A Reflection from Doctrine of ‘KARMA’

Our un-surpassing desire for any achievements or result engage us in actions, which is termed in Sanskrit as KARMA. Often KARMA is defined as KAMA YOGA but there is hale and heaven difference between KARMA and KARMA YOGA, this need to be understood through an unbiased and logical mind.

to have a clear understanding; as in all action i.e. according to the said verse KARMA has three aspects, Actor, Action and Fruit of the Action. The Actor is the cause of the Action and similarly Action remains the cause of the Fruit of the Action. Merely because one is dreaming a result of action doesn’t make you the cause of the result of action. Like bricks is the cause, building is the effect. Cause means the reason, the reason of something. So “Ma karmaphal heturbhu” defining us that a person cannot be the reason of the result of the action. Result of the action is produced by the action not by the doer. Your art of action will produce the result. One may expect any result but don’t have any choice and authority to produce the result. That’s what the first line is clarifying therefore if one doesn’t have choice and authority on action then one feel like not doing anything. So predominantly there is a possibility that one may become idle. “Akarmani” means idleness; don’t be attached to the idleness. When one doesn’t have any choice of result, whatever be the result may come or not. This may lead you to inaction (idleness).

“LEADERSHIP OF ADI SHANKARA & ITS CONTRIBUTION TO INDIA”*

Sri Bhagwadpada Adi Shankaracharya the Incarnation of Lord Shiva was born in Kalady in 788AD and had undergone extensive studies and thereafter he went on Vijaya Yatra (triumphant sojourn) for Sanatana Dharma and spread the hidden secret of the knowledge as propounded by the Seers and Sages of India from the time immemorial ages. He made the commentary on Bhagwad Gita with respect to Non- dualism of the God & Universe. He interpreted and made the commentary on several Upnishads mainly the 10 principal Upnishads. In addition to these he authored numerous Books and Texts. The whole country was stirred up intellectually by sri Adi Shankara’s books and commentaries and arguments. Not only does he become the Leader of the Intellectuals but also he could able to catch the imagination of the masses. It is an unusual thing for a man to become a great leader chiefly because of his powerful intellect and for such a person to impress himself on millions of people and on history. Great soldiers and conquerors seem to stand out in history. They become popular or are hated, and sometimes they mould history. Great religious leaders have moved millions and fired them with enthusiasm, but always this has been on the basis of faith. The emotions have been appealed to and have been touched.

And the great success that met his campaign all over the country currents travelled rapidly from one end of the country to another.

Adi Shankaracharya, the greatest thinker Hinduism ( Sanatana Vaidik Dharma) Thiker has accomplished upheaval task to restore the Sanatana Dharma back on track and revived its pristine glory. His texts are highly readable with sharp intellectual imputs. Every one across the ideological spectrum, must read the remarkable philosophical underpinning of Hinduism, making it one of the most vibrant religion in the world. In the very short span of his life which is just for 7 years from the age of 25, after his completion of his studies under his Guru “ Bhagwadpada Sri Govindapadacharya”.
