Indian Law and Karma

Indian society operates under two very different systems of law, one ancient, cyclical and metaphysical in nature, and the other modern, statutory, and civil, being grounded in the tradition of English common law as established during the imperial period of the Raj. The one system has jurisdiction over eternal matters of life, death and rebirth, and over social status and obligation in the sphere of earthly existence. The other, Western-based system is familiar to us through the institutions of a local, state and federal judiciary, presided over by a high court that dispenses justice according to the laws and proceedings of a formal, independent and constitutional system.

India's independent judicial system originated under the British imperial regime, and today its concepts and procedures resemble those of Anglo-American countries also grounded in common law.(Lingat, 1973)

India's chaotic legal system is, however, something of an impediment to the country's economic and political unity. Derived variously from the constitution, statutes, customary law and case law, it is largely based on English law as it existed under British colonial rule. While U.S. or U.K. law have been revised several times since World War


The Hindu wedding ceremony is an elaborate formal rite that takes place over several days. A day before the wedding the palm and feet of the bride are decorated with "Mahendi". A canopy or mandapa decorated with flowers is erected at the place of wedding. On the wedding morning, various ablutions and rituals are performed on both the bride and the groom in their own homes. Their bodies are anointed with turmeric, sandalwood paste and oils, which cleanse the body, soften the skin, and make it aromatic. They are then bathed to the chanting of Vedic mantras. Finally, after long preparation on the mandapa canopy or marriage stage decorated with flowers, with a fire as witness- the Hindu marriage ceremony begins. The wedding is a long and elaborate ceremony, with every step rooted in Vedic tradition, signifying various aspects of the married life that is come.

After gaining the truth, the knowledge of Atman, one is freed from the life in ignorance, and, therefore, freed from constant rebirth. The way to find Atman was to engage in deep meditation. A follower of the way of knowledge was to look inside and peel off layer by layer: any needs, senses, feelings, emotions, thoughts, and the awareness of the world, because all of that is an illusion which prevents one from seeing the true Self- the Atman. When the yogi (one who is engaged in meditation techniques) will be able to put away the consciousness itself (by this consciously putting himself into the state of dreamless sleep), he ill attain the knowledge of the Atman through which becoming a part of Brahman unaffected by ignorance.

The Wheel of Life represents the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth which is always turning like a wheel. In the center of the circle are three animals which stand for hatred, greed, and confusion. These stand in the way of a person's enlightenment.
