Today, the objective of business is driven towards earning a profit at any cost. But, without following certain business ethics, the growth of the business can never be stable and steady for a long time. The whole idea of achieving profit at any cost is not a sustainable model for any business that wants to flourish and excel. Our ancient classic book "Bhagwad Gita" clearly states, "Ati Sarvatra Varjate" means the excess of anything is prohibited. Since the evolution, man has always been eager to experience and move forward towards newer and innovative paths. This reminds of a classic example from Ulysses written by Alfred Lord Tennyson:
"And this grey spirit yearning in desire, to follow knowledge like a sinking star, to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield."
Even Milton in his poem "Paradise Lost" talked about this eagerness and inquisitiveness of human beings
"OF Man's First Disobedience, and the Fruit, of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal taste Brought Death into the World, and all our woe."
It's all about the man's first disobedience or we can say the lack of control on his feelings/senses, which brought sorrows, miseries and pain after having been thrown out of Eden, where a man was happily placed. This is the prime reason of man's fall from the paradise. This study is an attempt to study organizational practices for developing spiritual orientation in management systems and their impact on organizational society. The study is conceptual and qualitative in nature and to carry it out certain depth interviews were conducted to understand the role of spirituality in management. The study concludes that for any organization to run effectively, spirituality is the core to attain happiness, contentment and success at the same time.

This paper talks about coping strategies utilized by three Indian women, who were subjected to severe assaults including physical assault leading to one leg being amputated, acid attack resulting into face and body deformation and sexual assault leading to mental and physical vulnerability. Incorporating semi- structured questionnaire resulting into narrative journey of their coping strategies during crisis, the responses of 3 participants were transliterated, translated and transcribed. The responses were carefully analyzed by a team of bilinguals and were found to be in 75% agreement with each other. Based on the responses of the participants, four major themes emerged in view of resilience in these women. They were family support, self- belief and self -determination, task-orientedness and positive attitude. Our study validated previous research findings in many ways and found a new dimension to task- orientedness resulting into resilience in women.Keywords
