Bhartrihari: The King who became a Rishi

As wise Rishis have justly declared, ‘To die is a passing pain but to be poor is an eternal anguish.’ Besides, I am also in agreement with the Rishis’ declaration, ‘It is better to die loved in youth and not hated in old age.’ If you would be generous to offer me a sizeable material reward for my family to live comfortably – that would be more desirous to me than the youth and romantic escapades the fruit can offer.”

Kootaneeti

In a world replete with confusion and chaos, where finding solutions to impending problems are turning out to be extremely hard the Vedic Art & Science of Kootaneeti has a lot to offer. Here are some important articles we recommend.

Adi Shankaracharya, Buddhism, Buddhists & Kootaneeti

All religious figures have some historical identity that is diametrically opposite to their religious one. Historical Buddha did not create Buddhism nor Historical Jesus – Christianity. Like Vedic Yogis, sages like Krishna, Rama, Shiva, etc., were turned to Gods by Hindus. Also, neither Vedic Rishis nor Yogis ever founded Hinduism or any religion or religious order. There need not be any doubt that Adi Shankaracharya was a historical figure. After taking the pledge of Sanyasa at the tender age of 13, he brought down the world’s oldest known proselytizing religion, which used religion and politics to meet its end in

Kootaneeti: A Forgotten Vedic Art & Science

Shakti or Power is the essence of Rajyam or Leadership. There are those who consider themselves to be either “unlucky” or “undeserving” of power as they cannot comprehend the dynamics of attaining or retaining it. Those who consider themselves to be “deserving” of power are often the same who are unable to handle it. As a result, such people turn up as leaders who are used, misused and/or abused by those around them. They are branded as Ashaktas or incompetent by Kautilya a.k.a. Chanakya. Those who are most deserving of handling power, on the other hand, even without being in

Importance of Neeti, Rajaneeti and Kootaneeti

There are two critical Vedic Sanskrit words one must know before comprehending or understanding the utility of, Kootaneeti; they are Neeti and Rajaneeti. You may find it surprising to know that Neeti has existed across families, societies, nations, and even relationships since time immemorial as a set of rules (written and unwritten), mannerisms, and etiquettes to ensure harmonious and peaceful coexistence. It is important to note that no two Neetis are similar. More than often, Neetis also contradict each other. Neeti that is acceptable in one family may not be acceptable in another. What is found acceptable by one society may

Tantra, Mantra, Rajaneeti & Kootaneeti: Unmistakable Connection

Mantra and Tantra were regarded by Kautilya as two crucial elements in the art and science of Vedic approach to politics – Rajaneeti. Without a plan and a strategy to execute it Shakti (read Power) is of no use. In Arthashastra, he declares “Power by itself is useless” and that “Person who seeks power without sound Mantra (objective) and Tantra (strategy) is verily consumed by it.”

The Wisdom of Kootaneeti for a Polarized World

According to Vedic Rishis and creators of Kootaneeti, it is one thing to have emotions and completely another being emotional. Says Kautilya a.k.a. Chanakya in Arthashastra “A leader without emotions is undesirable, but a leader driven by his emotions is disastrous.” If only we read history, we could learn the validity of these sage words written two millennia ago. Not convinced? Go to YouTube and watch some scintillating speeches by Adolph Hitler. His emotionally churning words driven by lame socialistic ideas galvanized the whole German nation to hate and persecute Jews, mercilessly. The situation is not much different from despots in other parts of the world, either. The worst leaders have often been those who have toyed with people’s emotions.

Why Kootaneeti is Now More Important than Ever?

There are times to fight, there are also times for retreat. We need not win all the battles in life. Some battles make us strong some teach us valuable lessons. To try and win all battles is vain; but to try and win losing battles is stupidity. Long before we can win, we must gracefully learn from our defeats. To make it worse, we neither considers patience nor perseverance a virtue; most see them as “vice.” The modern definition of success, the ones that are propagated by our business schools, the media organizations, and societies is clearly flawed. Success is not when we receive some award or when some magazine puts us on its cover, or a filmmaker decides to make a biopic. The Vedic idea of success is best explained by Krishna:

Hitashatru

That Mortal Enemy We mistake for a Dear Friend

Be that in politics or life - at large - neither enemies nor friends are forever. No matter how strong or powerful an enemy, Rajaneeti & Kootaneeti provides us with knowledge to handle/neutralize them. But when a friend becomes our enemy even while continuing to pretend as a friend - (s)he becomes a HITASHASTRU - a potent threat. Understanding this fundamental concept of HITASHASTRU is the key to holding, retaining or losing the position of power.

10 Wisdom on Investing & Wealth Creation

The objective of investing is to identify, create, nurture, and sustain wealth as well as those who assist in wealth creation. If we are not creating wealth, then we are only spending, and thereby depleting, it. When spending exceeds our earning, debt rises, and we inadvertently suffer due to our fiscal irresponsibility stemming from fiscal ignorance. No matter how much wealth we may have earned, it is bound to exhaust once we stop earning it. Therefore, we have but no option but to keep earning wealth – sustainably – throughout our life not only for the sake of prosperity but also personal independence. In this article, U. Mahesh Prabhu enumerates ten of the finest but little-known wisdom on investing & wealth creation.
