Abstract

Spiritualism and feminism are an analogous track, for the most part now prevailing in today's corporate world. The corporate world is a proactive activity, but often the organisation reacts to events in the outside world that are hectic, filled with much alertness and work. The corporate world and communication activities are always initiated by the work ethics and individual personality. At the same time the corporate world, which is now very much entrusted with women employee and their faith, belief and conviction have moved towards outer existence or spirituality. Gender differences in spirituality and related traits are an assumed reality despite the lack of empirical information that directly compares women and men in corporate world due to the role of work and the platform of work that dealt in different terms and times.

The Hindu religious custom teaches both women and men that Sita, the female lead of the Ramayana, is the idyllic spouse and woman. Among the more conventional, a woman is a wife by definition of her gender and she fulfils her religious and social duty when she becomes wife. The oratory around Sita’s wifehood as a reflection of wifely duties is generally described with terms like loyalty, devotion, and reliability. A good wife is a virtuous wife and the words, decorous, reserved and dedicated describe her virtues, in very much the same terms as how a wife is described in Hindu law books that outline morality and ethics. Sita is a powerful icon of wifely duty in the Hindu tradition that is insidious in a way. Sita’s name is invoked to describe women who exemplify that ideal or to encourage women to take up Sita-like qualities. There wouldn’t be any need to describe these qualities alongside the invocation of Sita’s name, since her qualities and virtues are synonymous with her name. But in today’s era it might be not be possible for women to endure all the quality like Sita, but the radiance somehow still exists among the women of today. In corporate world which is a contradictory to idyllic Hindu traditional, conventional religious thought and belief from past aura. With changing time many thing changes but the manner towards work is round about the same. Prevailing work culture in corporate world or management practice, the radiance of spiritualism is transacted in altered way by any gender. Spirituality can be overall separate from religious belief and practice as well. The distinctions between “spiritual” and “religious” are by no means authoritative. There is a high degree of association between the constructs and both are associated with internal processes and persona, as well as outward materialization of those inner qualities. An intangible construct permeate with multiple meanings, spirituality has been defined in the research literature as the process of seeking personal authenticity, genuineness, and wholeness; transcending one’s current locus of centricity (i.e., recognizing concerns beyond oneself); developing a greater connectedness to self and others through relationships and community; deriving meaning, purpose, and direction in life; and openness to exploring a relationship with a higher power or powers that transcend human existence and human knowing.

Spirituality is an inner science that creates conducive inner atmosphere. When you transcend the limited experience of what you as yourself, your experience of life will naturally be in a different dimension…which is not physical, the spiritual (Sadhguru, 2010).
