This book is an attempt to learn the best Management Principles taught by “Chanakya”.

Chanakya was an ancient teacher / trainer from India who transformed one of his students

“Chandragupta Maurya” as a great king from scratch. Chandragupta Maurya was the grand

father of the great king “Ashoka”.

Chanakya had also played the role of a strategic leader to ensure defeat of Alexander when the

latter had attacked India.

Chanakya has shared his knowledge and philosophies through his huge literatures which mainly

include the books popularly known as “Chanakya Niti” and “Kautilya’s Arthashastra”.

“Chanakya Niti” can be considered as his overall management philosophies which have many

verses in Sanskrit language. However, here I have only penned down a few of them to focus on

his more intense teachings in just “1 Page” to add maximum value at the minimum possible

investment of our time.

Here the methodology which we will follow is that to quote the original ‘Sanskrit’ verses by

great Chanakya and then try to learn the management philosophy from the same.

RAJYA-MULAM-INDRIYA JAYAH: Those who have complete control over their senses can

become great leaders. To ensure the same we should learn to keep control over our ‘Mind’

which manages our thoughts, speech and physical actions. Our senses are influenced by Material

Desires. Our true inner self, the soul is linked to the body through mind. Meditation helps in

self-realization, which helps in controlling senses utilization, by developing control over mind.

JIT-ATMA SARVAYEH SAMYUJYET: The super souls, who are self-disciplined and self-

controlled, lead their life with an objective of serving others in a selfless state of mind and

achieve great success for all forms of lives across the globe. Thus indirectly the ones who are

short visionary, greedy and selfish; they ill affect the wellbeing of the world at large.

NASTY-AHANKAR SAMAH SATRU: There can be no other enemy as dangerous as our own

ego. The ego of material achievements like money, fame, power etc. are related to our current

form of life as a human-being which is temporary in nature. We are spiritual beings having

physical existence until we achieve salvation. We should keep ourselves detached from the trap

of ego attracted by our material achievements related to our current form of material life.

SARVA- JAYATYA KRODHA: The one who can conquer anger can conquer everything.

PRIYA-VADINO NA SATRU: The one, who speaks politely and pleasantly, makes no enemies.

SARVASYA BHUSHANAM VINAYA: The best ornament of all is humbleness.

SAT-YEN DHARYATE LOKAH: The commitment to truth leads to real success and true

happiness across the globe forever.

NASTI DEHINA SUKH-DUKHA-BHAV: Happiness and sorrow are two sides of a coin i.e. our

life. Success and failure are parts of the life cycle. Our failures teach us to be careful the next

time by not repeating the same mistakes again. Success in one commitment may guide us to

succeed in other tasks which are yet to be performed in life. Learn from past failure and success,

but live in present. This will help us to plan for the future in a much better way.

TRUSHNAYA MATI-CHHADHYATE: Influence of extreme material desires destroys the

conscience. The one who gets trapped by extreme materialism can not understand the power of

spiritual intelligence and gets biased only towards illusory and deceptive material intelligence.

DUKHANAM-AUSHADHAM-NIVARNAM: The final solution to all the worries, problems

and formalities attached to material forms of lives is only Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.

Salvation is the peak of spiritual growth. It is the ultimate peace and happiness for the

completely enlightened soul having no “KARMA” balance. It’s our permanent liberation from

the slavery of temporary material forms of lives on material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.

VIDHYA-ARVYAPITA KHYATI: Knowledge fetches respect and real success. Learning is a

continuous and never ending process. We should always be ready to learn with an open mind.

YATHA BIJAM TATHA NISPATI: We reap what we sow i.e. Law of Karma.
