Bhagavad Gita for Minimizing Dark Side of Leadership

The Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) leadership theory emphasizes the dynamic relationship between leaders and followers. Further, LMX differentiation proposes that leaders divide their teams into in-groups and out-groups based on the quality of the relationship. In this process, the criteria for selecting in-group members are majorly based on personal preferences rather than objectivity. Further, the in-group members build confidence in the leader to minimize leader insecurity in the workplace. The out-group members bear the brunch of such an understanding between the leader and in-group members. This situation can be referred to as the Dark side of leadership, where followers are given differential treatment. This study takes insights from ancient scriptures of the Bhagavad Gita (BG), where the leader is seen as a trustee, to reduce this differentiation and increase leader security. The paper attempts to explore and extract the concepts from BG and apply them to leadership theory and practice. It is found that the BG provides solutions to reduce leadership deficit (LD) and have a conducive work environment (CWE), and it does not ask for any financial investments. The paper’s findings facilitate business leaders in reducing in-group and out-group categorizing and leader insecurity leading to effective leadership for better business results.

Hindu versus christian perspectives on victory, god’s will and love: a comparative study

This research paper investigates two literary texts, one is an ancient Indian epic Bhagavad Gita (The Song of the Lord) anonymously written between (500 -200 BC) while the second is a historical novel Manuscript Found in Accra by Paulo Coelho. Though the two texts may vary in their genre and their religious tradition, they still share significant features. The first is related to the setting. The first shared feature is army preparation for a war which is going to happen soon based on the setting of both texts. The second feature, in common with the two texts, is in connection with their narrative structures. Both texts are based on a question-answer dialogue, a discourse between two parties of characters. The third significant characteristic shared by the two texts is in connection with their core religious, spiritual, and philosophical themes. Arjuna, in Bhagavad Gita, and the people of Jerusalem, in Manuscript Found in Accra, agitatedly ask their spiritual leaders, Krishna, in the first text, and the Copt, in the second, religious and ethical questions. These questions evidently refer to key subjects which are victory in a military combat, God’s will and volition and love between man and God and among human beings. While analyzing these themes, the discussion thoroughly probes through the two texts’ religious contexts: the Hindu theologian tradition and Biblical teachings. The aim is to meticulously examine the points of disparity between the Hindu versus the Christian understanding of victory in the battlefield, God’s will and love, which are the core themes in this analysis.

Using tenets from the Bhagavad Gita in counselling diaspora Hindu older adults: Impact on stress mitigation and improving quality of life

AbstractThis article reports a study on the impact of a Bhagavad Gita (BG) text‐based counselling programme for long‐term immigrant diaspora Hindu older adults in the US and UK. Compared with the journal writing sessions, participants of the BG lessons reported lower stress and better quality of life post‐test (p ≤ 0.025; Hedges' g = −0.65–0.36). Results of the latent class analyses highlighted complex behaviour patterns in the post‐test dataset and foregrounded six classes/subgroups of participants likely to gain most from the BG programme: older adult females, diaspora Hindu older adults with postgraduate‐professional qualifications, widowed older adults, those living alone or with other kith‐kin, those with above threshold programme compliance (defined as those who attended 13–24 (>50%) BG lessons, and completed 13–24 (>50%) BG homework lessons). Overall, the results of the study endorse the connection between age and religiosity and support a BG text‐based counselling programme as a workable strategy for long‐term immigrant diaspora Hindu older adults. The BG text provides a firm ethnoculturally grounded counselling approach to work with diaspora Hindu older adult clients, taking cognisance of their intersectional realities. It may help them cope with the dynamics of the modern, traditional, and continuously shifting realities in a foreign milieu.

The Pyramid of Values: Value-based Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita

The Bhagavad Gita (BG) is studied from spiritual, theological and religious perspective. It is a collection of 700 verses wherein beset by compassion and grief, Arjuna loses the will to fight and has a nervous breakdown. The supreme lord Srikrishna’s preachings by which he convincingly manages to motivate Arjuna to fight his enemies with determination constitutes the gist the BG. It is considered as ‘India’s book of Answers’ to all the problems of human civilization and has inspired generations over thousands of years. Srikrishna preaches three-fold path of: i) Action (Karma); ii) Devotion (Bhakti) and iii) Knowledge / Intellect (Jnana) emphasizing that the greatest battles are fought in one’s own mind. Wisdom from the BG is increasingly recognized in the field of leadership and management. It emphasizes that the core of leadership lies in one’s character and is influenced by ‘Value’ systems and combination of three key ‘Personality’ traits. A good leader should cultivate ‘Sattvic’ virtues and act selflessly for greater good of all with judicious use of power that comes with authority. The principle leadership lessons taught by BG are: i) To know thyself; ii) Practice renunciation by selfless service; iii) Fearless action with integrity; iv) Embrace formidable challenges with a prepared mind to face them and v) Moral righteousness. The BG recommends one to approach leadership role with an attitude as a custodian who protects and motivates his team by practising the art of ‘Active Listening’. Incorporating the teachings of BG would facilitate a leader to be free of bias, observe equanimity and make wise decisions leading to contentment and inner peace.

Arjunopākhyāna: An Idealist Non-dualistic Translation of the Bhagavadgītā

Abstract This paper suggests that the narrative retelling of the Bhagavadgītā (BhG) dialogue that occurs in the sixth book of the Mokṣopāya (MU) (ca. 950 CE) known as the Arjunopākhyāna (AU) functions as a polemic style semantic translation that shifts the meaning of the original story with which it shares content, characters, elements and verses, illustrating a different doctrine in the process. Just over thirty quoted verses from the BhG are recontextualized and merged seamlessly with verses that are original to the MU, translating them into the non-dualistic, idealist conceptual language of the MU. The nonduality at the heart of Vasiṣṭha’s teaching in the MU is different from the theistic Sāṃkhya-influenced duality of Kṛṣṇa’s discourse in the BhG. Puruṣa and prakṛti are consistently replaced in the AU by an all-encompassing singular consciousness whose cosmic mind imagines everything, including Kṛṣṇa, all subjective agency, worship and liberation.

Perubahan Gaya Resitasi Raja Guhya Yoga dalam Bhagawad Gita: Studi Kasus di Pura Mutihan Sangga Buana Klaten

This scientific research, entitled “Changes in the Recitation Style of Raja Guhya Yoga in the Bhagavad Gita: Case Study at the Mutihan Sangga Buana Temple in Klaten”, is based at the aforementioned phenomena observed on the dharma gita at Pura Mutihan Sangga Buana, Gantiwarno, Klaten. Musical changeshave happenedin the way scriptures are recited, particularly in regard with the sloka form. Changes in the developingrecitation systems and methods become important to be studied and written on academic papers. Initially, the dharma gita was recited in the Sruti style, the standardised style used in sloka and mantra recitations. However, the year 2014 saw the beginning of a new era where a style called Irama Prabu Darmayasa began to be used instead of the standard Sruti style. Soon afterwards, another new style emerged where the dharma gita started to be sung in the Kinanthi Salisirstyle accompanied with Gendhing Ketawang Subakastawa. This research employs theories on cultural changes to analyse the data, such as those by Koentjaraningrat, Gillin & Gillin, and Soemardjan. It discusses factors that trigger the development of a tradition, namely 1) the achievement-motivated development and 2) the social frustration-based development.Such theories are considered suitable to study the field phenomena, particularly the change in dharma gita recitational style that are based on the abovementioned factors. In fact, the writer finds that the on cultural changes are best used to analyse the topic when combined with Supanggah’s theory of style.

Need of bhagavad gita concepts to solve emotional and intellectual conflict

Bhagavad means ‘God ‘and ‘Gita‘ means ‘song‘. ‘Bhagavad Gita‘ therefore, can be translated as ‘The song of our lord Krishna, one of many incarnations of the Lord, explains that he lives in each and every one of us, meaning that ‘song of our Lord‘ is also the song that praises the beautiful divine within each one of us. It goes without saying that society is suffering from emotional and intellectual conflict. An intellectual conflict is a conflict of thoughts and ideas while an emotional conflict is a conflict of feelings. Intellectual conflicts start in our minds. Unlike opinions based on intellectual thoughts but feelings do not need a logical basis. For this reason, they cannot be reasoned away. Emotions affect how we see ourselves, our friend, family and people we love. Everybody is in dilemma that should listen to heart or brain. One can see that the Bhagavad-Gita takes a more comprehensive view about this. Arjuna like any other human being was confused for battle because he was to fight with his kith and kin. At present also men and women when they have to take difficult decisions that may often conflict with their long held opinions. Lord Krishna gave the knowledge and solution to Arjun for coming out this conflict. Not only in ancient time but in modern era also Lord Krishna morals and values can bring radical change for our society. This paper explores the ideas given by Lord Krishna to minimize the society‘s suffering regarding emotional & intellectual conflict. The novels have been taken The Serpent and The Rope, Bye Bye Blackbird and A Passage to India.

Note a margine su natura demoniaca, sessualità e donna in Bhagavadgītā As It Is di A. C. Bhaktivedānta Svāmī Prabhupāda

The article analyses three recurring concepts in the Bhagavadgītā As It Is written by Bhaktivedānta Svāmī Prabhupāda (the founder of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement): the demoniac nature, the sexuality, and the woman. The research investigates the use and meaning of these three concepts and how they are linked to each other by a basic doctrine of aversion of materiality. The doctrine of Svāmī Prabhupāda will be defined a “Traditional Worldly Asceticism” as a result of a comparison between the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement and the works and ideas of western scholars such as Wilhelm Halbfass and Max Weber.
