The appointment of Sariputta and Moggallana as the two main disciples took place on this significant day of Navam Poya. Some monks were discussing as to why some of the senior monks were overlooked in making these key appointments. The Exalted one – Gautama Buddha with HIS divine eye saw what the disciples or Buddhist monks were contemplating and explained to them the appropriateness of those two appointments. In order to clear the doubts of the monks and to elucidate or to make clear, Buddha explained the fact that seniority was not the only criteria or qualification that had been taken in to consideration in these two key appointments.
In the Buddhist history, it was on the Navam Full Moon Poya Day the first ever Buddhist congregation was held. In the modern world, Management plays an important rule. Administration of business concern or public undertaking can be defined on Management. Bhikku order too maintained Management principles 2,500 years ago. This was known as Vinaya or Discipline. It was well established with the first Buddhist council which was held on Navam Full Moon Poya Day Day.
