Book Synopsis The Ethics of Oneness by : Jeremy David Engels
Download or read book The Ethics of Oneness written by Jeremy David Engels and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era defined by a sense of separation, even in the midst of networked connectivity. As cultural climates sour and divisive political structures spread, we are left wondering about our ties to each other. Consequently, there is no better time than now to reconsider ideas of unity. In The Ethics of Oneness, Jeremy David Engels reads the Bhagavad Gita alongside the works of American thinkers Ralph Waldo Emerson and Walt Whitman. Drawing on this rich combination of traditions, Engels presents the notion that individuals are fundamentally interconnected in their shared divinity. In other words, everything is one. If the lessons of oneness are taken to heart, particularly as they were expressed and celebrated by Whitman, and the ethical challenges of oneness considered seriously, Engels thinks it is possible to counter the pervasive and problematic American ideals of hierarchy, exclusion, violence, and domination.

Download or read book The Power of Ethics written by T.K.Mishra and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2021-08-04 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of our precious life is spent in material wrangling and wrestling with the ethical questions of right and wrong – which have no easy answers. This book makes an attempt to enlighten how the great Indian epic the Bhagavad-Gita illuminate our today's ethical dilemmas. Dealing with what is the right or proper course of action for man, the book seeks to answers questions, "What do we do, why do we do and how should we do?" Attempting to study right and wrong in human endeavors at a more fundamental level, it also examines the way we categorize our goals, values and methods to empower ourselves. It further seeks to answer the question, “Is the foundation of ethics based on the scriptures or on the very nature of man himself, or neither?” Ethical standards are arrived at by close examination of man's nature; value systems, his notional needs, day-to-day priorities, including his relations with others. The Bhagavad-Gita, revered as the world's oldest and most authentic scriptures, offers a very clear understanding of the people and explains human conduct very well. Drawing lessons from the Bhagavad-Gita, the book examines the role of ethics in improving performances, meeting one's demands of daily life and building one's relationships or goodwill in the society. Readers will find the analysis of Dharma vis-à-vis Power greatly exciting and insightful. It is a combination of the ethical principles and the value system, the societal and the personal, the academic and the meditative. The book shows that along with other things the Bhagavad-Gita can provide just what modern society needs. Assuming that the readers are not very familiar with scriptures, the book has taken care to explain the essence and core message of the Bhagavad-Gita in a lucid manner. Based upon the teachings, it attempts to introduce a new theory on how to acquire ethics-based power. This book is meant to benefit a learner, an ordinary man or a professional seeking solution to the existential or accomplishment problems arising out of the work-ethic dilemma.

Book Synopsis Ethics in the Mahabharata by : Sitansu S. Chakravarti
Download or read book Ethics in the Mahabharata written by Sitansu S. Chakravarti and published by Munshiram Manoharlal. This book was released on 2006 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book on Ethics draws upon the words of wisdom found in the Mahabharata, following the spirit of Bernard Williams' proposal that we look for inspiration for the modern-day ethical understanding in the ideas of the past. In elucidating the literary and religious meaning of the Mahabharata, the author probes for the ethical and epistemological truth it contains, in the frame of reference of the uniquely Indian variety of existentialism. In the process he has not only come to an understanding of the principle of morality, along with the relation holding among Satya (Factual Truth), Rta (Truth as Value) and Dharma (Righteousness in Conduct), but has come up with observations that shed fresh light on the analysis of the epic itself."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Managing by the Bhagavad Gītā by : Satinder Dhiman
Download or read book Managing by the Bhagavad Gītā written by Satinder Dhiman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gītā, a philosophical-spiritual world classic, this professional book highlights the spiritual and moral dimensions of management using an inside-out leadership development approach. It interprets the Bhagavad Gītā’s teachings on the personality types and psychological makeup of managers and employees; self-knowledge and self-mastery; and the leadership concepts of vision, motivation, and empowerment. This book covers topics such as training of the mind, ethical leadership, communication, stress management, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). Collectively, the enclosed contributions provide managers with an enhanced outlook on management functions such as leading, planning, organizing, and controlling in today’s organizations, particularly those run by knowledge workers. Management research in the 20th century has mainly focused on the industrial paradigm characterized by a hierarchical structure of authority and responsibility with an individualistic focus on the personality of the manager. However, this traditional paradigm cannot solve many of the problems that confront leaders and mangers today. Recent studies have shown that values traditionally associated with spirituality—such as integrity, honesty, trust, kindness, caring, fairness, and humility—have a demonstrable effect on managerial effectiveness and success. Although traditionally interpreted as a religious-spiritual text, the Bhagavad Gītā teaches these values which can be extrapolated and applied to practical management lessons in today’s corporate boardrooms. Applying the text of the Bhagavad Gītā to the context of management, this book views the manager as an “enlightened sage” who operates from higher stance, guided by self-knowledge and self-mastery. It demonstrates how character is the key ingredient for effective management and leadership. This book is therefore applicable to all managers, from first-line to CEOs, in their management and leadership roles in organizations.

Book Synopsis The Gita within Walden by : Paul Friedrich
Download or read book The Gita within Walden written by Paul Friedrich and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2008-10-22 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores and interprets the myriad connections between two spiritual classics, Henry David Thoreau's Walden and the Bhagavad-Gita. Evidence shows that Thoreau took the Gita with him when he moved to Walden Pond, and the books have much in common, touching on ultimate ethical and metaphysical questions. Paul Friedrich looks at how each work speaks to fundamental problems of good and evil, self and cosmos, duty and passion, reality and illusion, political engagement and philosophical meditation, sensuous wildness and ascetic devotion. His examination moves through several stages, from an analysis of key symbols, such as the upside-down tree, to an exposition of social, ethical, and metaphysical values, to a consideration of the many sources of these syncretic works. This book should be of lively interest to those concerned with the origins of Indian and American thought, activism, and poetry.
