The Chapter 3, entitled " Karma Yoga" is an elaboration of the Hindu ideal of "Selfless Action" first introduced by the famous verse 47 in Chapter 2--Karmanyevaadhikaarasthe-----. After hearing the exposition of various ways of attaining liberation in Chapter 2, Arjuna is really confused. Still deluded, he wanted a confirmation of his desire to quit the war & take-up Sannyasa. So he raises the question : If Krishna feels that the path of knowledge is better than the path of action, why is he being goaded to fight this war? He wanted a clear cut answer to his quest for a righteous life. In reply to this question, the Lord elaborates on the principle of Karma Yoga, the Yoga of selfless action in this chapter 3.

Bhagavad Gita is one of the most popular Hindu Scripture. It contains a gist of Hindu philosophy of life distilled from the Vedas & Upanishads. Here important verses from Gita are explained briefly.
Learn Management Mantras from Bhagavad Gita, says Global ACTparveen1701
Bhagavad Gita, the most incredible piece of scripture in the history of mankind came into existence some 5200 years ago. When looked in the light of modern life, it is relevant to the problems and challenges we face as individuals and groups today too. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that the Bhagvad Gita is becoming a keystone in modern corporate culture. In this power-packed program, ‘Management Principles from Bhagavad Gita’ you will be guided to solve all big and small challenges’ faced by any and every corporate today.
The program aims at equipping participants to overcome their personal inhibitions and run the ‘corporate race’ towards success with your key team members running along. The USP of the program is that it focuses on individuals’ development that would contribute to the corporate growth.
Art of Mind Control, Anger Management, Team building, Emotional Intelligence, Power of Discipline, Laws of increasing returns are the core problems that each individual is struggling. The program is carefully designed to provide answers as written in Bhagavad Gita to all these challenges which hamper the individual’s contribution to the success of company. The program will redefine the importance of Bhagavad Gita and will turn the participants as Warriors.
Here the author describes in short a special aspect of Gita- Karma Yoga. The teachings of Gita are universal and valid to the whole mankind. The concept of Karma Yoga teaches us to do the works at a duty to God. That way one can concentrate to the job. In addition, it reduces frustration and stress as the concept of Karma Yoga teaches us not to concentrate on the end result but to focus on the work itself.
Valmiki Ramayana is considered as a marvellous epic and the first
written literature in the Indian context. Over the centuries, several authors have
explored various dimensions of Ramayana ranging from philosophy,
spirituality, politics, economics, sociology, culture, literature, language, poetry,
technology and others. However, management does not seem to be a popular
subject of analysis from the Ramayana, although Valmiki Ramayana is
pregnant with several lessons for managers. Therefore, this paper aims to fill
the gap in the literature by exploring the relevance of Valmiki Ramayana for
development of contemporary managers. By employing hermeneutics, a
qualitative methodology, the authors have explored work motivation, dharmic
management, principles of control and vigilance, decision making, humanism
and equanimity from Valmiki Ramayana which provide lessons for enhancing
managerial effectiveness. The prospect of exploring Valmiki Ramayana in other
areas of management such as strategic management, people management, and
others can be considered in the near future.
An Overview of the Value Education in the Perspective of Bhagavad Gitaijtsrd
Human values are jewels of human life and they strengthen, sanctify and beautify our existence on earth. In fact, the whole process of education may be termed as value development enterprise at different levels. With value acquisition and development, our life becomes worthwhile and valuable to us as well as to the society around us. The greater is the degree of value acquisition and development in an individual, the more perfect he becomes morally fit for establishing righteousness in society. The ideas expressed in the BHAGAVAD GITA and the pathways indicated are very logical, scientific and relevant even in the most trying situations of life, what to talk of our day to day struggles of existence. Therefore the study has been conducted to study and trace the ways values human values have been imparted in the BHAGAWAD GITA and to devise a practically sound and feasible plan for imparting human values to our young minds in the light of this study.

SPIRITUAL TRAITS THAT AFFECT THE LEADERSHIP PERFORMANCE – REFLECTION FROM VID...IAEME Publication
Spiritual traits are characteristics shown by individuals that are fundamental to
their development of our inner being for achieving happiness, peace and fulfillment.
Organizations are constantly on the lookout for leaders who display good
performance. Performance of an individual is dependent on various factors starting
from the self, the organizational context he is working under, his team members and
the customer/ stakeholders who need to be satisfied with the outcome. In this paper,
we provide a qualitative analysis of how people with high spiritual traits display
leadership performance based on lessons from Vidura Neeti. A spiritually sound
organization can look for these traits in new hires for long term sustenance.

In this paper, an attempt has been made to explore the philosophy of
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) from an ancient Indian perspective. A
review of literature in CSR shows that there are thousands of articles which
have been written by several academics on this subject from numerous
perspectives, but limited articles written about CSR from the philosophical,
historical and from the ancient perspectives. As a result, this article not only
fills the gap in the literature, but also provides insights on CSR philosophy
from the ancient Indian perspective. In the Indian context, the origin of CSR
can be traced from the Vedic literatures such as the Valmiki Ramayana, the
Mahabharata (includes the Bhagavad-Gita) and the Puranas. These literatures
were written more than 5,000 years ago in Sanskrit language. However, in this
paper the authors will explore CSR philosophy from Kautilya’s Arthasastra,
which was also written in Sanskrit in the 4th century BC. This paper is based
on hermeneutics, a qualitative research methodology which involves study,
understanding and interpretation of ancient or classical text. By using the above
methodology, the authors reveal some ancient lessons on CSR, which can
provide guidance to corporate leaders today. In a nutshell, the Kautilya’s
Arthasastra provides an inside-out approach to CSR, which is development of
the individual leader’s self conscience, contrary to the western approach that
takes an outside-in perspective. The leaders and the role they play in
corporations are crucial in ensuring transparency, good conduct and governance
towards the ultimate aim of achieving CSR.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
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.

6. The Main Context:-
The broad purpose of this
review is to explore the
managerial effectiveness from
the perspectives of the
Bhagavad-Gita, which presents
one of the Indian (Vedic) views
on managerial effectiveness.
The scope, content and context
of managerial effectiveness is
wide, however in this book the
author explores three basic
principles on improving
managerial effectiveness from
the selected verses from the
Bhagavad-Gita.
7. The Bhagavad-Gita and Management
The Bhagavad-Gita was delivered by
Sri Krishna to boost Arjuna’s
declining morale, motivation,
confidence to his (Arjuna) intra-
personal conflict, which was to fight
or not to fight the war at
Kurukshestra
Sri Krishna gave not only spiritual
enlightenment to Arjuna ( and to all
of us) but also the art of self
management, conflict management,
stress &, Anger management,
transformational leadership,
motivation, goal setting and many
others aspects of management
which can be used as a guide to
increase our managerial
effectiveness.
8. Some Management Tips of The Bhagwad
Gita:-
Self Management:-
The Bhagavad-Gita stresses the
importance of self management
or personal anagement first
before personnel management
(HRM). Self management includes
all aspects of management of
oneself such as managing life,
time, stress, anger, fear and self-
control.
Sri Krishna described that from
anger, complete delusion arises,
and from delusion bewilderment
of memory.When memory is
bewildered, intelligence will be
lost and when intelligence is lost
one falls down.
9. Some Management Tips of The Bhagwad
Gita:-
The Chariot Model:-
In the chariot of the body, the
horses represent the senses
(tongue, eyes, ears, nose and
skin).The reins, the driving
instrument, symbolize the
mind, the driver is the
intelligence, and the
passenger is the self.
Managers should use their
intelligence to control the
mind, they should not let the
mind to be controlled.
10. Some Management Tips of The
Bhagavad-Gita:-
Mind Management:-
Sri Krishna desired that Arjuna and the
readers of Bhagavad-Gita could cast off
weakness of heart in performing duties.
Managers who are mentally weak cannot
attain the organizational vision and mission.
The mind of the manager must be firm in
driving the organizational resources (human
resources) towards vision and mission.
Work Commitment:-
Duty is given great importance in the
Bhagavad-Gita.
Duty in the organizational context goes
beyond contractual agreement in the
employment relationship.
Sri Krishna further stressed that duty needs
to be done without attachment and for
those who do their duty without attachment
will attain the supreme goal.
11. The Bhagavad-Gita and
Management
Management Learning
from the Gita also
includes:-
LEADERSHIP
MOTIVATION
DEVELOPING HUMAN
RESOURCES
MANAGERIAL SKILLS
WAY of KNOWLEDGE
MEDITATION
VISION & PLANNING
UNITY in COMMAND
12. Limitations of the Bhagavad-Gita as a
Management Literature:-
The Bhagavad-Gita is perceived
as a spiritual and philosophical
text, as such it is not directly
related to managerial
effectiveness.
The Bhagavad-Gita is also
perceived only as an Hindu
scripture, and hence there has
been the less acceptance of
Bhagavad-Gita.
However, there is no doubt that
the principles propounded in
the Bhagavad-Gita are have
universal application and useful
for managers to mould their
character and strengthen their
self to develop their managerial
effectiveness.
13. Criticism and Conclusion
Modern managers, can benefit from the
philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita, which serves as a
guide in developing managerial effectiveness.
Mere imitation of western approaches may not be
appropriate in the Indian (Asian) context due to
differences in the cultural environment.
The philosophy of Bhagavad-Gita has remained
and will remain as a guide for developing
managerial effectiveness, not only in this 21st
century but also for many centuries more to come.
