Indian scriptures are a treasure house of philosophy and offer vital guidelines on Psychology, Sociology, Political Science, Social Psychology, human behavior and modern day management concepts. Scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and some parts of Mahabharata have been included in the book for HRM topics such as self-management, ethics, values, work potential, motivation, leadership, boss management and inter- personal relationships, etc. The study used quantitative methodology and collected data from 273 participants that worked in Ten Indian Companies. The statistical results have been included in the book very briefly to ensure flow and fluency of thought.The work addresses the vital management issues such as stress, motivation and underutilized work potential among other management concepts in a culturally sensitive approach that is thoroughly based on Indian scriptural advices. The study proposes to plug the gaps in existing management knowledge that is lopsidedly based on Western management research and theories. Resultantly, a coherent balanced perspective (in the form of Arjuna Syndrome and Krishna Cure Models) which is based on the comparison and balancing of Western and Scriptural views on the management is presented.
