Management by Scriptures

It has been a favourite pastime of amateur management gurus to talk about the relevance of their particular guru, scripture or sect to modern management. I have seen 'The Will to Yoga Way', heard Swamiji's discourse on excellence in management and come across several titles that link particular meditation and breathing techniques to self management. I find it very entertaining to look at this crossfertilization of ideas. But entertainment is big business, the mind industry is big business too and so it is time to take a closer look at them. Before I proceed to do this, let me state a claimer. I have read some of the scriptures, learnt Yoga, practiced meditation and perform breatiiing exercises regularly. I am not a sceptic of the spiritual side of tilings. I was a practicing manager for 10 years and head of an educational institution for 16 years. I have a formal degree in management and claim to know a littie about the practice of management.

Abstract


It has been a favourite pastime of amateur management gurus to talk about the relevance of their particular guru, scripture or sect to modern management. I have seen 'The Will to Yoga Way', heard Swamiji's discourse on excellence in management and come across several titles that link particular meditation and breathing techniques to self management. I find it very entertaining to look at this crossfertilization of ideas. But entertainment is big business, the mind industry is big business too and so it is time to take a closer look at them. Before I proceed to do this, let me state a claimer. I have read some of the scriptures, learnt Yoga, practiced meditation and perform breatiiing exercises regularly. I am not a sceptic of the spiritual side of tilings. I was a practicing manager for 10 years and head of an educational institution for 16 years. I have a formal degree in management and claim to know a littie about the practice of management.
