Trikaranasuddhi

Purity and Unity of Thought, Word and Deed

Trikaranasuddhi, a word in Sanskrit language, indicates the purity and unity of (1) thought (2) word and (3) deed, or a congruence amongst the trio. This has also been referred to as the purity and harmony of thought, speech and action.^[1] The idea of Trikaranasuddhi has some connection to the commonly expressed adage of 'Talk your Thought, Walk your Talk'.

Trikaranasuddhi has been discussed in articles related to leadership and management.^[2][3] Practice of Trikaranasuddhi is considered as an indicator of success for those leading from a spiritual based context.^[4] There has also been exploration about the linkage between Trikaranasuddhi and effectiveness in leadership.^[5][6] The spiritual lore of India speaks about the existence of this congruence in great people ("Mahatma") through the expression "Manassekam, Vachassekam, Karmanyekam Mahaatmanam".
