==Motto==

The motto of SLIET is "Yoga Karmashu Kaushalam" (योगः कर्मसु कौशलम् in [[Sanskrit]]). The motto literally translates to "Excellence in action is [[Yoga]]" essentially implying that doing your work well is (true) yoga. It is sourced to [[Krishna|Sri Krishna's]] discourse to [[Arjuna]] in [[Bhagavad Gita]], chapter 2 verse 50. This quote in its larger context of Gita urges man to acquire equanimity because such a soul endowed with the mind of equanimity allows him to shed the effects of his good and evil deeds in this world itself. Equanimity is the source of perfection in [[Karma|Karmic]] endeavors while leading to [[Moksha|Salvation]].<!--Moksha is the ultimate goal of Yoga!!-->
