Dear venerable group members, I am a new entrant to this forum and have been enlightened by the points of discussion that are thrown open by the stalwarts. Looking at what brought us into this world ( past deeds ) and where we are destined to migrate ( present karma ) seem fruits of , may be, an accredited belief. I have had many occasions and reasons to ponder on the misfortunes that befall good people who indulge in god praising/ fearing path whereas that set of " not so pious " group get away with all of worldly successes. I understand it is not the material wealth that can form the component of " fortune " or " success " but in most cases " what we are is how we are " or vice versa. Is every event in our life a direct " result " of our poorva janma? Should it be like that ? Could that " reasoning " be accepted by our younger generation so as to perform for a future birth? All of you, please excuse me for this ignorance. I was born in Srirangam and raised there too. Subham I.K.Rengarajan
