The book aims to understand such queries and explains the force behind such situations on the basis of Karma. Its purpose is that of a searchlight which illuminates this unending journey of life marked with repeated birth and death.
It will act as a guide to enable one to tread those paths which were void of obstacles and any unseen dangers thereby acting as torch bearer to achieve the ultimate destination of salvation.
