The Modern and Useful Explanation of ‘Krishi-Gaurakshya-Vanijyam Vaishya-karma Svabhavajam’

Indian Knowledge System is an inclusive concept. The correspondent between Knowledge and Conduct is its fundamental concept. Indian culture is flexible in its nature from its beginning to establish social harmony and order. The result of this flexibility is that Indian value system redefines and re-interpretate its own principles according to time and space. In 18th chapter of Bhagwad Geeta, Lord Krishna says Arjuna about Four Varna and their Kartavya. In this, He describes the swabhav based karma of Vaishya Varna, which is traditionally Krishi, Gau Rakshya and Vanijya. In present time, it’s necessary to re – interpretate these Krishi, Gaurakshya and Vanijya terms based on sustainability. This method of reinterpretation will lead a new order to make relevance of social value system. Key Terms- Varna system, Sustainability, Krishi, Gau, Vanijya
