The recent horrific events in Norway have left many wondering “how could this happen?!”. As a hindu, we believe in the cycle of life and death and the concept of Karma. That is, the energy of the universe doesn’t dissipate, it transfers. I am not a scholarly expert on the topic, and to be quite honest it gives me no comfort in matters like this, but my upbringing tends to keep me from questioning things like this (to some extent).
If I asked my wife (I haven’t) she may say her Christian upbringing would explain events such as these in terms of sin and salvation. I would be interested to know how CHCs (Christian-Hindu Couples) discuss tragic, seemingly mindless events with their children, frankly any faith for that matter.
Regardless, my heart aches for those families. I couldn’t imagine the grief.
