  In my previous blog, I had mentioned brief details about the healing touch of  'OM'  and how chanting ‘Om’ brings the physical reality of this world into your awareness. In your body, you will connect to your emotions and the subtle impressions of your mind. The recitation of this word ‘Om’ helps in the benefit of our body. Here I wish to say about the importance of ‘ Om’ in different religions  in India.   OM in different faiths/religions:   Om  is considered as the beginning and end of all things; it is an all-encompassing identity. ... Although  Om originates in the Hindu  religion, it is sacred in many other religions  like Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism as well. The Buddha is believed to have heard the Om when he was meditating on the mysteries of life. The sound is said to have led him to the Truth. In the Jain religion, Om is believed to compris the five initials of the supreme authorities who are worthy of being worshipped. The five initials, A+A+A+U+M, tog

The word  kriya  is the activity along with the steps and effort in action, while  karma  is the executed action as a consequence of that activity.  Bhagwad Gita mentions about action as ‘ good or bad’. Thus good karma produces good effect on the doer, while bad karma produces bad effect, both resulting in one's happiness and unhappiness. The effect of karma need not be immediate; the effect of karma can be later in one's current life, and in according to some it extends to future lives.
