What is Management ?

MANAGEMENT
A DISCIPLINE BORROWED FROM THE WEST HAS REDUCED
MAN TO A MERE WORKER, ALWAYS IN THE STREAM OF
ECONOMIC ORDER.
Only The material progress has become the Index
of Growth, Development and prosperity.

SRI AUROBINDO SAYS
The grand workshop of spiritual experiment, the
laboratory of soul has been INDIA, where
Thousands of great spirits have been born in
every generation who were content to work quietly
in their own souls, perfect their knowledge, hand
down their results of their experiments to a few
disciplines and leave the rest to others to
complete.
6
The work which India has to do for humanity is a
work which no other nation can accomplish
- the spiritualization of
race - whole globe.
Sri Aurobindo
SABCL Vol. 1 P 799

Definition

• Charity begins at home, likewise management
  begins from man.
• Management means computation of gone-by, care of
  the current caution for the future.
• Maximum of results with minimization of
  resources through better allocation utilization
  process, is perhaps the test of a better
  management system.

The Negation of Management is

• Disorder
• Confusion
• Wastage
• Detention
• Delay
• Decadent
• Death

9
Western Management specially USA Insists upon

• More and more goods
• Still better Variety of Good
• Cheaper Goods irrespective of cost, Quality
  and Service
• Interest for profit all round

Resulted
No more common understanding between WORKERS and
MANAGERS
10
To the Western Management
The worker is all, MAN stands no where, Worker is
a hired commodity.
This is SOULLESS Management
Disregard of human approach, Loss of Human Values
and erosion of human touch in Organizational
Hierarchy are the results.
11
In this process
Wealth is gained, but soul is Lost
While the soul within remains defectively
organized there will always be outward unrest,
disorder and Revolution.
Sri Aurobindo
The Hour of God
12
For Man Intellectually developed, mighty
unscientific knowledge and mastery, the elements
as his Servants and the world as his Foot stool,
but undeveloped in heart and spirit becomes only
inferior kind of ASURA, using the powers of a
demigod to satisfy the nature of an animal.
Sri Aurobindo

Values

• If the self is widened and deepened so that
  protection of free nature is felt and conceived
  as protection of ourselves .... --
  (Arne Naess)

..... just as we need no morals to make us
breathe ... (so) if our self in the wide sense
embraces another being, we need no moral
exhortation to show care.
14
Values
(contd.)
The two tendencies - Self assertive and
Integrative are essential aspects of all
living system. Neither is intrinsically good or
bad. What is good or healthy is a - Dynamic
Balance what is bad or unhealty is a- Imbalance
or Over emhasis of one tendency and Neglect
of other
Western industrial culture or Corporate culture
anywhere in the world have overemphasized the
Self Assertive and neglected the Integrative
tendencies. More so self assertive values are
associated with Men in our society.

  has led to formulate a model, most comprehensive

  LIVING VIBRANT, SELF ORGANIZING SYSTEM.

Yoga approach to Management
Entire Cosmos is an intricate web of
interpenetrating things and events.
The bootstrap image of reality put forward by
Geoffrey Chew shows that Boot straps cannot be
loosened any where without so loosening it every
where and it cannot be tightened up at every
other point as well. So complete and
uncompromising is the UNITY and INTERDEPENDENCE.
18
The Cardinal assumptions of Spiritual approach
are

• Harmony
• Interdependence
• Unity
• Creativity
• Evolutionary possibilities

We are all in it
Managers as well as work force Vice
Chancellor as well as Faculty, students and
staff Land Owners as well as Farm
hands Commander in Chief as well as
soldiers Executive heads as well as rest of
establishment

Stress on Karma Yoga in Geeta has been referred
as Yogah Karmasu Kaushalam
What is Kaushalam It is a very different order of
skill that Sri Krishna has in mind, as may be
seen here the liberated who has united his
reason and will with divine Rises to a higher law
beyond good and evil Action done in yoga is not
only highest but also wisest, the most potent and
efficient even for the affairs of world.
Yoga is skill in all works - Sri Aurobindo
21

all things.

towards the God-consciousness from which he has

Yoga and Management
Yoga begins when Man Awakens to an existence
beyond, when he senses or feels a greater
consciousness operative in the world, when he
turns inwards seeks to discover the divine in
himself, in the world or Beyond.
Prayer is an attempt to Harness the Divine for
ones own Ends
40
Managements aims should be

• At developing an integrated man,
• A psychic man,with vision
• A spiritual man with developed Self
• A perfect man and An Individual

SUCH AN INDIVIDUAL ALONE WILL CONSTITUTE A HUMAN
FACTOR OF 21ST CENTURY
41
HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT

• In each individual there is a core or essence,
  which is an independent perfect constant,
  characterized by
• unchanging self-existence poornatwa (wholeness)
  and ananda (bliss).
• It lies obscured and unfelt because of the
  mental and corporeal egoistic superimpositions.

Contd
42
By patient detachment if this layer is thinned or
removed, the individual core Self and the
Universal Self then come into immediate contact.
All actions by the individual then become true
and correct since they are thereafter the
expressions of the error-free Universal or
Divine Will, or The Transcendental Self,
Intelligence, Truth, Consciousness.
43
Nishkam- Karma
Study Practice of Nishkam- Karma leads to
                     A stress-free mind at
work,                    A feeling for works as
act of consecration,                    A pure,
transparent mind,                    An abiding
instinct for ethical rectitude,                  
  An inner sanctuary of fullness,                
    An all-embracing , other-related mind.
Contd
44
All of them, in turn, should catalyze, in the
course of time, a humble yearning for the Cosmic
Will, the infallible Supreme Intelligence, the
Secret Intent. This feeling will energize,
empower and align the worker with the most
unitive, holistic of all forces.
