VEDIC VS MODERN MANAGEMENT

The difference between Vedic and Modern Management.

Management says DREAM, but Vedas say dreams only can make you more unstable, create unease, a false sense of the world. According to the Vedas, dreams are not real and reflects an illusion. Can one expect to live under illusion?.

Management says, KILL COMPETITION. Every Company tries to be one up on the other and terms it healthy competition. But in reality it is is absurd. Spirituality says, competitions are not necessary. Just do whatever you do with dedication and perfection. We all are humans and have equal rights and responsibilities to live and let live.

It is mostly greed which makes a Company resort to overworking of employees to maximise their production figures. On the other hand Vedas opine that Companies exist for the welfare of its employees and the society for which it provides goods and services, and a quality material provided to the market shall suffice. Employees must spend equal time for duties towards their family and society.

Advertisements in the modern world attempts to increase the wants and needs of the people as against Vedas which teach that increasing wants and needs only lead to more of them and less of peace and happiness. After all does the satisfaction of a want lead to happiness?. The same medium of advertisement will not allow the individual his due happiness and will goad him to his next higher want. This does.not mean that Vedas advocate no wants at all. Wants should be limited to fulfilment of one’s circumstantial needs.

AGGRESSIVENESS is given a lot of prominence in modern management. But this is a negative trait in Vedic management. Instead humility is insisted upon. This is because aggressiveness leads to arrogance and destroys the fabric of the society.

Modern Management says that men and women have to be motivated in order to make them work. The motivation may be in the form of Monetary incentives, praise, public recognition, rewards and such. On the other hand Vedic Management has a completely different view. Like the constitution of a Country, it proposes that men and women are duty bound to work ( because they cannot sit idle). And remuneration is paid as a compensation for performing one’s duty so that his immediate family needs are taken care of.  Working is voluntary with a feeling of contributing to the welfare of the society. This way there is an auspiciousness in one’s working, the selfishness being absent. This feeling must exist at all levels in an Organisation, the employers being particularly magnanimous. This eliminates a motive for exorbitant profits and greed.
