Abstract

This study explores the meaning of Karma Yoga among young adults through a two-phase qualitative research approach. The first phase involves in-depth semi-structured interviews with 45 young adults, and the second phase consists of in-depth semi-structured interviews with 30 enlightened individuals who have written or given lectures on Karma Yoga. Atlas.ti software version 25 was used to derive themes, codes and complete the network analysis. The themes derived from the study include self-awareness, mindful action, awareness of action, responsible action, duty, relatedness, and global wellbeing. These themes will be further used in developing a scale to measure Karma Yoga among young adults
