Description
Summary:This article takes the concept of niṣkāma-karma of the Hindu text, the Bhagavad Gītā, to give a vision for the consecrated Christian life. The vows and the mission are the two pillars of the consecrated life in the Catholic Church. These two are compared with the two notions of lokasaṃgraha and svadharma that are the basis of niṣkāma-karma. From the perspective of this Hindu concept, the article tries to explain the fullness of the consecrated life in the Catholic Church.
