The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to simply as the Gita, is a sacred Hindu scripture that is part of the Indian epic Mahabharata. It is written in the form of a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and the god Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. The dialogue takes place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just before the start of a great war between two factions of the same royal family. The Bhagavad Gita addresses the moral and philosophical dilemmas faced by Arjuna, who is torn between his duty as a warrior (Kshatriya) and his reluctance to fight against his own relatives and teachers who are on the opposing side of the war. Krishna provides guidance and wisdom to Arjuna, imparting profound teachings on various topics such as duty (dharma), righteousness, devotion, yoga, and the nature of the self (atman). The Bhagavad Gita promotes inclusivity and collaboration by emphasizing the interconnectedness of all beings and the importance of working together harmoniously. In higher education, fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration among students, faculty, staff, and administrators promotes diversity of thought, innovation, and collective achievement. By integrating these management lessons from the Bhagavad Gita into higher education practices, institutions can cultivate ethical leadership, resilience, and a supportive learning environment conducive to academic excellence and personal growth.
