From the Author

This text deals with the basic laws of karma. Its purpose is to fulfill the need for a deeper understanding of the laws of karma an dhow they affect your life. As limitation is due to karma, understanding how karma is created and how it is dissolved will allow you to become happier, to produce a more fruitful earth life, and to more toward enlightenment.

How many things come to pass in this lifetime because of karma, and how many things in this life are accomplished by exercising free will? This old question is not easy to answer. Whatever the answer is, we are all looking to obtain greater freedom and spiritual success.

The whole philosophy of Kriya Yoga centers on the concept of karma and mankind’s ability to soften that karma.

Any philosophy, any religion, any study of reality that does not stand the tests of reason or utilitarianism will not benefit mankind. The doctrine of karma is reasonable in that it substantiates, sustains and upholds the law of universal justice.

4.0 out of 5 stars In depth but too brief!, July 19, 2005

This review is from: The Laws of Karma: Deeper Insight to the Esoteric Teachings of Kriya Yoga (Paperback)

Firstly, I would like to recommend this book to all spiritual seekers because this work tells one, on the ways to improve one's karma. It goes deep into the various aspects of karma, but each aspect of karma is being commented briefly. This is just not enough in dealing with such a deep spiritual topic. I wish that this book would provide the reader with a more in depth analysis of karma. In short, this is just an introduction booklet on the topic of karma.

I like Goswami Kriyananda's treatise on Karma. It provides a highly detailed explanation of the law of karma and the mechanisms by which it operates. May require multiple readings. Has inspired me to more deeply engage in a practice of yoga.
