• Sri Bhagwadgita has been straight
from the Lord Sri Krishna and the
recipient directly was Sri Arjuna and
by ways of association Dhrutarashtra
and Sanjaya.
• One has to visit Sri Bhagwadgita like a
morning walk on the Seashores which
looks infinite; dip the self and a fingers
and feet on its shores and it shall be
only rare on earth who shall dive into it
totally to travel the length, width,
distances and dimensions of Sri
Bhagwadgita. That is the longest
journey perhaps of the Self.
• We perhaps can read a Sloka or a
word from a sloka and if we have
meditated on the word quite
comprehensively and also
conceptualized and seeded that
concept on the soil of inner soul; then
perhaps sprouting knowledge one
can write in these columns.
Sloka 1 and Chapter 1.
Said and stated Dhruthrashtra to Sanjaya.
In management aspects: at least self and someone else is required. There has
to be a dialogue and communications: asking and knowing are two key
aspects of the management.
The address to Sanjaya is what the elder must do a respected junior. There is a
DharmaBhoomi: the field, the boundaries, the limits of operations; where
there are individuals, groups for defined objectives; there is a Kurukshetra;
Kshetra ; means the objects of a subject; normally management is done to
correct the deficiencies; to control the good parts; and ensure continual
improvements in the system; management is done to bring back the system
to intended accuracies, precisions and specifications.
In sloka 1, there is a word Yuddh- war. This word should not be taken straight
as War as the contemporarily it suggests. Life is a war: wherein we are
pouring our energies to make things happen and shape as per the intended
desires. And there is a curiosity. Each one is filled with curiosity. Top
management and we. What happened; who did; what has been achieved. So
in Sloka 1, curiosity takes birth:
• Hey Sanjaya: curiosity 1.
Meaning-"Thy business is with the action only, never with its fruits;
so let not the fruits of action be thy motive, nor be thou to inaction
attached."
Till now people use to study it for gaining spiritual knowledge but
now we are learning from the west that you can apply it in our
business as well. If it is relevent even after thousands of years i am
pretty sure that it will be relevent forever.we just have to wait and
watch in what all fields and areas we can apply this and find
success.
• “Whatever the excellent and best ones do, the
commoners follow,” says Sri Krishna in the Gita.
The visionary leader must be a missionary,
extremely practical, intensively dynamic and
capable of translating dreams into reality. This
dynamism and strength of a true leader flows
from an inspired and spontaneous motivation to
help others. “I am the strength of those who are
devoid of personal desire and attachment.
O Arjuna, I am the legitimate desire in
those, who are not opposed to righteousness,”
says Sri Krishna in the 10th Chapter of the
Gita.
