THE GHATOTKACHA GAME: MARKETING LESSONS FROM MYTHOLOGY Are there any? Would it be a stretch to connect the dots, to learn from stories of yore, from characters that have been chiselled and enhanced across centuries? A marketer seeks inspiration from all possible sources, including ones that are clearly outliers! Let us take one particular character from the Mahabharata. Ghatotkacha is a very powerful character in Indian mythology. Everything from Ghatotkacha’s birth to his death is a game. Does he play different games, or is he a part of one himself? After reading this book, ask yourself: did Ghatotkacha play games, or did he participate in the success of a bigger game? As a marketer, what can I learn from his life? What can I implement and what can I share? Marketing. Mythology. And the many messages therein.

Essentially the following commentary on the contents of the Nägara-Kertägama has been made up from notes by former editors of the text together with remarks, criticisms and digressions by the present author. As Kern, Krom and their contemporaries were especially interested in dynastie history and archeology their notes on those subjects are legion, and as a result of their studies on many points a communis opinio has been reached. The argumentations which led up to this end are not reproduced in the present edition. The interested reader is referred to Krom's great books: Oud-Javaansche Kunst and Hindoe-Javaansche Geschiedenis. It is to be expected that before long the results of Krom's li...
