Understanding Bhagvath  Geeta in the current Management context 


Why Would a text which is approximately 50 centuries old still relevant in the current day ?

Each one of us are Arjuna in the modern World 

The setting of the Geeta is symbolic of the battlefield of life, but more importantly, it is symbolic of the battlefield within all of us.
Our life is a constant turmoil between positive and negative impulses, between the pleasant and the better, between our likes and dislikes, between the good and the bad.
Even though the Geeta is the record of a dialogue centuries ago, it is relevant to any age since it addresses fundamental questions that arise in the human heart.
Through the vista of epic literature, we are able to hear and see the sacred dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna.  Arjuna’s despondency is our despondency.  His questions are our questions.  As we read the Geeta, it is as if we are in direct communion with the great sage embodied in the personality of Krishna.

Does the above picture ring a bell in your minds we are in the same turmoil that Arjuna was about 6000 Years ago but the battle field as changed but the challenges and the mindset the failures the problems are manifested in different forms.

Sri Krishna plays several roles when you start reading the Bhagavad Geetha
Chapter 1
Sri Krishna doesn’t utter a single word and plays a role of counsellor
- Listening Skills
-Amicable Approach

   -Resourcefulness

-Application of Technique to only those who seek Guidance

-Elevated Mind set and Attitude 


To be continued ...
