ESSENCEOR PHILOSOPHY
OFBHAGWAT GEETA

The Bhagavad Gita ("Song of God") is the essence of the


Vedas and Upanishads. It is a universal scripture
applicable to people of all temperaments, for all times. It
is a book with sublime thoughts and practical instructions
on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. The Bhagavad
Gita has influenced many great thinkers overthe years.

Teachings Why do you worry without cause?


Whatever happened, happened for the good.
What did you lose that you cry about?
Change is the law of the universe.
This body is not yours, neither are you of the
body.
Dedicate your being to God.
Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to
God.

UNIVERSAL VALUEOFBHAGWAT GEETA


&VALUES
MENTIONEDINTHESCRIPTURE
WORDSOFWISDOM

One, who sees analytical study and devotional service to be on the

same level, sees things as they are.


Regard honest well-wishers, affectionate benefactors, the neutral,
mediators, friends and enemies, the irreverent all with an equal
mind.
For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of
friends; but for onewho has failed to do so, his mind will remain the
greatest enemy.
A person in the divine consciousness, although engaged in seeing,
hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving about, sleeping and
breathing, always knowswithin himself that he actually does
nothing at all. Because while speaking, evacuating, receiving, or
opening or closing the eyes, he always knows that only the material
sense are engaged with their objects and that he is aloof from
them.

Continuation.

All living entities are born into delusion, bewildered by dualities

arisen from desire andlust.


At the time of death, the consciousness created by the living being
carries him this next body. If the living being has made his
consciousness like an animals, he issuer to get an animals body.
Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead
That which dwells in the body can never be slain. Therefore you
need not grievefor any living being.
There are two classes of men who try to realize the self. Some are
inclined to understand it by empirical, philosophical speculation,
and others by devotionalservice.
Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism,
whilephilosophy without religion is mental speculation

Continuation..

Without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should

act as a matter ofduty, for byworking without attachment


oneattains the Supreme.
Thus knowing oneself to be transcendental to the material
senses, mind andintelligence, one should stable the mind by
deliberate spiritual intelligence andthus by spiritual strength
conquer this insatiable enemy known as lust.
All living beings are but part of the Supreme, or, in other words,
they are mine.

But ignorant and faithless persons who doubt the revealed


scriptures do not attain God consciousness; they fall down.
For the doubting soul there is happiness neither in this world
nor thenext.

MANAGEMENT BY VALUES & ESSENTIAL


REQUISITE FOR TODAYS SENERIO

Mahabharata "is atrue epic, which hasgiven

birth to Bhagvad Gita an ocean of both


knowledge and ethical management.

Many gurus have gone comprehensively to


find out the intense meaning ofeach verse in
BhagvadGita and trying toconnect itto the
present world. Verse that really madean
impression, and also try to correlate the same
with the presentManagement scenario.

ESSENTIALS

The best way to overcome such

disturbances is meditation,
laughing, and edifice in a sacrificial
propensity. Remember, in Gita
Krishna also said same.

HOW WE CAN APPLY THESE VALUES


TO BUILD AGREAT TEAM

Introduction

Management has become a part and parcel in everyday life, be it at home,

office,factory, Government, or in any other organization where a group of human


beings assemble for a common purpose, management principles come into play
through their various facets like management of time, resources, personnel, materials,
machinery, finance, planning, priorities, policies and practice.

Management Guidelines from the Bhagavad-Gita

There is an important distinction between effectiveness and efficiency in managing.


Effectiveness is doing the right things andEfficiency isdoing things right. The general
principles of effective management can be applied in everyfields the differences being
mainly in the application than in principles. Again, effective management is not limited
in its application only to business orindustrial enterprises but to all organizations
where the aim is to reach a givengoal through a Chief Executive or a Manager with
the help of a group of workers.

HOW CAN WEERADICATE,


SOCIALEVILS FROM THE SOCIETY
Manager'sMental Health
The ideas mentioned above have a close bearing on the

end-state of a managerwhich is his mental health. Sound


mental health is the very goal of any human activity more
so management. An expert describes sound mental health
as that state of mind which can maintain a calm, positive
poise or regain it when unsettled in the midst of all the
external vagaries of work life and social existence. Internal
constancy andpeace are the pre-requisites for a
healthystress-free mind.
Some of the impediments to sound mental health are:
Greed -for power, position, prestige and money.
Envy-regarding others' achievements, success, rewards.
Egotism -about one's own accomplishments.

Continuation.

Suspicion, anger and frustration.


Anguish through comparisons.

Gita tells us how to get out ofthis phenomenon by


prescribing the Following capsules :
Cultivate sound philosophy of life.

Identify with inner core of self-sufficiency.

Get out of the habitual mindset towards the pairs of


opposites.

Strive for excellencethrough work is worship.

Build up an internal integrated reference point to face


contrary impulses, and emotions.

Pursue ethic-moral rectitude.

PRESENT THESTATUSOFWOMENMENTIONED
IN THE SCRIPTURE ANDCOMPARE WITH
TODAYS STATUS
BHAGWAT GEETA DESCRIPTION OFWOMEN
According to the Bhagwat Geeta, "thosewho take

shelter inMe, though they be of lower birth


women, vai syas (merchants), as well as
sudras(workers) can approach the supreme
destination." This places women inspiritual role
similar tothat of men. However,because ofthe
place ofwomen in traditional Indian society,
women are thought to be inferior. This isclearly
expressed in the Gita in anumber of chapters.
Women are thought to be untrustworthy and
stupid, easily corrupted, anda hindrance to men
on thepath to liberation .

Continuation...

Friends, We think u have misunderstood. In this same Mahabharata,


in manyplaces, women were praised a lot. It is said, even gods are
scared ofPATHIVRATHAS anger. bhagavan Krishna himself became
worried onthe anger ofgaandhari, a great pathivratha. In "Shaanthi
parva", when dharmaputhra requests Bheeshma to explain about
the nature of women. Bheeshma explains about two kinds. of
women.

1. first, the most dangerous, selfish, wavering mind with sex desire
and always discontented and even brahmadeva cannot satisfy
them.
2. second, the women, who respects their husbands, worships
elders and do theirduties, sincerely with patience. the second
varieties are said as the mothers to thewhole world, and it is also
said that the house becomes a hell, where these women are not
happy and these kind of women must be respected and treated

Continuation....
STATUSOFWOMENIN TODAYS SENIOR
The role of women in religion, especially Eastern religions, is a
strange one.
Western religions are fairly straightforward about a women's place.
For example, most Western religions (excluding the Roman Catholic
Church) allow women in leadership roles within the religious
community.Judaism allows women rabbis, most Christian religions
allow women ministers, and even Islam, which does no tallow
women mullah, have had many influential female Sufi's throughout
Islamic history.
Women have had similar roles in Eastern religion.However, the big
difference in Eastern religion is in the philosophical or scriptural
attitude towards womenversus the actual, "everyday role" of
women.
