According to him, spirituality is finding popularity with management courses because it helps employees in their search for a purpose in their personal and professional life and also because it is a novel way to motivate them into finding creative approach to problem-solving.[11]

View on Vedanta[edit]
Bodhamayananda says
"The youth are attracted [to vedanta] because vedanta is a philosophy of strength and fearlessness and not a dogma rousing fear for god in the human mind."[14]
According to him, Bhagavad Gita is "a book of practical vedanta."[15]
