"What has advaita got to do with globalisation? Lots, according to the eminent seminar participants including former Election Commissioner T.N. Seshan, Central Vigilance Commissioner N. Vittal, Former Chief Justice of India J.S. Verma and former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao."
"It was pointed out that people are wary of unfair competition and economic consequences of dumping and that religion and the economy have an intimate relationship. Adi Sankara's advaita pointed out the oneness of all things and non-duality in the fundamental unity of things. This can help bridge the divide between the rich and the poor, the developed and the developing, they said. "
"N. Vittal said that now that import barriers are down, businesses have to adopt a policy of quality-advaita to ensure global standards for positive results. ``Total quality management would reflect the cycle of birth and death until quality is perfected. Since advaita is a process to achieve perfection, it can be extended to the marketplace. Therefore quality in the economic sphere is practice of advaita,'' he said."
