Karma Nu Vignan: કર્મનું વિજ્ઞાન
by Dada Bhagwanકર્મ શું છે? શું સારા કર્મો ખરાબ કર્મોને ધોઈ શકે? શા માટે સારા માણસો દુઃખી થાય છે? કર્મો બંધાતા કેમ રોકી શકાય? શરીર કે આત્મા, કર્મોથી કોણ બંધાયેલું છે? આપણા કર્મો પુરા થાય છે ત્યારે શું આપણું મૃત્યુ થાય છે? આખું જગત કર્મના સિદ્ધાંત સિવાય બીજું કંઈ નથી. બંધનનું અસ્તિત્વ પૂર્ણપણે તમારા ઉપર નિર્ભર છે, તમે પોતે જ તેના માટે જવાબદાર છો. બધું જ તમારું આલેખન છે. તમે તમારા શરીરના બંધારણ માટે પણ જવાબદાર છો. તમારી સામે જે આવે છે એ બધું તમારું જ ચીતરેલું છે; બીજું કોઈ એને માટે જવાબદાર નથી. અનંત જન્મો માટે તમે જ “ સંપૂર્ણપણે અને એકલા “ જવાબદાર છો.- પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રી કર્મોના બીજ ગયા ભવમાં નંખાયા હતા તેના ફળો આ ભવમાં મળે છે. આ કર્મોના ફળ કોણ આપે છે? ભગવાન? ના. તે કુદરત અથવા ‘વ્યસ્થિત શક્તિ’ (સાયન્ટીફીક સરકમસ્ટેન્સીયલ એવીડન્સ) કહેવાય છે તે આપે છે. પરમ પૂજ્ય દાદાશ્રીએ, પોતાના જ્ઞાન વડે કર્મોનું વિજ્ઞાન જેમ છે તેમ ખુલ્લું કર્યું છે. અજ્ઞાનને કારણે, કર્મો ભોગવતી વખતે રાગ – દ્વેષ થાય છે, તેથી નવા કર્મો બંધાય છે જે પછીના ભવમાં પાકે છે અને તે ભોગવવા પડે છે. જ્ઞાનીઓ નવા કર્મો બંધાતા અટકાવે છે. જયારે બધા કર્મો પુરેપુરા ખલાસ થાય છે ત્યારે છેવટનો મોક્ષ થાય છે.

Karma and Grace: Religious Difference in Millennial Sri Lanka (Religion, Culture, and Public Life #46)
by Neena MahadevAround the turn of the millennium, Pentecostal churches began to pepper majority-Buddhist Sri Lanka, setting off a sense of alarm among Buddhists who saw Christianity as a neocolonial threat to the nation. Rumors of foul play in the death of a Buddhist monk, as well as allegations of proselytizing in the aftermath of the 2004 tsunami and during the final stages of civil war, spurred nationalist anxieties, moral panics, and even episodes of violence by Buddhists against Christians suspected of facilitating “unethical” conversions.Through vivid ethnography and keen observations of media events, Karma and Grace illuminates disputes over religious freedom and pluralism amid the rise of charismatic Christianity in Sri Lanka. Neena Mahadev explores the dueling efforts of Buddhist nationalists and Christian evangelists to reshape Sri Lanka’s religious, economic, and political landscapes. She considers theological and political impasses between Buddhism’s vast timescales of karma and Christians’ promises of the immediacy of their God’s salvific grace. While Christian missions spread “the Good News,” subsets of Buddhists produced bad press, sting operations, and disparaging media to impede born-again churches from taking root. In gripping detail, Mahadev recounts how modernist and traditionalist Theravāda Buddhists, Pentecostal newcomers, long-established Christian denominations, local deity and spirit cults, and the innovations of mavericks intermingle in a multireligious public sphere. Even amid trenchant conflicts, Karma and Grace demonstrates that social proximity between rivals is also conducive to religious experimentation and the ambiguities of identity that allow Sri Lankans to live with difference.
Karma and Reincarnation in the Animal Kingdom: The Spiritual Origin of Species
by David BarretoInvestigates the spiritual anatomy and evolution of animals• Examines the anatomy of the spiritual bodies of animals, including their aura, etheric fields, chakras, and mental, astral, and buddhic bodies • Details how reincarnation and karma work in the animal kingdom, including how the way that animals die can have different effects on their spiritual bodies in the astral realms • Explores the spiritual, energetic, and psychic abilities of many animals and insects Where do the spirits of animals go after they die? Do animals have chakras or auras? Why were animals worshipped in ancient religions? Exploring these questions and more, David Barreto presents a deep investigation into the spiritual evolution of the animal kingdom, from ants and cockroaches to cats, dogs, owls, pigeons, dolphins, and whales. He examines the spiritual anatomy of animals, including their aura, etheric fields, chakras, and mental, astral, and buddhic bodies. Detailing how reincarnation works among various species, Barreto explores their experiences between physical lives, how they accrue karma, and how the way that animals die can have different effects on their spiritual bodies in the astral realms. Drawing on both modern physics and metaphysics, he reveals, for example, how dogs can love unconditionally because of their large electromagnetic field, which nourishes the etheric bodies of those around them, and how cats can detect subtle energy shifts and disharmonies and conduct etheric filtration while they sleep. Examining esoteric schools as well as ancient spiritual traditions around the world, the author explores how animals are viewed and worshipped in different religions and how animal adoration and animal-connected gods arose in ancient Egypt, India, and China. He looks at animal totems, animal archetypes, animals in alchemy, and the astral connections between animals and elementals. The author also examines the spiritual and energetic repercussions of meat consumption and animal sacrifice, revealing the astral and etheric components of slaughterhouses. Detailing the role of the animal kingdom in the Age of Aquarius, the author shows how, with the awakening of this new astrological era, animals will have their earthly lives elevated with lasting worth and dignity, equal to the love and respect they have been transmitting for millennia.

Karma: A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny
by Sadhguru&“Full of valuable insights to guide you.&”—WILL SMITH &“Thoughtful and life-affirming . . . a must-read.&”—TONY ROBBINS &“This book will put you back in charge of your own life.&”—TOM BRADY A new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of &“karma&” that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment, from the New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned spiritual master Sadhguru.What is karma? Most people understand karma as a balance sheet of good and bad deeds, virtues and sins. The mechanism that decrees that we cannot evade the consequences of our own actions. In reality, karma has nothing to do with reward and punishment. Karma simply means action: your action, your responsibility. It isn&’t some external system of crime and punishment, but an internal cycle generated by you. Accumulation of karma is determined only by your intention and the way you respond to what is happening to you. Over time, it&’s possible to become ensnared by your own unconscious patterns of behavior.In Karma, Sadhguru seeks to put you back in the driver&’s seat, turning you from a terror-struck passenger to a confident driver navigating the course of your own destiny. By living consciously and fully inhabiting each moment, you can free yourself from the cycle. Karma is an exploration and a manual, restoring our understanding of karma to its original potential for freedom and empowerment instead of a source of entanglement. Through Sadhguru&’s teachings, you will learn how to live intelligently and joyfully in a challenging world.
Karma: What It Is, What It Isn't, Why It Matters
by Traleg KyabgonThe Buddha's teaching on karma (literally, "action") is nothing other than his compassionate explanation of the way things are: our thoughts and actions determine our future, and therefore we ourselves are largely responsible for the way our lives unfold. Yet this supremely useful teaching is often ignored due to the misconceptions about it that abound in popular culture, especially oversimplifications that make it seem like something not to be taken seriously. Karma is not simple, as Traleg Kyabgon shows, and it's to be taken very seriously indeed. He cuts through the persistent illusions we cling to about karma to show what it really is--the mechanics of why we suffer and how we can make the suffering end. He explains how a realistic understanding of karma is indispensable to Buddhist practice, how it provides a foundation for a moral life, and how understanding it can have a transformative effect on the way we relate to our thoughts and feelings and to those around us.

Karukku
by Bama Translated from Tamil by Lakshmi HolmstromKarukku means palmyra leaves, that, with their serrated edges on both sides, are like double-edged swords. By a felicitous pun, the Tamil word karukku, containing the word karu, embryo or seed, also means freshness, newness. In her preface, Bama draws attention to the symbol, and refers, to the words in Hebrews (New Testament), ‘For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart’ (Hebrews 4:12).
