THE SAPTASWARA PHILOSOPHY |
|
The foundation of Human Resource Management at Redbricks Education is vested in the Saptaswara philosophy of investing in the “discovery of a rhythm and order in collective action” that is both vital to an organization and makes sense through alignment at the individual and collective levels, and a spontaneous synergy in action.
The Context
Today, man is confronted with the reality of globalization, exponential growth of knowledge and an unprecedented rate of change and it is becoming seemingly impossible for us to arrive at a balance between values and deeper aspirations and the external transactions with the world around us.
It is, therefore, becoming imperative for us to delve into ourselves, discover that which is eternal and human and find ways of meaningfully deploying it in our work and our life.
The key word to explore is Sathvikam - a state of mind that resonates with others and with the context. In this state, the senses are open and the minds and hearts of the individuals in a group are resonating. This happens when individual minds are capable of resonating and the collective vision is deeply evocative.
A person who has a deep and meaningful inner life as well as great accomplishment and excellence in outward action is a Satvik. In order to get to the state of Sathvikam one has to put into practice the steps recommended in Saptaswara: the seven key values and practices that can provide the foundation for a beautiful life. |
