Karma Its Applicability And Relevance In Day To Day Life

Every act is part of the karmic process; bound to have its effect. Karma is considered the all-pervading, universal law of existence. It perhaps finds its greatest relevance in the sentient minds of humans. The karma doctrine cannot be viewed from a religious standpoint; it is relevant to all, regardless of sect, community or beliefs. No one can claim to live life without performing an action – from simple life sustaining activities to highly complex scientific or spiritual enquiry. What we do dictates what we get in this life...and the next…and the next…till we are freed of our karmic burden. Genetic and transmigrating influences are, even today, subjects of research and discussion. The quantum and quality a living being brings from previous karma, if any, is a matter of intense debate, as is the effect that actions may imprint on our conscience. Deliberation on contentious issues is basic to human nature and has been part of human discourse from the dawn of civilisation. The attempt to define karma has consumed immense mental resource over the millennia, along with the search to understand the essential meaning of life. In the vast literature which exists on the subject, pundits from almost every society and religious group in the world, have attempted to explain the significance and validity of karma, or its lack. Though karma is basic to life, its purport remains veiled; deeply relevant yet poorly understood. Self awareness is a feeling of being in the universe; a substance dot in a life-process on the platter of existence, in the paradigm of time and space

Concept of Time and God have drawn deep interest and attention of thinkers and philosophers. The book has 6 chapters; Book I “Time Immortal” is about timelessness of Time, and a hypothetical dialogue in imagery between Time and God. The chapter ends wondering: “God is timeless, or Time is godless No one knows, none can answer!” Man’s intent to root out evil has been a running story of human failure. Mankind has not succeeded in suppressing demonic thoughts, any time; any better. Book II contains a metaphorical account of mythical fight between goddess Durga and demon Mahishasur, and reminds us: “Moon cannot shine in the absence of sun, Nor the clouds float without wind, Man cannot survive without nature, And god- concept without a fiend!” Hindu scriptures say that the earth was resurrected from abyss of darkness. Book III “Resurrection” is about the rebirth of earth from the abysmal darkness. It has been a dream or fantasy of man to create a heaven on earth. Book IV “The Endeavour” is on this theme. Book V “Divine Fusion” is about meeting of purush and prakriti, meeting of man and woman, and eternal love. Lastly Book VI “God Delusion” is as it suggests.

In New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer's young adult contemporary romance, a girl is suddenly gifted with the ability to cast instant karma on those around her – both good and bad. Chronic overachiever Prudence Barnett is always quick to cast judgment on the lazy, rude, and arrogant residents of her coastal town. Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her. Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals. When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals—not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed . . . love and hate... and fate.

Everyone has experienced pain. No one is immune from loss and suffering. With all of the evil in this world, how can anyone rationally believe in a good and loving God? People who believe in God experience intense evil, yet they still retain their faith, claiming that God helps them in times of need. Still others claim that this same evil is proof that God does not exist; that if God were real, he would limit the suffering. If you have ever thought that it seems that things should be a certain way, that you are inclined toward believing, or not believing, in God because of the existence of evil, you are part of the conversation of the abductive problem of evil. This book does more than just explore what modern philosophers on both sides of the aisle have claimed about God and evil. It also illuminates an intricate world that is crafted for people having free will, for people who make moral choices. For it is within the realm of this intricate world that we may find the answers we seek.

Indo-Caribbean women writers are virtually invisible in the literary landscape because of cultural and social inhibitions and literary chauvinism. Until recently, the richness and particularities of the experiences of these writers in the field of literature and literary studies were compromised by stereotypical representations of the Indo-Caribbean women that were narrated from a purely masculine or an Afrocentric point of view. This book fills an important gap in an important but underestimated emergent field. The book explores how cultural traditions and female modes of opposition to patriarchal control were transplanted from India and rearticulated in the Indo-Caribbean diaspora to determine whether the idea of cultural continuity is, in fact, a postcolonial reality or a fictionalized myth. kala pani, to Trinidad and Guyana provided courage, determination, self-reliance and sexual independence to their literary granddaughters who in turn used the kala pani as the necessary language and frame of reference to position Indo-Caribbean female subjectivity with equating writing as a pubic declaration of one's identity and right to claim creative agency. The book is of critical interest to those interested in twentieth-century literary studies, Caribbean studies, gender studies, ethnic studies and cultural studies.

Gita needs no introduction. The whole great Vedic civilization of Indians are known and related to the philosophy enumerated by this book. The sermon of Bhagwan Krishna to grief-stricken Arjun was told in the battlefield where two armies were standing to start the battle. Since birth, every person starts his fight; one may call this as action or living. But it is a form of fight where we are not alone to live, to act; we are always with our opponent offering resistance to us. The battle might get over due to our abandoning the fight but the cause remains alive, kicking us in our brain, creating a violent environment converting us into a person with ever-agitating, complaining mind and intellect. The non-violence wrapped under the cowardice is more dangerous than the demonstrated violence. Throughout the teachings of Gita we can notice the tone of universalism in suggesting self-elevation for all irrespective of caste, creed, and education-level of holy texts – Vedas and Upanishads. Teachings of Gita have broken all those misgivings of a common man. One can also practice meditation by learning the knowledge of truth and can identify SELF as different from the material body. Uniqueness in teachings of Gita is its direct approach to a common man. It suggests a direct relationship and communication between Man and God. In Gita, Bhagwan Krishna dwells upon the wisdom about reality as well as a practical way of living day-to-day life and improving our SELF. While reading Gita we would learn Bhagwan Krishna discoursing on the most secret and sacred knowledge and now here we are learning the tips for our better behaviour and conduct. I wish and pray for the readers a purposeful and happy life. Kindly accept my regards to read Gita for your all-round growth and self-elevation. With due respect and regards to all the schools of thought I would like to draw inference from their interpretations to make it purposeful and a learning experience. The objective of my writing this book is to start a thinking process amongst us the useful and relevant message to improve our day to day life with the blessings of Mother Gita.
