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'.
