The idea of Indian Management is both ancient and modern. For all practical purposes Kautilya’s Arthashastra written in the Kingdom context can be considered as first management book for effective administration and management. After the establishment of IIMs in 1960s, modern idea of Indian Management started developing initially in the form of case studies and anecdotal data and later in the form of Indian concepts and ideas originating from cultural and spiritual contexts. Now idea of Indian Management has emerged as a distinct field of interest and academic study. This book takes a historical perspective on the emergence of the idea of Indian Management and presents various theories, concepts and ideas that constitute ‘received knowledge’ of Indian Management.

The book will interest MBA students, managers, leaders, policy makers and scholars interested in Indian Management.

With the advent of science, a shift in human thought took place, from religion to science. Now in the twenty first century another shift is taking place – a shift towards spirituality i.e. towards a deeper insights about Self. Science explored the outer world and Spirituality explores the inner self. Science deals with laws of nature and associated Quantum questions, Spirituality deals with Kaun-tvam (Who are you?). Both are needed for the holistic development of human beings and society. Hence, the need to build a Quantum bridge between Science and Spirituality. In the pages of this book, Quantum Bridge Between Science & Spirituality: Towards A New Geometry of Consciousness, we explore the connectivity between science and spirituality with a view to build a bridge between science and spirituality and arrive at a holistic understanding of reality around us.

Shunya as a concept is a distinctive contribution of Indian Thought and is associated with Enlightenment. It represents nothing (shunyata) and everything (poornata). In mathematics it manifests itself as zero and infinity. This world is considered as a ‘Creation from Shunya’. Human beings are also engaged in many creations from shunya e.g. entrepreneurship, institution building, innovation, arts, music, cinema, etc. in nature shunya unfolds itself in the forms of matter, mind, consciousness and cosmos. Correspondingly in human endeavors, shunya unfolds itself in the form of four energies/forces viz. physical, mental, spiritual and cosmic. Once these four energies are properly aligned, success and happiness flow together and society moves in the direction of sacro-civic enlightened society leading us towards holistic human and social development.

This book provides poems representing various dimensions of unfolding of shunya in our day to day existence. These dimensions include scientific, humanistic, spiritual and cosmic perspectives that guide us to evolve as better human beings and better humanity.
