Description

Mumukshu is a Sanskrit term for one who is focused on attaining liberation, and a seeker of knowledge and truth. To be free from the reincarnation cycle, a mumukshu aims at attaining moksha, which means "liberation."

As per Yogic Tradition A mumukshu carries out his/her duties of life like every other living being. However, he/she remains unaffected by the outcome. By developing dispassion and detachment, a mumukshu works his/her way toward Self-realization.

Mumukshus perform all classifications of nishkama karma, which refers to selfless actions. The five categories of nishkama karma are:

Worship of God

Worship of parents and forefathers

Worship of scriptures and sages

Worship of human beings

Worship of all other living beings

A mumukshu reduces performing sakama karma, which refers to actions performed for one's personal gains. Though it is not considered a sin, a mumukshu is expected to reduce performing it. Finally, mumukshus avoid performing nishiddha karma, which refers to harming others physically and mentally.
