Relevance of Nishkama Karma Yoga in Today's Business World

Abstract

Today's business world is dominated by stiff competition and survival is becoming increasingly difficult. This has also resulted in negative competitive behaviour and degeneration in value-based business practices where end has become more important than means. The Karma theory provides an operational basis for constructive achievement and is perhaps more relevant today than in the Mahabharata times. The doctrine of Karma Yoga emphasizes detachment and equanimous attitude towards success and failure and inculcating virtues like sacrifice, dedication, belief and greater good of the people as the motive for action. The tenets of Nishkama Karma Yoga should serve as guidelines and codes for the managers of the business, if they are striving towards achieving long-lasting success and happiness.
