We have developed a new formulation to obtain self-gravitating, axisymmetric configurations in permanent rotation. It is applicable not only to barotropic equations of state but also to baroclinic ones, for which angular momentum distributions are not cylindrical. The formulation is based on the Lagrangian variational principle. Some test calculations are presented, in which we have achieved an error of $O(10^{-4})$ in the Virial relation. We believe that this method could be a major break-through in stellar evolution theory, in which it is a common practice that rotation is included only approximately in one dimensional models.
