	From Times of India dt. 8.12.1999	Q1. You speak of 'global competitiveness', 'free market economy', 'macro economic policies' and 'transnational corporations'. How do you think a better understanding and implementation of the values of the ancient texts will solve economic problems?
	A1. Swamiji:	... all aspects of human problems are inter-connected. Simply put, the scriptures tell you to set a goal, work toward achieving it; when you achieve
	it, find out if that is what will help you grow.When applied to the corporate field, same philosophies aid in policy forming, decision making and a host of other challenging management tasks. Through goal realisation, all problems can solved, not just economic ones...
	Q 2. What message do you have for the world of management?
	A 2. Swamiji:	...Preparing yourself alone is a very shortsighted approach. Prepare your
	workers to operate in the competitive global market. Hone their hard and soft skills and use the wisdom from the past as a guideline for the future. Indian managers have the onus for taking the country forward economically...enlarge your thinking and your vision will enlarge automatically. (to be contd.) TOP
