The Ayurvedic concept of Vajikarana and modern business practices related to
motivation and productivity both aim to enhance vitality, energy, and performance—
whether in terms of physical health or business output. While Vajikarana promotes

environment where employees can operate at their best potential.
The idea behind Vajikarana therapies is that by improving one’s physical stamina,
emotional balance, and mental clarity, individuals are able to perform better in all
areas of life. Similarly, in business, motivated employees with a sense of purpose and
high energy contribute more effectively to achieving organizational objectives. Both
focus on enhancing performance by addressing underlying health (in the case of
Vajikarana) or intrinsic motivation (in the case of motivation and productivity).
By fostering motivational wellness in the workplace, organizations can ensure
that employees are not only physically healthy but also mentally and emotionally
motivated, ensuring that they bring their best selves to work.
