Santosh Krinsky has taken the primary points of Sri Aurobindos understanding, explained and highlighted them for the modern reader to more easily understand. Anyone who appreciates the law of karma or entertains some possibility of rebirth or reincarnation would benefit from reading this book.

In the distant past, life was pretty harsh - most work was manual labor, medicine was primitive and there was little law & order - the perfect opening to religions that promised an easy afterlife. Life was mocked as sin, "up there" awaited a magical land of plenty. These religions kept us weak, God made in the image of the local King reduced followers down to slaves/servants, down on their knees begging for mercy and seeking pity. This book asks for a paradigm change - are we still weak? Do we still think we can just run away from problems? This book is for the Strong, the Warrior, for those who see Life as a Great Gift from God, God as our Teacher, as we build the paradise right here on Earth and make Her Proud of us! Create & build a great Future for all life on earth. Only Reincarnation gives us such an opportunity.

Karma, the law of cause and effect, of nature's retribution for lost harmony, and Rebirth, from which it is inseperable, have been described as the oldest doctrine in the world. In today's turmoil, an understanding of Karma is one of the foundations on which we can build a more reasonable world.

Karma and Reincarnation are increasingly popular concepts – but all too often little understood. This short booklet provides a simple, clear, and helpful introduction to this vast, and sometimes complex, subject. This book, although small in size, contains profound truths as it was written by a Master who knows how to use and transform karma on both an individual and global level to bring positive results. He shares his deep understanding of Karma and how it works. His unique approach to karma can help us all by giving us the ability to take full advantage of our current life, and then to better shape our future lives.
