Abstract :

This work aspires to combine classical philosophical views with contemporary sustainability frameworks by formulating a Total Interpretive Structural Modelling (TISM) model that associates the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita with the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) paradigm, which encompasses social, environmental, and economic realms. Utilizing a qualitative-exploratory methodology, each chapter of the Gita is conceptualized as a variable within this analytical framework, thereby elucidating interconnections that collectively contribute to sustainable practices. The analysis employs Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and MICMAC methodologies to delineate the hierarchical relationships, revealing foundational, integrative, and dependent chapters that collectively constitute a progressive ethical evolution. The findings indicate that the philosophical and ethical insights of the Gita—most notably those concerning self-awareness, duty, and detachment—provide a pragmatic, values-oriented framework for sustainable leadership and organizational strategies. By synthesizing spiritual insights with modern sustainability paradigms, this research advocates for a trans-disciplinary approach to enhancing organizational resilience and ethical governance, thereby positioning the Bhagavad Gita as an enduring guide for addressing contemporary challenges.
