Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Vedic management TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2005 02:47:28 AM] "The yogic system as elaborated by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita has also been studied by experts to see its impact on management and their conclusion is that he makes management more an art than a science while also making the system flexible and creative." You thought just going `abroad' to do an MBA was the zeitgeist of the decade. Well, it so turns out that innovating within the given MBA framework is also a `done' thing. So, you have `Vedic Management', where dharma and yoga harmonise the tension between the inner and the outward. The normative Vedic management system was utilised by Gandhi to set up an organisation that toppled one of the mightiest empires known to history, so the Vedas are surely relevant to the world of business. Propagators of Vedic management believe that through dharma and yoga, one can , harmonise with fellow human beings and achieve peace through selflessness, co-operative behaviour and the sacrifice of the ego, opinions and strongly held beliefs. There has always been an inherent tension in the Vedic system between the negative and affirmative approaches, between life in the world and renunciation. This form of management depicts a yogic way of meditation and contemplation. It delineates the concept of dharmic management as applied to social concerns and the polity. This is through an examination of the dharmashastras and the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The yogic system as elaborated by Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita has also been studied by experts to see its impact on management and their conclusion is that he makes management more an art than a science while also making the system flexible and creative. Next thing you'll probably know is forms of Vedic Management and a new genre called `Yogic management'. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1277950.cms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
