Preface
s per the Hindu Epics and Mythology it is believed A that the entire Universe is being controlled by the Three Supreme Powers who are called Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. Brahma has created the world, Vishnu operates or rules the world and Shiva destroys the world. All the three super powers put together form The ULTIMATE viz, the GOD.

G denotes Generate - Brahma – Srushti

O denotes Operate - Vishnu – Sthithi

D denotes Destroy- Shiva – Laya

Even though Shiva is supposed to be destroying the world, I have seen a great symbolism of an Administrator in Shiva's properties which are in His possession among all the Three. Shiva alone is seen with many external things worn on his body. He is so simple in his attire. He wears no ornaments except snake around his neck. He sits on the tiger skin. He applies the ash throughout His body, He wears Elephant skin, etc. After seeing the Shiva's photograph in a sitting posture with all these things on his body, my mind started comparing him with an Administrator. Then I have realized that all the external things with which Shiva is appearing has got so much of inner meaning both philosophically and administratively. Let us not be bothered about the philosophical meaning since many scholars have given. and interpreted Shiva in many directions and dimensions, After carefully looking at the picture of Lord Shiva, lot of symbolism struck in my mind between Shiva and a CEO of an organization.

I have started comparing each property of Shiva or symbols of Shiva vis-a-vis the qualities and basic requirements of a CEO of an Organization to run it very effectively and efficiently.

Similarly I have collected a lot of information regarding the distinguished characters of an Administrator, duties and responsibilities of employees as well as employer which have been mentioned in our Epics, Puranas and by our ancestors. They are still applicable to our present modern era of management.

In my humble opinion this book will be very useful for the Administrators, Entrepreneurs, Students pursuing Management Studies and also the Senior Level Officers in the Government (State as well as Central) and private sectors.
