[Shri satthireddy asked: Mee Paada Padmalaku Namaskaram Swamiji, Swamiji, the entire earth is Karma Loka, and every soul is here to do karma based on their samaskaras. I heard on TV channels that a few astrologers are saying that India is karma bhoomi and America is Yaksha bhoomi, and some places on earth are saying Tapo bhoomi where human incarnation is present, we are calling it Datta Loka on earth.
My question is intensity of doing karma differs from one place to another? Swamiji, if anything wrong is there in writing question itself please teach to this beggar satthireddy 🙏🙏🙏]
Swami replied:- Not only the intensity of action, but also the nature of action varies from one place to the other. The word ‘place’ here means a specific atmosphere. The atmosphere belongs to the specific mental activity and the subsequent activity of action. This means that people of a specific activity reside in a specific place. Your activity always is forced in the direction of your surrounding atmosphere. Your association is responsible for your thinking and your subsequent activity. There is a saying, “If you say about your friends, I’ll say what you are”. This means that the association of surrounding friends always influences your every mental as well as physical activity.

Swami replied (with additional points): The intensity of the karma is influenced by the surrounding atmosphere and hence, as the place changes, the karma also may change qualitatively or quantitatively.
