Book Synopsis Business Sutra by : Devdutt Pattanaik
Download or read book Business Sutra written by Devdutt Pattanaik and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this landmark book, bestselling author, leadership coach and mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik shows how, despite its veneer of objectivity, modern management is rooted in Western beliefs and obsessed with accomplishing rigid objectives and increasing shareholder value. By contrast, the Indian way of doing business, as apparent in Indian mythology but no longer seen in practice accommodates subjectivity and diversity and offers an inclusive, more empathetic way of achieving success. Great value is placed on darshan, that is, on how we see the world and our relationship with Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Business Sutra uses stories, symbols and rituals drawn from Hindu, Jain and Buddhist mythology to understand a wide variety of business situations that range from running a successful tea stall to nurturing talent in a large multinational corporation. At the heart of the book is a compelling premise: if we believe that wealth needs to be chased, the workplace becomes a rana-bhoomi - a battleground of investors, regulators, employers, employees, vendors, competitors and customers, if we believe that wealth needs to be attracted, the workplace becomes a ranga-bhoomi - a playground where everyone is happy.

Book Synopsis The War Within - Between Good and Evil by : Bhimeswara Challa
Download or read book The War Within - Between Good and Evil written by Bhimeswara Challa and published by . This book was released on with total page 707 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human has always prided himself as an exceptional ‘moral species’ but has always been haunted by two questions: ‘Why am I not good when I want to be; ‘why do I do bad when I don’t want to’. This is at the heart of what scriptures and sages have long alluded to as the eternal internal struggle-between good and evil - that wages in the human consciousness. The book posits that much of our confusion and angst stems from our inability to recognize the ramifications of this ‘war’ between two sides of our own ‘self’. It is because we are ignoring this ‘war’ between two sides of our own ‘self’. It is because we are ignoring this war that we are losing all other wars of the world. That ignorance is the primary source of all the horrors, malevolence, and violence that fill us with so much dread. But a ‘favorable’ outcome is possible only if the forces of goodness are aided to get an upper hand consistently - and that calls for two cathartic changes: consciousness-change by inducing a turn from the mind to the heart; and contextual-change, by radically reconstructing the roles of morality, money, and mortality in our everyday lives. The book offers a menu of insights and options we all can use to tilt the scales in the war waging inside each of us.

Book excerpt: In exploring the essence, function, and role of religion in human societies, we have to confront a complex and multifaceted issue. Religion, as an enduring cultural phenomenon, has evolved in its connotations and denotations over time. This profound exploration into religion reveals the secrets behind the enduring vitality of religious practices and the invisible ecological nature of religion itself. It presents the power of enlightenment, transcending the realms of monks and nuns, making us realize that all beings possess Buddha-nature and the potential to attain enlightenment. Enlightenment is the foundation of faith and a pivotal moment in the course of scientifically disciplined spiritual practice. In the vast river of the universe, humanity is but a node, with an enlightened society being its ultimate destination. Through the right knowledge and insight, we ensure the absolute authority of the Sutra, approaching the original intent of the Buddha infinitely and materialistically. Employing a scientific materialist perspective to understand Buddhism is the essential path to enlightenment and mastery of objective laws. The reason religion continues to captivate people lies not only in its provision of spiritual solace but more importantly, in fulfilling the pursuit of ultimate meaning. Through its unique belief system, religion offers believers a way to interpret the world and life, often surpassing everyday experiences and logic. Moreover, religion plays a social function by propagating specific alues, thereby influencing society and maintaining social order to some extent. The essence of religion can be regarded as an objectively existing invisible ecology. This view considers religion as a manifestation of a special relationship between humans and nature and the universe, representing humanity's attempt to understand and master the world. The sacred reality in religion provides people with a spiritual refuge beyond reality, enabling them to find strength and hope when facing difficulties and challenges in life. Third, enlightenment is the essence of Buddha-nature; it is not confined to monks or nuns. This view highlights the importance of "self-awakening" in Buddhism. Every individual has the potential to become enlightened. It is not limited to monks or nuns but open to anyone willing and able to follow the correct practices. This perspective encourages personal spiritual enhancement and self-improvement through inner cultivation and practice. The belief that all beings possess Buddha-nature signifies everyone's potential for enlightenment. Grounded in a fundamental doctrine of Buddhism, it suggests that all living beings inherently possess supreme Buddha-nature, which can be gradually unveiled by the correct practice, removing ignorance and delusion, ultimately achieving enlightenment. This highlights Buddhism's affirmation of individual potential and the possibility of self-transcendence through practice. In summary, religion, as a complex cultural phenomenon, extends far beyond mere superstition or spiritual reliance. It influences the development and future of human societies with correct knowledge and insight. Religion serves both as an individual's spiritual pursuit and a societal value system. Through a deep understanding and study of religion, we can better recognize its significant status in human history and culture, as well as its positive contributions to individual and societal development. This journey of exploration is not only a reflection on religion itself but also an inquiry into human civilization, transcending traditional religious boundaries, Integrating science and faith, and opening a path to enlightenment. In this era of challenge and transformation, this book offers a guiding light, leading us towards a deeper reflection and cognition, Illuminating a promising path for humanity's future.
Book Synopsis Good and Evil by : Bhimeswara Challa
Download or read book Good and Evil written by Bhimeswara Challa and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By any measure, we are at an inflection point in human history. As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has shown, it is not only the planet that is at risk but our very destiny. We must take an unblinking look at who we are compared with who we want to be or ought to be. That entails going within to discover what is happening deep inside our consciousness. This book suggests that the root of our troubles is our ignorance that there is a perennial war within each of us between good and evil. Like in any war, both sides need supplies. But in this internal war, they must come from outside, in the shape of our daily doings and choices. As you read, you’ll get a roadmap on how to make better decisions and contain the evil within. Get answers to questions such as: • Why must we fix the inside before fixing the outside? • How can we prevent evil from overwhelming our consciousness? • How can the good inside of us overwhelm the bad outside? There is no nobler calling for any of us at this pivotal point than to volunteer to join others committed to bettering themselves so we can rescue mankind from self-annihilation.

Book Synopsis Shiva Sutras by : Swami Sukhabodhananda
Download or read book Shiva Sutras written by Swami Sukhabodhananda and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2015-01-27 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ability is an important tool in life. Ability without commitment and awareness is like a vehicle without the engine. The Shiva Sutra enhances one’s awareness in a way one sees an opportunity in a difficulty and not a difficulty in an opportunity. There is an ‘outside reality’ and an ‘inside reality’ of one’s mind. There is also another dimension called ‘spiritual reality’. To harmonize all of them is a great awakening. Ordinary being loves one’s own ‘psycho dramas’ of justification, proving one’s point of view, blaming, being helpless... and this leads one to a state of inner poverty. To free oneself from these lower states of poverty and see them as ‘errors in one’s thinking’ is part of being effective and experiencing inner prosperity. The profound teaching of Lord Shiva introduces us to A Bigger Container where one learns to be charitable to one’s own self. This practice of making A Bigger Container is essentially spiritual. Dive deep into these mystic teachings. —Swami Sukhabodhananda

Book Synopsis PATANJALI'S YOGA SUTRA by : Shyam Ranganathan
Download or read book PATANJALI'S YOGA SUTRA written by Shyam Ranganathan and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2008-05-30 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A contemporary interpretation of the foundational text for the practice of yoga. Patañjali’s Yoga Sutra (second century CE) is the basic text of one of the nine canonical schools of Indian philosophy. In it the legendary author lays down the blueprint for success in yoga; now practised the world over. Patañjali draws upon many ideas of his time; and the result is a unique work of Indian moral philosophy that has been the foundational text for the practice of yoga since. The Yoga Sutra sets out a sophisticated theory of moral psychology and perhaps the oldest theory of psychoanalysis. For Patañjali; present mental maladies are a function of subconscious tendencies formed in reaction to past experiences. He argues that people are not powerless against such forces and that they can radically alter their lives through yoga—a process of moral transformation and perfection; which brings the body and mind of a person in line with their true nature. Accompanying this illuminating translation is an extended introduction that explains the challenges of accurately translating Indian philosophical texts; locates the historical antecedents of Patañjali’s text and situates Patanjali’s philosophy within the history of scholastic Indian philosophy.
Book Synopsis The Talent Sutra by : Devdutt Pattanaik
Download or read book The Talent Sutra written by Devdutt Pattanaik and published by Rupa Publications India Pvt Limited. This book was released on 2016 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge in Hinduism, as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. Her name is derived from the fluidity (saras) of the imagination. Human imagination enables us to invent and innovate, visualize, plan and de-risk. Yet imagination is a bad word in the world of business and management. It strips us of certainty. We want to control the imagination of those who work for us, prevent their minds from wandering from work. Yet every human being lives in an imagined reality. Recognizing this enables us to work with talent, build strong relationships and nurture people to face any situation with faith and patience. Failure to recognize imagination is why family-owned businesses are unable to manage professionals and how professionally- run companies end up creating ineffective, mechanistic talent management systems. Training, learning and development, are not just about skills and knowledge and competencies, they are about appreciating the human-animal, recognizing that neither we nor those around us are programmable machines that we can plug and play. Managing people, hence relationships, is key to the survival of an organization. Derived from Devdutt Pattanaik's influential bestseller Business Sutra, this book explores concepts like creativity in the workplace, nurturing talent and the importance of teamwork. It will help employers and managers become more inclusive leaders who are able to carry their team along with them.
