2 Synopsis of The Yogic Manager The Yogic Manager is a business novel that was written to bridge Yoga-Vedanta and Management. The foreword was written by Dr. Dipak C. Jain, Dean of INSEAD. The book is a modern retelling of the ancient Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata. The epic s war of Kurukshetra has been recreated in the world of business at a consulting firm called Characterra Consulting. The protagonist is Arjun Atmanand who faces a crisis when his conscience clashes with the instructions of his boss and Characterra s founder, Raja Sahamkar. To help him with his crisis, Arjun receives advice from Yogi, a being with supernatural powers. Arjun learns Yoga and Vedanta from Yogi, which he uses to build a bridge between Yoga-Vedanta and Management. Arjun develops a set of Yogic Management frameworks and principles that are the foundations of this bridge. By reading and studying this book, you will: Start to challenge conventional ways of thinking about business and gain a new, holistic perspective of Management; Learn the principles and frameworks of Yogic Management, which you can then apply immediately to your work; Become a more productive knowledge worker by learning how to control and channel the power of the instrument of knowledge work, your mind; Gain fulfillment through your work and, in the process, contribute toward the betterment of society and all life on Earth; Gain practical advice on how to build physical, mental, intellectual, and spiritual strength; Live a balanced and purposeful life by going through the four phases prescribed in Yoga- Vedanta; and Join, should you wish to, the evolution of Management, a movement that will elevate the human condition and restore harmony to an imbalanced planet
3 Principles of Yogic Management 1. Through meditation and intuition, use your mind as a sixth sense to access the infinite library of the universe 2. Mature your mind and awaken your Intellect by cultivating wisdom and expanding your consciousness 3. Channel the fire of your mind toward illumination, not toward ignorance or destruction 4. Achieve guaranteed success by performing work for the sake of the work and not for the results of the work. Let the ends and the means be joined as one by treating your work as the ends as well as the means to the end 5. Practicing non-attachment to the fruits (results) of work, focus on what you can influence, on your contributions, knowledge, and actions. Do not get distracted and waste your energy worrying about future outcomes that are not completely under your influence 6. Make decisions with a pure motive and then perform actions with a positive mind and by using proper means 7. Live a balanced lifestyle by being balanced in work, relaxation, recreation, and all other activities 8. Always treat people equally. Never discriminate against anybody based on their gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, or any other criteria 9. Fill your mind with positive, pure, and righteous thoughts, which you put into practice in words, spoken or written, and in deeds performed. Establish your character by always practicing good thoughts, words, and deeds 10. Make character the most important criteria you use when you hire employees. A position is never wasted if it is assigned to the good and righteous 11. Derive strength from your Atma, the source of tremendous light and energy that resides within your body s five sheaths. Don t limit your potential for greatness by relying on praise or competition from external sources for your motivation 12. Understand that true education teaches humility and builds character, which leads to wealth, Dharma and happiness 13. Pursue education and wealth as if you were to live forever. Practice Dharma as if you were to die at any moment 14. Live a purposeful life by living an L-shaped or U-shaped life 15. Always consider Dharma (righteousness, duty) above wealth (income, savings) and wealth above pleasure (expenses, consumption) 16. Establish Dharma in the world of business by practicing Yogic Management 17. Practice a holistic blend of the four Yogas of wisdom, meditation, devotion, and service 18. Always take into consideration the environmental implications of all your actions in work and in life. True wisdom leads to living in harmony with the Earth and all life on Earth
4 Information is a subset of data, just as the senses are a subset of the physical body. All information is data. But only data that has been put into a formation that makes sense, can be called information. Knowledge (jnana) is a subset of information, just as the mind (man) is a subset of the senses. All knowledge is information. But only that information that has been applied for results can be called knowledge. Wisdom (vijnana) is a subset of knowledge, just as the Intellect (buddhi) is a subset of the mind. All wisdom is knowledge. But only that knowledge that has been applied for righteousness (Dharma) can be called wisdom. Intuitive-wisdom (prajna) is a subset of wisdom. All intuitive-wisdom is wisdom. But only wisdom that is gained intuitively by focusing on the Atma and internally toward the spiritual world can be properly called intuitive-wisdom.

7 A Yogic Manager practicing Karma-Yoga makes decisions with a pure motive and then performs action with a positive mind and by using proper means. A Yogic Manager works for the sake of Dharma (righteousness, duty) while remaining non-attached to the results (fruits) of work. Before performing any work, three questions need to be answered: 1. Are my decisions based on pure motives? 2. Am I performing work with a positive mind? 3. Am I using proper means?
8 Knowledge Work Equation Knowledge (jnana) + Action (karma) = Results (karma-phala) K + A = R The knowledge we now consider knowledge proves itself in action. What we now mean by knowledge is information effective in action, information focused on results. The results are seen outside the person in society and economy, or in the advancement of knowledge itself. Peter Drucker In the beginning (of creation), O sinless one, the twofold path of devotion was given by Me to this world; the path of knowledge (jnana) for the meditative, the path of work (karma) for the active. Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, 3.3 Thy right is to work (karma) only; but never to the fruits thereof. Be thou not the producer of the fruits of (thy) actions; neither let thy attachment be towards inaction. Being steadfast in Yoga, Dhananjaya [Prince Arjuna], perform actions, abandoning attachment, remaining unconcerned as regards success and failure. This samatvam [evenness, balance] of mind (in regard to success and failure) is known as Yoga. Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, 2.47, 48 Work for work s sake. There are some who are really the salt of the earth in every country and who work for work s sake, who do not care for name, or fame, or even to go to heaven. They work just because good will come of it. Swami Vivekananda The essential difference between Management and Yoga-Vedanta is in which side of the Knowledge Work Equation the focus is on. Management is focused on results, i.e., the righthand side or RHS of the equation. In Yoga-Vedanta, the focus is on the left-hand side or LHS of the equation, i.e., on doing the work while remaining non-attached to the results (fruits) of the work.

12 Yogic Management Mantra From the unreal, lead me to the real, From darkness, lead me to light, From mortality, lead me to immortality, From ignorance, lead me to knowledge, From knowledge, lead me to wisdom, From performing work as war, lead me to performing work as worship, From practicing the art of war, lead me to practicing Yoga, the art of work, From doing the right things right, lead me to do the righteous thing righteously, From living an i-shaped life or I-shaped life, lead me to living an L-shaped life or U-shaped life, From building credit history, lead me to building karmic history, From being encaged in ignorance, lead me to being engaged in wisdom, meditation, devotion, and service, From thinking the Earth exists for humans, lead me to understand that humans cannot exist without the Earth.
