Introduction
One of the greatest contributions of India to the
world is Holy Geeta.
It is the part of the Epic Mahabharata.
“Srimad bhagvad Geeta” it literally means “song of the
lord/bhagvan”.
It is the song of god sung by sri krishna to arjuna as a
counseling to do his duty in the battlefield of
kurukshetra.
Arjuna got mentally depressed when he saw his
relatives in the battlefield with whom he has to fight.
Management
Management is the process of aligning people &
getting them committed to work effectively and
efficiently for a common goal to the maximum benefit
of society .
Management is a continuing process involving the
principles of : Planning, organizing , influencing,
controlling & decision making.
The general principles of effective management
applies in every field
Bhagvad Geeta & Management
The critical question in all manager’s mind is how to be
effective in their job.
The answer to this is found in the Bhagvad Geeta, which
says that ‘you must try to manage yourself’.
The western approach to management focuses in
exploring the external world of matter and energy.
The bhagvad Geeta’s approach to management focuses on
exploring the inner world of the self.
Managers can understand from Geeta the Organizational
Behavior in terms of employee’s individual behavior,
group performance and its environment.
Modern Management & Bhagvad
Geeta concepts
Utilization of available resources
The first lesson of management is to choose wisely &
utilize scarce resources optimally
During the curtain raiser before the Mahabharata
war, Duryodhana chose Sri Krishna’s large army for
his help while Arjuna selected Sri Krishna’s Wisdom
for his support.
It gives us a clue about the nature of the effective
manager, the former chose numbers, the later,
wisdom.
