Abstract: We propose covariant and non-abelian generalizations of the magnetic helicity and Beltrami equation. The gauge invariance, variational principle, conserved current, energy-momentum tensor and choice of boundary conditions elucidate the subject. In particular, we prove that any extremal of the Yang-Mills action functional $frac14in{t}_{O}megar{F}_{muu}{F}^{muu},d^{4}x$ subject to the local constraint $$ satisfies the covariant non-abelian Beltrami equation.
