Karma has become a household word in the modern world, where it is associated with the belief in rebirth determined by one’s deeds in earlier lives. This belief was and is widespread in the Indian subcontinent as is the word “karma” itself. In lucid and accessible prose, this book presents karma in its historical, cultural, and religious context. Initially, karma manifested itself in a number of religious movements—most notably Jainism and Buddhism—and was subsequently absorbed into Brahmanism in spite of opposition until the end of the first millennium C.E. Philosophers of all three traditions were confronted with the challenge of explaining by what process rebirth and karmic retribution take place. Some took the drastic step of accepting the participation of a supreme god who acted as a cosmic accountant, others of opting for radical idealism. The doctrine of karma was confronted with alternative explanations of human destiny, among them the belief in the transfer of merit. It also had to accommodate itself to devotional movements that exerted a major influence on Indian religions. The book concludes with some general reflections on the significance of rebirth and karmic retribution, drawing attention to similarities between early Christian and Indian ascetical practices and philosophical notions that in India draw their inspiration from the doctrine of karma.

At the end of his life Rudolf Steiner took up the task that was his special destiny; to bring to the West a knowledge of reincarnation and karma. To do this he gave over eighty lectures in 1924 in which he explicitly and concretely revealed the destinies of various individuals from one life to the next in order to show how the general laws of karma operate in individual cases. He also revealed many details of the karmic streams of the members of the Anthroposophical Society. These volumes constitute an immeasurable contribution to the understanding of reincarnation and karma, and the tasks of the Anthroposophical Society in connection with the Archangel Michael. First printed in English in 1953 with the title, Cosmic Christianity and the Impulse of Michael. Karma in the Life of Individuals and the Evolution of the World. Six lectures given at Torquay and London, England, between 12th and 27th August, 1924.

In this book, the author seeks access to Karma's origins by following several clues suggested by the doctrine's earliest formulation in the Upanistexts (circa 600-500 B.C.) These clues lead back to the mythical and ritual structures firmly established in the Brahmana texts, texts concerned with the rituals that chronologically and conceptually precede the UpanisThe rise of the karma doctrine is tied to the increasing dominance in late Vedic thought of the cosmic man (Purusa/Prajapati) mythology and its ritual analogue the "building of the fire altar" (agnicayana).

Is there a karmic connection that binds us to the closest people in our lives? If so, how can we gain insight from past incarnations? Perhaps the answers to these mind-boggling riddles lie in the stars. In "Karmic Astrology," Ruth Aharoni demonstrates how to learn from the karmic footprints visible in an astrological birth chart. She identifies the distinctive karmic characteristics found in the astrological signs, planets, aspects, houses, nodes, and elements. This groundbreaking book can help readers identify karmic partners, understand why a particular mate was chosen, and improve current relations with friends, family members, and spouses. In addition to valuable relationship insight, this book also provides advice and meditations for attracting a soul mate.

As human beings grow in consciousness, their understanding of the law of karma also grows. They no longer see it as a mere instrument to compensate for past errors, but recognize it as an infallible means to fulfill the higher goal of life. They begin to notice that the law of karma is present on various levels of existence and that it functions in different ways. And so they begin to cooperate with it intelligently. They are no longer performers of their destiny, but effective assistants of evolution, true co-creators.
