Be an all-rounder as you never know what problem life is going to toss at
you.

16. From the management point of view, when you look at the above given symbol,
there are two sides white and black. Consider circle to be an organization, black
side to be employees and white side to be management of an organization. Now,
that white dot in the black side of the circle is nothing but love, respect for the
management in the hearts of the employees. And black dot in the white side of
the circle is nothing but love, respect for the employees in the hearts of the
management. An organization with such kind of working atmosphere will be
successful in the long-term as well as short-term as this kind of working
philosophy will create harmony in the organization
between employees and management.
Live in each other’s heart, which is the purest place of divinity.

17. Thoughts for refreshment of your spirits:
Thoughts on work:
You are Krishna and the work is Radha,
You are the lover and the work is your love.
You are the flower and the fragrance is your work.
You are the knowledge and the wisdom is your work.
You are Shiv and the Shakti is your work.
You are incomplete without work and the work is incomplete without you.
(Ardhnarishwar)
Thoughts on Spirituality:
When we were born (birth is Brahma) we cried that voice was Saraswati.
The time between our birth and death is Vishnu; hence, we require Laxmi
(money) right from our birth till our death.
When we will die (death is Shiva) we will be turned into ashes/ earth (Parvati)
Hence, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh are the process of birth, life and death. And
Saraswati, Laxmi and Parvati are the means.
Our Lord is one. Brahma (Creator), Vishnu (Sustainer), Mahesh (Destroyer) is the
attributes of one Lord. It’s just like three roles played by the same individual.
We all are Spirits, the part of Supreme Spirit.

18. Our True Religion Is Love,
Our True Lord Is Love,
Our True Guru Is Love,
We All Are The Products Of Love,
Our Work Is Love,
Our Ultimate Goal Is Love,
But The Real State Is That We Are Full of Ego, Hatred
And Lust, In spite Of The Fact That We Will Be Turned Into
Dust.
