Spiritual Intelligence through the Lens of the Bhagavad Gita: A Route to Mental Wellness
Keywords:
Spiritual intelligence, Mental well-being, Bhagavad Gita, Conservation of Resource TheoryAbstract
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to establish a link between spiritual intelligence and mental well-being. Well-being should be recognised and embraced as a core strategic pillar in every premise setting and not something we realise as a reaction to struggle or distressing data. Humans are, inarguably, the most important assets of a nation, and therefore, for the holistic growth of India, investing in the well-being of its people is a must. Spiritual intelligence may be beneficial for improving well-being among people. Also, this paper aims to identify constructs of the Bhagavad Gita that could contribute to the idea and practice of spiritual intelligence.
Methodology - The present study incorporates qualitative research and literature from different data sources, such as Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Research Gate, which were extracted. Keywords used were "Spiritual Intelligence", "Spiritualism", ''Mental well-being", "Mental health" and ''The Bhagavad Gita".
Findings - After reviewing a large body of literature, it is concluded that spiritual intelligence plays a major role in promoting well-being in India. Moreover, the paper outlines that the individual who connects with spiritual intelligence by practising the core philosophies of the Bhagavad Gita will be able to gain well-being emotionally as well as physically.
Limitations - The paper focuses on research papers published in the English language only. Other than published papers, no focus has been given to dissertations, working papers and conference papers. The paper considered only spiritual intelligence as a psychological variable which affects mental health.
Implications - The paper outlines that the individual who connects with spiritual intelligence by practising the core philosophies of the Bhagavad Gita will be able to gain well-being. Indeed, to harness the productivity of human resources in India, adopting and inculcating spiritual intelligence is important.
Originality - This research is based on determining the core constructs from the Bhagavad Gita that establish the relationship between spiritual intelligence and mental well-being. The conservation of resource theory is used as a theoretical framework in the study.
