Value-oriented holistic approach
VALUE ORIENTED HOLISTIC MANAGEMENT
The most valuable human possessions are health, harmony, happiness,wisdom, and above all character reflecting ethical and human values.When these values are manifested in your thoughts, speech and actions,you are called a noble and enlightened person. As we think sincerely andconstantly we become. Our actions and behaviour reflect our ideas andfeelings.We work not for name, fame, money, power and status but for greaterworth, for cultivating values, for building up strong character, for wisdomso that our intrinsic values enhances. True greatness is not measured bytangible or extrinsic values such as name fame, etc. but always greatnessin life is to be pure, kind, true, selfless. Health is more important thanwealth. Character is most important than money.
VALUES:
Human and ethical values constitute the wealth of characters. Valuesexpress dharma or divine nature as understood in the East, particularly inthe Indian ethos and insight and the ideas of integrity as understood in theWest.
Integrity
: Integrity is wholeness, goodness, courage, and self-disciplineto live by your inner truth.
Wholeness 
:
 
Wholeness implies totality, soundness, perfection andcompleteness. In the West, spirit in Wholeness is given only a slightreference. It is nearly forgotten. In all of ours heart’s chamber lives theunworshipped God. We are not aware of the divine presence withinthought the divine is constantly looking at the person. Our ego has becomethe pretended ruler. Ego is the false notion of our mind, because it isignorant of the reality.
Goodness: 
It covers all essential values such as honesty, morality,kindness, fairness, charity, truthfulness, generosity etc. we need goodness

Value-oriented holistic approachin our thoughts, our speeches, and our actions. ‘Be Good. Do Good’ leadsto purification of thoughts, talks and actions associated with goodthoughts. Good things do not happen easily. You have to make themhappen.
Courage: 
 
In the world of management, courage points out acts of bravery,e.g. deciding not to conceal something one knows, and needs to beexpressed openly. Courage is telling the truth in the face of danger. Youhave the guts to go ahead, do something which is risky.
Self-discipline: 
 
Self-discipline and self-control indicates that the soul isthe boss who takes control of the mind and directs the mind and thesenses to move on the journey to reach the goal known to the master.When the soul, the individual consciousness, wakes up, we have self-discipline and self-control to deal with life. The quality of life will now bedifferent. That quality of life will give you greater harmony, happiness andmoderation. Please remember that we need discipline and couragetogether to reach our objectives in time.
Living by Inner Truth: 
 
Living by inner truth or by inner mind, which is theright instrument within us but which is not known to us unless we gowithin, may be regarded as the last ingredient of integrity. It is the mostimportant of all.Inner mind or truth communicates through faint whispers, intuitivethoughts, feeling buried deep within us. Each one of us possesses this fineinstrument and has the capacity to call it forth. We need practice to tapthis cache. It is rediscovery of one’s subtle but true awareness whichgenerally lies in the secret hiding place. We must turn inwards to interactwith our inner mind and live by inner truth as per its adesh or direction.The voice of inner mind can be heard only in silence.To live by inner truth at work amounts to remain yourself incorruptible,clean and inviolable in this world, which at present is invaded by totalcrisis oh human and ethical values. In the business world we havekickbacks, double dealings, shady behavior and all forms of corruption andfraudulent dealings. Corruption is world-wide. Let your mind be ruled andguided by your Conscience.

Value-oriented holistic approach
Dharma
Dharma is the law of right living the observance of which secures thedouble object of happiness in your own life and also the happiness in lifeof others. It stands for all those ideals, purposes, influences, institutions,and the ways of life and conduct that shapes the character and evolutionof man both as an individual and as member of the society.Dharma is the Indian Concept almost synonymous with integrity. Howeverit has a wider scope. It includes openly spirit, righteousness (godliness)and fearlessness. Let us review these three divine elements.
Spirit 
:
 
Man is the soul. He is essentially divine. Dharma directly evolvesfrom spirit. Integrity seems to shy away from it. There is no shynessregarding spirituality in dharma. Dharma is spirit in Indian Ethos. TheWestern society is secularized. Indian society has a happy union betweenspiritualism and materialism. Although integrity honours all moral values,it gives only lips sympathy to the spirit through the notion of wholeness.Integrity defines wholeness leaving out spirit. It is the spirit which canbring out a true sense of wholeness. It is the spirit which makes us whole(Poornatva)The inclusion of dharma is like rediscovering a vacant upstairs’ room inone’s heart chamber. The spirit, our boss, lives there. We imagine thatspirit is not within us and the upper floor seems to be empty. . Indianethos openly recognizes the spirit as our boss and declares ‘Do right, dogood, and be good’ and the whole chamber of our heart shines with theLight of Consciousness.
Righteousness: 
 
Dharma demands right action. Do the right thing. Indharma, not mere action but rightness is given great emphasis.
Fearlessness: 
 
integrity means courage. Dharma stresses fearlessness.When the divine is present within you and you experience his presence,what is there that can touch you or whom you need fear when He is
