Download or read book Karmath Jeevan written by Krishan Aneja and published by Partridge Publishing. This book was released on 2015-09-09 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first most pertinent question I faced before I could start narrating my story was, what title would sum up the essence of my journey? I thought the title should be apt and inspiring enough for me to stay focused on basic nuances that formed my core belief. A lot of churning spread over few weeks helped and I zeroed in on Karmath Jeevan. To me it means a world and is the most apt description of my life. Simply put, Karmath Jeevan means an action-oriented life; a life dedicated to sincere hard work as a dharma (duty) without undue anxiety for the results. I consider I lived in practice by this principle though not as an articulated thought. The house-hold environment during my childhood days and formative years led me to follow the elders especially my mother, my brother-in-law and two sisters whose daily routines, though apparently ordinary and simple, greatly impacted my mind and my thought process. The visits to temples along with them and listening to discourses of holy men/women influenced me. I learnt; one should focus on the task ahead, act sincerely with honesty of purpose and be satisfied. That was said to be a clear path to leading a meaningful, satisfying and fulfilling life.

Download or read book The Vedic Origins of Karma written by Herman Wayne Tull and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the author seeks access to Karma's origins by following several clues suggested by the doctrine's earliest formulation in the Upanistexts (circa 600-500 B.C.) These clues lead back to the mythical and ritual structure firmly established in the Brahmana texts, texts concerned with the rituals that chronologically and conceptually precede the UpanisThe rise of the karma doctrine is tied to the increasing dominance in late Vedic thought of the cosmic man (Purusa/Prajapati) mythology and its ritual analogue the "building of the fire altar" (agnicayana).

Download or read book KARMA Its Applicability And Relevance In Day To Day Life written by LALJEE VERMA and published by One Point Six Technologies Pvt Ltd. This book was released on with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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

Download or read book Karma Mind and Quest for Happiness written by Dr. Susmit Kumar and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Karma, Mind, and Quest for Happiness, Dr. Susmit Kumar seeks to explain certain facts of Tantric philosophy, such as the constituent parts of the mind, the effect of mantra on the mind, and how karma may be scientifically defined and explained. Until recently, people considered units of time and distance in terms of 100200 years and 100200 miles; astronomers now measure time and distance in billions of years and trillions of miles. Even so, science can study the scientific laws of only 4 percent of the materials in the universe, as it cannot see the remaining 96 percent, referred to as dark matter and dark energy. Great individualssuch as Christ, Buddha, Moses, Prophet Muhammad, and Krishnaknew something about the workings of the Universe that is not common knowledge; this is why we claim their actions to be miracles or religious dogma. Furthermore, during the last 10,000 years, many saints in Asia have explored the human mind and its relationship with the Infinite. Most of them did it after first having established the limitations of physical pleasure and intellectual knowledge. When they started to explore the functioning of their minds and how everything around them was created, they developed a theory called Tantra. In Karma, Mind, and Quest for Happiness, Dr. Kumar will explore how Tantra is free from the distorting influences of time and place.
Download or read book Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions written by Wendy Doniger O'Flaherty and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karma is perhaps the most famous concept in Indian philosophy, but this is the first comprehensive study of its various meanings and philosophical implications. Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions offers a harmony of approach and an underlying set of methodological assumptions: a corpus of definitions of karma, a dialectic between abstract theory and historical explanation, and an awareness of logical oppositions in theories of karma. No “solution” to the paradox of karma is offered, but the volume as a whole presents a consistent and encompassing approach to the many different, often conflicting, Indian statements of the problem. Broad in scope and richly detailed, this book demonstrates the impossibility of speaking of “the theory of karma” and supplies the basis for further study. Exploring methodological issues arising in the study of a non-Western system of soteriology and rebirth, the contributors question the interaction of medical and philosophical models of the human body, the incorporation of philosophical theories into practical religions with which they are logically incompatible, and the problem of historical reconstruction of a complex theory of human life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karma or actions form the fabric of our daily physical existence. Our actions govern our destiny. The Karmic concept forms the central core of Hinduism. It holds that the consequences of one’s deeds follow the soul as it migrates from one place of existence to another. Karma also refers to action in a physical daily sense. Our attitudes and beliefs that govern these actions are vital to well being and harmony. “Karmanyeva Adhikaraste,” says the Lord in the Gita. We are responsible for our actions, but hold no rights over the fruits thereof. Listen to Bhagawan as He unravels the mysteries behind karma. Over the next few pages, try listening to His voice as He speaks of how our actions make us what we are, and how we can use them to become what we want to be.

Download or read book Karma Dharma and Moksha written by Jagat Pal and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a critical conceptual analysis of the concepts of karma, dharma and moksha which constitute the key features of religious, cultural, ethical and philosophical thoughts of the Hindus, the Jains and the Bauddha s. The book discusses various philosophical issues pertaining to these concepts in an analytical manner without showing any disrespect to any religious and philosophical systems of the Hindus, the Jains and the Bauddha s. It has been argued on the logical ground that the doctrine of karma suffers from its own inherent contradictions. But it does not rule out the possibility of human freedom and the attainment of moksha. The concept of karma does not preserve a single meaning in the Indian religious, cultural and ethical heritage. Its meaning has been changing at different stages. It has been also argued through the analysis of the concept of niskama karma that doing of any dharma does not make it either moral or immoral. It becomes moral only when dharma itself is moral. The concept of niskama karma is a teleological concept. It is not a deontological concept like the Kantian concept of duty as it is generally understood by many Indian scholars. We all face moral dilemma in our day-to-day s life. This book-provides a solution to this problem. The author also argues on the rational ground that we can solve religious conflicts by secularizing our religion in an ethical way without discarding it or showing any disrespect to any other religion and can live a better and happier life for which we all aspire. Its simple analytical style makes it useful not only for students and teachers of philosophy but also for general readers who have keen interest in the Indian religious and cultural -traditions. Most of the topics of this book are included in the under-graduate and post graduate syllabi of many Indian Universities.
