Unlike all other English translations of the Bhagavad Gita — which are either too literal and abstract, or written in very formal, incomprehensible English, or are philosophically one-sided — this reader-friendly “transcreation” offers an unbiased philosophical perspective and presents the main religious and philosophical themes of the Bhagavad Gita in simple, ordinary language easily accessible to today's readers. It enables them to read this great work as if it were originally written in their own language — and to capture the excitement of discovering its relevance to their own lives. Begins with a brief introduction and a short story outline of the Bhagavad Gita. Presents the actual transcreation of the text of the Bhagavad Gita in eighteen chapters -- each beginning with a succinct summary of the main issues covered — thus providing a continuing thematic map to the philosophical religious territory of the Bhagavad Gita. Concludes with an Afterword that presents a succinct analysis of classical, modern, contemporary, and recent interpretations of the Bhagavad Gita — and reveals the importance of this great text for Hindus as well as for the world. Translates all Sanskrit words into simple English words, and describes difficult words and major names in simple language in footnotes at the bottom of each page and in a glossary at the back of the text. For anyone interested in the Bhagavad Gita or Asian philosophy or religions.

Traditional scholars of philosophy and religion, both East and West, often place a major emphasis on analyzing the nature of ?the self.? In recent decades, there has been a renewed interest in analyzing self, but most scholars have not claimed knowledge of an ahistorical, objective, essential self free from all cultural determinants.

Indian Managers and Organizations: Boons and Burdens

Culture is critical to individuals and organizations. This book takes a close look into the way Indian managers work, their inner struggles, and forces that shape their behaviour. It presents an original framework developed by the author -- the Existential Universe Mapper (EUM), a pluralistic and non-reductionist model of management that uses a new psychometric instrument to map individual and organization identity. The model restrains from placing any phenomenon into frozen categories and enables an understanding of their interplay. The volume points to India's ambivalent relationship with modernity, and the consequent difficulty of Indian managers in embracing the imperatives of the corporate world that are largely based on Anglo-Saxon frames. This book will be of interest to those in business management, human resource management, leadership studies, corporate governance, industries, education, social sector, governance, psychology, and sociology. It will be particularly relevant for scholars, educators, consultants, practitioners of management and corporate leaders.

Child Man: The Selfless Narcissist

There is a part of us which neither listens to the voice of reason nor submit easily to social/moral conventions. Like a child, it relentlessly pursues whatever catches its fancy and keeps playing with fire. It can either help us actualize our heroic potential or put us on the road to self-destruction. Perhaps the key to this difference lies in what we do with our emotional/psychic wounds which are a necessary part of the growth process. The book explores the inner landscape of this part of our psyche through the mythological figures of Balarama, Duryodhana and Bhima. It also examines the present day context of human existence which has ironically enhanced both our prowess and helplessness and thereby pushed this part of ourselves into our psychic/social underbelly.

Traditional scholars of philosophy and religion, both East and West, often place a major emphasis on analyzing the nature of the self.” In recent decades, there has been a renewed interest in analyzing self, but most scholars have not claimed knowledge of an ahistorical, objective, essential self free from all cultural determinants. The contributors to this volume recognize the need to contextualize specific views of self and to analyze such views in terms of the dynamic, dialectical relations between self and culture.An unusual feature of this book is that all of the chapters not only focus on traditions and individuals, East and West, but include as primary emphases comparative philosophy, religion, and culture, reinforcing individual and cultural creativity. Each chapter brings specific Eastern and Western perspectives into a dynamic, comparative relation. This comparative orientation emphasizes our growing sense of interrelatedness and interdependency.Culture and Self includes many Asian and Western philosophical, religious, and cultural perspectives. Chapters focus on Vedanta, Samkhya-Yoga, and other Hindu approaches, as well as Buddhist, Confucian, Taoist and other Indian, Chinese, and Japanese perspectives. Studies present Cartesian and other dominant Western perspectives, as well as Marx, Nietzsche, Sartre, feminism, and other Western challenges to the dominant Western interpretations of culture and self.This volume will appeal to students and readers of philosophy, religious studies, Asian studies, and cultural studies.

Culture is critical to individuals and organizations. This book takes a close look into the way Indian managers work, their inner struggles, and forces that shape their behaviour. It presents an original framework developed by the author ¿ the Existential Universe Mapper (EUM), a pluralistic and non-reductionist model of management that uses a new psychometric instrument to map individual and organization identity. The model restrains from placing any phenomenon into frozen categories and enables an understanding of their interplay. The volume points to India¿s ambivalent relationship with modernity, and the consequent difficulty of Indian managers in embracing the imperatives of the corporate world that are largely based on Anglo-Saxon frames. With analyses based on data from over 100 organizations and 4500 managers, the book argues that the gap between the Indian cultural perspective and the prevalent ways of the corporate world is both a boon and a burden. An integration of the two perspectives could help achieve phenomenal results and this may well be the way forward in the global context. This book will be of interest to those in business management, human resource management, leadership studies, corporate governance, industries, education, social sector, governance, psychology, and sociology. It will be particularly relevant for scholars, educators, consultants, practitioners of management and corporate leaders. Professionals who employ psychometric tools, recruitment firms, coaches and consultants involved with assessment centres, career planning, counselling and mentoring will find it extremely useful.

An inspiring story set in a backward village in India. It is a story of hope for everyone especially the least developed parts of the world. The book has spiritual content but it is not a religious book. Published earlier in electronic form by a Malaysian Publisher the book has caught wide attention. The Novella is set in a backward Indian village with its quaint customs and superstitions. During the course of this fascinating story the village changes into a place of love and beauty. In the Words of Margaret Marr (Author), "Mystic And The Blossoms is one of the most interesting and inspiring novels I've read in a long while. I felt as if I were sitting at the feet of a wise man, listening in rapt attention to the story of Jag Baba. I urge you to get a copy of Mystic And The Blossoms, read it for yourself and see what amazing insights you come away with."
