Indian management concept based on Bhagwad Gita, Veda, Ramayana, which deals with universal truth of life. Management consultants and visionary managers are getting interested and focusing towards the ageless, wisdom oriented, values and ideologies content in the Bhagwad Gita, the Upanishads or the Ramayana.


For example, teamwork is an important principle in management, and Rama applied the same in search of Sita and was successful in the mission. Another one is in an organization one must be treated affectionately which Rama did when he met Vibhishan.


Management principles such as encouraging lower category of employees, rewards for good work, self-motivation, decision-making, recognition, market survey, market exploitation, time management and the art of communication are aligned with instances in the epic.


In this modern world the art of Management has become a part and parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or factory and in Government.
In all organizations, where a group of human beings assemble for a common purpose irrespective of caste, creed, and religion, management principles come into play through the management of resources, finance and planning, priorities, policies and practice. Management is a systematic way of carrying out activities in any field of human effort.
One of the greatest contributions of India to the world is Holy Gita which is considered to be one of the first revelations from God.


The management lessons in this holy book were brought in to light of the world by divine Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Swami Bodhanandji, and the spiritual philosophy by the great Adi Sankaracharya the greatest philosopher of India


Bhagavad-Gita the essence of Vedic Literature and a complete guide to practical life. It provides "all that is needed to raise the consciousness of man to the highest possible level." Maharishi reveals the deep, universal truths of life that speak to the needs and aspirations of everyone.
One of the most obvious incidences, in which use management principles is very clearly visible is that of Hanuman going to Lanka. His mission was to locate Sita there and give her Lord Ram’s message.


When it became clear that Sita was in Lanka, Jamvant asked Hanuman to go there.


He helped him in realizing his true potential and motivated him to go in the enemy’s camp. Once mentally prepared for the job and reached there, first thing which Hanuman did was to completely analyze the situation in Lanka.


He did a complete study about the Lankans, assessing their strengths and weaknesses, the various threats and opportunities which he had in the enemy’s camp.

This is what management is all about

• Ascertaining the goals, or job to be done.

• Getting mentally prepared for it.

• Having a right plan.

• Analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the competitor and what threats and opportunities are there in the business.

This SWOT [strength, weakness, opportunities and threats] analysis is one of the most important aspects of modern day management. Moreover Jamvant motivating Hanuman is a classic example of a good Manager helping his personnel to realize their potential and acting accordingly.
The other example is about of good and bad managers.

A good manager is the one, who can get his work done even from the rivals. In Ramayana Sughriv has shown some of the best managerial characteristics.

As a successful manager he had Ram to work accordingly and got his kingdom back from a brother who was far mightier than him.

A good example of getting into strategic alliance with others to achieve your desired goal. Using his managerial skills he even had Angad to work for him. Angad was the son of his brother whom he got killed by Ram. Had Sughriv been a bad manager then the same Angad would have proved to be his arch nemesis.

In the same Ramayana, again and again Ravana has shown the signs of a bad manager, and hence led to the demise of his kingdom. From the starting itself he ignored the suggestions of his managers and got his kingdom in the state of war with Ram.

Moreover during a crisis, a company needs its best of the managers to bail it out of the same. A good manager listens to what his subordinates has to say and tries to keep them together especially when the organization needs them the most.

But Ravana’s mismanagement was responsible for Vibhishan [one of the wisest manager he should have listened to leaving him amidst a crisis].
It is said that businesses are run on relations. A manager who can nurture good relations with the employees, clients and anyone in whose contact the organization and the manager comes in, can do wonders for his company. Lord Ram was very good at it.
