Puducherry
has grown considerably since its colonial past, and its present day glory lies
with the saint philosopher Aurobindo Ghosh,
who founded his ashram here. Sri Aurobindo was
a freedom fighter and in 1907 was considered the 'most dangerous man' by the
British… Situated in the heart of the White Town
the Ashram has its own appeal. This was where Sri Aurobindo, the Mother and
their immediate followers actually lived surrounded in time by a dedicated
community of people from different parts of India .
It
is now dominated by a Samadhi that is kept in a state of pristine freshness not
just by the intricate floral decorations that are placed over the marble
surface, but by the air of serene contemplation that so many of the followers

The
integral approach to management proceeds from an intuitive vision which views
the human organism as a four-fold being with a physical, vital, mental and
spiritual dimension. The strategic path of integral management is based

First,
integration of the four-fold being of the individual which is the aim of Human
Resource Development. Second,
integration of the four-fold being of the Collectivity or the Organisation
which is the aim of Organisational Development. Third, integration of the individual goals with organisational
goal, which is the aim of work-life balance. Fourth, attunement of the four-fold being of the organisation with
the laws of universal Nature, which is the aim of corporate sustainability. The
main objective of this blog is to explore this four-fold integration and its
practical implications for management and human development.
Having
established that there is an organised law of action at the moral and mental
levels, as at the physical level, we avoid the issue of everything occurring ...
