Just about everyone knows the word "karma." It's so popular that products and companies are using it. But to simply say "what goes around comes around" is a bit too simplistic to describe a doctrine that has influenced civilizations for millennia.
In his new book ‘Karmic Relief’ author Phil Goldberg provides the deep detail underlying this concept in a way that is understandable by both theologians and those without advanced Religious Studies degrees alike. This week Fred Stella engages with Phil on the basic beliefs of both karma and rebirth.
