About this episode

This episode explores the nuanced concept of karma across various spiritual traditions and its implications in the cosmic order.

Karma is one of the most enduring spiritual concepts across Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and even influences Western esoteric traditions. Often reduced to the idea of "what goes around comes around," karma is far more nuanced. It refers to the spiritual law of cause and effect—the cosmic principle that every action (physical, emotional, or mental) creates an energetic imprint that influences our future experiences. karma is not just a universal law but a sacred thread woven into the lives and deeds of gods and goddesses themselves. These divine beings are not merely outside arbiters of morality—they are cosmic forces that reflect, guide, and sometimes even administer karma in the spiritual world. Sacred Source Home
