Summary

A lot of people nowadays only have surface-level knowledge about karma. It’s often misunderstood and oversimplified in various contexts. For instance, you might be under the impression that karma is the consequence of our own “actions”. You reap what you sow, whether it be good or bad. Surprisingly, it’s actually more than just our actions but even our thoughts and words that are considered karma. It has a really profound philosophy.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 90 of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I hope you are doing well. On the show today, we're going to dive into a really fascinating conversation about karma. And we get into so many aspects of karma, right from the law of karma to how karma is a part of yoga.
0:25.0	And even though we have all these laws of karma, which is often not very clearly known,
0:28.4	why do we still end up behaving in a certain way?
0:34.7	And then we definitely get into the conversation about good karma versus bad karma,
0:37.1	Papa and Punya, as we call it.
0:42.9	And we draw parallels to new age law of, you know, the new age concept of law of attraction.
0:45.0	And is that connected to karma?
0:50.6	And as yoga teachers and students, we want to know how to convert karma into karma yoga.
0:55.5	And we talk about the role of a teacher when it comes to getting help with the karmas and so much more. My guest who is here for this topic is Medha Narvani. She comes from a family
1:03.5	of deep-rooted Vedic values. Her initial career was that of an economist and she ended up
1:09.9	traveling to Australia, US, UK and really gave her a global outlook.
1:16.2	But she was always very spiritually curious and that took her back to India. So she trained under her
1:22.7	guru in a traditional guru's shishya parampara, the guru disciple tradition, and she's pursued her
1:29.2	masters in yoga, and she's also an author of a book, a novel that is called Mystic Road
1:36.0	Warrior, and she talks about it at the end of today's episode. She strongly believes that traditional
1:41.2	yoga is an experiential science science and it fundamentally transforms any sincere
1:46.4	practitioner. So I want you to really get into the layers of the conversation here. This is an
1:53.4	in-depth conversation about karma. There might be things in here that you grasp instantly.
1:58.5	There will be concepts that Medha will mention that depending on where you are in your yoga journey,
2:03.1	it may or may not be second nature to you.
2:06.1	But it's one of those conversations that you circle back to again and again and really get a more deeper,
2:13.0	authentic and educated understanding of karma.
