Yamas: 5 Commandments on Universal Moral Ethics
Universal ethics encompass five key principles applicable to all beings.
Ahimsa (Non-violence)
The cornerstone of yoga ethics, Ahimsa encourages kindness and compassion toward all living beings. Ahimsa encourages us to apply gender equality and safe manufacturing practices on our business dealings.
Satya (Truthfulness)
Honesty in thought, speech, and action fosters transparency and trust. It involves ethical communication and ensuring truthful dealings in social and professional spaces.
Asteya (Non-stealing)
Extending beyond physical theft, Asteya advocates for fairness and avoiding exploitation. It calls for integrity in resource usage, respecting intellectual property, and supporting sustainable practices.
Brahmacharya (Moderation)
Often interpreted as self-restraint, Brahmacharya teaches us to moderate desires and actions, promoting mindful consumption and balance in relationships.
Aparigraha (Non-possessiveness)
Aparigraha urges us to let go of greed and attachment, fostering a mindset of gratitude and simplicity.
The *Niyamas* focus on cultivating personal discipline and inner strength.
Shaucha (Cleanliness)
Physical and mental purity are essential for clarity and well-being. This principle aligns with sustainable manufacturing practices and global environmental standards.
Santosha (Contentment)
The practice of gratitude and acceptance cultivates inner peace. It encourages us to appreciate the present moment rather than constantly striving for more.

Tapas signifies perseverance and
dedication, inspiring us to pursue
personal growth and
resilience.

purpose.
