Official Review: Karma by Laljee Verma

[revna01]

Very interesting review. Karma must be a very difficult thing to accrue in a pure state. I always give money to homeless people begging in the street, thinking ‘there but for the grace of God go
I’. Yet what I’m doing is selfishly upping my karma rating for my own benefit.

Your willingness to objectively self-analyze is refreshing!! Thank you for reading and commenting!

Karma is definitely a word that people throw around a lot. It's interesting to see that it's a word with a lot more depth than we all think. I particularly like the three contributing factors. This sounds like a really interesting book.
Thanks for the review!

It's interesting that many people want/expect karma to hurt the person that hurt them. But this retributive intent is not doing themselves any favors in the eyes of karma, either!

This is a good review of this book about karma by D. Lalji Verma. The concept of Karma is very interesting to me. After reading your review, I want to put this on my reading list. Thank you for writing it clearly and honestly.

I have to give the author credit for tackling such a hard to pin point subject. I do believe that our good deeds come back to bless us, but that isn’t why we do it, of course. Good deeds create good feelings in the giver, and I love that feeling! Negative feelings have a tendency to backfire so there is something to all this. Your review was well done and good for you to stick with it even if some parts were a bit dry.

The author addresses those good feelings (raising the vibration) we receive when we are practicing selflessness or being kind. And the reverse is true, respectively You've touched on a major point Thanks for your insights

Haha! Karma is not something small. Sometimes even this life times is not enough to understand this concept. I have been studying karma and its reaction the vipaka for the past 13 years of my life and I can honestly say it is a never ending subject. Thank you!

How fascinating! After reading this book, I can truly understand why you say karma is a never ending subject to study

Thank you for providing so many details on the way the author describes karma and the factors influencing individuals' karma. I am interested in the topic and I would like to learn more especially since the author approaches the topic in both a philosophical and scientific manner.

This book sounds like a nice fit for you! Thank you so much for reading and leaving a comment

Although I use karma and fate in my vocabulary rather often, I do not precisely believe in them. I do not believe the world is balanced or a proponent of justice though there always is cause and effect.

I'm not one to believe in Karma, but I never thought Karma functions with various complex philosophical concepts. I find the idea of karma from the previous life really intriguing. I might give this book a try one of these days. Thanks for this informative review

I believe in karma and this book explains it so well. What goes around comes around is a true saying and it has happened to me on several occasions. Thanks for the review.

I don't often read nonfiction, but the concept of karma is a very interesting one and I'm intrigued--although, like you said, it's definitely not going to be a light read! Thank you for your detailed review, it was very nuanced and very helpful

My religious beliefs exclude karma as a possibility, but I like learning about other viewpoints, and this sounds like a thorough exposition of the concept, so I may be picking it up.
