“…Participants in this movement have now published numerous volumes focused on reclaiming psychological insights and models from indigenous Indian traditions and philosophies (e.g. Cornelissen, Misra, & Varma, 2014;Rao & Paranjpe, 2016;Rao, Paranjpe, & Dalal, 2008). Empirical studies of spirituality and religion in India are also now increasingly investigating these phenomena in general samples as well as in Indian samples adhering to specific traditions such as Hinduism or Islam (e.g.…”

“…It is classied as the following: (i) suffering arising from external physical threats (ādhibhautikam) such as falling objects or menacing animals, which can be dispelled by physical means; (ii) anguish resulting from mysterious agents (ādhidaivikam) like ghosts or evil spirits, which may be dispelled by wearing amulets or chanting mantras; and (iii) suffering arising from within oneself (adhyātmikam). The last kind of suffering is further subdivided into two types: (a) suffering arising from the imbalance of bodily humors, which can be treated by medication, and (b) suffering arising from mental causes (mānasa), and other emotional problems which demand what we now call psychotherapy (Rao & Paranjpe, 2016).…”

“…Brahman at the level of the person. The Brahman is the supreme self which is the undifferentiated subjectivity (consciousness) underlying all reality (Rao & Paranjpe, 2016). On the other hand in Ramanuja's Visistadvaita system, the true self is seen as atomic, changeless, and devoid of any parts with wisdom and self-consciousness being its attributes.…”

“…In order to obtain one's true self, the Bhagavad Gītā recommends the following route to self-realization: focusing at one-point concentration; overcoming greed and desire; paying attention to action and not dwelling on the fruits of actions; cultivating wisdom and being guided by it. The individual who has realized his/ her true self is one who is "rmly founded in wisdom," having given up worldly desires and found a "profound a source of satisfaction in the depths of his own inner self" (Rao & Paranjpe, 2016).…”

“…In context to the idea of true self, Gita also talks about concepts like Brahman and Para Brahman. According to Rao and Paranjpe (2016), Brahman is understood as something that pervades the person as well as the universe at large. It is what marks unity in the discrete and changing spectrum of life.In this study, however, Brahman is understood as the interrelated mass of Atman at a collective level i.e.…”

Personnel selection constitutes a very important phase of man-power planning of human resource development. Personnel selection methods are designed with the goal of enabling those responsible for selection to attract and evaluate candidate's capabilities on these attributes. S e l e c t i o n r e f e r s t o a p r o c e s s o f m a t c h i n g t h e demands/requirements of job with attributes, abilities and attitudes of candidates. Basic of selection is thus-individual difference selecting the most suitable ones from the available ones. This is done by using a number of scientic techniques. Large numbers of studies are available which show the widespread use of psychological tests in selection of personnel. A validation process is used to assess the extent to which the personnel selection methods provide valid predictors of job performance or other criterion variables. Various psychological tests are highly effective predictors of success. (Hough &Oswald 2000; Salgado& Cooper, 1999).Since earliest researches on personnel selection, assessment of cognitive ability has been one of the major techniques used to discriminate between candidates and to predict subsequent job performance. During the 1980s, several meta-analytic studies of criterion-related validity of c o g n i t i v e a b i l i t y t e s t s p r o d u c e d c o n c l u s i v e results (Schmidt&Hunter, 1998). The research literature on personnel selection methods generally focuses on one specic indicator of validity, the criterion-related validity coefcient. This is given prominence above all other indicators of validity. Clearly, in many ways this emphasis on the extent to which personnel selection procedures can adequately predict work criteria is appropriate. There is plenty of evidence that general cognitive ability is highly relevant in a wide range of jobs(Jensen, 1986) since most of the job requires a baseline of intelligence (Gottfredson, 1986; Ree,Earles,&Teachut, 1994) and also the measures of general cognitive ability represent the best predictors of performance. of the variance in multiple tests of specic ability (Deary, 2007) leaving some variance unaccounted for. ThePersonnel selection refers to a process of matching the demands/requirements of job with attributes, abilities and attitudes of candidates. The objective of the present study was to develop, validate and standardize a cognitive battery for personnel selection. On the basis of review of literature and brain storming session carried out with the experts, pool of items was developed. The cognitive battery assesses 'g' measures uid intelligence, crystallized intelligence, general memory ability, form perception, perceptual speed, cognitive speed and broad retrieval ability. The item content in various tests were developed based on the narrow strata (stratum 1) given by Carroll (1993)in his model. It is a paper pencil group battery comprising 7 tests to measure7 abilities. The items have been developed in coral draw designing. Statistical Analysis was performed using the (S...
