Introduction Hinduism has always held karma at the heart of its spiritual philosophy, the divine law of cause and effect that governs both the universe and the soul’s journey. Among its many sacred stories, few illustrate this law more profoundly than the legend of the Panch Kedar temples in the Garhwal Himalayas.

Twenty-One Words and Sir William Osler
Sir William Osler holds a unique position in the history of medical science. He inspired several medical practitioners and students around the world. William Osler was born in a small village near Toronto in 1849. He was the eighth child of his parents. He was an average student throughout his school and college life. He was also expelled from his grammar school for abusive language. But 1871 was his luckiest year as he came through 21 magical words in that year. Those twenty-one words were “Our main business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.” Just like us, he was also stressed about his future goals but these twenty-one words helped him to understand the importance of the present. The very next year in 1872, he was able to successfully complete his MD from prestigious McGill University. A mediocre student had become a legendary personality after reading twenty-one words, hence these words can definitely change our lives as well.
