Storybook Favorites: Karma, Powerful Women in Indian Epics, and Lessons of Dharma

I thoroughly enjoyed peering through the different stories created by former students in this course. I was able to gain much insight and inspiration through engaging in each stories background. However, the three that caught my eye were all aesthetically pleasing, intriguing, and informational.

1. The first storybook I found captivating is called Karma. Karma is something the majority of us have heard in our lifetime, however the deep roots existing behind it are more so unknown. I enjoyed reading about the origins of karma. The story teller gave three examples of old lessons that serve as reminders of karma's role in life. Although each lesson consisted of different experiences, the outcomes proved to be redundant. What you put into the universe and the actions you actively take, will indeed reap the same energy.
2. The second storybook I chose to write about, is called Powerful Women in Indian Epics. This particular story really appealed to me, because I consider myself a strong woman and perceive every woman I see to attain unwavering strength. It is difficult to be a woman in this world and even so when you add different characteristics such as race and ethnicity. This story captures influential and strong women like Sita, Kausalya, Draupadi, and Kunti within Hindu culture. There distinguished roles help enrich others lives, and prove to result in equitable karma.
3. Lastly, the third storybook I gained insight from stems from the Lessons of Dharma. I have only briefly heard of Dharma and what it entails. This storybook helped me obtain greater comprehension of its purpose. Dharma is the way in which one should live their life accordingly. It is the path that leads to an abundance of blessings and thriving. Two lessons are further elaborated on as to show what unravels of life, when one chooses to seek and cultivate experiences that violate Dharma.
