This document proposes a spiritual organizational model based on Kautilya's Arthashastra. It discusses defining spirituality as including universal noble values like love and kindness. A spiritual organization existed in ancient India and was the foundation of Indian culture. Kautilya's Arthashastra, written over 2300 years ago, described a model where the king and organization were guided by a guru and principles of dharma. The document suggests applying this model in modern corporations by introducing a spiritual person or guru into the system to guide it according to dharma and the well-being of all.
