Karma, from
the Sanskrit, means "to do." Karma is simply the golden rule: what
you give out is what you receive. Jeffrey Armstrong introduces the science of
karma, reincarnation and the ways in which cause and effect control our lives.
Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences
throughout their lives, which they have chosen, and are based on the results of
their own creation. Karma is not
about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward; it simply deals with what
is brought on by the purposeful action of devas, or divine beings. The
"Law of Karma" is central in Hinduism, Ayyavazhi, Sikhism, Buddhism,
and Jainism (religions born in Nepal and India). Understanding karma broadens
our spiritual wisdom and reveals the profound interconnectedness of all life.

Me
thinks
If there is one thing
that I loved the most about this book is that it reinstated my faith in Karma.
I have always been a very strong believer in Karma though recent activities
around me actually challenged my doubts about it to quite an extent. Reading self help is something I have
thoroughly enjoyed especially when it comes to spirituality as it is a
different experience altogether.
I cannot thank the author
enough for this book and of course a special mention to the publisher Jaico for
sending it across. It came to me at a time when all the good that I had done so
far stood as it is while the bad seemed to multiply and come back to me with a vengeance
of its own. I was disheartened and had lost faith on all that was happening
around me. I was beginning to question God and Karma.
This book in its unique
manner made me believe that Karma exists with all its beauty hidden amidst the
ugliness of the world and it’s just a matter of time for it come out in its
full shape and form. Beautifully written
an out of the world experience, this is one book I am going back again and
again and again. And is a crown in my personal library to be cherished and
shared with loved ones.
