Indian culture has a rich spiritual heritage. It is deeply rooted in religious practices on one hand and spiritual practice on the other. Well-being means individuals ability to enjoy life and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Mental wellness is viewed as a positive attribute, emotional well-being, the capacity to live a full and creative life, and the flexibility to deal with life's inevitable challenges. We are living in an era of Knowledge economy wherein the primary source of wealth is human capital. Today, the challenge for management professionals is how to ensure its human capital to convert data into meaningful information and convert that meaningful information into common business intelligence and ultimately convert it into Wisdom? This paper is an attempt to answer these questions. Ancient Indian philosophical text, the Bhagavad-Gita is a sermon given by Lord Sri Krishna to Arjuna in the battlefield. The three principles which have been emphasized by the Bhagavad-Gita are the management of mind, management of duty and the principles of self management. The principles propounded therein, seem to have universal application and useful for managers to mould their character and strengthen themselves to develop their managerial effectiveness. Man’s understanding of the world around him is proportional to the understanding of the self. There exists a correlation between the self-knowledge and the outer world. This paper aims at exploring the divine principles in Bhagavad Gita for its application to mind management & development of human capital.
