Hanuman and Management

Posted: 29th December 2011 by Ashish Dave in Management Tags: Lord Hanuman, Lord Ram, Management

Lord Hanuman is a name well known in the spiritual world. His other names show him as Lord of Monkeys (Kapeeshwar), Devotee of Rama (Rambhakta), Ambassador of Ram (Ramduta), Reliever of Sorrows (Sankatamochan) and so on But do any of his names show him as a Great Manager? Relation between Management and Hanuman is absolutely new concept that I would like to put before you. Lord Hanuman was a top line manager of Lord Ram and King Sugreev. Here we throw light on some points to prove that Hanuman was extraordinary in Management .

When Goddess Sita was kidnapped by Rawan, Lord Ram started searching her all over the forest. King Sugreev, who had lost his kingdom to his brother Bali was staying there and Hanuman was his Senior Manager. Sugreev suspected that Ram and Laxman, who were moving around with dhanush-baan (archeries), were sent by Bali to fight and kill him. To protect himself he ordered Hanuman to kill Ram and Laxman. Hanuman, being a brilliant manager, realised the actual problem Sugreev faced that was his

own protection. Killing the two, without knowing the truth behind their being in the forest, was not a wise solution. So he instead went to them in disgiuse, and found the true identity of Ram and Laxman, befriended them, and brought them before Sugreev. Ram and Laxman, whom Sugreev thought to be threat to his life, later got his kingdom back by killing Bali. It is a nice decision making process by a manager who uses INTUTION and puts in his thought in problem solving, and not just follows boss order. This naturally proves Hanumans Management quality.

It was Hanumans efforts that King Sugreev and Lord Ram collaborated and using each others strength both achieved their seperate goals: Sugreev got his kingdom and Ram killed Ravan and got Sita back.

Here are few other points that depict how Hanuman had excellent Management capabilities

DURGAM KAAJ JAGAT KE JETE SUGAM ANUGRAH TUMHARE TETE from Hanuman Chalisa written by Tulsi Das, says that even the toughest and seemingly impossible tasks gets easier thanks to Hanuman. This is an indicator of nice management quality of Hanuman. JAY HANUMAN GYAN GUN SAGAR . also from Hanuman chalisa says that hanuman was a sea of enriched knowledge and information. A manager must have these two qualities, which Hanuman had much more than that anyone could expect. This proves Hanumans Management skills.

HAATH DHWAJ AUR DHWAJA BIRAJE KANDHE MUNJ JANEU SAJE ..Hanuman Chalisa says that dressing sense of Hanuman was appropriate and relevant according his job and changed from time to time. Five evidences are available in Ramayan where Hanuman changed his dress and body. This once again proves his dressing sense and Management skills.

RAM KAAJ KARIBE KO AATUR .Hanuman Chalisa say that Hanuman was always ready to do anything for his boss Ram. A good manager must have quality to work for his organization and boss at any time and at any cost. Hanumans loyalty was not hidden from Ram.

SUKSHMA ROOP DHARI SIYAHI DIKHAWA VIKAT ROOP DHARI LANKA JARAWA. According to situation he was in, Hanuman changed his own size ranging from micro and macro. A good manager always has ability to show his power and knows when not to show his power. Hanuman thus proves himself as brilliant manager.

RAGHUPATI KINHI BAHUT BADAI ,TUM MAM PRIYA BHARAT SAM BHAI . Its only on very few occasions that the boss himself extends appreciation to his sub ordinates but Lord Ram appreciated him much and said that Hanuman is equivalent to my brother Bharat. Incidentally, while Ram was away in exile for 14 long years, his brother Bharat managed the whole kingdom but did not take credit for the work, and instead credited it to Ram by placing Rams Charan-paduka (footwear) on the throne as if Ram himself was managing the kingdom. Lord Ram honoured Hanuman by comparing him to his brother for being an Excellent Manager and still being humble enough to call himself his Das (servent) and credit all his work to him. Rams calling him similar to his brother is like giving 50% partnership in modern corporate world.
