MANAGEMENT LESSON FROM RAMAYANA
Ramayana," or "The Journey of Rama," is one of the most compelling Indian epics written by sage Valmiki, who is called the adi kavi, meaning the "first poet" in Sanskrit. It is the story of Rama, who was the seventh avatar of Lord Vishnu.
Ramayana consists of seven kandas, which refer to sections. They are:
Bala kanda - The boyhood of Rama.
Ayodhya kanda - The life in Ayodhya until Rama went on exile.
Aranya kanda - Life in the forest with wife, Sita, and brother Lakshman and abduction of Sita by King Ravana.
Kishkindha kanda - The phase in the kingdom of Sugriva, a vanara, meaning "monkey“
Sundara kanda - The journey of Rama to Srilanka.
Yuddha kanda - Also called Lanka kanda, it is about the battle with King Ravana, rescue of Sita and return to Ayodhya.
Uttara kanda - Rama's life as king of Ayodhya, sons' births, testing the innocence of Sita who returns to her mother who is considered the earth goddess, and the demise of Rama.

It defines the transformational leadership qualities of Lord Rama. It also give a clear indication of hidden qualities and abilities of employees which need to be ignited by leaders.
Management Learning from Ramayana by Lalit SahuLalit Sahu
Modern management literature talks about effective management practices through many theories and principles which at time seem to be at cross purposes to another often confusing the scholars and practitioners of management.
For the achievement of goals management is essential. The role of management is to move an organization towards its purposes or goals by assigning activities those organization members perform. Management strives to encourage individual activity that will lead to reaching organizational goals and to discourage individual activity that will hinder the accomplishment of the will hinder the accomplishment of the organization objectives. Not only in organization but Management is also essential for individual life.
The Ramayana can also serve as a useful reference book for those willing to learn. With Rama Rajya as a model for good governance, the Ramayana is a must read for practitioners of state crafts.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Lanka. He had all the abilities to kill Ravana, but he
waited for the Sri Ram’s directions - ‘abiding for
rules regulations as directed by management’
17. TEAM WORK:
Team work is an
important principle in
management.
Rama with
Lakshmana, Hanuman,
vanar sena & with
squirrel applied the
same in search of
Sitaji & was successful
in the mission.
18. TEAM PLAYER
A squirrel was picking up a little pebble in
her mouth and putting it alongside the
boulders. She was repeating this
continuously and effortlessly. She was
found by a monkey who started making
mockery of her and told to stay away as
she will die if she comes under the boulder
or the leg of any army.
“No work is big or small. It’s not the
stature of work that matters, but what you
learn from working that counts. Never
listen to people who tell you that the work
you are doing is demeaning or would
undermine your prestige. Remember,
work doesn’t undermine prestige, it is
absence of work that does.”
19. Courage & Compassion:
Shri Rama led an inferior &
less armed army against the
might of the Ravana’s elite
army.
The Rakshasas army was very
potent, having defeated the
formidable devas &
vanquished powerful kings.
Driven by Rama’s inspirational
leadership , where courage&
compassion were the major
virtues his army responded
magnificiently & carved out
victory.

leader.

Lanka.
Bringing Dronagiri Parvat
(Sanjivini Booti)
• Shri Hanuman lead the
vanar sen in search for
Sitaji (Initiation)
21. EXAMPLES FROM RAMAYANA
Motivation & SWOT Analysis –
One of the most obvious incidences, in which
management were used is very clearly visible is that of
Hanuman going to Lanka. His mission was to locate
Sita there and give her Lord Ram’s message. When it
became clear that Sita was in Lanka, Jambvant asked
Hanuman to go there. He helped him in realising his
true potential and motivated him to go in the enemy’s
camp.
Once mentally prepared for the job and reached
there, first thing which Hanuman did was to
completely analyse the situation in Lanka. He did a
complete study about the Lankan’s, assessing their
strengths and weaknesses, the various threats and
opportunities which he had in the enemy’s camp.
