Bhagavad Gita contains several slokas of much significance to the art and science of management and administration. The main theme of “Management and Bhagavad Gita” is man’s bounden duties and their efficient accomplishment to help attain the ultimate goal. The philosophy of management and the Gita propound that all human actions are directed towards a goal and that man will not relent unless and until he attains the goal. Management is getting things done by others. It is only through direction, coordination, motivation and leadership one can lead others to attainment of the goal. This is exactly what SriKrishna did in the case of Arjuna in metamorphosing him into a spirited karma yogi. Action is a natural process while idleness is unnatural. To be active is an enchanting experience. Man may be inherently idle. But he can be stimulated to reach his highest potentials. Modern anagement is more concerned about productive potentials and spiritual efficiency - spiritual efficiency is the underlying factor in prosperity. According to Gita, yoga is efficiency in action. Spirituality is the energy behind every success. The quality of work, in fact, is the reflection of spiritual efficiency. It is this spiritual efficiency reflected in the quality of work that brings prosperity. Bhagavad Gita beautifully blends the man of action and man of wisdom. Their convergence brings success, development and prosperity. In the modern cyber age, we integrate Human Resource Management (HRM) and Information Technology (IT) for facilitating managerial effectiveness. In modern days; we have to transform our society’s impotent idleness into energized entrepreneurship. Bhagavad Gita is capable in inspiring the idle to be o spirited karma yogis, in revolutionizing the worshippers of idleness into warriors of action.
