Abstract

Sanskrit literature is a treasure trove of ancient wisdoms which continue to be pertinent even today. From time-immemorial, our ancient sages have been extolling the virtue of silence. “Mounam”, the Sanskrit word for “silence” derives from the word “Muni” as “Muneh idam - Mounamiti” (that which is pertaining to Muni). This shows how important silence was for the ancient ṛishis. However, in this age of fake news and social media, the signal to noise ratio has become very low, with truth and ethics getting lost in the din. In the following article, we let “silence” speak for itself. From the subhashitanis that silence quotes, discerning readers can easily understand the role of silence in ethics and management.
