Keywords:
Career, indigenous, legacy, Obligation, Brahmin Priest, KeralaAbstract
Legacy creates a mental frame work and mind-set for a deeper attachment towards a career. Individuals enter a career which enthuse in them a sense of obligation .The obligation may be family driven, societal driven or culturally driven .Legacy ensures a fuller participation in the work one does. It transcends personal aspirations to create a zone of mind-set tying one to a particular way of thought and life perspectives. The paper makes a genuine attempt to understand the concept of legacy in shaping career from an indigenous perspective.
