Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge in Hinduism, as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. Her name is derived from the fluidity (saras) of the imagination. Human imagination enables us to invent and innovate, visualize, plan and de-risk. Yet imagination is a bad word in the world of business and management. It strips us of certainty. We want to control the imagination of those who work for us, prevent their minds from wandering from work. Yet every human being lives in an imagined reality. Recognizing this enables us to work with talent, build strong relationships and nurture people to face any situation with faith and patience. Failure to recognize imagination is why family-owned businesses are unable to manage professionals and how professionally- run companies end up creating ineffective, mechanistic talent management systems. Training, learning and development, are not just about skills and knowledge and competencies, they are about appreciating the human-animal, recognizing that neither we nor those around us are programmable machines that we can plug and play. Managing people, hence relationships, is key to the survival of an organization.

Durga is the goddess of power in Hinduism, as well as in Buddhism and Jainism. Her name is derived from the word ‘fortress’ (durg). She is the goddess of kings. She rides a lion, the king of the jungle and a symbol of royalty everywhere from China to England. We tend to tiptoe around the role of power in management, and fail to openly acknowledge how the animal desire to dominate often destroys the best of organizations. Critics tend to see power as a negative thing. But power is a critical tool that affects the implementation of any idea. Any attempt to restrain it with rules results in domestication and resentment, and fails to energize the organization. Leaders often equate themselves with lions, and indulge their desire to dominate when, in fact, the point of leadership is to be secure enough to outgrow the lion within us, and enable and empower those around us. But this is not easy, as anxiety overpowers the best of leaders.

Traditionally, Indians are advised to read only the Ramayana, not the Mahabharata, inside the house because the former is the story of brothers doing everything they can to keep the household united.'

Interestingly, the Ramayana features three sets of brothers: Ram-Lakshman, Ravana-Vibhishana, and Sugriva-Bali. The relationship they share defines a different aspect of the epic. By analysing each of these relationships, we question dharma over loyalty, righteousness over sentimentality.

Devdutt Pattanaik has the ability to present the most convoluted concepts with ease and simplicity, and Ram: The Brother is no different. Read on to discover what makes the ideal man an ideal brother.

Dashratha is heartbroken when Kaikeyi asks for her two boons because it means letting go of his favourite son and having him live in exile for fourteen years. However, as the sun-king of the sun-city, he is also the upholder of dharma, one who keeps his word. He has no choice but to let Ram go.

It is this legacy that Dashratha leaves Ram with, which sets the precedent for all of Ram's actions. As a Raghuvamsi, a descendent of the Raghu clan, Ram is the very definition of living according to dharma. Ram is first and foremost a son before he takes on any other role, and this is evident throughout the journey of the Ramayana.

In Ram: The Son, Devdutt Pattanaik highlights the foundation of Ram's commitment to keeping not only his but also his father's word while traversing the vagaries of life. Pattanaik has the unique ability to convey complex ideas in the most straightforward manner and nowhere is it more evident than when he tells the story of Ram

How to choose the right leader, effectively communicate with a boss, maintain the right balance between discipline and leniency? In these and other workplace situations, Pattanaik shows what leaders of today can learn about the art of leadership from stories written thousands of years ago, things no management course can teach. Leader: 50 Insights from Mythology uses myths and legends to arrive at wisdom that is both time-worn and refreshingly new, on what makes a good leader.

By bringing in perspectives from the Karmic faiths of Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Hinduism, which together represent the beliefs of almost a third of the world’s population, I Am Divine. So Are You expands this conversation between world religions and human sexuality to a truly global level. The theology of Karmic faiths is revealed at the intersection of scripture, culture, rituals and lived realities. And hence they are dynamic and amenable to a multiplicity of perspectives. They lend themselves more easily to a recognition and acceptance of fluidity in human sexuality. This is a landmark book as it recasts religion – especially Karmic faiths – as an ally and not an adversary of queer emancipation and thus significantly informs the secular and legal movements for LGBTQ rights around the world.
