About This Session:
The Law of Karma is a fundamental principle of Hinduism, however we may question to what extent do our actions help us in achieving a desired result. Join us as we explore the "The Art of Karma" through the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 47: "Your right is in performing karma along, never in its fruits. Do not be the cause of the fruits of karma. Despite this, do not be incline towards inaction either."
