Karma and its Relation to Science!

Growing up learned this word Karma, even before what it meant, and its relevance to every human's life. Not believing in a finite, conceivable, God in a culture full of demi-gods(Polytheism, which came out of Mono-theism) it was very interesting journey which required sincere independent investigation of truth(Which according Indian tradition will lead you to Victory, as it is the National motto and emblem of India in Sanskrit as "Satyameva Jayate").



Exploring different kinds of meditation from Pranayama during off school hours, TM or Transcendental Meditation as mandatory High school practice, Sahaja Sthithi Yoga by Sathguru Jaggi Vasudev (then Mr. Jagadish Vasudev), and few other yogas on Independent investigation of Truth, I landed on Vethathiri Maharishi who has taught generations in my family about Simpilified Kundalini Yoga(SKY Meditation). If Pranayama, and TM are long ways of guiding your Kundalini to be awakened. Kundalini force was awakened by Guru who guidedly trains you in raising your force between your third eye(like Shiva's third eye) and helps you practice untill you reach the next stage of Shanthi Yoga. Later it proceeds into various aspects of personal development such as introspection, moralisation of desire, neutralisation of anger, etc.



He used the three different Karma or sometimes four kinds of Karma. After personal research it feels like Vethathiri Maharishi's interpretation is simple and explains the three Karmas Praraptha Karma(accumulate works including your past and past generations works), Agamiya Karma(current works) and Sanchita Karma(the final product of Sanchita and Praraptha karma in your body and soul). The word Karma is nothing but recording of an event or observation of a life event from a subtle event of observing an animal or pet to doing a daily act. So given such a mighty responsibility of being human, everyone knowingly or unknowingly stores Karma. At the sametime has recieved Karma from your elders as Genes. Tadaa!! now everything made sense for me, that science and spirituality are nothing but intertwined, related, harmoniously balanced study of life.



Vethathiri Maharishi, had a clear understanding of scientific, ideas, theories like Gravity, Cosmos, consciousness, etc. I have to delve back into the writings as Shoghi Effendi suggested every human should have few books memorized and should stand by, abide by, hope including Kitab-i-iqan, I can include some Maharishi's books as well.
