Karma yoga: Vision from indian wisdom on today's business problem of job attitudes

‘Swami Vivekananda’ in his book ‘Karma Yoga’ said that the word ‘Karma’ has been derived from the Sanskrit root known as ‘Kri’ means ‘To-do’; all actions which performwithin the universe is'Karma’. The term ‘Karma-Yoga’ has been borrowed from the holistic book popularly known as ‘Srimad Bhagavad Gita’ which has focused on the philosophy to act without any apprehension for the out-coming of the action performed (Nishkam Karma-Yoga). On the basis of Indian Wisdom, the philosophy of ‘Karma’ generates certain values of work which are followed by the adherent known as ‘Karta’. In India, people do consider work as a duty and its accountability from their past life, hence performing and carrying out duties without any desire for gains, will allow the path for divine transcendental benefits which is popularly known as ‘Moksha’ (liberation). On the other side, Western Philosophy considers ‘work’ as to gain materialistic comfort, so they give complete effort to lead a charming life (Aishwarya Jeevanam).
