Patañjali. 2nd c. is the compiler of the Yoga Sutras, an important collection of aphorisms on Yoga practice, and also the author of the Mahābhāṣya, a major commentary on Panini's Ashtadhyayi.

However, whether these two works are that of the same author or not remains in some doubt.

He has been one of the greater seer and Maharshi inspiring billions since ages.

It begins with an understanding of human thought processes and the hurdles which deter us from realizing our true selves.

Then the ability to understand the goal fully and correctly is apparent

In the absence of this state, the ability to understand the goal is replaced byMind’s conception of the goal orA total lack of comprehension

Direct cognition, Sensory evidence, InferenceTestimony, Revelations, Tested and validated

factsYou have some form of contact with the

object or scenario

Page 12: Perfecting work management

This the most form of knowledge and leads to difficulties.

Our knowledge does not correspond to the object

This is obtained throughErroneous interpretation, delusionIllusion and assumption

ExamplesMirageWhen you report based on hearsay

Inferences

Page 13: Perfecting work management

This is when an image is conjured up by just words

There is no contact with the object

ExamplesNovels like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings etc.How you react when you visualize the reaction

Physical health to be in order: Our body should be physically fit to combat all hurdles and tense situations arising in management

Asans are very easy and powerful method for making ourselves physically tough and fit

“Tato Dwandwan Abhighatah”

Rkrks }U}kufHk?kkr%(2/48) Mastering the postures one is not overcome by extremes, by cold & heat or any other factor affecting body and mind

Page 27: Perfecting work management

Healthy, Clean and Concentrated Mind:

After unassailing all extremes by asans, Patanjali devices Pranayam

”Tatah Kshiyate

Prakashawaranam” rr% {kh;rs izdk’kkoj.ke~ 2/52

Page 28: Perfecting work management

Covering of light of knowledge (by ignorance) dwindles away by practicing restraint of breath

Sadhak’s karmas (Kusamskars) which cover the light of soul become powerless

It brings purity and clear shining of thought

Page 29: Perfecting work management

For getting rid of all mental fatigues & wearing out and developing power of concentration, best device is Pranayam

Page 30: Perfecting work management

Basic Rules for Pranayam• Environment should be clean fresh and

peaceful

• The posture should be erect sitting on vajra or sukh asana

• Appropriate time is the early morning (one hour before and one hour after sunrise, Brahma Muhurt )

• Stomach should be empty

• Negative thoughts to be restricted

• Relax after doing Pranayam

• Meditation to be performed with Pranayam

“Dharanasu Cha Yogyata Manasah” 2/53/kkj.kklq p ;ksX;rk eul%

for fixed attention, ability develops in a being.

Pranayam steadies the central organs specially our brain stem & makes it fit for going to stage of meditation.

Page 32: Perfecting work management

For intellectual expertise, intuition or ”Antarpragya” has to be awakened

Patanjali says – ”Ritambhara Tatra Pragya” _rEHkjk r= izKk 1/48 and

– ”Shrutanuman Pragyabhyam Anyavishaya Vishesharthtwat” JqrkuqekuizKkH;keU;foá;k fo’ksákFkZRokr~ 1/49

In one whose mind stuff is concentrated, the insight arises in this calm. This insight bears truth & nothing else.

Only with regular practice of Yog this state of mind can be achieved.

Page 34: Perfecting work management

Meditation implies concentration of conscious mind.

Focus it on unconscious – integrate both – go towards superconscious and establish on it.

This is whole of meditation.

Work perfection in management can be achieved only when each member of team specially leader, participates in emotional sharing & caring.

For this Patanjali says – “Sukhanushayi Ragah”. lq[kkuq’k;h jkx% 2/7 and “Dukhanushayi Dweshah” nq%[kkuq’k;h }sá% 2/8 – Passion is that which dwells upon pleasure and aversion is that which dwells upon all sufferings & pains – For getting rid of Rag & Dwesh.

Yogic life style gives us a remedy. To go to the shelter of vivek – discriminative wisdom (2/28). ;ksxkXkuqDkukn’kqfh{k;s KkunhfIrjkfoosd[;krs% 2&28

Once impurities go away ignorance (Avidya) disappears, light of real knowledge starts illuminating once intellect

Invocation of all faculties of Personality is mandatory for perfect work management.

”Shraddha Virya Smriti Samadhi Pragya Poorvakam itaresham” – 1/20 Jn~/kkoh;ZLEk`frlekf/kizKkiwoZd brjsáke

Yog gets accomplished to perfection by shraddha (adorable faith, right motivation to ideals) and virya (firmness and accountability of personality).

Page 43: Perfecting work management

After these two, all managerial planning based on true facts helped by memory lead to:

Samadhi (intellectual status in which you can find all solutions

Samadhan to day-to-day problems) & ultimately

Pragya (prudence or discriminatory wisdom).

Weight Reduction

Regular yoga practice can help in weight management.

Some of the asanas stimulate endocrine glands to increase their hormonal secretions.

The thyroid gland, especially, has a big effect on our weight because it affects body metabolism.

Fat metabolism is also increased with yogasan, so fat is burnt.

Page 52: Perfecting work management

Weight Reduction

Yog reduces anxiety and thereby reduced anxious eating.

Deep breathing increases the oxygen intake to the body cells, including the fat cells. This causes increased oxidation or burning up of fat cells.
