In the United States, Isha Foundation is headquartered at the Isha Institute of Inner-sciences in the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee, Isha Institute is established as infrastructure for raising human consciousness and offers a variety of programs that provide methods for anyone to explore and experience the yogic science in its full depth. It is not difficult to guess which will breed the worst karmas. By worst I do not mean the most immoral; I mean that which creates the worst consequences for you.” The ultimate goal of the author is to get us started on a journey of self exploration of “freedom and discovery. “ He states, he is “ not interested in offering spiritual advice. …What I offer is a way, a living process”

If one does not consciously rewrite one’s karmic software, the regularity of the pattern can feel like it is being imposed from without, rather than initiated from within. But this software is not a fate to be endured. It can be rewritten, dropped, or distanced…” to be him. But now I enjoy and embrace it in a way that I wasn't able to as a young person.... I'm learning to be George Alan O'Dowd from Eltham who it turns out is quite an interesting person. Although karma means action, it does not necessarily refer to physical deeds… karma is action on three levels: body, mind, and energy.”Now, Boy George is telling his story in full for the very first time - from the early days of his music career in the 70s and 80s, through the hedonism of the 80s and 90s, through to the resurgence he's enjoying in present-day, Karma promises to be an illuminating read that holds no punches and lifts the lid on Boy George's crazy transatlantic life and career through the decades. The unconscious mind is therefore a tremendous library of karmic memory. You will find this information very useful if you were approaching it consciously.” Tour de Force from Sadhguru, maybe his best yet. For folks who come from a skeptical or scientific perspective, it's great because Sadhguru speaks to this-he says don't believe anything he says. Why read then? Try it as a working hypothesis and see whether this model captures your experience. I am only about a third through the book but already it is making me think in new ways about how I am creating recurring patterns that I did not even see as patterns before the book, much less see my role in creating them. A crucial aspect is discovering how I am getting new understandings because the book highlights assumptions made about karma, a main one being that it is about reward and punishment for good or bad actions. I think this is a mindset I imbibed unconsciously from the way spirituality or God is understood overall in American culture. 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. Reading “Karma” was a profound journey of realizing just how little I actually understood about karma. As I came to terms with all the falsehoods I’ve held about this term, I began to understand that karma offers the possibility of living in a conscious and inclusive manner. In Karma, Sadhguru brilliantly demystifies the concept of karma and how we can harness our perceptions to change our own futures and, in doing so, create a more sustainable, just, and spiritually enlightened world. If you want to be the change you want to see in the world, read Karma and begin the journey.” —Terry Tamminen, Secretary of the California Environmental Protection Agency for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

finally embracing the man and artist that he is today: I went to a lot of trouble to create Boy George and then I went through a whole battle for years about not wanting I consciously remember several lifetimes. But I do not carry this as a burden…. I carry much more memory than most but I am not encumbered by it because I keep it at a distance.”

Operate] out of a state of inner fulfillment rather than inner hankering. Once this is accomplished your life becomes an expression of bliss, not a pursuit of it.” Depending on the type of [vasana] you emit, you attract certain kinds of life situations to yourself.” Epigenetics, a branch of biology which studies how a human being's behaviors and life experiences impact their DNA, and therefore can be passed on from generation to generation, is being explored by scientists today. However, in the yogic perspective, the influence of the past goes way beyond our ancestors, to the very first life form on the planet. Sadhguru explains the meaning of karma, a term long used and misused in different contexts. Explaining how very deep rooted its influences are, he also shows a way to get a "handle" over the complex structure that it is.
