<p justify;\\"="" style="text-align: justify;"> Abstract: In the present study an attempt was made to see the significant changes exist if any in the feeling of being alienated by the worker who practices meditation and the worker who do not practice daily meditation. Marx's theory is founded upon his observation that, within the capitalist mode of production, workers invariably lose determination of their lives and destinies by being deprived of the right to conceive of themselves as the director of their actions. Workers are alienated by the bourgeoisie, who own the means of production. An example of the alienation of the worker from the work he produces is the worker who attaches tires onto a car in an auto manufacturing plant. Although the worker has created a part of the car, he is alienated from his labor by the fact that the auto company will sell the car and reap the profits, rather than allow him to keep some of the profits for himself. The present study aims at understanding the level of work alienation of non-meditators and meditators. The study aims to find out the level of difference that exists between non-meditators and meditators work alienation. Samples of 100 people working at different work set-up were selected randomly from Hubli and Dharwad cities of Karnataka state. Work Alienation Scale of Pal and Ramyashilpa were used to study the level of work alienation of non-meditators and meditators. The results reveled that non-meditators differed in the level of alienation when compared with meditators.The obtained‘t’ value was 8.27which is highly significant at 0.001 level of significance. Hence it shows that Non-meditators experienced high level of work alienation than meditators.
