So for every minute mental fluctuation there is a certain type of chemical reaction and sensation… You are therefore a living repository of karmic memory on levels you are not aware of. Sadhguru is a yogi, a mystic, and the founder of the Isha Foundation, an all-volunteer organization engaged in large-scale humanitarian and environmental projects. The book is divided into three segments Firstly, it reveals the fallacy in our understanding of Karma and offers an authentic meaning. However it does not matter what volumes of karma you have; the moment you start stepping into the subtler dimensions of etheric and bliss bodies, your karma cannot touch you.

Fascinating read, a must for the those seeking self improvement, greater happiness or even enlightenment. Karma: A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny by Sadhguru is a new perspective on the overused and misunderstood concept of "karma" that offers the key to happiness and enlightenment. The backup systems are so efficient that even if you lose your body or your mind, you still do not lose your karma.Through powerful yoga programs for inner transformation and inspiring social outreach initiatives, Isha Foundation has created a massive movement dedicated to addressing all aspects of human wellbeing. Karma” illustrated the immense agency I have in moving from habitual and compulsive patterns to action that is discerning and conducive for my growth. Forget what you think you know about karma--Sadhguru shows us it's not a punishment for bad behavior, but a vehicle for transformation and empowerment. However, the book is a nice reinforcement of the good ideas accumulated from the programs and is a page turner. The book highlights assumptions like this and offers a different premise to try and I am experiencing this as opening new possibilities for creating my life the way I want it.

Regardless of what blunders you commit in the name of love, the karsti not accumulate beyond a point. While the author's effort to rationalize some age-old Hindu concepts are welcome, his premise for this book - the need to shed one's karma - is not something that would figure very high on the average Joe's priority list. In this beautiful, eye-opening book, Sadhguru turns the tables by showing us clearly that Karma is an empowering possibility for taking charge of our lives by choosing how we respond to what is happening. Everyone was using it especially when they thought something unfortunate happened to someone they would immediately say, “Oh it’s their karma.

But the way this book puts it, it suddenly becomes clear, that if you're totally involved with the process, somewhere in the belly of the process, you've already distanced yourself from the outcome, and therefore your abandon is a natural outcome of your total involvement at the moment. Sadhguru has also initiated several projects for social revitalization, education and the environment through which millions of people have been given the means to overcome poverty, improve their quality of life and achieve community-based, sustainable development. The physical body falls back to the earth; however the residue of each one of our thoughts, actions, and above all our energies lingers on… The more conscious the energy work, the more enduring it is. I can’t comment on that part much as I need to experience it to believe and I am sure I will experience it one day.

This book contains some of the deep questions that have been contemplated by sages and seers for centuries that could settle a tensed and distracted mind and explore such deep questions.This was too much and took a lot of energy from me as I wanted to drop the book for each instance in which random anecdotes starting with “It Happened,” broke in the writing. A must read for any seeker or anyone who has ever asked the question "why me", I'm so glad he has written this book in such plain English for people like me. This five-letter word that has baffled humans for thousands of years is finally explained in 272 pages. With these simple yet profound truths, Sadhguru delves into exploring the mechanics of this oft misunderstood and maligned word. It brought back glimpses I have had of the unknowable and unexplainable, and finally gave them meaning and context.

The 1st part of the book, sadguru explains, what is karma and it's cyclical nature which affects three main layers of a human being, annamayakosha (physical body made up of food), manomayakosha (mental body) and pranmayakosha (energy body). This grossly over-simplified understanding has created many complexities in our lives and taken away from us the very fundamentals of the joy of living. This book gives us the tools and actual practices to make this shift in taking responsibility, as the first step towards our true liberation and a more conscious planet.In the fall of 2017, Sadhguru initiated Rally For Rivers, a nationwide campaign aiming to implement sustainable and long-term policy changes to revitalize India’s severely depleted rivers, which found great support among India’s people and leadership. Beyond all the lessons learned, what stood out most to me was Sadhguru’s emphasis on the miracle of being human: we have the potential to live in absolute freedom, crafting an enduring experience of joy, bliss and peace. And moreover, he gives us an intellectual foundation upon which to understand how to use this unavoidable existential mechanism to our favor.
