Attaining Spirituality and Ethical Values through Sports

Sports is a sacred occupation that provides pure entertainment. It should be for social uplifting, social service and a sanctified activity for the wellbeing of human beings. But when it is taken as a profiteering profession it ruins the players and they develop attitudes inclining towards momentary gains. They make use of synthetic and harmful drugs and harm their sanctified body as bestowed by God. Such attitudes lead both the players and the society towards deterioration. In order to develop positive attitude and steer clear from such evils, it is imperative to understand how sports inculcates a spiritual outlook in masses.

This conceptual presentation highlights excerpts from Indian scriptures to underline the link between sports and spirituality.
