As per the Bhagavad Gita, Yoga is skill in action - "Yoga Karmasu Kaushalam". This doesn't limit Yoga to a 1-hour class or practice on the mat, but reminds the sincere seeker that every action performed with awareness and excellence is Yoga. Sri Krishna advised Arjuna to act and fight the battle, because that was his duty was a warrior. He taught Arjuna that karma yoga is working for the sake of the actions themselves, rather than their fruits. The ancient texts advise us to accept our situation in life and to perform actions without neglecting any part of life. This may be understood as completing our karmas. Karma yoga is one of the main paths laid down in the Vedic tradition. According to Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati, karma yoga was the first yoga laid down in the Upanishads, as necessary in order to experience the state of perfection in yoga. When we perform every karma consciously and with non-attachment, we tread the path of Karma Yoga. Karma yoga is defined as any action performed with meditative awareness. Not only must the actions be observed consciously, but also the attitude towards the actions.Join this masterclass to learn about the philosophy and path of karma yoga with practical guidelines for application in daily living.
