How are some managers able to accomplish their task with ease and elan, while others fall behind? Ramayana, renowned as one of the two great epics of our land, is widely considered a holy book as it depicts the life of Lord Rama. However, a careful reading of this work also brings out the greatness of Lord Rama as a leader, who rose above self-actualization and attained self-transcendence. This epic also tells us the stories of many others such as Bharata, Lakshmana, Hanuman, Vibhishana, Jatayu, Sampati and various female characters including Sita, Mandodari, Taara etc. Each one of them has a message to convey, which is useful in tackling challenges and managing difficult situations in the modern world. In addition to conveying important lessons in management, Ramayana also carries a message regarding protection and conservation of the environment, which is of contemporary relevance. The author has skillfully extracted life lessons from the Ramayana that are relevant even today and presented it in an engaging narrative. This book is a must read for individuals aspiring for personal happiness, professional success and environmental sustainability.

Valmiki's Ramayana, composed as early as 500 BCE, remains a story that speaks to every generation and continues to enthral millions of people in the Subcontinent and beyond.The noble prince Rama is exiled from Ayodhya on his stepmother's whim, and his loyal brother Lakshmana and beautiful wife, Sita, follow him into the forest despite the many dangers it holds. But when Sita is kidnapped by Ravana, king of the rakshasas, Rama must go deep into himself to find the physical and emotional resources he needs to rescue her.Apart from exploring the fundamental human question of how to be good, the Ramayana is also the story of a god who comes to earth to establish righteousness. The tension between Rama's essentially divine nature and his all too human trials makes this one of the most compelling epics in world literature.

In performances by Euro-Americans, Afro-Americans, Native Americans, and Asians, Richard Schechner has examined carefully the details of performative behavior and has developed models of the performance process useful not only to persons in the arts but to anthropologists, play theorists, and others fascinated (but perhaps terrified) by the multichannel realities of the postmodern world. Schechner argues that in failing to see the structure of the whole theatrical process, anthropologists in particular have neglected close analogies between performance behavior and ritual. The way performances are created—in training, workshops, and rehearsals—is the key paradigm for social process.

Towards New Education Gandhijis ideas in regard to this New Education did not, of course, suddenly emerge from his brain in 1937, but were the outcome of long years of sustained thought and experience. The present book relates to this earlier formative period when he revolted from the prevailing system of education and sought in various ways to substitute it by educational practices more in harmony with his own conception of the function of education. To understand adequately the Basic Education scheme which he formulated in 1937 it is essential to go back to this earlier period where we can see it in origin and growth. The present book may, therefore, be said to be a necessary companion volume to the one on Basic Education.
