Abstract
Bhagavad Gita is considered to be as a holy book for the Hindu religion. The essence of the book refers to the preaching of Lord Krishna to Arjuna to continue his battle for the sake of truth. And he ultimately proved that the truth prevails over the evilwhich was carried out by his own relatives. Even in the present scenario, the book is closely related to the extant management practices as it defines how a leader can motivate his subordinates in achieving organisational goals. In the entire war, Lord Krishnaacted as philosopher guide to Arjun in the war. This shows how an effective leader can play an important role by paring the way for attaining organisations goals. This paper depicts how the ancient text of Bhagavad Gita is closely related to the management theories and practices which emerged in the early twentieth century. Apart from the management theories it also deals withindividual and interpersonal behaviour like personality, attitude, communication, leadership, persuasion etc.
