BUSINESS ETHICS AND THE GITA.

Thanks NATTERAJAJI, for posting this on TOOSTEP.
& thanks for referral, Purvi.

May this be true...Thanks!

Well Mr.Manish Kumar, who has told you that following Gita would make one without money and future. This means you have not properly understood the meanings of Gita. Your failures are not due to the Gita but by something else and the reasons best known to you.
Gita never says not to earn money for the living. It teaches how to control one's mind and body through various stages in order to attain perfection in any professions. For all consequences whether good or bad we are responsible since what is the input will be the output, ie for every action there is an opposite and equivalent reactions. We all are bound by our deeds or karma.
 All the living things in the world have to do their karma which means the action/deeds. [ to live ]
Gita is applicable to all businesses and professions, but emphasizes with applicable ethics standard that's all. 
The professional dharma differs according to the profession chosen by individuals in accordance with time [Kalachakra] 
For example, killing a goat is a sin, but when killing the goats becomes a profession for any one is not a sin, since it is a profession for him. Similarly several examples and explanations can be given and the interpretations in meaning differs according to professions chosen.
 Like laws have exceptions under certain circumstances.

If any one wrongly understand the meaning without proper analysis, Gita can not be blamed. Every body can earn money to lead their life through professional standard of ethics.      

Thanks for referring something which I should never have missed reading.

Well If you follow GITA I can assure you 1 thing you would be without money and no future.But you will be spiritually happy person. And people will take advantage of you.
Since Basic Principle is Karma is in your hands and results.
In business results are important and not efforts.
I am sharing my personal experience of life.
Please-Please do not preach GITA rather I would tell to follow MAYAN theory in business.

Gita is veru good and definitely corelated with business ethics. So many things we are leartning from gita. Even though many Business management institute are learning from Gita related management. Thanks Mr.Nateraja for referal. It is good article  and we can recall it alternative.

Natteraja Gita has all valuable tips and will remain up to date any day.

thanks Mr natteraja, 

Gita has taught us a lot.. The learnings will never be too old to be used.. Thanks for refreshing Sir..

Virtues and Vices are very clearly established by Sri Krisna in Bhagavad Gita, which are relevant for all time to come.  Interpretations are very many, mostly situation and circumstances-oriented.  Therefore, a number of mis-givings are on Castes and Varnashrama Dharma.  We have to understand in the context and purport, not based on interpretations given by certain authors!  Thanks for posting such a wonderful post, Mr. Natterja!  

Like Bible, Huron, and other scriptures Gita is also a world scripture for all. All religion teaches one but interpreted in different ways.Gita is suitable for the past,present,and future.Whenever we read it we will get the confidence and throws light from different directions.What is the life doctrine has been very well explained.

In replying to Sri.Krishnamurti Prabhakar, I would like to place here that even today the Varnashrama is here in our society and based on the concept of educated/uneducated and haves/have not. Hence it was earlier. Gita clearly explains that based the profession/character only the Varnashrama Dharma emanated and not based on the caste systems which is presently followed unfortunately and following from our forefathers.Gita defines the characters for each Varnashrama that is Brahman,Kshatriya,Vysya,and Shutra.Kindly note that a Brahman can become a Kshatriya and vice-versa, similarly Vysya can become a Kshatriya and all depends on the the characters and professions. Therefore the principles/doctrines of Gita can be applied to anything and any professions to perform ethically.The chapter Karma Yoga, Bakthi Yoga, Raj Yoga, and Gnana Yoga clearly deals with various phases of life and how to elevate oneself to the level of God himself.          

Thank you. One of the greatest limitation of Gita is its acceptance of gross discrimination based on caste; Varnashrama dharma ensures people to be exploited in the name of religion.If the basic thought process is based on grossly discriminated ideas; how do you expect people to follow? 
 

A good spiritual capsule......thank u sir

wow! nice post, thanks sir

Thanks,Mr Natteraja for referral.Our up bringing passes through different phases.The upper most thing is we,learn more from our own association,surroundings.Knowingly or unknowingly, what in the end matters is our spiritual plane and relationships.Those who excels are leader and those 'who do't' always remain followers.
