While worshiping deities Hindus recite Shlokas in praise of the God or the Goddess that are often profusely superlative in nature. Such Shlokas repeatedly remind the deities of whatever good that they (the deities) possess or whatever great deeds they (the deities) had done in the past. Most Hindu deities have hundreds of names, highlighting not only their superhuman qualities but also the supernatural acts of valor, generosity, and compassion the particular deity is revered for. For For example, Lord Krishna is also Madhusudan (for having killed the demon Madhu), Parthasarathy (for having acted as the charioteer of Arjuna during the Mahabharat war), Kali is also referred to as Mahishasurmardini (the destroyer of the demon Mahishasur), Maryada Purushottam Ram, are only a very few illustrations.
It is said
that Lord Ram came in contact with Hanuman when he was desperately searching
for Sita, who was kidnapped by Ravan. Hanuman, himself, never offered to help
Ram for carrying out a search for Sita.
It was only Jamwant (the bear) who reminded Hanuman of the
extra-ordinary powers Hanuman possessed. After remembering about his own
strengths, it was Hanuman, acting as a junior associate of Sugreev, who made
the search of Sita and the victory of Ram over Ravan possible.
I have not
found anything superfluous in the way knowledge, conduct, and wisdom has been
arranged in various forms of Shastras, including the Puranas that contain
innumerable stories, which may be true, half-true, or totally imaginary.
Why should
we not try to continually remind all; from the kings ruling over us, to the
people who live and work with us, to help and support us in life, to the people
who serve us; of all the good qualities they possess?
We never
intentionally try to spoil the things we do. When the outcome of our effort is
poor it hurts us. If the outcome of our efforts is unsatisfactory for a long
time, we become convinced that we cannot give a satisfactory outcome. On the
contrary, when our efforts are supported by a positive frame of mind with regard
to the outcome, the chances of a positive outcome become bright.
If we want
good results, we must try to fill the entire environment with positive
vibrations by reminding ourselves, and all those who work with us about all the
positive efforts we have ever made.
This
important lesson on the subject of management learned from Stuti of Devatas
and Devies, we may experiment with.
