Greetings greetings my name is Kaisanga and welcome to Radio Headspace on this marvelous Thursday.

0:22.1

Something that was instilled in me like as far as I can remember was this notion of having

0:28.0

good karma especially for my father he was the one that would always say Kaisanga do the right

0:34.8

thing you want your karma to be good and what really threw me for a loop is when something would go

0:41.5

wrong with him and he would say out loud my karma is off he believed his karma was responsible for
