Holistic Management

Holistic (holism) implies an approach or process, which

enables integration of multiple streams.

Human beings are like a Flute or Vina, Parmatman being a master

player.

Holistic management explains how to play skillfully through

these instruments – “Holism of Human Consciousness”.

“I have just passed through one of the greatest moments of my life. I have found the oneness between the macrocosm and microcosm. I have seen the whole universe within one atom.”

- Swami Vivekananda

Holism, thus is an awareness state which realizes and feels that the whole, the One is the origin, the source, while parts

and streams are all only its numerous manifestations or

derivations. 

Ekam Sad Vipra Bahoona Vadanti Jivo Brahmaiva Na Parah

Holism is fundamentally an experiential state of deep integral consciousness.

Human values are personal which get interwoven with consciousness in the web of human relationship but material values are impersonal and do ride rough shod over human values.

Utility in today’s global world is overruling sentiments.

Gigantism is re-emerging in the name of Globalism.

Indian executive is often chastised for his resistance to modernization, to fitting himself into the mould of today’s cyber culture.

Holistic Man Management for Doctors as Leaders of

Society

Doctor community has a special role to play, as they are dealing with human being as a patient as a whole – a summum bonum of material and Conscious.

Few Dilemmas & Chaos for Treating Physicians

Physician is God for relations of patient under palliative care.

Too many expectations. Physician’s own stresses. Inability to manage time,

Timewasters playing major role. Ethical, Cultural and spiritual issues

involved. Financial constraints. Political interferences.

Tamas – The obstructive darkening force Rajas – The kinetic forceSatva – The illuminating force

Guna Dynamics

Today human psychology is propelled by the twin drives of greed and speed. They both spring from dominance of Rajas.

Holistic / Holism is the state of profound emotional unity, purity and harmony between individual and universal.

Ravidranath Tagore says – Greek city states gave rise to modern civilization, where cradles of brick and mortar with imprisoned mind was result.

Sadhak of Holistic consciousness breaks the rigid mould of cognitive frame work built up by formal education.

Holistic Vedantic living  Veda – Vedantic Holism has been totally integrated into the Indian ethos.

* Life’s goal system – Dharma , Artha, Kama , Moksha* Life’s stage system – Four Ashramas * Marriage system – * Living – Departed system* Karma – Rebirth system* Five fold debt system (Rinas) – Dev / Rishi/ Pitra / Nri / Bhoot Rinas 

 Holism is a state of consciousness, chetna or anubhuti – not merely an intellectual thesis or dogma.  In this perspective we should try to visualize modern management .

MANAGEMENT :

A DISCIPLINE BORROWED FROM THE WEST HAS REDUCED “ MAN 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.

To the Western Management :

The worker is all, MAN stands no where, Worker is a hired commodity.

Disregard of human approach, Loss of Human Values and erosion of human touch in Organizational Hierarchy are the results.

Wealth is gained, but soul is Lost

In this process:

“ While the soul within remains defectively organized there will always

be outward unrest, disorder and Revolution.”

“ The Hour of God ”

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.-----

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.

The Cardinal assumptions of Spiritual approach are

•Harmony

•Interdependence

•Unity

•Creativity

•Evolutionary possibilities

Our Rishis conceived Indian culture in Tapovans – Womb of forest , of prayers where tapasya was performed. They were known as Aranyaks.

The Universal bond between man and universal one has been sublimely captured by Vedic seer as Gayatri Mahamantra.

Gayatri Mantra

Om : Symbolizes wholeness – Completeness

Bhuh – Embodiment of vital spiritual energy, (Pran) Bhuvah – Destroyer of sufferings Svah – Embodiment of happiness Tat – That Savituh – Bright, luminous like the Sun Varenyam – Best, most exalted

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
